An Era of Badges. From the Philadelphia Record.l

An Era of Badges.
 From the Philadelphia Record.l
 Even the most indifferent observers of their fellow promenaders along the streets of this city must have remarked the recent remarkable efflorescence of decorative badges. Where few years ago one man with an ornamented coat lapel would be encountered there are now at least ten, and manufacturers of badge-buttons, medals and other insig- mia of distinction were never kept so steadily at work. The fact that the dis tinction of having served in the Union army has become more prized as the veterans ranks have thinned does not account for the multiplicity of other badges having no relation to military service. These indicate a notable in- crease in the number of clubs, asso- citations and secret orders-some organ iZed purely for entertainment and oth- CTS for purposes of practical co-opera- tion

So ye, brave men of bravest days, Fought on and on with battered shield. Up bastian, rampant, till the rays Of full morn met yc on the field.

Worn victors, few and true, such clouds As track Gods trailing garments hem Where Shasta keeps, shall be your shrouds, And ye shall pass the stars in them.

THE REGIyTER,S MAIN yssUE.


 The Register continues to shed hy- pocritical tears over the imaginary loss of "the main issue" of the campaign In the Second congressional district. But in so shedding it casts discredit upon it's own sagacity and foresight. When the Register announced it's discovery of MT. Pigott's brains We paid little atten- tion to the announcement beyond won- dering why 1t was so pleased over a discovery which others had long ago made. But we see now that the Regis ter is entitled to the praise which be- longs to leader of public opinion and an inventor of political dodges. The "main issue" of the campaign in this district, so far as the Democrats are concerned, is and must be MT. Pigott's brains. They can't hold up tariff re- form as the main issue. The people of the district have had enought of that. The income tax isn't popular in this neighborhood. And Apaism is a regular boomerang issue. But MT. Pigott's brains will stand the racket. To be sure, he hasn't used them for the bene- fit of his district, and he has used them for the benefit of Canada, Russia, Bra gil, Cuba and other foreign countries. But he has a head full of them, all there is no doubt that brains are need ed at Washington.
 We congratulate the Register on its "main issue," and we take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that its sagacity and it's leadership are recog- nized in the great state of New York, where, as in the Second congressional district of Connecticut, tariff reform, the income tax and attempts to excite religious prejudice are not popular. The Democratic papers of that State have adopted the Registers main issue. They are laying great stress upon the won- drous brains of David B. Hill. How this issue will work in New York and Con- .lecticut remains to be seen. Brains compel admiration, but they do not al. ways beget confidence. And it may be that the people are tired of such daz- zling displays of intellectual fireworks as have been made by MT. Hill in his defense of Maynard and MT. Pigott in his defense of his attack upon the pros- perity of his district

PROSPERITY-HOWLING.

The Register fears that its dear old friend the Journal and Courier" will be misled by the Hon. John Wanamak- CT. We shall try to guard against being misled by him, and we shall also try not to be misled by the Register. We do not intend to be misled by the Dem- Register, in common with other Dem- ocratic newspapers, is making much of. As matter of fact these business boom fakes are manufactured in the Democratic headquarters, and are sent out over the country for the express purpose of deceiving and mislead ding the people. The reports of the banks and commercial agencies show that they nave very little basis of fact, and that business still halts, languishes and gives little hope for betterment in the imme- diate future. The Wilson. law, from which so much was hoped and prom ised, is getting in its work, but it is of a negative order, and the threats of the Democratic leaders that they have only commenced the work of tariff "re form" continues the uncertainty that has already worked such evil
 We do not. believe in what the Register calls "calamity howling," but unfortunately there isn't prosperity enough in sight to howl about. And If it is wicked for MT. Wanamaker to howl about actual calamity for political effect it is equally wicked for the Regis ter to howl about fictitious prosperity for political effect.

Surely it is abs surd to assume 1t as plebeian to sell tape by the piece. and not plebeian to sell 1t by the thousand pieces; to call il discreditable when fortune is made by il medicine. and not when it is made by hotel-keeping or laying water pipes or carrying on the express business. All these vacations and a thousand others equally modest and respectable. have contributed to the gliding of our jeunesse doree, and no one need be ashamed of any, one of them. except when 1t tempts him to sheer at some other.

 Mir. John D. Losekamp, of Billings.
 Mon. practically holds all the elk tooth stock of the entire country, and to his already enormous supply he is constantly adding. the Indians and hunters bringing teeth to him from all over the country. Not every one knows that the elk teeth, or rather the tusks of which two only are found In the mouth of the adult elk. have prac- tical commercial value. The teeth are used as jewelry, mostly as pendants on watch guards or as insignia of the secret society known as the Elks. The value of tooth ranges from fifty cents to two dollars and half, accord ing to its size, color and marking. MT. Losekamp has now over eighty-siX thousand elk teeth deposited in safety vaults. Many of the old Indian dresses were highly ornamented with elk teeth, some of them being fairly covered with the teeth. Mir Losekamp has lived on the frontier all his mature life, and un- derstands Indian trading perfectly, yet he has sometimes paid over one hun dred dollars for single garment thus ornamented, caring, of course, for noth- ing but the teeth. The Indians drill the teeth to fasten them on their dress es, and his does not injure the value of the tooth, but they have much worse habit of sometimes staining the teeth bright red. This dye cannot be ex- tracted, and depreciates the value of the elk tooth for white customer. The Indians do not dye the teeth so

The Future of Polite Society.

lAIo" D A0A0AsJ
 Dr. Lyman Abbott, in a late paper, thinks that polite society in the exclus- i've sense, is hardly destined to sus- tain itself. His reason is that wealth Is superseding birth at it's basis. In this respect. however, his inference Is doubtful, while his facts are true. He says that some communities, like Bos- ton, New York and Philadelphia, make a brave attempt to maintain respect for old families; but this is an inheri- tance from colonial days, and visibly wanes." He might have gone further and said that in only one of these three cities-Philadelphia-has the "smart set" any particular connection with old families or gives itself any concern about them. The utmost that 1t does is to draw a feeble line at the recog- nized occupations of fathers, while the occupation or social position of the grandfather is pretty thoroughly ig- nored. Given a fortune, with a reason able amount ofltact, and one genera- ton, at most two, can accomplish the rest. There is arIingeting r1lEaor tllAt at Newport. rich dealer an QNtsnt
