The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-12-09

A REFORM Of young ladies' hand
writing is proposed by "matrOn,
who is indignant at the want OF
grace which is shown in the calig-
raphy Of the rising generation. She
calls it bold, coarse, and vulgar,
and compares the writing with the
pretty Italian style that was the
fashion a few years ago. The young
ladies have themselves altered, per-
haps, as handwriting, according to
the modern notion, is sure test of
character.

In Japan a play called the "Ex-
termination of Christianity" is on the
boards. In the slaughter of make
believe missionaries to the shrieks of
the orchestra the act is wildly ap-
plauded. However displeasing this
circumstance may be, it IS less to be
deplored than the more practical
method of China, in which real mis-
siOnaries are used.

Estimates on the Election.

New YORK, Nov. 7.-Chairman
Harfity, of the National Democratic
committee says from information
received from the West this morn
ing he is absolutely certain of the
election of Cleveland; says he will
have pa votes, and Harrison 165.
The Mail and Express says: Re-
publicans expect to carry 26S elector-
al votes, aud concede 164 to Demo-
Gratis. This is on the basis of put
ting six votes in West Virginia
doubtful column, also the three of
Delaware, and giving Weaver Neva-
da's three votes. This gives Har-
rison 104 plurality in electoral col
lege, and granting him West Vir-
ginia. 1t says Republicans cannot,
in view of this, figure defeat for Har.
rison, under any combination. AL
most giving Cleveland all the states
which it is believed he will carry,
together with New York, Indiana
and Connecticut, and he will still be
short of the necessary number to
elect.
Harrison might lose Illinois, Wis
cons'n, Kansas and Missouri, yet
win. He might lose Colorado, Con-
necticuf, Idaho, Maine, Montana,
New Hampshire, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Da-
kota, Vermont, Washington and
Wyoming and win.

Loss of Caste.

In the year 1866 the late Lord Give
and Mr. Verelst employed the whole
influence of the government to restore
Hindoo to his caste who had for
feited it, not by any neglect of his
own, but by having been compelled by
a most objectionable act of violence
to swallow a drop of COW broth. The
Brahmins, from the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, were very anxious
to comply with the wishes of the
government. The principal men
among them met at Kishnagur and
once at Calcutta, but after consulta-
tions and an examination of their
most ancient records they declared
to Lord Give that there was no
precedent to justify the act. They
found it impossible to restore the un-
fortunate man to his caste, and he
died soon after of broken heart
