WOMEN AND shAMs.


1t is singular dispensation of Provi-
deuce, a curious coDcatenaton of events,
that provides the most intensely disa
greeable woman with a mission. 1t is
curious that thin. ugly, angular, irregu
lar, lantern-jawed, spiRdle-shanked,
sallow, childless, crossed grained and i'll
| tempered woman should bethe one to
envelop herself in the Psnopiy of a
Heaven sent message that Is expected to
overtnrn and reconstruct the world
It is beyond comprehension that a
woman whose abnormally forbidd.ng ap.
pearance makes children hide in fright
and strong men tremble and rush into
the saloon as she passes should consider
that she possesses any persuasive power
OF that she could influence men TO better
ways.
But nine -times out OF ten the childlsss.
husbandless woman with mission, the
woman who works for the "causes is a
veritable Mrs. Jslleby. II she is not a
sham she is a scare crow. II she has not
a fuzzy wig or dyed hair that turns pur-
pie and green in streaks she has a big
hustle that constantly fops to one side
and hangs imppdently and impressively
under her left arm. II her false teeth
are not loose and circulating recklessly
around in her mouth she is sare to have
gorgeous polypus that entertains and
perfumes the neighborhood for squares
| In short tho woman who works for
cause" is not sweet tempered,
motherly. smiling. loving, lovable wife
with soft hands. gentle mein and a
mellow voice, whose presence is a ray Of
sunshine and whose acquaintance Is a
liberal education in Christian charity.
The woman with mission Is not like the
| gentle, pale. maiden sister who lays her
hand upon mans arm tenderly, confd-
ingly, with that tonch of childish faith
and urgent entreaty which makes him a
hero.
Where is the man who would not go TO
his death to win the approving smile Of
pure. gentle, loving maiden sister,
Where is the man who would not listen
and obey the voice Of the motherly matron
with the face Of an angel and the voice Of
a seraphi
Where is the man who would not flee
from the strident-voiced. gnarled- d-knuck-
led and quilted faced woman who should
put her bony hand on his shoulder and
shout hAllelujah at him in a voice that
would make tabby cat turn green with
envy and drive q drum corps of the
street.
II is little wonder that come of the
causes" do not flourish. 1t is little
wonder that some poor sinners do not
strive harder for heaven. Some men do
not Wish 10 90 where they are liable to
meet the ugly, peripatetic detective, who
has commission, self.issued, to make
herself hateful and disagreeable and to
spoil the little happiness that falls to the
lot Of the average man here on earth.
! All honor to worthy, honorable, good
and noble women who have a work to
do and do II In beautiful, womanly way.
All honor to the noble mothers. wives
and sisters whose wise, self'sacridcing
and pure lives make this earth smile
with Joy that is foretaste Of heaven,
All honor TO those Nightingales who
smooth the pillows Of the dying soldier,
All honor to all that Is true, but out with
a sham who is ignorant and persistent
in the same ratio as her cause is false.

signs or the Times.

When two great politicians and
statesmen, like Hon. Pinkney
Whyte and Hon. Tsador Raynor.
express their views openly and pub
licly on the political situation as
they did the other day in Baltimore,
it is significant of the times. Mr..
Whyte said
seThe man who emerges from
quietude and stirs up the political
waters in the hope of purifying
them runs the gauntlet of personal
malice and partisan abuse. The
powers that be- at once denounce
him either az crank or a selfish
schemer. Their superserviceable
tools are ever ready to win the favor
OF their masters by scandalizing the
patriot who seeks to do the public
good. But the man who is in ear
nest is not easily intimidated by the
strife of tongues, or swerved
from duty by the shots Of cowardly
anonymous scribblers, the knowl-
edge Of whose names would only
incite sheer contempt in the public
mind. When last February ear
nestly urged change in the mode
Of presenting democratic candidates
for popular suffrage it was done in
the interest of party supremacy and
the prevalence of sound political
views. Every day since then the
conviction has been strengthened
that without such change you may
hang the democratic harp upon the
willows, for defeat is as inevitable
as the coming of the tax-gatherer.
Hon. Isidor Rayner remarked
'sStanding upon the platform OF
the party as enanciated and enforc-
ed BY Grover Cleveland, and pledg-
ca to his views on tariff reform and
q real civil service system, our trl-
umph will be one of decency, aud
our majority enc that will not shame
us. find no fault with tho demo-
cratic party. / am for it against
all parties, but | do not believe the
present mode of party management
represents the entire body Of the
democracy"
The views Of these two great poll
tical lights Of the Democratic party,
no doubt, voice the true sentiments
Of large majority Of the right
thinking voters Of this State, and
unless their voice is needed the par
" might as we'll chang the demo
cratic harp upon the willows, for
