A Needed Type of Statesman.

General Palmer, the new United
states Ser ator from Illinois, belongs
Ia class of statesmen that has been
little seen or felt during the last score
of years. He is Of heroic mould: he
has frequently sacrificed political hon.
prs, but he has never sacrificed his con-
victinns. His rather emphatic than
elegant expression to one of the Farm
ers' Alliance Representatives who held
his election to the Senate i'm their hands
II don't mean to go to hell by way
Of the Senate, Mr.. Cockrell," summed
up his political character so clearly
that none can misunderstood him.
General Pal twice resigned a seat
in the Senate of Illinois because lie
could not follow the commands of his
party. In 1852 he was elected as a
Democratic Senator. but in 1854 he de-
nounced his party for the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise and its Kansas
policy. AS he could not follow his
party, he resigned his Senatorship and
went before his people as an anti-slav-
cry Democrat and was again elected i'm
1856. In 1856 he decided to sever all
atfiliation with the Democrats and he
presided over the first Republican con-
vention in that State. A he had been
elected To to the Senate as u professed
Democrat,and could no longer act with
the party, he again resigned his Sena-
torship. In 1868 he was nominated by
the Republicans and elected Governor
of his State, and in 1872 he took Issue
with General Grant because of his des-
potic abuse of the military in politics
and supported Greeley for Pesident.
Since then persistence in oppressive
tariff taxes bJ the Republicans has
made him act with the Democrats and
he has several times led them i'm Illi-
nois as a nominated candidate for Gov
ernor or Senator.
General Palmer is statesman of
conviction and heroic in his fidelity to
his honest judgment. He is, indeed,
much needed type Of statesman, and
his election to the Senate means much
more than party victory; it means
victory for manliuess In statesmanship
and heroic integrity In public trust

The "Piuck-Me" Vote.

The vote on Monday in the Missouri
Senate against the bill for the weekly
| payment of wages in legal tender when
| there is no contract to the contrary was
as follows:
Nays-Burks, HendricKson, ,McGinnis, Pol.
| lard, Byors, Stephens and Taggart.
| Left the chamber to avoid going on record
| Stone and Richardson.
The men who are thus upholding the
! fraud through which earners of the
State are robbed by payment in tokens
! redeemable only in company truck y
stores have no excuse whatever. Ii
has not been their effort to improve the
pending bill, but to defeat any bill pro-
viding that when work is done wages
shall be due in cash in every case
| where a written contract does rot pro-
| vide otherwise. The Republicans who
cast the majority of the votes IN favor
of Truck-Store swindlng cannot shield
themselves by the paltry pretext that
on the Democratic majority RESPONSE
bility for allowing the defeat of just
measure. Even if the defeat of the bill
| costs the Democrats 80 900 votes in 1882
and loses them three Congressmen. il
does not justify or excuse the Republi-
| can votes cast against it. They were
cast as individual votes in the service
of the Truck Store corporations. Nc
|
| exactly the same reason that controlled
the vote of Burks, who, elected as
Democrat. has abandoned and betray.
ed his party.
In every respect the bill thus antago'
nized is the most important measure
| of the session. If the earners of Mis-.
souri, cannot be accorded at least a
prima-facie right to cash payment In
current money, if they can be COMPEL.
ed to accept payment In goods on which
an arbitrary price has been set, then 1t
is demonstrated that the Missouri Sem
ate is in sympathy with fraud, and is
fraudulently controlled against the
people of Missouri and the Democratic
party Of the State.
In the service Of fraudulent corpora
tions there is no question of partisa n
ship.
The tools put in office for fraudulent
purposes are neither Democrats or Re-
publicans. They have neither party
principle nor private principle. They
get living out of their work, end they
do the work to live. It is generally
cheaper for the corporations to keep
them in stock than to buy them when
needed, but whether bought for the oc-
casion or kept in stock for use they are
curse to any State they infesr.-Re-

Italians and the Malta.

1t is very considerste in Italy to "re-
frain from sending an ironclad to the
mouth of the Mississippi. F" That
would do the Italians at New Orleans
SO much good. But the announcement
of the Ministerial organ need not he
taken too seriously. The government
at Rome is showing more sense than
some OF the newspapers there and
much more than great many Italians
in AmerIcs. To make national or
trace Issue" of the New Orleans affair
would be the grea test possible blunder
for 1t would simply excite against Ital-
ians indiscriminately the feeling that
is directed only against band Of mis-
creants whose nationality Is d mere
accident, Of the very smallest concern.
One Roman newspaper, the Don
QuiEofe, has TIE sense to recognize
this. Such incidents, 1t rightly says,
would not occur ''if the towns on the
Atlantic coast were not infested with
the ex- -galley-slaves of Europe" The
fellows who had terrorized New Or
leans and who plstted the murder of
the Chief of Police, If they have not
been galley slaves, ought to have been.
They are bandits and cut-throats OF
whom the Italian Government thought
itself well rid, Many such fellows
have been shot down by the carbineers
in the mountains of Sicily with as lit
tie compunclion as was shown by the
volunteer executioners at New Orleans.
Why should any one wish to have
thom considered as representative Ital-
ians7
The New Orleans affair no more con-
Germs Italians as such, here or at home,
than ii concerns any other residents Of
the United States. The orderly ad-
Dinistration of justice is of equal con-
sequence to all of us and SO is the sup
preston of all lawless and criminal
combinations from whatever race or
class recruited. However we may de-
plore the resort to lynch law or its real
or supposed necessity, the victims of
this outbreak are eptitled to nobody's
sympathy and least of all to that of
honorable Italians, whose native land
has driven out these banditti and who
should not be anxious to claim them as
fellow-couuntrymen 1t is piece of
fir ieDdly advice to the Italian societies
to bold no more meetings and make no
more public deliveraDces, but to leave
the matter to the good sense and the
C comprehensive justice of the whole
American people. of whom they should
regard themselves as part.-Phitadet

The Gain In the Senate.

Some political changes of interest
| and Importance to the Democracy dis
close theselvos as the fruits of last
years victory are garnered and gather
ed in. Not the least of these benefits,
far-reaching in its influence for good, is
the increased represen tation of the
party in the Senate from the closely
contested States in the belt north of
the Ohio River.
For many years Ohio, Illinois, and
Wisconsin have been Republican States
by steadily decreasing majorities. In
diana, originally doubtful and always
close, has been veering constantly to-
ward the Democracy. These four state g
had II electoral votes in 1888; they will
have "A electoral votes in 1892. Con-
Meeting New York and Pennsylvania
on the east with Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas on the west, the in
f1uence which they have exercised on
the politics of the country has always
been important and generally decisive.
The Illinois Leg isla,ure has just chosen
the first Democrat to represent that
State in the Senate in many years.
William F. Villas is likewise a pioneer
for his party in the Senate for Wiscon-
sin. while Brice of Ohio and V.orh ees
and Turpie of Indiana make up quin-
tet Of Senators outnumbering, for the
first time since the foundation of the
Republican party, that party's Sena-
torial representation from the central
and important group of States out of
which every successful Republican
Presidential candidate has been chosen.
A large representation of Democrats
from these Central States means ir-
evitably closer adherence in the ful-
ure to the cherished principles and poll
icies of which their election, the reward
of courage and consistency, is one of
fruits. The battle OF the Democracy In

Qualifications of a Nurse.

A well known medical man in writing
about nursing says: at is not absolutely
necessary that II sick nurse should be high.
ly educated, but she must possess the
qualification of common seuSe'-that is,
the knowledge OF everyday affairs. She
must, however. lie able to read writing,
and she ought also to have all her five
senses in IA healthy, active condition-viz.,
sight, hearing, feeling, smell and taste
sight that she may be able to read direc-
lions or aloud to the patient and watch the
change of countenance.
Hearing, that she may catch the faintest
whisper or change Of breathing. Feeling
that she may detect instantly any change
in the heat or dryness or chill of the skin.
Smell, to notice at once the least impurity
III the atmosphere of the room, or to Judge
Of medic!ue; and taste, that she may not
offer any food to the patient that is not ap.
petiHing and wholesome. This is an excel
lent summary OF qualifications although
there are other moral attributes quite as
essential - gentleueNs, ncatnces, extreme
patience, unseltisuucss, hrmuess-in fact
II perfect woman uoDly planned is the
ideal nurse.h

Aillnr Children.

A word as to the foods of children who
are ailing just AZ soon AS mothers detect
them to be SO, whatsoever be the cause,
they should stop all solid foods and limit
the diet to liquids, and preferably to milk.
OF course children suffer from ailments
during which rigid restriction of the diet
is unnecessary, but it must be borne in
mind that of all affections prevalent among
the young arrangements of the digestive
organs are tine most commons; it is Il fact,
also, that they cause more than 80 per cent.
of all the deaths which occur in children
under five years of age.
In every casc where these arrangements
exist the diet must be restricted. And in
ailments in which the digestion remains
unaffected such restriction for short time
cunnot possibly do harm, and it may do
much good. Therefore, if mothers never
violate this rule they will keep on the
safe side" And, what is more by its OBJ
servance they will often cut short attacks
which would otherwise seriously threaten
the lives of their little ones.-Boston Her

If you want plump children, or desire to
round the figures of scrawny girls and
boys there is a short rule for it. Give
them plenty of warm drink rs well us food.
To nourish food must be well ground by
the teeth, not washed down. But at inter-
walls of the repast it is grateful to take gen
erous drafts of hot drink. Tempt chill
dren to take as much as three cups of drink
at each meal. One naturally wants to be-
gin with hearty draft, another may
well be taken at the pause in the middle of
the meal, and another If liked ut the close.
Do not force these Uhings, but have such
tempting variety from time TO time that it
is taken without Thought. | am quite
aware this is contrary 20 the general code,
but the opinion is famed by wise ply
sicians from close observation.
American families need to eat and drink
more than they generally get, and of much
better quality. 1t is obvious that the de-
nuuciatiOns for overeating written for the
beef ana pudding gorsed English have
been applied 10 oar own nation too far.
The spareness and nervousness of our pco-
pie have been discussed without coming to
the proper conclusion, that they need more
to eat. II IS the exception among Ameri
can families which eats too much, and the
meager critic who is shocked ut the hearty
apperites of her neghbors could follow
their example with baneGU.-Shirley Dare
