Her eyes were bright, and upon
her cheeks a sweet flush, and as
she sat before her dressing glass
while her maid, Janet, arranged her
hair, she said to herself:

Senator Williams and Reform.

No speech recently pronounced
In the senate has been more widely
copied or heartily approved by the
great body Of the honest people
than that of the sterling senator
popularity revered and honored as
Cerro Gordo Williams of Kentucky
He sabhors sham legislation. He
detests ''tubs thrown to whales. ;"
He would have actual and thorough
reform. He thinks that twenty
three years of offices and of public
plumber have corrupted the repub
lican party from top to bottom, that
it is wholly unclean and diseased
from the soles of HubbelPs feet to
the fancied crown on this Prince
Arthur's head. Gen. Williams saws
of the republican party:
When it freed the negro and .es-
tablished the indestructibility of
this Union, its mission ended, and
it ought to die. It's career thence
forward has been marked by efforts
to retain power only; and from this
source have sprung all the evils of
which the country is now complain
ing. Since the war not a year has
passed that the reputation of this
party has not been sullied by some
new outrageous scandal. Look all
over its history. We had first the
infamous lobby that dominated
congress; we then had the carpet
bag governments; we had the cred
it mobilier scandal; we had the
Seneca sandstone business; we had
the San Domingo and the navy Jobs
and thousand other jobs; we had
the presidential steal; we had the
star route conspiracy, and we had
the assessment of officeholders, all
in quick succession. This party
that prates so much about reform
has never given any evidence of re-
pentance; none in the world, They
have made no real effort to reform
their sins. Whenever they ale de-
tected in one sin they fly to another.
Mr.. President, it is folly to talk
about party that cannot reform
itself reforming public abuses. 1t
never was nor never will be done.
Can the Ethiopian change his
skin, or the leopard his spots? How
can any reform be expected from
these men who for twenty years
have been committing these iniqui-
tiesP The thing is impossible. They
make loud professions now; but do
you believe in their sincerity? If
you do, | must confess / do not
agree with you. cannot help but
think of that little couplet,
The devil was sick, the devil a monk
Would be. =.
The devil was well, the.devil monk was
he.
That is the way with this party.
Let them get out of their present
troubles and they will prick up
their ears, and move ON in their old
wicked ways rejoicing as if nothing
had ever occurred. They will just
laugh at this whole thing. 1t is
simply nonsense.

Horace Walpole was long Prime
Minister to England, and was a
great obstacle to the people who
wished to get him out Of power. He
was the mark at which a multitude
of attacks were directed. He
parted the blows of his enemies
with great skill and vigor, and, in
replying to some of their charges,
he said, abiding to his enemies,
Cali these men have their price"
The utterance spread far and near,
and being modified by dropping
the word tthese," has its meaning
changed. Instead of applying to q
few partisans of his days, it be-
comes general libel on human ma
ture. Those who seek to corrupt
and thus control the country are in
terested in having the people look
upon all men as Walpole spoke of
a certain few whom he pointed out.
Every one who will think about
this thing will know that history
can inform us of many persons who
were above the reach of corruption.
Washington, Jefferson, jackson,
Tom Benton and many hundreds
more of wellknown Americans could
be referred to as examples of integ
rity. Every man who has served
in any army must have become
aware that large portion of his
comrades could be trusted on
guard, no matter what temptation
might be brought before them. 1t
will only be necessary to refer to
this to convince everyone that the
charge that all men have their price
cannot be sustained. And yet men
often allow it to pass unanswered.
When people believe that way there
will be no chance for maintaining
any other than the worst of gov
ernments. 1t is a dangerous and
insidious calumny, calculated to do
infinite mischief, and good and
bad are alike interested in refutingit.

Mr.. j. NJ M. Cue writes from
Baskerville, Va:
"The Washington Capital of the

A well fed cow, one properly
cared for in winter, is good cow
all summer. Corn and grain may
be high, but good COW is your
best market. She may ask for a

show this winter. Do not let her
wear an overcoat of sleet and snow.
Two or three quarts of meal day,

and you will receive a generous re-
ward. There are no cows of any
breed that can resist this treatment.

LABOR STRIKES AND THEIR
REMEDY.

The first test of the wallace Trade
Tribunal" for arbitratiug differences
between employers and employees, is
about to have its first trial In the case
of the miners and operatives in Pennsyl-
vania.
This is an important and most
promising movement. and bids fair to
benefit the whole country. The idea
at the bottom Ufthe WALLACE law is
to avoid strikes or lockOuts by more
sensible method of adjusting differ
ences.
The party which proposes arbitration
has always the advantage of the party
refusing. Public sentiment will always
sustain the former. Each has an equal
chance Of Justice. The rights of all
concerned are to be cared for. And il
would be regarded as a practical con-
fession of those refusing to arbitrate
that they rely upon might rather than
right i'm fixing scale of wages.
We hOEe to see the plan of arbitrat-
ing labor difficulties take the place OF
disastrous strikes, al over the country,
Every consideration of eXpediency and
right demands the solution of these
matters by this means. Arbitration is
the one promising reliance in questions
of this kind,

Nor very many years ago Russia
made heavy purchases in America of
machinery to develop her petroleum
fields, and offered such inducements to
experienced oil workers that hundreds
of Americans began operations in
Southern Russia. Railroads were built,
improved machinery was used in rails
ing the oil, aud few days ago Russian
operators entered the market at Triest,
eager to compete with American houses.
Americans working iR Russia have
so far developed the Russian oil fields
as to bring their products in competition
with American oils.

IRELAND is y pretty expensive pOr-
ton of the United Kingdom for the
British Government under the present
RUSSIAN policy. Prior to the Land
League organization three years ago it
cost about Sill ,O00,OW te run the gov
ernmental machine there. The policy
of repression has necGssitated larger eX-
penditures. An army of 1000 men
was maintained during 1881 and lSS2;
tire constabulary last year num-
bcred about 10000; the Dublin
police force alone cost ~, 25O.0DO
last year; the land act cost
100000 Il year, and the arrear-
ages act about 100000 more. During
the last six months the administration
of the crimes act has cost over SljO,0OO,
which goes largely to the lawyers who
hang around Dublin Castle. Ii is
probable that Mr.. GLApSrONE'S Irish
policy costs British taxpayers not less
than 81, OOO, 900 last year. AS he does
not propose to change that policy of
militarism and repression, it is very
certain that the Irish estimates must
continue to grow in every succeeding
budget.

THErIucrUAroSs OF IRON.

Iron Is at once the most substantial
and the most cspricious commodity IN
the market.
The fluctuations in the price OF this
American product are truly astonish-
ing. And they are not less disturbing
in their effect than would be in the case
of -four or any standard product.
The price of iron has come to- be the
barometer by which We judge of the
business of the country. 1t is the first
to feel and indicate a depression, and
the first to show a rise in business. The
following figures from the Philadelphia
Record show the remarkable fiuctua~
tons that have occurred in the past
four years:
ain July, 1879, pig iron was quoted
at $40 ton. Iu January, 1880, the
price to $50 ton, and in February Of
that year pig iron was quoted at "a a
ton, or almost double the present rate.
In April, 1850, the price of pig iron was
SSi a ton. That was the time when
enormous profits were made of coa-
sumers in the manufacture ofiron, even
by old and costly methods and under
the most unfavorable conditions. But
the flush time was almost as brief as an
Indian summer. In August. 1880, pig
iron fell to SIS ton. In January, 1881,
the price was S26 a ton, and in July,
1881, it fell to S24 ton. Since that
time it has fallen, with occasional spas
medic recoveries, until the price has
reached ST. ton, with indications of a
still lower decline"
