ONE Of the bills offered in Congress
simply provides to take the duty off
OF binding Irvine, which is used by
farmers all over the country. Yet al
ready a howl against the measure
comes from Nebraska, where a couple
OF factories want to be protected
from foreign Irvine. Why should
every farmer in the United States be
taxed to make a handful Of manufac
turers Of binder Irvine rich? II they
cannot make money with the duty
of, let them go into some other bust

THE Philadelphia Record, referring
to the recent election OF Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson, of West Virginia, a. president
of Richmond College, says: Although
the presidency of the Richmond Col
lege offers field of usefulness broad
enough to satisfy the ambitions OF
most men there is no good reason why
the energy and the patriotic impulses
that are embodied in Congressman
Wilson, of West Virginia, should be
confined to the direction of an insti-
tuition Of learning. The country needs
the service of such men as Mr.. Wilson
in her halls Of legislation. His right
full place is in the field of national pol
itics. No summons more imperial
and commanding than that which has
been issued 10 Mr.. Wilson by the
American people can be put forth by
any lesser interest.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

1t is already beginning to look as
il the Democrats made u mistake in
electing Hon. Charles F. Crisp to be
Speaker of the House of Represents
tives. Mr.. Crisp is not proving the
fair-minded and lberal-spirited man
that his friends thought he was. In
making up the committees Of the
House he seems to be determined to
punish those members who voted for
other candidates by giving them in
ferior places, and, despite the advice
and warning of Democrats OF national
reputation, continues to pursue a
narrow and illiberal course that is
bound to work great injury to the
party. The following correspondence
between the Speaker and Representa-
tive Mills shows an ugly state of af-
fairs:
Speakers Room. House Of Representation
Washington. Dec. IS, lS9l.-Hon. Roger O.
Mills, city.-My Dear Sir: Having been too
much engaged to call upon you, and being
now about TO enter upon the work Of consti-
tuting the House committees, l drop you a
line TO know II 1t would be agreeable or &C
ceptable to you to be appoin ted second on the
committee on ways and means, and in addi-
ton TO such assignment to be appointed
chairman OF the committee on comm cree, or
chairman of the committee on postoffices and
post roads, or chairman OF some committee
whose work is less laborious than commerce
or postoffices. Would be glad TO have reply
at your earliest convenience, A. l desire 10
make up and announce the committees in a
few days. With great respect, am sincerely
yours, CHARLES F. CRISP.
House Of Representatives., U. s., Washington.
ID. T., Dec. l9.-Hon. Charles +. Crisp. Speak
er House OF Representatives.-My Dear Sir:
l have received your letter OF the 18th inst.
asking me "if 1t would be agreeable or ac-
ceptable" to me "to be appointed second on
the committee on ways and means, and, in
addition to such assignment. TO be appointed
chairman of the committee on commerce. or
chairman ofthe committee on postofices and
post roads, or chairman OF some committee
whose work 10 less laborious than commerce
or pos.offises"
Having been member Of the committee
on ways and means for ten years and chair
man in the FIT eth Congress, the reasons
which have in your Judgment rendered my
appointment as chairman unwise would dis
qualify me for service in any other place on
that committee, and 1t would not be sincere
to say that Is would be agreeable to accept
your tender.
leave to you without any suggestion from
me to make such other assignment as you in
the discharge of your official duty may de-
termine. Yours, truly, K. q. MILLS.

It's rather queer that the President

New YORK, May 29,-People are getting
tired of going to the theatre; they are tired of
going to teas, but they never seem to get tired
Of playing cards. If you want to see lovely
woman at her best, or her worst, watch her at
the card table. You will then see how easy it
is for her TO be dishonest, and how greedy she
is. You will then see what an immense
amount Of cheek she has, and how she will
rush into a game about which she knows
nothing, and of which she declines to be
taught anything. If you have any predilec-
ton for whist you have undoubtedly met the
young woman who is $50 fond of the game"
but who viii tell you nine times out Of ten
that she really has not played it very much.
She commences operations by Strengthening
out her hand upon the table, making pile of
spades and pile of clubs, pile OF hearts, and
pile Of diamonds, until from knowing your
own hand and making general guess about
The others, you are pretty certain as to what
she holds. After she has lost three tricks, by
throwing low cards where she should have put
high ones, she very vaguely asks, "Oh, what
did you say was trumps?" Her mind salts
lied about this, she proceeds, when she is the

don't blame you if you take to drink
don't blame you if you hate all womankind,
but / enjoy seeing you the next evening
8hen you are to play hearts with sweet
blonde woman in gown of heavenly blue.
She says she has played the game several
Eimes, and she's pretty sure she knows all
about it; but she asks you conidentially,
''Oughtn't ] to lead my highest cards first ?"
You're charmed at having such an intelligent
partner, but your eyes open little when she
leads the ace of hearts, follows it up with a
king, then dances out the knaYe, and eyentu-
ally she has all thirteen hearts in her pile
There's no use trying to teach this woman to
play hearts; you can never make her under
stand that the policy of the game is to get rid
Of them-no, indeed. She thinks that she has
achieved the most when she is gathering in

A woMANs ESSAY ON WOMAN.
Another woman, woman with brown hair
and brown eyes, then gave her experience
She said: 81 had curious education about
women; girls were very scarce in our family
and we were all taught to think them of great
value. If you could do anything to give
pleasure to woman, if you could help her by
pleasant words, by deeds, or in any way what
ever, then it was more than a kindness to her,
it was courtesy to yourself. That was the
theory upon which L started out in life and
the result is that though materially am not
black and blue, spiritually am. The woman
to who I gave the helping hand usually
finished up the performance by biting the
hand. The woman to whom / gave certain
amount of affection and consideration and
kindness was usually the one who said the
most dreadful things about me, who thought
had reason for everything did, and who
was firmly convinced that was entirely selfish
in my desire to assist her. No woman friends

Faithfulness with me has not been matter of

WHO ARE THE TRUEsT WOMEN
The third woman, who had kept very quiet,
and who was neither dark nor light but of
the type so common in this country, that of
ltght-brown hair and dark-brown eyes, slowly
said: swell, I've been curious enough to
watch, and 1T has been a matter of complex
ion with me. Women who are unwomanly,
who are deceitful, who We're liars, mischievous
ones, and who had no sense of honor what
ever, were usually women who were either
extremely dark or extremely light Between
tiles didn't seem to count. very blonde
woman by her wicked tongue upset my life
for at least six months. very dark woman
by her lack of honor made me lose belief in

body, tell it to man. If / am in bit of

woman, i tell it to my mother, and if need

DO WOMEN DESERVE THIS?
Now, these women were not anything but
agreeable women, considerate women, and
polite women, yet the greatest hurts they had
ever had had come from women, so had the
greatest rudeness and the greatest misunder-
standing. 1t didn't make them disagreeable
to all women, it simply made them beware of
women. The trouble has been here, that
woman has been put on pedestal and her
virtues extoled until man seemed very
miserable specimen beside her. Now it is
just about time that she was knocked of this
