COL. Henry Watterson says the great need of the Democrat is new leaders. In this State they need folio-.vers as badly as leaders.

THE Indiana corn crop is estimated at 100,000,000 bushels,-:or about 50 bushels for each inhabitant. Hoosiers will not starve and they can rejoice in the-fact that as an all round productive State Indiana is hard to beat.

THE rain last Saturday night was a magnificent one for the corn. The rains of the last few days have made Hancock county certain'for a fine corn crop, which will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the connty. The rains, however, spoiled a large number -of small potatoes, Which will not be regretted.

EX-CONGRESSMAN JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, of Frankfort, who is an ardent silver advocate and one of the best posted men in the State politically, challenged W. D. Bynum for a joint discussion of the silver question at Bockville, but Mr. Bynum promptly declined. That showed" better judgment than* one would expect from Bynum. Mr. Cheadle would be altogether too strong for Bynum and would have a big majority of the people on his Side both at the opening and closing, especially the latter.

IT is hinted that the' 'Sound Currency" committee of the New York Reform Club is paying W. D. Bynum $50 a night for his so-called sound money or gold bug speeches in this State. There may be a few simple-minded Hoosiers, but a man who made five congressional campaigns as a free silver man as did Bynum, can not hoodwink many, even of that class. His flop was too sudden and too complete lor bis speeches to be very convincing. Everyone knows somebody is behind Bynnm pulling the string, and .that he is out for Bynum's personal Interest and aot the good of the people.

M. A. FRY,

THE paper published in a city the size of Greenfield is usually local in its character. Necessarily the news and editor ials are sometimes somewhat meager when the principal work devolves upon one man. The very people as a rule who complain of this state of affairs might make the paper fresh and suggestive if the would write short articles of local interest. There are many persons here among the ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, business men and others who can assist our city and people in making greater progress. They can do so by freely contributing to the columns of the local paper those things they have in mind which would be beneficial to the community. Hereafter when you feel that the REPUBLICAN does not contain all that it should, instead of growling and complaining, write up your ideas and send them in for publication. If you would be quite beneficial to the life of the community. Remember, now, those of you who have the leisure, the desire and ability are asked to use the REPUBLICAN as a vehicle for influencing your fellowcitizens.

THE Tribune on Saturday speaks of an article in the REPUBLICAN as slurring the poor, when the very quotation they use proves their statement incorrect. At Detroit last spring at the instance of Mayor Pingue, a large number of owners of vacant lots offered the free use of the land and the city furnished the money to buy seed potatoes for all people who* needed potatoes and wanted the opportunity to raise them. The result was not a success as few attempted to raise potatoes, and late dispatches from Detroit say the attempt to assist the poor in that way was a failure. The following statement which we made was, £nd is borne out by the above facts and IS no slur, but the plain truth. The quotation the Tribune gave was as follows: "Few potatoes were planted, as the poor did pot want them that way. The paeplie there, who stand in need of potatoes do hot care for them unless some one else furnishes the s- ei, the land and the work neccessary and then delivers the potataes right at the door ready for use."

The above statement simply refers to the Detroit poor and the failure of the potato plan there shows that it is true. If a large number had not been

Table

work the Mayor, who is a bright man and a leader in reform movements, would never have taken so muchpain to secure land and money to give those in need an opportunity to assist themselves. The REPUBLICAN never intentionally slurs anyone. It does not believe in that style, as it is mean and contemptible. It does however state facts occasionally which are not relished by 'those whom they concern, but it is the actions themselves that are bad and cause the trouble, not the statement of them.

The Good Citizenship Meeting—Hon. S. E. Nicholson Addresses A Large Audience.

Last evening the M. E. church was crowded to hear the address of Hon. S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo, on "Good Citizenship." He is the author of the famous Nicholson bill, and in addition to a general address on good citizenship explained at length the points of that bill. His address was a good one although delived in a somewhat monotonous manner as though the subject had been discussed b£ him so often it had lost interest. At the close of his address Rev. Nethercut smilingly told the audience that a good collection would be gratefully received, and the baskets were passed.

Mr. Nicholson then explained the aims and purposes of the Gocd Citizenship League, and one Was at once formed, with about 75 members. Officers were elected as follows: President, Prof. A. J. Reynolds Vice-president, S. M. Lowden Secretary, Cassies M. Curry Treasurer, William Robb. All of the pastors of the city churches were present and were appointed as a Rousing Committee. The League will hold its next meeting at the M. E. church next Tuesday night. The public are urged to attend. -f

TORTURED MORTALS.

OLIVE HARPER APPLIES PUCK'S REMARK TO THE FAIR SEX.'-

The Woes of Woman's Dress—Shoes Pinch, Skirts Drag, Hatpins Hurt, Tells Bother, but Some Corsets Are Simply Barbarous.

Summer Fashion Gossip.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, July 23.—It is no wonder that Puck exclaimed, "What fools these: mortals bo!" when one seriously thinks of the many devices human beings invent for their own torture. The fair sex has the renown for the most heroio courage in the way of bearing physical torture for the sake of being or appearing more beautiful. Shoes pinch, and skirts drag heavily, and hatpins hurt the head, and veils injure the eyes, but all of these together weigh little beside the torture of the corset, and the corset we have had with us for thousands of years. There have been found some barbarous iron corsets dating back to the palmy days of Rome and Greece, and I do not doubt that Eve managed to provide herself with some crude form of stays. The Flemish corset of the sixteenth century makes one think of the horrors of the Inquisition. It was made of wrought iron and must have been torture most agonizing.

Those of the seventeenth century were even worse, as there was no attempt to conform them to tho human figure at all, and they were stiff and terrible and had straps to go over the shoulders. From the beginning until now tho object has been to fence in the human form and draw it into lines as ugly as they are unnatural,

INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE.

and so necessary has the corset become thatS no gown can be made that has no corset to first hold the form in certain position. Today there are hundreds of now corsets, each bearing its own brand. There are long waisted ones, short waisted ones, high and low hips and others to simulate roundness where none exists. The variety of corsets differing in shape is astonishing. Then there are girdles with curious devices for holding the bust in position while leaving the rest of the body free, and there I are many others adapted for certain physleal deformities. All these corsets are stiff and cast in the same molds as far as may be, and none but woman can tell of the I agony of breaking in anew pair of corsets. There are also several styles of corset waists which are softer and looser and healthier, but they have comparatively few devotees, I because they do not give that same stiff effeet, and also one cannot lace them tighter.

It is possible that men can feol a slight portion of discomfort in high, tight collars, particularly when the collar begins to srrow bristly whiskers along the edges undor the hands of the laundress, but that is only a trifle compared to the constant torture of corsets. And yet women once addieted to them never leave them off.

There are a few old people who are always talking about the good old times and telling how pretty and becoming bygone styles were. Not to go back so very far, let us look at the modes of only seven years ago and compare them with those of today. The distended skirt and the vast quantities of draper}*, the close sleeves and general effect make up a very inartistic picture beside the gown of today. Today's gown is of dainty figured silk in light colors and tints, with a straight skirt and no drapery, unless perhaps the panels set in tho sides might come under that heading. What has been lost in the skirt of the gown of today may bo found in the sleeves. This particular gown has puffed sleeves, with an inset of plain silk. The whole waist is covered with a pelerine bertha of lace, with puffings of the same silk as that used in the gown. The fore parts of the sleeves are covered with lace. The skirt is made to fit tightly around the hips, whereas the "yesterday" gown was distended to absurd dimensions all around.

But even these will be forgotten in the new Louis XVI fashions that are now being prepared for These, I find by refp erence to a book '. costumes, will differ from the present modes in having long waists ridhly trimuied. The skirts will be extremely full and stiff, opening over some differently colored underskirt. And this will also be flounoed or lavishly embroidered. There will be middling full sleeves, with deep upturned cuffs made of linen and vandyked lace. There will be stiff caps of velvet to sleeves of any kind, and often there will be hanging sleeves falling loosely from the shoulder, through which the arms are not passed. The skirts

•TODAY AND YESTERDAY.

may he puffed around tho waists or have short double skirts. Ruffs of muslin and edged with lace should go with these other things. The cavalier hat with a high crown and a tuft of plumes will probably be modified. Short capes lined with ermine will be shown, and nearly every waist will iihow a heavy plastron stiff with gold embroidery. The distinguishing traits will be the long pointed waist, the deep upturned linen cuffs, the open skirt and the very full effect around the hips. The materials will be thiok and sumption* j, and woolen ones very woolly. |:f^|
