The Third Veto.

AS predicted, the third veto message
of Mr.. Hayes was delivered to Con-
gress last week. 1t was an expected
uocument, and excited but little inter
est when read in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Hayes does not in the
least object to the appropriations made
in the bill for the support of the legis-
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments of the government, but bases
his disapproval solely upon the clauses
repeating certain sections of the laws
relating to elections. 1t is admitted
that Congress was in no wise niggardly
in making provision for all legitimate
and necessary expenses. The amount
appropriated for the use of the three
departments named was in excess of
eighteen millions of dollars, which,
it is acknowledged, was liberal and
abundant for all the purposes for
which the bill was intended to provide.
1t will not do to repeat in this in
stance the silly clamor of the Demo
crats trying to starve the government.
The magnificent sum of eighteen mil
lions for Congress, the Executive, and
the judiciary looks like very gen.
erous allowance, and will be accepted
by the common sense of the land rs
undoubted evidence of the entire will
lingness of the Democratic party to
give to all branches of the public ser
vice ample means for the exercise of
their proper aud lawful functions. If
therefore, the appropriations fail, it
will not be because the Democrats are
unwilling to give, but solely for the
reason that the Republicans prefer the
retention of unjust and vexatious
laws placed upon the statute book
TO serve the ends of political party.
Through Mr.. Hayes, the responsible
ity is with them, and, if they desire
the issue, we say, let it come.
But to the veto of Mr.. Hayes. 1t
may be said that he advances nothing
new in this third extremely weak at
tempt to justify his position of antag
onism to the representatives of the
people. 1t is merely rehash of the
flimsy special pleadings Of his former
efforts in the same line. He does not
state a single reason that can in any
way be tortured into decent excuse
for his refusal to sign the bill. From
beginning to end the message is
specious and unsubstantial. 1t il true
he says something about the purity of
elections; but he is himself the creature
of the vilest election fraud ever perpe-
trated. 1t lily becomes him to talk
about securing honesty at the polls. 1t
Is too much like Satan rebuking sin
and preaching homilies upon the beau
ty of holiness. To sustain the absurd
claim of absolute and unlimited con-
troll over the voter by the Federal
government, Mr.. Hayes makes false
application of the Constitution, and in
doing this he cannot be regarded as
otherwise than positively dishonest.
The meaning of all this is that the
Republicans are determined that the
laws which give the Executive

The Dignity Of Office.

From the Dstroit Free Press.
A DetrOiter, who was rushcating in
one OF the wilderness counties of Michi-
gan, was enc day out hunting when he
came upon hamlet consisting of saw.
mill, two houses and a log barn. The
sign of "Post. Office" greeted his vision
over door in one of the houses, and he
investigated. The Office was an by 10
room, and the boxes for mail matter
numbered just four. A written sign on
the wall announced that the mail arrived
and departed once a week, and the post
master sat behind a pine table reading
tho "Postal Guide' and chewing sassa,

"Any letter for John-9" asked the
Detroiter as he looked around.
The P. M. didn't shake his head and
crush the inquirer's hopes all at once, az
some officials do, but slowly arose, looked
carefully into each one of the empty
boxes, peered into an old cigar-box on
the window sill, aud then answered:

official, looking into his wallet. guess

There was another pause as the post.

quarter. and the Detroiter finally re-
marked:
''This isn't rated as first-class Office,
is it,"
"Well, no, not exactly was the con.

as to be secure from rain, until about the
time Of hard weather, when they may
have their final covering.
So far as keeping is concerned there is
no doubt that any roots may be kept
much moro uniformly sound in pits than
in ordinary cellars. Nevertheless pits
cost more in the long run than cellars
when means for building them cheaply
are at hand. -.

Pits VS.. Root Houses.

Throughout all the newer portions of
the west, root crops, from the lack of Gel
lars, occasioned from the want of drainage
are often imperfectly wintered. That
there should not be cellars is not so much
from tie want of fall to some natural
outlet, as from the fact that in building
the house, the lack of stone, and the want
of time to cut drain, and the necessity
of filling the same prevents this impor-
tant adjunct, a good cellar, being made.
Thus, from year to year the family sup
plies Of vegetables and roots must be
kept either in pits or caves, otherwise
termed root houses. In many cases the
land is such that easy drainage IS not
feasible, SO that an underground cellar is
not possible. In this case the sooner a
secure root house is built the more will
be saved, since it is not pleasant to get
the daily supplies from pits, that can
hardly, III this way, be kept from freez-
ing.
In making root house where timber
is handy all that is necessary is to exca-
vate to such depth more or less so the
bottom may be dry. Wall this up with
logs, to height from the bottom so a
person may easily stand upright, and Of
an area sufficient to hold the supply.
Fasten securely over all a roofing of logs
securely chinked and pitching both WAYS.
Cover all with earth top and sides, two
feet thick, fit in tight double doors, with
an air space between and there will be
no danger of freezing. -
The surplus stock. of potatoes etc, for
sale may be easily kept in pits either I'M
der the ground OF entirely above ground
as the case may be. If the aoil will ad-
NIT, dig pits 8 feet VIDE and of any re-
quislte length, though it is better not to
have more than 100 bushels of roots : in
one pit. Cover the bottom and sides OF
the PIT with weather beaten slough hay
or clean long straw, fill with the RIOTS to
the surface, rounding them up naturally,
cover with hay or straw, then 6 inches of
earth, then another layer of litter 6 inches
deep, then to inches more of. earth,
we'll packed snd smoothed down. This
will keep the roots from freezing in any
winter. If the heap be made entirely on
the top of the ground, the piles should
be about feet wide, and as high as they
will lie nicely. Cover with four inches
Ct straw, and inches of earth, then with
inches OF straw and again with s inches
of earth. .
In the case Of potatoes put in green
from tho field ventilation should be Sc
cured SO the moisture Of sweating may
pass off easily. Indeed the pits should
not be covered tight until this sweat has
been gone through. Hence, it i better
that potatoes, beets, rutabagas and other
roots be left only lightly covered just 70

The HerOism of Sex.

There IS pleasant fiction about the
ideal woman that invests her with an
unreal and intangible presence as il she
were the creation of some other sphere,
borrowed in the mundane life for tran
STORY, charmed existence.
To this end poets chant her praise in
immortal verse; sculptors giAe her fame
in life-like marble; artists work their
souls into the canvass upon which they
recreate her, and the highest skill of the
civilized world is evoked in costly laces
and fabrics that will add to her lowell
ness.
To this is added mysterious: charm
of weakness, dependence; as if this beau
tiful pink and white doll were puppet,
to be moved only at an owners will, or a
dainty keepsake, to be guarded under a
glass case of conservative possessions.
The weakness of women is tavorite
theme with men who are not thoroughly
conscious of their own strength. -
They turn contemporary away from
the advice of wife or sister, and keep all
their business and plans to themselves,
until crash comes.
Then they settle back on that weak
ness to he'll bear the burden, and even
condescend to listen to some plans for
the future and receive sympathy and
help from those weak members of the
family, who work all day and lie awake
al night thinking, planning, and help
ing, while the strong man breaks down.
There IS no indication of weakness,
then.
Some one has truly said that woman 3
instinct is better than mans reason
and when she sees her dear ones
threatened with disaster, she knows no
weakness, but comes up with all her
colors flying.
It is her nature to ''suffer and he
strong" to tire herself with much serv-
ing, to give largely out of the great in
come OF love. 49,, --. ~-, .-. = e..
There is strength Of far greater value
than that of bone and muscle, or even of
brain; it is the strength of woman's love,
which will survive shame, sorrow, neg
lect and death for she will leave it as
legacy to her children. =. T..
The weakness is the heroism that
brightens the pages of history and the
hearth of the humblest home, and will
outlast the mental force and physical
calibre Of the strongest man. :
Circumstances have made Unnecessary to
hedge women with thousand conven-
tionalities. They do not prove her weak
ness or the need of barriers, for she can
overleap them all If one she loves is on
the other side and sends up cry for help.
But it would be we we'll for her did her
duties lie serenely within their circum-
scribed limits. The world is full Of
cheap protection for women, which does
not Tighten one actual load and this SEN
timental moralizing over her weakness is
the cheapest and poorest of all. It is
base disloyalty, toe; for has she
not proved herself, from remote ages,

Vaseline is way ahead of anything else. as it

our lady friends will find it not only the best,
