Superlative Infamy.
M. M. FOLSOM.

Before the House passes any bank
ruptcy bill whatever, it should strike
out of it every provision for fore
ing debtors into involuntary bank
ruptcy.
The contraction of the currency in
presence of enormously increasing pos
sibilities of production through the in
crease of machinery forces every one
who would carry on business at all, to
go in debt himself and to give credit to
others.
Now. it is proposed that the retail
merchant, who has given credit to peo-
pie who can and will pay as soon as
the money is allowed to come from
New York to clear crop accounts, may
be swooped down on at any time and
utterly ruined by being forced into in
voluntary bankruptcy because of his
inability to make sudden collections.
His good name and credit are thus
more at the mercy of the extortioner,
for the more unwilling he is to be de-
clared bankrupt; the more anxious
he is to preserve his credit, the more
wholly will he be in the power of
rascally creditor who has taken ad-
vantage of him and his threatening to
drive him into the United States courts
and ruin him.
Could anything be more infamous
than this?
That question might go in unan-
swered but for the fact that Oates of
Alabama is advocating arrest for debt
to make the infamy superlative.
"Now that you have demonetized sill
ver," said Congressman benson of Ala
bama on the floor of the House Tues
dav, "you propose to inaugerate the
reign of the auctioneer's hammer to
your work.
That would be enough were it all.
But what can we say when a man like
Oates deliberately demands in the name
Of the alliance of Tories and Pluto
Gratis that the bodies of American citi-
zens, guilty only of the "cr1me" of
poverty, should be seized by the United |
States Marshal and held in pawn for

Very Radical Reformers.

The members of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, of Osceola,
Neb., are not going to stand any non
sense. If they cannot promote the
temperance and social purity in any
other way, they will buckle on their
armor and hurt somebody's feelings.
Last week these reformers appointed
committee to deal with some young
girls whose scandalous conduct has at
tracted their attention. The ladies OF
the committee disguised themselves as
white caps, decoyed the girls into a
grove and then gave them fiogging.
Eleven of the ladies were arrested
and lodged in the county jail, and it is
said that they will be vigorously pros
ecuted by their victims. AS the pris-
oners belong to the better class OF
society the case promises to stir up a
good deal of interest.
On a somewhat different line num-
ber of the delegates to the Woman's
Christian Temperance congress at
Chicago, have been equipping them
selves for their missionary work.
Eight of these ladies escorted by two
detectives, paid midnight visit to the
most notorious dives of the city.
Their appearance at one place caused
such CONSERVATION that every man fled
from the house, with the exception of
one who was too boozy to travel. This
man insisted upon dancing with one of
the lady visitors, but was finally
squelched by the officers.
Miss Mollie Hay, one of the party,
declares that the ladies were so much
shocked by what they saw and heard
that they will not recover for some
time. Few of them were able to sleep
when they returned to their hotels,
but they all agree that their experience
in the slums gave them valuable point
ers which they will be able to utilize in
their crusade for social purity.
These noble martyrs who are willing
to fog their erring sisters and suffer
the penalty in Jail, and these other
stern reformers who submit to be
shocked, and hunt up the shock, will
get their reward in due time. Social
purity is bound to come when bands of
sanity women go Summing in Chicago
in search of information, and try the
virtue of white cap lynch law in Ne
Nebraska. Constitution.

Now the hills are turning yellow and
the brown is on the corn;
There's a melody that's mellow in the
music of the horn,
And the sassafras is blazing and the
sumach all aglow
Where the old bell cow is grazing on
the fallows down below,
And the pea vines gladly rustic where
the soft winds are at play,
And the young quail chirp and hustle,
growing plumper every day;
And that cunning old suborner in the
bushes to the right,
Perched upon the low fence corner,
whistles

What can we say; what can any
American say that will be sufficient
condemnation of this infamy; of this
villiany?
The man who can stand on the floor
of the American Congress and recon-
mend the adoption of such measure
is degraded indeed. He deserves the
deepest detestation of all Americans;
the scorn of all honest men and lovers
of right and justice. He is a traitor to
his country and to mankind; fore
sworn wretch whose name as it sur
wives in connection with such a meas
ure will be kept alive only by the in
fanny which attaches to all who would
betray, degrade and enslave their fell
lows.-St. Louis Chronicle.

waist to the right as far as possible,
and then back to the upright position
again and over to the left.
This calls into play the muscles OF
the waist and sides, weakened. from
long confinement in cOrsets, and was
given early to strengthen the waists OF
the ladies who had been persuaded to
cast aside their corsets, and teaches
the muscles to properly support the
upper portion of the body unassisted.
They were taught, also, how to stand
properly and to walk and sit graceful
ly as well as correctly.
The pose calls for the head to be
erect, the hips thrown a little back
ward, the chest forward, the shoulder
blades nearly touching, and the weight
of the body thrown well forward on the
balls of the feet. In such a pose near
the wall of room the back of the
head and the hips would touch, but not
the shoulders.
The correct walk is said by the
the teacher to be the hardest to learn.
1t calls for leg movements from the
hip, not the knee, and equality in the
length of the steps. The weight is
still on the ball of the foot first, and
then along the rest of the sole.
The exercises include the proper
method of wiggling the third joint of
the fingers and toes, the proper mo-
tions of the foot, the ankle, knee, hip,
shoulders, neck, elbows, wrist. In
fact, every joint and muscle in the body
must be developed and cultured.
Then there is the devitalizing exer-
else. Beginning with the joints OF the
fingers, and running through the whole
frame, vitality and will power is with
drawn until the body almost collapses
as if in faint. Thus alone is proper
rest obtainable in physical culture.
The whole idea is this: The body
is the instrument of the soul, and there
cannot be proper expression in thought
and feeling unless the body is taught
to obey the dictates of the mind. Any
emotion of the soul or mind calls forth
movement and expression not alone in
the face and eyes. but in the arms,
legs, and whole body. And, of course,
there is reflex action from the body
to the soul and mind. Physical cul-
ture has ripened and developed the
forms of those who could afford the
lessons albany argus.

Texas Democrats.

Webb Flanagan, the indicted Repub-
lican collector of customs at Ell PasO,
Texas, rendered his resignation som 9
time ago, but it was not acted upon,
and now he has petitioned the president
to remove him from Office. Certainly
Mr.. Cleveland cannot delay giving this
Office to a Democrat much longer.
When Republican official is found
willing to resign, and even petitions to
be removed from Office, we do not see
how Mr.. Cleveland can possibly be ac-
cused of violating the civil service laws
by appointing some man who voted the
Democratic ticket to the Office. We
believe there are Democrats in Texas
who are quite as worthy Of holding Of
fee as is Mr.. Edward J. Van Allen, who
was lately confirmed ambassador to
Italy. True, it is not customary for q
Texas Democrat to wait until he is AZ
years old before he casts his first ballot.
But the Texas Democrats are not all
sons-in-law to the Astor family, and
they have not had the advantage of q
long residence in London. It IL not
not the custom yet IN Texas for Demo-
Gratis to roll up their breeches legs
when it rains in London.
So we hold that allowances should
be made for the Texas Democrats.
They have peculiar ideas of their own
and one of them is that when q young
man reaches the age OF twenty-one
years he should go to the polls and vote
the Democratic ticket. They have not
yet learned that it is the proper thing
to wait until one has reached the age
of AZ years before casting q ballot. It
is to be hoped that these considerations
may be carefully weighed and that
some Democrat may be found in Texas
who is worthy to succeed an indicted
office-holder. - Jefferson I

The Women Reformers of Albany.

In 1889 the first meeting was held in
the Madison Avenue Reformed
Church.
The leaders devoted themselves first
to bringing about few changes in the
ordinary dress of their kind. The
corset was attacked severely and dis
carded by many.
One of the lecturers brought here
by the society in Its campaign of edu-
cation took up the cause of the divid-
ed skirt instead of the heavy and i'm
peding underskirt commonly worn, and
a large percentage of the ladies of the
club and some outsiders wear the di-
vided bloomer garment.
After the dress reform movement
was we'll under way the question of
physical culture was taken up.
The association never mixed in too
much of the psyche side of physical
culture. They were content to regu-
late and develop their physique in that
way, dut when it came to their mind
and soul they desired other instruc-
Tors.
The society, therefore, has not med
iled with souls particularly, their time
being devoted entirely to striving to
reach the Venus proportions pointed
put as their Mecca. These proportions
are about as follows: Tho height should
be about feet and or 6; weight, 1870
70 160 pounds; waist, "a to 80 inches;
oust. 81 to 40 inches; hips, 40 to 43
inches; neck twice as much the wrist,
tho waist twice as much as the neck.

A Brief Rectlfcation.

Our able Republican contemporary,
the Globe Democrat of st. Louis, pro-
| poses to correct what it calls a very
| incorrect statement of a memorable
incident of the war; and here is the
| version which it sets forth by way of
| improvement:
..It was at the final march and review
of Union Troops in Washington sue
ceeding the surrender of Lee. The
President and his Cabinet were on the
grand stand, and Gen. Sherman stop
ped and dismounted to pay his respects.
Secretary Stanton, like his associates,
proffered his hand to the General, who,
however, passed on without noticing
either the hand or its owner. But
Gen. Sherman did not then, or at any
other time, tell Stanton that he was
'.nothing but id clerk He used
this language afterward in speaking of,
but not to, Stanton with another party
to whom he was relating the cause of
his Goodness" toward Stanton, which
was the latter's conduct in counter
manding orders issued by Sherman to
the army in North Carolina"
This is not the truth. We were
present on that stand Immediately be-
hind Mr.. Stanton, and heard and saw
everything that happened there; while
to all the circumstances relating to
Gen. Sherman we paid the most care
full attention. Nothing theatrical oc-
CURED, and there was no manifestation
of excitement on either side. When
Gen. Sherman approached, Mr.. Stan
ton did not offer his hand or make any
movement to offer it. He did not look
particularly at Gen. Sherman nor speak
to him, and Sherman had no opportuni-
ty of repelling any advance in word or
gesture. AS Sherman passed along In |
front of him, Mr.. Stanton neither |
opened his lips, nor smiled, nor in any |
way departed from the entire tranquil
ity of his attitude, except to make a
briet and impersonal forward move
ment of his head, approaching bow,
in recognition of the passage of a gen.
eral officer with other officers attend
ing him. That was all.
So many untrue reports have been
aAoat respecting this incident, that it
is duty to history to record the exact
truth. " Y. San.

Our Jubilant Republicans Friends.

When the extra session was called,
our Republican contemporaries loudly
proclaimed that Mr.. Cleveland could
not obtain unconditional repeal with
out the support of the Republicans in
congress. They declared that the
Democratic majority favored free sill
yer coinage, and that the silver re-
pealers on that side were half-hearted
and inactive.
This cry was continued all through
the session, but assurances were given
that the president would have Repub-

It Must 60.

Mr.. Mckinley continues TO preach
the doctrine Of high protection in
Ohio with as much abandon as to
facts as if his party had not met, last
year, the most crushing defeat in its
history on the line he is now following.
The people are not ready to reverse
that verdict. IfMcKinley is reelected
governor of Ohio his reelection will
not be owing to any change In the opin-
ion of the country generally on the de-
lusion of which he is the chief prophet
and apostle. Protection was con-
demned after years of thorough and
exhaustive investigation and argument,
in the beginning Of which it was strong
ly sustained by popular prejudice. It
was condemned as the oppressor OF the
poor and the instrumentality of the
rich for their greater enrichment. Its
enormities OF taxation upon the con-
sumner were proved more clearly than
ever before in the operation of the law
which bears Mr.. McKinley's name.
And in the fire and smoke of the Pinker-
ton guns at Homestead the American
workingman saw, at last. that protec-
tion, for him, was fraud and sham.
Let Mr.. Mckinley continue to fire
exploded cartridges and maneuver on
old battlefields. He may win re-elec-
tion on lines of old party prejudice,
pei sonal popularity and factional di-
visions in the Ohio Democracy. But
the national Democratic party will not
be thrown into panic by his success, Il
he is successful. It will retain -its
principles. It will hold fast TO the
doctrine that the law-makirg power
shall not be used for the benefit OF the
few to the injury OF the many. Il will
discharge the great trust committed to
it by the people.
The Mckinley law must go.-6.

slscan sympathy and aid. Now, that
the fight is over, the Republican or
gans are jubilant. They claim uncon-
ditional repeal as q Republican victo-
ry under the leadership of John Sher-
man.
All this boasting is unnecessary. No
body denies the claim that the Repuli.
cans have won remarkable victory.
It is q well-knoWn fact, fresh in the
public mind. that . majority Of DEM
ocrats in both houses favored and voted
for the repeal of the Sherman law by
the substitution of the Bland-Allison
act for the Wilson bill in the house.
and the Voorhees, bill in the senate.
Yet, Notwithstanding this situation, the
Republicans drew to their support q
sufficient number of Democrats to fin-
ally secure the passage of uncondition-
al repeal. ami in all the movements
leading to this result John Sherman
was confessedly the controlling factor.
Let the Republicans make the most
OF their victory. In no sense can it DO
