How a Bright Woman Fooled q Veteran
Editor.
I found myself recently talking to
Mr.. George " .Childs-than whom wom-
an never had a more sincere friend-on
his experience with women as
journalists. His words will interest
thousands of women. and l give them
verbatim. Said Mr.. Childs: Some of
the best writers on my paper are the
women editors of it, and there is not
one of them who is not paid for her
work exactly as though she were a man.
/ believe fully in this. 1t is true that
women have, in many quarters, been
underpaid for their labors; but / an
convinced, from evidences have seen,
that this state of things is gradually be-
coming less. Let women be given fair
chance in business. They will very Of
ten do work ever better than men. In
proof of this. let me give you an anec-
dote of one of my women writers:
For years the Ledger has published
q weekly article which has attracted
widespread attention and interest 1t
is, may say, one of the leading feat
ures of the paper. For long time it
was written by a man. a nonresident
of this city, and whom had never seen.
One morning his wife came to see me.
Mr.. Childs,' she said, my husband is
i'll and unable to do his work any
longer. For a number of months past
have been writing his editorials for
him, and have now come to ask you
to allow me to continue doing So
Certainly 1 said If you have been
writing them you can go on doing so;
but say nothing of the change to any
one
Some time after this the husband
died. On going to the Office in the
morning one of my editors met me with
face yard long. Mr.. Blank is dead
said he, and don't know what we are
going to do without him. His articles
were such a special feature, and there is
no one else in the country with ability
enough to write them
"Isn't there?' / asked But do you
think that they have been as good as
usual of late?'
Better he replied The articles

CLEVELAND'S WARNING.
The Willy E1-Presldent Manifests q Little
Uneasiness.


Even the careless reader will detect a
note of detection in the paan which
Mr.. Cleveland has Just rehearsed before
the New York Tariff Reform Club. In
the midst of his song of triumph over
the recent victory of the Democracy he
is compelled to acknowledge that the
gains in the election can not be credited
to members of that organization alone.
To men who have mot claimed long af-
filiation with my party" he is con-
strained to say, a considerable share is
due of whatever glory he is able to
find in the victory. He knows and con-
cedes that the election was in no sense
fair test of the strength of the op-
posing hosts, and he warns his follow
ers against the peril of overconfidenee
in their powers Other Democrats have
accepted the canvass as an accurate
measure of the relative potency of the
two parties, but the ex-President is
under no such delusion. He, at least,
does not hesitate to tell his party that
the path to power in 1892 is still filed
with distractions, which will yield only
to intelligent, patriotic and persistent
effort One conspicuous Democrat, at
all events, that is to say, is still con-
vinced that the canvass two years hence
will be close and exciting, and that the
result will be in doubt until the last
ballot is deposited.
In this particular Mr.. Cleveland takes
the correct view of the situation. The
battle of 1892 was not decided in 1890.
This year the Republican chiefs kindly
allowed the Democrats to mark out the
Republican campaign, to select the
fighting ground, and to direct the Re-
publican hosts during the conflict. Two
years hence the party will not be so
obliging. The men who are primarily
for the Republican reverse
of 1890 will not be permitted to formu-
late the policy of the party in the fu-
ture. New leaders will be in control |
and the old ones will be COM |
PEELED to take subordinate posts or be |
reduced to the ranks. The blindness |
and incompeteney of the recent canvass
on the Republican side can never be re-
peated 1t was under an alien standard |
that the Republicans were asked to |
fight this year, and for principles and |
doctrines to which they were hostile.
Many Of them, as a consequence, re-
NAMED out of the contest altogether.
while others, to still further condemn
the criminal folly of their chieftains.
acted temporarily with the enemy.
Those who clung actively to the organ
Ization displayed none of their old-time
Eigor, aggressiyeness and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Cleveland, therefore, is right in
recognizing the valuable aid which Re-
publican apathy and Republican de-
lection rendered to the Democracy in
$50. He Is correct also in proclaiming
hat the Democracy can not rely on OBJ
aiming any help from these sources in

Come. Come! All through the United
States and all through Christendom and
all around the world let us join hands in
holy pledge that we will call upon God

times will come in our day if we have

As the power from on high in 1857 was
more remarkable in academies of music
and lyceum halls and theaters than in
churches, why not this winter of 1891,
in these two academies of music, places
of secular entertainnent- Why not
expect and why not have the power
from on high, comforting power, arous-
ing power, eonvicting power, convert

A o0mbined Birthday Party. Au-


Nothing is more calculated to thrill
the hearts Of the little ones with exta-
cy almost divine, than TO celebrate
their birthday. It is a day set apart
especially for them. The opening

a chair and find place at the table
as soon as the table cloth was laid on,
and eagerly watch everything as 1t
was brought to the table. After they
were all serAed they went to play.
They were full of life and mirth
