WORLD'S FAIR BEAUTY SHOW.

Congress meets Monday to make dough pills. There is plenty of everything: in this country but money. A graduated income tax is a compensation law against in--•equality of burdens. The Democratic part}, was a ; great party. Dra w tin- < r t r.in; it is now a. g"v;‘ f/c.' d. If tilings don t in.grove migh-. tv fast there will be room for a: 'ljiaiiksgiviug pro iamatioii. Nero iiddlGr. w.‘ilie Rome wasi burning, but Grover goes fishing whiie Wall street is robbing. The Republican party is grop-! ing and wobbling about like a| blind calf in a Dakota snowt storm. I The Sherman silver law is j not ns good as free silver, bib it is much belter than s>ilv<T dc-meir-l Ration. Ihe Deni••>£«*)t’c papers have ■■x>gun 10 vat anti-silver dirt.

We havn’i hardly confidence

enough left to make a panic'. 11 ;ui.y. ».>dy has any dunbts as to pl<-nty of mo:n.:y making good tunes so’. t-icm r«• yu-*i;;;j;-r tiro days immodiabdy following the kite war between the states. V.oukt it not be u good thing 1j start toe old southern oatr.;::e mill ami thus i;ro the northern h«:-;:rt and get the people's mmd> oi of thismoney question? bon e of fho.-,e Democratic promise should have been redeemed before the “roses come again. ’ But the roses have co.ne and gone and not a promise redeemed. Talk about your “campaigns of education,' the present panic is enlightening minds upon the money question than all the political campaigns this country The Sherman Law, bad as it is, is the only thing that stands between tin? people and the greedy gold standard, bugs; its unconditional repeal should never be allowed.

State regulation by the railroads is; the result of the “com mission" business. That is, the railroads are regulating the states instead of the states regulating the railroads. . If the corn crop fails in Jasper county, as present appearances indicate, and the hard, times and high taxes continue, some of us will be in pretty tight places before another crop is raised. If the Democrats were right in tire last campaign the tariff question is the paramount issue and will be the first to receive attention when Congress meets. If the populists were right the money question was the most important and it will receive first attention of Congress when it convenes. Now watch the remit and see who is right. Ex. U. 8. Treasurer J. N. Huston’s bank at Connersville

These are tlie richest jieopte in the state. Panics are no respecters of persons. People sort tiles get caught in their PW traps. The state bank currency 1 question is getting to be about as unpopular among the West-1 ern Democrats as the gold biw . theories of the “Cleveland Democracy.” That wild-cat scheme was hatched ostensibly to inflate; the volume of money »n the West, but really it .‘/.ad for its purpose the exaction of a heavier tribute from the West to the I’.ast, as not a dollar of Western State bank currency would Tie a

legal tender in the Eastern States. Some of the Southern Stare legislatures have enacted iaws providing for State bank f sues, but it is not probable that the idea will become popular. Last v. inter the country was startled by Hugh Dempsey, a well known Pennsylvania labor leader being sent to the penlb-n----liary on the testimony of om Gallagher,’ charged with causing the doath'of non-union men at the Carnegie mill* by having ■ neir food poisoned. Now comes Gallagher with an affidavit declaring that the whole business was a creispirany -on (h< part of Prick and the pjnkertocr’>, the object b ing to break down the K. of L., of which Dempsey was an important officer- •‘because,” said the Pinkerton manager., “they’re no good, and the Carnegie company ha,> a million dollars to spend iu ‘busting them.” Gal higher was promised a part of this million “if he would swear right," with the assurance ho should hang if he didn't. The infamy of this thing would He past belief if it were not known that, capitalists have often used the “conspiracy plan' before- in the famous Missouri Pacific .-trike in '77. and a! Chicago iu thealleged anarchism of May. for instance. Hartford City Aren't. For some reason explanations are now being offered for our three (-ent gravel road tax levy. One explanation is that it was

inti-udcd to bo three mills on the ••Tinstead of three cents, another 'is that the three cents will be sufficient for three years. When this three cent levy was published in the liepublican, the IhnoT called attention to its being so ridiculously light and asked if it was not a mistake, but nothing was said, nothing was done by the powers that rule at the court house. The Phot took the valuation of 1891, (not knowing then the valuation of 1* ; 2) and showed that the 3 cent levy would bring into the gravel road repair fund 82,042.17 or 8340.36 per mile for the six miles of road. Now the appraised value for 1*92, the sum on which we pay this 3 cent tax is £6.9*1.805. This will give us a gravel road fund of 82,094.54, or in other words we pay this year 8349.09 per mile on this six mile road. If it was intended to be three miles on the 8100, why did not the proper officers make the correction when asked if there was not something wrong? It will be sufficient for three years, eh I Nice scheme to tax three years ahead. Who will handle this money till it is expended on the road?

The “Beauty Show.” as it is almost universally called, is certainly one of the most noreil and attractive of the speeihl i features at the Exposition. j These special attractions—about thirty in number and of many different descriptions—' are situated, on both sides oil Midway Plaisance. The “Beau) i t.y Show” is the 'Tnternational I Dress and Costume Exhibit.” and to this name the managers! have added “World’s Congress! of Beauty,” But it is much: more than a beauty show. The exhibit comprises between forty) and fifty representatives of different nationalilie* Taces and types, and eilCh one is clad i:r disii»‘Cb\m national or racial; dross or costume. It took hiiP. on the part of tbe f.nanciul! >a kers of ‘he enterprise to! car*‘y T out, for the exhibit, as; it stands to-day, represents acexpenditure of over *50,060. i Ihit the resub ’h<K\sthat they! knew whaX they were about i’ihis far no other Midway at . .traction has drawn as well tliis. It catches the CTdwe.! both of men and Women, and all who sob It comim-nd it to their 1 friends.

Near!;; all of the representiww ar* young worn, n, and beautiful women at th?.'. The reader need not conclude that this was wholly accidental. Women, rather than men. wbre selected because, as a rule-, their costumes are more distinctive and attractive; and. in collecting a lot <>ayoung women from different countries foiLa public exhioition. who would not select beautiful ones rather than plain or homely specimens. Beautiful women, each one typical of her race or country, and ntrlk ing costumes, true to the nation aliiy of those who wear them. The result iisavery instructive and popular exhibit. What do the beauties do? Well, the principal thing they do is to be looked at. Some do fancy work of one sort or another, some read, some spin, make embroidery, or engage in eider light occupations, sucli as they are accustomed to at home. Nearly all chat freely with visitors, ami answer the many (pioHtions which are propounded. Tlrny are paid a great many compliments, of course, and these they receive graciously if they are . offered courteously. Occasionly a dude or an ill-man-nered person receives a squelching. which generally causes him to make haste from the vicinity. At the end of the hall, opposite the entrance, is an oriental or harem scene in •which there are live dark-eyed beauties lounging on divans or otherwise disposed in accord with the languid habits of the far East. Fatima, a regal beauty, is the /•queen” of this booth, and occupies an exalted position in the center.

The costumes of the orientals are exceedingly gorgeous and rich. Three of the girls—an I English, French and American —wear Worth gowns. These naturally excite the enthusasti’c admiration of the gentler sex. The gowns cost from ?1,000 to 81.500 each, and are the finest that tiie famous Paris cdscumer could make. The material was made specially for him and could not be duplicated elsewhere.

The beauties enjoy themselves; they have a good time; they sleep and eat in the exhibit building, and have comfortable quarters and excellent board, much better in fact than the public restaurants of the Fair provide. They have their half days off, and are ‘allowed to go and come under proper restrictions. As long as a girl acts in a lady-like and proper manner but little restriction is exercised over her. One would imagine that it would be a difficult task to manage so many pretty young women, who are conscious of their attractions, and who. it is to be supposed, have their jealousies of each other. However that may be, it seems to be done smoothly and satisfactory. The girls seem happy and the visitors are certainly well pleased. Compliments for
