COURT HOUSE GROUNDS.

The failure of the commissioners to ap
prOpriate money for the improvement
and proper adornment of the grounds of
the new court house, because there IS no
money available for the purpose, is to be
lamented, though in fairness it cannot be
condemned. As matters stand with us
now, it would perhaps be unwisc to press
the matter. even if there were any way
in which the officials could raise the
money.
The pity Of il is what troubles most
Of us-the great pity of it. The new build
ing, architecturally speaking, has no SUI
perior either in point of beauty or i'll
point of its adoption to the purposes
for which it was constructed, among the
court houses Of Texas. Brownsville, was,
and is. proud of Though it is not a

county owns it.

sons for the contrast between the beauty

to relieve the situation. Although not
a municipal institution, il may be that
the civic league could start and carry
forward a movement for r"iSing funds
for identifying the property. The move

over the country as well as in Browns

MINOR-KEYED PROPHETS.

Lamenting what he believes to be the
modern trend of American women in the
direction of the eternal bow-wOws, an ex
change remarks:-
The good women Of the country
should organize against the immoral
and degenerating fad, and if their
protest fail, then the matter should
he taken up by the authorities. The
thing should be stamped out, and as
prompt and vigorous methods should
be used as prevail in epidemics Of
cholera or yellow fever.
To this shocked, outraged, and des-
pondent person. the Herald has just one
brief bit Of advice to offer.
Shut up"
Or. to borrow an injunction from the
good HooSier poet.
"Shet up and eat yer vittles
If so be the good lady of the house will
be gracious enough to prepare victual for
a chump to chawmp.

not written by any on the Herald

DAYS when hoop-Skirts were fashionable.

that in the country district where the
writer lived, the girls sewed grapevines

the balloon sleeve; and 50 also with the
patches and pomatums. the hair powder
aud the red heeled shoes that went before
all these things. Never a change of fash
ions since the world began that did not
start some minor prophet propheSying in
a minor KEY. Shut up. Our wives, mothers
sisters and daughters will do as their
mothers and grandmotherS before them:
wear what they Jolly well please, and
all the minorkcyed prophets, and all

all the j~okeSmithS in the world shall
not be able to stop them. And they will
still be good, clean hearted, honest.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-Indian-

street car lines are tied up tight. The
men struck during the night because
the company refused their demands
for better pay and working conditions.
When an attempt was made today to
run street cars under police protection,
strike sympathizers gathered at trans
fer points, hooted the passengers and
crews and pulled the trolleys off the
wires. Traffic was finally practically
abandoned.
Officials announced today that
train load of strike-breakers was being
gathered in Chicago and with their ar
rival serious trouble is expected.
Six persons were slightly injured in
street fighting this morning and
