For Those I'm Mourning.

Visits Of coincidence are made a week
after the funeral. a card is left and
no effort is made to see those who are

asked me If II Is proper to send invita-

OF course one would not do this until a
month had passed, but after that time It
is quite proper. and certainly our friends

The human body IS the most beautiful
OF created objects. II is strong. delicate.

eminently 10 the female form. but while

way God made the trees. flowers and an
FINALS. she Is cot satisfied with the way
he made her body, so she seeks TO i'm
prove perfection.
She trusts God 70 shape nd plan the
universe, but not her body. for while
he put a sufficient number Of bones in
side her body TO hold it erect she for
sooth must supplement them with A
layer OF bones outside to change and
Improve the outside Of the figure. So
we have that abomination known as the
corset.
History tells us that as nations have
grown wealthy and extravagant. the
people giving themselves up to excuses
OF all kinds. the corset has been laced
tight and even tighter as the climax Of
frivolity approached. The consumption
of corsets in America, not including
those imported, is said to be $4,000 year
". What does this argue for the state
of morals in our country 1t is said
THAT national dress keeps pace with ma
Iional history. Both begin in simplicity
and end in voluptuOusness.
Tight lacing has been one Of the high
water marks of the self-indulgent period.
t The body when incased in stiff bones or
! tight lacing of any kind. is incapable of
graceful motion, healthful exercise and
ability TO perform the work of life.

If your horses, cattle and dogs were

tiOn of cruelty to animals would be on
the tracks of the guilty parties. But
why should women exhaust their vitali-
~ by injurious modes of dressing? "Oh,
it's the fashion, comes the reply.
But what is fashion that her laws
should be Obeyed in defiance of all the
laws of beauty. fitness, true grace and

shall wear a hump at her back wide
oripoline skirts trailing in the dust or a
waist like a wasp, there seems to be no
resistance. The plates and fashion pa
pers Of the day represent only carica-
lures of the female form.
The corset curse among women is
more insidiOus than the drink curse
among men. Both sins seek TO eXtenu-

with a corset than a drunkard with a

Still 1t Does Not Come.

Prosperity does not come to US, and
improvement in our system and our laws
and customs does not mRterislize. We
have changed our administration, and
still we are struggling with adversely.
We repealed the silver law, but business
Is still depressed. We burned up our
greenbacks, but the land is filed with
the unemployed and the starving. We
are on the verge of reduction Of the
tariff, but the night is still dark and the
morning does not begin to dawn. Yet
upon every one Of these things we were
told that we could depend for the COM
ing of better times. It looks now, iudg-
ing from some Of the recent elections, as
il the country was going pell NELL back
to the other party, and il we restore that
to power we shall have everything pre-
cisely as it is at present, except that we
shall have high tariff and the annexs-
tion Of Hawaii, with its fat queen, lep-
rosy, Spreckles and heathenism in the
bargain. Except as indicated, there
would be no change, barring q change Of
postmasters and o6her officers. It's pol
itics OF q postmaster will not make the
price of wheat higher, the interest on
the mortgage lower, or dollars more
plenty. In the ordinary affairs Of life
when q course OF procedure fails, we re-
sort to some other course. In politics
We stick right in the old rut, although
We have never found what we wanted in
it or near it. Every party has enough
good men in it to shape its policy Alright
and to elect proper men to office, but
they permit the politicians to deceive
them and to run the party to suit them
selves. Either force your party to do
what it should do or leave it. That is
common sense that will commend itself
to anybody who is not q partisan leader
and tax eater.-Farmers' Voice, March 8.

And we have repeated testimony of it's

No man would be treated deCently who
would announce and maintain such SEN

would curl and a sneer proceed from

within the limits Of that great financial

We all remember how General Grant
was received on the Pacific coast upon
his return from abroad as a third term
candidate and by the imprudsnt sprigs
Of a gilded sristoCracy (the Spreckles',
the Sharon's, etc., greeted as our future
emperor. And how the New York Trib-

masses would rebuke it as it deserved.

PEUTOCRACY GROWING BOLD.
The BlgOtry, intolerance and Tyranny Of the
Millionaire and Monetary Glass.

EDITOR ADVOCATE:-Thlngs are work
ing; and the plutoCraCy are waxing bold
with their successes and insolent in their
demesnor; as witness the scene at the
recent grand banquet at the New York
chamber Of commerce to celebrate the
surrender Of our financial legislation to
foreign domination, when the Rev. Mr..
Patton, q doctor OF divinity, Of Princeton
college, in his address on Enlightened
Opinion and Government by the People,"
struck an unrespOnsive chord by deClar-
ing patriotism here as something purely
American and distinct from the ideas
and policy Of England and the Old
World, stc. At this the audience showed
such degree Of restlessness and dissat-
isRaction that the reverend gentleman
had literally to beg it to bear with him
even though it didn't sympsthizs with
the tone and spirit Of his remarks. The
untutored professor made the mistake in
supposing he was addressing an unsO-
phisticsted American audience who
were hungering and thirsting for purely
American sentiments. But not much
were they on purely American senti-
ments. He was in the wrong crowd for
such talk. That is confined to the plain
people, Rs Mr.. Lincoln denomlnsted the
masses. He had encountered an Eng
liah sentiment that wouldn't tolerate
such old-fashioned, thread-bsre plRti-
tudes to RntBgonize the spirit Of the
occasion. In q word, they didn't want
his purely American patriotism to inter
fere with their English rejoicing. Ameri-
can patriotism was at q discount there.
And Of such (reader) are the rulers Of
this country, Of either Of the two old
parties, Fear, though have been slow
and reluctant to come to such o conClu-
sion, confess. For Carlisle, secretary
Of the treasury, was at the banquet
above referred to, and his address evi-
IDENTIFY struck a responsive chord, Rs his
policy is all that that element have de-
manded OF him and the government. So
that we may set it down that those to
whom we have consigned the great in
terests Of the country, by adopting the
English financial system, "do not hesi-
tate to publicly rebuke, scof and sneer
Rt that patriotic American sentiment
that patriotism is loyalty to America
first and last; and an American scholar
and orator has to beg Of them to bear
with hiEn while he announces 1t in their
presence"
Another banquet was held at about
the same time in the city, that Of the
sons Of the south in New York, at which
Abraham s. Hewett, q millionaire, and
Il ann sorry to say son-in-lsw Of Peter
Cooper Of hsllowed memory, held forth;
and his sentiments were directly and ab-
sOiutely right in the teeth Of those Of his
venerated father-in.lsw, and, therefore,
ss base slander on the memory Of the
latter as they were on those to whom
they were directed. He waxsd wroth
over the financial policy Of the south and
west and was especially rabid on silver
and over the Bland bill for the coinage
Of the seignorage in the treasury. Let

Charley and the Supervisor could
scarcely contain themselves when he
snapped up three or four grains of corn
with lightning like rapidity. He ap
peared to like it, for in the next few
minutes he gobbled increasingly. Then
he stopped suddenly, raised his head
and appeared to reflect. He next drew
one foot up to his chest and put it
slowly back to the earth again. He
did this several times, blinking his
eyes in a surprised way.

ENTIRELY OVERCOME.
The big blackcrow suddenly stretched
out his wing like a pair of arms aAd
begun rolling up and down the PLATEAU
with a Sullivanesque swagger. The
more he strutted the wilder his mood
became, until his caws rang out upon
the air like the jargon from a padded
cell. His companions, alarmed by his
cries, returned and circled about him
with a great rust,ing of wing, but did
not alight. 1t was evident they dis
trusted his manners.
The Supervisor said yesterday that
in all his experience he never beheld q
more abandoned case of ''jag."
1T was really awful, =" said he, Ito
see that black ruf1an misbehave him-
self. He staggered about like a sailor
on shore leave and finally tumbled in
a.heap beside his caps. Charley and T
rushed out and grabbed him, but he
was too far gone to do more than roll
his eyes at us, as much as to say:
Don't lock me up Judge"
The friends are vey much elated over
the success Of their experiment and
propose trying itagain soon. The next
time they will select the early mora
ing and Harris Island for an arena.
Mr.. Hyatt says that the crows gather
in great docks about the garbage heaps
at the remote end of the Island. Charley
Burge is busy preparing a fresh batch
of corn and this time he is using fusil
oil. He does not know but what he
will build a prison for the ~incarcera-
ton of intoxicated crows and when he
gets all the cells full he thinks of trying
the gold cure in those cases which
seem to demand an heroic remedy.
