Kate Fields English.

One of the women who brings the manners
of the drawing room to the platform is Kate
Field. Her attitude to her audience is that
Of a high bred woman entertaining a room
full Of special guests. Her fine graciousness
Of presence, her sweet voice and her beauti-
full, well chosen English make it delight to
listen to heG.
One may not agree with her; in fact, one
may hold quite an opposite opinion; but, after
all, one never minds hearing what she thinks,
because she gives her opinions 50 sweetly and
without the least expression of antagonism.
Her hearers know what she believes; but
while she has asserted her views, she has not
attacked theirs. She has rare tact that is
'efreshiug, Rnd in many ways she may be
held as IA model for young speakers. In one
thing she leads-her exquisite pronunciation
The English language becomes music in her

Tho Perfect Home.

That woman who, as wife and mother
thinks her life narrow compared to that Of
some friend who has chosen as her field Of
work the lecture platform or one Of the pro-
fessions, may see grand possibilities in tho
following sketch of a perfect home by the late
Helen Hunt jackson:
The most perfect home ever saw was a
little house into the sweet incense of whose
fires went no costly things A thousand
dollars served as a yearly living for father,
mother and three children. But the mother
was the creator of home; her relations with
the children were the most beautiful l bav,
ever seen; every inmate Of the house involun-
tarily looked into her face for the keynote Of
the day, and it always rang clear. From the
rose bud or clover leaf which, in spite of her
hard housework, she always found time to
put beside our plates at breakfast, down to
the story she had in hand to read in the
evening, there was no intermission Of her In
huence. She has always been and will al
ways be my ideal of mother, wife and home
maker. If to her quick brain, loving heart
and exquisite face had been added the appli-
ances of wealth and engagements of wide
culture, hers would have been absolutely the
ideal home. AS it was, it was the best have
ever seen.

PROHIBITION got worse defeat in
the recent elections, says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette, than even the Nc
Kinley bill, though in the excitement
over the fate of the latter the
former was overlooked. In Nebraska
the vote was directly on prohibition
and prohibition lost by an adverse
majority of 10000 or more in vote of
100000. In Kansas the vote was indi-
rectly en- prohibition with the result that
prohibition elements of the party were
very badly defeated, so badly that be-
lief is general that prohibition in that
State has received its death-blow. In
Iowa the vote indirectly on prohibition
and -prohibitionists were so success
full that they expect next year to easily
elect Legislature that will repeal the
present probition law. The adverse re-
suits to prohibition in the three States
were not due to any stay -at-h vote
like the results on the tariff issue were
largely due to. The probibitionists sent
money and their best speakers into the
three States and carried on a hustling
campaign.

THE seventy-seventh anniversary of
the birth of ex-senator Allen q. Thur
man, was celebrated by banquet in
Columbus on last Thursday evening,
which was attended by large number
of prominent people. Among them, ex-
President Cleveland. ex- Senator McDon-
aid, of Indiana, Postmaster General Don
NJ. Dickinson, Congressman W c. p.
Breckenridge, General Tom Ewing. Gov.
Boyd, of Nebraska. Congressman W. H.
Springer, of Illinois. Mr.. John J. Lentz,
formerly of this county, and now a rising
young lawyer of Columbus, is President
of the Thurman Club, under whose au-
spices the banquet was held, and to him is
due much of the success of the occasion.
As far as the celebration was an ex-
preston of the veneration and esteem
for the distinguished citizen, in whose
honor it was given, it was a fitting one,
and showed in no unmistakable terms
the love and affection in which the .'Old
Roman" is held by neighbors and friends.
But some of the partisans of Grover
Cleveland Oyerstepped the bounds of
common deceney, and undertook to turn
the occasion into boom for him as a
Presidential candidate in 1892. All there
is to be said of the creatures who forgot
the amenities of social life is, they
showed their breeding, and deserve the
censure of right minded people of all
parties.

AN INTERESTING LESSON

The New York World speaks out
frankly and profusely and reads an in
teresting lesson on the defeat of the
Democratic party in Ohio. 1t says:
ga year a go the Democrats carried
Ohio. This year they lost it. Why?
"a year ago the current of popular
favor in the nation generally did not set
in the Democratic direction with any
thing like the force it showed this year.
"Y ct last year the Democrats carried
Ohio and this year the Democrats lost
it. In the superb sweep of Democratic
triumph, which has won for us Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas and
other unexpected States, and has elected
an unprecedented Democratic majority
to Congress, Ohio stands alone, con-
spicuous in her loneliness as the only
State held by Democracy year ago and
lost to Democracy now. Some Congress
men were gained by retaliatory gerry
mander, but the State ticket was
defeated.
"FOr such an event there must be
adequate reason and the reason is not
far to seek. The Democrats of Ohio
made bad use of their victory of year
ago.
Having the power to elect a Demo
cratic Senator they elected instead man
of mere money, railroad king, stock
jobbing speculator in other mems losses,
a Wall street manipulation, representa-
tive of corporate power and of monopoly
and of money in politics.
"They sold the Senatorship and be-
trayed the people. They sacrificed the
principles and set at naught the desires
of Democracy. They were unfaithfuI
stewards and their masters, the people,
have administered a rebuke.'

SOME popular misunderstanding re-
specting the elections in New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts should
be corrected, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette The New York
Legislature is not Democratic, ex-
cept on joint ballot, which will of
course elect a Democratic L. s. Sena-
tor. The State Senate is Republican,
and will stnnd in the way of any dis
honest gerrymandering schemes by the
Democrats. In Pennsylvania the Re-
publican State ticket was elected, with
the exception of the Governorship,w which
was made personal affair, and not a
party one. In Massachusetts, on very
light vote, the Democrats elected a
Governor and an Auditor Both par
ties lost heavily on their respective
votes, but four times as many Republi-
cans as Democrats staid away from the
polls. On full vote the Democrats
would have been knocked sky high.

THE New York Sun wants it distinctly
understood that Pattison's election in
Pennsylvania was defeat for Senator
Quay, and not Democratic victory in
any other sense; as shown by the fact
that the Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Chauncey F
Black better Democrat than Pattison
was beaten by 10000 adverse majority
in the same contest.

THE drop in the leading markets of

election in which the Democrats made
a big score, is another significant sign
of the times. 1t is the farmers who got
