WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The Part Taken by Congress in LegaIizins
Them.

Them.
Il is not known by many people how
little legislation has ever taken place in
congress on the subject of weights and
measures. Although the constitution
gives congress authority to establish a
system OF weights and measures and
coinage, and although congress early
gave its attention to the establishment
of system of coinage, believed to be
as perfect as any now existing yet It
has never established a system of
weights and measures The only units
of weight and measure which have act
ually received the official sanction of
congress by the enactment of law are
the Troy pound, brought to this coun-
try by Albert Gallatin during the add
ministration of John Quincy Adams.
which was specifically designated By
congress as the unit for the control Of
the coinage OF the United States. and
the metric units of length and mass. the
use of which was declared to be legal
in this country by congress in 1866.
The nearly uniform custom prevail
ing throughout the country in the use
of weights and measures has grown
out OF the action of congress more
than fifty years ago, b. which the Of
fee of weights and measures was au-
thorized to send to every state of the
union accurate copies OF the standards
then in use by the treasury department.
These standards were generally adopt
ed by the various states to which they
were sent, and thus practical uniform
ity was secured The Office of weights
and measures has charge of the pre5er-
vation OF the actual standards in use
by the treasury department. and is thus
the final and only court of appeal IN
all questions arising in reference to
weights and measures It's functions
include the standardizing of weights
and measures OF length and capacity
in use in the customs department of the
United States, the construction and
standardizing Of weights and measures
for new states as they are admitted To
the Union, and in general way such
service as similar Offices or bureaus
render in other countries J. W.

I =
Party-Defeat the One and You InJure the
other.
For the last year or two very little
has been said in the public press about
the old soldiers. They have always
been prominent factor in affairs and
are vet. but since the alliance craze
begun to rage attention has been
! diverted. The alliance people tried to
bring them into disrepute and scoffed
and sneered and derided the republican
party and its press for talking 50
much for and about the old soldiers.
It's speakers and its claimed that
the black slaves were freed. but the
act of freeing them enslaved millions
of whites by means of the laws en-
acted by the republican party. Many
other insane theories and statements
of like character were made and it took
time to cure the contagion which had
even affected and taken hold of some
old soldiers themselves. If the alliance
doctrine were true then the glory of the
old soldier was gone and his career was
a shame to his country. Instead of a
patriot to whom the nation and the
world owed debt it could never pay,
he was guilty of a crime for which he
could never receive sufficient punish
ment. The old soldier was insulted,
but il required time TO demonstrate
that he had not suffered in vain. and
that he fought to save this. the land Of
freedom. which is a land of freedom in
fact as well "a in name. and it will be
remembered how they ridiculed the idea
a. they delivered themselves OF treason

this country.
The old ex-soldiers of our country
form 4 strata of our body polite that is
safe and solid as a usual thing. for they
appreciate that union which cost So
much; but by ovcr-intluence of deluded,
ignorant and misguided youth many OF
them. too, went astray two years ago.
Since then things have changed. The
bubble has burst and its hollowness is
exposed. The only thing that keeps it
before the people is the press as
led by few fellows who hope to make
something out of it politically or finan-
cially. Some want Office and others

trust and similar blood-sucliing COM
bines. The leaders have not only proven
to be rank demagogues. but viciously
dishonest as well. 1t only indicates that
when the republican party is defeated
the old soldier is without friend in
power. If the republican party could
be disintegrated and diSbanded the old
soldier would be forgotten. The fact
that the old soldier has not been talked
of 50 much is conclusive proof of the
fact that he naturally belongs to the
republican party and suffers sympa-
thetically with it. Its injury is his in
jury; its ascendancy is his glory, his
pride and his support. The republican
party in Kansas will be placed upon
the plane of permanent and positive
power this year, and with it the old
soldier will be reinstated in public
gratitude and admiraticn.-Hutchin

cLEvELANo's POOR SHOWING.
Killed by His Attitude on the Silver
Question.

A well-known Omaha democrat late
ly said at a democratic gathering that
he had received a letter from Mr..
Cleveland in which the latter said tina,
| the plumbers committed by the pres
ent democratic congress have never
been exceeded" That was followed a
few days later by an interview with
Mr.. Cleveland, then duck-shooting in
Maryland, in which the ex-president
said that tariff reform must be the
issue of the party if it was to go into a
winning fight He said further that
while his idea had been that the house
should pass a general tariff bill yet he
was willing to defer to those who were
on the ground II they thought the
Springer single bill policy was the best,
then let that be pursued
Any seeming Inconsistency between
the remark in the letter and this mild
Endorsement of the house tariff policy
is explained by a statement of the
Omaha democrat to the effect that
what Mr. Cleveland wrote about the
blunders of the present congress" re-
lated to its course concerning the free
coinage question and to nothing else
to its vote which indicated that an
overwhelming majority of its members
were in favor of the Bland bill.
Il appears that Mr.. Cleveland has
not changed his ideas on the silver
question, even at a moment when his
party is committing itself irrevocably
to free coinage. He and be alone
among the democratic presidential
candidates has opinions which do not
vary with the varying sentiment Of his
party. He and he alone has the cour-
age TO tell just wher, he stands on the
silver question, while Hill, Palmer and
other aspirants are afraid to commit
themselves, and are waiting TO see
which way the eat will jump. Each OF
them, when the time comes for him 70
show his hand, will vote in such man
ner as will, he thinks. please the

Mr. Cleveland's chances of nOmi-
nation. which seemed so good year
ago. appear to have clean gone Even
if Senator Hill and Tammany had no
deprived him of the New York del
egates, his persistent opposition to
the free silver madness would have
disposed of him Even Dir. Watt-rsOn
has deserted him because he sees his
prospects are blighted- But he stands
much higher in the public estimation
than his tinid rivals. men without con-
victions or courage, who do not ask

THE WOMAN OF THE WORLD.
She CultIvates the Graces OF Presence as
Well as Those OF the Spirit.

She CultIyates the Graces OF Presence as
Well as Those OF the Spirit.
Between the woman of the world
and the worldly woman there is 4 wide
and very distinctive difference. The
one is fitted to influence, to fill recog-
/ Iized place in society, to carry with
her certain significance of presence
The other,.so far as she is anything, is
demoraliziug in her influence.
But the tendency of many people to
undervalue all that goes to make for
ceremonial elegance, for charm and
beauty of presence and surroundings
for tact and knowledge OF the world. is
tendency that would retard rather
than advance human progress. While
the graces OF tie spirit should be- in
deed. the first consideration, the true
idealist will hold that grace of pres
ence, that elegance OF person and cos
tune should be their outer correspond
ence. One hears a great deal about ex-
travagance in dress. and certainly ex-
elusive devotion to fashion and frippery
is not undeserving of the scorn in
which it is held by thoughtful people:
yet none the less is it one of the duties
of life to dress as well as means and
circumstances will permit. 1t is part
of the duty of life to be attractive. to
keep in touch with all the ceremonial
ment of spirit and goodness of heart
shall translate themselves visibly in
dress and manner and surroundings
It is this result which the woman of
the world achieves. She gives one the
sense of completeness in life. She car
ries thought into action.
The woman of the world has the ad-
vantage of serenity and poise. She is
not easily annoyed by trifes Without
being in any sense arrogant (which is
the vulgar attribute of the worldly
woman. but not a quality of the wom-
an OF the world)-without being AFRO
CANT or self-assertive. she is vet reason
ably secure of her own right of way.
She has so many resources within her
self. life is so rich and full and ever re-
newing, that she is not easily disap-
pointed by the incidents or accidents
of the hour. II one thing must be
postponed or given up, there are plenty
of others to take his place. She goes
on her way in life with certain con-
structive ability that makes everything
about her fall into kind of divine or
der. AS Dr. Holmes has so we'll said,
1t is a woman's business to please.
Il don't say that it is not her business
to vote" he continues but I do say
that q woman who does not please is a
false note in the harmonies of nature.
She may not have youth. or beauty,
but she must have something in her
voice or expression or both which
makes you feel better disposed toward
your race to look at or listen to-
The woman who IS "well-dressed
enough 70 be pleased with herself, but
not so resplendent as to be show or
sensation" who has the insight and
social tact OF social experience and del
icate intuition, is the true woman of

memorable and stamp it with the
beauty of vital interchange of thought
and expression Boston Budget
