KEEPING UP COURAGE.
Fear of the Democrats for Their Chances
in 1892.

| Pompous Democrats are making a
desperate effort to keep their courage
up for the contest of 1892 by the usual
brag and buster, but every one of
them has a well-defned fear that their
party will be still more crushingly de-
feated in 1892 than it was in 1888. The
reasons for their fear are obvious. They
realize that the Mckinley law will have
indicated the good policy of its pro-
visions and have given more general
satisfaction to the people of the Nation
than its predecessor long before the
| Presidential contest has been decided:
they know that the voters of the North
will not consent that the South shall
rule the Nation by the suppression
of the Republican vote of that lo-
cality, and they are certain that
| the vote of all the new States
will be cast for Republicanism
and progressive government. There
are other all-sufficient issues to de-
! feat the Democracy in 1892, but the
three named are sufficient here to con-
vince all the people that the BOurbons
are greatly less confident than they
were in 1888. Some of the thinking
Democrats are discussing possibilities.
! The Dallas Times-Herald thus mourn
fully forecasts the political horoscope
| for 1892:
Democrats who are blind enough to believe
the Republican party is dead will receive
rude awakening in 1899. In the Northwestern
States the Democrats did not poll near great
a vote as they cast in 1883. In Kansas, Ne
| braska, Colorado and California they made nc
gains Thousands Of Republicans. as the re-
turns will demonstrate, did not vote. They
we're disguised with their party and remained
at home. The great Democratic gains were
made in the States Of Indiana, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. To win a President in 1899 the
Democrats will be compelled to carry the first
four named, and any calculation which omits
New York from the Democratic column is alb
surd. The Solid South and the Big Four con-
troll the Presidency. and the National CONVEX
ton should not even consider the names ui

MUST DECIDE FOR HERSELF.
What Women Shall and Shall Not Study
Can Not BE Arbitrarily Determined.


Can Not BE Arbitrarily Determined.
In some future age it may become
possible to map out the whole field of
human knowledge, and to say what
part of it should be cultivated by one
sex and what part by the other, writes
j. G. Fitch in the Contemporary Re-
view. But at present the materials for
a decision do not exist, and any aSsump-
ton that we are in a position to decide
will serve only to make the future solu-
ton of the problem in wise and salts
factory way more difficult. Meanwhile.
women have right to say to all in
authority: MAKE your own schemes of
instruction and your tests of scholarship
for men as perfect as you can. Devise
as many new and effective forms of
mental discipline and courses of in
structiOn as you think can be wisely
offered to men of various attitudes and
careers; and then permit us, if we full
fill the same preliminary conditions,
to exercise the same choice, and to
avail ourselves of just so much of
your system as we feel will be helpful
to us. We do not want your ideal of a
liberal education to be lowered or modi-
fled to suit us. But we want to know
how far our own aims and achievements
correspond to that ideal. and we ask
leave to be measured by the recognized
tests. Men will be helped in giving a
wise and generous response to this ap-
peal in just the proportion in which they
view it in the light of their own person
al history and experience. If man
who is destined, forexample. to the law
or the church, were to take up some
subject, such as botany or chemistry,
were to write treatise on Grimm's law
or on the fourth dimension. and any
public authority were to interpOse with
reminder that such studies had
no relation to the proper business of his
life. and ought therefore not to be pur-
sued, he would regard such interference
as impertinent lie would claim to be
the best judge of his own interests.
In like manner we are not entitled to
affirm respecting any one department
of intellectual effort that it is unsuited
to the nature or to the probable destiny
of woman. There is no kind of bnowl-
edge, if honestly acquired, which may
not be available in unexpected ways for
the enrichment and adornment of life,
whether the life be that of a man or a
woman. And even though the knowl-
edge or power which is the product of
liberal education may seem to have no
bearing at all upon the special business
or definite duties of woman. yet if it
be felt by its possessor to make life
more full. more varied, and more inter
esting. and better worth living. no 9TH
er justification is needed for placing the
largest opportunities within her reach.
She has right to exercise free choice
and to solve the problem for herself.

HE FARMERS, ALLIANCE
Probable Results of Its Participation In
toaf


The Republican members of tia
Farmers Alliance will do well to con-
slider the facts pertaining to the pro-
posed organization of a new party for
National purposes. They can easily
satisfy themselves that the project is in
the direct interest of the Democratic
party; and surely they do not wish to
contribute to the strength of move
mcnt that is likely to have such an eff
feet. The situation as to the next
election is very simple one. There is
nothing more certain than that the can
didate of one or the other of the two
great parties will secure the Presidency.
No new party, even under the most
favorable conditions, could hope to poll
enough votes to carry the election at its
first attempt. At the most, it could
only expect to defeat a choice by the
people, and throw the election into the
House, as provided by the constitution.
In the present instance, this would nee.
essarily mean the success of the Demo
cratic candidate. The House by which
the President would be elected has al
ready been chosen, and it is overwhelm-
ingly Democratic. No consideration
would be given to the new party. The
results of its participation in the con-
test would be appropriated by the Dem
ocrats quite as a matter of course, ana
it would have nothing to show for its
votes except the defeat of the Repub-
hcan ticket.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
members of the Alliance who have here
tofore acted with the Republican party
are now ready to 60 to the opposite eX
| treme and help to achieve Democratic
victory. They have all along resented
| the idea of an intention on their part &c
| turn Democrats. AS n rule, they have
claimed TO be just as good Republicans
as ever. Whatever causes of complaint
! they have urged against their own par
| ty, they have not failed to specify "a
many, or more, against the other one.
| On square issue between the two ex-
| listing parties. therefore. they could not
consistently refuse to support the one
with which they have previously been
| identified: and that is the condition that
will be presented in 1892. If they &C
| into a new party it will not imply sim
ply the throwing away of their votes,
but the giving of positive and effective
| assistance to the Democratic party.
This is not matter of theory, but of
plain and conclusive fact. In voting for
third party candidate they would only
be taking a certain number of votes
away from the Republican candidate
for the purpose of transferring the final
choice to body that would inevitably
bestow the Office upon the Democratic
candidate. The Democratic members
of the Alliance can afford to take that
course. because it would be practically
the same as voting for their own party;
but the Republicans arc differently re-
lated to the scheme, and tteir intelli-
gence should readily assure them that
it is not thing for them to favor in
any form or degree.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

MINISTER'S WIVES.
What Some of the More Prominent Think
About Parish Work.

Clergymen'S wives do not all believe
that they are bound by their position to
perform parish duties. Mrs. Lyman
Abbott. the wife of Henry Ward Beech
cr's successor. says, for example. that
minister's wife is first of all. wife and
mother. and that the duties which she
| has in common with other matrOnS are
to be attended to first. These accom-
| plished. she looks upon any church
work which may then confront her as
privilege. but not as duty. Mrs
| Charles Parkhurst, wife, of the pastor of
the Madison Square Congregational
Church. holds similar views, but adds
that if minister's wife is not in SYM
patty with her husband S work her use
fulness is impaired. DR.. John Halls
wife seldom sees the public. This is
also true of the wife of Rev. William VI.
Taylor. the highest-salaried pastor in
New YOrk-he draws SIC. 900 annually
and of Mrs. Richard II. StOrrs. of
Brooklyn. Mrs. Henry Potter, wife of
the bishop of Few York. shuns the pub
lie when at home, but has large circle
of private friends. She divides her time
bcJNttn lHlS CITY anu new port. NtN-
erthelcss Mrs. Potter and her daughters
are interchangeable voluntary workers in
the missions of the city. Mrs. Rains
ford. wife of the fashionable rector of
St Georges. is more of society woman
than a church or mission worker.
Mrs. Arthur Brooks says that wOm-
an should always be in sympathy with
her husbands work whpthp IL he that
of clergyman or layman, but that par
ish work with the wife is entirely
matter of choice. Like other clergy
mems wives in town. she will not make
the first calls on members of her hus-
bands church. Young Mrs. Winchester
Donald. wife of the rector of the Church
of the Ascension. feels that the parish
would not be satisfied unless she was
identified with the interests of thcchurch
She makes the first call on her hus-
bands Pensioners because she thinks
it pleasant to know the people one meets
at church. Mrs. IIeber Newton lived
20 miles away from New York, until
this fall. because she thought country
air beneficial to her children. Now
that her children are grown she has
moved into the rectOry on Madison
avenue and will probably take an inter
est in parish work. Dr.. Howard Cros-
by's wife. when asked for her views as
to the duties of a clergyman's wife. re-
piled coldly: Il have not the least idea;
not the least in the world. "-Pittsburgh

IhAb cOfhlh caLN ANIIo has "lllISh
treatise making forcible appeal to
German women to resist the tendency
of woman's education to treat girls eX-
clusively as future house-keepers and

is an injustice, since no one thinks Of
educating boys simply to be future
householders and fathers. She insists
that the modern system of educating
women results in cramping women's
individuality and in lowering the ideals

not yet decided upon, but it is likely to
be pale blue, gray or yellow. There
are to be two sorts, one considerably
larger than that now in use, and another
smaller. Both are to be very handsome
and attractive, and the smaller has been
