WOMANS SENTIMENTS.
Cause Her Untold Hap.

The girl of today is the mother of future
generations. Humanity is absolutely de-
pendent for it's continuance and preserva-
ton on the knowledge and stamina and
health of women. Woman's lot and her
relations to the world are such as to deserve
a great deal more attention and considera-
ton from science than she has yet received.
The American race of women in particu-
lar has questions to settle that are much
more important than extension of suffrage
to women or the enactment of a national
divorce law.
Why is it that there are so many feeble
and sickly women all over the land? Why
is it that not an average of over one child
is born to American women. Why is il
that hundreds of thousands of American
men will not marry ut all?
Have you ever thought of these things?
1t is because disease is striking ut the
very root of the American race. 1t is be-
cause most diseases can trace their cause to
one source; viz, troubles of the kidneys
and adjacent organs.
The kidneys are the great organs of the
body, but this is little realized or under
stood. A healthy. happy woman with good
complexion, good appetite and hopeful
spirits never has diseased kidneys. The

LESSONS OF THE INCIDENT.

Another tragedy was narrowly avert
ed Sunday evening. The would-be muir
derer was frustrated by the agency that
prompted the attack. He had imbibed
enough bad whisky to make him mean
and murderous, but too much to leave
his hand steady for effective work.
A young, man of excellent reputation
came down from Ogden to get a taste
of metropolitan existence, and While
strollins with a soldier friend, CHARGED
upon three female acquaintance of the
soldier. They were strange to the
young man from Ogden, but he stopped,
received an introduction, and was about
to make a remark concerning the
weather when an ex-convict, craZed
with liquor, rushed up and fired a re-
volver in the face of the Ogden man.
The powder struck him full and fair.
the bullet went after a lock of his hair,
but couldn't find any, the women
screamed, the men scattered. and
then a policeman happened along and
gathered in the professional assassin.
1t was an experience from which all
parties ought to learn a lesson, and So
eiety at large should be able to benefit
In the first place, it removes from the
streets a dangerous character, who es-
capped a portion of a merited sentence
some time ago by the intervention of
the pardoning power. 1t should teach
young women who roam the streets to
avoid entangling alliances with men af-
flicted with the jealous mania 1t
should cause young men to beware Of
strange women. 1t gave the soldier a
fearful example of the effect of intoxi-
cants upon the aim. and demonstrated
10 the young man from Ogden that it
isn't necessary to so to New York or
san Francisco for genuine metropoli-
tan excitement.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION;

For several days the Tribune has
been muttering incoherent charges
against the Democratic party, declar-
ing it repealed an antitrust law AS
this statement is at variance with the
traditional position of the Democratlc
party and contrary to. the record, we
passed it by as one of the expressions
of temporary mental alteration with
which some people, under certain con-
ditions. are periodically afflicted.
Yesterday it repeated the falsehood'
as shamelessly as ever, and actually
pretends to believe what it says on the
matter. 1t claims that the antitrust
law of 1890 was repealed by a Demo-
cratic congress in 1894. The only meas
ure enacted in 1890 against trusts-un-
lawful combinations in restraint of
trade-was the Sherman act, which is
still the law, although President NC
Kinley and his attorney general refuse
to enforce it. This bill passed con-
gress finally on the ,2nd of July, 1890. It
was amended in the Wilson bill, but not
repealed. On the 9th of August, 1894,
an additional section was enact
ed prohibiting trusts dealing in
foreign manufactures from COM
bining in this country in restraint
of trade But the old law, perfectly
consistent with the supplemental legis-
lation of 1894, is in full force today. and
ought to be enforced, and would be if
William j. Bryan had been elected
three years ago instead of the trust at
torney who now rules over the destinies
of the nation.
If that is the act of a Democratic
for which our neighbor has
been abusing the Democracy, we hope
it will profit by the lesson it recently
received and make its apologies at
once.

"THE OLD ORDER cHANGETH. !,


&c. j. Griffin in Chambers Journal)
No knight rides forth upon Summer
morn
To seek adventure for day and year,
No drawbridge falls at summons of his
horn.
No wrathful foe doth prove his sword
and spear.
Nor battle giveth he for maid forlorn:
No seneschal doth bid a courteous cheer.
Though the old armor rusteth on the wall,
And the good sword hath now no power
to bite,
No mailed heel ring through the quiet
hall,
No charger paw the ground at morn
ings light,
Yet may he still do work not mean or
Still may ne be perfect. gentle
knight
Still lives the high IDEAL; still the strong
May help the weak may succor the dis
tressed,
Tighten the burden that the ages wrong
Lays on the wretcned; still may he in

strel song
Greet his emprise or glory in his quest.

distressful vicissitudes. One of these
occurred early in its history. .Boadicea,
a queen of. the Rritons in the time of
the Emperor Nero, was once for some
assertion of Independence and resist
ance to injustice subjected by the Ro-
mans, she and her daughters. to cru
city and insult. Boadicea aroused her
people to revolt. She marched to Lon
don and captured it and burned it to
the ground. What is more, she put to
death $50 it is said) 20, 900 London citi-
zens. In revenge for the insults in
fiicted upon her and her daughters, she
hanged what Roman women she
caught. hanged them naked. Britain
was nearly lost to Rome then But in
the end the Romans gained a decisive
victory, and Boadicea, knowing what
fate was hers should she be taken,
made away with herself by poison.
This was in the year A. D. 81.
London, as we have said, was a Ro-
man city for nearly 400 years. We can
get an idea of how long a period of
time this was by remembering that the
three greatest events in modern his
tory. the events that have exerted the
greatest influences on the developmnt
of modrn civilization-the invention of
printing, the discovery OF America and
the reformation--have had only a like
period of time to exert their influences
in. During these 400 years Britain to
a great extent took on the Roman civ
ilization. Under Roman engineers great
works were accomplished, the parallels
to which are found only in our modern
railways and canals. For example, the
embankments that narrowed the .estu-
airy of the Thames and made it a river
were begun, if not completed. in Ro-
man times. Britain also during the
Roman occupancy became Christian
