The w. c. r. u. started out to
abolish the liquor habit, but it has
conducted several crusades against
other habits which it considered as
injurious as John Barleycorn.
Some time ago the society waged a
fierce war on the kinetoscope pic
lures which reproduced the Corlbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, but the good
women failed to convince the
American people that the kineto-
scope was an evil. Now they
have opened war on the corset.
The Daily States ventures the
prediction that as the corset has
been so close to the feminine heart
for centuries it will not go. The
States expresses the opinion that if
the fight is not called off the w. c.
+. u. will lose d great many of its
very excellent members because the
average woman would rather be
dead than to look fabby.

Jno. E. Bruce, an educated ne
gro of Albany, N. ", recently Wis
tied the Nashville Exposition and
other points in the. South. After
Bruce returned to New York he
published a letter in which he says
there is no more prejudice in the
South toward the negro than in the
North, and the friction which oc-
ours from time to time in the South
ern States is nearly always caused
by the darkies themselves. Bruce
is evidently not in love with his own
race. He says that the lower
classes of negroes are s'bumptious,
o,erbearing, greasy, boisterous and
insulting"

The tact that some people in
Calfax participated in Sunday ex-
cursion has caused the editor of
the Chronicle to make the assertion
that "a great many more so-called
respectable people of the world are
on the broad road to hell than are
trying to get to heaven" The
Chronicle man should not allow
this to worry him. If people who
SO on Sunday excursions are to be
damned for it, our esteemed con-
temporary will have an excruciat-
ingly painful time to tread the mar
row pathway which leads to the
golden gates.

President Mckinley, the Baltimore
Sun pays this beautiful tribute to
the sex:
s'It is not necessary to read either
novels or ancient history to find
heroines. Nearly every man has
them in his own household, though
sometimes he is too blinded by his
own egotism and selfshness to rec
oguize them. 1t is comparatively
rarely that they figure in newspaper
reports. but they are constantly
pulling some man or other out Of
deep water or saving some relative
or friend from the consequences of
his own sin or folly. Every now
aud then they show, too, that when
it comes to pinch the hand that
rocks the cradle can also perform
deeds that require the highest degree
of courage aud heroism, and that
the heart that quails in the presence
of q mouse can stand firm aud I'M
dAunted before hostile world.

GEZHER.
Tom Watson, the most promi-
nent Populist in the United States,
il authority for the statement that
the third party is about to pass out
of existence. Mr.. Watson volun-
teers the additional information
that with the breaking ur of that
party its members will return to the
old psrties of which they were
staunch adherents before they en-
braced the principles of Populism.
If Mr.. Watson knows what he is
talking about, the:collapse of the
Peoples party will strengthen the
Democracy throughout the Union,
but more especially in the Southern
States. This is rs it should be.
All conscientious Populists should
find shelter in the Democratic
household. The bowling dema-
gogues and blatant agitators who
have brought the Peoples party to
a perhaps premature grave will
doubtless cling to it as long as there
is a sembiance of it left, but the
rank and file who are thoroughly
honest and sincere, though mis-
taken, will not hesitate to resume
allegiance to the only party which
holds out any hope to the oppressed
masses of the country. The Dem
ocratic party is the only political
organization in the United States
pledged to restore to the people the
rights guaranteed to them by the
Constitution, but stolen from them
by an arrogant plutocracy through
its subservient tool, the Republican
party. Ninety per cent of the
Populists of Louisiana will sacrifice
no principle by coming back to the
Democratic party. By joining
forces with the Democrats they will
form an army that will be we'll nigh
invincible when battling against the
invidious assaults of the money
power. The issue to-day is to
down the trusts. And to accom-
plish that end the vote of every
honest man is needed. Without
the Democrats the Populists are
powerless. With the Populists the
Democrats are powerful and will
prevail over the combined influence
of the trusts and monopolies.
We are told that the leading trusts
and corporations have gotten to-
gether and combined their interests
and have formed a monster trust of
trusts beside which the Standard
Oil Company is an extremely mild
concern. This gigantic trust, it is
said, will be composed of the
Standard Oil Company, the Ameri-
can Cotton Oil Company, the
Leather Trust, the Tobacco Trust
and all the other blood-sucking
corporations at whose bidding the
American Congress has just in
ficted upon the masses tariff law
pronounced by the conscientious
leaders of both parties as the most
Ubiquitous measure in the history of
American legislation.
Now that these powerful enemies
of liberty and progress are banding
together like the bandits who prey
upon their fellows on the highways,
is it not time that all honest citizens
should make common cause and
make an earnest fight not only to
repel the entertainments upon their
liberties, but to wage on a relentless
war until the last trust has been
crushed to earth3

A GARBAGE PROCESSION
1T PASSES DOWN HADLEY AVENUE
FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT.
Anna Vetter, a Property Owner, Seeks
to Stop 1t by InjunctiOn-H. +.
VOigt's Alleged Wife.

The woes of the garbage man seem to
increase. and now he is to be dragged into
the Superior Court to show why he should
not be restrained from driving his wagons
along a certain suburban thoroughfare. His
latest trouble grows out of the suit brought
yesterday against the Indianapolis SAM
tary Company and c. H. Ross, George Abb
bolt, Ernest Buehning John L. Major,
Lambert Krumholtz James w. Lanktree.
The plaintiff is Anna Vetter, who has
property on Hadley avenue, West Indian
apolis. The plaintiff resides on this thor
oughfare and has tenants near her. She
recites the fact that the indianapolis San
itary Company has a contract with the city
of Indianapolis to remove the daily accu-
mutation of garbage and Stops to the Sellers
farm, and that in carrying out this con-
tract the wagons owned by the defendant
company are driven along the thorough
fare on which she and her tenants reside.
She estimates that 15O wagons reeking with
the foulest odors pass her house every day.
She charges that many of the wagons are
improperly covered and are not mt 30 be
used in this kind of work. Other OF the
vehicles are neither air nor water tight,
and from them drip offensive liquids. 1t is
charged that the SANITARY company also
has the contract Cor removing dead animals
from the city, and they, too, are carried
along Hadley avenues All of these things
complained of, the plaintiff AYERS produces
harmful sanitary conditions. She says the
constant sight of the procession OF garbage
wagons with a knowledge of what they
contain, is disgusting and nauseat1ng. On
this account the plaintiff charges that her
property is deprecating in value and she
is unable to rent her property satisfactor-
lily. She demands that the court restrain
the sanitary company from sending its
wagons along Hadley avenue in front OF

Officers of the home life insurance COM
panies are indignant over the attacks
upon their methods, made, as they claim,
by the agents of the "old line" corporations
of the East and declare that the only war
rant for the attack lies in the fact that the
home companies are writing ten times as
much insurance as the old companies have
been able to pick UP in Indiana. William
Bosom, the secretary of the Interstate Life,
called at the auditors Office yesterday and
insisted that the alleged agreement between
the founders of his company was a fabrica-
ton out of whole cloth. that no such
agreement had been entered into. The
agreement exhibited to the auditor was not
the original, but purported TO be a copy,
with the signatures typewriter.
The Interstate" said Mr.. Neal, chief
clerk of the insurance department, yester-
day, was organized under the acts of
1888. The only charters in existence under
that law that ] know of are that one and
the Hoosier State. at Richmond, both of
which incorporated before the new law
went into effect"
Would il be possible to exercise closer
supervision under the present law if the
department had more help?" was asked

statements but that is the only way unless
we should keep men nossag about watching

they violate it we are pretty sure to hear

LemanOuski's Title.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Mr. Goodwin, in the Journal of the 9Th
inst, made valuable contribution to our
stock of knowledge respecting the author
of the Life of Bonaparte'' but he claims
that Lemanouski was count and not a
colonel. What his rank was in the army is
unknown to me and he may have been called
count at Evansville, where Goodwin knew
him, but it is certain that in Henry county
where he lived for several years, his title
was colonel. In the feudal system the two
words have substantially the same mean
ing. The count commanded the troops Of
his country under the duke in the kings
wars. and might properly have been colonel
as the equivalent of count. The author s
title is of no consequence, and 1t may have
been given him by breVet, as Is the custom
in Kentucky and some other States as a
mark of distinction, and the real question
is: Did he write the book? l have ex-
pressed the opinion IN a former commune
cation that he did, and placed myself in
accord with all who have written on the
subject. The only doubt in my mind arises
from the fact that, so far as known, he
never communicated to any one, even his
most intimate friends. that he was the
whom they are willing to contide such Sc
crets. But. considering all the facts and
circumstances, the probability is strong
that he wrote the book III. l.. BUNDY.

The Little Wind.

Now praise the Lord both moon and SUM-
And praise Him all We nights ana days.
And golden harvests every one,
And all We hidden waterways,
With cattle standing to the knees
Safe from the bitter Radf1y stinGs
But praise him most, o little breeze
That walks abroad at evening.
praise Him all We orchards now.
And all We gardens deep in green.
Ripe apples on the yellowing Dough,
And golden plum and nectarine,
And peaches ruddier than the roSes
And pears against the southern WALTZ
But most the little wind that blows,
The blessed wind at evenfall.
O praise Him, hoary dews again,
Drenshing the meadows meath the moon,
And praise Him hidden founts of rain.
And amber brooks singing a tune,
And icy deeps of well-waters
And each pellucid stream and spring;
But praise Him most, o wind astir,
o blessed wind at evening.
o praise Him now ye burning days
Of golden summer, hot and spent,
Planets and stars see that His praise
BE blown about the armament.
Yet praise Him best, o little wind
That out of heaven will blow and call,
Because, because our God is kind
And bids us live at evenfall.
