PERHAPS the reason the straw vote smart fellow has not been canvassing passengers on railroad trains to learn how ibey stand on the McKinley question is that there were not enough straws to go around.

THK Methodist general conference starts in on its month's session with a display of feeling that bodes tumultuous occurences among the brethren who have not reached that Ktage of "higher life" wherein displays of temper are not to be expected.

INWANA was the center of interest in the country this week. It is the biggest state in the country for its size. And that remark goes whether you make comparison in statesmanship, politics, literature, intelligence as tested in any way or in crops.

IT begins to look as if Governor Matthews will have another Roby war on his hands about the time of the selection of delegates to the Chicago convention. If the miners strike should develop into a condition of lawlessness again requiring the use of the militia the governor will be able to use both to remind the public of the two acts in his career which gave him all the reputation be has acquired as a figure in national affairs and which made him "presidential possibility."

PKKSIDKNT"VVKIU of the Adams Express company explained the cause of the trouble with the employes by saying the company was equalizing wages for like service in different cities, by reducing all to the lowest rate and he was somewhat startled when a reporter asked him why they did not equalize them by raising all to the higher standard. He Anally said the company could not afford to do this but he did not nay that his own or the salaries of any of the many high priced officials had been cut. It is this attitude of the managers of corporations which makes men doubt their statements when they expluin why a reduction of wages is necessary.

PKRHAI'S it is a sign of returning prosperity that the baseball games are more largely attended this season than ever before at this stfige of the championship series of the game. The people may be better able financially and more disposed to take a little amusement than in the past two or throe years. It is also a fact that the ocean steamship companies have more persons booked for passage to Europe than in the history of the transatlantic service. And again immigration which ceased is now in startling numbers. It may be that humanity finds the right country by natural laws a bird seeks another climate with the change of seasons.

TilK manner in which Holmes accepted the noose and passed to the bourne whence no one has returned to testify to the actual fact of a hereafter, leaves no doubt that human beiugs are so constituted that fear of the death penalty does not deter them from committing the crime for which there Is a death penalty. If Holmes had witnessed the execution of as groas a murderer as himself, he was so constituted that it would not have deterred him from taking a human life the next hour. Insofar as the death peualty may be intended to exterminate murderers its object is fulfilled in not more than 10 per cent, of the cases, and this fact with the other one. that there are moral perverts like Holmes, virtually nullifies the law in its deterrent effect.

INOKHSOI.I. has consented to pose for his portrait to be painted in a mammoth canvass representation of hades. There are to be several hundred figures in the picture. depicting the old time accepted idea of the place of eternal tort me. Ingersoll is to be represented as standing on a rock in the attitude of a spectator. The artist ts supposed to give to his face an expression of Incredulity as if he were saying: "Is this what religious people would have us believe?" The painting is to be exhibited after the manner of the cycloratnas. Mr. Ingersoll lain error In supposing that endless physical torment is what the religious people would have him believe to be the fate of the wicked. If it is any satisfaction to Pope Bob he may take to himself some of thecreditfor having dissipated the old idea of the hereafter for bad people. The hell-fire and damnation preacher is no longer abroad in the land.

THK Indianapolis board of public works to amased at the prospect of having to go to great expense to keep in repair the asphalt pavements which were constructed some years ago. Under the terms of the contract the contractors were obligated to make all repairs for five years. Now that this time has expired the city must do the repairing and the cost is seen to be a considerable drain on the city's revenue. Indianapolis has done nothing as a city in the past twenty-five years which was at greater benefit than the extensive improvement of the streets. It has made the city one af the most beautiful in the country, and not only has it improved the appearance of the streets themselves but has added much to the appearance and value of the structures on the improved street*. In addition to the improvement in appear* juice there is noticeable an increased activity on the part of the people in their daily life which cannot but be to their ad-

vantage. With the good pavements there has come into use a very large number of bicycles and the habit or momentum, as it were, that comes with this rapid transit and also from the trolley care, has really put new life into the people. It is noticeable to anyone who has been but an infrequent visitor to the city and no doubt has come upon the people themselves without the is appreciation of the fact.

A STUDENT of political history recalls the fact that when the first real Republican convention mc-t in Chicago in 1860 two-thirds of the delegates were either in structed or committed to the nomination of William H. Seward, who was regarded as the founder of the party and its ablest leader. Still he was defeated, and he was the choice of three-fourths of the Repub licans of the country, because he was deemed unavailable. The student sees in the apparent wish of the people that McKinley be nominated the same fate that fell to Seward, who was in some ways better suited to leadership than the Ohio man. Seward was defeated because when governor of New York he recommended a division of the school funds between the Catholics and the Protestants, and now the A. P. A. 's are opposing McKinley because, as governor of Ohio, he did appoint some Catholics to office and did not appoint some members of that organization. This leads the student to venture the prophecy that history will repeat itself, and that the man who is undoubtedly the choice of three-fourths of the Republicans for the presidency will be beaten by this organization, which claims that it will hold the balance of power in the St. Louis convention. It is not likely, however, that the fight on McKinley from the direction named will cut as much figure in the St. Louis convention as it did with Seward. Opposition to a lyan because he proposes a change in a universal law, in this country, that school funds shall not be divided, is just a trifle different from opposition developed by the fact that a man has given offices to this lot of men or that.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. The Republicans of Indiana went over into the McKinley camp, bag and baggage, this week, their state convention declaring in favor of the "apostle of protection," and instructing their delegates, Col. R. W. Thompson, Gen. Lew Wallace, Frank Millikan and Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, to vote for him as long as there is any possibility of his nomination. The other business transacted by the convention was the selection of the following state ticket:

Governor—James A. Mount, of Montgomery. Lieutenant Governor—Wm. S. Haggard, of Tippecanoe.

Secretary of State—Wm. D. Owen, of Cass. Auditor of State—A. C. Dailey, of Boone.

Treasurer of State—F. J. Scholz, of VHUderburg. Attorney General—Wm. A. Ketcham, of Marion.

Reporter of Supreme Court—Chas. F. Remy, of Bartholomew. Superintendent of Public Instruction— D. M. Geeting, of Floyd.

State Statistician—Simeon ,T. Thompson, of Shelby. Judges of Appellate Court—First district, W. D. Robinson, of Gibson Second, VV. J. Henley, of Rush Third, James B. Black, of Marion Fourth, D. W. Cornstock. of Wayne: Fifth,' Ulric Z. Wiley, of Benton.

The platform of the party declares in favor of protection and reciprocity, and unequivocally commits the party in this state to a determined opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one.

Col. Thompson, who presided over the convention, declared it to be the largest and most enthusiastic convention of the patty ever held in the state. The sessions began shortly after ten o'clock on Thursday, morning and continued without adjournment until about four o'clock the next morning. Before adjourning the convehtion adopted a resolution directing the state committee to hereafter arrange for a two days session in all future conventions.

The Republican candidate for governor is well known, in this section of the state especially, as he is a resident of Montgomery county, and in 1890 was the Republican candidate for congress, being defeated by Congressman Brookshire, who was then for the first time a candidate for re-election.

What We Inherit

We are ,not to blame for. We cannot be held responsible for the dispositions and tendencies which we derive from our ancestors, nor are we responsible for the germs of disease which may manifest themselves in our blood as a heritage from former generations. But we are responsible if we allow these germs to develop into serious diseases which will impair our usefulness and destroy our happiness. We are responsible if we transmit to our descendants the disease germs which it is possible for us to eradicate by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, the one true blood purifier. This medicine has power to make rich, red blood and establish perfect health in place of disease.

Everybody's complaining of hard times which is true, but there are exceptions in all cases especially in all business houses. Goodman & Hirschler are doing a thriving business why? Because they know the wants of the people these times. They know the people want the worth of their money and a little mom and it is a coincident fact that Goodman & Hirschler have the reputation of representing Garments what people buy. They always keep the finest line of Suits in all the latest styles such as Cutaway Sacks. Straight Cut Sacks, Cptway Frocks, Prince Alberta in all quality and shades, and they mnst be seen to be appreciated and at prices unknown.

MAIDS OF MAY.

Linen collars and cuffs look very fresh and neat, but they are very conductive to comfort in the extremely hot weather.

The plaid golf stockings seem a little load, but it is considered quite smart to wear them with tan shoes when bicycling.

Parisian novelties and button embroidered chiffons are used in the higher-priced waists. A remarkably beautiful production of this kind is of black chiffon em* broidered all over with'tinsel

The all-white stitched glove with four buttons is still in fashion for wear with silk gown in the afternoon, and this very expensive fashion—for the gloves must be immaculate—bids fair to continue some time.

All the colors of fruits are apparently used. Prune, damson, apple and pear are shown as being the very latest, and these in a softness and a sheen over the silks that certainly do resemble the indescribable bloom of fruit. y-Z

The introduction of the gloria-silk um brellas has been an inestimable boon. These umbrellas resemble silk so closely that at a distance it is impossible to tell them apart, wear well and are plenty good enough to be lost.

r"n~

Tortoise-shell fans with a chain of tortoise shell—a chain to be worn either around the neck or the waist—are seen, while the silks with spangles are very dainty little affairs which seem much more suitable for children.

Silks and velvets of all kinds and colors are utilized for making yokes. Small figured china silks are worked up most effectively in some of the cheaper lines! Lace beading, run with narrow ribbons, forms a pretty trimming on the light silks.

No special departure has been made in the adjustment of hat trimmings this year, and the difference seems to lie principally, in the height attained over last season's styles. Broad effects are still sought, and cachepeignes of flowers retain deserved place.

A close-fitting bodice of cloth-of-gold is covered with odd designs of flame and green spangles, outlined with jet beads. Green velvet draperies over the bust are held by gold filigree buttons set with rhinestones, and other loose draperies of this material are over the top of the sleeves, with similar fastenings. Skirt of green cloth having a tiny panel of the cloth-of-gold on either side. #',

'Free Silver" and "16 to 1" Plainly Explained. The question is often asked what does 'free silver" and "16 to 1" mean? The general proposition that the advocates of silver money want more of it is comprehended, but really only a comparatively few persons have grasped the idea in its full sense. Most explanations are involved arguments, pro and con, but here is one from the Indianapolis Journal that is concise and clear: "The free coinage of silver means that the owner of silver bullion can have it coined into standard dollars free of cost. Unlimited coinage means that all the silver bullion in the world can be taken to our mints for coinage. The ratio of 16 to 1 means that when the coinage system was revised, in 1834, one pound of gold had the same commercial value as sixteen pounds of silver that is, it was concluded by those who made the law that a pound of gold would buy just as much merchandise as sixteen pounds of silver, and, consequently, that a gold dollar weighing 35.8 grains had the same market value as a silver dollar weighing 41grains. The prices have changed since that time, so that it requires over thirty pounds of silver to purchase as much merchandise as one pound of gold. If silver bullion were now coined in the ratio of 16 to 1, when the market value ratio is 30 to 1, it would mean that the man who takes $50 worth of silver bullion to the mint will be given 100 silver dollars, which will pay debts at that rate, but which, on a silver basis, will purchase but 150 worth of merchandise, the prices of which are made on the market counter."

The Speech That Caught the Crowd. The rising young politician had prepared an elaborate speech for the occasion, says the Chicago Tribune. He rose in response to loud calls for him and felt in his inside pocket for the manuscript. It was gone. It had slipped through a hole in the bottom.

This situation was a terrible one but the self-possession of the rising young politician did not forsake him. Letting his hand remain in the breast of his coat he looked fearlessly out over the assembly. "My fellow citizens," he said, "I have no —no words in which to express my thanks for the honor you have done me in selecting me as one of your standard bearers in this campaign, and I will simply ask you to join me

He was interrupted by deafening cheers, in which the other orators on the platform heartily joined.

The situation was still more terrible. He bad intended merely to propose three cheers for the ticket, bnt the audience had jumped hastily to the conclusion that he was extending an invitation of another kind.

Still he did not lose his head. "I see, fellow citisens," he resumed with a smile, as soon as he could make himself heard again, "yon understand me Come on!"

He sei*ed his hat and the meeting ad journey at once to the saloon on the floor below. He had made the hit of the evening-

The 'lcc Rosebud Habifc "People when once addicted to a habit," remarked a member of the Southern Athletic Club to aNew Orleans reporter, "find it extremely difficult to break away even if they would. A friend of mine, who is a prominent dealer in hides and cattle products, doing business on South Peters street, is absolutely a slave to the habit of wearing roses in his buttonhole. I have known him for a number of years, yet during the entire period of our acquaintance I have never seen him without the customary nosegay on the lapel of his coat. If he loses one he hunts a florists' shop and buys another. Winter or summer, it is the same thing. When I twitted him about it be said that be had worn rosebnds

so long that he could not transact his business or feel comfortable unless the posy was in his buttonhole. His father &ad done the same thing before him, and in addition to this, he, my friend, often fonnd it impossible to sleep unless a vase of roses was on the table in his room at *night. He is an absolute rosebud fiend

COMPLEXION HINTS.

Overfrequent washing of "the face should Ife avoided. Some physicians insist that the face should be washed but once a day, and then in tepid water.

A certain amount of exercise is indispensable. Brisk morning walks, regularly taken and persistently adhered to, produce a healthly glow that defies artificial imitation.

Avoid rich and greasy foods. Though it is practically useless to tell a woman to abjure sweets, it may be suggested that they are complexion destroyers, and that the fewer one eats the fairer one's skin is likely to be.

Massage is recommended by many who have made a special study of the fine art of complexion-preserving. A gentle kneading of the face at night and in the morning makes the skin soft and healthy.

Fashions For Men.

A well-known Londoner has been giving the St. James Gazette an account of the fashions that will prevail among welldressed men during the coming year. He bases his information on an interview with the tailor who makes coats and trousers for the prince of Wales and his august son, the duke of York, tempering the ideas of jfche knight of the goose and shears with the wisdom of his own experience. The cutaway coat, it seems, will be much more worn by Englishmen than it has been "•heretofore, and both it and the frock coat will be worn open, with silk facings. Beyond this there will be no notable change in men's fashions.
