THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

bought seats in either house or senate simply because their wives are infatuated with the social splendor of the Federal city. Nearly all the women who ac- company their husbands to Washington | are unable to accede to half the requests that are made of them from scheming mammas at home to bring their budding and ambitious daughters to the capital and introduce them to the gay whirl. Yet for the most part it is a very stupid sort of society, q very onerous and try ing society, one in which few real friend ships are found. one which many women of sense and soberness have tasted only to abjure.
 We are now in the midst of the annual ''season." and already society's devotees are beginning to need the attentions of | medical advisers, to thirst for rest and quiet. The labors of public men, their long vigils at their official desks, their l struggles with the masses of correspond ence which continually flood them, have been much written about Some svm- pathy has even been reused for them, But you never hear of the labors of the women, who as matter of fact work harder than their husbands in congress or the departments, who are daily con- fronted with tasks from which the strong est. most active man would shrink The Washington woman of society is envied wherever she is heard of, but she de- serves pity instead.
 Let us see what sort of labor the fash lonable woman is taxed with. We find hpr n,nyriro ;,, room with a look of anxiety on her face. In her hand she holds a map of the city, On the table before her lie several hun dred little pieces of bristol board. Can you guess what she is doing? Laying out the plan of campaign. Devising ways and means for making the greatest possible number of calls in a given num- Der of hours. Every one of those pieces of board represents an obligation, task. If she is to do her duty, if she is to ''keep up," not one must be neglected Each card represents call made on her by other victims of the Moloch of fashion She had her reception the day before Several hundred ladies called, remained a moment, and hurried away The faces of four-ffths of them she has for gotten. Nine-tenths of them are nothing to her, nothing more than the other strangers she sees at the theatre or in the stores. Yet they have called, exchanged hurried word or two with her, left their cards, and now, forsooth, she must do likewise unto them.
 
 The poor woman counts her cards, There may be 200. Even the pride which she naturally feels at being honored with the Bristol boards of so many notables, or, to speak more correctly, the wives of so many notables, for the woman ac- quires importance here only as her hus- band does, by virtue of his money, his brains. or his demagogic facility for win ming votes or otherwise intriguing him. self into place-her pride in all this gives | way before flood of consternation.

He Didn't LicEer.

Rev. Henry N. Storrs, the celebrated
divine who has done so much for home mis-
sions, was recently at the Ebbitt in Wash
ington. While awaiting the arrival of his
son Carl one evening, the reverend gentle
man was in the hotel lobby and fell in with
chance acquaintance. The pair sat upon
one Of the twin seats and commenced to
converse. The preacher talked about pol
tics, the Administration, possibilities of ap-
pointments, and all that sort o. thing. The
stranger ascertained that the preacher was
a Republican, and at last said 'sSay, pard-
ner, this Administration is too slow for me.
Let's Ticker" But DIR. Storrs introduced
himself then, and didn't Ticker.

Kleptomania IS an evil familiar to all, and
it is regarded variously by different shop
keepers. Those who profess to have con-
tidence in medical science, or who possess
charitable natures, frankly avow their be-
lief in the theory that kleptomania is dis
ease of the mind which its victims can not
resist or throw of. To such kindly disposed
merchants kleptomaniacs are objects of pity
and tender consideration; but TO another
class of merchants they are simply provoca.
tive of wrath. It is generally conceded that
kleptomania is standing complaint, which
is constantly manifesting itself In a moder-
ate degree. 1t does not appear to increase
or decrease, but remains about the same
from year to year.
There is lady who often comes in
here" they said to me at one store, whom
we know to be kleptomaniac. She is well
known by all our clerks, and the bill of the
goods she takes is sent to her family, who
pay it without question"
Some of the people afflicted with this dis
ease are women, but occasionally men who
are able to show that they move In respect
able society are caught stealing. Instances
are narrated where men of wealth and high
social prominence have been detected con-
cealing about their persons articles for
which they could nave no possible use. Not
long ago man was caught in bungling
attempt to steal a couple of cheap cotton
handkerchiefs in a Broadway store. His
gentlemaEly appearance and unfeigned agi-
tation when accused of the theft prompted
the managers of the store tc invite him
into private room and ask for an explana-
ton. He acknowledged with much chagrin
that he was periodically seized with an IN
comfortable impulse to steal something. He
insisted that while subject to the mania he
had no realization of where he was. or what
he was stealing. He easily established his
identity as prosperous business man, and
displayed 4 weii-tilled pocket-book. In con-
sequence lie was allowed TO depart, and no
publicity was given to his case.-N. Y. Mail

Tho President Listens to q Political Dis
sertation From the Pulpit.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-The President
heard q sermon that was all about politics
yesterday morning. He occupied his own
pew at the Church Of the Coven ant DR..
Scott, his father-in-law, was the only
other member Of the White House family
present Heavenly Citizenship" was tho
subject of the discourse Of Rev. DR.. Hamlin,
pastor of the church. The text was the
twentieth verse Of the third chapter of
Paul's epistle to the Philippians: For
our conversation is in Heaven, from which
We also look for the Saviour. the Lord
Jesus Christ"
The word conversation" he explained,
did not convey the meaning of the Apos-
tle but it was made plain by Anglicising
the Greek word which Paul used, and then
it became Our politics in Heaven"
There is probably no word in the lam
guage," he said. that has been so dc.
bauched as this novel politics. Its deri-
walton is noble meaning whatever con-
Germs the well-being Of a city. 1t is the
art and science of human government
Contrast with this the current meaning of
the word. We actually use it to distin-
guish the maneuvsrs Of parties in thor
contests for the control of the Govern
ment. From a sta,esmanship,' which
should be synonymous with it, the term
politics has come to mean the art of SCI
curing votes. 1t should be as high praise
to call a man a politician as to call
him q statesman but men wink when
they use the former term and raise their
hats when they use the latter. 1t sounds
reasonable and seems practical that
Christian men should carry the principles
of the Gospel into their politics. The
Gospel requires that in our rela-
lions with our fellow men We should
be unsefish, doing to others as we would
have them do to us. Is not that the very
essence of statesmanship-.o do equal JUS
tice all around-between individuals and
between nations: 1t is an utter perversion
of diplomacy which thinks Of it as
means OF hoodwnking somebody and get
ting an unfair advantage by sharp prac-
tice. Politics must be elevated to mead
something better than a selfish and too
often corrupt strife for place and
power. Let this be called what it is, par.
tisanship. Let the man who pursues this
as his vocation be known as q partisan.
The science Of politics may be prastieed
on the highest plane of moralityI more
still, in the pure atmosphere of spiritual
religion. Pa-tisanship AMI demagogism
are, indeed, incapable Of such treatment;
to succeed in these one must cater to the
bitterest prejudices and the darkest pas
sions of the human heart.
