A RARE CHANCE.
For Clever Invention and Financial
Reward,

We have said that "the inventress of
an unpickable pocket will achieve more
for her sex in a day and raise women
higher in the estimation Of their hus-
bands than all the advocates of female
suffrage have done in generation. 1t
must not only be unpickable, but also
easily get-ata- BILE; because there are al
ready dress pockets in existence SO con-
structed that their owners themselves
cannot reach their purses without
wrenching theirs skirts awry." We know
our duty and our limitations too we'll,
however. to pretend to dictate to that
mysterious power to which justice her.
self is compelled to sue. Far be it from
us to attempt to solve this prUdigiuus
problem, how a woman, may carry her
money and valuables without spelling
the looks of her dress. The word "pock
ct" is, of course, derived from poke"
which means bag or pouch, as when
we read he drew dial from his poke;"
and the term is used in Scotland to this
day. This recalls the wholesome fact
that the pocket used consists of Tag
tied under the skirt, access being had
to it by an orifee in the dress material
The fair ancestresses of the new wom-
an" wore also outside the garment a
"gipsire," or satchel, or carried their
purse in "chatelaine" now, we fear,
out of fashion entirely. In the East .the
comedy and convenient girdle supplies
all that is wanted as secure receptacle
for money, billets-doux. bon bons, and
private treasures; but in corset ridden
Europe we shall never get women to re-
turn to the "zone" and the obj" How
ever, the resources of feminine invention
in the region of costume are inexhausti-
BILE, and it is quite certain that fashion,
if she will can light upon some means of
providing her devotees with place to
deposit their purses and handkerchiefs
which shall not say to every thievlsh
eye, Come aud take mel" What it
would be we do not venture to coniec-
ture; wa content ourselves with respect
fully pointing out to the deity who is
the arbitress of costumes that her sister

LEANING ON THE BIBLE.
One of Col. Bill Morrison's Campaign Rem
iniscences.

Colonel William K. Morrison has
brought back to Washington good
"Reminiscences of the campaign in Illinois.
He was down in Congressmman Fithian' 8
district and was announced for speech
at a rather attractive place which bore
the extraordinary name of Oblong. The
meeting was TO be held in grove. The
voters had come in from all of the sur
rounding country, bringing their wives
and babies, and, as Col. Morrison de-
scribes il, there were acres of people.
Just before the meeting was to open a
storm broke. The wind blew and cold
rain swept through the grove. The
people gathered under such rude shelter
as they could patch up and shivered. 1t
looked as if the meeting would have to
be given up, when some one suggested
that the Baptist church might be had.
He readily agreed to the proposition, and
the crowd went over to the chucrh. AS
manysas could crowded into the build
ing. The women and children were
made comfortable. The men filed up
the spaces within hearing distance
around the windows and doors. And
then the meeting opened.
"There wasn't any pulpit" said Col.
Morrison, "but in place Of desk where
the pulpit would naturally be there were
three posts On the middle post was a
very large Bible. When I was intro
duced I stepped forward, and insmaking
my acknowledgements to the greeting |
stood just behind the center post and
over it. / don't know how I came to
say it, for / had no thought of it before
hand, but as l bent over the post said
just as it came to me on the moment.
Ladies' and gentlemen, l find myself
leaning on the Bible. l don't know hut
it would be a good deal better for them
and for the country il our public m en-
leaned more than they do upon the
Bible
"WelI there went up such shout -as
hadn't heard before, and didn't hear af-
forwards in the whole campaign. You'd
have thought .the roof of that Baptist
church was coming off. When the me t.
ing was over said to Fithian "'Did
you hear that? I don't feel quite SO
sure that things are all right for us as
/ did. 'n-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The change of the name of the New

England Free Trade League. is an I'M
proyement. What free trade means ev-
cry body knows, but the definition of tar
if reform depends good deal on the
section of the country and the notions
of the people who use it. With Mr.. Mills
and Mr.. Wilson, it is synonymous with
free trade, but with Mr.. German and Mr..
Murphy it means protection for the in
dustries in which their constituents are

else. People will understand just

Frse Coinage Democrats.

An Omaha dispatch Of June 2lst says
that large number Of representative
democrats from all over the state are
gathering here this morning in response
to call signed by 300 members Of the
party, with the object Of organizing free
coinage league for the purpose Of propa-
eating the double standard doctrine in
the democratic party, and enabling the
masses Of the party IN the state who
believe IN that doctrine to make their In
flnsnce felt. The convention will be
called to order at 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
The resolutions to be submitted will de.
clare, among other things, that the
question Of the restoration OF the double
standard OF gold aud silver as money OF
ultimate redemption and standard Of value
is now ono Of the foremost issues In the
minds OF the voters Of Nebraska, that
the change from the double TO the single
standard is, has been and will continue
to be, until reversed, n grievous wrong
to the people Of the United States, and
particularly to the people OF Nebraska,
that those who think this way have not
always been fairly represented on the
subject by the democratic convention Of
Nebraska, and that the time has come
when the welfare Of the party in this
state emphstically demands plain,
unequivocal statement OF the party on
the issue. II is expected that Con.
gressmen Bland and Bryan will address
the convention before it sdjourns, al.
though no definite word has been heard
on the suhj-ct.
One Thousand men from all parts Of
the state took part in the deliberations
OF the convention and Judge Ong, OF
Omaha, presided. In calling the con-
vention TO order he said that The hope
Of the country was bimetallism through
democracy and tina. it was hard to tell
whether profession or demonetiz alton
was the most injurious.
