Credit to Whom Credit Is Due.

Credit to Whom Credit Is Due.
 Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Kindly allsw me to rectify a mistake of "A Lover of Good Things" in your Fri days paper.
 It is, indeed, quite tims that this matter of singing college songs at our church en- tertainments should be taken in hand. Many of these songs are positively vulgar, the majority of them are senseless, and is not it, to say the least, little out of place to sing drinking song in a chapel or the parlors of church. Yet the college boys can hardly be blamed for their offense. These objectionable songs are warmly sp- plauded and encored. If tue people de- mand that sort of thing they have only themselves to blame for the evil that en- sues. Another thing that seems to me productive of great harm is a certain style of recitation of which our young elocutionists seem to be particu- larly fond. refer to the story of the "bad boy" or "bad girl" as told by themselves. These children who in real life would simply be intolerable nuisancee, relate their story of what they have done and said, cruel deeds, insulting acts and impertinent words, in 8 manner that makes the whole thing appear only smart and funny, and brings shrieks of laughter from the children in the audi ence. What are we doing then but actu- ally giving these little ones lessons in bad manners apd wickedness. Now to correct the mistake of which spoke. The enter tainment of which Ca lover of good things'' speaks was given at the City Mis- sions on Monday night, and by the ladies at work with the children every Saturday afternoon. We certainly had feast of good things there and the warm expres- sions of pleasure that have come to us from all sides tell how great was the en- joyment given to our people. The admit tance fee of ten cents put 1t within the reach of all, and the hall was filled to oveIflowing. Our children who took part in the pretty little Gypey Festival did great credit to them selves and to us, and the recitations of Miss Kay, the singing of Miss Ward and the piano playing of Mrs. Jones and Miss Spsrry was treat to be long remembered. The closing hymn, 'Nearer My God to Thee" was most beautifully illustrated, and in the closing stanza when Miss Wards magnificent voice rang out with the glori- | ous burst of melody, the hush that fell upon the audience told that the care worn hearts of many whose lives were full oi | troubles and anxieties, had been lifted up ward for time at least, above the sorrow | of earth.

rubbing of the skirts, they are when in perfect condition just the things.
 Many really graceful women have not lndulged in the spreading skirts for any but street wear. A beautiful proof of this Is gown in gray satin made with a simply trained and gracefully clinging skirt with no suspicion even of crinoline, organ pipe folds, stiffening or flare any where. The bodice is equally simple, deep founcss of yellow lace being set low on the shoulders and offering the only point of concession to ther prevailing mode. Appliques in 1eaf shaps of gold embroidery are made on the skirt along such lines as will incrssse the general clinging and slender effect, and deep fringing of gold beads falling from the leaf shapes still further emphasize the eff feet. The wearer of this dress was an ex- quisite figure of delicate womanly beauty, and few of her observers stopped to real ize that the beautiful gown producing the effect was distinctly not in fashion.

THE LADY OR THE COURT.

As woman makes her wonderful way toward the stars she will, of courae, give rise to great many inter ssting and im- portant questions. Before she began her rise the situation was pretty we'll settled in favor of Man, at least in theory and in name. Man was t'ths lord of creatiop," and he was os,ensibly the boss in his own house. Of course this wasn't the prevail ing condition, but 1t was the theory. This theory was recognized both in the gospel and the law. Now, however, a change is rapidly going on. It has been pretty we'll proved that the gospel is defective in it's directions to women and wives, and the women and wives are at work at the law 60 as to make it harmonizs with the re- vised gospel. The improvement of the law will be a somewhat slow and difficult process, but 1t will ultimately be accom- plished by the we'll directed effort that Is now being made and that will continue until there is no longer any need of 1t.
 AS in all great onward movements there are some who get Q little ahead of the rest of the procession in a rather premature way, so is it in the movement which Is to make of Woman not only the superior of Man in fact, out also his bibli- cal and legal boss. One of these nasty pioneers has made her appearance in Mis- souri, State which has lately become quite hospitable to progress, even to the | 1& al1 Do--h1{no-e k1 live and vote in it. This eager Missouri woman has raised a question which it would perhaps have been wieer not to raise just at this stage of the proceedings. She has husband, and her husband was summoned to do jury duty. He did not sppear at the appointed time, and he was brought before the court that summoned him for contempt. He was ssk ed what
 he had to cay for himself, and
 he replied that he had the choice
 between contempt of court and contempt
 of his wife, and he chose contempt of cour,
 with the idea that the court would be more
 merciful in dealing with him than his wifi, would bs if he should dare to show con
 tempt of her by obeying court order whel she didn't want to have him.
 This incident is significant and premon
 itory. It Is also premature. Itis too 500,
 for Woman to show open contempt of th
 courts of the land. The law is still msr
 made and the courts are still manned. Sh
 will do better to "jolly" things along unti
 she can change the laws and put wome,
 on the bench. She shou1dn't now rais
 sny such question as this Missouri woman fh<s raised.

NOT A DEMOCRAT NOW.

NOT A DEMOCRAT NOW.
 If there is anything which Senator David Bennett Hill! has had credit for 1t is for being a Democrat. When the Cleveland idol was on It's pedestal, and when all the mugwumps and some Democrats were humbly and reverently knesling before it Brother Hill stood outside the servile thropg and in tones which resounded from Maine to California proudly said, "I am a Democrat" His assertion went, and whatever else he has been said or thought not to be he has bsen accepted as a Demo- crat. But the other day he stood up in his place in the Senate and in his capacity of senator from the great State of New York and in his own capacity as @ judge of principles and affairs, he made speech which, like his assertion concerning his Democracy, was also heard from Maine to California. In that speech he revealed a noble mental quality with which he has not been credited. In that speech he was not the narrow and tricky politician which he has been generally thought to bs. He rose high above party and politics and showed himself patriot and statesman. He stood up manfully for American indus- tries, for sound and honest fnanciering and for just and proper taxation.
 But now that Senator Hill has shown himself capable of being patriot and @ statesman the question has been raised, Is he Democrat? There was no such quss- ton when he was apparently acquiescing in the ruinous policy which has been labelled Democratic. Now he is told that he can't possibly be Democrat. The New York World tells him so. Governor StoEe of Missouri says SO, and says 1t in this way: "I am ..Jacksonian Democrat of the old school and believe that the wish of the people expressed in convention is the par ty's only law. Hiil losses aside the nation al platform, repudistes the tariff reduction bill and has boldly led his high protection squad of deserters into the Repu lican camp, where they belong. He has been an open enemy of the administration, disrs- garded the party's wishes on silver and the tariff and receives only applause from the enemies of the party. Hill is not 8 Democrat" And other equally good judg ss of Democracy agree with the World and with Governor Stone.
 So man who places country above par ty and the prosperity of the people above pernicious and poverty-breeding policy isn't Democrat. Of course he isn't.

put them in office this year." There
is world of meaning in these few

the independents keep on jangling

SO the Sun is correct. Whether the

was agitated considerably, and we
were told that if the women had the
right of ballot that a different state

would see to it that none but temper

their vote. They now have an op-

country, and we shall await with
considerable interest the result of the
