Away With Long Skirts.

The position taken by the STANDARD
regarding the healthfulness and COM
fort of some modification of the bloom
er costume for women, is finding sup.
port in recent reports of DR.. J. C.
Spencer, Psychologist, of the San
San Francisco Board OF Health, who
has been making microscopic exami-
nation of the dust gathered from the
sidewalk by trailing skirts. He has
obtained evidences Of the existence OF
fever, influenza, diphtheria and con.
sumptive germs from these sweepings,
and he maintains that incurable and
deadly diseases are often carried into
the household from the gatherings OF
the sidewalk. Medical science shows
that the expectoration Of persons af.
tiicted with some OF the dread diseases
especially tuberculosis when it becomes
dry is blown about with the dust, send.
ing the germs of infection broadcast.
DIR. Spencer says that beautiful town
in Italy, San Reno, on the Riviera,
once celebrated for its sunny skies and
balmy health-giving air, is now one of
the most unhealthy places in the
world. 1t is so for no other reason
than that it was the resort for many
years of consumptive patients drawn
hither by its pure and invigorating
air. But the deposit of sputa has so
impregnated the very soil that the
slightest agitation by mere zephyr
is filled with danger of implanting the
germs of the most dreaded of diseases
in the System of the unwary visitor.
The San Francisco Board OF Health
have made their report. 1t states GER
tain conditions and facts, establishing
the conclusion that the long skirts
worn by women are q menace to
health and life, and it now remains
to be seen whether imperious Fashion
will yield her sway when confronted
by no less adversary than the grim
specter of Death.

In abiding to the suggestion for an
international agreement as precedent
for free coinage OF silver, the Olympian,
a year or more ago declared that
Day by day that feeling is gradually
dying out and the Republican party is
getting nearer and nearer to its ultimate
destiny-free coinage. The Republican
party has always been responsive to the
demands OF the people and the people
are demanding again the "dolar of our
daddies." The Republican party will
not fail the country in this emergency.
1t will be observed that the straddle
from this position to that it now occu-
pies is about like that of CULVER when
he performed the triumphal arch act
for the Inhabitants of Lilliput. Aren't
in the neither garment resulted then
as it is likely to now, in exposure of
rather more than might be intended
by either of the noted straddlers.

GONE reason for thinking that Mr.
Mckinley will win" says the London
Statist, lis that the rich all over the
United States are against Mr.. Bryan
and that they have had months for
making preparations to safeguard
themselves" Yes, but this country
has not been Englandized yet, despite
the efforts of Rothschilds and the
goldbugs of Lombard and Wall streets
to accomplish that object, and the
people still have a right to vote &C.
cording to conscience, despite the
threats of an application of the
thumb-screws to labor if it refuses to
do the bidding of the goldocracy.
American manhood is not to be
gagged by British servility at this
election, no matter what may be the
results if they falter now. This con.
dition is pretty we'll understood and
we have an abiding faith in the poa
popuH OF this great nation.

IT is notable fact that the Jack
Republicans are the recipients OF many
evidences of regard from the goldbug
press. Whether it is owing to the ex.
treme youth and evident weakness oil

incidence of heart.bests makes them

known, but that they clutch resolutely
at this straw while battling with the
waves of dissolution and destruction
is painfully apparent. 1t matters but
little whether the impulse be OF pity
or protection, that of the philanthro'
pist or the drowning man, it is so pa.
tent as to excite very general com.
ment, and that is the only point that
this paragraph endeavors to establish.

J.C. IVES.
Now study carefully the language
from the standpoint OF the wage-esrner
in the company's employ. "Is not
this money [gold] good enough for
your" 1t is true that flour, meat,
sugar, and other articles used by the
employe and his family can now be
bought at a price which pays no profit
to the producer of those staples, and
his family may starve in the attempt
to pay taxes on his farm and keep up
interest payments on his mortgage
but the laborer. must not waste sym.
pathy on his fellow man. Does he
wish to pay MORE. when the surplus
must of necessity come out of the cot.
fers OF those who have been enabled to
build up colossal fortunes out of the
present outrageous money system
formulated by greed? Are not the
majority OF the articles required for
his daily subsistence bought from the
home producer, instead of "foreign
countries" as the manifesto 80 craftily
intimates?
1t is true, as is intimsted by the cir
cular, that the rates of freight and
passenger traffic have very generally
been fixed by law, during a season OF
inflated values, and possibly under
present conditions cannot be raised
but have they been lowered to cores
pond with the present wage rate OF
labor or the starvation price the farmer
now gets for his wheat or other prod.
ucts OF the farm? Are either OF these
producers of wealth able to find q
market for his resources at living fig.

maintained even against popular pro.
test by legislative action, through the
corrupt use of the veto power and
court decisions, after the popular YER.

1T LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.

1t has been rumored that prepn-
rations are being made to stop the
Memphis passenger trains from the
north at Galcna instead of Webb
City, and il is also stated that the
electric line proposes TO lease the
piece of track from their present
line down to Main street on Eighth.
This would be good thing for the
electric line, and II great saving to
the Memphis road. as it would then
only have to run mixed trains from
here to Joplin and Webb City. 1t is
a well known fact that the electric
line will injure the passenger traffic
of both railroads between this city
and Webb, and the railroad compa-
ny will be compelled to lessen en-
penses in proportion, or at least it
will endcavor TO do so.
II will not be great while until
the electric line will get almost any
where il wants to in this day aud
age.-Galena Post.

years ago, and before leaving home
wrote me, asking me il they were

Remedy, famous for it's cures of
colds and Group; Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest,
and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy for bowel

W. n. STowELL.

A certain gentleman of sporting
proclivities was offering to bet yes
terday that no matter whether Bry-
an O. Mckinley is elected president
of the United States, in four months
from the time of the Inauguration
every national bank i'm the land will
be closed. He found no takers, but
got into several short discussions
regarding his statement. A warm
politician called him fool and a
crazy loon for talking that way and
told him it would be impossible for
all the national banks to close. The
political sport offered to wager 500
to 81. but the warm politician said
in a plying sort of way, "I don't
want to take money from man as
crazy as you are. and then / amt
bettin' man. But don't think you
know what you are talking about"
When the political sport explained
that in exactly four months from
March 4. Inauguration day, was
July 4, a legal holiday. when all the
banks close, the warm politician,
who did not want the sports money,
condensed himself into as small
space as possible and slunked away
followed by the jeers aud laughter
of the crowd.-Joplin News.
