HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIONS.

The House met at 10 o'clock, with not more than
thirty members. They were all on their feet at
once, however, and gathered about the SPRAK.

THE grand organ In the Cathedral of Or
leans is about to be taken down and thor.
oughly repaired and augmented by all the
modern improvements. This organ is histori.
cal. 1t was built In l702 for the Church OF
the Benediciines at Fleury-sur- Loire, inaugu-
rated on Whit Sunday, 1908, and removed to
Orleans in 1926. 1t was greatly injured in
1899, but was restored. Since that time It has
suffered more or less, but most severely during
the war of 1870. A grand concert, under the
patronage of Nine. Mcmahon, is soon to be
given in Paris to raise funds towards the ex-
pense OF these repairs.

upon after consultation with number of

THE London Daily Ners considers the
success of the Glibustcring section of
the Democrats would have caused q
Republican reaction ruinous to the
future prospects of the Democrats. 1t
thinks the South will be better off in some res.
poets than 1t would have been under Mr..
TmDEN, as southerners will now equally con-
troll their own local affairs, without having the
same temptation to abuse power as they would
have had in the case Of complete Democratic
success. The State Governments, representing
the white population, while they, at the same
time, are bound over to keep peace with the
blacks by the existence of Republican Fed
eral Executive, may turn out to offer better
escape from the difficulties of the situation
than would the election Of President with
q less disputed title.

THE Democrats in the Ohio Legislature Fri
day passed resolution declaring that
"HAYEs had received 1856 votes by fraud,
perjury, &C., and that we are sorry for 1t, be-
cause it destroys our faith In the mercy, JUS
tice, and benehcient goodness Of the Almighty
God, whom we have been taught to believe
was the defender and protector Of right In
this, that he has allowed yillainy and moral
perjury to triumph over truth, honesty, and
virtue" The Democratic faith in the mercy,
justice, and benefcient goodness OF the Crea-
tor becomes destroyed every time the Repub-
lican party triumphs, and 1t only shows how
weak that faith Is.

The statistics Of railway accidents for the
month Of January Is quite startling. They
give the casualties in that month alone at l47,
or more than double the record for the cor
responding month of last year. The results OF
these accidents were fourteen killed and one
hundred and forty.eight injured. Besides the
breaking of two bridges there were forty eight
accidents due to the defects In roads or equip

rived to take decisive measures, as is being

that GRANT has tinkered over time again,
sometimes mending, sometimes making It
worse, but Mrs. FISH has proudly, elegantly
held her own, and braved the hercest and
most malignant of those storms of scandal
and intrigue, feeling that she was in the Cab
met, but not of 1t. The weary social duties
of the years have weighed upon her and
whitened her hair and added wrinkles to her
patrician face. She has led an arduous life,
never desertiDg her post, almost If not always
having been present at every reception that
was given at the White House, and cheer
fully, unfailingly extending the hospitality of
her own house to the officials to the public

Something About Domestics

A good way OF tackling this servant dilll-
Guilty is to commence by looking the facts IN
the face as we find them, and then analyze
them by the rule Of "put yourself In her
place." The very word servant, to commence
with, should be buried along with Its other
dead aud dying relatives, the serf, the vassal,
slave, ,menisl and other titles. The difficulty In
our dropping the obnoxious name partly lies In
the endless variety OF work assigned to, and ox-
pected from those persons. When we hire a
bookkeeper, we do not expect him to drive
our dray, but when we hire cook we expect
her to run laundry, and assist In the educa-
tion of the children. There Is not a man,
in any walk of life, who is expected to be
such jack all-trades as our girl in her
sphere OF maid-of all.work. Our well.estab-
l!shtd family mansion Is combination of
restaurant, sewing. ma chimes, plain and fancy
bakery, Laundry, carpet-sweeping, wood.
splitting, securing, baby-tending, not to
speak Of chickens, pigs and cows, which coun.
try people, in and out OF the city, are addicted
to. To have all this work we'll done by male
labor, |. would, according to the size of the
house aud family, take from three to six or
more men, at salaries varying from forty to a
hubuINu uOIIiI5 per nlOnLn. DuJ In most
cases, in this blessed country of ours, one or
two "hired girls" worth, say three dollars a
week, are supposed to be competent to under
take the job, or else, what is even worse, If
the "man of the house" is too poor or too
stingy to pay these three dollars, the "lady of
the house" falls to herself and Invariably
fails either by running her health through
oyerwork, or by gradually letting things go
and leaving them undone from sheer inability
TO do them.
Hired girls are ignorant, unreliable, and
Objectionable in many ways, for the simple
reason that no inducements are offered to q
better class of women to take their place. II
common labor is at discount on account Of
the bountiful supply Of common laborers, the
wages we pay them should not control the
price OF skilled labor; but since they do and
since we permit it, skilled labor does not even
offer ITSELF not only because the price is low
but also because there is a social stigma at
tached to the labor resulting from the low
price and its consequences.
