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

but scientific fish culture has restored
to them an abundant supply, greatly

of Bmall means.

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.

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

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. Y. Adver

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.
