Disraoii's Love story.


When Benjamin Dsraeli married
Mrs. Wyndham Lewis she was his
senior by sixteen years. Yet five years
after his marriage he gave her this
character: THE most severe of critics,
but-a perfect wife" Great men, and
small men, too, do not usually take
kindly to the criticisms of Il wife, even
when they are assured of her love and
have confidence in her judgment A
man on his return home from an assem-
bly, or club, where he has been listened
to as an oracle and referred to rs a
leader, is not usually in the mood to be
criticised even by his affectionate wife.
That Mr. Disraeli listened with meek
ness while Mrs. Disraeli told him, after
a great debate in the House of Com
mons, what he ought to have said, and
what he should have left unsaid, indi-
Gates that she was a woman of exquisite
tact. and that beloved her devoted
ly.
She was Il loved helpmeet, for their
union of thirty-three years was one OF
unbroken harmony, confidence, and at
lection. She believed in her husband.
lived for him, studied his views and
wishes, and served him with the zeal of
an intelligent companion. The average
husband is contented if his wife shows
herself good housekeeper, an attract
i've hostess, and Il wise mother. But
Benjamin Dsraeli, not being an aver
are man, made his wife his companion
and treated her rs his intellectual com
rade. She became 1.-The most severe Of
critics" because of her intense love and
admiration. She was made perfect
wife" by her husband placing her on
an equality with himself.
When Disraeli delivered his great
speech in the Free-Trade Hall at Man
chester-a speech which helped the re-
turn of the Conservatives TO power-she
sat in a box immediately opposite the
platform whence he spoke. The interest
of those seated on the platform was
often transferred from the speech to the
sympathetic face of the orators wife,
and then to the way which, from time
to time. he lifted his head as II seeking
her smile of approval
When the Grafton was finished she
drove rapidly to the house of their host

indications are that large amount
of the commodity will be put on the

of oleomargarine for domestic con-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

Oh Reform! What shams are
perpetrated in thy name. Public
officials or employees may, it seems,
take the party stump, although the
famous order reminds them that
"their time and labor belong to the
Government" They may be dele
gates to nominating conventions,
provided they conduct themselves
with decorum and SO not make their
office prominent" though the order
pronounces the use of their Offices
/ to secure their election as "indecent
and unfair" So long az they act in
politics as "mere citizens" they are
rreproachable. 1t is very simple
process.
1t has been reported that the Pres
ident and the civil service commits
sioners cannot look each other in the
face without laughing. Democratic
Government clerks here go home to
vote, but something admonishes the
Republican clerks that they had
| better stick to their desks. Some
of them thought to adjust their sails
so as to catch the favoring breeze
of both sides, and took their annual
leave beforehand, so that now they
cannot go home to vote without
losing their daily wage. Besides,
they have a good excuse in the mass
of work thrown upon the Depart
ments by the preparation of the an
nual reports, and the absence of all
the Democratic employees.
And now there is another story
rejecting upon Gen. Blacks man
agement of the Pension Office. Dur
ing the session of Congress, Com
missioner Black attempted to dis
credit ex-Commissioner Dudley by
trying to show that Dudley made
certain cases especial" in order that
their allowance might be made use
full to Republican candidates for
Congress who asked that the claims
specified might be hurried. Gen.
Black has frequently stated that
, while he remains at the head of the
Office there shall be no cases taken
up out of their regular order to
oblige Democratic Congressman
y few days ago one of the friends
of Representative Stahlnecker called
on Gqe Blacks assistant and asked
that the claims of a certain soldier
be hurried through Its prompt
allowance might prove useful, he
said, TO this Congressman, who was
V having considerable opposition in
his canvass for reelection. Before
/ he left the Office he was promised
: that the case would be expedited, y
/, but the matter was to be kept quiet
and no papers relating to the "expe-
D. ditiou' were to be sent in.

RUSK AND HIS PARTY EN-
DORSED WITH A HOOP.
La Toilette Elected by 1000 Majority.

The returns received up to the
hour of going to press are from all
parts of the state. Gov. Ru3k has
made gains on his vote of 1884
when he bad 5000 majority. There
is no doubt that Rusk is reelected
by about $4,000 majority and the
entire Republican state ticket is safe.
In Milwaukee and Racine and a
few other places the Labor" ticket
polled a tremendous vote. Coch-
rane got out of Milwaukee with a
large plurality and Smith is elected
by large plurality over Brown,
who ran ahead Of Black. The labor
organizations voted TO man for
their ticket. They carry Milwaukee
for every office from governor down.
There is hardly any limit to Guen-
theirs majority in the Second dis
trict-the returns continue to show
majority for him in almost every
town. The Republicans have elect
ed their candidates in all the ltepub-
lican districts but Milwaukee.
The Prohibition vote, from the
returns received, is very light and
will not be likely TO exceed that Of
two years ago.
The returns from 100 towns and
cities give a net Republican gain of
2,5O5, more than wiping out the Re
publican loss in Milwaukee.
The returns from the legislative
contests are incomplete, but Re
publican majority is assured-on
Joint ballot about twenty-five.
The result on Congressman in
this district is unattainable, as to ac-
curacy, but there is every reason to
believe that La Toilette will be
crowned with at least , 200 majority.
From a national standpoint the
Republicans have gained a victory
of great proportions and Importance.
They have incurred no loss of I. ).
Senators, and have made a fatteling
increase Of membership in the Low
err House. All looks well for 1883.
The following sentiments of the
Milwaukee, Sentinel are heartily
seconded by the TRIBUNE:
at is about time for the American
citizen to howl against the tyranny
Of organizations. The declaration
that no member of the trades unions
in New York dared vote any other
than the George ticket, through fear
of the vengeance of the unions, and
the voting of these men like slaves,
in packs, is one of the menaces to a
free GOV ernment.
Right at home here we have had
an equally glazing instance of the
tyranny of an organization. There
is an organization here called the
Authorization association, com
posed of liquorsellers and their
followers. Its professed object is
to preserve personal liberty Yet
the streets were filled with its cir.
culars commanding It's members to

What Shall We Read?

"Reading maketh a full man; con-
ference a ready man; writing an
exact man." said Bacon, one of the
greatest of English philosophers. 1t
is woman's duty to read, not merely
to be entertained, but that she may
grow intellectually. How often the
love of novel reading is unjustly i'm
puted to us. A good novel now and
then will not harm us, for there are
many novelists who study human
nature and write as conscientiously
as the minister in preparing his SER

/ did it from sense of duty. AS far
as my own tastes were concerned /
had rather have been reading history,
for this thrilling story is not so
fascinating as Greene's English His
toryand D'Aubigne's Reformation"
Yet we need to read a novel OCCASION
ally to keep fresh the fountains of
sympathy. If, however, one wishes
to shine in conversation, to have
something to think and talk about,
she must read biography, science and
history. Music and poetry have
their sacred influence in the home,
but the mistress should feast on the
more substantial food Of solid books
and daily paper if she would listen
intelligently to the discussions of
husband and brother. Let us daily
read something worthy of treasuring.
