MANY of the Woman's World Fair
Clubs in West Virginia have resolved
to cease efforts to have display of
woman's work at the fair, "in view of
the likelihood that the gates of the
Columbian Exposition will be kept
open on Sunday and that liquor will
be sold on the ground" This is right.
The fair is given solely for promotion
of the Christian religion and the incul-
cation OF total abstinence, and If it is
to be diverted from these objects as to
be made agreeable to the mass of hui
manity and allow liberation of indi-
vidual opinion, the women of West
Virginia are justified in protesting.
The idea that some Of us have enter.
tanned that this is to be a worlds fair
to which the people and nations of the
whole world have been invited, should
be gotten rid of, and we should get
back to the original object OF giving a
grand religious and temperance festi-
val.-Oreg0nidn.

Ex Presidents Homes.

The report that President Harrison
intends To buy the old Harrison
homestead on James river, in Virginia,
recalls the fact that the original
homestead IL at North Bend. Ohio,
not far from Cincinnati. 1t was there
that General William Henry Harri-
son, the grandfather who wore the
famous hat, lived for many years, and
Il i there that he is buried in a neg.
lcctcd grave. The old log house in
which President James Buchanan was
born ~ still standing at Stony Batter,
Ia Franklin county, Pennsylvania.
The house is 20x22 feet square, of
hcwn logs, one and half stories high
--a vcfitablc peasants house, yet out
oi Il come one Of the courtliest of
American Presidents. The Harrison
house at Brandon. on James river,
dates back to the colonial period of
Virginia Benjamin, now OF the
white House, claims descent from the
original Virginia Harrisons.

Then the room with the window

For the Democracy Hence forth

j. S. Reynolds, a prominent republi~
can and lawyer CT Joliet and member
of the republican central committee,
has given his allegiance to the demo>
cratic party. He extols General Palmer,
denounces Governors Fifer's views ex-
pressed in his Joliet speech, ard states
that il Abraham Lincoln were alive he
would be with General Palmer. He
further says;
II have always voted the republican
ticket, but if l live to vote again l
shall certainly vote the democratic.
When the republican party wts gov
erned by principles and not prejudice
it was al honor to be a republican.
But a great change has taken place in
the last few years. The great leaders
Of the republican party have been
driven out of it. Read the published
proceedings of the convention thai
nominated Benjamin Harrison and you
will find why Walter Q Gresham w $
rejected, and you can there read the
notable saying of Chauncey NJ. Depew
that if he convention nominated
Gresham the influence of the New
York Central railroad would be exerted to
the fullest extent to secure the cleo
ton of Grover Cleyeland. That was
principally made up of such men
as Depew, Thurston and Spooner.
aud they were there principally to
look after tie interests OF the railroads.
How could Gresham, Lincoln, JEFF
ferson. Washington, secure the nomins
co. pf III ITpSg in,
such a conventions The very characters
of such men as these would be considered
as an inseparable disqualification. Again
witness the attitude of the republican
press in every struggle of labor for the
past four years. Read these newspaper
accounts of he great railroad strikes. and
if you could believe their reports to be
true you must believe that the employees
| had no grievances. and that the right was
wholly on the side of the corporations,
whereas in nearly every instance toe
Companies adjusted the differences in
! the end by plainly recognizing the just
ness of the demands of the employees
Is it not a fact everywhere admitted that
the republican politicians have lost con-
fiiepce in the ability of the people to gov
ern themselves? Take the late speech
| OF Gov tlfeI in Joliet, and does 1t not
fairly voice he sentiment of his party ?
1t is borrowed from foreigners that
| have written books upon cur constitu
| ton and laws.
Such men as John NJ. Palmer have an
abiding confidence in our civilization and
our form of government. He has but
little faith in theological wranele, the
passage Of sunptnarY laws, the possible
appointment of censors of public or pri.
vate morals, etc. He doesn't believe
that the United States senate should be
composed of The representatives of Wall
street. But be thinks that the people are
now capable of electing the United
States senators by direct vote and he had
to go into the Democratic party in order
that he might find liberty to exercise his
craftsmanship for the benefit of his coun-
try. If Abraham Lincoln was on earth
again l believe he would be found on the
same side of politics IS John NJ. Palmer. -

An instance in which a dream was useful
in preventing an impending catastrophe is
recorded of a daughter of Mrs. Ruther
ford, at Ederton, the granddaughter OF
Sir Walter Scott. This lady dreamed more
than once that her mother had been muir
dered by a black servant. She was so
much upset by this that she returned home,
and to her great establishment, and not a
little to her dismay, she met on entering
the house the very black servant she had
met in her dream. He had been engaged
in her absence. She prevailed upon gen
tleman to watch in an adjoining room dur
ing the following night.
About o'clock in the morning the gen
tleman heard footsteps on the stairs, came
out and met the servant carrying a guam
tity of Goals. Being questioned as to where
he was going, he answered confusedly that
he was going to mend the mistress fire,
which at 3 o'clock in the morning in the
middle of summer was evidently impos-
sible. On further investigation strong
knife was found hidden in the Goals The
lady escaped, but the man was subsequent
ly hanged for murder, and before his exc
cution he confessed that he intended to
have assassinated Mrs. Rutherford Re.

the United States contemplates resigning
his exalted Office to accept better paid em-
ployme ut in private life the circumstance
is to be deeply regretted but not to be
wondered at.
The judicial salaries of the United
States courts are standing monuments Of
the tImidity and hypocrisy of our legisla-
tors. Every one knows that the salaries
are inadequate. that they are far less than
the value of the services we exact in re-
turn, and far less than the earnings in
practice of any lawyer fit to be made
judge. Yet they remain as they are simp-
lY because congress has not the courage
TO do what is right.
The country has not yet had the spec
tacle of chief justice retiring from the
supreme bench in order to enter the ser
vice OF great corporation. and
it is to be hoped that we NAV
not see il. But such spectacle would
be no deeper reproach than the spectacle
of CHIEF Justices widow struggling with
poverty in her old age. 1t would be less
painful than the spectacle of chief JUS
tice harrassed by personal debts incurred
in the attempt 20 reconcile the expenses
OF his off cial position with the insuff1c
iency of lis official salary.

Treating nt of the Insane

Mr.. w. b. Fish, superintendent of the
Home for the Feeble Minded, at Lincoln
Ills, was at the Grand Pacific and talked
of his institution and the encouraging
progress of the work of taking care of the
states charges
The prevailing idea is that the feeble
minded are mere refuse heap of human
ity and are no better than hopeless idiots
That theory is not entertained at Lincoln
We have graduated as high as copper cent
of the inmates in a year and found good
homes for them.
You remember that DR.. Dugdale, of
New York, once made Il tour of all the pris-
ons, jails, etc, of that state and found a
great many people bearing the same fam
lily name, whose ancestry he traced back
through six generations to a couple of pc
culiar natures. The forefather was lazy,
shiftless fellow, inclined to be criminal,
and the mother was an imbecile. Under
the caption of the History of the .Jukes,
the learned doctor figures that the state of
New York paid out 81, $500 for the care
of the descendants of this couple. So if
Illinois did no more than to properly pro-
tect the POO girls now at Lincoln the eX-
pense would be but an infinite particle
compared with the good accomplished.
I'VE are now paying considerable atten-
ton to the industrial education of the in
mates, and it has been found to be Won
derful factor in the curriculum. The plot
of 400 acres is well cultivated, and we raise
all of the vegetables, etc, necessary for the
home. Only three salaried men are en-
plOyed, the boys and men doing all of the
farm work. Chicago News.

AFTER ruling that such trade publics-
tions as Printers Ink ale not newspapers
entitled to second class postage rates, the
postmaster general rules that a little
leafet called the National Bulletin is a
newspaper, though it is printed on only
one side the paper and is mere proof
sheet; intended for copy" in newspaper
offices. The explanation is simple. The
So called National Bulletin is a cam
paigh sheet, issued by the Republican
National Committee, and sent out to be
clipped from by republican editors with
view to having them harmonic in say
ing no more and no less than the bosses
wish them to say. And this is paid fol
by money contributed by the trust cor
porations to just such slush fund as
Mr.. Wanamaker raised in 1888. So be
is not inconsistent.

Value of Sterilized Milk.

One-fourth of all the deaths in the United
States are of children under one year of
age, and nearly one-half-in round num-
bers 400,000-are of children under five.
In cities this proportion rises during the
warmer part OF the year until one-half of
all the deaths are of babies under twelve
months old. The majority of these chill.
dren die of germ diseases introduced into
the system in the uncooked milk and wa
ter which constitute the sole diet of in.
fants and the principal food of all young
children. The intestinal diseases counted
noncontagious carry off by far the greatest
number.
Experience has proved that these trou-
bles may be modified or in some cases en-
tirely eliminated by the use of germless
food. By feeding the child only milk that
has been sterilized and water that has
been boiled we cease to feed the disease
and begin to nourish the child.-F. F.
