THE FATE OF A QUEER BILL,

Several curious bills have been pass
ed by the Massachusetts legislature.
Among them is one granting the right
of any pewholder in church to vote at
church meetings whether he was a
member o. the church or not. This
bill would, had it become a law, give
heretics and even infidels, unreasonable
and dangerous power in church mat
tiers and why the legislature passed it
is difficult to see. But the governor
didn't pass it. When it came to him he
vetoed it. Among other reasons he
gave for vetoing it was that the bill
went contrary to the policy of the State
to abstain, as far as may be, from inter
ference with church affairs. The bill
was not only special legislation, but, in
the view of Governor Walcott, legisla-
ton which directly took sides in a
church controversy. 1t is much bet
ter, the governor thinks, to require
members of religious organizations to
settle their affairs under the provisions
of the general statutes To interfere
in any one case would not only be I'M
wise as a matter of public policy, but
would invite frequent applications for
such interference to the extent that the
legislature would find itself called upon
to be the court of appeal in all church
affairs where the members and officers
found themselves unable to agree" The
in question owns property, and that the
effect of the proposed legislation, which
majority. would be practically an alien

IOOhERS.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Springfield Republican says that
"the Democrats look to 1898 and 1900 TO
bring them renewed victories" The
Democrats are great and persistent
lockers, but it is evident that they
don't feel warranted In looking for any
renewed victories" in 1896. So they
will rest from looking for at least two
years and rest their blasted eyes. And
when they look again they may have
no better luck than they have had in
looking for revenue from the deficit
tariff which they so proudly and hope
fully made. But it will not do them
any harm to look. 1t did not do the
ancient lockers who looked for the
promised land and died without the
sight thereof any harm to keep looking.
1t saved them from complete discour-
agement. 1t is probable that the Dem
ocrats have long journey in the will
derness before them. But they can at
least have the pleasure and support of

4 HUMANE CATTLE KILLER.

In Nice, France, a society for the
joicing over the invention and success
full application of a humane cattle kill
err" 1t is a simple and efficient affair,
which saves the beasts from suffering
and the butchers from danger. The in
strument, which is but little more than
a foot long, is secured to the animal s
forehead, and then a slight tap with a
mallet discharges a central fire car
fridge, the bullet from which enters the
brain and the animal dies instantly and
painlessly. The butchers of the Nice
abattoirs regard it as a most humane
Improvement upon the old method of
drawing the head of an OK to the floor
and slaughtering it with an axe They
like it also because the instrument is
cheap, costing but sixty francs, and is
unfailingly effective. The veterinary
surgeon who is the abattoir and mar
ket inspector of Nice says it cannot be
surpassed, for it reduces the risk Of
accident to a minimum, death is in
Simultaneous, and the carcass bleeds
quite as well as when slaughtered by
any other method.
Something of this kind ought to have
been in general use long ago. There is
much needless cruelty to animals in the
prevalent method of killing cattle

SOME SOUND DOCTRTNE

Some of the most cheering and sig
nificant utterances in favor Of sound
money are made by Democratic news
papers in the South. For instance, the
Baltimore News points out that any
southern State which has begun to at
tract outside capital on large scale,
or hopes to do so in the near future,
will make deplorable blunder if it
goes on record as favoring the free
coinage of silver. And it adds; In no
other way can these States so prompt
ly and effectively chill the confidence
of capitalists as by joining the ranks
of those who are attempting to debase
the currency. Any community that
rushes frantically to the support Of
schemes for scaling down debts, simply
because they do scale down debts, is
bound to suffer for it. How much Vir-
ginia has suffered from the conse-
quences of following Malone into the
ditch of Reputation it is impossible to
estimate. IF the Democratic party of
Georgia is wise, it will declare for sound
money and condemn the 16 to idea,
the Savannah News (Dem.) says
"And the Democrats of Florida should
do the same thing. Both States are
prosperous and progressive. They are
inviting capital and immigration. What
better inducement could they offer for
these things than the announcement
that they favor a sound and stable cur
rency? The sound-money men of the
Democratic party of each of these
States have it in their power to put
their State in a position to make such
an announcement"
Those who thus talk and write are
the real friends of the South. That sec
ton of the country will find no profit
in anything that tends to turn capital
and good citizens away from it.

FASHION NOTES.
New DESIGNS of Sleeves.


You cannot make your cuffs too long,
or too much in funnel shape over your
hands. The latest sleeve shows fun
mel finish that spreads the sleeves from
the wrist out till the tips of the fingers
are almost covered. Then inside the
funnel is set lot of frills of chiffon,
from the midst of which the hand
shows at the fingers. 1t makes one
think of cup of whipped cream with
a little spoon sticking out. In the ac-
companying picture there is another
novel sleeve, one of many that design
ers put forward to test women's readi-
ness to accept tight sleeves. 1t con-
sists of a large puff of the green and
gold striped silk of which the dress is
made, which is caught up with a
straight band of green satin to show
velvet undersleeve. The latter again
ends in a striped silk cuff. Aside from
the sleeves this bodice is not lacking in
novelty. Its overlapping front fastens

with a gold button and is slightly
pointed in back and front. Plastron
and stock collar are of green silk, the
latter with wired points. The fronts
are cut into revers with a turned down
collar in back, and the skirt has front
breadth of the green silk. Very narrow
green galoon borders the edges of the
bodice.
Bingham petticoats are all the rage
and bid fair to become SO settled an ar
ticle of underwear as to soon render
the wearing of silk skirt on the street
as vulgar and untidy as a white skirt
now it. The new underwear is, as usu-
al to this season of the year, bewilder-
ing. How in the world can an average
woman go to sleep in a night dress of
pale blue lawn, with a lovely sheer
white collar over the shoulder, a pair of

a woman unto setting the bed afire so
as to be rescued. FLORETTE.

Ohio courts do not agree as to the
constitutionality of the mechanics lien
law The Eighth Circuit court has de-
clared it constitutional, while the Third
Circuit pronounced it to be in violation
of the bill of rights. Judge Sayler of
Cincinnati has declared it to be consti-
tutional, basing his opinion on decis-
ions rendered in several States on SIM
liar laws. He found two Supreme court
decisions on the other side, but the
weight of authority is that the policy
of the statute is one of security to all
creditors for labor and material; that
its purpose is to extend and protect the
rights of mechanics and material-men
from irresponsible and dishonest con-
tractors; and that the legislature may
impose that condition and liability upon
owners of property, the hardship or
risk involved being no greater than
that of the otherwise unprotected me-

discovery Of a successful method of
converting heat into electrical energy
without the use of any machinery. The
device, said to have been invented by
Dr. Jacques, Of Pittsburg, consists of
a battery Of multiple cells over a slow
fire with an air pump attached. This
is reported to convert so per cent. Of
the energy of burning coal into cleo
trical force. The Dispatch says: IF
this problem is completely solved labor
for eight hours a day will more than
suffice for the wants Of the world, if
all its economies are not absorbed be-
fore reaching the working classes. A
few years ago the announcement of
such a discovery would have been re-
