postmaster of that city and then

He was chairman of the Repubh-

later. This success led to his APP

1t means that the American labor

the "half slave" black toilers of

1t means that the natural L Dor

blacks, and Congress has no right
to put any labor on a higher pane
than that.
1t means that the Southern Dem
ocracy are determined to exploit
labor in the future as in the last,
not only black, but white as sen.
They demand the right to exchange

labor for foreign goods and hck-

WASHINGTON. June 30.-Guess-
ing as to Secretary Blaine's sue
cessor came to an end yesterday,
when Gen. John W. Foster, of In
diana, was appointed Secretary of
state.
THE NEW sECRETARY's CAREER.
Hon. John w. Foster, of Indi-
ana, whose nomination to be secre-
tary of state, vice James G. Blaine,
resigned, has had a diplomatic career
probably never equaled in Ameri-
can history.
Born in Indiana fifty-fiye years
ago he was educated in the public
schools and graduated from the
State University.
He was admitted to the bar and
in connection with his practice of
TIE law engaged in newspaper work,
being connected with the Evans
vile Tribune. He served in the
war of the rebellion and after it's
close took a prominent part in the
politics of the state. In 1872 he
served as chairman of Republican
state central committee and in the
next year he was appointed by the
President, Grant, Minister to Mexi-
ca lie served successfully as min
lister to Russia and Spain, acquit-
ting himself with great credit and
winning for his country a higher
regard than it had previously en-
joyed at these courts, While MIR.
Cleveland was in the presidential
office he compimented Mr.. Foster
by sending him as special convoy
to Spain to negotiate commercial
treaty, in which he was successful,
but the treaty failed of ratification
by the Senate. When the McKin-
ley bill made it incumbent upon
the department to consummate the
reciprocal trade arrangements pro-
vided for by section 3 of that act,
Mr.. Foster was placed in charge of
the negotiations. His selection
was indicated by the facility and
success with which these arrange
ments were perfected. Recently
he has had charge of the Behring
sea negotiations, and was of great
use in preparing the case for pres
entation to the arbitrators. Since
his retirement from regular diplo-
matte service of the government,
Mr.. Foster has acted as counsellor
for the Chinese, Spanish and Mexi-
can legations in Washington, and
his acceptance Of the office, it is
understood, involved a considera-
BILE personal financial sacrifice.
Mr.. Foster is an elder in DIR.
Bartlctt's Presbyterian church.
His family at home consists on
ly Of wife, his two daughters,
both married, being residents of
Watertown, n. Y. Mr.. Foster
has his legal residence in Evans
Vile, Ind.
His immediate confirmation by
the Senate is an unusual compli-
ment to the nominee, one which
has heretofore been extended only
to senators, sitting in the body
when nominated to Office by the
President.

government had no right or power
to levy a tariff to protect labor, or
to do ought else save raise revenue.
The Democratic platform echoes
the doctrine of the slave-holding
free traders that Congress had no
right or power to give free North
ern labor any legislative privilege
over slave labor.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1892-07-08

THERE are Republicans who are
in some doubt as to the kind of
legislation needed to secure an hon
est ballot in the South and stop the
prostitution of election laws and
machinery in that section. They
are ready to listen to any honest
argument or suggestion in regard
to this matter, but it may as well
be understood at once that they
will yield nothing to the Outlying
spirit and insolent falsehoods of
the Democratic platform in its de-
nunciations Of the "Force bill"
plantation manners" have been
squelched in Congress and it is
about time the bullying insolence
of slavery should be omitted from
the Democratic platforms. The
ex-rebels have suffered enough by
this time to know that the North is
not to be bulhed and that no cause
is to be helped in this country bv

To Study The Bible.

Mr.. Moody's Bible Institute in
Chicago is making great prepare
tions for the coming winter and
next year, with especial reference
to the need there will be for aggres.
sive Christian work among the vast
crowds who will visit the Fair.
Two new stories upon the main
building are about completed.
These will afford accommodations
for one hundred additional men.
Mr.. Moody, himself, expects to
spend a large proportion of the
year '93 in Chicago, and is trying
to secure leading men from the old
country and America to preach the
Gospel in English and other langu-
ages, and also to give instructions
in the Institute, in addition to the
regular corps of teachers.
Those who enter the school in
October, or as soon after that as
possible, will have the best oppor-
tunities in the work. In accepting
applicants, preference will, of
caurse be given to those expecting
to stay throughout the year. None
are admitted but such as are pre-
pairing for some form of Christian
work.
1t seems likely that more room
will have to be provided for the
Women's Department in order to
accept all the promising appli-
cants.
Special attention will be paid to
the work of the Musical Depart
ment of the Institute. 1t is pro-
posed to gather and train a large
male choir, to sing at the services
to be held during the Worlds Fair,
and extra privileges will be grant
ed to pupils having exceptionally
good voices, who will remain dur
ing that period. The musical terms
begin the first Tuesday of October,
January, April and July.

Departments should be addressed

ed to the Public.
1t may not be known to everyone
that Mrs. Benjamin Harrison is
one of the best of American flower
painters. Since she has occupied
her position of lady of the White
House, however, her public duties
have largely prevented the exercise
of her artistic genius; but in that
period she has found leisure to paint
one of the loveliest representations
of flower-life that ever came from
an artists brush,a-magnificent-
group of orchids on porcelain
panel. With that broad and kind
ly spirit which has marked her
career, she has presented this single
production of her scant leisure to-
the public, and Demorest's Mag
azine has the honor of being the
medium through which this paint
ing is offered to the mothers, wives
and daughters of America, to
whom it is lovingly dedicated
There is no faint of politics init: it
is simply the tribute of a good wo-
mans love for the women of her
nation, superbly expressed in color
and fOrm,-the foremost women of
the Republic cementing, by means
of her art, her sisterhood with all
others of her sex in the land.
