Reforming a Man.

believe that each one of us is con-
nected with divinity by spark of light
within. In some it is mere speck of
light; in others it is a steady flame in
Others burning fire, and the physical
nature is mere CRATE which contains
this fire. Perhaps the man within
whom the spark is very small and
feeble may conceive mad infatuation
for some woman who believes she can
reform him through this love. But if
he is merely infatuated with woman
in whom the divine principle is feeble
his reformation is liable to be on an
unstable foundation.
The man who has felt the divine
within the woman appealing to his bet
ter nature, who has felt the holy spark
within his soul famed into larger
flame by he influence, who has felt her
spiritual influence above her physical
charms, that man may be reformed
and stay reformed although his past
may have been worse than that of
the prodigal son. And yet l think that
the spiritual nature which enabled
him to respond to this woman's love
could have saved him by its own up
reaching force perhaps. The woman
was merely mouthpiece for the di.
vine to call to the divinity within him
and enable him it to gain the ascen-
dency.-EllaWheeler Wilcox in Ladies
Home Journal.

Squealing For Justice.

A few mornings ago, shortly after
the adjournment of the Jefferson ma
ket court, man came in and wanted
a warrant.
''You can't get it now," explained
one of the officers. "The judge is gone
for the day"
"Where can find him?"
you'll have to wait until tomor-
row morning to transact any business
of that sort"
"Wait until tomorrow !" he ex-
claimed, wiping the perspiration from
his forehead and gazing at the empty
bench as if he'd like to jump aboard
of it and issue the warrant himself.
"There amt no use Of getting ex
cited" continued the officer. you
don't expect to be murdered, do you ?
And nobody amt going to burn your
house down, guesss.
"Well, you keep on guessing" re.
piled the exasperated citizen, "but if
you have woman next door hanging

The Yearly Income of a President.

There is a general idea that the Presi-
dents salary of S5O,000 a year is all
that he receives, and that, when COM
pared with the salaries paid the.sover-
eigns of Europe, the sum is not enough.
This is mistake. In addition to his
salary, the President reveives $36,06
to pay the salaries of his clerks and
subordinates. His private secretary
has $3,250 his assistant secretary, S2,-
ESQ; the stenographer gets 81 800; each
of five messengers, 81 200; The stewart,
81 800; each of the two doorkeepers,
1900; while other employees are paid
in proportion down to the man who
takes care of the fires, who receives
1864.
In addition $4,000 are allowed for
incidentals, such as stationery and
carpets; S12,5O0 for repairs and re-
furnishing; 80, 500 for fuel; $4,000 for
the green house, and $4,000 for the
stable, gas and other incidentals. In
all the President and his house costs
the coontry more than S125,O0O. San

Where the Blame Lies.

1t is not unimportant-as the thous-
ands of honest American workmen are
deprived, by the shutting down of the
mills. of a chance to earn their bread,
and as the whole nation finds business
contracted by money stringency caused
solely by the threat of industrial revo-
lution-to try to fix the responsibility.
With whom does it rest? Did any one
person set in motion the train of cir
cumstances which has produced these
lamentable results? Let us see.
During his first term Mr.. Cleveland
began the movement which ended in
his reelection upon free trade plat.
form. Up to that time the Democratic
party, having strong inclinations to
free trade, but fearing the patriotic
instincts of the American people, had
usually shuffled with the question.
But Mr.. Cleveland in 1887 sent to Con-
gress message which was devoted
wholly to denunciation of the protec-
tive system. This attack upon home
industry rallied the free traders, and
finally the Democratic party, to the
British system Of which Mr.. Cleveland
made himself the champion. In the
same strain, in 1888, Mr.. Cleveland
wrote his letter of acceptance. He ex-
pressed his purpose through the instru-
mentality of tariff reform to cheaper
''the cost of the necessaries of life, "
and to increase the purchasing power
of the workingman's wages" The
cheapening process has been performed,
but where, also! are the wages of the
workingmanY
Following Mr.. Cleveland's example,
the entire Democratic Press of the
country began to denounce as plunder-
ers of the people the men who conduct
our great industries. Day after day
for years past these journals have en-.
deavored to arouse evil passions and
to pervert public opinion to the view
that manufacturers are public enemies,
who have enriched themselves by
filching the substance Of the people
with the help of the Federal Govern

ment. Last year the Democratic plat.
form described the Mckinley tariff law
as "the eliminating atrocity of class
legislation" Thus the control of the
machinery of the Government, with
unlimited power to break down and
destroy, passed into the hands of a
man and party, both of whom had
Tor years been waging war upon vast
industries, in which hundreds of mil.
lions of capital were in vested and which
could not hope to continue successfully
when the influence of theirown Cavern.
ment should be welded directly against
them Under such conditions what
could have happened but that pros.
tration should befall? What could be
expected by manufacturer from n
President who, over and over again,
had denounced him as a robber. and
from Congress elect to root out and
10 destroy system of robbery 1t
would have been folly for such man
to go on with his business operations
precisely as if no revolution had oc-
Cured and as if he had the assurance
ne possessed under Republican rule
that he would not be molested.
Silver purchases were made month
by month when Mr.. Cleveland sent TO
Congress his first incendiary message
in 1887. They were still made when he
wrote his letter to acceptance in 1888.
They were made when he accepted the
nomination last year upon revolution
airy platform but still the business of
the nation prospered. But no sooner
had he and his party come into office,
with positive ability to make good their
threats, then great wave of depression
swept over the land. 1t is impossible
not to preceive that the whole cause of
the trouble was the success of the DEM
ocratic party, or to deny that the man
who gave the impetus to the forces of
destruction was Grover Cleveland, to
whose rash utterances and aggressive
promotion of the free trade cause is to
be attributed, for more than to any
other influence, the calamities which
have overtaken a nation which one
year ago had high prosperity.-New
York Press.

ceives its name Roodeye. In the mu-
scum tower is found many interesting
relics of stone and coins of Roman
days. In Phoenix from which King
Charles | watched his forces suffer de-
feat in l647, looked from the same
window from which he saw the battle
on Rowton Moor. That was fatal
day for England Monarchy and the
triumph of Cromwell is we'll condemned
by them even today. am inclined to
entertain deep sympathy with them,
though from adifferent standpoint and
sentiment, when in cathedral after

Peterboro and Durham see their icon
oclastic work. They tore away every
vestige of Romanism they could find
every cross and shine and image was
destroyed. They even fed their horses

their mark of hated everywhere. But
Charles defeat was in one sense great
blessing, and my admiration for CORN
well has always been great.
When Professionalism is versus Rom an
ism. English and Scotch blood is
aroused. Strange that yesterdays pro-
ceedings in Parliment should be upon
that one thing, and may result in the
overthrow of Home Rule, my own eyes
have been open on that bill recently,
and l see much cause for Protestant
anxiety. Next to the walls for interest
comes the streets and houses, they are
curious. The carriage drive is way
below the level of the kitchens over
which passengers walk in galleries,
which the inhabitants call rows"
These rows are like archades and are
practically porches to the houses built
over the kitchens. They make the
streets very picturesque. Some of the
houses have Scripture legends upon
their beams, one has 'In God is my
Strength" another called Providence
House bears a wonderful record. Its
inscription is Gods Providence is
mine inheritence 1852" In after years
a terrible plague came, every house
was stricken save this one. Truly God s
Providence was to its inmates rich
inheritance. How long will it take His
own dear people to learn that TRUTH
The mysterious ways in which He
moves in every life, are rich with
mercies. In short while whirl away
to London, thence up to Wales thence
to Isle of Man and the last of the
month to New York, which after all
has no equal, to America which is
chief in every way.

The Scottish American Monument,

The dedication of a monument at
Edinburgh, Scotland, to the Scottish
American soldiers who fell on the I'm
ion side in the late war, is a rem ark a BILE
and significant tribute on the part of
foreign nation to brave defenders of the
American Republic. The Scottish ele,
ment has always been valuable one
in American nationality, and the blood
of the race of Bruce and Wallace has
flowed in the veins of some of Ameri-
cas- greatest statesmen and soldiers,
with history that breathes undying
devotion to freedom, and whose every
page is record of heroism, it is not
strange that Scottish Americans should
have been so strongly attached to the
Union cause in the great struggle be-
tween the free North and the slave
holding aristocracy of the South.
These men were not tmercenaries. They
fought for cause in which they be-
lieved, and of the justice of which they
were intelligently convinced. They did
their duty faithfully and many of them
yielded up their lives on the battlefield.
This is enough for the American people
to know. The taunt of being mer-
cenaries, so often flung against the for
eign born soldiers of the Union, falls
with ill grace form the lips of those
who either fought against the Union
or shirked fighting altogether. The
British and Irish, the Germans and
other foreigners in the national armies
who faithfully fulfilled the terms of
their enlistment, are as much deserving
the gratitude of the country as if they
had been native born. The sacrifice
of the alien soldier dying in the cause
of the Republic was none the less heroic
because his last thoughts may have
been of boyhood s home and mother
beyond the seas. All honor, therefore,
to those who have erected the monu.
ment to Scottish American soldiers at
Edinburgh. The land where Bannock.
burn was fought, and where the Coven.
anters made their noble stand for free
dom to worship God, is fitting site for
an enduring testimonial to the brave
nen of Scotland who died that a govern.
ment of the people might live, and
that monument could have on better
from than statue of the martyred
Lincoln.

indifference, pickering, crankism, Gu
pidity and incapacityl Two weeks in
which not one word of encouragement
to those who are holding out, hoping
against hope, has come from the party
in power! In short time the savings
banks will be called upon TO pay out
their deposits unless public confidence
is restored. The Bank Note bill would
help in this direction if Immediately
enacted into law. A timely declara-
tion on the tariff question would help
to turn the tide and relieve the people.
While obstinacy and ignorance reign
at Washington there is little hope of
either.
Words, even when earnest and patri-
otto, seem of little avail in penetrating
Democratic opaqueness. There are
rumors that an army of $4,000 of the
unemployed is on the way to Washing.
ton. There is no danger of this physi.
cal demonstration. Unlike Congress
men, the unemployed have no national
Treasury to tap for mileage and ex-
penses. There is only one army that
will call the present Congress, to ac-
count, and that is the mighty army of
American voters. Unfortunately
year or more must elapse before that
army takes the field again. Unless the
next two weeks develop some patriotic
action in Congress, the party in power
and its responsible leaders will hear
from that army in the Congressional
elections of 1894 in no unmistakabl
terms. The tide that swept the Demo
cratic party in will carry it out again
in 1895, and the youngest of its states.

THEIR OWN LAWYERS.
FrolicsOme School Girls Draw Up Their
Own Wills.

There is never any telling what half
dozen boarding school girls may take
it into their pretty heads to do. Their
teachers have been surprised so often
that they are generally prepared for
the most startling developments, but
one of them in st. Louis was rather
amazed than usual the other evening
when she found "the young ladies'
solemnly engaged in making wills.
Attached to these documents were ex-
plicit instructions for the conduct of
their respective funerals. The girls
were quite in earnest about the matter.
They were all pretty well provided
with this worlds goods and they had
disposed of everything down to the
smallest item.
Miss B, the teacher, who is young
and the object of a vast amount
schoolgirl devotion, was decidedly
curious to know what ideas these sw eet
young things have about funerals and
kindred subjects. After much urging
one of the girls consented to reveal
what she had written. She first dis
posed of the bulk of her property, Civ
ing one third to her older sister and
two thirds to her younger because, as
she said, the older one had a husband
to take care of her. In case the younger
one married, however, she was to
promptly even up. Some minor le-
gacies followed, among them being
sundry gifts to her teachers and school
mates.
"Give Miss B." 80 ran the docu.
ment, my diamond cross, my umbrella
with the Dresden handle and my watch.
