Mr. Cable and the Canal

The Union says that "Jsson's" hot shot
carried CONSERVATION into the ranks of
the local democracy. Jason is the as,
sumed name of some one who recently
wrote letter to the Unton stating that
Mr.. Cable was opposed to the Hennepin
canal. He endeavored to make this
statement stronger by intimating that he
had worked in the family or with the
family and that he had heard the matter
discussed.
1t is an easy matter to tell lie. 1t is
generally al easy matter to publish it, No
one should be ashamed to tell the truth
when necessity demands it. II what
Jason" had said was true, he should
have been manly enough to sign his name
to what he had written. By not doing so
he makes himself out to be untruthful,
disreputabe and would ordinarily be uu-
worthy of serious consideration. He
have said that Mr.. Cable was a member
of gang Of thieves or he could have laid
at his door any disreputable action. In
the latter case, of course, he would be
smensble to the law; in the present case
he evsdes the statute. He is not, how
ever, less cIlpsble, contemplate and lack
ing in every principle of honor. He must
daily find new excuses for his own exis>
tence.
Mr. Cables published letter states thai
he is heartily in favor of the Hennepin
canal. He repeatedly urges reasons why
it should be constructed. What could be

Mr.. Cable emphatically states that il
his home nor anywhere else ha'
he ever spoken against the Hen
nepin canal The reason was wanting TO
doing so N the first place, but apart from
that no word or thought has ever com
from him in opposition.
Here is the word of Mr.. Cable himsel
uttered in public and private, showing hi
wishes and intentions regarding this ques

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-08-02

There is not an equal rights woman in the
country who has not the good sense and right feel
ing to prompt her to attend to her home duties
whether those duties apply to babies, brooms OF
dishes. Women do not need the help OF such men
as Senator Reagan to point out their duties within
their homes. Why not say to women, you must
not 90 to church because you have babies; you
must not 90 down town, because you have dishes
to wash at home; you must not read, because
there is cooking to do, or go to the opera because
the rooms need sweeping.

A LEGEND OF THE OPAL.

Why did they give the opal
10 the second month of the year?
The weariest month Of winter,
Snowy and chill and drear?
Oh, Mary, the Virgin Mother,
With the holy Babe on her breast
And the turtle dove In her little brown hand.
Sat down by the gate to rest.
And the childless wife of Judah
Passed and saw her there,
And was filled with bitter envy
OF the child and mother fair.
And she cried, "Let the month when saw her
Bring only women to earth,
TO toll and to weep and to suffer
From the very hour Of their blrthp
Then Mary the gentle mother,
Was filed with tender pain;
She looked up to the soft blue heaven,
And her tears fell like the rain.
And she prayed, 80, mercful Father,
Since true and Just Thou art
When thou nearest her prayer of cursing,
Take this my LOVING heart
"And give to this mothers children
This little gift of mine;
1t 10 all have, O Father,
For the turtle doves are Thinel"
The mercful King Of Jewels
Heard the maden's prayer;
He took her heart In His strong right hand
And It turned to an opal there.
Anopal OF milky snlendor,
LltDy 4 cEangeiess hamc, s
That never flashed nor sparkied,
But glowed forever the same.
For the weariest month Of the winter
Brings mostly women to EARTH
But the heart OF Mary mother
Is theirs from the hour OF their birth'
And the sign 10 milky OPAL
Lit by changeless flame,
Never needing to fash or to sparkle,
But glowing forever the same.

the Wyoming bill. Read the remarkable chapter
below--a fair sample Of his VIEWS
"The people Of Wyoming Territory are going
to make men Of women and when they do that,
the correatiye must take place that men must be-
come women. AS result we are to have women
for public officers, to do military duty, to work
the roads, to fight the battles Of their country
men to wash the dishes, to nurse the children, and
10 stay at home while the ladies 60 out and make
stump speeches in canvasses. How is it possible
that women can be clothed with the duties and re-
sponslbllties OF men, and at the same time per-
form the natural and necessary duties OF women?'
The great State OF Texas ought to be ashamed
OF being represented by man who would consent
to get up in the United States Senate and make
such display Of his narrow-minded ignorance and
total disregard Of common sense.
The Woman's Penny Paper of July contains
very interesting interview with Miss Friedrichs,
the young lady employed on the staff of the Pail
Mall Gazette, and adds:
'Mss Friedrichs is always willing to lend
friendly hand to young Journalist, and is never
so pleased as when she can do good turn to any
one who really needs it. She is an excellent con-
versatonalist and avoids all the petty scandal and

Mall Gazette. She is good inguist and thus in
valuable on foreign service. She was the special
correspondent for the paper at Berlin during the
time Of Prince Bismarcks resignation. and has
ua1; oha has
been engaged in the interests of the same paper.
Miss Friedrichs' success as journalist is full of
encouragement to all who would tread in the same
paths Unlike many women, she has learnt the
secret Of travelling light, necessary qualification
in the journalist; she needs no heavy luggage,
and can be packed and away in very short time
when she receive marching orders.
As SHOWN by recent statistics in Massachusetts,
women constitute over seventy per cent OF the
workers in those employments where wages are
very low, while in such employments as pay $40
per week and upward women constitute only
about three per cent. Women working side by
side with men doing the same work receive much
smaller wages, the proportion being that woman
twenty years VI aye anu uP""iuo wins AVA WV
same wages that boy OF ten would receive.
Probably there is no line Of work where this un-
lust discrimination is more glazing than in the en-
ployment of teachers, field of labor in which
women have proven beyond doubt that they are
capable of rendering fully as efficient service as
men. The Business Woman's journal has added
new department in the interest Of teachers, to
be conducted by Mrs. May Wright Sewall OF In
dianapolis, Ind, (recently elected First Vice
President Of the Federation Of Clubs,) who gives
the public to understand in her first editorial that
she intends to make strong fight for the payment
TO women teachers Of salaries equal to those re-
ceived by men.

SOBER THOUGHTS Foa SOLEMN PEOPLE
pwARFs.


There was once in London a club
of small men, whose qualifications
Law In their not exceeding five feet
IN height These dwarfs held, or
pretended to hold, the opinion that
they were nearer the perfection of
manhood than others, for they ar
gued that primeval men had
been far more gigantic than
the present race, and consequently
that the way of progress was to
grow less and less, and that the
human race as it perfected itself
would become as diminutiye as
themselves. This mistaken notion
has taken root in the spiritual
realm. There are scores of dimin-
utive starvelings in the churches
who aspire to nothing higher than
bare entrance into the kingdom
of heaven. Poor soul, dost thou
not know that we are to "grow up
as calves of the staIl' and not to
dwindle into mere images of the
clean kline" Stationariness in the
divine life is not only without a
warrant from Scripture but is sin
against the Holy Ghost. A di-
minutiye Christianity contravenes
the book of God and is consequent
upon tainted and defective 10y
atty. We are to be kings and
priests ard We feel no hesitancy in
reverently declaring that no dwarf
will ever grace a celestial throne.
Throughout all organized nature
we see q point Of perfection toward
which all organisms are constantly j
tending, and into which they must
ultimately develop. This point oi
perfection in the divine life is
Jesus Christ, the image of the IN
visible God, our prototype, our di-
vine pattern. sAnd we shall BIZ
like him, for We shall see him al
he is" Thinkest thou to affair
unto the full measure of the stat
ure of the Lord Jesus, by refusing
the bread of life and running bach
the scale to spiritual nothingness
If ye be in the vine and draw noi
your nourishment from the parent
source, your soul Will eventually
atropby and drop off into spiritua
decay.

this is lovely, and that is grand,
