tabernacle pulpit. DR. talmace on thetracedy OF DRESS. Crime* Innumerable Have Their Origin In the Craving* of Uen and Women for Flue lire**—Arnold Hetrayed HI* Country for HI* Wife'* Attire. Brooklyn, Aug. 5.—Rev. Dr. Tal 'tnage, who is now in Melbourne, Aus tralia, on his round-the-world tour, has chosen as the subject of his sermon for to-day through the press: “The Tragedy of Dress,’’ the text selected being I. Pet., iii; 3-4: “Whose adorn ing let it not be that outward adorn ing of plaiting the hair, and the wear ing of gold, or of putting on of ap parel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart.” That we should all be clad is proved by the opening of the first wardrobe in Paradise, with its apparel of dark green. That we should all, as far as our means allow us, be beautifully and gracefully appareled, is proved by the fact that God never made a wave but he gilded it with golden sunbeams, or a tree but he garlanded it with blossoms, or a sky but he studded it with stars, or allowed even the smoke of a furnace to ascend but columned and turreted and domed and scrolled it into outlines of indescrib able gracefulness. When I see the apple orchards of the spring and the pageantry of the autumnal forests I come to the conclusion that if nature ever does join the church, while she may be a Quaker in the silence of her worship, she never will be a Quaker in the style of her dress. Why the notches of a fern leaf, or the stamen of a water lily? Why, when the day departs, does it let the folding doors of heaven stay open so long, when it might go in so quickly? One summer morning I saw an army of a million s»>cars, each one adorned with a dia mond of the first water—I mean the grass with the dew on it. When the prodigal came home his father not only put a coat on his hack but jew elry on his hand. Christ wore a heard. Paul, the bachelor apostle. not afflicted with any sentimentality, admired the arrange ment of a woman's hair when he said, in his epistle, "If a woman have long hair, it is a glory unto her.” There will be a lasnion in neaven as on earth, but it will be a different hind of fashion. It will decide the color of the dress; and the population of that cotin try, by a beautiful law, will wear white. I say these things as a background to my sermon, to show you that I have no prim, precise, prudish or cast iron theories on the subject of human apparel. But the goddess of fashion has set up her throne in this world, and at the sound of the timbrels we are all expected to fall down and worship. The old and new testament of her Bible are the fashion plates. Her altars smoke with the sacrifice of the bodies, minds and souls of ten thousand victims. In her temple four people stand in the organ loft, and from them there comes down a cold drizzle of music, freezing on the ears of her worshipers. This goddess of fashion has become a rival of the Lord of heaven and earth, and it is high time that we unlimbered our batteries against this idolatry. When I come to count the victims of fash ion, I find as many masculine as femi nine. Men make an easy tirade against woman, as though she were the chief worshiper at this idolatrous shrine, and no doubt some men in the more conspicuous part of the pew have al ready cast glances at the more retired part of the pew, their look a prophecy of a generous distribution. My ser mon shall be as appronriate for one cud of the pew as for the other. Men are as much the idolators of fashion as women, but they sacrifice on a different part of the altar. With m< n the fashion goes to cigars and club rooms and yachting parties and wine suppers. In the United States the men chew up and smoke one hun dred millions of dollars’ worth of to bacco every year. That is their fash ion. In London, not long ago, & man died who started in life with seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, but he ate it all up in gluttonies, sending his agents to all parts of the earth for some rare delicacy for the palate, sometimes one plate of food costing him three or four hundred dollars. He ate up his whole fortune, and only one guinea left; with that he bought a woodcock, and had it dressed in the very best style, ate it, gave two hours for digestion, then walked out on Westminster bridge and threw himself into the Thames, and died, doing on a large scale what you and I have often seen done on a small scale. But men do not abstain from millinery and elaboration of skirt through any superiority of humility. It is only because such apendages would be a blockade to business VMiat would sashes and trains three and a half yards long do in a stock market? And yet men are the disci ples of fashion just as much as women. Some of them wear boots so tight they can hardly walk in the pt|ths of righteousness. And there are men who buy expensive suits of clothes and never pay for them, and who go through the streets in great gtripes of color like animated checker boards. 1 say these things because I want to show you that 1 am impartial in toy discourse, and that both sexes, in the language of the surrogate’s of fice, shall “share and share alike.” As God may help me, I shall show you what are the destroying and deathful influences of inordinate fashion. The first baleful influence I notice is in fraud, illimitable and ghastly. Do you know that Arnold of the revolu tion proposed to sell this country in order to get money to support his •wife’s wardrobe.’ ’declare here be fore God* and this people that the effort to keep up expensive establish ments in this country is sending more business men to temporal perdition than all other causes combined. What was it that sent Gilman to the peniten tiary, and Philadelphia Morton to the watering of stocks, and the life insurance presidents to perjured state ments about their assets,and has com pletely upset our American finances? What was it that overthrew the United States secretary at Washington, the crash of whose fall shook the conti nent? But why should I go to these famous defaultings to show what men will do in order to keep up great home style and expensive wardrobe, when you and 1 know scores of men who are put to their wits’ end, and are lashed from January to December in the attempt Our politicians may theorize until the expiration of their terms of office as to the best way of improving onr monetary condition in this country; it will be of no use, and things will be no better until we learn to put on our heads, and backs, and feet, and hands no more than we can pay for. There are clerks in stores and banks on limited salaries who, in the vain at tempt to keep the wardrobe of their family as showy as other folk’s ward robes, are dying of mulls, and dia monds, and shawls, and high hats, and they have nothing left except what they give to cigars and wine suppers, and they die before their time and they will expect us ministers to preach about them as though they were the victims of early piety, and after a high class funeral, with silver handles at the side of the coffin, of extraordinary brightness, it will be found out that the undertaker is cheated out of his legitimate expenses! Do not send mo to preach a funeral sermon of a man who dies like that I blurt out the whole truth, and tell that he was strangled to death by his wife’s ribbons! Our countries are dressed to death. You are not sur prised to find that the putting up of one public building in New York cost millions of dollars more than it ought to have cost, when you find that the man who gave out the contracts paid more than $500,000 for his daughter’s wedding dress. Cashmeres of $1,000 each are not rare on Broadway. It is estimated that there aie 10,0o0 women in these two cities who have expended on their personal array $4,000 a year! vvnat are men to no m order to Keep up such wardrobes'? Steal—that is the only respectable thing they can do! During the last fifteen years there have been innumerable fine businesses shipwrecked on the wardrobe. The temptation comes in this way: A man thinks more of his family than of all the world outside, and if they spend the evening in describing to him the superior wardrobe of the family across the street, that they can not bear the sight of, the man is thrown on his gallantry and on his pride of family, and, without translating his feelings into plain language, he goes into ex tortion and issuing of false stock, and skillful penmanship in writing some body else's name at the foot of a promissory note; and they all go down together—the husband to the prison, the wife to the sewing machine, the children to be taken care of by those who were called poor relations. O! for some new Shakespeare to arise and write the tragedy of human clothes. Act the first of the tragedy.—A plain but beautiful home. Enter, the newly-married pair. Enter, simpli city of manner and behavior. Enter, as much happiness as is ever found in one home. Act the second.—Discontent with the humble home. Enter, envy. Enter, jealousy. Enter, desire of dis play. Act the third. —Enlargement of ex penses. Enter all the queenly dress makers. Enter, the French milliners. Act the fourth.—The tip-top of society. Eater, princes and princesses of high life. Enter, magnificent plate and equipage. Enter, everything splendid. •act, tne nun, ana last. — winning up of the scene. Eater, the assignee. Enter, the sheriff. Enter, the credi tors. Enter, humiliation. Enter, the wrath of God. Enter, the contempt of society. Enter, death. Now, let the silk curtain drop on the stage. The farce is ended and the lights are out. Will you forgive me if I say in tersest shape possible that some of the men have to forge and to perjure and to swindle to pay for their wives’ dresses? I wrill say it, whether you forgive me or not. Again, inordinate fashion is the foe of all Christian alms-giving. Men and women put so much in personal display that they often have nothing for God and the cause of suffering humanity. A Christian man cracking his Palais ltoyal glove across the back by shutting up his hand to hide the 1 ceiit he puts into the poor-box! A Christian woman, at the story of the Hottentots, crying copious tears into a S--5 handkerchief, and then giving a 2 cent piece to the collection, thrust ing it down under the bills so people will not know but it was a J10 gold piece! One hundred dollars for in cense to fashion; 2 cents for God. God gives us 90 cents out of every dol lar. The other 10 cents by command of his Bible belong to him. Is not God liberal according to this tithing system laid down in the Old Testa men—is not God liberal in giving us 90 cents out of SI, when he takes but ten? We do not like that We want to have 99 cents for ourselves and 1 cent for God. The waters of Germany, France, En gland, Ireland and Scotland, thirty years ago, were almost fished out, and their fish supply was well nigh exhausted; but scientific fish culture has restored to them an abundant supply, greatly cheapening this valuable *ood for people of Bmall means. Scotch Presbyterians require their missionaries to China to return home once in seven years. REPUBLICAN MATTERS. THE PARTY OP ANARCHY. Populists Have Definitely Ranged Them selves on the Side of Lawlessness. The Populist party is now well defined as the party of anarchy. It seems a strange thing that in this country, where free institutions have obtained their widest and worthiest expression, there should be a body of organized men to ma^e free institutions impossible bv fight ing for the wildest license. There is no country and no government in the world, for instance, that could stand the strain of what we have been through of late, if it were to be continuous. The utter insecurity of property and life and the embargo laid upon the transaction of ordinary bus iness would make life intolera ble. The most devoted servitor of liberty would, if this condition wero chronic, deliberately seek refuge in any other form of despotism rather than to invite this lowest and vilest form. For that is what it is. No reasoning man can have any doubt of what are the forces at work or what would be the meaning of the triumph of the elements that de manded recognition as paramount in these United States. There are various sorts of tyrannies; but wo can think of none more unbearable than the unlimited sway of a band of men who declared all but them selves outlaws, and held that all out side of their order were not entitled to enjoy life or liberty or the pur suit of happiness. Several times the world has seen established the rule of just such an element as this, and every time it has made a black page in history and held back the progress of the race. JNow the only party to recognize, to commend, to sympathize with this unholy crusade for the subversion of liberty is the l’opulist party, says the !tt. Paul Pioneer Press. These disturbances, this demand for the overthrow of those liberties that were fought for so bravely and have been held so precious, are dear to its hope. It is an organized ex pression of all the envy, the hatred, the malice, the uncharitableness that can find resting place in the human heart. It is the party of organized robbery, seeking to take from every man his property and from the laborer his wage by debasing the currency. It is the party of organ ized rapine, demanding the confisca tion of private property by the gov ernment. It is the party of organ ized despotism, holding that the acts of legislatures an! the decisions of courts do not bind its memtiers in the least. It encourages riot. and over the hideous acts of murder and arson it paints a beautiful picture of that human lib erty to which it would give the death blow. There is no stronger il lustration of the swiftness and steep ness of the downward way than tho rise and progress of this People’s par ty. Once committed to the policy of financial dishonor and sworn to the gospel of hate, it has gone on to the ratification of all those acts that be- j long to the brutal side of humanity, , and that society has punished and j attempted to prevent for ages, as a condition of making it possible for ; men to live together. The Populist party is an embodiment of all that is worst in human nature. Its rise in this country is a sad measure of the distance that American character has wandered from the old type, the old ideal, toward a type that is low er than even that of the old world. TVe Know Where We St anti. And now that this cruel war is over in this brutal form of a contest of lawless against lawful force and is henceforth to be carried by Pop ulism into politics, it is well to recognize the important service it has performed in leaving the posi tion of the parties to the con diet clearly defined. On one side stands the triple alliance of Populism. A. R. U.-ism and Anarchy, differing in their immediate aims, but all united in the Populist party by one common bond, in the common purpose of subverting by force the authority of law and all legal and constitutional safeguards for the rights of property. —Pioneer Press. Hand* Off! The establishing of the Hawaiian republic simply means that Presi dent Cleveland’s claim to jurisdic tion and eminent domain has been contemptuously denied by the people of those islands. All of which is revolutionary, of course, but the citizens of the new government may console themselves with the reflec tion that a republic that hasn’t been preceded by a revolution is rarely worth having. —N. Y. Tribune. Good an<l (Sufficient Reason. The fact that Governor hewelling has had nothing to say in condemna tion of Pullman, and the further fact that the Populist state officials, act ing as a board of assessment, re duced the Pullman taxes one-third while at the same time increasing other railroad taxation, indicates very strongly that the Kansas ad ministration and the Pullman com pany are doing business in "cahoot.,r An Infallible Remedy. The fate of Lavor Commissioner Todd is a warning that will not go unheeded. When Populist officials find that boisterous abuse of the railroads results in revocation of their passes- that sort of demagogy will suddenly cease in Kansas.— Kansas City Journal. A Kind of Ghost Dance. Secretary Gresham’s attempt to explain his betrayal and repudiation of American obligations in Samoa is the most unga nly performance he has ever presented. As compared with it. even his picturesque squirm ing from underneath the overturned throne of Hawaii was a regular Hula dance of dignl.y and grace. THE CLAY IS CRUMBLINC. Democrats Can Nor Help But See Wliut Cirover In Made of. Two years ago the Democrats thought they saw in drover Cleve land one of the greatest statesmen of the age. They supported him en thusiastically for the presidency, and when he was elected they believed that a political milleniuui had dawned. But there has been a great change, and now ho has hardly a frieod in his party. He has been found out. A correspondent of the Philadel phia Press reports a conversation which he says he had a short time ago with a prominent Pastern Dem ocrat. in which the latter accounted tor the fact that Mr. Celvcland has lost his influence with the members of the house of representatives, of whom this Democrat is one. The congressman said: “But it was about this change in Cleveland you asked me. I don't think there has been any change except in health. We have simply discovered the real Cleveland. We have learned that he has magnificent capacity to say what shall not or what ought not to be done, but that he has no ability to suggest the things that should be done. He is absolutely without constructive force. He is without original resource. He can destroy, but he can’t build up. He can sug gest nothing but glittering gener alities.” l'his 12 very good in tlie main, but the wonder is that the Democrats were so long in finding it out. In telligent Republicans saw long ago that Cleveland was a humbug, and they declared so openly and without hesitation. The New York .Sun was al most the only Democratic paper that recognized that he was a “stuffed prophet.” To a majority of Demo crats and to all the mugwumps, he was qualified to rank with Washing ton, Jefferson and Lincoln. They were unable to see that he was great only in physical weight. Although the Democrats are dis gusted wiJi Cleveland, says the Denver Republican, they cannot escape responsibility for his blunder ing administration any more than the Populists in Colorado can escape responsibility for Governor Waite. They will have to bear the burdens he has cast upon them, and in this consists the only thing for which the country has reason to thank him. He has ruined the Democratic party and opened the way for a return of the Republican party to power. Mr. Cleveland has been exposed so completely that there is now a pros pect that ho will take his proper place in history. At one time there was danger that the next gen eration would bo led in reading his tory to believe that in Cleveland the United States had one of the world’s great statesmen. It would be a gross misrepresentation of the facts. Rut that danger seems to be about passed. Cleveland will grow small er and smaller in public estimation the longer he lives. Democratic Kesponsibilitv. Mr. Charles A. Dana, new in Paris, has the honor of setting the French men right in relation to the real causes of the “American strike,” which our Gallic neighbors have ex aggerated into a revolution, threaten ing the very framework of the repub lic. The ‘-reicauiic character” of these reports Mr. Dana properly rebukes in an interview in the Matin. Readers of the Sun, who are, pre sumably. Democrats, will recognize in liis explanation cf the causes of the difficulty some not unfamiliar reason ing, and in addition to it some con fessions not before made. “The Democratic party,” says Mr. Dana, “has a measure of responsi bility for certain events, for it is in a certain way responsible for the commercial crisis from which wc are suffering.” This, we believe, is the first semi-official acknowledgment made by any Democrat of high standing that the present and past business depression cf the country has been brought about through Democratic agencies. The fact, however, is not doubtful, and Mr. Dana’s esteemed contemporaries of the Democratic faith Deed no longer feel it incumbent on them to re iterate their denials of what he, as their leader, so ingenuously pro claims. The “measure" of the re sponsibility, they may add, is full to overflowing. ••me Democratic party, the charge proceeds, “has belied all its promises.” That is a truism with which no Republican and few honest Democrats will take issue, nor will any intelligent person who wishes to be be lieved, dissent from this conclusion; “The resuit is a general unrest, which is one of the causes of the present troubles.” A pol'tical party that habitually keeps the country in a state of “gen eral unrest” by “belying all its promises," as Democracy is doing, is an excellent party oo keep out of power. Mr Diana’s frank confession of the responsibility of Democracy, hoth by its betrayal of trust and its encouragement of the anarchical spirit, for the condition of business and for the Chicago riots is the first product of Democracy that it need not be ashamed of. —-N.

UNCLE SAM NEUTRAL. The United States Will Protect Its Com merce and Subjects In Corea. Washington, Aug. 0.—A strong de nial is entered at the state depart ment of the published story that the United States has or will enter into a treaty with European powers to forcibly occupy and keep open the treaty ports of China. It is also de nied that any overtures to that end have come to us from other countries. When the conditions were such that war was only threatened the United States did use its good offices to avert the evil. It did so to carry out a sol emn obligation imposed upon us by the treaty with Corea, whereby we bound ourselves to protect Corea in the following terms: “If other pow ers deal unjustly or oppressively with either government the other will exert their good offices on being in formed of the case to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings.” This obliga tion was entered into in 188:1, and it was under its terms that the president indicated to Japan that he would be pained should she inflict an unjustnvar upon Corea. That was as far as the United States could go in the interest of our good offices, and besides, the shifting of the war cloud from Corea to China relieved us from the necessity of further action. It is said at the state department the attitude of the United States to ward the belligerents in the present war will be patterne.l upon our course at Itio. We will side witli neither China uor Japan, but as was indicated by Mr. l’ayard, our ambassador to Great Britain, who is fully aware of what is goiag on, the attitude of the United States will be one of “benevolent neutrality.” This is in keeping with our traditions and its prudence and safety lias been amply demonstrated in the past. As far as our own commerce is con cerned we will accord it such measure of protection and immunity from in terference as may be justly claimed as our rights, but the present disposi tion at the state department is to do this individually, and not in connec tion with other European nations. AVENGED HER HONOR. A Kansas Girl Kills the Man She Accused of a Grave Crime. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 6.—A dispatch received here last night from Norton, Kan., gives the story of the killing of Eugene McEnroe by Miss Ella Lunney at the Thuraa school house near Le nora. Miss Lunney had McEnroe arrested on a charge of outrage. Her story is to the effect one night last week McEnroe criminally assaulted her. McEnroe’s preliminary hearing on the charge was Set before Esquire Thuraa at Thuma school house. When the time set for the trial arrived a large crowd of neighbors had gath ered to hear it. Miss Lunney arrived with her mother. Seeing young Mc Enroe sitting at one of the desks, she immediately went up to him and fired four shots into his body, causing in stant death. The youthful murderess was arrested. Her mother and John McNeff’e are also held as accomplices. McNeff'e admits furnishing the girl with the revolver with which she did the killing. McEnroe’s friends claim he was in nocent of the deed leading to his death, and boldly charge that Mc Neffe is the guilty party. Public sentiment is decidedly against Mc Neff’e, while a few believe McEnroe guilty. Miss Lunney is a well educated woman of IS, who is well spoken of by all who know her. Her father is one of the substantial farmers of Almilo township. The parents of the young people have been neighbors and friends for many years. Tom lire '.I Cannot Com-.

The following answers xvere received by an English paper in response to a request for opinions as to when to stop advertising: When the population ceases to mul tiply and the generations that crowd on after you and never heard of you stop coming on. When you have convinced everybody whose life will touch yours that you have better goods and lower prices than they can get anywhere else. When you perceive it to be the rule that men who never advertise are out stripping their neighbors in the same line of business. When men stop making fortunes right in your sight solely through the direct use of the mighty agent. When you can forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful bus ness men concerning the main cause of their prosperity. Watering stock is the only aquatic pur suit in which some people exee!.
