The circumstances attending the writing Of

the discharged Knights OF Labor men ahead

''The Mudless Gown" The English is
bad, but there is emphatic meaning in it.
If women will ever so far escape the
thralldom of the autoerat fashion, as to
make their street gowns short enough to
clear the ground by good, broad margin,
we shall have the beginning of an era in
which the sex will learn how to walk
well, instead of shuffiing and waddling
along. But, as the journal to which we
refer well says, even the short gown will
not add to the grace and dignity of carri-
age, so long as the misfit shoe has place
i'll the catalogue of women's attire. 1t is
fact, the same exchange assures us, and
Kate should know, that overlapping, dis
torted toes prevail with women, and the
straight, helpful, strong and bunion-free
female toe is the exception. OF course no
woman with a distorted. cramped foot
can walk well, gracefully or healthy.

which the regiment selected should be

''As the National Guard of the State

that the selection should be made upon
merit; that all other considerations be

wTTCHCRAFT IN 1891.

1t is incredible that in the blaze of the
last years Of the nineteenth century, when
intelligence is supposed to ride upon
every breeze, and superstition has family
should be any considerable group of
people of a civilized nation believing in
witchcraft. But here we have a reliable
account that in the hills Of Earl and
| Douglass townships in Pennsylvania the
creduiities and superstitions that bonded
New England in its infancy control the
lives of country people in the section
named
The New York Post assures us that
~peIls and the evil eye are part and parcel
of their philosophy, and they cling to a be-
lief in omens and the magic of incauta-
tions. Harmless old women are cursed
with the reputation of "hexes," and
clever rascals call themselves witch
doctors' and trade on the delusion. Miss
Mary Ruth of GreshvilIe has recently
lost her reason from worrying over the
story circulated among her neighbors
that she was witch and responsible for
the long continued illness of Mrs. Horace
Boyer, who lives in an adjoining house.
Mrs. Mary WentzeI of Alsace, victim of
witchcraft halucinations, has also been
adjudged insane. Mrs. Elizabeth Weand
of Reading had long attributed a myste-
rious ailment to the magnetism Of a
witch, and, following the advice of
''voodoo" doctor, drank so many noxious
potions of his concoction that she, too,
went mad and made several attempts on
her life. Regular physicians and the
civil authorities profess to be alarmed
about the tenacity and spread of the
witchcraft superstition.
There should be applied to that people
some wholesome discipline, while some
of the Boards of Foreign Missions might
devote part of their energy and the coin
of the devout to the regeneration of the
heather in Earl and Douglass town
ships.

THE FACTS ABOUT OHIO.

Mr.. Carson, who was Clerk of the Com
mite on Ways and Means under Mr.. Nc
Kinley, wrote to the Philadelphia Ledger
on the evening of the election day in
Ohio, saying that while the tariff was os-
tensibly the leading issue in the Ohio
campaign, the silver question was an inn
portant factor, and that to that fact the
defeat of Campbell must be attributed.
He added:
There can be no doubt but that the decIara-
seriously operated against the Democratic
State ticket and materially assisted McKin-
ley. The silver question has been the
cans who are not in full sympathy with the
high rates of duty prescribed in the Mckinley
Act, and of withdrawing from Campbell

those Democrats who are opposed TO free sill
Yer coinage. Campbell lCses tie support OF
those classes and MCKINLEY gai.-s them,
1t was the distrust of the people in the
free-coinage dogma then that lifted some
thing of the load of the Mckinley tariff
from the shoulders of the Republican
party in Ohio. Governor Campbell was
popular, had made an excellent Governor
and was liked and respected by all the
people. He was the equal, if not the su-
perior, of Mckinley on the stump. He
entered the campaign with prestige, vigor
and every prospect of success, and his
opponent was handicapped by the tariff
history he had made.
But Governor Campbell's party could be
trusted to make the traditional blunder at
just the right moment, and it was prompt
to schedule time. 1t threw away the de-
cided advantage it had gained by its tri-
umph in 1890, and proceeded to dabble
with the silver question, and commit it.
self to feebleforcible, k-and-water
declaration that frightened the free silver
men and disgusted the anti-silver follow
ing of the Democracy.
AS the President Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce had said, the men
acing danger Of national prosperity is
tae free silver craze, so the people Of Ohio
believed, and they went over to the Nc
Kinley standard, for very fear of the free
silver compromising and shifting of the
Democratic party in the State. 1t re-
mains to be seen if politicians and Con
gressional legislators will take heed oi
the lesson of the hour.
