The Probable Ohio Programme.

1t must have been weak array of
facts indeed that would not demand Of
three such stalwart partisans as Sena-
tors Teller, Evarts and Logan an in
vestigation in the interest of Ohio Re-
publicans and general party capital.
But the proofs submitted for their con-
sideration were too flimsy, and, de-
spite the appeal of Senator Sherman,
the special pleading of Congressman
Little and Butterworth, and the wild
tomtoms of the one hundred Republic
an editors of Ohio, these three Sena-
tors had to join four Democrats in
dismissing the charges of Editor DON
avin from the consideration of the
Senate.
1t is now in order for M. Halstead to
make the evening sky lurid with the
hot breath of his fiery indignation.
From the Western Reserve to the
slums of Hamilton County the one
hundred Republican editors of Ohio
should make the State resound with
denunciations of Teller, Evarts and
Logan-false Senators and recreant
Republicans. There will be 'hub-
bub Wild in Buckeyedom for nine
days; M. Halstead will run up the flag
of secession and loosen his moorings
to the Union; Senator Sherman will
fume and Ben Butterworth will bel
low. and then-Ohio will take every
thing that comes in her way.-Chicago

Rule in the Household.

1t is to be expected that parents will
do their duty to their children, and so
very few commands to parents are
found until Paul bids them not to pro-
woke their children to wrath. But it is
not SO much to be expected that chill
dren will naturally be obedient to their
parents. So the duty of obedience of
children is put even into the Decalogue
-"Honor thy father and thy mother"
and the New Testament repeats it,
and declares that its promise of long
life makes it the first commandment
with promise. We don't remember
any command IN the Bible for parents
to obey their children; and yet, if the
public impression does not err, there
are a great many cases nowadays in
which the order is reversed, and it is
the child that orders the parents about,
and rules the household. If children
do not obey it is the parents fault.
They should have begun before the
child could talk, and taught it that its
whims are not to be respected, that it's
crying will not force submission, but
that it is the subordinate and must do
as it is told. The parent who abdicates
his authority insures miserable house
hold, and ruins his child.-M Y. Iasde-

THE VULGAR PENNY.

After Many Struggles 1t Has at Last
Reached the Pacific Coast.
There has lately been introduced in
several large retail houses on Kearney
street an innovation regarding the pay
ment of change which may lead to inn
portant results for the general public.
1t is no less than the payment of cents
when less than a five-cent piece is due to
purchasers, and is simply an imitation
of the Eastern system. For many
years the ten-cent piece was the lowest
specimen of subsidiary coin that Cali
fornian would design to notice. After
the mining times tive-cent pieces were
introduced, but were exceedingly scarce
and little used. Car fare in those days
was ten cents ride, and nothing of
any consequence could be obtained for
five-cent coin. In 1876 the nickle
piece was introduced in great quantities
in California. At first its circulation
was quite limited, but gradually it ex-
tended its influence, and is now recog-
nized part of the system of exchange in
trade But California has never de-
scended below the nickel, and has for
years repudiated the cent piece. In the
East the cent piece has an extensive cir
culation, and has a purchasing power
that would astonish native-born Cali
fornian. who has always regarded the
tive-cent piece as the lowest denomina-
ton of money in the financial system of
the United States.
A reporter called upon the proprietor
of large dry-goods house which has in
troduced the small coin, and asked him
some questions regarding the innova-
ton, to which he replied:
1T is only a question of time when
the eastern system of using cents in
trade will be followed on this coast.
The downward tendency of prices will
cause the introduction of one cent
pieces. OF course the injustice of
buyer paying two and half cents more
than he owes is not recognized by the
seller for the reason that it is his advan-
tage. He will, therefore, object as long
as possible. But pennies are bound to
come, as the nickels came. The banks
were the first, after the Government
offices, to adopt and recognize cents, be-
cause their business requires the utmost
exactitude in accounts. Several stores
have followed in the wake of the banks
I own one of them-and have adopt
ed the Eastern system. l find the plan
works well, our customers are satisfied,
and there is no trouble or confusion
arising from giving exact change. in
stead of retaining part, as under the bit
system. San Francisco Chronicle.

HORSEBACK RIDING.
The Different Styles of the Cowboys ano
the Cross Country Men.

| The Different Styles of the Cowboys ano
| the Cross Country Men.
| Last spring had to leave the East in
the midst of the hunting season to join
a roundup in the cattle country OF
Western Dakota, and it was curious to
compare the totally different styles OF
riding of the cowboys and the cross
country men. A stock saddle weighs
thirty or forty pounds instead of ten or
fifteen, and needs an utterly different
seat from that adopted in the East. A
cowboy rides with very long stirrups,
sitting forked well down between his
high pommel and cantel, and depends
| greatly upon mere balance. In cutting
out steer from a herd, in sitting a
bucking broncho, in stopping a night
stampede of many hundred maddened
animals, or in the performance of a
| daring Workmanship, the cowboy is
absolutely unequaled; and when he has
his own horse-gear he sits his animal
with the grace of a centaur, and yet he
| is curiousIv helpless the first time he
gets astride of one of the small Eastern
saddles. Last summer, while purchas-
foremen had to get on an ordinary sad
die to ride out of town and see ranch
of steers. He is, perhaps, the best
rider on the ranch, and will, with
out hesitation, mount and master
beasts that doubt if the boldest rider
in one of our Eastern hunts
| would care to tackle; yet his uneasineSs
on the new saddle was fairly comical.
At first he did not dare to trot, and the
least plunge of the horse bid fair to un-
seat him; nor did he begin to get accus-
toned to the situation until the very
end of the journey. In fact, the two
kinds of riding are so very different that
a man only accustomed to one feels ak
most as i'll at ease when he first tries the
other as If he had never sat on horses
back before. 1t is rather funny to see
man who only knows one kind, and is
conceited enough to think that that is
really the only kind worth knowing,
when first he is brought into contact
with the other. Two or three times I
have known men try to follow hounds
on stock saddles, which are about as i'll
suited for the purpose as they we'll can
be, while 1t is even more laughable to
see some young fellow from the East or
from England, who thinks he knows en-
tirely too much about horses to be taught
by barbarians, attempt to do cow-work
with his ordinary riding or hunting rig.
Each kind is best in its own place, and
the man only accustomed to one will at
first find himself at disadvantage when
he tries the other. 1t must be said, how
ever. that in all probability COWBOYS
would learn to ride well across country
much sooner than the average cross
country rider would master the dashino
and peculiar style of horsemanship
shown by those whose life business it is
to guard the wandering herds of the
great Western plains. A cavalry officer
trained at West Point Is, perhaps. for
all-round work, not unlikely to surpass
as horseman both cowboy and fox
hunter. Theodore Roosevelt, IN Century.

I How the President Bends, Philosophioal-
| Iy, to the Unceasing Demand In This
| Line.
The small boy with the autograph
| album is a prominent and busy figure
about the capitol now. The rage for
| autographs. it seems, will never cease.
Great people from the President down
through the various grades of public
life are constantly pestered for their
autographs. Every day the visitor to
| the White House may see pile OF let
tiers upon the desk of one of the pri-
waite secretaries with the abreviatiou
-'auto'' written upon each envel-
ope. IL means that they contain
requests for autographs. The num-
Der of these letters received at tho
White House. i'm year may be- counted
by thousands. Those that come now,
contain not only a request for the Pres
ldent's autograph, but some Of them
ask for that of his bride. These latter
requests are seldom complied with, for
while the President has thought 1t prop
er to yield to the demand for accurate
portraits of Mrs. Cleveland, and has
consented to their sale under certain
restrictions. it has not been thought

The President continues, however, to,
give few minutes occasionally to graf
flying the requests of the many appii-.
cants for this class of favors The Pres
ident is good deal of philosopher,
and after entering the White House
decided that he could do more to.
grant personal pleasure to a large
number of people in brief space
of time by receiving those who
called to pay their respects, and writ
ing his autograph for those desir-
ing them, than in any other manner;
and while he does not particularly en-
Joy this sort of thing he submits grace
fully. So the hand-shaker and auto
graph fiends are generally successful
in their raids upon the President. Not
that anybody can march up to him at
any time and successfully demand his
autograph, but that the reasonable re-
quests received by mail are generally
responded to. Usually these letters
are laid away until a pretty good lot
of them accumulates, and until the
President has time to attend to them.
Charley Letter, the Presidents usher,
is the autograph hunters friend. The
letters are turned over to him, and
when he can catch the President with
a moment of time to spare he lays
bundle of cards before him, and he
writes "Grover Cleveland, Grover
Cleveland until his arm gets tired or
his other and more important duties
take his attention. Then Charley takes
the precious autographs and distributes
them by mail to the applicants. Often
there are personal applications by the
owners of autograph albums, and they
are generally directed to leave them
with Charley, who presents them at
the same time he does the cards for the
Presidents sine manual Cincinnati

After President Cleveland had vetoed
bills for the erection Of large and un-
necessary public buildings in several
small Northern towns the Republican
organs began to cry out that he hated
the North and was exercising his veto
as he did on the pension bills-because
he hated the Union soldier But now
that the yetoes on buildings in South
ern towns begin to fall the organs are
significantly silent. They haven't even

mTHE CODE

"The code" which regulates the method
of the modern duel is one Of the queerest
institutions Of our civilization. Gentle
men, men Of kind hearts and mild man
ners, who would not for anything do
wanton wrong or injury to any living
thing, bow in awe TO "the code" This
Is especially the case in the South, where
duelling, far less frequent than formerly,
Is yet resorted 10 much oitener than in
the Northern states. In some sections
declination TO accept the alternative Of
the code leads TO the social ostracism of
the person who declines. Nobody taunts
him outright, but he Is simply let alone
and treated by men who were once his
friends with a cold scorn that teaches
him the esteem in which he is held. The
case OF the Kentucky Judge, who declined
to fight duel, was cowhided, and who
shortly after smcided, is fresh In the
minds Of many people, as 1t is
comparatively recent event The
unhappy man took his life for the simple
reason that his social position was ruined.
The deciination to fight was enough to
set the faces of his former associates
against him, and the cowhiding finished
him. The latter was not to be wondered
