Woman Represents the Home.

The world is slowly making the immense
discovery that not what woman does but
what she Is makes home "A possible crea-
ton. 1t is the Lords ark and does not
need ~steadying; it will survive the wreck
of systems and the crash of theories. for
the home is but the etflorescence of woman's
nature under the nurture Of Christ's Cos
pei. She came into the college and hu-
maniZed it; into literature and hallowed it:
into the business world and ennobled it.
She will ONE into government and puri-
fly it; into politics and cleanse that Stygian
pool as the waters of Marah were cleansed:
for woman will make home-like every place
she enters, and she will enter every place
OF this round earth. Any custom, traffic
or party, on which II Christian woman cam
not look with favor, is irrevocably doomed
Its welcome of her presence and her W
is to be the final test of its fitness to survive.
All Gospel civilization is radiant with the
demonstration of this truth: 1T is not
good for man to be alone" The most Wv
id object-lesson on history's page is the
fact that mans deterioration is in exact pro-
portion to his isolation from the home of
woman c~ompanionship. FruaceS T.. WI

Several years ago a prominent physician
of thisc county was called to the bedside of
a gentleman in Jackson county, sick with
fever. y revival meeting was in progress
in the neighborhood of the sick man. and
the doctor concluded he would attend after
administering the physic. He was late on
his arrival at the church and had to take a
front seat. The preacher preached a rat
Ting good sermon and had the people CON
siderably wrought up. As he closed he
stated that he wanted every person in that
house who wanted to go to heaven to rise.
All stood up except the doctor, All have
risen but one man. said the man of God.
II will put the reverse of the proposition.
All who want to go to hell will please
rise The doctor arose, looked around,
and as he saw no one standing except
himself and the minister, he exclaimed:
''Be Cad. parson, we are in a hopeless
minority This convulsed the whole
house, and virtually broke up the revival,
as none ever went to the mourners' seat
afterward.-Mcon (Ga) Jelegraph.

The next session Ct Congress which
meets in December will have great
amount Of business to transact. The
tariff laws will be up for necessary re-
vision,, the silver question will be open
: for discussion, civil service reform
brought into prominence and many
, other issues argued and some decided.
To some extent everything will re-
ceive partisan support and opposition
on account of the House being Demo
cratic and the Senate Republican.
This will make it necessary for the
Democracy to make a united and bar
monious array. President CleVeland's s
policies will doubtless be the keynotes
of the stand to be occupied by she
Democracy. We hardly believe how
ever that the administration will be
endorsed on the silver question, as the
people want silver and will not be
satisfied with the gold standard only,
However the administration has had
sufficient foresight not to make any dc.
cided stand uFon this important Issue
until Congress has met. This will tend
to simplify matters greatly and will
aid much i'll uniting the Democracy on
a firm and progressive platform for the
contests of 1886 and IS.

Matters irs Oregon.

The active organization of the Dem
ocratic party for the important election
of 1886 in Oregon should now be COM
menced. The state is Republican only
because Multnonah county is Republi-
can and it has generally been conceded
that money had much to do with Re
publican majorities IN Portland. The
clean, able, progressive and honest adj
ininistration of President Cleveland
should and has strengthened the Dem
ocratic party with the people and the
result will be a largely increased vote
in the interior. Republican dissen-
sions will also add much to Democratic
prospects.
/. strikes us though that a Dem.
.ocratic daily at Portland is necessity
for the approaching election. As the
Democracy is now, it is like an army
without commander.

In last weeks Democrat appears a

local talent and bears classical air
that is in proud contrast with the sickly
stuff that newspapers are continually

the gods of the ancients and connects
our oceans our plans and giants Of

Democratic state conventions have
been held since the Inauguration of a
Democratic administration in Iowa,
Ohio and Mississippi. Most heartily
has the administration been endorsed
in each state The Iowa Democrats
find in Cleveland man of ''solid Judge
ment, concientious integrity, answer
ing fidelity, patriotism and courage,
equal to that of Andrew jackson" and
commend his record thus far, including
his zeal in behalf Of reform. The Ohio
Democrats congratulate the President
upon his cabinet; upon the suspicious
beginning they have made in the neces-
Fary reforms of the government, and
heartily endorse their administration
The Mississippi convention finds in
his policy 'nothing to condemn, bnt
everything to inspire confidence in his
wisdom, integrity and Craftsmanship, :"
and expresses its unqualified indorse-
>ment of the same. Apparently the
popular admiration for consistency and
courage will make itself fele in the
Democratic party aud viii prove more
potent than the grumbling of disap-
pointed spoil-seckers.

It continues to be male apparent
that some very useful reform work may
be accomplished hy concentrating the
work to be doneln certain departments
of the public service and thus compress
ing the force employed. a move III
this direction has just been made h2
Secre ta,y M,,nnlng, upon the ,e:om-
mrndation of the lately appointed sur
veyor of the port of New York,
Through the dismissal of superfuous
employees, the reduction of the saler;es
of others, and the consolidation of
offices where one official can efficiently
discharge the duties now assigned to
two or more, he hopes to effect ar% i'm
portant saving in the expenses of run
ming the large office at New York city.
The plan is one which can doubtless be
followed with useful results in many
branches Of the public service.
