“Truth above all, things.”
FRIDAY, MAY 13,1892.
Entered at the Post Office as a Newspaper-
Run Up the Stars and Stripes.
The passage by the Senate Monday
of thevbill admitting the Inman steam-
ers to the privilege of American regis-
try makes a historic date in the annals
of our commercial marine. The Presi-
dent will. of course. sign it and thus
make it a law. ,
In a short time the flag of England
will be hauled down forever on two of
the greatest ships in the world and the
stars and stripes will take its place.
Within two years two sister ships, built
by American labor from products of
American mine and manufactory, will
float side by side with them on the At—
lantic. These are among the great vic-
tories of peace, but in the event of war
what a victory it will be to have these
four great ocean greyhounds! '

Shall Methodists Dance?
We stand shoulder to shoulder with
the Vermont Methodists in their mem-
orial to the Omaha conference asking
the repeal or modification of section
242 of the Church Discipline. The sec-
tion in question prohibits dancing, and
our Vermont ‘friends, want to have
dancing exempted as a thing ‘mala in
so and left to the discretion of the in
dividual. .
It seems to us that the Green Moun-
tain Methodists have reason on their
side.
be in dancing with one’s best girl?
Where is the young man or maiden
who can sit unmoved while a compe-
tent orchestra dispenses the Blue Dan-
ube, or feel no quickening of the pulse
beneath the threb and cadence of the
Estudiant'ia 5? For our part we do not
know, and we don’t believe any one
else does.
We trust that Vermont will be
cheered and sustained by a favorable
consideration of its petition. With the
Washington Post, from which the
above is clipped, “we are for innocent
enjoyment every time.”

A Farmer's Tariff Talk.
A lilissouri farmer, Mr. W. H. Pit-
tengeriof Hickman Mills, in a letter to
the Protective Tariff League, shoWs the
falsity of the free trade claim that
farmers are naturu‘ly free traders by
giving these solid reasons for being a
protectionist:
“I am a protectionist,
“Because self preservation or protec-
tion is, and of right should be, the first
law of hature.
"Because history proves beyond con-
tro‘vbrsy that it was only by and
through this system that it was made
possible for the United States of Amer-
ica to lead the world tO-day in intelli-
gence and prOSperity.
“Because I am a farmer and believe
that there can never be permanent
prosperity amen g us as a class so long
:as our markets are made 5,000 miles
- from our farms; hence the need of di-
versification of American industries un-
til our markets are made at home or by
we. Protection and only protection
makes this possible.”
Ex;u‘essions like these from the peo-
ple show that the cause of protection is
making headway in the homes of the
nation.

Pensions for Army Nur'ses.
It would be difficult to say lanything
more than has already been said in fa-
‘vor of the bill before Congress for pen-
sioniug the survivors of the noble band
, of women who took such conspicuous
part in the care of the sick and wounded
during the late war,and through whose
ministrations so many lives were saved
and so much mortal anguish assuaged.
There are not many of them left——
less. than 300, we are told—and their
number is rapidly diminishing. To
give these women the sum of $144 a
year for the few remaining years that
they are likely to be spared, or an an-
nual appropriation of not much over
$40,000, will involve no serious strain
upon the national finances, nor subject
the principles of the present economi-
cal Congress to any violent shock.
It is a matter Of justice and humanity
that has to be considered in this case ;
and the Government which has lavished
upon its old soldiers such prodigal gen-
erosity certainly cannot afford to neg-
lect in their declining years the hand-
ful of heroines whose self-sacrificing
services in camp and hospital constitute
the highest of all claims to a nation’s
gratitude.

Dr. Parkhurst to Lecture.
The Washington Post is sometimes
cynical, at times it is .ironical, but it is.
always fresh, vigorous and bright. The
Rev. Dr. Parkhurst having arranged
to visit the capitol city and deliver a
lecture, the ablest and best paper ever
issued there, scenting the reformer
parson’s purpose to become a general
lecturer upon his favorite themes, thus
delivers itself : -
If Dr. Parkhurst really intends mak-
ing a tour ‘in the lecture field heis hav-
ing himself very ingeniously advertised
in anticipation. Friday’s New .York
papers devoted a great deal of space to
the trial of Hattie Adamé. keeper of
one of the notorious dives which the
good doctor visited, and the testimony
elicited by the attorney for the defense
wal'racy in the extreme. ' That sensi-
,I

tive and squeamish journal, the World,
rather adds to the sensational character _
of the literature by inserting in paren-
thesis here and there the following ap-
peal to the imagination : “Here ensued
testimony unfit for publication ;” while
all the papers that reported the trial at
all, printed an abundance of matter
calculated to fill any hall in which Dr.
Parkhurst may hereafter be billed to
speak. .
The country has yet to hear what
good Dr. Parkhurst has achieved or;
may possibly achieve by his perform-
ancc's in the underground world of New
York. Doubt-less he expects to accom-
own theory as to the means by which
the consummation is to be reached.
We do not suppose that he went to
those places,took part in the weird pro-
ceedings to which he has testified, and
set up beer for the girls just for the fun
of the thing. It is true that he gave a
rather unnecessary realistic represen—
tation of the performance of the all-
night “rounder,” not counting those
other feats which the World finds "un-
fit for publication.” But the doctor’
no doubt, wanted to see the elephant
whole , ground of his investigation.
When he gets out of the hands of those
merciless cross-questions in the courts,
and has leisure to arrange his narrative
in a consecutive form; the chances are
that he will unfold a perfectly satisfac-
tory theory.
Meanwhile, it the doctor seriously
contemplates a lecturing tour, we earn-
estly advise him to add a stereopticon
to his equipment. No presentation of
that subject would be even approxi-
mately complete without it. Those
who. like the doctor, have seen the
sights themselves, might understand,
but to the truly moral public he would
be talking in an unknown tongue. Ex-
actly at those points where the narra-
tive becomes “unfit for publication”
the magic lantern could take it up,
while the doctor drowned his emotion
and refreshed his memory in beer. It
would be the biggest show on earth.
THE CREVASSE ‘WIDENING.
[he Break in the Arkansas Levee 1,300
Feet W‘idc and Cutting Fast.
Vicrsnvnc, Miss , May 13.—From passen-
gers by the Anchor line steamer City of
PiuvH-Z ”me it is learned that the break in
the Arkansas levee. uni/ch occurred Mon-
day, is widening rapizzly. Last night, at
dark it was 1,300 feet wide and cutting fast,
the water going- through being six feet
deep. The water from this break will first
find its way into Otto bayou, thence into
Mississippi bayou, which connects Grand
lake and Bayou Mason. It will overflow all
the lands ad‘iacent to Bayou Mason in East
Carroll and .. portion of the Madison parish.
There is some uneasiness at Sterling, Ark.
A lot of lumber for that point went up this
morning. The: steamer Ruth brought a
large lot of stir-as down from Greenville and
distributed tin-m to all threatened points on
the river. The officers of the steamer Shaw
state that the old levee at upper St. Joseph
broke in front of the residence of Colonel
Robert ‘i‘lorrell, and at dark last night the
water Was two and a half feet in \Vorrell’s
house. The newline of levees back of the
break is in go:.d shape and no fears are en-
tertained. Captain Townsend, United
States engineer, has taken charge of the
cottonwood levee, l.Vilson’s Point, in East
Carroll parish, also the one‘below the Elton
levee, and has inspectors on duty at all
times.
The Stock Yards in Danger.
ST. LOITIS, May 13. —The river has now
reached 39,14 feet and continues to rise hour
by hour. Business all along the river banks
is nearly suspended. Four million feet of
lumber, now ready to be handled for mar-
ket, cannot be brought here until the water
subsides, and as the season is already back-
ward this means a serious loss. In East St.
Louis the water is getting dangerously near
the stock yards. The situation along the
river front in Carondolet and East Caron-
dolet is serious.
Missouri River’s Latest Prank.
Sioux CITY, 1a., May 13.—The Missouri
river is cutting a new channel on the Ne-
braska side here, and unless the inroads of
the river are immediately stopped the big
and high Northwestern railroad bridge will
soon be spanning a. dry bed.
Murderer Trezza Insane.
SING SING, N. Y., May 13.—Nicole Trozza,
the Italian murderer, who was to have suf-
fered death by electricity on the same day
with Charles McIvaine, but whose sentence
was commuted to life imprisonment by
Gevernor Flower. almost at the last mo-
ment, has become hopelessly insane. Trezza
was taken“ to the new Asylum for the Crim-
ive Jackson. The change in Trezza began
to be noticed about two weeks ago. He
rapidly grew worse until he became an im-
becile, and his removal to the insane asy-
lum was necessary.
Thought It Was Judgment Duy.
JACKSON, Miss, May 13.—The negroes _
and many whites in this section were great-
ly excited yesterday morning over an astro-
nomical phenomenon. Around the sun was
a large white ring, and on the ring lesser
lights, one on each side of the ‘ sun, were
plainly visible. The negroes rushed from
their houses and declared judgment day
was coming. The whites quit their stores
and oflices and stood wonder stricken in the
streets, speculating as to the sight.
Rudyard Kipling Blackbal‘led.
NEW YORK,- May 13.—Rudyard Kipling,
the English author Whose strictures upon
American customs and people have aroused
much adverse criticism, was rejegted by the
Players’ club when his name came up on an
application for membership. The reason '
advanced for the rejection of his applica,
tion was the fact that many clubmen con-
sidered him unfit for fellowship, claiming
that he is not a gentleman.
J Bare Matrimoulal Experiences.
Ovm, Mich, May 13.—Lyman Morse, aged
eighty, was married to Mrs. Phoebe M3-
comber. They had been lovers sixty-five
years ago, but parental opposition prevent-
ed their union. Since that time the groom
has been married four tinies and secured as
many divorces, while his wife has been the
unhappy Widow of five husbands, two of .
whom died since Jan. 1. 1892.

WASHINGTON, May 13.—It has transpired
that before Colonel Duffield, Of Detroit,
General Alger’s lieutenant, returned home
he called upon Senator Shaman. Speaking
of the interview, the colonel is reported to
have expressed the opinion that Senator
Sherman, though stating that the glitter of
the presidential nomination was not suffi-
ciently attractive to impel him to pursue it,
would not refuse to head. the Republican
ticket if the Minneapolis convention placed
him there.

MILWAUKEE, May 13.—Henry C. Payne,
member of the Republican national com‘

York, will succeed J. S. Clarkson as chair-
man of the Republican national committee,
providing Mr. Fassett will accept the office.
New York,

To men possessed Of com-
mon intelligence it must seem
a pure waste of money to
print such absurd statements
as one reads in the clothing
advertisements these days——
pure chaff tO- catch gudgeons.
It doesn’t pay us to spend our
money in absurd newspaper
talk, and we reject the theory
that the bigger the lie the
more likely it is to impress
the average consumer of mer-
chandise. ' -
We are conducting a very
large business upon strictly
fair and simple principles. We
make the best men’s and boys'
clothes we can, and, making
them ourselves, we label every
lot of goods with its exact
description and the quality of
the fabric. If it’s not “all
wool” we say so, for the infor-
‘mation of saleman and custo-
mer alike. '
We mark our goods as low
as we can afford to sell them,
