ITS RECORD GOOD.

The Republican Party. Proud OF Its fast
Achievements. should Enter the Cam
paign with That Enthusiasm That Pre-
sages Victory.
The Emporia Republican, in summing
up the achievements of the repub lean
party in the past concludes timely
article as follows:
THE republican party is preparing
to go before the country this year and
ask an Endorsement of its rule under
the present administration. And it
will not come empty handed. Its rec
ord has been such as to entitle it to an
Endorsement, and to a continuance of
power The country is fami lar with
the important achievements of the
past three years Our national honor
has been upheld in various complica-
tons with foreign countries, and the
national interests wisely conserved.
The disabled soldiers of the country
have been taken care of, and their
widows and children saved from want.
A silver law has been enacted which
adds nearly $1,000, 900 month to the
money supply, thus stimulating bust
ness and relaxing financial stringency.
A member of new states have been
created and taken into the sisterhood.
The tariff system has been reformed in
a manner which, while it reduces the
surplus revenue, gives protection to
labor and builds up the home market
Reciprocity relations have been estab-
lished with numerous foreign countries
and new markets opened up for Amer
lean products and wares.
To all these and other accomplish
ments the republican party can point
the country as proof that its useful
ness has not departed. 1t is still the
progressive, capable, patriotic organ
ization that administered the nations
affairs so wisely in the dark days of re-
bellion and war. There has been no
ADLER administration of the govern
ment, considering the times and condi-
lions, since the foundation of the re-
public than that of Benjamin Harri-
son. The party NAV ask an intelli-
gent popular verdict upon it with every
confidence that it will be approved, and
enter upon the years campaign with
that enthusiasm which presages and
| largely makes victory"

A MISCHIEvOUS MEASURE.
What the Democratic Scheme of Froe
Coinage Would DO.

Coinage Would DO.
Free coinage of silver is objection
able in several ways The report of
the republican minority of the coinage
committee in the house called atten-
ton to some of these objections in a
very terse and business like manner.
1t called attention to the fact that
creditors have some rights as well as
debtors. The so-called creditor class
in this country is not made up of
wealthy men, as is sometimes supposed
by politicians and argued by dema-
gogues. Every man and woman who
has succeeded in saving a few dollars
out of the proceeds of their labor be-
longs to the creditor class of this coun-
try. Every poor woman who tolls over
her wash tubs and saves a little out of
her earnings for old age and deposits
it in some savings bank belongs to the
creditor class. The demagogues like
Free-Silver Bland, who would legislate
against the creditor class, would rob
this poor woman of her hard earned
savings to the extent by which they
W ould depreciate the value of the
American dollar.
In the savings banks of this country
there is over $1,000. 900, 900 on deposit.
That is more money than is in active
circulation. Whose money is this? 1t
does not belong to the rich people of
the country, not to the millionaires and
not to the spectators They do not
put their money in the savings banks
This vast amount of deposits belongs to
the laboring classes of the country. To
| the men and the women who save a
! few dollars every month. Go to any
| savings bank and it will be found
that the money on deposit there
belongs to the men and women who
are toiling for small salaries or for
daily wages. 1t needs no argument to
| prove this assertion.
The creditor classes of this country
are the laboring classes Of this coun-
! try. The real money lenders of the
New England states are the factory
/ employees who have succeeded in saw
| ing little out of thei; earnings The
aggregate is large and comes west
seeking investment The interests OF
the debtor class should be zealously
watched. But the honest debtor class
does not ask the destruction Of the in

Mrs. Tel Sono is bright little jap

distinction as temperance lecturer,
lawyer and missionary worker. She
belongs to a high-caste family in Toxic.
where she was educated and studied
law, being the first Japanese woman to
ever take up that profession. Being so
unfortunate as to have drunken hus-

of him by coming to America, which
she did, making her first appearance in
this country at the annual convention
of the Worlds Woman's C. 7. U. in
Boston last autumn, where she entered
the field of temperance workers. She
is now travelling and lecturing on tenn
perance and recently spoke in Wash
ington city. 1t is said of her that she is
really an interesting speaker, and while
her English is a bit choppy. her quaint
expressions increase rather than de-
tract from her lectures Besides being
an enthusiastic temperance worker, she
is an ardent Christian and a good eX-
horter When a lady was presented
whose friend she knew she kissed her
and said: Praise the Lord" When
she was through her lecture she held
regular reception, when all had a
chance to greet her. She is an amiable

The woman's question is the para
mount question of the day, and in its
varied inter pretations is as interesting
now as in the days when DIR. ]. G. Hol-
land included the theme among his
lectures. After his woman lecture in
New England town, where enamel
patton had been embraced to n consid-
erable extent, young lady who was
engaged in the study of medicine said
to him: Doctor, what you say is very
good for women who have husbands
and children. but what do you say to
those OF US who have none?"
I say get them" answered the doc
tor.
Apropos of this woman question it
may be pertinent to ask why, in the
name OF all that is reasonable, is it any
more dangerous to society for woman
to neglect certain wifely duties once in
cluded in her sphere OF action than for
a man to shirl1 all home responsibilities
except that of growing about the
things the woman leaves undone? Now

COMMERCIAL TRAMPS."

The Skim. Milk Congressman Makes
Stew Remarks" About Comm erclal
Travellers.
Congressman John Otis is being
severely censured for his assault upon
the commercial travellers of the coun-
try in the debate on the bill amending
the interstate commerce law SO that
special rates on railroads may be given
to travelling men Mr.. Otis opposed the
bill, and in his speech said: Il would
like to inquire who are commercial
travellers? We call them in our coun-
try commercial tranps, and We think
that is more appropriate name for
them. We belong to that honorable or
panization, patrons of husbandry, that
for twenty years has adopted principles
of cooperation in trade, and we
believe these commercial travellers are
useless excrescences on the whole COM
mercial system. We are opposed to
them on general principles, and especi-
ally are we opposed to giving the m
special privileges"
The sentiments expressed by Mr.. Otis
do not have the Endorsement of the
other members of congress. Congress
man Johnson said that he considered
commercial travellers useful and hon
orable class of men, and when Mr.. Otis
called them tramps, it was an attack
that was without cause or reason

WHAT is WANTED.

A Demand for Bachelor Apartments for
Women in the Large Cities.
The demand for bachelor apartments
for women in New York city is grow
ing more and more urgent every year,
as the great metropolis attracts to her
self a steadily increasing corps of single
self-supporting women. Back hall bed
rooms and the grim, dreary boarding
house parlor used in the early days of
feminine independence to suffice, since
pioneers in worthy cause can put up
with many inconvenience posterity
will not tolerate.
When women began life at first alone
and in city, the salaries were small
and the earners thereof chung to the
respectable but shabby boarding-house,
fearful to take a holder step. Now,
however, we have changed all that.
The young woman, Immediately she
can earn more than will pay for one
room back, begins to dream of certain
privileges and possessions that can
never be hers in the boarding house.
In the attempt to make the dream a
reality she falls into the habit of eX-
aiming small flats, floors for rent, etc,
but nothing so fulflls her ideal as the
bachelor apartments-those especially
built for the unmarried man. There
she sees space sufficient, yet never too
great, and all so well arraigned There
are all the foundation comforts of
home, with never a responsibility, and
the price not out of her reach.
But this elysium is set apart for mas
culine use and pleasure alone, and who
will build such a castle of delight for
women? If clearinghouse is prepared
for women it is hedged about with a
barrier OF rules and regulations that no
self-respecting, independent female
would or could submit to. One had
rather suffer the little back room than
endure restrictions suitable, perhaps,
for an old-fashioned girls boarding
school
1t would seem, however, that the
time had arrived for prejudice and sus'
picion to be laid aside, and an apart
ment house arranged for feminine occu-
pants Whoever may undertake such
an investment will do well to profit by
foregoing examples, and let the pretty
suites OF rooms to women on very
nearly the same terms that hold good
with the bachelor housekeepers- The
lady managers of the New Orleans
Woman's club some years ago inaugu-
rated the unheard-of plan of letting
the unused rooms of the club house to
working women, on truly masculine
terms To the establishment of the in
credulous, and the delight of the mana
gers the scheme worked like a charm.
Every room is filed with desirable ten
ants, who. triumphing in their dignified
freedom. in their latch keys, and the
confidence of others, prove the right OF
the 'spinster to enjoy equal privileges
with the bachelor illustrated Amer
lean.

PARTY HARMONY.

| 40 "Nonkey" business Wanted, But Good
Nominations and a United Party.
| Republicans of Kansas certainly APP
preciate the value of a harmonious
campaign this year. The fight before
US is to be an arduous one, and the out
come is by no means assured. While
it is probable that the state viii be
saved, yet this probability is based
upon the superstition that the repub-
lican party will make powerful cam
paign. No campaign can be powerful
which is lacking in the essential in
gradients of unity and harmony. In
other words, the republicans of Kan
sas are confronting situation that is
entirely too serious to permit of any
monkey" business. A strong pull, a
long pull and pull altogether is the
essential to party victory this year,
and that is the kind of effort that must
be made.
To secure harmony it will be neces-
sary to lay aside personal preferences
and prejudices, and, to a large extent,
personal ambitions also Republicans
believe in the Brightness of republican
principles and the grand history and
destiny of the republican party. and
thus believing they should have one
paramount end in view-the success of
the republican cause. All minor con-
siderations should give way before this
one great motive. Party leaders and
party papers ought to carefully guard
against INDUCING any petty spites or
grudgeS that will prove weakening
later on They should go into this
campaign determined to do their best
for the ticket, whether its personnel be
acceptable or Objectionable.
This is the spirit that accomplishes
results, and enables a party to get
there" Endeavor in a fair and honest
way to nominate men who seem to be
best fitted for candidates and for office;
but be careful not to say things of
other aspirauts which, If they should
be nominated, will prevent giving them
a cordial and enthusiastic support
There ought to be no question among
republicans that the success of the re-
publican party this year is for the best
interests of the state and the country.
Then every republican should place and
keep himself aud-in so far as he is
able the party-in a position TO give
will insure victory. Let there be no
crowds" or factions, but a united,
harmonious and enthusiastic party.
This is what we need and must have

MUSIC HER FORTE.
The Work of Miss Maude Valerie White, an
English Lady.

The Work of Miss Maude Valerie White, an
English Lady.
Miss Maude Valerie White whose vo-
cal composition have brought her into
prominence as possessing musical tai
ents of a high order, was born at
Dieppe June 90, 1856. Her parents
were English and lived at Valparaiso,
where her father was in business as a
merchant. Miss White has seen great
deal of the world, for, though born In
France, she subsequently passed many
of the early years of her life in Chill,
whittier, by the by, she has recently
gone on an extended visit to her two
married sisters; she was for two years
at Heidelberg, and it was not until she
was well advanced in her teens that she
took up her residence in England,
where she first received instruction in
music from w. 5. Rockstro, and after
ward at Queens college, from
Olive May, to whose assiduous care and
classic taste she attributes much of her
ultimate success. In 1876 she entered
the Royal Academy of Music as stu
dent, studying compositions under the
forte playing under his brother, Walter
Macfarren; in 1879 she gained the Mem
delsshon scholarship, the committee of
which decided she should continue her
studies at the royal academy with
these professors and +. w. Davenport
It was Charles Sanity to whom the
credit belonged of having first revealed
to the public Miss Whites very remark
able talents, for, having one day at the
academy been prevailed on to try over
her setting of ''Montrose's Love Song,
he was so impressed with the beauty
and originality of that composition
that he went through it again and
again, and afterward made its success
with the public by his splendid singing
of the song all over the country. To
this great vocalist the musical world also
ewes its acquaintance with her beau
tiful songs Absent Yet Present" THE
Devout Lover" and her characteristic
setting of Heine's poem Elm Jungling
liebt Elm Madchen." Failing health
necessitated the retirement OF Miss
White from the academy in 1881, when
she was created an associate; but be-
fore leaving she produced at one of the
public concerts of the institution mass
for solo and chorus, with orchestra
Two years sojourn in the genial cli-
mate OF Chilli restored her TO health and
musical activity, and, after studying
for short time in Vienna, she took up
her residence again in London, which
she has since made her headquarters
Miss White is a highly accomplished
linguist and speaks and writes perfect
" in French. German, Italian and
Spanish, besides English, and this cir
cumstance may account for her having
set to music so many German and
French lyrics and for the singular pro-
priety with which has observed the
accent and meter of verses in these and
her own mother tongue. Chicago Post.

MRS. LEASE.

The Failure of the st. Louis Conference tn
Throw a Line to Woman's Suffrage Brings
Prediction From Mrs. Lease.
The failure of the St Louis confer
ence to throw a line to woman's
suffrage leads Mrs Lease to make tho
prediction that if the Minneapolis con
vention adopts a woman suffrage plank
the republican party will remain Sc
curely in power for twenty-five years
longer.
This is most astonishing statement
and indicates that Mrs. Lease has
learned something. A year ago the peo-
pies party feminine boss was as certain
of the republican party's doom, beyond
the saving power of any earthly inter
vention, as she was of the submission
of Mr. Lease to her political leadership.
In the last year her vision has taken in
a wider scene; she has learned, much tc
her surprise, that Kansas is not bounded
on the east by the Atlantic nor on the
west by the Pacific, and though very
superior, to be sure, is yet very small

will cut about as large and dignified q
figure in the coming campaign as Mrs.
Belva Lockwood in 1885 or Ben Butler
in 1884 E
The admission that woman's suf-
frage plank would perpetuate the re-
publican party in power for another
quarter century is a candid confession
that Mrs. Lease has discovered that in
the Judgment of the majority of the
voters the grand old party is not so
''rotten" as her rank imagination de-
picted it year ago; that in the opinion
of the people it is worthy of their sup
port, and the inference is strong that
the adoption of this one reform would
win over the blushing Mrs. Lease her
self, and consequently Mr.. Lease and
young Master Lease as we'll
The virtual admission by Mrs Lease
that the republican party is strong
with the people illustrates the value of
travel as a means of broadening the
mind and disabusing it of prejudice.
She seems to have learned that the peo-
pie at large have no use for the finan-
cial quack devices of the peoples party.

A False Verdict.

1t is said that men love women for
their failings, their pretty weaknesses,
and falser verdict was never uttered
Some men love weak women in spite of
their weakness, but none love them for
it. They love the possibilities, unful-
filled though they may always remain;
love from habit of sympathetic associa-
ton, but respect only the women
whose principles are lofty, and who
scorn the managing" of their hus-
bands, to which women whose lives are
filed with selfish motives descend.
There is no law which can be applied
to the honorable, righteous, courteous
and absolute right" dealing between
men in the world that can not be
brought into married life->the relation
of man TO woman, and applied with
equal justice, and with an added beauty
drawn from their tender and holy re-
lation. their pledged faith and friend
ship, and their mutual interests.-Chi-
