apparently Won his long and at times
doubtful fight for life, and it now ap-
pears to be only question of time be-
fore he regains the robust health he so
long enjoyed. He has been ill for many
weeks, but has grown strong enough
to travel and has gone to the Rhode
Island Goa. t to spend the summer. Mr..
Hit, if he regains his health will al
most certainly be the next chairman
of the House Committee on Foreign
affairs, position he has held before
and which his experience in the De-
partment of State and in the Diplo-
matte Service has thoroughly equipped
him for, and position which may
become very prominent during the

earnest support of the administration,
for it is largely Mr.. Cleveland's own

Dental nomination that is another
matter entirely. 1t is unquestionably
MIR. Cleveland's present intention to
take the nomination himself, if he can
get it. However, as Mr.. Carlisle is

Miss Frances Willard. President

Miss Frances Willard, President o
| the W. G. T. u, in speech before
the British Woman's Temperance
Association in London, expressed hel
views on the subject of dress. She
said:
"The reasoning faculty in women
has but recently reached a point
where they begin to wonder why it is
that they must submit, like so many
lay figures, to be decked in garments
of such material, cut and color as
somebody chooses who has not yet
been authorized to choose, and why
that somebody should choose as he,
she or it is pleased to do is one of the
question which has invaded the outer
court of many a woman's mind,
"One thing is certain, when wo-
men come to themselves out of the
dream and when they have studied
physiology and hygiene long enough
to know that by their senseless and
criminal manner of girding them
selves about with tight corsets and
bodices, cramping their feet and ex-
posing their lower limbs insufficiently
clad to the vicissitudes of climates;
when they are intelligent enough to
see and alive enough to feel the deg
radiation of sweeping all the microbes
and filth of the pavements with their
long skirts, it is safe to say there will
be such another revolt from the pre-
vailing method of feminine attire as
will prove in right down earnest that
women have developed future race
worthy to live in that better world
that we are now engaged in manufac-
turing here below"

The Democratic party in Missouri
must be in bad way if reports which
reach Washington can be depended
upon. Mr.. Richard Gentry, a Kansas
City railway builder, now in Washing
ton, says: "As far as the political situ-
alton in Missouri is concerned am of
the opinion that the state will be car
ried by the Republicans next year,
although l belong to the Democratic
party. One of the chief reasons for
thinking the Republicans will win is
that large number of Democrats are
sick and disgusted with their leaders;
are tired of the men who have domi-
mated the party for years to it's detri-
ment and to show their disgust will
give aid to the opposition"
Middletown transcript., 1895-06-29

There is Democratic plot Matching
in Washington which bodes no good to
Mr.. Cleveland's ambition. The Ma
tional association of Democrat clubs
is organizing party of stump speakers
to make tour through the West and
Northwest. The secretary of that as
sociation who will be in charge of the
tour, is not over friendly to Mr.. Cleve-
land, owing to his having failed to get
one of the big federal offices in the
District of Columbia; and Senator
Morgan, who is to be the star orator of
the party, is an outspoken enemy of
Mr.. Cleveland's financial and foreign
policy. 1t may be presumed, therefore,
that this party will in quiet way do
what it can to increase Mr.. Cleveland's
unpopularity with the Democrats of
the West and Northwest. Taken al
together Mr.. Cleveland will have no
easy task to obtain that nomination;
and no possible chance of being
elected should he succeed in getting it.

Small Democratic officials who have
been notified that their dismissal from
office would speedily follow any decla-
ration or work on their part in favor
of the free coinage of silver, are much
interested in the case of Mr.. William
r. Morrison, who draws 81, 500 year
and perquisites, for performing the
comparatively light and pleasant duties
of member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Mr.. Morrison has
for some years enjoyed the credit of
carrying the greater part of the Illinois
Democracy around in his vest pocket,
and has had the desire to be nominated
for President by the Democrats in his
heart. Some two months or more ago
Mr.. Morrison had a conference with
Mr.. Cleveland, and Immediately after
ward it was semi-officially announced
that Mr.. Morrison had gone to Illinois
to aid the administration Democrats
in their fight against the silver Demo-
Gratis. But Mr.. Morrison didn't do
anything of the kind; he stabbed the
administration in the back, so to speak,
while supposedly acting as one of its
accredited agents. And that isn't all
he has done. One of his henchmen-
ex-Congressman Forman-is now in
Washington, booming Morrison as the
feee silver candidate for the Democratic
nomination. That Forman is acting
with Morrison's knowledge and con-
sent is generally believed, and the
small officials want to know what Mr..
Cleveland is going to do about this
open defiance of the administration
edict by big official. The silver DEM
ocrats are chuckling over the affair;
they say the administration will not |
dare try to discipline Mr.. Morrison,
while the anti-slver Democrats say he
must be disciplined, if the administra-
tion expects to prevent the control of |
the National Convention by the silver
Democrats.

j! DETROIT, Mich, April 20.-By a

able for disposing of an

nue., this city, kept by Herman B. and
Alice D. Lane. She had previously
given birth to a child and had been,
attended by DR.. ]. B. Seaman, who
was suspected of having attempted
an abortion upon the girl. When
the facts became public the story
created a great Sensa ton locally, one
sof the peculiar acts in connection
dertaker kept the body for six weeks
before burial, for the purpose of ex-
perimenting upon it with an embalm-
ing fluid. After an investigat ton the
coroner's jury decided that the un-
known girl met her death from an
unknown cause, and no specified

without damage to his reputa ton.
He accordingly arranged to send

:. WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The de-
c1sion of a court at Cheyenne award
ing Congressman Coffeen's private sec
rotary judgment for the amount of
the 800 per month salary allowed by
law, which was withheld for the mem
ber's own use, has created surprise and
CONSERVATION here. 1t is believed that
a large proportion of representatives
retained portion of all of the appro-
priation for clerk hire, and it is be-
lieved to be certainty that the Cof-
feen judgment will establish a prece-
dent and that similar suits will be in
stituted in every section of the coun-
try. 1t is predicted that this will bring
the present system of providing clerks
for members into disrepute and effect
its amendment or abolition.
