THE INTELLIGENCER.
Millions of Reasons.

The American Economist, In n very
able article on the result of the election
in Nebraska, cites the fact that the
farmers Of that state turned the tide to
Republicanism. and very significantly
points out that they had over ftty-two
million reasons for doing so. 1t bases
its comments on the following state
ment Of the Chicago Inter Ocean, which
says:
/! Why are Nebraska farmers so much bet
ter of now than in 1896? Because Rcpub-
lican policies assured stability OF the cur
work in tho mills. and thus Increased the
domestic demand for their grain. Our
foreign sales of cereals, great as they are,
as compared with our domestic consump-
ton. are really trifling. Republican poll
Cies increased our power Of domestic con-
sumption. Hence prices rose. and the
Nebraska farmers have reaped the benefit
The Economist argues from these pre-
misses that the protective tariff policy
OF the Republican party had all to do
with the victory In the adopted state OF
.Bryan-a man who stood on 4 platform
that advocated the principles OF free
trade. and whose triumph would signal
ize the return Of those days Of horror
hunger and misery" experienced under
the workings of the wilson German
bill. In following up the causes OF the
Great Republican victory in Nebraska
the Economist shows by citations from

Bryan's state reached the conclusion

Scotching the Evil.

Much has been said about the pernl-
clous habit ofNvery young girls In this
city. OF walking the streets at hours
when they should be under the protec-
ton OF the home roof or at least, the
Safeguard of judlcious escort. While
the preaching and the condemnation
has always been directed towards the
girls as the greatest offenders, seldom,
If ever. has any blame been attached to
the young men who make 1t a POINT to
lead impressionable girls Into the dark
paths Of shame and remorse. In city
Of contracted topography like Wheeling,
having no parks. the people have no
breathing place outside their homes ex-
cept the main streets of the town. And
while It is true that some degraded fe-
males. make a practice Of openly solicit
ing the attentions OF equally brazen and
shameless young men, many young girls
walk the streets purely and simply for
exercise and for fresh air, but they are
subjected to many insults from hounds
who infest the street corners whose sole
object In life is to boast Of their con-
quests over virtue. Here Is the root OF
all the evil that comes to the innocent
maiden. Suppress the lascivious youth
and you protect the virtue Of the girl.
This class of young men are fast be.
coming an intolerable nuisance in
Wheeling, and drastic measures ought
to be instituted to make them move
on" II that don't cure them of their
offensive impertlnence-lock them up.
In connection with thrse reflections
we commend the action Of the mayor of
Piedmont. West Virginia, who gave n
New York travelling man a very salty
dose OF justice for insulting crowd of
ladies in that town. He not only fined
him heavily, but added the penalty OF
thirty days imprisonment In the county
jail. In sentencing the offender the
mayor Of Piedmont expressed his regret
that there was not whipping post law
in West Virginia for such characters,
SO that he could sentence him to under
go forty lashes. In which the Intelligent
Ger heartily concurs.

Promises Being FULFILLED.

The Democratic candidate for the,
presidency In the late campaign was n
typical bird Of evil omen. He saw moth
ing but the dircst consequences attend
ing the triumph Of the principles OF the
Republican party; the future to him
was gloomy pail should Mr.. Mckinley
be reelected. On the other hand the
Republican speakers predicted n con-
tinuation OF the present prosperity with
renewed activity In the near future.
These predictions have been amply full
filled and the apostle OF calamity has
been thoroughly discrctttcd by the mar
velous energy displayed In all branches
of commercial and Industrial business.
Business. It is stated. has kept step

Indian Summer.

The lnnEuid valleys lie asleep,
In n silence calm and deep,
And DER the glen and scdgy rlll
A mystic presence comes to brood
And wells In haze the tar-ofr wood.
And robes In purple every hill.
No butterfly Is on the wing,
And all the birds have ceased to sing.
But still n charm lnvAdcs the scene:
A tender look Is on the earth.
As though II dreamed OF death. or birth.
And Waited patient and serene.
Coifrcl In gold the dying trees
Recall again sweet memories
OF summers flush and glow;
And down the land where astcrs nod
The sumnc and the goldenrod
Are waving gently TO and fro.
The rabbits scurry In the morn,
And In the wIgwAms OF the corn,
The tiny field mice are ut play;
Natures mystery Nils the mir.
And high and low and everywhere
1t claims the solemn night and day.

Sunshine a Good Hair Tsnic

Women sometimes appear to forget
that their hair is their crown Of glory
and that if they neglect to keep It nice
no amount OF money spent on elegant
toilets will make them present a pleas
ant appearance. Hair may look fiuffy
and carelessly arranged, and yet show
that Il IS wen cared for. Some faces
indeed, require an apparently careless
style Of hairdrsssing, but this effect
must be brought about by art, and
never by neglect.
A good tonic for the hair is sunshine
and fresh air. The Greek girls who
sat on the city walls and gave their
hair daily sunbath were wise The
mOdsrn woman can't exactly follow
their example but. at any rate, she
can refrain from tightly braiding her
hair at night and can leave it loose so
that the air may get to It, Then when
she washes her hair, which in Summer
should not be less often than once a
fortnight she can sit in a sunny win
dow till 1T is dry. Sunshine does not
dry the scalp as artificial heat is bound
to do, but it gives life and vigor to the
hair.-Boston Journal.
