some strange ife-draining tempest of in

face looking pale and spiritual in the little
halo the poor lamp made about it, and the
girl paused and turned her haggard visage
toward it an instant. Then the sleeper
stirred and muttered as from the fight
across him of a prickly dream, aud she
crept away and up the little stairway to her
room, feeling bent and weary and old.

WOMEN AS COMRADES.

Men Love Women, Esteem Thorn rs

Comrades.
In the current number of the C0smo-
politan, Mr.. Junius Henri Browne dis
cusses the question:: "Are Women
Companionable to Mena" and argues
that they are not He regards women
as made to charm. to fascinate, but
rarely for camaraderie. A man will be
willing to die for a woman whom he
would find it hard to live with, he says.
and thus condenses his argument into
a sentence. He reasons that men and
women lack community of interests;
that the man has q world into which
woman can not enter. And in the
great majority of cases Mr.. Browne is
right 1t is just this grave defect in
society that the advance forces of prog
ress are correcting-surely, even if
slowly. Co-education is the great lev
erage which will establish intellectual
community and companionship be-
tween men and women.
The political Acknowledgement of
woman will give her mental breadth
and depth hitherto unknown. Politi-
cal science is q vast and wonderful
world of itself 1t is entering into liv-
ing history-into the forces that shape
the destiny of individuals and of ma
tons. and that predetermine the gen.
eral trend of progress. As women come
more and more into the world of at
fairs and enter into the larger and no
bier interests. companionship between
men and women grows more fine and
more universal Yet it may be ques-
toned if there is not already more of
this perfect harmony of comradeship-
or friendship, as quite distinct from
love and romance-than Mr.. Browne
believes; but in whatever degree
whether more or less-lt occurs, it
surely registers the advance of civili-

A BIT OF HISTORY.

In the evening, after the lamps were
lighted, Orson Beam, with his honest, OK
like tread, came in at the doorway of the
Hartman home. On the threshold he
stumbled slightly and hesitated. then, with
deepening color, nodded to Trean, who,
from her sewing by the lamp, looked up
grayely through the film of darkness,
which seemed always hanging over Ter
face, and bent her head to him; then he
advanced, and offered his hand to Elchard,
who took it eagerly.

Beam. unevenly.

A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

West Virginia Almost Certain to Become

the Republican outlook in one State
of the South is bright and inspiring.
We refer to West Virginia. Nearly
every county of that State has q Re-

they are animated by the most vigor-
Gus and aggressive spirit. These

vention in session at Wheeling. called

League to operate in connection with

were present, and also multitude Of

the situation justifies the lively hope

a chance Of victory. What is true Of
West Virginia in this respect is true

THE TAX QUESTION.
The Clear Policy Pursusd By tho Repub-
lican Party.

The Clear Policy Pursued By tho Repub-
lican Party.
There is no issue between the par
ties as to whether taxes shall be re-
duced. The only issue is as to hoso
they shall be reduced. The Republic
an party can not be put in the attitude
Of standing as an obstacle to the re-
duction of taxes. If this charge can
be made with some degree of rea-
son against any party. it can be
against the Democratic party. For
ten years that party has had control Of
the House of Representatives. where
all revenue measures must originate.
and it has not passed q single measure
of this character. During all this time
the Republicans have had majority
of the House in only one Congress,
and they signalized their brief term by
creating the Tariff Commission and
passing the act of 1888 revising the
tariff and reducing the surplus.
The Republicans have since the war
repeatedly reduced the taxes. They
began Immediately after the war
closed and as soon IS the immediate
and commanding necessity was over,
and they continued it at intervals as
fast as the exigencies of the public
needs would permit. So long as they
were in power they kept the surplus
within safe bounds. On the one
hand, the growth of the coun-
try and the increased productive
ness of business served to swell
the revenue; on the other. the
gradual extinguishment of debt and
the decrease of demands diminished
the necessary expenditure. and this
was constantly tending to increase the
surplus. But just as rapidly as the con-
dition and requirements of the Treas
ury would allow the Republicans went
on reducing the taxes and curtailing
the revenue. Their last measure of
this character was passed in 1888, and
it was broad revision of the tariff
which enlarged the free list and re-
duced duties to the extent Of sixty mill
ions. From that time to this the
Democrats have controlled the House,
and while the surplus has been advanc-
ing to point which they pronounce
dangerous. they have not passed any
measure diminishing the taxes
The Republicans stand to-day. as
they have stood at all times, in favor
of tax reduction. They present a dis
tinct and definite plan. They would
abolish or reduce the internal taxes.
and they are not opposed to revision
of the tariff which shall correct any
inequalities and adjust rates to changed
conditions while preserving the pro-
tective principle. Their policy is clear
and they can not be placed in false
position.-PHiIadelrsia Press.

WONAN'S DEPARTMENT.
HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN

The Probable Elects of Suffrage Upon
Wom..'s Physical Condltioa Discussed.
The exercise of the suffrage would
presumably tend to improve. rather
than to impair. the health Of the aver
age woman.
There is nothing dangerous to
health in reading political articles in
the daily papers, in discussing political
questions with relations or friends or
in walking the distance Of . few hum
dred yards and depositing a piece Of
paper in q box. Many women now do
all these things without any suffering
in consequence. On the contrary, the
reasonable exercise Of any faculty. and
of all the faculties, of mind and body,
is positively beneficial to man or
woman. NERVOUS energy run to
waste" is the secret of much Of the las
situde and sickness prevalent among
American women.
"For my own part" says Sir Spen-
Ger Wells, one Of the greatest iv-
ing physicians. II think women
capable of a great deal more than
they have been accustomed to in
times past II overwork sometimes
leads to disease. it is morally more
wholesome to work into it than to
lounge into it. and if some medical
practitioners have observed cases
where mental overstrain has led to dis
ease. can not deny that also have
at long intervals seen such cases. But
for every such example feel sure that
have seen at least twenty where
evils equally to be deplored are
caused in young women by want of
mental occupation. by deficient exer-
else, too luxurious living. and too
much amusement" This is true of
the unmarried and the young: but it
is no less true of the married and the
middle-aged. Nervous diseases of
every kind are most often caused by
confinement to narrow circle OF
thoughts and duties
A brisk conversation about politics
is stimulating and healthy in itself, but
is especially valuable in distracting the
attention from the petty, harassing de-
tails of daily life. There is no more
certain cure for nervousness and its
baleful attendants. hypochondria and
dyspepsia, than the excitement of in
terests broader and more impersonal
than the interests of the kitchen and
the nursery, than the brooding over
ones own or ones husband emotions,
ill-temper or wrong-doing. To enable
women to be efficiently interested in
as many things as possible, is to give
them a tonic better than any medi-
cine; to compel them to be interested
IN few things only. is to poison the
whole atmosphere of their intellectual
life" - George Pelley. Ill. d.. in

THE wIFE's PROPERTY.
A Wrong Once Established II, ~ Rule,
OF Long Endurance.


The old law which gave every hus-
band the right to the actual ownership
of all his wife's personal property and
the use of all her real estate. made the
possession of wife's property seem so
much a matter of course that it is not
easy even for otherwise decent and ex-
cellent men to accept the new order of
things. Some men do 50 cheerfully.
and gladly accede to it; others. who
appear respectable to the world. make
the home wretched when a wife de-
clines to surrender her property.
Among the more brutal classes it often
comes to downright violence. The
Chicago daily papers record the follow
ing:
"Mrs. Matthias Busch was murdered
tonight by her husband. saloon
keeper The deed was done at their
home. in the presence of their child
and the aunt of the victim. Busch
was arrested. knife in hand. He had
been folled in his desire to control ten
thousand dollars in real estate. that
had been willed his wife by her
father"
Brutal cases like these are frequent
ly reported. But there are more cases
where husband endeavors to secure
by intimidation or slow torment
what the law has taken out of his
hands. 1t takes long to uproot the
strength of an old law or custom. and
to Outgrow prejudice. But. in this
case. it would promote respect for a
wife's legal property rights. if honor
able men. who have come into posses
sion of their wife's property, under
the law, or in any other way. would
make legal return Of it to the wife.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1888-03-16

Such action would help to cot need
ed example. The fact that the wife is
now entitled to her own property
would be noted-and, by and by. it
will be seen to be as dishon0rable and
wrong for man to keep property Of
his wife's as to keep that Of any one
else. A gain greater than the money
itself will be the increased respect
which wife can feel for her husband
when he deals honorably and honestly
vith her. Wom0n's Journal
