DEATH OF MRs. GENERAL sHER-
MAN.

1t Is but month or so since the
papers were congratulating Gen Sher-
man and his estimable wife upon
their return to housekeeping in New
York City and since the hospitable
doors of his new mansion were opened
to his host of friends. Now 1t is
house of sadness, with those who are
left mourning a beloved wife and
mother.
Mrs. Sherman's early life in Ohio
and her descent from line of which
the State is justly proud make the
subject of her life and death one of
great interest to our people. In
teresting facts and "reminiscences of
her youth and married life will be
found elsewhere in this issue.
1t is in the nature of coincidence
that Mrs. Sherman's distinguished
father, Thomas Ewing, was Secretary
of the Treasury in the Cabinet of
President Harrison, grandfather of
General Harrison, the Republican
President elect. After President
Harrison's death Mr.. Ewing with
drew from the Cabinet as soon (Sep-
TENDER, 1S41, as Mr.. Tyler could fix
upon his successor.
A whole country will sympathize
with General Sherman i'll his sad
loss.

Gratis now hold. Gen. Harrison has
pledged himself to Civil Service Re
form, in its letter and spirit. No
doubt he will violate this pledge, but
there is no reason why we should
smooth the way for him, and enable
him to say that he makes changes in
obediance to the general wish of the

Democrats to send remonstrances

WHEN the farmers of our Federal
Constitution provided for the taking
of a census every ten years they little
fancied how vast the work would
soon become. For year past pre-
parationS have been making for the
census of 1890, and the work on that
OF 1850 was only completed this week.
1t cost some 81 ,000,0O and its pub
lished product is twenty-nine large
volumes. 1t is said to be the most
thorough and complete work of the
kind ever issued by any nation; and
yet we have SO grown in the last ten
years that the census of 1890 will en-
tail even greater labor and expense.
This is a pretty large country, even
without counting Canada, Cuba and

NOW IS THE TIME.

The doctrine of tariff reform caused
an increase of the Democratic vote in

of New England and New Jersey.
The workingmen have taken hold OF
the theory. 1t now remains to preach
the gospel to the agricultural popula-
tion.-Owensboro Inquirer.
Yes, and now is the time to do the
preaching. To wait until 1892 is to
again invite defeat. The tariff issue
will win when it is fully explained to
the people and not before. A heated
campaign is not the time for explana-
tions. Keep the idea before the PEG,
pie that reduction of the tariff
means reduction of taxes and we
will win. The agricultural districts
are naturally with us on the issue.
All that they need is to understand
it. Agitate the tariff.

THE st. Louis Globe says: AT the
expiration of the term of Presi-
dent Cleveland the first century
of the country's existence under the
Constitution will be closed. On March
4, 1889, the United States Govern
ment went into operation under the
new political charter. 1t is true the
actual organization of Congress did
not take place at that time, nor did
George Washington's inauguration
as President occur until April 80.
On March 4, 1889, however, the ma
tons life under the Constitution be-
gan, and, fourteen weeks hence,
when Benjamin Harrison takes the
oath of Office as Chief Magistrate, q
hundred years will have elapsed
since the first of his predecessors en-
tered upon the duties of the Presiden-
tial station.
In glancing back over the history
of the country during the rounded
century of the nations life, we notice
a singularly close approach to equali-
ty between the duration of the period
in which power has been held by
tie partisan rel resentatives of the
two great schools of political thought
intowhich the people have been di-
vided. One of these schools is repre-
scented by the Federalist, Wing
and Republican parties, and the other
by the Republicans of Jeiierson's age
and the Democracy of the era which
began in Jackson's time and extends
down to to-day. In this division the
Republican party and its ancestors
have been in power in the Presidency
forty eight years, while the Demo
cratic party and its progenitor of the
days of Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe have held the reigns of the
executive branch of the Government
fifty-two years.

WOMEN IN CONFERENCE.

The Rev. Thomas Tousey, of Clyde, N. Y, has
created quite Juror by his bitter denunciation of
women as delegates, in speech before the minis
ters' meeting at Syracuse. Nothing assists
cause so much as a little wholesome opposition,
and arguments undreamed of rise up and assert
themselves and offer him combat at every corner.
Just now Rev. Mr. Tousey appears to be getting
the worst of it.
This is very extraordinary world in which we
live. How broad and expansive is nature all
around us; how narrow and bigoted are the GUS
toms and conventonalities with which we surround
ourselves Because woman has never been a
delegate is reason sufficient why she should never
be one. The world does not approve of petticoats
in the pulpit. Not one person in five hundred en-
lows hearing woman preach. And yet, forsooth,
what reasonable objection can there be to her
preaching if she wants to? The same four hun
dred and ninety people who would not go to
hear her preach would not 60 to theater If she
were not to be seen on the stage. Good people
they are too. A concert would be incomplete
without her presence and pure notes OF song

FOR THE RIGHT.

Among the numerous ministers who of late are
coming forth to teach the women in our land their
proper sphere, and admonish them of the words of
st. Paul. foremost in the ranks is Rev. Mr.. Tou-
sey, of Clyde, N. T., who wishes the women to
keep silence while he informs them for what pur-
pose they were created. He said
Woman is that part or side of humanity upon
which the great labor, care and burden of repro
duction are placed We can conceive of no good
reason for making women aside from this. Man
is certainly better suited to all other work.
1t is Mr.. Tousey's opinion that women should be
debarred from taking part in church conferences,
the fact of motherhood being the great objection.
The Womans Journal, of Boston, wishes to know
Just how Miss Frances E. Willard is debarred
by the fact Of motherhood from acting as lay
delegate to the General conference
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-05-12

These same good people will frequently go to
circus where she may be seen balancing about on
the trapeze, clad in an imaginative attire But
for her to enter pulpit, from which she can adj
monish and impart words of wisdom, is an entirely
different phase. There are a thousand reasons
why she should not preach-why she should not
be delegate.
Mr.. Tousey is well up in these reasons. To us
there seems to be no reason. St. Paul is the
quoted authority on this subject. But St. Paul,
in all his recognized strength, greatness and an
tiquity, is nothing as compared to the convention
alism that makes slaves of nine-tenths of mankind.

FoRBEARANcE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

Don't seold at meal time. Sometimes it re-
quires Christian strength and fortitude to bear up
patiently under the vexation of overdone beef and
underdone vegetables; to smile when salt is absent
and coffee tasteess to talk about the sunshine
and the ssfowers that bloom," when unsayorness
in every side dish assures you they have nothing
to do with the CASE
One conscious irritation SO readily suggests an
other. In cool moments of calculation there
seems to be slight reason for dull carving knife
to put man in fury; for tea cup accidentally
upset to mar the peace of an entire family and cast
cloud that hours only can dispel. 1t is parental
patience with the annoying details Of daily life
the details that Charles Lamb referred to in the
total depravity of inanimate objects that
causes child in after years to look back upon
perfectly happy home. 1t takes so little to make
a child happy. Children are rarely epcures in
the matter of diet. Their naturally good appetites
and CHEEKY table talk makes life very sunny to
them, and many a woe is forgotten in the balm of
spoonful of sugar
Misdemeanors should not be brought up at meal
time. A lump in the throat is never an appetizer
nor an aid to digestion. In absence of guests,
don't prohibit childish conversation. 1t all takes
time; and time and laughter during the dinner
and tea table hour are deadly enemies to dyspep-
STA. These occasions of sociabilty are the links
that bind families together, and their memory
never fades.

frequently tested by putting it into child's
hands? A child read Miss Alcott's "Litte Wo-
men" before it was given to the world and its
success was regarded sure thing from that time
Sympathy, enthusiasm and generosity should be
the characteristics of the critic. Back of the
achievement is always the endeavor and should
he not make an effort to trace the golden thread
of excellence ere he condemns and seeks to blot it
out? His province is SO wide, and only his honor
and the hopes of his victim are at stake - the
hopes that are as worm beneath his feet. His
conscience should be his foundation stone and the
golden rule his watch word.

Only nurse, and nothing but name

Living and dying all unknown to fame
Only nurse; messenger of mercy,
An angel sent unto suffering race,
With quiet step and tender hand of healing,
Dvinest pity on her gentle face.
When all the world lies wrapt in quiet slumber,
Save the poor sufferer moaning on the bed,
Whose watchfu eye with Christian love keeps virgil
Through the long night silent, with softened tread?

See therel that sweet, fair girl in sorest trial
Is at her post, nor will her courage fail.

Or fly before with selfish, coward dread,
While nurse and doctor hasten to the rescue,
And stand unfinching by the stricken bed.
Hark that weird bell-an accident at midnight;
The nurse and DOCTOR wakefu close at hand,
Who minister to suffering or dying,
The hospitals heroic little band!

With kindly help and loving, tender care-
Respect we give those brave, unselfsh women,
And night and day remember them in prayer.

THE CRITIC.

The field of the critic is a wide one. The opin-
ion of the connoisseur hangs over the work of the
artist like great bat with outstretched wings,
ready to swoop down upon his hopes and wipe
them out with the cruelty of an omnipresent fate.
His privilege is so boundess and his nature often
so mercless that it affords his victim some salts
faction that he is not also nfalibe and the artist
can after all continue to believe in himself and
with clinging tenacty to life refuse to be swept
from the face of the earth, la Podsnap.
1t is an astonishing fact that the world stops to
listen to the man who asserts his opinion. Moth
ing charms the world so much as this audacty.
From this same So assertveness is born the critic
The true artist is the gentlest of critics He seeks
excellence to admire rather than faults to con-
our time, living in Boston, agreed to meet at
stated times for criticism and mutual benefit
They were soon styled mutual admiration So
ciety from the fact that no criticisms save of
most favorable nature and simple expressions of
commentator ever came from their lips Was
not that one of the surest tests of greatness?
What rebuke was that dealt by Dr. Johnson
who stood by when lady remarked of the work
of famous artist II never saw such sunset as
that" "Ah, yes, madam; but don't you wish
you could?'
The fault finding critic, the one deferred to, is
usually "blase' individual, satiated with the fol-
lies-yes, even the virtues of life are common
place. He is sort of amental dyspeptic. Moth
ing gratifes his satated taste, and he consequently
growls at everything. The epicure may be very
charming person to associate with, but we tremble
when he sits at our tables. He loses sight of our
hospitality in the too apparent ineflicency of our
cook. We groan inwardy and sigh for man
with an appetite.
What hopes hang on the opinion of the dramatic
critic. Years of endeavor crushed to naught by a
single lne The books that are being turned out
by the publishing houses monthly by the bushel,
furnish excellent material for the book critic For
the sake of advertisement the reviewer searches
for excellence in its pages, and then, in order to
get even with himself, he tears to fragments the
publications of rival houses. AS an ardent devotee
of metaphysics he falls asleep over the pages of
novel, and condemns it forthwith. If his criticism
is worth anything, why is it that child's book is

AUSTRIA'S ARMY BILL.
The Lower House Approves it after a
Spirited Debate.

VIENNA, Dec. 7.-During the debate in
the lower house on the army bill, Herr
Pleler Of the left, declared that the party,
in spite OF its opposition to the foreign policy
of the government, would vote for bill de-
string to strengthen the military position Of
the empire.
Herr Reger said that the Austro-H Hunga-
rian people would support the sovereign in
loyal observance of the conditions of the
alliance with Germany. He denied that
Panslavism prevailed among the western
Savs. The Bohemian nation desired to be-
come neither Russian nor German. there
fore it supported the Austrian dynasty with
all its strength. Applause from the right. ]
Count Won Welsersheimb, minister of
war. stated that in accordance with the
wishes of the supreme military commander,
the German language would be the medium
for official intercourse in the army. The
decision was not a one-slded one. nor from
national point of view did it solely con-
slider Austrian interests. The army bill
met the requirement of the individual
states of the empire and the territorial in
terests Of the whole fatherland (anplause.)
1t was approved by vote of l03 to ~.
