R. The young man to was so intoxicated last week that his girl got out of the buggy and remained at a farm house until site could get another way to ride home, should go to some uncivilized country and remain there. It Is disgrace to Ids family, to the community, to the civilization of the day, to himself, to ever thing honorable. 1 ts a pitable ight nnd without any excuse for a oung man to so lower his manhood and self respect ns to get drunk even If he hides himself in the woods till the debauch passes, but to go Into society. into tlie company of Indies, simpering, grinning, with stammering tongue and blood-shuteyes nnd wicked breath is beyond the forbearance of respectability Good clothes nnd diamond pins won't cover the low depravity of such a brute.

5he was a de-voteif wife and loving mitilier. Thus does death ike away the mother, wife and leave desolate the helirts of hm-nand and OhlldrPn. Tfuly mysterious are the wnylbf Providence. Tills woman in the year vigof with hopes nnd aims for this future, with high purpose to fur-round lief thildren with the Joys of living, to enthrone her husband with he blessing? of home, gone; leaving sadness, weeping nnd grief. To the husband and children her memory will ever brighten the pnthway of their lives and theii only consolation 18 the hope of hieeting her In the Land of tbs Leal where there it no tuoft unth; The fiee aud unlimited coinage of silver can be safely adopted whet) other vountries full into line and i uJopt this course.

Wherein the coinage the worlds silver by the United States standard, whatever it may be, is going to help us we fail to 6ee. Tbe free coiuage of all silver produced in the oitutry might do no harm, but to go further than this would be mad-ness. The party or parties who adopt tins theoiy do so only for temporary success fur it is certain that this i aze will evaporate and explode when tbe people get down to sober second thought. It i6 like the doctrine promulgated lately, to have sub-trvn ur-ies, government ware houses, etc. This government can make money for this country but not for the world at large unless the world is in it with Dont bo afraid to speak your sentiments on the silver question.

If any candidate for couuty office in Sedgwick county thinks his chance is weakened by expressing himself tor or against the free, unlimited coinage ot silver he is fooled. Most ot the fellows who iavor free, unlimited coinage think they would have tl eir pockets full of it in a few weeks, but wouldnt, it would be just as bard to get then as now and the fel. lows opposed to it would say, I told you so, while both sides would soon learn that you fellows who carried off the i fiices had very little to do with the matter after all. The crowd which daily gathers aud arranges tie financial affairs of this nation, at the corner of Main aud Douglas is com posed of the fellows who settles this question. Govehnou Mohrims idua that- the enforcement of law is a local question to be settled by public sentiment in each community is a dangerous one if carried to a conclusion.

The idea once advan 6ci by Governor Lewel. ling that under certain conditions tbe individual wnfe above the law is not a bit more dangerous or aboard than this idea of Governor Morrills. Yet Governor Morrill denounced Lewel ling for Such Sentiments. Jtinit 1opular Frror on Tlil Subject Cor-rccicil. There are many fairly-well educated persons who can not nodet stand that ventilation does not necessarily mean an open window or a draught of wind, and who would fancy themselves ill-provided with pure uir even in the best ventilated rooms wherein those objectionable features were not eerta.n evi donee to eye and feeling that omc pure outside air was entering.

"The two ideas of wind and coolucss form the whole of the public care or knowledge in regard to ventilation. There is also the incidental belief that foul air rises, and that there must be some means provided for letting it out. This idea takes concrete form iu the little whirligigs seen in so many office windows, anil the tendency towards opening windows at the top on general principles. The general belief nnd tradition is to make a hole somewhere in the upper part of the room, and then all foul odors, bail air, and other Improper things in the atmosphere will quietly, and of their own uecord and free will, let themselves out. In these crude ideas Wo have practl eally all that the public knows or cares about ventilation.

In the actual pruc tice of the individual there is no Intel ligent appreciation of pure air. nor can most peoploSl whether tbe uir they breathe is tit for respiration. Even people belonging to the educated classes do not use the evidence of theii senses in regard to the quality of the air in their houses. It is the duty of sanitary and ventilating engineers to educate the pub lie up to a higher plane us regard ventilation: uml in order to do this "there must be more general apprecin tlon of the difference between purr air and foul air from their own char ucteristlcs rather than ofroin elr eumstances which have nothing to dr with the ease. This means, of course that attention must be given to meth ods for testing the quality of air and of itself, without reference tr visible means of supply trig it, or to it sensible effects upon the surface of thr human body.

"When this educational work has been uteeotapli.slied the tick! of the engiqeet iVho devotes himsel' exclusively to ventilation will be thv widest of uny belonging to the cnl necring profession. Philttdelphir Ucont 1.
