Each Coupon will count as ONE vote. The contest closes .Saturday Septen.'ber 4t It.

Tnk people of Kentucky, who have .spent $10(1,(XK) in securing a senator, are no doubt in favor of flections of such officials by popular vote.

Mit. BAN Aiii» has already nominated Mr. Cleveland as the Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1000. Mr. Bayard lias been away from home for four years, and may be excused for his ignorance of men and things. He will know more when lie gets back on earth.

TIIK late Mr. Altgeld seems determined to keep his name before the public. He can no longer pose as a socialistic governor, so he puts in his time now in securing a prominent position at the top of the column next to pure reading matter, advertising himself as an assistant ^wrecker of ('liicago banks. He is more of a success as a bank wrecker than Im was as governor.

Ai t. dangers of foreign invasion of the state of Indiana may be set at rest, since Coventor Mount lias appointed his military st. a IT. He lias enough bragadier generals and colonels to officer the entire Turkish army in Greece, and when they make their llrst appearance at theG. A. R. encampment at Richmond this month, the traditions about the gorgeousness of King .Solomon's apparel will be effectually (lest roved.

ONK of the richest men in Knox county has been lined $\!,.'(H for making fraudulent. i\ returns, and he got off this easy as a compromise, some of the jurymen 'wanting to make his fine #5,000. If the men who have the great bulk of the taxable property in this state, property that the assessors cannot find, would make the correct returns, the tax rates, state, county and municipal, would be much less than now. IVrhaps this Knox county case niav teach a lesson to some of them.

TSIK president is going to look into some of these stories of Spanish outrages on American citizens in Cuba. He has appointed Win. J. Calhoun, one of the leading lawyers of Illinois, or the west for that matter, to proceed to Havana, and participate in an investigation of the stories concerning the death of Dr. Ruiz, an American, who it is claimed was beaten to deat in a Spanish prison. The investigation will be a searching one, and no doubt open the eyes of the civilized world to the manner in which the authors of the inquisition treat helpless prisoners ill the last davs of the nineteenth century.

HAVING retiml from the presidential chair Mr. Cleveland is telling the country and Mr. McKinley how theoountry should be run. Strange he didn't utilize his wonderful iutormatiou when he was in a position to do so When he speaks of the silver i)iiestion having been started by "ruthless agitators." he forgets the most rut bless agitator of modern times, one Mr. Grover Cleveland. All the stock in trade of the free silver people in the last cam-) paimi, the aspersions on men of means, desirable, the talk of lasses" lieing arrayed against the "masses." the talk of the "rich robbini the poor," were set in motion by this Mr. Cleveland years ago, for the same reason that it was used by the free silver peopie. to give his p.u a chance to perpetuate itself in power It is jx-ouliarlly appropriate that this Mr. Cleveland, after havitikl lights! the match, should shout "fire,"

Tin dedication of the tomb of Ulysses S. Grant, at Kiverside Park. New York, last Tuesday, was one of the most imposing pageants of modern times It was proper that it should 'H- imposing to pay the projvr rvsptvt to the memory of one of the greatest soldiers of all time. The president was then, as was ex-President Cleveland, the vice-president, the cabinet, all the foreign ministers and representatives. and nearly aii the dignitaries in public life. The widow, children and grandchildren of the dead hero witnessed the dedication exervt «**•$. which were In ceremonies of mourning, although in a certain sense a *voinl funeral cefpniony. It was rather the rejoicing of aj nation in the memory and example of one of the greatest soldiers of history. The

tomb is a magnificent structure, and while New York has moved slowly in the erec tion of this monument, it has moved well, and the beautiful structure will ever be worthy a pilgrimage for those who admire the memory of the silent hero, who led the nations armie's to victory that we might have peace.

AFTER a contest that lasted through one regular session and consumed several weeks of a special session called for that purpose, the legislature of Kentucky on Wednesday succeeded in electing a United States senator to succeed J. C. S. Blackburn, whose terra expired March 4th. The fortunate man is a Republican, William J,. Deboe, who was a member of the state senate. He is said to be an able man, and it is told to his credit that he did not spend a dollar to secure his election, being too poor at its conclusion to give a banquet in honor of the event. He will take his seat in the senate on Monday, which will make that body stand: Republicans, 43, Democrats, 83, Populists and Silver Republicans, 12. With the aid of Senator Kyle, Populist, of North Dakota, who was re-elected this past winter by the Republicans, the latter will have, with the vice president's casting vote, control of the senate, and they will be enabled, if they can hold their forces together, to pass the Dingley tariff bill that is now undergoing material revision at the hands of the senate committee oh finance.

JOSEPH R. DUNLOP, the Chicago publisher, convicted in the United States court of sending obscene matter through the mails, will have to serve his sentence of two years in the penitentiary, despite his immense wealth, and the divers influences that were brought to bear on the president to secure his pardon. It is said that one member of congress accepted a fee of ten thousand dollars to use his influence on the president to this end. The gentleman from Ohio who is residing at the White house seems to have a backbone of his own, however, and he refused to interfere with the court's sentence, which was richly deserved. It will perhaps be a lesson to the publishers of obsceue papers. An Indiana man, Wilson, is serving a sentence for this offense, and Dunlop will begin on his sentence to-day.

VEX

to war by the clamor of his peo

ple, King George of Greece, now that his armies have met with reverses, sees the folly of it. The Athens mobs have stoned the palace, insulted the members of the royal family when they made their appearance in public, and succeeded in securing a change in the ministry. The change will bring no good results, however. Greece is whipped by force of superior numbers and better equipments, and she can never hope to succeed. What she will get out of the trouble depends on the magnanimity of the powers.

WHAT PLEASES A WOMAN.

To be told that she is fascinating.

To be called a well dressed woman. To be called a sensible little woman. To depend on some man and pretend she is ruling him.

To be told that she improves a man by her companionship. To be treated courteously and with respect and to be talked to reasonably.

To be regarded sensibly and honestly, to be consulted and questioned and not to be treated as a butterfly, with no head'nor heart.

To be loved and admired by a man who is strong enough to rule and subdue her her and make his way her way, to lead her and take care of her.

FASHION'S FADS.

The spring jackets show "strapped" seams, as they have done for several seasons. But this year's smartness is revealed by the width of the strap. It is a noticeable increase on the narrow strapping formerly in vogue.

The most satisfactory shape for the skirts of the plainer wash gowns, that are intended to be laundered often, is a gored front, with the side gore's straight side to the bias of the front, and a straight, gathered back. These will iron much straighter. Never plait the back of a wash gown always gather it.

Common Sense.

The sale of baking powders offered with prizes of various articles has fallen off of late since it was discovered that the baking powders were really cheap and adulterated.

It Is plain Common sens* 'that if an article cannot sell on its own merit, but has to depend ou a "prize," there must be something wrong about it.

Cleveland's baking powder is a pure cream of tartar powder and offers no prizes but wholesome food and the satisfaction of using the best.
