HI TltE TlUBUNB admires and commendr 3 tlC quality of Ilepn-sentative Wilcox' Hjfi nerve and coiiscieiitlouunswerving : B devotion to plain duty in his firm tUm ; < l H | | on the matter of submission , now tin Hjf all-absorbing question agitating the pen * fj pie and the legislature of this common HI wealth. Despite tempting bribes , per H sistenu coercion and insistent friendh Hfe ( persuasion , he stands firm for the un § 1 niistakably instructions of his constitu Hi ency , and all this in the Face of mosi 8 powerful opposition from warm fricnd.- 1 and supporters. His duty is clearand n Representative Wilcox has chosen t Ha follow it. His course will meet with the H sincere apyroval of a large portion of itii- B constituency , and of all men who ad H mire manly action under most adverse B and depressing circumstances. H Hera's to Senator Lindsay's Health. H | Senator Lindsay's efforts in the mat BB ter of submission will endear him to si 1 very large and intelligent and respect i able element of his constituency. The jf Senator has taken and ably sustained a Hj manly and active course in this pro- M foundly important question , against the m recognized opposition of powerful H friends. The Senator has exhibited' g nobly the strength of his convictions on T a vital moral question , whiuh entitle. Bi him to and secures him a strong hold on jf the hearts of the people of this district H To show the length to which the H anti-submissionists will go to defeat the D submission measure , we have it on H unquestionable authority that Rkprk H SENTATIVE Wilcox of this county has H been made the object of the infamous H bribe-giver an offer of $500 having H been tendered him to vote against the H bill , it is said. HI Senator Lindsay and Uefresen- Hl tative Wilcox are "all right" for H submission. H SUBMISSION IT IS AND BY j REP. WILCOX' VOTE. P'l Toe question now nutating tlio pcnplc of Hff Hujes Centre is , ' ( 'an u man be a cheatnui Hfj' \ / without wearing gnty whiskers ? " K ] _ | | Senator Don Camckon has many nn By unique way of inviting * his fellow stnutots to Hii dinner , und a dinner at ihudistiiiKui-hedsen- HJI ator's home is sntuethlnj- to be despised Hb Approachiutr a brother senator the oilier du.\ Hj he prefaced an invitation tiv the query-Have you trot a clean shin ? " Itioovulent I mm lint- that the senator sometimes goes ouibiUe bib n party with his invitations. Hi The f-qual suffragists have appeared at HJ Washington , and a committee in the interest Hb of that movement appeared before the Senate Hi committeoSaturday , with the warning tbut.it HJ their demands wete not acceded to , they HE would renew their importunities for tweiitj HE years to come. This leads a malicious ex- HE change to observe : "If these estimable lutliet- K will only conflue themselves to the United Hjf States Senate , tbe people will rise up and can HR them blessed. That body as now constitute * ! B | deserves any fate whicb uiereilebb justice can B visit upon it. " K Following the example of tbe attorney B general of New York in bringing suit against B tbe sugar trust , it is reported to be tbe iuteii- j tion of the attorney general of Ohio to bring H suit in the supreme court of that state to re- B voke the charter of the Standard OH company B and tbe Barber Match company , both of which B organized under * he laws of Ohio A proced - B ing of this kind would be more generally inter- Hj esting than that in New York , chieily b > tea- B sou of the immense power and influence of R the Stundard company , particularly in Ohio. B The attorney general is said tu lack some testi B mony in order to enable him to decide on a B definite line of action , and it will not bo stir B prising if bo never flntle the required tebti- mony. _ _ _ _ _ - H If physical training is uecssury to secure H the best types of men , it is equally important HI as an agent toward securing the fullest devcl- Hj * ' opment of women. Furthermore , most men H are engaged in tbe struggle for material gains , B and are obliged to confine themselves to ef- v H forts prescribed for tbem by the division of B' labor. Tbe tendencies of our civilization is to H warp , twist and belittle men with the stamp H of their occupation. Leisure for physical cui- H tureforits own sake can only come with in B crease of wealth , and this will ever be in the H possession of thu minority. At the present H time women as a class have more lelsuie than H men for self-improvement , and we must look H to them to help nn the higher evolution or H mind and body * not only in perteeting them- j selves , but in helping to perfect others. H A heading Journal of Calilornin snys that H the bane or that state has been ppeculHtinti and H a desire and expectation on the part of loo H many of its people to get rich Puddenly. This H spirit has resulted in the creat.on of unhealthy H "booms" and a selQ h and narrow rivalry H which has sprung up in competing sections to H the seriHUS injury of the state at large. The H state bus agricultural and other resources H which are adequate to the support or six mil- B lion people in com Tort and happiness , but H what is needed there are workers who are wilf- K ing to earn their bread and wait for the re- B wards of legitimate accumulation. Tbe col- B lapse in California proves very conclusively B that thero can be no endut Ing prosperity with- B ont honest toll , and that tbe growth of * any B state is dependent upon the efforts of those B who have the patience to apply themselves to H the development of the resources uhieh na- B ture has provided , and which nothing but la- ' B bof can render available.

BriKvn : I had just the same experience , until I read one of the Ivory Soap advertisements , about too much alkali in some soaps , which draws the natural oil from the skin and leaves it dry and lia ble to crack , so I sent out and got a cake of Ivory Soap , and found it all the advertisement promised ; my hands are soft and smooth the year round. A WORD OF WARNING. There are rmny white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory' j" they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine.
