Tfaey have placed under monopoly

They have directly ignored tbe
express will of the people of this

tbe creating of a fraudulent and use

They have established class dis
tinctions louuded on wealth, ignor

social equality
TJjey allow bribery to control our
election, and tilled the offices with
corrupt tools ot corporate power.
Tbuy have shamelessly squander
ed the public domain upon soulless

They have given to a money oligar

Chicago, Sept. 20. Ex-Gov. Cbas.
Foster of Ohio is at tbe Grand
Pacific hotel. He said yesterday that
he has practically ahead oaed politics
for a time at least, for the natural
gas business. He is of tbe opinion
that Blaine is making every effort,
to have another contest " for tbe
presidency in 1888. He would ven
ture a prediction as to whether Jr.
Blaine could realize upon bis effort.
Ohio will go into the convention, he
said, solid for Sherman, and they
were well pleased with his prospects.
He said tbe republicans of Ohio
were very much hurt by Gen. Lo
gan's action in the Senate in the
Payne affair, aad it would doubtless
injure him greatly in Ohio should he
be the republican nominee for preeW
deut. He regarded Cleveland's ra
aominatioa as a foregone conclusion.
Gov. Foster is the president of n
company organized for the purpose
or piping natural gas from Finding
O., to ToledoO., a distance of forty
five miles. Tbe company has a
capital stock of 13,000,000, of which
tbe Standard Oil company owns
two-thirds. Tbe plant, composing of
two ten-inch pipes and the neces
sary receivers, aad other fixtures, will
cost 11,250,000. The gaa field, f
which Finlay is the center,' is twenty
five miles long and ive miles wide.
The gas is found in the Trenton
stone when tbe strata is three hun
dred feet below the level of .the .tea.
The field runs from the northweet'to

Salt Lake City, Sept. ,16. '80.
En. Journal, Dear Sir: -In your
issue of Aug. 25th, I notice a reply to
a- letter that I wrote to you in the
same .month. When I wrote that
letter I had no thought of its ever
appeariug in public, but then it is all
right; every word therein staled is
tbe plain, unvarnished truth?" no
matter who lakes exceptions to it.
I deny, most emphatically, that this
people are violators .vf tbe law, for
when they entered into this marriage
relatiou there was no law: against it,
and they entered into it, believing iu
tbe divine command, with au houesl
pure desire to serve God ; but if only
those were prosecuted who have
violated Ihe special law made to meet
Ibis case, this people would have no
fault to find, but tbe judges do not
cou fine themselves to the law, but
make it apply to cases where it was
uever ioleaded to apply; to, l he aged
and infirm, who have raised large and
honorable families, extending into
the third generation, standing on the
brink of the grave ; men of pure and
spotless reputation, who entered into
these marital relations in their youth
ful daya, and have remained true and
faithful to their wives and children;
this law was uever intended to apply
to such cases. These judges demand
that faithful wives, who have thus
reared their families shall be cast out
into a cold and uucharitable world,
without protection or provider. In
the uame of homaniiy can this be
done, can any man bearing tbe name
of man or a baser thing, deny tbe
wife ot bis youth, or tbe comfort of
bis old age? This is what I complain
of, aa being contrary to the spirit and
genins of the constitution, under
which we" claim onr country to be
the home of tha brave and tba land
of tbe free. What were wo sent here
for but to enjoy life, liberty and tbe
pursuit of happiness, so long as we
do not infringe upon the rights of
others? So far as I am personally
concerned, these things do not affect
ma or.mine, but my nature is full of
sympathy for the afflicted and op
pressed ; ibis ought to be the feeling
of every true christian. I desire to
follow io tbe footsteps of the meek
and lowly Jesus, who was despised
aad derided of men, aad even put to
aa ignominious' , death, crucified be
tween two thieves. "Is tbe servant
greater than bis master?" "If ye
were of tbe world tbe world would,
love you, but because you are not of
the world, therefore they bate you."
ii one'of the sayings of our divine
teacher ; he' came not to break the
law bnt to fulfill all righteousness.
I do say that every man living in a
remote part of the country is ignorant
of. the true state of affairs in this
community for afar off, you cannot
depend apon newspaper stories, or
Madam Rumor for tbey are alike
faulty, and in order to say that you
know, yon must go and see for1
yourself, and then in order to be

THE OLD MAID OF TO-DAY.
Cpared With The IVntrmble Sister of
Fornar Yaant.
According to the ideas of things
which prevailed not so very King ago,
the woman who did not marry was a
blighted being. It did not matter
whether she " remained single . from
choice or necessity; for. since it was
considered a woman's only niautfest,
and unalterable destiny to -marry, she
must, of course, be regarded as a fail
ure in life if she did not do this. And'
though she may have refused forty of
fers or marrino, or have had the most
impeative duties of any sort, or devel-
opedLtne most decided talent tor some
vojBibn in' life other1 than marriage,
yet neither one nor all of these would
'have been accepted as a valid reason
whv she should not follow what society
had decided was the only proper course
in life for her. Failing to become the
mistress of her own home she was
doomed to a life of dependence in that
of some friend or relative, a useful crea-
ruildren and did
uu was regarded
with either pitv or contempt "even by
those who profited most directly from
her labor.
From this condition of things there
arose in literature and the minds of
people in general the typical "old
maid." She was always pictured as
gaunt, angular, and forbidding in ap
pearance; morose and ill-tempered in
disposition, as became a blighted and
disappointed being; hating youth and
pleasure of all sorts, with a special
grudge against love-making and lovers,
since they reminded her of her own
vanished youth and the opportunities
which she had never had. or, having.
had1 neglected. The part which she
had played in the story was usually that
of a butt for the other to scratch jokes
upon; or of a, marplot And feminine
villian whom all were glad to see dis
comfited in the end.
But we have changed all that in these
later days. With the education of wom
en and tbe broadening of their oppor
tunities in every way, their destinies
have broadened also. A woman is still,
perhaps, expected first to marry, and it
is best for her that she should, provided
her marriage can be a happy and suit
able.one. But if from her own choice,
or a necessity arising from a lack of
appreciation on the part of the other
and more stupid sex, she remains at the
end of her days what some one calls an
"unclaimed blessing." she is no longer
considered, from this circumstance
alone, a failure and an unhappy crea
ture. She is no longer doomed to a life
of dependence in the house of another,
for a score of vocations are open to her.
in any one of which she may win a
livelihood or even a competence. Con
sequently she commands respect, and
far from being a subject for contempt
or pity, she is more likely the object of
open or secret envy on the part of most
of her married acquaintances.
And so it has come about that tbe
typical old maid of former times has
passed away, and in Ihe literature of to
day we find a new type conforming to
the new ,facts in the case, and quite
different from the old. The modern old
maid is not unular and forbiddinz in
"appearance,-but plump and pleasing.
ahe is not morose and ill-tempered, but
jolly and good-natured to au extent
that makes her the best of compaay. As
she has never had the all-absorbing
cares which come with marriage, and
has no family of sons and daughters
growing up about her to remind her of
the flight of years, she has naturally
forgotten to grow old, and young peo
ple regard her as one of themselves
when good times are being planned;
while in the matter of lovers and love
making she has had that experience
which makes her simply invaluable as
confidant and adviser, and she is the
repository of all the secrets of this sort
which exist within the range of her ac
quaintance. She dresses in exquisite
taste, she pets a pug dog or a white rat,
a golden beetle, or whatever animal
fashion may dictate; she entertains
beautifully; ia idolized by her family,
especially her young nephews; has hosts
of admirer, but is discretion and pro
priety personified; is the guiding spirit
iu orphan asylums, hospital fairs, asso
ciated charity matters, aud other good
works; and, in short, lives out to the
end of her day a happy, useful, well
rounded existence.
The single woman who has her own
way to make in the world, has and
uses no less opportunities, though tbey
lie in different directions. She may be
a teacher, earnest, single-hearted "hav
ing a formative hand mpon the young
minds and hearts of many, and becom
ing the spiritual mother, perhaps, of
tens, scores, hundreds of sons and
daughters.
She may be a scientist, and discover
new wonders in the starry heavens, or
resolve obscure chemical compounds.
She may be a writer of books, which
shall entertain or instruct thousands,
or be privileged to speak the -frequent
word of warning, help, encouragement
to multitudes through tbe columns of
some great newspaper. She may heal
the sick if she have a love and aptitude
for that sort of work; or plead the
cause of the oppressed in court, or
preach repentance to sinners. In fact,
there is nothing she may not do, and
the single woman of to-day is no longer
made to conform to one angular and
disagreeable type, but is broad and
many-sided, as are her present oppor
tunities, so that the "old maids" of to
day form one of the most positive and
potent forces in our modern civilization.

No More Duelling in Soath Carolina.
The cold-blooded, deliberate sort of
murder which was so long tolerated
under the name of the duel has been
eliminated from the record of crimes in
South Carolina. There has been a
marked improvement in this particular
field the miscalled "field of honor"
and the progress that has been made
promises to be permanent With the
suspension of the code duello for so many
years its essentially criminal character
has become more and more clearly un
derstood, and its condemnation tbe
more unqualified and general. There
are few men io South Carolina who
would restore this relic of barbarism to
its former place and favor in the state,
and these few are impotent to accom-
ilish their desire. Juries are yet too
enient in dealing with the man who
comes before them, reeking with the
blood of his fellow-man, slain in tha
heat of passion; but we are very much
mistaken if any duelist would escape
prompt and sure conviction upon trial
in any county of the state.
This is something gained. -The News
and Courier denounced tbe savage cus
tom when it claim. tbe fores of a law;
and did not cease to agitate! agitate!
agitate! until duelling took its rightfal
mace in the catalogue of criknes, where
It stands to-day. For several years there
has sot been a duel in Son& Carolina,

the old dnelling-grouud. This impor
tant change in the public sentiment
was not easily effected. The custom
was of long standing, and had the sup
port of influential men in probably
even' county. Several distinguished
citisens had fallen victims to the evil
practice which they upheld; and young
er men in tbe state were but too dis
posed to defend and maintain it for
the sake of the importance and cheap
consequence it was supposed to confer
upon them, or for higher if mistaken
motives. It was a loug step towards
bringing about the reign of law and
peace when the right sentiment of the
Christian people of South Carolina fin
ally and emphatically asserted itself.

Handkerchiefs.
There never was a time when band
kerchiefs were as beautiful, varied, and
cheap as now.
Lace haudkerchiefs are quite out of

put $100 or 9200 worth oTwork iuto the
embroidering of a handkerchief, it
would, of necessity, be a curiosity; but
it would not be beautiful. The desigu
would be entirely obscured.
Handkerchiefs have been exhibited
for which sums ranging all the way
from $100 to $500 were asked, but it
was quite apparent that the value at
tached to them was fictitious.
Tbe design of a sample handkerchief
is original with the individual who
made it. Yon see tbe exquisite outlin
ing and shading of the leaves, and the
infinitesimal dote that form the back
ground. It is quite impossible for an
adult to see them clearly. The work is
so wonderfully fine that to discern the
stitches it would be necessary to use a
microscope. All the hue lace work: in
the border is done in the genuine
tfrus-
sels lace stitch. It took no less than
three months of steady work, followed
steadily day after day. to finish this
handkerchief.
Fine handkerchiefs are made in
Switzerland, where all of the most ex
pensive embroidery is done, it is per
formed by children between the ages of
9 and 16.
After the age of 1G. and usually as
early as 15 or before, tbe sight becomes
too old to accomplish this hue work.
All the Swiss work .goes in the mar
ket as French. It is handled almost
entirely by French dealers.
The genuine French work is most
beautiful, but tbe designs are usually
less elaborate than the Swiss. The
finest French goods are made entirely
of the best baud-loomed linen in which
there is not a flaw. It is manufactured
with the shuttle in the old-fashioned,
laborious German method. Each thread
is watched, and if the slightest imper
fection occurs it is cast out
Tbe linen from which French hand
kerchiefs are made sells for ."Soto $ti a
yard. The fabric is so absolutely per
fect that to load it with embroidery
would be like "painting the rose." The
delicate tracing of needlework along
the hem and the narrow edging of
Valenciennes are all that it requires.
All lace haudkerchiefs are uo longer
carried. Many, however, are edged
with narrow lace similar to the one
just shown. riiludelphia News.
Art aad Literature In New York.
By the time the next generation ap
pears, private libraries will probably be
very few. The taste for making collec
tions of books in the household certain
ly is not to-day what it was a genera
tion ago. Thirty or forty years past
the place of books in the family was im-
Eortant. Most young people setting up
ousekeeping felt that a few volumes to
set off tbe parlor or sitting-room were
aa essential as the usual furniture, and
the beginning thus made was generally
followed up as tbe household grew. A
taste for books was regarded as an evi
dence of social merit, and visitors were
shown tbe library, whether large or
little, with as much satisfaction as is
taken in showing pictures and bric-a
brae to-day. The literary taste as shown
in this way was even stronger a genera
tion earlier, and collections were made
which would not be thought of at -the
present time. It was customary then
not only to read books, but to keep
them as heirlooms from one generation
to another. But the taste in this re
spect has undergone a great change.
Ait has taken place of literature in the
average house. Instead of well-filled
book shelves in a special place there are
pictures and varieties of bric-a-brac all
over tbe house. There may be as much
reading done as ever, but its form, in
the book sense is wholly different Tbe
cheap libraries have played the mis
chief with substantial volumes. These
are bought to read, not kept, and when
read they are thrown away or sold for
old paper. They must oe of a light sort
too, else they won't be read at all. All
the publishers complain that solid books
do not sell any more, except in a limit
ed way. The literary taste of the time
is very much like the theatrical taste.
Tbe demand is for the kind of plays to
laugh at and not think of at all. The
change becomes more marked every
year, and there is no reason to tbiuk it
will not continue. for. Detroit Free

Card-Playing Girls.
There are so many ways in which
girls can be amusingentertaining, and
useful to themselves and others that it
seems a great pity, says the Philadel
phia Ledger, that' anv of them should
resort to the common vices of coarse
r-men. That they do so in the eveuing
entertainments of private and elegant
homes, and at tbe most fashionable
summer-resorts, appears .to be beyond
question. And that the results will ap
pear in unlooked-for demoralizations in
the future of what is called good society
may be set down as among the certain
ties of natural law. Young ladies may
not be expressly susceptible to such
prosy moral arguments, but they should
not forget that tbe young men who
gamble with 'them, and who appear to
enjoy the fun, lose their respect for
young ladies in the exact, measure that
the latter cease to be governed by tbe
fine womanly feelings and staudards of
character. Men may laugh at the
shrewd uess of a girl in a game of cards
for stakes, but sue is not the girl they
would trust or honor or that they care
to marry. That is an argument to the
quick, and may find its way home.
The man who marries a gambling girl
is already an incipient suitor iu a di

The Coadacfor'a Jaw Dropped.
One of those smart Alexanders who
travel on cheek and the iaability of the
public to change $20 bills for a glass of
soda or four tobies got-on a Fenn
avenue car the other day and tendered
the aforesaid S'-'O for his fare. Of
course the conductor could not change
it. aud so he got bis ride free. This
was repeated until the conductor got
tired of it, and after the fourth or fifth
time ot its repetition he determined to
get even with the fellow. By visiting
the toll-bouses, and by other means un
known, the manipulator of the bell
punch managed to scrape up $1!).95 iu
pennies.
Placing these in a little bucket he
quietly awaited the appearance of his
victim, having posted the driver aud
some other intimate friends who hap
pened to be on board. YVhe,n the un
suspecting young man witlfthe plethoric
pocketbook" put in an apearance and
promptly produced the '"M" with mauy
apologies the conductor pocketed the
bill aud produced his little bucket, and
amid the grins of the spectators pre
sented" it to his customer. - The young
man looked pretty cheap, ami. after
feeliug the heft of the bucket, thought
fully got off the car aud disappeared
around a corner. Then the conductor .
took the bill from his pocket aud pro
ceeded to fold it up nicely, so that it
would lit iuto a convenient comer of his
pocketbook. Something in the appear
ance of the bill caught Lis eye, aud. as
he examined it a little closer, his jaw
dropped about a foot. The bill was of
the genus denominated by the- sporting
fraternity as queer." The young man
hud also been laying for thu couuuetor.

you that there are to be found the larg

will let 3'oit go there and learn these

What 1 want to tell you is that the In

the world.' aud that their "sign lan

of it to enable him to understand any

iu a tepee, and through the kindly aid

to make me write as 1 do. Wheu an

depresses it three or. four inches. How
could he more quickly or expressively
say "I am down-hearted." When he
wants to tell yon that lie speaks truth
fully he puts his hand to las mouth and
extends his arms in a direct line, thus .
implying that his talk is "straight." If
he wishes to say that a speech is untrue.
instead of extending his hand direct, lie
twists it from side to side, thus showing
that the talk is "crooked." All the

Hygeia in the Dog-Day.
While ruminating over a pipe on the
eveniug of one of the dog-days, the
thermometer being above 80 decrees in
the shade. 1 have wondered what the
goddess liyeeia would have done, and
what she would have recommended un
der the circumstances, for purposes of
health and comfort. She wouldn't have
eaten roast duck, 1 know; but how
would she have combated the heat, by
wy of keeping herself cool? Would
she have swallowed haggis and cock
leekiu in north Britain, ham and beef
in Yorkshire, and trim and onions in
Loudon? Not a bit of it. llygcia had
too much restect for herself as a god

he cried. "Vot you dink? He went oop

A New England Girl.
Miss Mary K. Wilkius. who lives in
Randolph, Mass.. is described by the
Bostou Literary World us being petite,
with soft golden hair, blue eyes, and a
color which conies and oes as she
talks. She i.s shy and retiring, but is
self-possessed and holds her own iu con
versation, in which he- piquancy and
her gift at repartee appear to excellent
advantage. As a writer of stories with
a pronounced New England tlavor she
excells to such a degree that competent
critics mention her in this relation iu
connection with Mrs. Stowe and Mrs.
Cooke, while iu theliueof fanciful verse
her success is assured.
