A Grant Statue in Washington.
Among the various recommendations
contained in the report of the Secretary
of SVar to the President there is none
,whieh will receive a more cordial and
widespread indorsement than his sug~
gestion regarding an appropriation by
Congress for the election in the City
of Washington of a memorial statue. of
Gen. Grant. No fact will be more uni-
versally recognized than that there
should be in the National Capital some
structure commemorative of the ser-
vices and commensurate with the fame
of the greatest military leader the
, scountry has ever produced, and this
Work should not be delayed any longer.

A Bull- headed >.Deaeon
Death, says the Detroit Free Press,
did not end all with Deacon Cobble, of
Fairview, Ind. Not by a long shot.
He fought the introduction of a pipe
organ in the Baptist Church, of which
he was a pillar, and when his sister
died he did not propose to have it play
at her funeral. Ere she closed her
eyes to earthly scenes the sister re-
quested that the choir should sing her
favorite hymn with the! organ accom-
paniment. The deacon entered a pro-
test and was partly assured that his
will should take precedence of the dy-
ing wish of his relative. The mourn-
ers had no sooner taken their seats
when the organ began to give forth
the notes of “Nearer,My God,to Thee.”
whereupon the deacon arose and quit
the scene of the obsequies. When the
procession reached the graveyard he
was there, and noticing the flowers
that decorated the organ in the church
were lying on the casket, he bade the
remove them if he

faned tokens were taken away, and the
deacon was then willing to attend the
commitment of the casket to its narrow
house. But the deaconry of the Baptist
church is minus a member.
Hit From A Chief of Police.
Maj. VF. G. Moore, chief of the Dis-
trict of Columbia Police Department,
in his annual report to the Commis-
sioners, comes very near recommend-
ing the establishment of the whipping
post. He says that “by far the most
revolting of the many offenses which
' require police interference, is that of
indecent assault.” He reports fifteen
convictions in the last year by the Po-
lice Court for that offense, and adds:
“If there is one feature of the condi-
tions which prevail that suggests the
applicatiOn of the whipping ‘post as a
measure suitable in a degree for the
crime it is this. Incarceration or a
fine is wholly inadequate punishment
for this and kindred crimes.”
If the chief had any reason to believe
that Congress would authorize the use
of the lash for punishing any “class of
criminals, we suspect that he would
have urged rather than mildly sug-
gested it. The penalties imposed on
these classes of criminals are, as he
says, “wholly inadequate.” The
Washington Post has no doubt that
justice and expediency demand the in-
fliction of corporal punishment, not
only in the cases mentioned by Col.
Moore, but for wife-beating and brutal
treatment of children. There are men
in this and almost any other city who
commit one 011 more of these offenses
time after time, having no dread of the
workhouse or jail. ,They have no
shame or self-respect, and there is no
avenue to their feelings exceptthrough
their hides.
people, the authorities should be cloth-
ed with power to {leg them and let ~ 1
them go. . And the flogging should net
be a sham, out a good prescription well
laid on. Many of the most advanced
penalogists and some of the best-known
leaders in the work of humane societies
are convinced that the whipping post
is a merciful dispensation, because they
believe that it would prevent cruelties
to the weak and defenseless, and mini-
mize those vile crimes to which Chief
Moore refers. _

It is noticable at all evening func-
tions that some ornament is worn in
the hair of all women who pose as be-
ing an fait in the matter of coil’fure.
The light linings in fur coats are de-
cidedly lovely, but they are great
pieces of extravagance when you con-
sider that it is impossible to clean one
without removing it, which means vir-
tually the cost of a new one.
It seems almost as though physicians
delight in saying you must go South to
recover your health when they know
your work precludes a journey, even in
quest of such a treasure.
HOW TO_ l-'_IND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order _
WHAT £110 D0.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer' s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills ever y w ishb 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, livei, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
cmrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, 011 bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine 011
bee1. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times timing the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the ext1aor1dina1y
effect of Swamp- -Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one. dollar. You may have a
