No Worse than American Ball
Rooms.

Kate Field has been visiting the
Midway Plaisance at the Worlds Fair
and expresses, with characteristic
vigor and plainness, her opinion of
one of the exhibits there that has
caused good deal Of discussion-the
dancing girls. A lot of people who
have seen the girls say the dance is
vulgar and obscene, because the girls
are nearly nude and comfort their
bodies, forgetting that in many Ameri-
can ball rooms it is the fashion for
women to expose far more Of their
bodies. "The Mid Orient" says Miss
Field, "confnes dancing to abdom-
inal gyration, marvellous as gymnas-
tics and absolutely impossible to wo-
men who have ever worn corsets.
Such development and control of ab-
dominal muscles are exhibited by the
dancing girls in Chicago Cairo would,
if possessed by American women, be
the salvation of the race. lnvalidism
would be impossible and children
would be born healthy. Other than
as gymnastics the danso du ventro has
no interest whatever. x . Vulgar
men and women who have set up q
howl against this performance would
do well to look around the American
ballroom and dinner table and dis
cover like food for prurient fancy. I
am quite sick of Comstockian mo-
rality."

JUDGE YE NOT. j"

Ye cull ia weeds aud poisons
Cropping fr0nl the human heart,
Holding up the faults aud foibles
Carping on the yiler parts;
Wrapped in self, and self SO loving,
That ys'have but hate to spare,
For the weakness of a nature
Made 50 frail that it can err.
Ye are killing all the beauty
That the sin and folly hide,
And are crushing out all the flower
With the cruelty of pride.
Ye are blotting out the luster
OF the jewels hid within,
That perhaps are brightly shining
Meath their covering of sin.
That which Christ has called the greatest
That without which all is dross;
Ye forgetting, cast your venom
Under shadow of the Cross.
Teach your heart some kindlier lesson,
Cleanse from sin the robes you wear
Judge ye not the lives of others,
Lest yourselves the Judgment share.

"For eight years, was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipa-

ton, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. l was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clocIK-yvork. AT the time
I began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; 1 now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be-
fore and after using, you would want
me for travelling advertisement.

to be the best in the market to-day"

CAND.DATE FOR A MUZZLE

There seems to be good ground for the
appellation "wild and woolly," as ap-
piled TO the Colorado end of the west at
least.
Gov. Waite was evidently designed
by nature for cowboy. BY some fatal
error he crept into the guber-
Material chair, but did not
leave off his cowboy habiliments. The
cdor Of the bro Dcho clings to him still
and he retains full franchise in the
picturesque vernacular with which the
famous cow-puncher is wont to illus
trate and decorate his humble Thoughts
His "cuss words" blossom out on every
occasion despite the dignity that ac-
companies tie high Office hs holds.
The Coloradians are doubtless used to
this sort of thing in governor. and
deem II no affront, but the refined por-
ton of the Americans are opposed to it
and will be greatly obliged to Governor
Waite if he will go out into the back
yard when he wants to swear
and not offend the ears Of the decent
people of America by bowling so loud
that he can be heard from Maine to
California.

ANOTHER CRANK NAILED.

The assassin OF Mayor Carter Har-
rison of Chicago has put his case before
the jury and the jury says that he has
none, that he is n plain, ordinary mur
derer and should be hanged 10y the neck
until dead. Few people have doubted
this outcome Of the famous trial
and fewer still will sympathze
with the murderer. The impression
has already obtained too much promi-
ncnce that man has simply to plead
insanity in order to license him 10 kill,
main, rob or commit other grave
crimes. The epidemic of cranlss will
receive saluiary setback at
the verdict in the Prendergast
casc 1t will be remembered
that there was decided falling off in
the number of assassinations by So
called "cranks" after the execution of
Guitoau. Cranks felt discouraged and
were for long time convinced that the
iron heel of tyranny was trampling on
their dearest and most sacred
rights, and that they had better
fight shy of it. The news of Prender-
gasts i'll luck will throw wet cloth
upon their ardor and will be followed
by another surcease of their PECULIAR
methods of achieving notoriety.
Crank assassination is not a success
on American SOL. IL failed in the
case OF Guiteau, IL failed
in the case OF Prendergas,,
and If there is any other crank who
thinks it won't fail in his case, too, let
him come along and try it. Americans
may not be up on all points of law, but
they know how TO deal with cranks who
arc burdcned with desire to shoot.

SILLY CRY OF CORRUpTIpN FUND

The New York Herald, one If the
most radical free trade papers in the
country, and whose owner rarely pays
America the compliment of visit,
has recklessly been charging that
the manufacturers of the country
were raising tremendous corrup-
tion fund to prevent the passage
of the Wilson bill. The folly of srch
a statement is perfectly apparent.
The sum Of 100000, 600 is the amount
Of money that the manufacturers are
supposed 10 have contributed to this
fund according to the Herald and pre-
sumably this amount of money has been
subscribed by manufacturers to
bribe congress, for congress alone has
the power to reject or accept the Will
son bill.
The Republican members would
naturally be opposed to the Wilson bill
and consequently money offered to them
TO oppose the Wilson bill would be
thrown away uselessly;so the 5000, 900, 900
would 60 to the Democrats and would
give To each Democrat about million
dollars. Ii is too much.
The Herald does not realize apparent
ly that in bringing such charge it
casts an uncalled for insult upon the
Democratic members Of congress by in
sinuatipg that they are purchasable.
The idle mills, the hungry working
men, the bankrupt railroads, the closed
banks, aud the walls OF distress heard
all over the land are what the trainers of
the Wilson bill have To fear. The Ill
legged corruption fund is unnecessary
for the Wilson bill is doomed without it.

4 YEAR OF FINANCIAL Rum.

The report for the year of X. G..
Dun & Co., in their weekly review of
trade, shows more plainly than an or
binary presentation Of the situation
would, the conditions which confront
the American people. The report is
one compiled bya business house which
acts in the capacity of a confidential
adviser TO nearly evegy business
house of reputation in the country.
1t is non-partisan report as
such house must necessarily issue, for
its patrons include people Of every shade
of political belief The report says
IS ariing with the largest trade ever
known, mills crowded with work and all
business stimulated by high hopes, the
year 1898 has proved, in sudden shrink
age OF trade in commercial disasters and
depression Of industries, the worst for 80
years. Whether the final results of the
panic of 1887 were relatively more Sc
we're, the scanty records of that time do
not clearly show. The year closes with
prices Of many products The lowest ever
known. with millions of workers seek
ing in vain for work, and with charity
laboring to keep back suffering and
starvation in all our cities.
All hope the new year may bring
brighter days, but the dying year leaves
only Il dismal record. The review Of
different departments of trade given to-
day exhibits a collapse of industry and
business which is almoss without pre-
cedent.
In 81 years covered by the records Of the
agency the number of failures has only
once risen little above 10, $50 in a year.
In 1898 the number reported has been
1860. The aggregate of liabilities in
all failures reported has in six years
risen above 100000, 600. This year the
strictly commercial liabilities alone
have exceeded 1891. 422, ,939 The liza
bilities of banking and financial insti-
tutions have been 500, 6,Sii. and the
liabilities of railroads placed i'm the

This shows what the threat OF abol-
ishing tho protective system will do.
What will become of us when tho
dread becomes reality IS hard TO con-
ceivc. We are told by Democratic
organs that the clo'ing down OF manu-
featuring industries is a bit of scn,i-
mental theairicals on the part Of the
protected manufacturer.
When such sentiment reaches the
thousands Of millions of dollars it is wcll
TO pay strict attention even to "scnti-

In view of this reduction Of the protec-
tive duty either the mills must close up
or the help must accept rates Of wages
that will enable their employers to
compete with the. foreign manufac-
turers.
The wages in Germany are somtifully
small that the government has taken
coenizance of it by assuming govern
mental supervision over eating houses
where food is furnished ut prices that
would not purchase the butter used at a
single meal on the table of an American
mill operative in his own home.

preparing the American operatives for
their future diet that "to hard work
