CoERCING A SENATOR.

The constituents of Senator Caffery, of
Louisiana, who disapprove of his opposi-
ton to the Chicago platform and especial
ly of his attitude the silver question,
have united in a demand for his resigna
ton. In behalf of an injured State and q
betrayed party" they say, I'VE demand
and require that he return to the people
and to the State he has ceased to repre-
sent the commission with which he has
been intrusted by Them" and In the event
of his refusal to resign they "disavow and
repudiate every word that he may say,
every act that he may perform, and every
vote that he may give as a Senator from
Louisiana" Senator Caffery's recent acts
and utterances show him to be man of
convictions and courage. and it IS not like
ly he will pay any attention to this demand
unless he may notice it by peremptorily
refusing to comply with it. The demand

The anti-cigarette crusade inaugurated a
year or so ago by the school principals and
local committees in Brooklyn N Y, is
having excellent results. The movement
was started by the principal of a grammar
school and has enlisted a large number of
the school principals throughout the city.
The boys are asked to sign a pledge to
abstain from cigarette smoking while at
tending school. and it is found that COM
paratively few of those who take the
pledge break it. OF course they may form
or resume the smoking habit later but it
is something gained to get them TO abstain
from it during the years of growth when
1t is most injurious.

The following pleasant personal APP
pears in a prominent place in New York
paper: One of the most attractive Of the
rich and fashionable widows now in town
is Mrs Richard Irwin, who is living at the
Waldorf. Mrs. Irwin is young, beautiful
and the picture of health, she dresses we'll
and always looks happy. Her life seems
like the realization of a long cherished
dream" Women not infrequently
heard to say that the life most to be COW
eted is that of a rich widow, but such re-
marks are commonly regarded by their
male hearers, at least, as cynical and not
made in earnest. 1t is somewhat startling,
therefore, to see such public recognition
and acceptance of the idea. Is it really
true that women whose husbands have
money want to be widows? Does the love-
ly young creature who aspires to matri-
mony look forward to this as only pre-
liminary step to bliss, and to the death
of her husband as the realization of her
dreams? Has the old song Il want to be
an angel and with the angels stand" been
changed to, II want to be a widow?'' The
possibilities presented by the picture of
this young, beautiful and happy widow en-
joying the realization of long cherished
dream will be more painful to the truly
sensitive masculine mind than any phase
of the new woman question that has yet
confronted him. The man of means will
have something new to think about and
will wonder and wonder if his wife is
cherishing a secret dream OF future free
dom and delight in which he has no
share. The only comfort he can get out
of it is that at least she is not planning
a future with another man in 1t. She only
wants to be a widow.

The State fair must have been a pro-
nounced financial failure. If other condi-
lions were favorable the threatening and
stormy weather would have cut its re-
ceipts below the expenditures. 1t must be
said. however that the interest was less
marked than last year. This may be due
to the very general interest in political
matters, nevertheless old settlers meetings
and veterans reunions have never been so
fully attended. Those who are judges say
that the display of stock was far above
the average, in fact, one Of the finest ever
made in Indiana. What the horse trotting
would have been, but for the unfavorable
weather, cannot be known. 1t is, how
ever. a notable fact that the attendance
the best day, when there was no cause to
fear a storm, was less than that of the
corresponding day of last year, which was
insufferabIy hot. There can be no doubt
that the managers did all they believed
they were warranted In doing to insure a
successful exhibition. If they are to be
criticised it should be because of the very
Objectionable character of some of its side
shows. With all things, the State fair
should be an educator not only in its ex-
hibits, but in what its managers admit for
the entertainment of those who visit 1t.
When such things were put on exhibition
as the carriage connected with the murder
of Pearl Bryan, the managers Of the fair
are open to. the charge of ministering to
the morbid and vulgar sentiment. The
crime and everything connected with it
are revolving. The vice which led to it
should not be recalled. The taste or desire
crime and shocking murder is not prompted
by intelligence, and does not promote re-
finement. Consequently the exhibition of
such articles should be left to organiza-
tions which do not receive the money of
the State, and if possible their exhibition
should be prohibited by law
