Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold In When the experiment of our govern ment was undertaken the chart adopted for our vuidance wat tbe constitution and departure fmm the lines laid down is fiilure. It id ool? by a strict adherence to the direction they indicate and by re stratot witam the iimita'jnns they az that we can furnish proof to the world of the fitness of the American people for self-government. Tbe equal and exact justice of which we boast as the underpins: prinniple of our institutions should not be confined to the relations of our ciiizMis to each other. The government itself is under bond to the American people that in the exercise of its function and powers it will deal with the body of our citizens in a manner scrupulously honest anil fair and absolutely just. Communism is a hiteful thing, and s menace to peace and organized govern ment, but the communism of organized wealth and capita , the outgrowth of overweening cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the communism of oppressed poverty and toil, which, ex asperated by injustice ana discontent, at tacks with wild disorder tbe citadel of rule. He mock a the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich, aud that they, in turn, will care for the laboring poor. Any intermediate between the people and their government, or the least dele gation of the care and protection the government owes to the humblest citizen in the land, makes the boatt of free in stitutions a g'ittering delusion and the pretended boon of American citizenship a shameless imposition. There should be no scheme accepted as satisfactory by which the iburdens of the people are only apparently reduced. Ex travagant apprupriations of money, with all their demoralizing consequences. should not be tolerated, either as a means of relieving the treasury of its present surplus or as furnishing pretexts for re sisting a proper reductiou in tann rates Existing eyils and injustice should be honestly recognized, boldly met and eN lectively remedied. There shoulj be no cessation of the struggle until a plan is perfected, fair and conservative toward existing indus tries, but which will reduce the cost to consumers of the necegsaries of life, while it provides for our manufacturers tbe advautHge of freer raw materials, and permits no injury to the interests of American labor. The cause for which the battle is wged is comprised within lines clearly and distinctly defined. It should never be compromised; it is tbe people s cause. The preservation of the partitions be tween tbe proper subjects of federal and local care and regulation is of such im pnrtance, under the constitution, which is the law of our very existence, that no consideration of expediency or senti ment should tempt us to enter upon doubtful ground. We have undertaken to discover and proclaim the richest blessings of a free government with the constitution as our guide. Let follow the way it points out. It will not mislead us. Laws which open a door to fraudulent acquisition or an administration which permits favor to rapacious seizure by a ravorea rew of expanded areas that many should enjoy, are accessory to offenses against our national welfare and human.. ty not to be too severely condemned or punisnea. If the establishment of vicious prece dents is continued, if tbe granting of pensions be not divorced from partisan and other unworthy and irrelevant con siderations, and if the honorable name of "veteran unfairly becomes by these means but another term for one who con stantly clamors for the aid of all the gov eminent, there is danger that injury will be done to the fame and patriotism of many whom our citizens all delight to honor, and that a prejudice will be aroased UDjust to meritorious applicants for pensions. These "words fitly spoken these ap'i Dies of gold are all from President Cleveland's last message to congress. They shonld be treasured in the hearts of the people, for they contain the very es sence of political wisdom the very pith and marrow of our theory of government the fundamental truths upon which free institutions are founded, Indianap olis SentinH. MANAGEMENT OF-THE BABY DUR ING THE FIRST WEEK. Batting a KflMHl Table Tm Economy. HapploM of tbe - Married Pleasure Within Rrach Young Peple Care of the I-efp -Odd and KoUh. The management of the baby during the first wtmk of ita existence may be summed up in one word quiet. A new born Infant, ay the wise ones, haa little mere perception than a jelly fish. It is a tiny Uundle of flesh and hlood a packet of potentialities rather than an actual tinman entity. Even grant ing ail this the fact remains that the wee frame contains in miniature all the essential parts that bring happiness or misery to an older child. This morwil of humanity has the capability for being comfortable or uncomfortable as fully developed as if it were five years old. It shrinks from cold; it suffers from pin pricks or rough usage; it knows, poor tittle creature, the pangs of colic, and its nervous aystem in in a sufficiently advanced state to render it keenly susceptible to tbe glare of bright light or to such loud noises as a heavy treadorthebangiugof doors. Add to this that its soft velvety skm is in a state of sensi tiveness unknown to theepidermis toughened by contact with our atmosphere and by fric tion, and it will readily appear why the little new comer should be enveloped in tranquillity and tenderness as in a garment. Almost equal in importance to this con dition for the small stranger is that of warmth. While the npirit may have come. as fond mothers love to think, from a climate where the air ia neither too hot nor too cold, the body has left a much higher and more even temperature than that which now sur rounds it- The atmosphere that seems none too cool to o!der people is chilling to the deli cate organization accustomed heretofore to a warmth of &8 degs. It is, of course, out of the question to keep the temperature of a room at this point. The child will in time become aoc Mmated to the atmosphere in which he is henceforth to live. But while this process is going on the baby most be wrapped in soft warm clothing that will to a certain exten ; make up for what be has just quitteo. W ithout going bo far as those who declare that tbe cuticle of a new born infant is so exquisitely tender that even the slightest touch causes him pain, it must be conceded that his skin is far more sensitivetban is ordinarily sup posed. It should be submitted to as tittle chafing as possible. Covered with the soft est flannel and hneu, it will become tough ened by such gradual means that the experi ence will be unaccompanied by pain. Too mueh cannot bo said in condemnation of the practice of 'hardening" infants by barbarous methods as bathing them in cold water, subjecting them to rude handling and similar harsh courses. One would affirm that the only excuse for such treatment of a tender little baby was ignorance, were it not that it is pursued by those whose reading and study of the subject should have taught them wisdom. The baby's eves should for a long time be carefully shielded from the light. Some nurses say that babies are blind at birth, as are kittens and puppies. Even were this the case, the glare of sunshine or gas upon the translucent covering that shields the sight should be avoided. Monthly nurses require a good deal of watching in this respect. One of them, who could not herself sleep except in a darkened room, alleging that the least ray of light upon her eyelids was enough to waken her, would lay the slumbering baby she had in charge with his face turned toward the unshuttered window or the un screened gas. To expostulations she returned always the same answer: "Why, the child is asleep! his eyes are shut T and seemed to con sider that a sufficient reasou why the little one's eves should be unshaded. Loud noises often cause young babies acute suffering. Before they are old enough to distinguish between the voices of those about them they wi 11 cry ont as in pain when there is loud talking near them, and start and quiver from head to foot at the slamming of a door or window or the falling of a piece of furni ture. Tbe whole delicately balanced system seems to feel the jar. Well authenticated cases are recorded where the death of a ner vous babr baa resulted from a sudden loud noise, such as the firing of a gun or pistol in the vicinity, or any like violent and sudden report These are extreme instances, but tbe fact of their occurrence should put parents and nurses on tbeir guard to spare young babies the shocks that would have been noth ing to those of less easily unstrung nerves. In the endeavor to secure quiet for mother and child, visits must be tabooed. TSo callers except the physician and the immediate members of tbe family should be admitted to the sick room until at least a week after the bttle one's arrival. It will do the baby no good to be ex hi hi ted to a succession of ad miring friends and relatives, its chief busi- s for tbe first few weeks of its exsteuce to eat and sleep. These duties are se riously interfered with if he is to be con stantly on dress parade. Another consider ation which should carry weight with every mother is that a baby is never less beautiful than when it is under a fortnight old To the unprejudiced observer its charms will be more potent as it advances in age than they are while its features are an indistinguish able magenta knot. The food for the baby, and how it is to be administered, will be treated at length in s succeeding chapter. It may not be amiss, however, to offer a protest here against over- feedm ; the child at tbe outset. Many physi cians advise and practice giving the baby nothing for the nrst twenty-four hours ex cept a few teaspoonf uls of cool not cold- water. Others follow the old fashioned method of putting the infant to the breast as soon as tbe child has been washed and dressed. The milk does not come in full force until the third day or after, but nature has provided a sufficient nourishment in the coiostrum, or first milk. 1 his "physics" the babe, as the old nurses say, ana sustains its strengtwuntil the arrival of the full supply m tbe breast.

Alse The Neat Hon Still Try Cl"s S Iemo ermtK Hopeful-Blair Haa an All-Km- bracing Labor Informal Ion Scheme Ita Provision! In IlriMf Notea. Washington City, Den. 7. Congress opened debate all along the tine yesterday, tbe house having for a subject the refunding of the direct taxes and the senate the much discussed tariff. When the direct tax bill was takan up In the bouse Caswell explained that the simple purpose of the bill wan to refund to the states What Tree Economy Is. TVhen you come to think of it, there ore very few women who know what true econ omy is. It comes to some naturally to save and take care of what they have; others may try all their lives and never learn the first principles of economy. I have seen women go shopping and come home bragging of how well they had done with a certain amount of money; probably for $10 show you two sses and a lot of other little things, and tell you how cheap they bad been bought, thinking they bad been verv economical. when, if they had put the entire $10 in one dress of good material that would outwear the two bought, they would realty have prac ticed economy. True economy is always to get the very best of everything; it is not the quantity we get lor our money, but the qual" ity. You often hear ladies talking of making: over clothes and how proud tbey are of it. when in all probability they have spent more In adding part new than if they had bought all sow material, not remembering the Scrip ture saying: "Nomanputtethapieceof new garment upon an old ; otherwise then both tnaketh a rent, and tbe piece that was taken out of tbe new agreetn not with the old. It takes a good deal of judgment to exer cise economy. Some people save in one way and spend twice as much in another, and reason'ln this way: "Well. I saved so much on such a thing, I dont see why I cannot spend more on this," when a little reflection would show them that they are not saving all by this way of reasoning. In our house keeping there are many avenues to guard we wish to be economical housekeepers, and every woman should study her husbands in terest in this matter. No matter bow well off people are there is no necessity for the waste that we often see indulged in. Buying provisions in small quantities is a bad plan; there Is a great deal of money wasted in this way. Of course it requires judgment, but witn a little attention one soon learns, and economy becomes an easy lesson. It is truly pitiable to see the ignorance that really exists as regards true economy. The rich know more about it than the poor; the great desire tbe latter class have to dress and appear like those in better circumstances causes many of them to waste their hard earned wages in drees and finery of alt sorta Dress causes more extravagance with women than anything else, and if they could only realize bow much better they appear dressed according to their means, it would do away witn a great deal of extravagant waste time, strength and money.

This did not include the 15 per cert, commission llowed the states or parties who paid the tax. Tbe amount to be cancelled, now un collected, was $VJ,5JB,401. Oates said that the bill was anronstitn tional and nujuL He sent to the clerk's desk and had read for information a series of amendments which he proposed to crier at the proper time. Tbe nrst refunds the cotton tax; the second permits persons who paid that tax to bring suit in the court of claims to recover tbe amount paid ; the third revives the right to action in the court of claims under the provisions of the captured and abandoned property act, and the fourth directs the secretary of the treasury, in making payment and settlement of tbe direct tax, to take into account and set off any amount due by any state to the United estates undfr the act of June 2S, 186, "to regulate tbe deposits of public money. Barnes of Georgia said that tbe provisions of the bill seemed equitable, but the direct tax of 1 Sol was aland tax, a legal tax, a general tax, a constitutional tax. The tax on cotton was a special tax, an illegal tax. unconstitutionri tax. It was a special land tax upon cotton lands of tbe south. He quoted from declaration of the framers of the constitution to prove that in their opin ion a direct tax was a tax upon land and a per capita tax on slaves. Caswell inqnired what was the distinction between the tax on cotton and tbe tax on tobacco. Barnes replied that there was no distinction whatever. So far as raw, unmanufactured tobacco was taxed, the tax was illegal and unconstitutional Kerr of Iowa said that one of his objec tions to tbe refunding of the cotton tax was that during the years when the tax was cob lected the producers received so large a price for their cotton that the law was really to their advantage. Hooker of Mississippi took the floor in op position to tbe DHL tie wa not mirprised. he said, that no gentleman on tbe other aide was preparad to give any reason for ad vocating tbe extraordinary proposition to take from tbe treasury back taxes paid by the citizens and distribute them among tbe several states, tie nused the note of warn ing that if congress passed this bill, it would not be long before it would be said that in order to canalize the taxation the in come tax would have to be refunded to those persons who bad paid it Pending further debate tbe committee rose. The iron schedule was the bone of conten tion in tbe senate. Plumb called attention to the paragraph as to beams, girders, and Joists, and spoke of the iron and steel com binations in the country. He moved to amend by reducing tbe rate from M cents per pound to 0 8 cents. Harris called attention to tbe fact that the existing duties on these articles 'Was equiva lent to an ad valorem rate of 103. T per cent ; that the rate of 0.6 cents per pound, proposed in tbe bouse bin, was equivalent to per cent ; and that tbe rate proposed in the sen ate substitute was equivalent to 90.42 per cent He moved to amend the amendment by fixing tbe rate at 0.6 cents per pound. Allison opposed Harris' amendment, say ing that it went to tbe root of the whole iron and steel schedule, lie bad no doubt that. If the present rate of duty were maintained, the competition would be sufficient in a very abort time to braas down tne prices. Aldrich also opposed Harris' amendment. The adoption of the amendment, he said. would necessarily involve the recommittal of the bill, or iU abandonment. It would certainly be an abandonment of the protect ive feature of tbe buL The prices of struc tural forms of iron aud steel were not ex cessive now.

It Kails to riecc. but Kill'. Only One of the Employes. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec, 7. A toui crash, followed by a thundering roar of falling walls, alarmed tbe citizens living in the vi cinity oi Niagara and Maryland streets at 3 m. yesterday, reople rushed to tbe scene. and were horrified to see terrified workmen of Dieh'.'s malt house rushing from the huge brick building on the corner. Ttu brick alls had fallen to, and it was hard to tell how many people were buried. The falling of tbe walls was accompanied by the break ing down of six big malting tanks. In four of tbe tanks were thousands of bushels of barley soaking for malting. Tbe grain and water began to pour out in rivers, and in an incredibly short space of time Niagara street for some distance was of a dirty, yellowish color. The frightened workmen tried to find out ho were missing. Fortunately the number was BmalL Flod Meyer, a maltster, and Stephen Ansa were ail that were found to be missing After several minutes bad been spent in digging out the debris. Arise crawled out ot tbe ruins, covered with malt. plaster, and dirt. A few minutes later be told a reporter be was swimming a vat on the sixth floor when he suddenly beard a terrible crash. Tbe tank which he was skimming began to fait downward and he held on for dear life. He went down until be lost bis sense. The tint thing he knew was when he was pulled out. A search was made for Meyer, who was working on tbe same fl or, but in spite of the work done by the fire department, who removed tons of malt and debris, be could not be found. He must have gone to tbe bottom of tbe build ing. There were ltiOO bushels of malt on the top floor alone. Yesterday was the first time the m ltmg operations were started. and tbe conveviag of large quantities of water to the upper floors possibly caused the collapse. Last night a force of thirty or forty men were set to work with shovels to clear away tbe barley and brick under which the body of Meyer was supposed to be. At about 8 clock they succeeded in removing one of tbe big tanks which was buried under the barley. Lnder this tank was found other. Inside of this, in a sitting posture, covered with dirt, was found the lifeless body of Fred Meyer. His hands clutched an edge of the tank, and his appearance in dicated that be died of suffocation. He was not bruised, and it is thought no bones were broken. He leaves a widow and two child ren. Another workman named Michael Wynett had his leg broken by a rafter which fell upon him.

Decent rail sat Ion the Ground-Work of the New Organisation Its Three Central Prlnetp.es No Con fl let with the Knight And No Cm for 'Scabs" Knights of Labor Miners Join Hands with the Fed eration Bis; Hallway Colon. Chicago, Dec 7. The "Brotherhood of United Labor will be the name of tbe new organisation that T. B. Barry, of East Sag inaw, Mich., is preparing to start From private letters to bis friends ia Chicago it appears that this new order has an excellent prospect of success. One of tbe strongest points that will assist it is tbe fact tbat the organizers are starting on an entirely inde pendent plan for tbe purpose of f orming a new labor society, and not for tbe purpose of breaking np the Knights of labor. At least this intention ia not avowed, and thereby one of tbe principal sources of failure of all former re bellions among the Knights of Labor it avoided. Barry has prepared and is about to issue an address, which he haa sent to his friends in Chicago before publishing it at his home. It sets forth tne objects of the new organization in strong language, and is alto gether an interesting and important docu ment He begins with a reference to the Irish land league movement, which he says taught the Irish people self-reliance, and gained more for them than any previous movement, and this self-reliance is the pith of his own scheme. He savs: Tbe condition of the tollers makes necessary an organization that will teach srlt-rehance to the masses, be broad in principle, and fearless In its advocacy of human rights; while federating labor 8 forces under one head through a common obligation and password, yet an organization that will re snect thn rights of trades to control their own affairs without tbe interference from dicta tors or autocrats. Such an organization will the Brotherhood of United Labor be. It will be es tablished on the decentralized basis. It will leave to trades or central branches complete jurisdic tion and control over their own afTairs and leave to those txidies the right to enact, amend, or ap peal their own laws and commission their own organizers; will teach the referendum and en courage its practice. If disputes or controversies arise between members and their employers they will be settled by those most conversant with the trouble, and not by men who know nothing about tbe cause or complaint. "The cardinal principle of the Brotherhood of Unltd Labor will be land, currency, and trans portation reform; for beneath all the social ques tions of our time these three are of primary and universal importance, and are now agitating the great minds of tbe world. 1. The right of man to the use of the earth. 2 The taking from usurers and shyloclts the right to contn-1 our cut reocy. 3. The governmental ownership of the means of transporting persons, freight, and in telligence and the taking of thooe engines of hu man happiness out of the hands of stock gam blers and speculators and operating them for tbe benefit otTr'xlucer and consumer. w hile seeking asetttement of those questions we shall laitor for ameliora iva terms, such as ths reduction of the hours of labor to eight per day, the probioition of child labor, atxjliiion of the contract system in the employing of convicts. abolition of the contract system on national, state, and municipal works; prohibition of foreign labor under contract, the purification of our politics through tbe adoption of the Aus tralian system of voting in fact, all legitimate means for the improvement of the human family mentally, morally, socially, and physically. He is uot fighting the Knights of Labor he says ftnd the new organization will maintain friendly relations with all organ ized labor. It will udraw tbe line closely on scabs and scabisrn" and will not have any thing to do with -unfair" people. All the details of tbe plan of organisation have not yet been decided upon, but it will be more of a federation than a compact na tional body like tbe Knights of Labor. One of tbe greatest dangers to labor associa tions is believed to be the accumulation ot large sums of money at one central point at the disposal of some central authority. In tbe Brotherhood of United Labor there will be no money at the disposal of the general or federal officers. It is thought that tbe sale of stationery with the letter-beads of the order to tbe local organizations and the fees for charters will be enough to keep up the central office, which will be more in the nature of a but of information than an executive office, Tbe trades-union principle, which tbe knights have tried in vain to stifle, will be folly rec ognised and whatever money each trade collects in the form of dues or otherwise will remain in the bands of each trade organiza tion. In case of a deficit at headquarters tbe individual trades may be called upon to contribute pro rata. The only thing tbat the various sovereign and federated trades will have in common will be a password and the ritual or initiation ceremonies. Commissions will be issued as soon as tbey can be printed to those who have declared a willingness to co-operate in tbe new move ment it applied for to T. B. Barry, at East Saginaw, Mien.
