People who live near a pond are of the opinion these nights that frogs are mainly voice. Tin-: Sons of the Revolution are clearly wrong in desiring to place the American Hag upon the new issue of postage stamps. The stars and stripes must never be licked. Yesterday, being the birthday of the American Hag, was duly ceLebrated in many parts of the country. The sen ate, however, did not celebrate it by re moving the duty on bunting. It has transpired during the inquiry into the affairs of the Northern Pacific railway, that the Chicago terminal cost the company twenty-nine millions of dollars. There will no longer be sur prise that the company is now in the hands of a receiver. The Chicago board of trade has driven a well under the bear-pit, the water from which members of the board only may taste. In order to suit the ap petites of a majority of the boys, the water will have tobestrougly tinctured ivith "mountain dew." Congressman Wilson, author of the tariff bill, won't be out of a job, even if his constituents refuse to re-elect ..him, He has been offered the presidency of the University of West Virginia, and the trustees will hold the place open for him until after the November election. Senator Matt Quay is one of the heaviest speculators in stocks and bonds in the senate chamber, and he makes no secret of the tact. As a consequence,- no one has yet proposed to have him in vestigated. He follows speculation as a business, and in his case there is no more harm in it than if he ran a sausage factory or a truck garden . It is not work that the armies of the unemployed that are now perambulat ing the country are seeking, and the pretense that they are in any sense '•industrial" is a hollow mockery. This was forcibly shown at Fargo the other day. when a gang of more than 150 were offered work at current wages in ex cavating for new buildings. But two men of the lot accepted the offer. The remainder were very properly ordered to leave town before daybreak or go into the chain gang. They preferred to travel. The bank statements issued on Sat urday show an increase is- clearings in nearly all the Western cities of note, and an aggregate decrease throughout the country of only 4.L percent. .This is the most favorable ieport we have had for many months, and indicates a revival iv business, manufacturing and building operations that is exceedingly gratifying. Reports from all business centers are more favorable than for a long time past, and experts agree that the financial stringency is almost at an end. The man who is to contest the con gressional seat of Hon. William M. Springer is no novice at the business. Maj. Connolly is a clever gentleman and a talented newspaper correspond ent, and has stood up in the arena only to be knocked down about half a dozen times, lie has been defeated so often that he is beginning to like the sensa tion. It is believed that no man in Springfield would be as grievously dis appointed over his election as Maj. Connolly himself. He is never happier than when nursing the bruises received in a hopeless political conflict. The idea that alcoholic stimulation is necessary for soldiers compelled to endure long marches in warm weather has been completely exploded by a series of experiments conducted in the British army in India. It. was . proved that total abstainers were capable of enduring far greater hardships- than habitual drinkers, and that even the latter stood the stress pt heated weather better without than with liquor. The result will probably be that the liquor ration will be abolished in most branches of the army. It has already been dispensed with in the navy, to the great benefit of the service. It PROVES that the charge that Mc- Bride and other labor leaders sold out the cause of the striking miners is utterly false. They tried to settle the dispute in an honorable manner at a time when the strikers were reasonably self-supporting, and to avoid an abso lute and unconditional surrender when the time. should arrive in which they were on the verge of starvation and were craven suppliants at the feet of the operators. Their motives were mis construed and their methods distorted, however, and they have been accused of treason to those whose interests they were chosen to guard. But the time of their triumph and vindication has come. The most searching inquiry has shown that the employing { class has had no communication with the labor leaders other than that duly authorized and publicly . detailed. The strikers now find themselves in a condition deplo rable in . the extreme. Their own re sources have ; " been : completely ex- hausted, and contributions from"? the outside have ceased. r And yet they re fuse io work. U Necessity, however, will compel them to do so, and they, will bo denied the advantages they might have had if they had accepted the terms originally agreed upon. • s^Cy ■ BKI'TAL PARTISANSHIP;' It is surprising that Comptroller Mc- Cardy should have secured; such blind followers' as were developed in the Board of Aldermen Tuesday night ij.' lie sent an audited pay roll to the Aldermen, accompanied by a note ad vising them not to pass the roll because the membership of the Assembly, is in dispute. £5j The Aldermen are not in dispute, and the impudence of McCardy should have called for "rebuke instead of acquies cence.- ' ~-v". ■ When it comes tc signing the city war rant by the comptroller, if Mr. McCardy chooses to withhold his signature, it is at the proper stage when he must act one way or the other. Prior to that any thing he does is impudent assumption. Instead of awaiting the return of the pay roll claim to him he influences the Republican members of the Board of Aldermen to refuse to pass it. -, :> "-''■ .

William Walter Phelps, late United States minister to Germany, will be universally regarded as a public loss. Although a young man, Mr. Phelps has left his impress upon the history of the country, and during his brief career as a statesman and diplomat showed himself to be possessed of more than ordinary ability. Descending from an honorable family, he found himself on reaching his ' ma jority endowed with a large fortune, and to the management of the estate he bent his energies with such success -as to considerably increase its proportions. He engaged in the practice of law, and became counsel for the Rock Island and the Delaware & Lackawanna roads. He took considerable interest in educa tion, and it was largely due to his efforts that the alumni of Yale college obtained a voice in the management of the institution. For many years he has been one of the trustees of Yale. He was elected to a seat in the house of representatives from New Jersey in 1872, and while there made his mark as a ready debater. He took an active part in the debate on the civil rights bill, declaring that measure unconstitu tional. This cost him his seat in the . house, his constituents re fusing him the compliment of a reuomination. He went as a dele gate to the national Republican conven tion of 1880, and was an ardent sup-" porter of the candidacy of James A. Garfield. After the latter's election he named. Mr. Phelps as United States minister to Austria. At the close of his term he was again elected to congress, and served with marked ability on the committee oh foreign relations. With Harrison's election to the presidency he became minister to Germany, in which position he gave the best of satisfaction. Besides attending to the details of managing a large estate, and paying considerable attention to politics, Mr. Phelps bestowed some time to literary pursuits, and was frequently called upon to address public assemblages of a national character. He possessed a proud nature, but was not arrogant in his demeanor, and in whatever society he was known he was highly esteemed. Although an ' extreme partisan on some issues, he did not. permit his preju dices to blind his perceptions of right, and frequently acted independently of his party. He was precise in matters of dress and deportment, and those who could not see deeper than the exterior thought him affected. . He was, how ever, approachable and companionable, and was popular wherever he was well known and thoroughly understood.' His death' will be . sincerely regretted throughout the country. THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS. There has long been concurrence among all classes of citizens— the Chris tian, the Hebrew and the pagan— that the public schools were not the -proper place for the religious instruction of the young. The right of parents has been recognized to bring up their children to whatever religious -belief they might prefer, or to teach them to disregard all creeds, and in a majority' of the states this sentiment lias been very properly incorporated into the laws, which guard against any attempt at proselyting the young by too zealous religious seels by forbidding all forms of religious instruc tion in the public schools. The wisdom of these laws has not only been gen erally acknowledged, but has been dem onstrated time and again in the healing of religious controversies of long stand ing. But a new movement has beguu to overthrow this system and return to the old and lung-abandoned plan of cram ing religion down the throats of the young by means both foreign to Amer ican conceptions of liberty of conscience and opposed to the enlightened senti ment of the entire civilized world. Very properly, perhaps, the movement origi nates in Chicago. It has for its sponsors a long list of distinguished meu. Among them are such men as President Har per, of the Chicago university; William J . Onahan. probably the most distin guished Catholic layman in America; Charles C. Bonney, president of the re ligious congress at the world's fair ; and W. A. Amberg, • president of the Columbus club. These 'men,, in their petition to the Chicago board of educa tion, which is signed by 00,000 other cit izens, declare that., "as the whole world united without objection : in f the * uni versal praise to 'Our Father who art in heaven' (the trainers of the petition ought to be capable of quoting the Lord's prayer more correctly) during the world's religious congresses or 1893,' we believe that all right-minded classes of Americans now agree on the daily reading in the public schools of. suit able selections from -the Sacred Scrip tures and the recitation of that prayer and the two great commandments upon which hang all the law and the proph ets, thereby fixing in the minds of the children the vital spiritual principle on which good citizenship and the future welfare of our country so . largely de pend." An issue may be made upon each of THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY a MORNING, JUNE . 17, 1894. --TWENTY PAGES. the statements contained in this declar ation.. All right-minded Americans do not agree on the policy of the dally read ing in the public schools of selections from the Sacred Scriptures. A very large majority of Americans do not believe the Scriptures are sacred, and among them may be numbered Presi dent Harper himself, one ot tho signers of the petition, who has. but recently raised a storm in the religious world by demonstrating that tho Scriptures are neither sacred nor veracious, but filled with absurd logical incongruities and historical and scientific misstatements. Would it not puzzle a child taking his first lesson in geography — the well ascertained fact that the world is round —to bear read from the Bible the state ment that an angel stood on each of the four corners of the earth? He would naturally inquire how it came about that a thing which is round had cor ners. , The introduction of Scriptural read ings in the schools would greatly tend towards destroying their usefulness, It would create endless controversies. not all necessarily of a religious charac ter, but pernicious,' nevertheless. The prohibitionist would object to his chil dren listening to Paul's advice to Tim othy to take a little wine for his stom ach's sake; the opponents of dancing would find fault with the statement that there is "a time to dance;" the di vorcee would make strenuous objections to the law of marriage laid down by Christ; the man fond ot pleasure would quarrel with the attempt to teach his children .that much that he does is sinful. ■ : : It is not to be wondered at that the men mentioned should advocate such a measure as the one in question.' None of them are practical. They are mere theorists — men who believe that all human prejudices can be obliterated with a wave of a hand, but who them selves are as intolerant of those who differ from them as the worst bigot who lived in mediaeval times. They assume the virtue of liberality when they have it not, and are wedded to doctrines of religious tolerance so closely that they have no toleration for men who differ from them. Our public schools have got aloni very well without the Bible thus far. The only friction that has taken place has been caused by the attempt to intro duce it as a text book. But it has no more right there than any other of the so-called "sacred books"— the Talmud, the Koran, the book of Confucius, the book of Brahma, or the book of Mormon. There are believers in all of these in our midst, and it cannot be claimed that either of them is equal to the Bible, either in the correctness of the moral precepts iuculcated or the exalted the ories of human existence that are ideal ized. ;.\':v; ; Keep the Bible out of the public schools if you would perpetuate the school system.. If one portion of it is admitted all portions may claim the like privilege, and from the day of its intro duction to the date which shall mark the entire extinction of the chief glory of our republic there will be nothing but wrangling and bitterness, leading to all forms of strife. HAPPINESS. In his epitaph upon himself the poet Gay wrote: Life's a jest, and all things show it I thought so once, and now I know it. . . The question has recently been sub milted to a number of people with whose names the public are mure or less fa mil a "How to'Be Uaopy. Though Poor." Strange as it may seem to some,. not one whose answer is recorded suggests a thought leading directly or indirectly to repiniug or despair, nor do any agiee with the poet quoted that existence is a jest merely. Ou the other hand, the sen timent prevails that HUB Life is real, life is earnest— that its metes and bounds are within the compass of the iudividual, and not altogether at the mercy of the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Marshall P. Wilder, who, if not the most profound of philosophers, is a sen sible man, writes that "an acquaintance with adversity is the best thing in the world for one. It makes a man of him, and is a good thing all around." "Every father should make his son feel adver sity," he says, "aud in after life he will thank him for it." "Adversity," says Anthony Comstojk, "is the burnishing wheel that brightens character. To be content with whatever lot we are placed in is the acme of living, the goal of con tent." ■ " ; ;'.'-• "There are several ways," says Dr. Chauncey M. Depew. "for a man to feel good in time of adversity; one way is to look at those who are worse off than he is; the other way is "to join Coxey's army ; there are two other ways to break adversity's ravage ; one is to commit suicide and the other is to cheerfully and courageously do the best you can and not cry. David Crockett, the famous Kentucky hunter, said when he missed a coon he always picked his flint and tried again. In that way he always ultimately got his breakfast." Murat Halstead says: "First, if you are, poor, do not know it. Take it for granted you are rich; but do not spend more than your income— a rule. Work hard all the time you can. The eight-hour-a-day therry of labor is a public misfortune ana private curse, He who goes to bed weary every night with good work is probably virtuous, and ought to be happy; and if he is thrifty, though he may have but little money, he will not be poor. In the midst of Tolstoi's insane dissipation of strength aud fame he preaches with vio lence unseemly one Idea that may be useful— the beauty and happiness of the simplification of life. Simple lives, with' avoidance of affectations and vanities lives of truth and labor— enrich poverty, and there is happiness in health." Mrs. FranK Leslie says love will brighten every path, even if those who walk along it are weary and without any treasure. Dr. Talmage, Francis Murphy, Baliington Booth, in a word say that in the sincere desire for hap piuess become acquainted with the World's Redeemer— learn to find joy in practical self-denial, economy, honesty, purity of heart and life, without which there can be no happiness, aud with which there is no poveriy. Many others might be quoted, but these suffice to show that the exponents of adversity— in the popular phrase "ca lamity howlers"— though they seem sometimes to have the popular ear and sympathy to the exclusion of all else, are enemies of society, false and vicious counselors, deformed^ and misleading creatures of humanity, if truly they are not more satanic than human. The con tented mind is the producer of hap piness, and there is more reason why it should reign in the poor man's cottage than in the rich man's mansion. An. unintentional injustice : was done in the pension bill recently passed, and a bill has been introduced in congress to rectify it. Under the provisions of the law the widows and children of soldiers or sailors who were not ' naturalized citizens , can draw no pensions, and as a consequence a large number of people -are suffering. The provision was an oversight, it being taken for granted that all soldiers and sailors had been . naturalized. Such is not the case, however.especially among the men of the navy, - who are fre quently ; foreigners, especially,- Scandi navians, who have neglected to take out second papers. ~ "" ~ CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. The physicians" of Hennepin county have taken action in relation to the sequestration .of ... consumption and other tubercular diseases, which should be imitated by physicians generally throughout the country. They have re-, quested the board of health of this slate and local boards of health to place coir sumption aud all diseases due to the tubercle bacillus upon the list of dis eases dangerous to the public health,', and to direct that householders and ' physicians be required to report such' cases to the local health boards as soou '". as such disease Is recognized. The contagious and Infectious char- \ acter of consumption is no longer dis- ' puted in the medical profession. It is, besides, constitutional aud hereditary, and in its ravages it is far more deadly than cholera, small-pox. diphtheria,' or any of the other contagious and in fectious diseases for the quarantining ot which the law makes, ample provis ion. It has been demonstrated that at tendants upon consumptives almost In variably contract the disease, and their danger is largely increased if they happen to be afflicted with any organic weakness of. the respiratory organs. These being facts, there is every reason for the exercise of the same precautious that are taken to prevent the spread of other virulent diseases. Indeed, the necessity is even greater. Thousands of those attacked with cholera and small-pox recover completely, and are as sound physically after the attacks as : they were before, but the victim of con sumption surely wastes away, and slips into the grave in spile of all medical skill. H*E The utmost skill has failed to devise, and the most patient research has failed to discover a cure for consumption. It carries off hundreds of thousands of human beings every year and desolates myriads of homes. Its approach is in sidious, and its pathway is marked by desolation and a deluge of tears. The disease cannot be cured, but in many cases it may be prevented by isolating those afflicted and taking means to de stroy the germs that permeate the at mosphere of the sick room. And it is eminently, proper that the physicians of the country, who are familiar with the character and virulence of the disease, should take the initiative. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If as much attention were bestowed upon the prevention of disease as upon the remedies to be ap plied, the death rate of the country would show a measurable decrease and the span of human life would be per ceptibly lengthened. The good physi cian is as solicitous to prevent as to cure disease among his patrons, and lie who best succeeds in warding off a sick ness is deserving of as much credit as he who applies the remedy after the disease has; seized the patient in its grasp. It is probable that consumption is not the only complaint among those popu larly supposed to be non-communicable that is really transmitted from one to another, either by contagion or infec tion. The periodicity of many diseases has long claimed the attention of the profession. We have seasons when colds seem to be epidemic; when cuta neous diseases seem to be generally prevalent; when affections of one -or the other of the vital organs prevail to an alarming extent. - These are gener ally attributed to climatic causes,' or to impurities in water, or indulgence in unseasonable food. It is' not improb able that the real causes may lie deeper, and that many of these diseases are highly infectious. Their true charac ter, however, can only be demonstrated after patient investigation and experi ment. ",v!/V But the movement referred to is emi nently praiseworthy, and . reflects the highest credit upon the profession. It may be followed in the direction indi cated by far more important action, which will contribute to the reduction of human misery to the minimum. FIGHTING AGAINST IMMO RALITY. It generally takes a very bitter dose to disgust an old Confederate with the Democratic party ami induce him to • support a Republican for office. The candidacy of Col. Breckinridge for re election to congress in the Ashland dis trict has driven a great many oid-time Democrats into the ranks of the opposi tion, and seems likely to precipitate de feat. Gen. Basil Duke, one of the most brilliant eavairy leaders of the Confed eracy, and a Democrat of longstanding, has just announced that under no cir cumstances will he support Col. Breck inridge, but if the alternative is forced upon him he will stump the district in the interest of the Republican nominee, who is a gentleman of good reputation and ability. ?v • J i The signs multiply that Breckinridge will be forced to retire from public life. The moral standard of the people of his district is as high, and their conception ef manly honor as exalted, as in any oth er section of the country. They may have charity for moral delinquencies in duced by passion or a misconception of duly, but they have no tolerance for a man who •■■ brazenly admits a crime against female chastity and seeks to justify it. In that region a woman's honor is esteemed as above price, and is defended by the shedding of blood, if need be. The family circle is a sanctu ary which none dare invade with libid inous intuit except at the peril of his. •life. Col. Breckinridge's crime was doubly damning. He was the legal* guardian of the young girl whom he be trayed, and every obligation of honor required that he should as jealously de fend his ward's chastity as he would his own daughter's. But he proved false to: his sacred trust, and debauched her. - Not content with this, he -has sought to ' brand her with everlasting disgrace, iii order that he himself might | escape the pecuniary peualty of his crime, and has flooded the country with filth from end to end, debasing and debauching the moral atmosphere of the whole country, and bringing not only himself and his victim into disrepute, but covering his state with uy.l&MJSE!tt^ It is to be feared that the people of the Ashland district do not appreciate how much depends upon the result of the pending election. The entire coun try is watching the course of events there with the keenest interest. The issue involved is not one of politics' but of morality, aiid the result will be of less importance to parlies than to the cause of public decency. If Breckin ridge shall be re-elected, the*" country will cjuclude that decency and private character are at a discount among mi tuckiaus. But there are many evidences that the aged rone and self-confessed libertine will be repudiated._ T.ie bet ter classes of the district, without dis- Unction : of party, are arrayed against . him.' -The women, who have: been espe daily outraged by toe cilo.i.d's sham .•'-""? less conduct, have organized to encom pass his defeat, aud have inaugurated a (campaign' the like of which has never • before been seen in our history. They are earnest and . determined, and will make opposition to Breckinridge one of . he requirements of social recognition. It is difficult to estimate the influence they will have, for we , have no prece dents by which we may be guided, but .{(certainly seems as if they can wield a power that shall be decisive on the side of public morality. It will certainly be an everlasting disgrace to Kentucky. if her sons shall approve of the record he has made. It would be far better for them if they should choose a Hottentot, a'negro, or a Republican to represent them in the national legislature. - iGen. Duke will not find himself alone among Democrats who rebel against the candidacy of Col. Breckinridge. irngmwilHijli ' ■ — A DIFFICULT SITUATION. >:! Col. Monfort, of the Windsor, Is very enterprising. Whenever an organiza tion makes his '. hotel its headquarters s he decorates the building in appropriate manner. When the Brotherhood of Engineers met here he had, amid flags and other emblems, a miniature loco motive suspended from one of the balconies. When . the Foresters and Odd Fellows came his dec orations . were symbolical of the orders. But when the National Prison association arrived he was put to his trumps. He did not know whether he ought to erect a church or a penitentiary as a frontispiece for the hotel. He accordingly contented him self with emblazoning in large : letters "JN. P. A.," surrounded by. bunting. As the result he was waited upon last night by a delegation who had imper fectly read the inscription, and advised that he was making himself disliked by advertising that he was an A. P. A. SUPERINTENDENT OF MUSIC. A Malicious Attack • Upon Mr. Gehan. - The outrageous attack made ou John F. Gehan oy the Dispatch last evening is entirely in keeping with the conduct of that paper ever since its pet candi date for mayor was relegated to pri vate life. Because Mr. r Gehan sees fit. to enter the lists as.' a candidate for the position of superin tendent of music in the public schools— a position, by the way, for which he is in every respect eminently qualified— is sufficient for the Dispatch to .visit the vials of its wrath upon him and to in dulge in all the choice epithets for which its columns have become noto rious. ;. PSgyßßsr- "■ ' Mr. Gehan was born aud reared in St; Paul, and from early boyhood hits shown a marked predilection for the study of music. He has taken part in every great musical event gotten up in local circles during the .past twenty years, and today among musical critics is ranked prominent as a vocalist and a teacher of voice culture. He has labored arduously in his chosen pro fession, and his voice has been heard so often in entertainmeuts,. charitable aud otherwise, that his name has come to be a household word. . The president of the school . board, ■ Mr. Willrich, who has sung in many < concerts side by side with Mr. Gehan, will bear cheerful testimony to his abil . ity, both as singer aud leader. G. Seibert, of Seibert's orchestra, who has played sacred music while Mr. Gehan wielded the baton times without number during tire past ten years, has often given expression of his regard for the youug : man's remarkable powers, . both -as . vocalist, leader and reader of music. ' Even the Dispatch admits that "he is a musician of ability," but thinks he ' ought not to be selected because, for sooth, he failed ot appointment for j some other position. The members of the board who know Mr. Gehan will not be led astray by this spiteful attack , by a partisan press. -0.-.'J'o'-Ti'i '":{~?iP ' DARKiGH IS CAREFUL/ iH lie Withholds the Announcement of His Appointments. Chairman Edwaid Darragh, of the Young Men's Congressional league, Fourth district, slated to a reporter yesterday that he had decided not to make public the names of his ap pointees on the executive congressional committee, which,' however, he said would be large enough to thoroughly represent the wishes of the people of the district. He also stated the com mittee had been appointed, and would probably be called together before many days to decide on the candidate for con gress, who will receive the undivided' support of the league. t SHE HAS NO LiOVER NOW. ? LWntton for the Globe. • . It was a beautiful summer night. The air 'was balmy and redolent with the , fragrance of a thousand flowers. It was night such as lovers choose for the sweet communion of congenial souls, for nature was all in tune. Just as the clock in the distant belfry was striking l the hour of 9 Herbert McGillicuddy and Anna Marie Duggan passed out from the shadow of the broad . porch of -'the Duggan mansion and wended their foot steps in the direction of a maple tree whose spreading' branches cast fantastic shapes on the ground beneath. At this point the lovers rested, for these were lovers, and seated themselves on' a rustic bench that oft had embraced them be tween its broad arms. Overhead the little birds chirped a glad greeting and the gentle wind hummed a soft refrain through the murmuring leaves and branches. "Darling, do you love me?" . It was McGillicuddy's voice that made question, and ere -the sound died away he quietly, but firmly, edged himself Dugganwards, and, wrapping his left arm around Marie's lithe and wtllowv form, awaited response. . "You Know 1 do," she falteringly re plied, but she (lured not look lit in" in the face, for Marie was coy and demure. - "Then, darling." huskily whispered McGillicuddy, "let us seal the compact with a kiss." : Suiting the word with an action, he drew his sweetheart to him, but Marie, with downcast eyes, only turned away from him. Her breath came in short pants— trouser. breaths, as it were— but she spoke not a word. "Won't you kiss me, dear." pleaded MpX'illicuddy, who was now, laboring under tense excitement. "I would, darling," said Marie, "but I 'loan not." yd "You cannot."shouted McCillicuddy, "and why not'" ; "Simply because mv breath is full of onions, you idiot.'!

Who that writes or speaks our incon gruous language hasn't found himself' or herself tripped up and stumbling over these "nouns of multitude," some times giving them the singular and sometimes the plural significance, aud discovering that he has .sent a singular verb in unhappy disagreement after a substantative to which a plural mean ing had previously been given.. An edi torial writer in the Philadelphia Record had a sharp reminder of this the other morning, when he read in one of his paragraphs, probably hastily written the night before, that "if the administra tion have determined " * * it has reached a wise conclusion." :.';y". * * * Our merchants probably have no other intention in having these large plate glass windows than to give a more at tractive look to the goods they display in them. It can haidly be that a larger supply of sunlight is intended, as this is defeated by the occupation of the win dows with obstructive wares. But there is a use I see them frequently put to that the builders or merchants did not contemplate. 1 saw lady standing be fore one of Mann helmet's windows the other day, apparently engaged .in ex amining the dress patterns displayed in it. . As 1 passed her I saw that she was utilizing a dark pattern, which made of the glass a very good mirror, to arrange her hair, some locks of ■ which had strayed from their fastenings. I have also made use of these mirrors to make studies in the ego tism, the self-admiration of our race. Many a young fellow 1 have seen cast a glance at the window as he passed and immediately readjust his hat or tie, or straighten out the stoop that his shoul ders had unconsciously drooped into, and as for the girls, bless them, they are continually looking into the windows with dark backgrounds, as if the ad miration our sterner sex willingly and unstintedly accords them was not suf ficient for them. Thinking this over, it occurs to me to suggest to our enter prising merchants the idea ' of placing mirrors, real mirrors, in these windows with their goods as an additional at traction. But. on further reflection, it wouldn't do. Merchants want people to look at their goods, and not at them selves, and if mirrors were there the goods would be out of sight to the gazers, lost in contemplation of them selves. * * « The are some things the price of which wears a charmed life, unhurt by all these storms of finance which make the prices of other things bend and shrink before their withering breath. Rents have gone down until the much berated landlord is in a state of misery which should excite the commiseration of those who hold him up to execration as the embodiment of greedy injustice and hardness of heart. Real estate has fallen until it is a drug and its unhappy owners groan as they see the margin between income and cost of mainte nance narrowing to a close. Wages have gone down and generally what wages buy has fallen proportionately. But it costs just as much to ride a mile on a railway as it did when times were booming and every one writing himself up a little richer as the boom carried him ou its crest. It costs as - much to carry a bushel of 50-cent wheat as it did to carry dollar wheat. Than the bootblack wants the same nickel for a shine that his predecessors did before the war; lawyers still ask a dollar for . filling in the blank of a deed or a mortgage, just as their forefathers did when blanks were unknown and it had all to be writ tin. Doctors' fees have not shrunk in the ieast, and dentists pile the price on a trifle thicker, if anything. But the barber holds his own amid all the ups and downs of prices. It Is a dime a shave now, as it was when the boys of '01 had their cheeks and chins scraped, j and it is still 15 cents in the more styl- ! ish "tonsorial parlors," while it has cost ! one a quarter to get his hair cut in any year since the war. All these occur to me as I read again one of those laments about the demonetization of silver, which, in falling, has dragged down the price of everything with it. * a * "The papers are full of the movement of the Coxeyites," said Gen. Becker, as we rode home to lunch in our carriage, kindly provided by Tom Lowry, the other day. "But they give small atten tion to what is vastly more significant and dangerous than are all the poor, deluded fellows wno are tramping to Washington. I mean the sugar investi gation in the senate, which shows clear ly enough, in spite of the guarded an swers and blunt refusals to answer, that the manipulators of the trust can coerce or corrupt senators to permit them to rob the people, under a law of congress, of $15,000,000 a year. These men, and . not the poor tramps and strikers, are the enemies of society, and are traitors to the government. If I could sit in a con stitutional convention I would write a new definition of a traitor, and instead of defining him as a man who took up arms against hiscountry, I would define him as the man who bribed legislators, and I would provide for him a drum head court-martial and in ike the pen alty that the villain be snot to death. It is these men who are sappiog the foundations of the republic." * - •* * » '■ The shifting of the centers of busi ness and residence in cities is an inter esting study, having, as to the latter, much of pathos. There is no sentiment in business. Its goal is profit, . and it moves from one to another locality as the one or the other promises greater prof its. It probably has its laws, but no one has formulated them, and a fortune awaits " the genius who will discover them, but keep them to himself. He will then be able to go into any city, and, applying his law to the situation, determine where the great retail center will shift to, and heel himself forever by judicious investments in its line of march. I throw this out as a suggestion to the great army of the unemployed real estate men, as a pointer, filing no caveat or copyright on the idea, but merely hinting that, wheu they have discovered the law and made their fortune by applying it, they give me some slight token of their ap preciation. If, like Agassiz, 1 were not "too busy, to make money," I might tackle the problem myself. Rents are the barometer indicating this shifting. The landlord, is quick to see that the tide of business is setting towards his property, and the smaller dealers, or those vocations demanding lower rents, are soon aware, in demands for higher rents, of the landlord's keen discern ment. The vocations in which ' liberal margins of profit permit payment of high rents, and which must find location in the places where the larger ' currents : of traffic move, crowd out the other ones, and the -meaner ; buildings give way to the trade palaces, while the smaller-margined occupations swing in behind and take up the deserted quar ters, finding \ themselves belter housed than "'. before,' and usually '■-. at' lower rentals. ;■": "■■•.; But it is in the tings of the residence quarters that the pathos ; comes in. As the town grows aud; the business sec- Hon expands its limits, it begins to trench on those portions which were the residences of the men with business down town.The wealthier, who can, move to remoter portions and build their homes anew, larger and handsomer,' pretentious; as their, means allow, and the old homes, with all their associa tions of births and deaths, of growing children, of happy wooiugs and mar riages, are turned over to the agent and rented to those who cannot yet afford a home. The more capacious mansion, too large for the ordinary family, passes into the occupation of the landlady who converts It into a more or less fashiona ble boarding house. Thus there comes into existence between the growing business section and the newer residence district a margin, here wide, there nar row, of old-time homes, with their sigus of day board,' board and rooms and fur nished rooms, telling a sad story of a present struggle for a livelihood min gled with memories of homes made cheerful by prosperity and happy with family love. I can appreciate the senti ment that rebelled against turning over the home in which long years of mar ried life had been spent, where children were born and grew and romped, where death had come to hallow rooms with tender .memories, where every room was rich with cherished associations— turning all this over to strangers Indif ferent to the events that made the home a sacred place, when social considera tions and increased affluence and re moval of neighbors compelled the abandonment of the home for a new one, and which prompted the owner to tear down the old house aud leave its : site vacant rather than have its associ ations profaned by the stranger. * * » I nope that there are few of the read ers of the Globe, who feel obliged, from a sense of duty or otherwise, to wade through the speeches of grave senators which for some months now have beon lumbering the pages of that remarkable daily journal published by our Uncle Samuel for the edification of the gentlemen who spend their time in talking, ostensibly to each other, but really to the newspapers and their dis tant and indifferent constituents. Page after page, ten, twenty, fifty. a hundred of them, are filled with long disserta tions on the multitudinous phases of the tariff, read by some wise man sol emnly from written pages, while those nominally addressed sit about with un listening ears, talking, reading, writing, or passing out to the adjoining rooms to smoke and gossip while the speaker drones along through "his set speech. They do not expect tochauge the opinion ' of any one in or out the senate any more than they expect their own judgment to be moved by the same kind of dull, prosy speeches of the senators on the other side. No possible good is done by the speech; nothing new is contributed to the thought ot the topic, and about all that is accomplished is the making of a record sore to rise up in the future to plague the speaker when, in the ter giversations of policies and parties, the speaker is obliged to support a different and antagonistic policy. But as I plod along through these windy orations and see in my imagination the unhealing senators sitting under the infliction of the speech with what grace they can, it brings to my mind, by that operation of our memories which is always calling up similarities, a scene I once witnessed in the insane asylum at Rochester, where three poor crazy, women sat on a window ledge of one of the wards, each talking at top of voice at the others, aud with a seriousness and earnestness visible in the tense muscles of the face a nd the eager look of the eyes, neither hearing nor caring what the others were saying, out each talking away as if eaih were uuder compulsion to fill a hundred pages of a Congressional Rec ord with arguments showing the beauty, the beneficence and the glory of a pro tective tariff. P. J. S. A LITTLE SURPRISE. [Written. for the Globe.l I sat in the parlor with Kitty one night. I sat "neatb the spell of her eyes; In the gieam of those orbs we dispensed witn a light. Her father and mother were both out of sight. And 1 had a little surprise. I wanted to tell her tee old. old theme. A story of ardent love; But somehow or other my speech wouln't flow. And somehow or other my tongue wouldn't go, I sat there aud didn't move. She spoke of the weather and topics like that. I listened and never said "boo;" So frightened, I hardly Knew where I was at, I sat and I thought and I thought and I sat, But what could a poor fellow do? I hadn't the courage to open mv heart, . And tell her the love that was" there; The spirit was willing— the llesh very weak. My voice flickered out in an effort to speak:. Oh, would that some lodge far away I could seek ! For I wouldn't and couldn't declare. At last I resolved to shake off my restraint. And warble my loving refrain; s So. summoning all my best strength to com mand, I firmly, but quietly reached for her hand— With the other her beautiful facelct she fanned. Unmoved by the terrible strain. I sat on the sofa with Kitty that night, 1 sat 'nealh the spell of her eves: In the gleam of those orbs I dispensed with a light. Her father and mother hove sudden in sight. And 1 got a little surprise. —Michael Joseph Donnelly. -zi* — Not Always So. Lady— l suppose you haven't always been like this, have you? Tramp— Nope; there was weeks after I eat the pie you give me that nobody t bought I'd ever get up again.

It was carried— 4s-5. >V On ready-made clothing the rate was fixed at 45 per cent ad valorem (the present duty being SO per cent). Mr. I'effer called attention to the fact that the 80 per cent on ready-made clothing under the present law included the compulsory duty of 20 per cent for the duty on wool, so that the teal reduc tion of the manufacturers' duty in this paragraph was but 15 per cent. The rate on cloaks, dolmans, ulsters and other outside garments for ladies and children, composed wholly or in part of wool, was fixed at 50 per cent; on webbings,, gorings, suspenders, braids, lace, embroideries, etc., 80 per cent. On Aubusson, Axminster and moquette carpets, and Oriental, Ber lin and other similar rugs, Mr. Aldrich moved to increase the rate from 35 per cent to 50 per cent. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Piatt both protested that the rates on carpets were inade quate, and that they would continue the fight for an increase when the bill was BEPOKTED TO THE SENATE. > Mr. Aldrich's amendment was lost, I leaving the rate 35 percent as the house bill. The rates on Saxony, Wilton and tourney velvet carpets and tapestry, Brussels and treble ingrain and all chain Venetian carpets were fixed at 35 per cent. Amendments offered to in crease the rates in each instance were lost. The rates on wool, Dutch and two-ply ingrain carpets, druggets and backings and carpets not specially provided for were fixed at 35 per cent. The Jones amendment to make the j wool schedule go into effect Jan. 1, 1895, instead of Dec. 2. 1894, as provided in the house, was agreed, and the house provision subjecting the rates in the woolen schedule to 1 per cent reduction annually until 1900 was stricken out. Schedule L, "silks and silK goods." was then taken up, with the under j standing that paragraph 298. relating to ! silk partially manufactured from co ! coons, waste silk, thrown silk not ad • vanced more than singles and - silk i thread and yars, and paragraph 294, re j lating to velvets, plush, etc., be passed over till Monday. The rates on webbings, gorings. belt- I ings, fringes, etc., made wholly or in part of silk was fixed at 50 per cent; jon laces aud embroideries, handker i chiefs, veils, ready-made clotning and I other articles of wearing apparel, j composed in whole or in part of silk, 50 per cent, and other manufactures of I silk no*, specially provided for 45 per | cent. This completed the silk schedule, and then, at 4:50 o'clocK. ou motion of j Mr. Harris, the senate went into execu i tive sessiou, and at 5 o'clock ad j journed until Monday at 10 o'clock.
