In vmw OF the fact that the Democrat
10 party is now in power, the LIGHT be-
lieyes that members OF that party should
fiA the Offices OF the Government. Dur
ing Republican days but few Democrats
were appointed to office, and but few, it
can be said to their credit, asked for
Office, but that they should demand and
receive them now is simply exact justice
and the policy OF parties. The only in
terest the LIGHT has in this oflice-seek-
ing business is In the real disappolnt-
ment Of the Democrats who expected
and were jubllant In the belief that there
would be 4 clean sweep within 80 days
Of the beginning Of the administration,
but which has heightened out to more
than four months. Mr.. Cleveland was
nominated and elected by Democrats,
and his civil service business is not
toting fairly with his political support
ers, and the Republican rank and file do
not think any more OF him for his mis-
placed interest In mugwumps and his
hardness In appointing Democrats to
Offices within his gift.

BIsnoP CHENEY, Of Chicago, in recent
sermon on the subject OF "amusementsn
said: "Amusements are nece ssity, but
only in the lower sense of the word.
When they conflict with religion they
must be sacrificed. There are two forces
that preserve good order in society.
One is the police, the other the teacher
in the school and in the pulpit The
police produce good order by restraint.
Religion says you are at liberty TO go up
or down, but leads men up toa better
life. The very moment that church
lays down rule for every emergency
that moment it becomes "A policeman
and not n teacher. The church of Christ
must set its face against everything
that is bad. There can be no question
about the evils of promsouous balls.
The class Of plays put on the stage is
such that the church should set Its face
against them. When the thoaters boldly
and deilantly violate the laws and make
Sunday evenings the times for their
greatest display the churches ought to
speak OUT

"A SOMEWHAT curious and interesting
discussion" says the Chicago News,
"has been going on between the Finan-
cial Chronicle, OF New York, and Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, one Of our most ex-
tensive and wealthy iron manufacturers,
on the business failures and the general
condition of our trade and industry.
Mr.. Carnegie says there can be no turn
for the better until the large firms are
driven to the wall; that the small firms
will continue falling behind hand till
they bring down the larger, who will in
the end find themselves compelled to
compromise. On the other hand, the
Chronicle speaks hopefully Of the fact
that, while the number Of failures does
not decrease, the average of liabilities
grows smaller. Ifone isto judge by the
continued railway depression, the blue
outlook in the stock exchanges, and the
depression In agricultural products,
which eastern journals look upon as not
having yet touched bottom, MIR. Car
negie is right. The Chronicles main
idea is that prices can scarcely go lower,
which it is to be hoped is n correct one.''

OS THE subject Of the Pail Mall Ga
zette disclosures, the Fort Worth Ga
zette says; "The Prince of Wales has
stopped" the Pail Mall Gazette. But
for this one copy stopped, that paper is
selling tens OF thousands that it never
sold before. So 1t is with those dis
gruntled souls in America-they "stop"
q paper and are, no doubt, amazed that
the paper does not stop. If the dis
closures OF the Pail Mall Gazette do not
speed the Democratic spirit and hasten
the day when there will be no "Prince
Of Wales" to become indignant at
brave newspaper, the Gazette will be
greatly mistaken. The Infamous traffic
exposed by the Pail Mall Gazette could
only grow to such dimensions in land
where great social inequalities exist,
and 1t will be natural consequence for
the English people TO demand practi-
cal as well as theoretical equality before
the law, such an equality AS would rem
der impossible the hideous thing I'M
e6rthed by u newspaper and exposed to
the gaze OF the world. The Prince of
Wales has stopped his paper; II may
be possible that the llberty-loving En-
gllsh may stop his allowances and put n
finishing touch to that exploded dogma
of "the divine right OF kings"

The Democratic leaders In Texas are
finding many dissensions in the rank and
file, from the factional fights between
the old timers and the kids down to the
prohibition contingent. The parties to-
day are very much different from the
parties of u few years ago. The election
of Mr.. Cleveland has strained the rcla-
| lions between the men who have con-
trolled matters heretofore by reason of
the Injection OF the Federal positions in
the list Of prizes, and the fact that few
are seeking to control both State and
Federal positions makes 1t an easy mat
ter for the prohibition party with its
well organized and aggressive leaders to
gain recruits, and they will gain them
and make an opposition that, though II
may be small in numbers now. will grow

A Cultured Young woman, Ont OF Work,
Thremsh Thsft seeks shelter Ia Jail.
A St. Louis (Mo.) special Of the 2Sth
saws: At late hour last night young
woman giving the name Of Flora Emily
Downs broke the show-window Of John
Boland's jewelry-store, No. 8 south
Fourth street, and distracted several
articles Of silyerware therefrom. She
made no effort to escape, and was
Immediately arrested and taken to
the Central police-station, where she
told a pitiful story of poverty and des-
peration. She said she was an English
woman from Bristol, was newspaper
writer, and had worked bothin England
and Canada. She came from Toronto
to Chicago a short time ago, but, not
getting employment in the latter place,
she came here week ago. She was no
more successful here, and, having ex-
hausted her means, she had become des-
perate, and determined to commit a
crime that she might be arrested, and
thus obtain shelter and food. She first
attempted forgery by signing the name
of prominent broker here to a check
and presenting ii to a bank, but this
did not result in her arrest.
She then wandered about the streets
and Just before midnight determined to
commit robbery, and did the act above
mentioned. She says she wants to go
to the penitentiary, where she will OBJ
tain rest and care, and her mind seems
to have become morbidly fixed upon
this idea. She was lodged in Jail to-
day under warrant charging her with
burglary and larceny. She talks ration
ally and is evidently woman Of educa-
ton and culture; but the detectives
who have talked with her think her
mind is unbalanced and she ought to be
sent to an asylum. She is known to
have visited all the newspaper offices
here during the past week and applied
for work, and there does not seem to
be any doubt that her statements are
true.

A week ago the employees at the
Cumberland Md water-works cap
tured a large bird, called the northern
diver, in the Potomac river. 1t is still
alive in the fountain at the works, and
lives on varied diet, including guam
titles of fish. In diving into the water
it makes an unearthly Shrek. This
bird is seldom seen so far north or so
far away from salt water.
Miss Julia McGinness, of Gilmore
county, and Miss Sarah Curtis, of Brax-
ton, are two young ladies who have
been giving considerable trouble in Up
shur county, W. Va. They broke into
and robbed a millinery-store, and the
same night stole two horses. They
were rapidly getting away with their
booty when overhauled by officers.
They claim that the thieving was done
for them by two young men, to them
unknown.
The Huling Lumber Company, COM
posed of parties from the Allegheny
Valley, have purchased thirty thousand
acres of timber land III the Cheat-riycr
country, West Virginia. and have
erected mills on the Monongahela river
with capacity for saving forty thou
sand feet of lumber per day. This is
the pioneer establishment in what is
regarded as one Of the finest numbering
regions east of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. George Gramer, of Walkersyille,
Frederick county, Nd, has three thou
sand bushels of wheat on hand, the ac-
emulation of several harvests. lie Is
willing to sell at one dollar and forty
cents. lie has kept wheat on hand for
a number Of years, in spite of all re-
ports Of high and low prices, and finally
disposed of it at good prices. He still
believes in good prices, and feels conf
dent he will be justified in holding his
crop. As rule, there is not much old
wheat in the county.
The Mason county (W. Va Gazette
has been shown bar of metal, six
ounces Of which was smelted from ten
pounds of ore taken from the lately
discovered tin mine in the lower portion
of Mason and in Cabell county. II
looks like silver, is quite hard, and is
undoubtedly tin. A large quantity oil
the ore is now being taken out from a
greater depth in the mines, and if the
result is as anticipated, Mason county
may in the near future become famou;
as the first tin-producing county in the
United States.

Sir David Brewster's Cat,
Leisure Hour.

Ltihult llOuisl
Margaret Maria Gordon, writing from
Nice to the Home Chronicle, says: My
father, Sir David Brewster, had strong
dislike to cats he said that he felt
something like an electric shock when
one entered the room. Living in an
old mouse-ridden house, was at last
obliged to set up cat, but on the ex-
press condition that it never was to be
seen in his study. | was sitting with
him one day, and the study-door was
aar. To my dismay pussy pushed 1t
open, and, with a most assured air,
walked right up TO the philosopher,
Jumped upon his knee, put a paw on
one shoulder and paw on the other,
and then composedly kissed him Ut
terly thunderstruck at the creatures
audacity, my father ended by being so
delighted that he quite forgot to have
an electric shock. lie took pussy into
his closest affections, feeding and tend
ing her as if she were a child.
One morning, some years after
ward, no pussy appeared at breakfast
for cream and fish; no pussy at dinner,
and, in fact, months passed on and still
no pussy. We could hear nothing OF
our pet, and we were both inconsola-
bic. About two years after was again
sitting with my father, when, strange
to say, exactly the same set of circum-
stances happened. The door was push
ed gently open, pussy trOtted in, jump
ed on his knee, put paw on each
shoulder, and kissed him. She was
neither hungry, thirsty, dusty, mol
fOotsore, and we never heard anything
If her intervening history. She re-
sumed her place as household pet fol
many years, until she got into a dis.
eased state from partaking too freely, II
was supposed, of the delicacy of raw
flesh, and in mercy she was obliged tC
be shot. We both suffered so much
from this second loss that we never haC
