A FAMILY SINKING FUND
That Would Help Out Wonderfully In
a Day of Sickness.


One Of the wisest things in the world
would be for every family of moderate or
narrow means-those that have not sur
plus OF income on which to call for unex-
pected expenses-to put by a reserve fund
for occasion of illness; what in financial
parlance is called a sinking fund. and which
Is to be drawn upon when druggists, doc
tors, and all other attendants of illness
must appear upon the scene, with concom-
liant expenditure that appears very great In
comparison with the usual family expendi-
TUE. Most people think that when sickness
comes they themselves can do the nursing in
the family-and indeed most people have to
do 1t; but nothing so soon ruins the whole
family comfort, for not only Is the household
disarranged and disorganized, and the sick
person Is not so well taken care of as if a
professional person properly trained were
employed. but the members of the family
VINO DO the nursing are worn out in body
and mind and nerve, and there are other
sick persons to be added to the list, requir-
ing care, and often entirely breaking down
at last, requiring still more expenditure and
possibly destroying the whole happiness Of
the family as death and loss and insanity
must always do. II would not be difficult

avery small sum of money every month,
which would eventually amount to a figure
that would make it easy to hire nurse at

used TO her, would make 1t vastly more COM

one else In the house. 1t may he most agree

ety. 1t is fact of general interest that the
tide OF immigration that has made Kansas
and Nebraska and Iowa and Dakota great,
rich and free, has passed By Missouri, though
its lands are fertile. abundant and cheap.
But Democratic Bourbonism, stepped in ig-
norance, seasoned in prejudice and favored
with intolerance, has stood guard over Mis-
souri,, and the immigrant and his family have
given the State wide berth on this account.
The Republicans Of Missouri understood the
situation, and struggled manfully to remedy
it. They think they see their way clear now

The Republicans of Missouri deserve tho
credit OF being most persistent ageressive
and, as well. successful fighters. In 81.
Louis they laid out three Bourbon Congress-
men at one blow, and in the State vote they
strengthened their lines for the final aud vic
torious assault on the Missouri Democracy
that is bound to come before long. The re-
turns show that Cleveland's vote is less than
ooooin excess of the combined vote against
MIN, while the vote for the Democratic can

Private Dalzell writes to the Springfield
Republican that the luckiest thing that can
happen to man is to be born in Ohio: and
that in politics it is almost necessary for an
ambitious man 10 look back to natal hour
spent in the Buckeye State. In proof of
this Mr.. Dalzell cites the fact that all the
men elected to the Presidency by the Repub
licans since the war, Grant, Hayes, Garfield
and Harrison, have been natives of Ohio,
and that the last Republican speaker of the
House was an Ohioan-Keifer. Hence Mr..
Daizell infels that the Speaker of the next
House must be either Mckinley or Butter
worth. The State of Ohio is a great State,
and some of her statesmen have been great
statesmen; but they should ponder that old
hymn:
Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
blasting wind sweeps Ger the land
And fades the grass away.
Virginia. the "Mother of Presidents" is
today chiefly conspicuous for her lack of
sons. Ohio will never come to that; but the
fact that she this year gave Harrison a plu-
rality OF Is, 420 against plurality of 1882
for Blaine four years ago, suggests that Ohio
craftsmanship may have cultivated the ma
tional at the expense of the home field.

Cabinet making still goes on with as much
persistence and untiring industry as If the
gentlemen and newspapers concerned in it
were commissioned by Gen. Harrison to form
a cabinet, and the only question was as to
their ability to agree. Every position has
been filled by threeaor four different persons,
and each day brings to light some additional
favorite son who has claims that enttle him
to recognition. Meanwhile reports that
come from indianapolis substantially agree
that Gen. Harrison has done nothing about
his cabinet A. the General is believed to
have mind of his own, and is likely to In

Texas elects United States Senator when
the Legislature meets in January. Mr..
Coke would like to fill his seat another
term, but several gentlemen prominent in
national or Texas politics, are either open
aspirants for the seat, or would accept if it
were rendered to them. Among them are John
Hancock. J. W. Throckmorten. A. W. Ter
rell. Barnett Gibbs and Roger @. Mills. OF
these Mr. Mills ought to have the preference
ON account of the work he Gid for the coun-
try when he proposed the bill that knocked
out the Democratic party.

Gen. Palmer, late Democratic candidate
for Governor of Illinois, has withdrawn
from the Grand Army OF the ground that
during the recent campaign in his State
the organization took part In politics and
aided in his defeat. There is nothing to
show. however, except Gen. Palmer's suspi-
cion, that such was the case. Prominent Grand
Army members deny the truth of the charge,
and there is an entire absence of that circum-
stantial evidence which must have been
present had the organization been used as
Gen. Palmer alleges. No such movement
could have been successfully concealed.
The Democratic members of the Grand
Army would certainly have found it out
during the campaign and denounced 1t. The
probability is strong that Gen. Pelmer has
been soured by defeat when he expected
victory and is wrongfully charging the re-
sponsibility for his disappointment upon the
Grand Army because he counted on their
votes and did not get them.

The Biddeford Journal calls upon the
Maine legislators in Augusta next January
to pass an electoral reform bill such as has
become law in Massachusetts. This is the
Australian plan, the strong feature of which
Is that it helps do away with assessments
upon candidates, prevents electioneering
close to the polls, and abolishes all forms Of
effectual intimidation by making the ballot
absolutely secret. If the representations
made at the time Of the municipal elections
by the Journal and its contemporaries are
truthful, and we have never seen the slight
est reason to doubt their truthfulness, there
Is no city on the North American continent
more in need of the practical workings Of an
electoral reform law than the city of Bidde-
ford; and 1t is not surprising that the
Journal. which has fought the ring courage
ously and persistently, now advocates an
electoral reform bill. And whyswould not
measure that is SO loudly called for in one
ring-ridden city be good thing for the
whole State. There are many cities and
some towns in Maine that are liable to be af-
fiicted as Biddeford is. 1t is easier to pre-
vent than to cure corrupted suffrage.

The German attempt to COLOMBO Samoa
appears to have had for its only result SO far
the throwing Of that country into state Of
anarchy where the life and property OF for
eigners as well as natives are at the mercy Of
rival factions. At last accounts the English
and American consulates at Apia were in
trenched behind sand bags, expecting an
attack. German sailors patrol the streets.
but instead Of preserving peace the accusa-
ton is made that they incite riot and actu-
ally participate in it. The German govern
ment has undertaken to set up as king one
Tamasise, but the natives are resisting nm
der the lead OF Metaafa, and at last accounts
a battle was imminent between the forces of
the two rivals. The responsibility for the
existing condition Of things rests largely
upon Germany. She deposed the late King
and set up protectorate, and then failed to
provide force adequate to maintain the
latter's authority, Her interference In the
nrst place was questionable, but having in
teriered, 1t was her duty to furnish a
government strong enough to preserve the
peace and protect the property and persons
Oh tne inhabitants Of the island, both native
and foreign. This she has failed to do. She
mas tried her hand at colonizing and has in.
gloriously failed.

Congress assemblies again next Monday.
AS the Presidential election is over there
will be no occasion to play for position, so
the national legislature can speedily get
down to business and stay down until the
constitutional limit of its life is reached on
the fourth day Of March. There will be
little time, even though the disposition ex-
LIST, to do anything more than pass the regu-
lar appropriation bills. The Senate, how
ever. has tariff bill before it, left over from
last session, and it may be that will be passed
and sent to the House. There, however, 1t
will probably slumber, for tn ugh many Of
the members may be disposed to accept it
as the best possible solution If the surplus
difficulty, the free trade leaders win proba-
bly, have sufficient power to prevent it.
There is little chance. therefore, of any
tariff legislation this winter. That subject
will go over to President Harrison's admin
istration to be taken up and disposed of
then. 1t is safe to predict that at the com
Ing session little new legislation of impor-
lance will be enacted. The appropriation
bill Will exhaust the time, and the patience
OF the country as well as of the congressman.
