the railroad men that he was giving them a

set apart for Senator'S wives) and except for
a certain rapidity of speech occasionally and
evident nervousness at times, which never
to, the form of irritability, appeared much
the same as before her Illness which had not
aged her in the least. She was, in fact,
a remarkably giIlish-looAing woman. and
even the reculiarities just mentioned seemed
to increase that appearance, as her manner
wss often that of young girl somewhat
furried by social duties while neither embar-
rassed nor annoyed by them. Mrs. Allison
seemed very cheerful whenever saw her.
The last time was as late as April, think
She returned no calls in person in the last
two winters, but all were acknowledged by
cards on which were written, evidently by
herself: 'Srs Allison regrets that her
health will not permit her to return calls in
person. She was cordially esteemed in
Washington, and every one seemed deter
mined 10 help her as far as in them lay TO
the recovery of health. Washington people

THE ancient Greeks were less brutal than
we. Among them no punishment was
designated for the murder of parent, for such
crime was not supposed to have been COM
mitted since Orestes killed Clytemnestra. In
the United States last year six sons killed
their fathers and four children their mothers.
All the deeds were committed by ignorant
persons. Proper educational influences might
have prevented them.

AND now comes the report that Senator
David Davis is to be married. The young
lady who proposes to unite her fortunes with
his halls from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
No reason for her rash act is assigned. Can
it be possible that the Illinois statesman has
inspired her with love or is she. determined to
sip the sweets of matrimony with him simply
because she will become known as the con-
sort of the man most capable of adding weight
to the affairs of the Nation ? The questions
remain unanswered but it is believed that the
breadth of Senator Davis tender sentiments
has had due effect. Senator Davis is a great
man; Of that there can be no doubt. If states
manlike qualities were indicated by personal
beauty Ben Butler would yank the prize for
craftsmanship, but if they were allied
with avoirdupois he wouldn't stand
any chance beside David Davis. Hlth-
erto Senator Davis has made. most of his
reputation by straddling. Straddling, it may
be mentioned, is curious exercise patented
by Senator Davis, whose rights have been in
fringed upon by several Congressman, includ-
ing members from Texas. 1t consists of
riding bill so that.no one can tell whether the
rider is opposed TO it or in favor of it. When
Senator Davis rode one it was generally,
crushed. Hence the acquisition of the art oil
being masher which has led the Fayetteville
young lady to throw herself on his fifty-inch
bosom.

ENGINEERS of party machinery are now 70
be found in the drawing rooms, at receptions,
at banquets. Years ago promises of votes
were secured by making personal visits to cit
liens, but of late more attention is,paid to
party leaders than to the individual members
of parties. The cause of all this is the cen :
tralization of party power in the hands of
comparatively few men. 1t is they who de-
eide who shall hold office. Consequently
stump-speaking is to be relegated to the in
tensely rural "deestrcts" and political
machinery manipulated amid the pop of cham
payne, the sparkle of diamonds, sweet scents,
lovely faces, costly attire-the brilliancy and
enhancing delights of exclusive society. 1t
therefore follows that the power of woman as
political factor will greatly increase. Already
she has made her presence felt and it is be-
| lieved much Of the prominence of Congress-
man Morrison, of Illinois, and of Ex-senator
Mcdonald, as prospective Democratic can
didates for the Presidency, is attributable to
their wives, who, though not yielding in any
of their womanly traits of character, have
gained a reputation of being as shrewd polit-
clans as their husbands. A similar statement
may be made as to Black Jack Logan, the
leading statesman in the race for the Repub-
lcan nomination, whose wfe's ability as an
organizer of political movements in which he
is concerned has long been a subject of news
paper comment.

BY COMPARING English and American
prices any one can readily see that the tariff
does not necessarily affect the cost of manu-
features in the United States. England is
now paying cents yard for American cot
ton goods which can be purchased in any city
in this country for ~ cents. In the sorts of
cotton goods we export our home prices must
be considerably less than the foreign or we
would not ship $4,000, 900 worth of them
annually. True, in hosiery our prices are
slightly higher than the foreign, but the diff
ference is not at all in proportion to the

Alta recent party in New York handsome
waiter was discovered flirting with lady who
supposed him to be some guest to whom she
had been introduced. Consequently white
neckties for evening dress have been
abandoned in New York society. The attire
of servants is much too similar to that of
persons of higher stations and some means
should be adopted to prevent embarrassment
and confusion such as must have ensued when
the lady mentioned learned her error.

"THE Government that Furnishes men, "
says the.Galveston News, fought not to tempt
men to become criminals" The News is
right. If our public officers are worth being
paid at all they are worth being paid well.
One reason why our Legislators are, as rule,
not representative men is that few really good
men can afford to sacrifice their interests by
serving for SIS day..
