why They Are Opposed to popuIisn,


To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
The threatened free coinage of silver has
not only shortened our money supply by
inducing the boarding of gold, but it has
put the people who cannot get the gold for
that purpose to using the g~reenback, and
from what L can learn a large per cent. OF
our greenback currency has been taken out
of circulation by overcautious persons, and
also by some who are free-silver advocates
for others, but who want gold for them
selves. The reason for laying aside green
backs is that they know they are now re-
eemable by the government in gold. OF
course Bryan and his gang have said that
the resumption act viii be repealed ii they
get a chance at il, but they can't do that
before the holders of the greenbacks can
get the gold for them We have the spec
tacle of a candidate for President demand
ing the support Of a party whose candidate
he didn't vote for in 1892. but voted the
Populist ticket. not because there was no
Democratic ticket to vote. because there
was, but he turned it aside and voted the
Populist ticket. and his poor excuse is that
he was directed to do so by a committee:
but il failed TO carry the State against Har-
rison. Bourke Cochran was voting for
Cleveland when Billy Bryan, the Popocrat.
was voting for Weaver, the arch Populist.
The workingmen began to correct the mis-
take they made in 1892 by changing theirs
votes in 1893, and they nave kept it up in
every election held since and will keep it
up on that line to the end in 1896 because
of the tariff and good government. The
people are not going to be fooled in 1896
with the same old organ of rs92, but a new
monkey. with all their Promises the re-
suit was free souphouscs in the winter OF

Mrs. Gertrude Atherton's new book
Is a tiny volume, but its explosive
properties are not at all proportioned
to its size. Literary giant-powder
one might term this booklet, whose de-
mure, almost Quakerish. dress of cof-
fee-colored buckram with silver orna-
ments bellies its vivid contents. 1t
bursts upon the mind with the effect
of a cannon cracker, and even har-
dened novel reader is shaken by the
explosion, and experiences a scorched
and blackened feeling for some hours
after its perusal. If there is any hot
ter tint than flame color 1t should
have been chosen for the binding, and
careful housewives will keep the book
IN the refrigerator in preference to
the book case.

ELASTIC LINZ t FOR SKIRT LIFTING.
Justice Tfghe's Decision for Women
When Crossing Muddy Streets.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The skirt question
has been solved by Justice Tighe, of Brook
lyn. Mrs. Minnie Sutbach had Charley Lind
blatt, the bicycIist, before the solomon of
Butler street. She had occasion to cross the
street on stormy day. She raised her skirt
to the level of her shoe top to save 1t from
being bedraggled with mud and slush.
"Oh, wow! wow!" yelled Lindblatt who was
passing. Then she alleged he added several
other words Of comment, which wounded
Mrs. Sutbach's feelings. Judge Tighe tried
the case very thoroughly and also consulted
several dignifed south Brooklyn matrons and
the female members Of his family.
Lindblatt and Mrs. Sutbach were In court
today and the benches were crowded with
women, who rallied there in anticipation of
a decision. His honor was pale and a trife
nervous when he ascended the bench. He
looked overwhelmed by a sense of the tre.
mendous responsibility imposed upon him.
Finally he spoke. He said he had spent
many troublesome hours and deIved into pom
derous law books for precedents in the case,
but could find none He therefore would
have to be guided by common sense and cur
rent ideas. He concluded that on a muddy
day woman had right to raise her skirt
to any height not inconsistent with morality.
He fined Lindblatt $25.

this century, a review of the promises
of the Turk, which have been made
and not fulfilled, and much general in
formation of an Illuminating nature
in regard to the kind of life led by the
various Christian sects in Turkey, even
when there is no massacre going on.
The tone of the volume is temperate
and candid. Mr.. Greene is willing to
say whatever may be said for Turkey,
but this Is substantially nothing. The
book contains much that is of interest
in regard to a country and a people
whose condition has lately agitated the
whole civilized world, and can be cor
daily commended to those desiring to
extend their knowledge of the subject
1t is already in it's eighteenth thou
sand. The General Committee for Ar
menian Relief have the sale of the vol
ume in charge, and it will be found In
st. Paul at Getty's pharmacy, in the
Endicott building.
Mr.. Robert Barr Is gentleman who
has stories to tell. An exciting story
which holds the readers attention from
first to last and yet deals with neither
battle, murder nor sudden death Is
something Of a curiosity in these days,
and deserves to have attention espe-
cially called to it's merits. Such a
book is "A Woman Intervenes." There
is not a drop of blood shed in the vol
ume, and yet the reader holds his
breath at various junctures in the
story, as only mortal combat is wont
to make him do. There is also, 1t
may be noted, no psychology in the
book. 1t is simply ''rattling good
story, which has to do with the for
tunes of a New York newspaper wom-
an. a London heiress, two young En-
glishmen and some Canadian mines.
