WHOSE FA ULTia IT Tbey say" women are extravagant. If it be aaked who say so? it may bo answered that it has boen HO said by
number of tongues in the beads of the lords of creation, and has been so written by innumerable pens in tho fingers tm lords aforesaid. The newspapers say so. Magazines say so. Pulpits hint at it. Wiso and thoughtful men say so Spiteful, and also very amiable women say so, especially those who, unable to do as they would, do as tlioy must, and dress choaply. In fact, it is easier to tell who does not say so, than who does. The extravagance of women is ihn reason wby marriago is declining. Young men are almost dying to marry, but they cannot afford it. Women are too extravagant. The extravaganceof women is the reason wby children are not born. Women are so extravagant that a family with a woman in it cannot nfford the additional luxury of children, and especially when there is danger, as is generally the case, that these children, some or all, may be girls. It
is
the extravagance of women
that makes men defaulters, speculators with other people's money, thieves and gamblers. As an example, take young Carlton, of the Union Trust Company. His wife died, and of course with true feminlnd thoughtlessness she must have an expensive funeral, and so she ordered three thousand dollars worth of flowers, the papers say, and other things in proportion, or, what is the samo thing, he did it for her. It was woman's extravagance, the ruling passion strong in death, or after death— that made hioi a defaulter. These are sentiments which we have caught here and thero in print and in conversation. The extravagance of women is a neverfailing subject for—not discussion, for all that is said, or pretty much all is on one side—disquisitions, moralizing and grumbling.
No^v what it? Whose fault is it? It is u's fault, not always, but generally. Uringonyour modest, economical, intelligent and sensible young ladles. There are plenty of them. Put beaide thetu an equal number with characteristics the very reverse, not over modest, rather under modest, soft, nenselos* and extravagant, taking tho last cent that parents can earn, save, borrow, bog or steal, for dress.

to see them, howarer much they may dislike to pay the bills. In eases where wivea do go beyond the means and dealrea of their huabanda, it is because they do not know what their huaband'a means are. There la not one woman in a hundred—there are some—who, if the hoaband were to make a confidant of her in his buainess, and let her know jost what he could afford in the way of dress for herself and children, would not keep within that limit. And It may as well be added here, that there is not one woman in a hundred, who, If fretted at and twitted aboot extravaganoe, will not, out of sheer spite, run just as big bills as she pleases.
One-half or very little leas—of the extravagance of women beyond the means of their husbands, is indulged in with the consent snd at the desire of the husbands themselves and the other half—or very little less—is indulged in because tbey ignorantly think their husbands can afford it. For what remains the women themselves are solely responsible.
But women aro not extraVagant. That is they are not more extravagant than men. homebody says—and he evidently knows whereof ha affirms— that women «pend money on their dress, and men on their vices. That is so. It probably costs more in the same family to raise boys than it does to raise girls. Young men spend more on cigars, drinks, and general "blow outs," than their sisters do on dress. Husbands generally spend more money needlessly than their wives do. A man will go about all day smoking ten cent cigars, only taking tbem out long enough for his moftls, and from six to a dozen ten cent drinks, and once or twice a week spend a night till the "wee sma* hours"—at the lodge, and then talk dolefully, or angrily, about the extravagancoof his wife. And people will say, "He has an expensive family," and pity him for not getting along better. Men waste more than women any day. Not every man more than every woman, but the average man more than the average woman.
Women are extravagant in dress. But it is because young men prefer extravagant sweet-hearts, and because husbands either want their wives to be extravagant, or will not, in love and kludneas, let them know ouough of their business utl'airs to see that they cannot afford it. But after all the women are not more extravagant than men. That last is not saying much in their favor. It is better that each sex cure itsown faults in this matter. And each lias plenty to furnish employment for long time. Let society, press, pulpii and platform coutinue the bombardment of extravagance, but, laying the f.mlt where it belongs, be done with talking and writing as if women bad the monopoly of this business. _____ ,v4
THE LECTURE U8INESS. There is a great horde of leoturers in in the field for the present* seasonmale and female, of high and low degree, some men and women of talent, and some dead beats," who take this method to avoid labor at the expense of a gullible people. Half a dozen or BO of them will probably come here during the season, and it may interest the readers of The Mail to know how much some of tho lecturers Charge and what they have to say:

ALL sorts of doctors are at work at the Finance of the country. And if the disagreement of doctors is a bad omen for tho patient, then tho Finance must be in a bad way. If it has any friends they had better be telegraphed at once. It is a line thing to have a financial system of somo kind upon which to lay all the blame when rash speculation, headlong extravagance, and dishonesty of all kinds, have produced their natural results. It is much more comforting to talk learnedly and mysteriously about the "lack of
elasticity"
in the currency, than to
declare the truth, and tell people that they must become more honest, and more economical in public and private expenditures, or suffer tho consequences as they are doing now.
It
would
take a currency more elastic than rubber to stand the thieving, and the reckless and useless expenditure of money in private affairs and publicentorprises which have prevailed in every part of the country of late years. The truth is, our sins have found us out, aud there is little need of glossing the matter over. Let the doctors dose the people instead of the Finance, and there will be speedy recovery.
COL. DOWLINO is always ready to give an answer to all who question him thorugh the press, and is not much afraid to taken tilt with any who throw down the gauntlet. His answer to some questions propounded in tho Ga zette concerning his course as a mem ber of the Committee of Fifteen and of the Board of County Commissioners, is so clear, and puts himself and his associates in such a favorablo light before tho public that it would almost seem as if he or they arranged to have tbe questions put, in order that be might answer tbem. At all events they should be, and doubtless are, very grateful to the questioner.
It is a settled fact that this Committee, and the reorganized Board of Commissioners, have done Vigo County a great service. And they have rendered this service with as few and slight mis takes as could possibly bo expected of fallible mortals. In all this matter they are entitled to the crcdit of thorough honesty, and a good degree of wisdom. Taxpayers all over the county breathe easier because of the work which has been done in checking ex travagance and speculation. In every time of danger may we fall into bands as capable as these.
HONKSTY in controversy is one of the most difficult virtues to practice. It is a great deal easier to misrepresent an opponent than to argue with him. And tbe custom of setting up a man of straw, and, when It has been knocked over, of trying to mako people think that a real man has been met and conquered, Is by no means uncommon. It is easy to draw conclusions, real or fancied, from an opponents arguments or statements, and tben charge hini wtyh uttering these conclusions. It is not so easy to show that these must necessarily follow from what has been said. Tbe man who always treats honetflly and fairly one who differs from him, may not only be Justly reckoned a thoroughly honest man, but may also be set down as one more desirous of establishing tbe truth than to establish his own sentiments. But the one who reaorts to mtarepreaeatalona, by declar Ing that an opponent has said what be has not, by suppressing some parts of what he has said, by distorting his utterances, by putting bis own conclusions into the mouth of the one whom he oppoaea, or by any one of the thousand unfair tricks of controversy, shows that he has greater desire to convince people that he is right than to convince tbem of the truth. Great professions of regard for the truth, and of boldm tn seeking and declaring It, do not mend tbe matter In such cases. Tbe real truth seeker Is always boaent and fair towards bis opponent.
PIOPLI who complain of our changeable climate, ought to be transplanted to the planet Mercnry, Aooordiug to Prof. Proctor, who la giving aome Interesting lecture* In Boston on astronomy, It appears that Mercury geta ten timea aa much light /md beat aa tbe •arth doea. Under tbe summer son water boila, and some say teed will melt, while In winter quiekailver freeaaa. As tbe year is only eightyeight days It may well beanrmiaed there are some pretty rapid change* of temperature—too giwt, tbe profraaor thinks, to admit of animal ex late nee. In Venus the conditions at* more nearly like what ex tat on tbe earth.

It seems strange, when we remember that nearly all the readera of the Express, especially tboae In the city, alab take The Mail, that that paper ahould be willing to go before theee readers ascribing to The Mail sentiments which they all know that it never expressed. We are sore that we can better afford to be miarepresented under such droumstanoes, than the Expresacan to be guilty of such gross unfairness.
DR. PKNCK complains that at an article In last week's Mail beaded ''Why is This Thus," places bim In a wrong position before the public, and asks tbe publication of his article entire as it appeared in tho Indianapolis feople. We cannot do so this week, but will give it a place in a next Issue.
