Two Famous White House Ladies.

OF the women who have had fame ansi
greatness thrust upon them by their
husbands becoming presidents, but two
stand out as possessing more than aver
age brains or showing more than mega
tive characters. Mrs. Washington'a
tastes were for him and housekeeping,
and the official duties imposed upon her
as FIRST lady" were ceremonious bore,
She went through them with dignity
and according to rule, but she counted
time thus spent as her 'lost days" BSt
Mrs. Abigail Adams, wife of John
Adams, is famous on her own score aB
well as by accident of the position dS
her husband as president. She had rG'
marlSable political insight, and was tia
first woman in America to demand
equal rights for women, and urged hex
husband, pending the adoption of tho
constitution in 1776, to remember the
women, and said they would not holt'
themselves to obey the laws in which
they had no voice. OF course "JOhE"
was talked down in the convention, bn'
her son, John Quincy, afterward tooS
up her side in congreEs.-PittsburRh

DUMB WOMAN SPEAKS.
After Three Years of Silence n Fit
Anger Brings Back Her Voice.

After Three Years of Silence n Fit OF
Anger Brings Back Her Voice.
The vegetable cook at Green's hotel,
whose name is Mary Murphy, has been
dumb for three years, but the other day,
being aroused to fit of intense anger
by the impudence of a colored waiter
named Joe Todd, she suddenly recovered
her speech.
Miss Murphy is buxom Irish girl,
about twenty-five years of age, and she
has been prominent official in Green's
kitchen for several years. Three years
ago she suffered from bad bronchial
attack and completely lost her voice.
She was known by her ce-laborers as
'Speak Easy Mary" and she was much
sought after as wife by eligible baohe-
lors on account of her really valuable
impediment-she could not talk back.
She was pursuing her vocatiops when
Mr.. Todd came into the kitchen and
told the empress of the vegetable de-
partment that the potatoes were not
half cooked and that the guests in the
dining room had sent them back in dis
gust The colored gentleman also made
some rude remarks to Miss Murphy,
knowing that she could not reply. But
the girls Celtic blood was aroused, she
turned on her abuser and brandishing
her fork she gave him piece of her
mind in fine old Celtic.
All the employees 10 the kitchen were
astonished to hear the autocrat of the
vegetables speak, add then the miracle
was understood What the doctors fer
years had failed to do, rage hid
achieved. The girls hot blood at tae
sneers of che colored gentleman h3d
loosened her tongue, and she couit
speak once moro alter long silenss
There was much rejoicing over tHe
event and festival was eXtemporiEr41,
Miss Murphy in her joy took back u!
the cruel things she said to Mr.. TODD,
and everybody was happy and joyful -

The Pennsylvania Ballot Reform AS
Sociation has given Representative Jesse
NJ. Baker, of Media, charge of the ballot
reform bill, one of the most important
measures to come before the House this
winter at Harrisburg. Mr.. Baker will
bring the bill up early in the session
and will endeavor to have it pass the
lower body as speedily as possible He
had charge of the bin at the last session
and had it passed up to the second read
ing before adjournment The bill pro-
vides for the Australian system of ballot
ing and conducting elections in this State,
and its projectors have a good prospect
of getting it through and making it a law
1t is said that its passage will obviatr
the necessity of a constitutional conven-
ton to change the election laws of the
State, and will thus save thousands OF
dollars Of public money. 1t is framed
so as to go into effect after July lst, 1891

Who the Presidential candidates will
be is largely or wholly conjectural.
Neither of the national conventions is
likely to meet for eighteen months, and
in that time, SO uncertain is politics, al
sorts of changes may occur. At the
present time the names of those wht
seem to stand assuredly first in theil
respective parties are James G. Blaine
and Grover Cleveland. Their promin.
ence is not apparently due in any per
ceptible degree to the efforts of political
managers or to their personal and politi-
cal friends in high places, but to a com
mon popular demand. The country.
with general unanimity, seems to have
resolved that the candidates of 1884
shall be the candidates of 1892 To-day
both Mr.. Blaine and Mr. Cleveland are
stronger politically than they ever were,
and stronger in the best way-in the way
of public estimation. Mr.. Blaine, as
Secretary of State, is removed from the
arena of popular demonstration in very
great measure. But Mr.. Cleveland, a
private citizen, is wholly untrammeled,
and can with propriety, dignity and
modesty accept the spontaneous manifrs-
lations of Democratic sentiment whicl
are made in his favor wherever he goes
or whenever his name is mentioned The
American people not only honor but
they have a sincere affection for Il c
man of conspicuous integrity and com
age. These are grand qualities, and Mr.
Cleveland in the office Of Chief Magi,-
trate, in every office, in fact, which I've
has held, has persisteutly displayed
them. 1t is character that has made
him what he is, and it is character which
makes him so prominent figure in
American politics and so great favorite

The farmers, who, few years ago,
had their harvesters burned III the field,
will hardly svmpathize with Mr. Pow
derly's recent utterlnceS on labor-savlng
machinery. The General Master Work
man of the Knights of. Labor did u great
deal of work at the Ocala Convention,
but his attack on machinery was the
most absurd stroke of his career as Il
"farmer." Would Mr.. Powderly turn
back the course of civilization and do
by muscle all that is now done by ma
chnery? He fOrgets that in the inven-
ton of improved machinery labor is
to be finally emancipated. The steam
engines, the sewing machines and mar
vesters have done more for the cause ol
the laboring men and the laborlng
women than all Of the efforts OF Mr..
Powderlv, than all of the efforts of all
of the labor aritators Inventions have
| dried the sweat that stood in beads upon
| the brow of husbandmen. They have
restored the needlepicked fingers of the
seamstress. Toabolish machinery would
he to 60 back into barbarism.-I
! Smte HegiSter.
The above, coming from the leading
Republican organ in Iowa, is of special
significance. That it misrepresents, in
the most shameful and unfair manner
the views of Powderly upon the rela-
tions of labor-saving inventions to human
abor may be seen at glance by any
man who is in the least acquainted with
Mr. Powdery and his work. The posi-
tion taken by him and the Knights OF
Labor is not that laborsaving machinery
is. in itself, a detriment to labor, but
that in the hands of monopoies and
trusts the modern inventions have be-
come means whereby workingmen are
robbed of their rights. They claim
and very justly, too-such machinery
should benefit the people; they do not
believe that science and inventions
should be made tools whereby to filch
from the poor. All the great labor
saving appliances are the property OF
capitalists, who absorb, in the form of
profits" the savings that ought to 60
to labor by reason of increased facilities
in manufacture and all branches of com
merce. The mills and machines of the
country are not run in the interest of
workingmen; they are managed solely
with reference to the money they bring
their owners. With all our improve
ments and modern blessings, labor works
as many hours, upon the average, and is
no better off than it was in the old-fash-
ioned days before the invention of the
steam engine and the cotton gin. 1t is
against the appropriation of the fruits OF
science and art that Mr.. Powderly and
the Knights of Labor protest; and they,
in common with thousands outside of the
Order, will continue to protest against it
until labor receives its just reward and
moneyed nabobs eat only that which
hey produce. The clumsy lies of the
RegiStey spring either from ignorance Of
the knights and their purposes, or from
a willfu desire to injure them. A great
many people will not accuse it of iguor-
ance .-IngeStigator

having in his possession game law

REAL GENIUS.

Editor Goodwin, OF the Salt

insinuating editorial:
Sarah Bernhardt is a genius
sure enoughl She would be worth
$50 week to any prosperous pa
per just to devise ways and means
to extend the tising patron
age on the paper A woman that
has the ability to get half column
telegraphed across the country
telling how she sent for Inspector
Byrnes, and how that worthy gen.
tleman detailed detectives enough
to protect her against certain
first class actor from Paris, how
this man had a strange and mys-
telious power over Sarah, how in
his hands she became hyrnotized
and was unable to withstand the
domination Of his will, is an evil
dence Of genius on the part of
Sarah viii, h beats all her snake
stories and all her scanty ward
robe stories The chances are fifty
to one that il this actor came over
on the 'Normandie" and returned
on that same ship, he came to col
lect a balance due on salary owed
MIN by the divine Sarah, but she
had genius enough to have the
story advertised that for some
reason this man wanted to kill b T,
and it took all the skill of In
spector Byrnes to prevent the ca
tastrophe. III this actor is as de-
scribed-"fi ST class, a handsome
fellow and great artist" then we
believe the story OF hyponotizing
we believe it. knowing some Of the
alleged history Of Sarah. In her
younger days she found many per-
sons that had that strange. mys-
terious power over her; at the
same time we suspect her friends
need not be alarmed, that the
chances are that with age men will
lose that power and she at last
will be pei mitted to rest in peace.
But she is good one, all the same,
and with all her mercenary anxiety
to plumber the American people
with her snide and somewhat
nasty show, there is satisfaction
In thinking that even while she is
robbing them, she is exceedingly
brilliant and plans her robberies
with elaboration and definite
ness which establishes that she is
a genius in more ways than one.
