NEPoTISM IN THE SENATE.

The heads of departments at Washing ton have been consulting as to the proper method of applying the bosom of reform to the clerkships. Lists are to be made for the purpose of ascertaining the na- tionality, residence and family relations of the clerks. It is suspected that cer- tain families have too many feeders at the public crib, and it is necessary to divide up things.
 While the administration is at it, it might be good plan to investigate the nepotism that vegetates so rankly in the United States senate. The family issue was never so grandly illustrated as now. Vice-President Stevenson's first official act was to appoint his son private secre- tary at salary of $7 per day, which runs on whether congress is in session or not Senator Cockrell, chairman of the con- mittee on appropriations, appointed, his son, not yet out of college, assistant clerk of the committee at salary of 2,2O0 a year, and in order that the young mans
 
 appointed the brother-in-law of senator as an assistant at a salary of $1, ,44O. James P. Voorhees,, son of Senator Voor- hees, is clerk of the committee on finance at salary of $2,5OO. He is not suffi- ciently skilled in stenography to do his work, and clerk is provided to help him at $1O per day. Senator Pugh, of Ala bama, appointed one of his sons clerk of the committee on judiciary at salary of $2, 200, and secured the appointment of an other son as assistant prosecuting at torney for the District of Columbia James K. Jones, Jr., son of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is clerk of the com mittee on Indian affairs. Senator Mor- gan's son has @ senate committee clerk ship at a salary of $2,2OO. The sons of Senators Vance and Ransom, of North Carolina, are similarly provided for, and Senator George, of Mississippi lacking an available son, appointed his grandson to 8 $2,200 clerkship. Other senators whose sons or nephews are fixed" with $2.200 salaries are Pasco of Florida, Cor don of Georgia, Blackburn of Kentucky, Butler of South Carolina and Mills of Texas. Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, has a twelve-year-old son in the position of committee messenger with a salary of LAO. Senator Peffer, the Kansas pop ulist, is particularly nepotistic. His daughter, Nellie, is assistant clerk of the examining committee, and his son is mes senger of the same committee, each draw ing salary of $1,440. In addition to this, many of the senators employ their wives and daughters as private secreta- ries, and the government pays them $G per day for their services

The Modern Home.

The Modern Home.
 Mrs. Merrill B. Gates, wife of the pres- ident of Amherst college, has in the Con- gregationalist an article of more than 8 column on ''The Modern Home." After showing how false to every womanly in- stinct was the idea of Plato's republic, that the mothers are to be allowed to "come to the common fold to nourish the children, but officers are to take the great est care that no mother recognizes her own child," Mrs. Gates urges that ''to make the very most and the very best of each individual home is the new ideal of the gospel"
 But the question at once suggests itself, how can women make the best of every home so long as they are made and kept the political equals of felons in the state prison, lunatics in the asylum, and idiots everywhere? The stigma of a disfran- chised class attaches to them This being grouped with imbecle and worthless classes, cheapens women in the public thought and in the public feeling. Their opinion in the home and out of it stands for less. See to-day great political elec- tions, state and national, going on, and not woman even thought of as voter, except in Wyoming. The meanest voter looks upon the noblest woman as his po- lltical inferior. Forty years ago, even fugitive slave, utterly unable to read ol write, declared he "would not be taught by woman" He felt too much above her. How can women make the most of their homes, or anything else, while their very position keeps them so handicapped? That there are many noble women and lovely homes, even under these circum- stances, only shows what might be done if there were everywhere

You MAY HAVE SHOT MY Boz" AN INCIDENT IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER GET- TYsBURG.-My father had been summon ed from neighboring state, and soon af- ter he came an incident occurred that aptly illustrates the peculiar phases of this war. He became very much inter- ested in the confederate soldier who was lying in my tent, and was careful to di- vide any luxury he got for me with him. The man, though apparently grateful, said little, and I think half suspected that my father was not aware that he be- longed to the confederate army. One day, however, the old gentleman had pre- pared couple of milk punches, and while "Johnnie" was partaking of his, he sud- denly asked him to what regiment he be- longed. The patient hesitated for mo- ment, and then answered: "The -th Mississippi"
 ''The -th Mississippi" echoed the good samaritan, as he staggered and near ly fell to the ground. "Why," said he, 'you may be the very man who shot my boy!" and the tears sprang to his eyes at the thought. In moment more he had recovered his equanimity, and taking the wounded confederate by the hand, said: "Never mind, my boy. pardon me for having such an unwelcome thought. l am sure you believed you were doing your duty, whatever you did"
 l was quite proud that, from this time on until all the confederates were removed from among the union troops and placed in camp by themselves, my father show ed the man even more attention than he did me, so anxious was he to demonstrate that he made no difference because he might have ''shot his ."--From "Per- sonGI Recollections of 7too Visits to Gettys- 6ury," 6y 4.

A New York assemblyman helped pass law which, among other things, provid- ed a fine of $25 for shooting pickerel. Then he went home, and few days ago was caught shooting pickerel, defied the officer to arrest him, was arrested, and was fined $40 for 6pickerel he had killed in this way. He paid up like a man and remarked that his statutes were all good laws and he should not test any more of them.

"I wish you would tell mo the meaning of an expression l have noticed in the newspapers" said Frenchman who was studying the English language.
 "Very we'll" replied the American. What expression do you refer toP"
 "One of the newspapers said there was "a nigger in the wood pile.'"
 "Oh, that's an idiom. It means there is a snake in the grass"
 "Nigger in the wood pile means there's snake in the grass ?" said the inquirer with puzzled air.
 "Well, both the expressions are synony- nous with the milk in the cocoanut' and 'an ax to grind Understand ?"
 But the foreigner scratched his head, and walked away with an expression of despair on his countenance.

Great are statistics! They demon- strated in 1890 that Australia was the richest country per capita of its inhabit- ants on the globe. But the great finan- cial collapse of 1898 in that continent shows her colonies to have been making the greatest display on the least capital of any people to-day. The colonial gov ernments themselves borrowed with reck- less extravagance for shadowy public inn provements that would not have been profitable for 50 years. With this exam pie before them private individuals bor- rowed in the same way right and left. The rich capitalists of England wanted good investments for their money. High interest was promised on the Australian investments. People who do not pay what they borrow can afford to promise the highest rate of interest. So matters went on merrily till the creditors in Great Britain began to want their money back. Then the cardhouse toppled over. All there was of it was credit. The Australian colonies had incurred debts that would have been almost a staggering load for nation with three times their population and financial resources. Americans ex- tend their sympathy to the unfortunate investors, with assurances of distinguish ed consideration. At the same time we remind them once more that the credit of the United States government and of most of its individual citizens is as solid as the rock of ages. We are at the old stand. We are sorry they did not invest their money with us, but we cannot help it now.

The Rockville Journal makes good point:
 "It is almost amusing to read the Will limantic papers story of the relay race. All the praise, all the nice things are re- served for the Thread City Cyclers.' And why, we'd like to know2
 "The Rockville wheelmen made twelve miles over the very worst roads and up the hilliest stretches in the line; the Will limantics travelled over roads that are so smooth that they are referred to as sand papered.'
 "The Rockville boys rode their twelve miles in three relays1the Willimantics had four relays for the twelve and one- half miles they covered. The Rockville boys, surmounting the obstacles offered by sandy roads and hill climbing, gained TWO minutes on their relays; the Willi- mantics, with smooth roads and four re- lays, made twelve and one-half miles and gained four minutes.
 If the Willimantics are worthy of praise, and they certainly are, why is not the feat accomplished by Buchanan and his associates entitled to unstinted praise |?
 ''It is not great way to Willimantic, and we believe that Rockville riders are known in the thread city, where they have won some very hot races. Let Williman- tics pet riders be praised, but don't let all other cyclers be ignored. Certainly not, while Buchanan and Snow and Kite are in the field, with Noble and Silcox and Hoy at their heels."

/" A bill has been introduced in

"a preference over the man who

the poor man will have no chance
whatever to purchase the good
land, and it is very, very evi-
dent fact that his chances for the
inferior lands will be equally as
slim--providing the man with
money chooses to make it SO. If
congress cannot devise some bet
