We took sharp issue in Sundays Times
with MIR. Cleveland's remarks in his inau-
gural address on the subject Of combina-
tions Of business for business purposes.
and the importance of the subject justi-
fees further discussion OF II. We are sur
prsed at the position Mr.. Cleveland takes
because IT is distinct intimation that
he would favor legislation directed to-
wards forcing a dissolution of business
combinations that men interested in the
businesses have formed.
Disguise II as you may, this would be
communism pure and simple II the prin-
ciple that property once lawfully acquired
may be attacked by legislation is tolerated
in the case OF what we call trusts" then
the sacredness of property is ended-the
outer walls are carried, and it is only a
question of time when legislation will run
its whole course and totally overthrow all
property rights. This is a case like that
Of the egg. where Resistance is all on the
outside. Penetrate the outer lines and
all is gone.
We say we are surprised that Mr..
Cleveland has announced a sympathy
with this proposition, because Mr.. Cleve-
land is a thorough and sincere Democrat.
and however much Democracy may be
derided for allying itself with the various
communistic isms that rise up from time
10 time. true Democracy ties itself TO the
sacredness Of property as firmly IT
does TO the liberty and equality before
the law of the citizens 1t is not Democ-
racy 10 make war upon private property
because II happens TO exist in the form
OF an agreement between a number OF
persons to do certain business in a GER
tain way.
The Times opposes any such proposition
not only as matter Of fundamental
principle and right, but on lines Of true
policy also. The Times believes that
when business is left TO itself 1t works
out by processes of evolution those
methods which are best for itself. and. in
working them out II is working out re-
suits best adapted to the needs of those
who are consumers OF what the business
offers. The reason OF this is that business
inevitably offers its wares at the lowest
price consistent with a profit to itself;
because, the cheaper 1t sells, the more it
will sell, and profit comes from large
sales at small prices rather than from
small sales at large prices This. too,
is under the correction Of vigilant eyes
always watching for opportunities 10
start connecting enterprises. As soon as
profits in any business whatever become
abnormally large there will inevitably
be formed competing combinations seek
ing 10 share In those profits. The law
maker should. therefore. keep his hand
OF and leave the subject to regulate
itself by the fixed and immutable laws of
trade.

THE LANGUAGE OF DENVER MONEY

Senator Teller stated in the Senate on
Friday last that the Denver Clearing AS
ISOLATION had offered to give TO the United
States Government million OF dollars
OF gold for a million OF dollars of Treas
ury notes, the Government to pay for
the transfer OF the gold 10 Washington
city. and the Dispatch thinks II is a case
Of money talks" as showing that "the
State OF Colorado has confidence in the
white metal"
How differently the same things affect
different minds. To our mind IL was in
tended to be a very shrewd business
transaction, or else 1t was a case OF the
ing Association had need OF a million Of
dollars in gold in New York city this was
a most excellent method for making the
Government pay the cost of transport

cause. as soon as IT got the million in
Treasury notes. IL could have taken them
20 New York and have then drawn a mill
lion Of dollars OF gold from the sub
Treasury for them. with which gold IL
could have accomplished the object for
which Il needed that sum in New York.
II. however. IT. was intended as a de-
claration OF Denver confidence in silver,
what a preposterous and contemplate
farce II was. To give the Government

What tho New York Papers Say OF the
Inaugural Address.

The New York Times says.
No one can read the clear and strong
words of Mr.. Clevelands address OF yes
terday without feeling that he has very
distinct idea OF the duty of his party as
well as of his own, and a very firm pur-
pose to hold his party TO Its duty as well
as TO perform his own. II is well worth
remembering, however, that. powerful as
is MIR Cleveland's personality and eff
cient as his leadership has been, the re-
markable career that he has already had,
and that to which he is now called under
such unusual conditions. would have been
closed to him had he not found adequate
support among the voters.
This fact is Of the highest promise. 1t
indicates a state OF public mind that
aueurs well for the country. IL has been
brought about by a long process of educa-
ton and amid great difficulties. There had
TO be overcome first, the intense and last
ing passions of the war. against which
Mr. Cleveland had ali the more to con-
tend because he has always been an
earnest and loyal Democrat. Then there
had TO be overcome the prejudices i'm
planted by nearly thirty years Of high
protective tariff and not merely the pre-
judices but the feelings aroused by per-
sonal interests fOstered by the operation
of that tariff. And. finally, a serious
obstacle in his pathway was the spoils
system. with its innumerable roots and
qualifications in every town, hamlet and
district OF the land. Here. IL will be
seen, was double array of distractions,
not only In the way OF the Democratic
party. hut in the way of Mir. Cleveland's
leadership in that party. They have all
been surmounted by the sheer force, on
the one hand, Of Mr. Cleveland's in
domitable honesty and unfiinchng, I'M
selfish courage. and on the other-let us
not forget it-by the American love of
those qualities and the American capac-
ity for political sense. 1t is on this basis
that the safety OF the country rests. Mr..
Cleveland will do his work and pass again
into private life. But the qualities OF the
American people that have enabled him
TO do that work SO far. and will enable
him to go on with it. will remain,
strengthened by his career and available
for the support Of other leaders who shall
equally deserve II.

The Low Necked Bodice Has Much to Do
with the Threats Curves.

The contour Of the neck depends great
deal upou the curve or line described by
the cut Of the low-necked bodice. Few
women present graceful curves from all
points Of view. Many women having
baby like fullness OF throat and smooth
ness OF chest are ugly over the
shoulders. For such the evening bodice
should set well upon the shoulders, letting
the arm line extend up over the shoulder,
rather than permitting the shoulder line
to be unbroken down on TO the arm. This
class Of figure Is also apt 10 have some
what hollow place just below the faulty
shoulder line in front. SO, for TWO rea-
sons, the "off shoulder cut is undesir-
able. The bodice should be cut almost
square at the sides. till well beyond the
ugly part If the figure below this is Wen
developed, the bodice may be cut low, ana
n little wider at the bust than at the
shoulders. The line across viii curve
down a little. Such "A cut in itself does
not describe a true or graceful curve.
Its excuse Is that by IL the best points OF
the particular figure IL displays are
emphasized and the defects concealed.
Properly speaking, such woman should
not wear low necked gowns. she should
only have them cut well away at the
throat and chest in a round baby style.
only the woman with well shaped neck
can wear bodice cut out according To
the lines Of beauty in themselves. And
only a neck Dared along lines beautiful
in themselves will give to the owner an
air of distinction instead Of undress. 1t
is thus not a question of how low gown
is cut that decides its modesty. A woman
with a beautifully modelled neck exposed
by dress open along harmonious lines
will look only thing of grace and

is especially liked this year. and the
small pattern OF the mervelleux under

delicate tule material OF the upper dress.
The tule skirt is edged with band Of
wide gupure lace and just above that an
insertion OF the same lace. In the centre
Of the back Of the skirt "A point Is cut out
for the small back folds. The shirring at
the upper edge must be very even, In
the front nat and on the hips and In the
back more full. The short basque is Of

the shirred tulle at the back. For the
bertha garniture two shirred crepe strips
respective one and half inches wide are
Joined from the inner side Of the part

silk lining would serve to make the
bertha more effective. The sleeve Is
finished by a narrow jet trimming A

the further usefulness it promises.
The World says;
The inaugural address OF President
Cleveland was worthy OF the man and
the occasion. Higher praise could not
be given. Less praise would fall short Of
justice.
The prevailing spirit OF the address is
that OF patriotism. In this IL is Ike the
paternai addresses Of Washington or the
earnest admonitions Of Lincoln. The ut
terances are those OF honest conviction.
The tone is that OF determined courage.
President Cleveland's warning against
the danger Of a degraded currency is
timely and earnest but free from any sug-
gestion Of alarm. His assurance that, 80
far as the executive branch Of the Gov
eminent can intervene, none OF the powers
with which II is invested will be withheld
when their exercise is deemed necessary
to maintain our national credit or avert
financial disaster" fully justiies the con-
hdence recently expressed in him by the
business men Of all parties.
The theory of Democracy as opposed TO
paternalism is tersely but convincingly
stated. 1t is, indeed. time TO remember
and enforce the truth that while the
people should periodically and cheer
fully support their Government, its func-
lions do not include the support OF the
people" It is the departure from this
rule, as the President points out, which
has brought us to the evils and wrongs
OF bounties and subsidies to favored
classes, to wild and reckless pension ex-
penditure" and to a demoralizng extrava-
gance in public appropriations. Mr..
Cleveland does not state 1t too strongly In
saying that under our scheme OF Gov
eminent the waste Of public money is a
crime against the citizen. There Is the
promise and potency Of many vetoes in
this sentence.
The Presidents reiteration OF his sound
Views upon the reform Of the civil SER
vice is one OF the most reassuring pas
sages in his address

Iltis . Mattey Ulgt1g@ Attention,

The season isnow at hand when the
consumption of Ice is quite large, and
when that article is not only q luxury
but in many cases u necessity and en-
tiers the homes OF the poor as well as the
rich.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
getting ice that is absolutely pure IN
every particular. Ice that is taken from
stagnant ponds contain the germs Of
disease and Is dangerous 10 the health
OF the consumers. Artificial ice when
properly made is free from all impuri-
ties.
In the cholera epidemic in New York
last year the most prominent Physicians
recommended the use OF artificial ice as
il is devoid Of all elements of danger
aud none but pure water was allowed
10 be used. Ice inspectors are being
Appointed in the larger cities OF the
country, and all the ice taken from
ponds that are stagnated and impreg-
mated with Impurities, is condemned
aud its sale prohibited. Its the duty
oil the health officers to look into this
n after and see that no impure ice is
sold. We do not want cholera epi-
demic here this summer.
These few opening remarks We're sug-
gested to us by visit to the plant of the
Parkersburg Ice Company, one oil the
solid enterprises of the city and a good
sanitary agent in point OF the purity Of
its output
