MOTT LOC1LIzED.

The local-opti -hell-localizing pool
bill met it's fate yesterday in the house,
and DIR. Smyth, who has done so much
to kill it, was there to see it die. They
say it was an impressive sight to see
the squirming of those who had bound
themselves to vote for the bill and
couldn't sneak out of their bondage.
There were also some glorious exhibit
tons Of civic virtue on the part of some
who had heard from their constituents
and who wanted their constituents TO
hear from them. And there was gnash-
ing of teeth by the representatives Of
the "llorse-breeddng interest" who saw
all their fine plans for the Improvement
of the noble animal disappear before an
awakened public opinion like mist be-
fore the west wind. They have spent
great deal of time and some money
in showing how the horse Isl raised In
the scale of existence by selling pools
on him when he is about to race, and
they were naturally much disappointed
by the failure of their efforts to fix
things SO that he could at least be so
improved in some places in Connecticut
at some times. OF course they have
very poor opinion of the public senti-
ment that has knocked them out, but
they are compelled to recognize it's
force. All they can do now is to wait
until the deterioration of the horse
brings about such change in public
sentiment that it will be felt that the
improvement of the horse is quite as
important as the Improvement of the
human race We have no doubt that
the horse will suffer much in body and
spirit because he cannot be legally
ganlIbled on in Connecticut, but it would
not be surprising if large majority of
the people of this State should continue
to be perverse enough to consider the
consequent improvement of Man an
adequate offset to that. At any rate
they so consider now.

ENCOURAGING.

The free-silver craze doesn't look quite
as ominous as it did. All over the coun-
try vigorous and often unexpected pro-
test is being made against it.
A careful canvass of the members of
the next national house shows that free
silver will be in smaller minority in
that body than ever No less than 220
of the 244 Republicans against the
proposition, and with 80 of the 105 Dem
ocrats also opposed an anti-silver ma
jority of IA is figured out. The free
coiners have not only got to- elect a
president in 1896 to put their policy in
force, but to overturn the membership
of the house.
Kansas has been looked upon as the
especial home of the craze. The Tope-
ka Capital publishes a list of Republi-
can newspapers I'M Kansas which are
opposing free silver, showing that there
are ten dailies and eighty-two weeklies
on that side. Most of the leading pa
pers of the State are among them. The
Capital says: WeIbelieve there has new
err been a time when so large a major
ity of the Republican press of the State
were opposed to the folly Of a silver
standard, which is what many former
champions are beginning to realize this
.fI1yar ,,oovoyoa ont Y,aaps Tho dob fins,
force in behalf of the present dollar as
the standard for debt payments and
for values is winning adherents every
week.
There has been a decided change of
sentiment in Mississippi on the ques-
ton Of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. When the State press assoc
citation met at Biloxi, month ago,
only seventeen editors were in favor of
a single gold standard. The remainder
were more or less strongly in favor of
free coinage at the rate of 16 to /. Now
forty-one. papers, or about half Of those
published in the State, have come out
for the gold standard Among the Dem
ocratic leaders Governor Stone Is con-
spicuous as q bold advocate of the
gold standard Congressman Catchings
stood alone of the Mississippi delega-
ton in the last house in favor of honest
money. In the next three of his col
will help him.
And there are other similarly encour-
aging indications, But it behooves the
opponents Of the craze to keep wide
awake and "the battle ne'er give DER"

What Shall We DO with Our Dead?
[By Samuel C. App1eby in The Urn.l
The laws Of 'life, death and resurrec-
tom are immutable, Everything that
lives must die; everything that dies
must decay and become dissolved into
its original elements; and these ele-
ments must return to what Mr. Henry
Simon calls "the cycle of life;" that is.
they sustain and become again a part
of living organisms.
Sir Henry Thompson, the father of
the cremation movement in England,
says:
Those clements Of our bodies which
by decay assume the gaseous form min
gle at once with the atmosphere and
are taken up from 1t without delay by
ever open mouths Of vegetable life BY
thousand pores in every leaf the car
bonic acid which renders the atmos-
phere unfit for animal life is absorbed
Our mahogany dinner table has been
many negroes in its turn. When the
table which has borne so well some
twenty thousand dinners shall be brok-
en- up from pure debility and consigned
to the fire, it will issue into the atmos-
phere once more as carbonic acid, again
to be devoured by the nearest troupe of
hungry vegetables. to be daintily serv-
ed on the table which now stands in
that other tables place; and so on in
eternal alteration, again and again as
long as this world of ours lasts.
ic Of f1a. o1,
istry and law of life; and we owe to thG
living that the dead shall not be pre-
vented from returning to life's cycle
with the speed which Nature indicates
is her will. That will we illustrate at
our PERIL for it needs mo argument at
this time to convince anybody of the
truth that our proximity to the gases
given off from putrefying matter is sure
to make some of us ILL., Let the carcass
of a dog lie on a public thoroughfare a
half dozen hours and citizens will ask
the police and health department what
they mean by jeopardizing the public
health in falling to remove the offensive
thing. But what indignation shall we
visit upon our own prejudices where we
insist upon jeopardizIng the health of
cities of half a million inhabitants or
more by burying within and around
them tens Of thousands of human bod
les every year to distil poisonous mi
asms from billions of pores in the
ground.
Nobody pretends that the bodies do
not decay; we know that each corpse re-
solves itself into an average of five
thousand cubic feet of noxious gas that
must escape, unpurified by fire, from
the narrow grave, and we know that
cemeteries are reelSing pestilential
plague spots. When they are in or near
cities, where the teeming land is plated
with impervious payements instead Of
being covered with vegetation that Is
hungry for the poison breath, that
breath must fastenl upon living animals
Do we not owe to the living that our
dead shall not be the means of murder
ing the living? Already in England
and Wales, where half million bodice
are buried annually, it is predicted that

The law of seIf-defense Is given lib
eral construction by the United States
Supreme court in a recent decision. Out
in Arkansas a man with two others pro-
ceeded to invade the premises of a
brother-in-law to claim COW. The
man drew revolver to enforce his
claims, when he was struck and killed
by the owner of the premises. The
latter was convicted and sentenced to
eight years imprisonment, Judge Par
ker of the United States District court,
who presided at the trial, instructing
the jury that the defendant was obliged
by the law of self defense "to avoid dam
ger by getting out of the way if he
could; that the only place where he
need not retreat further was his dwell
ling-house." But the Supreme court
brushes aside the distinction between
"dwelling-house" and premises" and
orders q retrial of the case. The de-
fendant was where he had a right to be,
says the court, when me was set upon,
and if he did not provoke an assault
and had reason to believe that the as
sailant intended to take his life or do
him great bodily harm, he was not OBJ
Iiged to retreat and was justified in
meeting force by force.

Ihe Dog, the door ana the DoorSinat.
A collie in Scotland whom l know
we'll, is in the habit of fetching from
his masters room slippers, cap, keys or
anything he is sent for. One day, sent
on the usual GRAND, he did not reap
pear. His master followed. and found
that the door Of the bedroom had blown
to and that the dog was prisoner.
Some days later he was again told to
fetch something; and as the wind was
high. his master. after a few minutes
delay followed him. He found him in
the act OF fixing the door firmly back
with the doer-mat, which he had rolled
UP for the purpose, and having taken
this precaution, the prudent animal pro-
ceeded to look for the slippers. This
same collie, when walking with me, ran

these shades are made up very daintily.
One model Is shown to-day, in pique,
its godet skirt banded with embroidery.
The skirt may be left plain, if desired,
and be equally correct, The bodice is
made very full and is supplied with
triple epaulettes, each edged with en-
broidery.
The fashion OF trimming with little
close ruffles or narrow valenciennes lace
is being run into the ground yet there
is an elegance about this sort of elabor-
alton that never fails If the lace be of
good color, narrow enough and applied
carefully. OF course, thread lace at
once lifts the mode above vulgarity, no
matter how popular 1t may become.
A dainty finish for neck and wrists
is made of square Of fine homestitch-
ed linen cut through the centre and set
on band that slips within the dress
sleeve, leaving the points of the square
to hang loosely about the hand. The
collar is made on similar model
Many beautiful lace handkerchiefs are
being sacrificed for such use, hole
being cut out of the centre. II seems
a shame, but on the other hand a lace
handkerchief is not to be used in good
taste as handkerchief, and such cut
ting does not injure the lace. The
pretty fashions of lace-edged white
null collar returns, their pretty points
appearing over the prim chokers of
even tailormade gowns Nothing Is
more becoming than this touch of fine
white about the neck, but intending
wearers should remember that only the
perfection Of spotless daintiness can be
tolerated in this sort of accessory.
