CrinOline to Be or Not to Be.

Mr.. George NJ. Becker, Democratic
member from Hennepin county, in which
Minneapolis is situated, caused sensa-
ton in the Minnesota Legislature, on
February Bird, by introducing a bill pro-
hlbiting the manufacture Or sale OF erin
oline. The bill in full is as follows:
SEC. lit shall be unlawful for any per-
son to manufacture or sell, or to offer for
sale or use, or permit to manufacture. sale
or use of any hOOpskirt or hOopskirts, or
anything like thereunto, within the limits
of Minnesota.
SEC, I-Any person violating this act,
or in any way assisting the violation Of
any provision of this act shall be punished
by fine OF not less than S. nor more than
$25 for each offense, and shall be impris-
oned in the county Jail for period not ex-
ceeding thirty days.
The vexed controversy concerning the
crinoline, which has been raging in the
papers of late, is due to the dearth of
fashion news rather than to actual facts.
While newspaper fashion writer's have
busted themselves discussing the appall-
ing consequences Of the revival of the
hoOpskirt in Paris, and whilst the influ-
ence OF the Princess of Wales has been
appealed to to stand as barrier against
tins coming threatening event, the lead
ing dress making houses of the French
capital have not yet made single crino-
line for any of their customers. All there
is to be said on the subject is that the
several petty novel models of skirts COM
ing from Paris are as general rule fat
around the waist with considerable full
ness around the bottom. In order to
thoroughly comprehend the actual tend
ency OF fashion and to get reliable infor-
nation as to the best way of securing
fine models of these stylish skirts, one
must consult the Mcdowell fashion mag
azines: La Mode de Paris and Paris Album
Of Fashion are invaluable to dress makers

copy. The French Dressmaker, $500 per
year, or 80 cents per copy, is noted for
its practical styles. La Mode, $1.5O a

The old proverb, The farmer must
feed them ALL" is true in an important
sense, but it does not justify the dema-
gogic appeals made to class prejudice
by some. In the distribution of labor
some are farmers, some merchants,
some manufacturers. ETC.. and they are
co-workers, not rivals. Smith raises
corn and sells it to Jones because it is
to his interest to do SO. Jones is a
merchant for the same reason. Glass
prejudice is wrong. Let us remember
that we are not rivals. but co-workers.
There should be no conflict between
the farmer, the warehouseman and the
manufacturer. They simply work in
different departments Of the same in
dustry. Away with the foolish notion
that there is conflict between town
and country. IFebster's Weekly.

Butler and the Spoons.

One of the best stories told of G en-.
Il. f. Butler was about his experience,
while the Democratic candidate for
governor of Massachusetts. At one of
the meetings, while he was speaking, a
fellow cried out in loud voice "Gen-
eral Butler, tell us something about
those spoons you stole in New Or
leans - The general replied by say
inc he would tell him all about it when
he got through, and went on with his
speech. When he ceased speaking
and was gathering up his notes and
papers preparatory to leaving the
stand without making the explanation
asked for, the same peremptory tone
demanded an explanation as to those
''stolen spoons ''Ah, yes,' re-
sponded the general. The matter
had escaped my memory" Then in
his most persuasive tones he innocently
inquired: Are you a Republican, my
friend: = Il ann rejoined the other,
land | am proud of it, $50 was -
sharply retorted the general, '.when l
stole those spoons,' and turning
about he left the stand amid such a
storm of laughter and applause never
heard before in that hall.

THE report was circulated few
days ago that Mr. Cleveland had said
he would not appoint to office any
person connected with a newspaper.
This created Juror among some of
the editors. But Mr. Cleveland in
language that could not be msunder-
stood most emphatically denied the
report. Yet some papers we notice
entirely ignore this fact and persist in
heaplng censure upon him, producing
one scathing editorial after another in
venting this spleen simply because they
are not we'll pleased with his every
act. We don't like to see this. Presi-
dent Cleveland no doubt knows what
he is doing, and it would be far better
to wait and see the result of his work
before he IS too severely criticised.

Gentle and indulgent reader, mind,
while l know you have thoughtfully
pondered what have so truly been pro-

That give the heart the sweetest token
That make the Heaven sweet above YOU
Are simply, sweetly these: " l love you !''

Gresham as Secretary of State because
of the existing doubt as to his politi-

criticisms for awhile without they have
greater cause for Censure.
