a woman who has great Influence
over young lnen is the young married
woman who has been a belle among
them and who still has them calling at
her home. She is the one who knows
what they really are. and if She is i, good
woman she can do Il wonderful amount
of good to these young men who admire
her and prize her friendship. knowing
they cannot keep it unless worthy Of it.
Her happiness and her husband 5 nrove
the best Of object lessons. And what
sweet praise it is to her to hear that one
of these young men has remarked.
Mrs. foungwife is a superb woman,
she keeps us straight and does us ever so
much good" 1t is the sweetest bit of
compliment woman could desire; just
as it is the keenest anguish to know that
some one we love has done wrong for
our sake: or that we have led him to
wrongdoing. And from that, dear
women, let us all pray to be saved

Smuggling Painting Out of Italy.

If a usually well informed correspond
ent is correct, this is how the famous
picture.of Caesar Borgia, sold for 500 900
francs to the Rothschild family by
Prince Borghese, was sent out of Rome.
A coating of wax was laid over the ia
nous Caesar. and an artist painted the
portrait of Pope Leo XIII on the wax.
1t was then dispatched to its Partisan
destination, the coating of wax carefully
peeled off, and the famous Caesar now
ornaments the Rothschild's great gal
lery of masterpieces.-Pau Mall Ga

The Rurali>t prints an extract from
the speech delivered by Hon. c, III,
Sheldon. before the republican state
convention two years ago, iii which the
speaker makes some rrtinent illusions
about men with great jaw capacity
coming to this country from Canada
and ,ryinglo run things, and then. in the
nature of a deadly parallel, prints an
extract from the republican platform
which invites people from foreign lands
to come here to secure homes and be-
comes law-abiding citizens. The Rn-
rails, evidently thinks it has made Il ten
strike, but those who give the words OF
our next governor and the plank in the
republican platform due thought will
see that they hit the mark and are all
right. The less we have of political har-
lots from Canada or any other foreign
country. who come here TO overturn
American institutions. the better the
country will be- while all foreign born
citizens who come here with the in,en-
ton of adjusting themselves to Amcri-
can ways should BE- welcomed and so

houn received majority of the votes
for vice president in the electoral col
legc. In 1886, however, when Martin
NanBuren was elected president, John
son. who was candidate for vice-preSi-
dent on the same ticket, fell Just one
short of the necessary majority, and the
result was that for the first aud only time
in the history of the country the election
for vice president was thrown into the
senate and then johnson was duly
elected.
As will be seen, the former custom of
presidential electors was to exercise
large discretionary powers in casting
their votes, they being at liberty to vote
for the head of the ticket and to bolt the
candidate for vice president if they pre-
fcrrcd. Nowadays, however. by an un-
written law and under the sterner re.
quircmen,s of partisan loyalty, tie pres
idential clector casts his vote invariably
for both the president and
vice president selected by his party con.
ven,ion. If. therefore, the election of
president is thrown into the house of
representatives it is certain that the
election of vice president will be thrown
into the senate. and, in this event, for
tho first time in the history of the ma
ton. the upper and lower house OF con-
oress will exercise their electoral func-
lions simultaneously. and also for the

An Ubiquitous Tax.

In an editorial article in the St.
Louis Repubiic Congressman Wilson of
West Virginia says:
The revenue from duties Oh wool
and on WOODEN goods during the last
fiscal year was over $40, 900, 900, which
was more than one-fifth part of our
entire customs revenue, and more than
one-ninth part of our entire revenue
from taxation. There is only one sub
ject of taxation that is more fruitful,
and that is spirituous liquors."
Such taxation is the grossest posi-
BILE violation of sound principles. 1t
is a most onerous tax on one of the
prime necessities of life, tax which
bears most heavily on the poor, and
from which no man, woman or child
can escape. By the manner Of its i'm
position it compels the people to pay
not only the $40, 900 which goes to
the Government, but much greater
sum which goes to the domestic pro-
ducers of wooden goods who are pro
tected" in advancing prices by the
heavy taxes of the Mckinley law

raising an abundance of everything on

cry of hard times will no longer be

means of relief. There is no relief for
the farmer outside of the Democratic
party and himself. Let him first put

duty. and the Democratic party, which
has always been the party of the peo-
