Considerable Of It Will Probably BE Nam
fested mt T0night's Caucus.


fested mt Tonight's Caucus.
The democratic caucus to be held tonight is
for the purpose Of considering the rules.
Much more opposition to the report Of the
committee on rules has developed than was
expected, though it was understood from the
first that there would be some opposition.
Those democrats who are ON general prin-
ciples ready to oppose anything that the
Speaker is supposed to favor join with those
who have real objection to features
OF the report, and some young men
who are serving their first term in
Congress and derive their knowledge
OF parliamentary procedure from debating
societies are opposed to any proposition which
seems to have in view the restriction of the
power Of the flibusterer.
The call for the caucus does not come from
the committee on rules, but from those oppos-
ing the committee. 1t is, of course, doubtful
whether any thing ean be accomplished in the
caucus. but It is very probable that . ma
lority OF the democratic Representatives
Is IN favor OF the rules proposed and that they
Will be adopted. just to show what they could
do ii they wanted to the republicans engaged

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS
FOR PRESIDENT,
BENJAMIN HARRISON, OF Indiana.
FOR vICE-PREsIDENT,
WHITELAW REID. Of New York.
A USEFUL UNION,

A USEFUL UNION.
It has not been generally supposed in
this country that the noble fight which
Woman is making against the tyrant Man
has reached q more advanced stage in
Germany than here. But it appears to
have done 80. Neither in this nor In any
other country than Germany that we know
of has co. operation in the management of
husbands been attempted. To be sure,
in this country occasionally .'one woman
will do what little she can to help another
woman administer discipline to an erring
husband, but it has been left for German
women to form a union for that purpose.
The union has Its headquarters in Berlin,
and was candidly named "The Association
of Married Women for the Control of
Husbands" The central aim of this So
ciety has been to prevent husbands from
going on sprees or associating with OBJ
jectionable women. To give symmetry to
its plan the society employed detectives
whose duty 1t has been, upon complaint of
member, to follow the members husband
at night and eventually ito decoy the ap-
pretended offender into meeting of the
association" Before this dreadful in
QUESTION the erring husband, confronted
not only by his own wife, but other mems
wives, is informed of the things that are
known about him, and is threatened with
exposure and disgrace If he doesn't
turn over q now leaf. The scheme
worked we'll for time. Many a strsying
man found the way of the transgressor
hard, and was made careful. But finally
the association caught a Tartar in the
shape of man who was either too inno-
cent or too shameless to bow down to It.
He refused to take the dose of oensure
prepared for him and has done his best,
by making public the aims and methods
of the association, to hurt its usefulness.
We hope this society for the manage
ment of husbands will not suffer from
this setback. 1t should be remembered
that there are few husbands who would
have the courage TO defy such n society.
The few who have should be lot alone
and the many who have not should be
attended TO. II IL n needed and useful
work which tho society has undertaken
and IL should not bo easily discouraged.

HOW TIE TAHITI WORKS.

As ID we'll known, many Of the New
York importers were opposed TO the Mo
Kinley bill because II would prevent them
from dealing in certain imported goods as
they had been doing. Lord & Taylor. the
we'll known dry goods men, were among
those hostile to the bill for this reason. A
member of the firm says: AS importers of
dry goods we were against the Mckinley
tariff, and during all the time 1t was be-
fore congress we joined heartily in every
effort made by the importers to prevent
its passage, and hoped, at least, to have
some of the provisions most seriously sf-
fscting our business stricken out, but to
no effect. By its passage many lines of
goods in which we had been doing large
business were effectively barred out. and
the cost of other kinds was so far ad-
vanced as to make all hope of profit out of
tno question.
1t is true that the Mckinley tariff has
done what Lord & Taylor and other i'm
porters thought it would do. But it has
also done something which they didn't
be6m TO tnluk IL Woulu uO. Ine Rentle-
man above quoted says: mot willing to
give up the dress, goods business, we be-
gan to apply to the production of domes
| tic dress goods the same care which had
made our foreign dress goods successful
in procuring exclusive styles and honest
fabrics in large range of colorings, and
tastefully put up. Many of these fabrics
now have an acknowledged reputation fol
quality, style and finish, which have nearl,
trebled tho sales of this department owe

and fancy woolen dress goods Il

and intrinsically better value for the cost
