Mothers so often make the mistake
of shielding (?) their daughters from
work and care, thinking it will be time
enough for them to learn when they are
in their own homes. This is such a
mistake, for when they are IN their own
homes and all alone, it is too much for
them to undertake all at once. How
much better 1t IS for them to take up
first one part OF the work and then
another, while they are with their
mothers, and have her to direct them
and show them which is the easiest and
best way 10 do the work There aIsrE

girls should be taught everything pertain

grandmothers' time. Then an old and

daughter at marriage and it was not

They know nothing about banks. They
capuot distinguish between a we'll.

note. When these State-bank notes

count In little village a branch bank
Of an Eastern Virginia bank was
established in order that the mother
bank might put out its cir
culating notos where they would not and
could not be presented for redemption.
This branch bank might be based on q
solid foundation; but all the same the
people OF the village did not know the
fact, and it's notes were. like the rest,
always little below par. Counterfeits
were so common that depositor never
knew when he went to bank how many
OF his notes would be thrown out In a
word. the operation OF tho banking sys-
tens which we're the only systems
known IN this country before the war
occurred between the States, ought to
serve to warn oil good citizens of the
danger of uprooting the present excel
lent national banking system.

Observation-Disclosures.

Some OF the papers are engaged in a
most uniustiGable attempt 10 alarm the
public rs to the condition OF things in
the Senate touching the bill to repeal
tho SIBERIAN silver law. Instead OF &C.
cepting the action Of the House OF Rep
resentntives as a sure and reliable indica'
ton that the Senate will, in time, come
to q vote upon that bill and pass it, they
predict that dire disasters will soon
overtake us if the Senate does not
hasten its work; whereas the fact is that
if the public knew that the Senate would
concur in the Houses action no harm
could or would result from failure to
hurry up the slow-moving Senate.
II another panic shall be threatened,
or rather the present one threaten to
continue, these mischief-makers will be
the cause of il. Day after day the pa
pers wo speak of do all they can to bring
about a worse state OF things than that
which now exists.
No doubt some senators are indisposed
to hurry up the repeal of the SHERMAN
bill. Like Mr.. SHERMAN they don't
believe that bill caused the panic, and
they are willing to face their constitu-
ents on that point.

House OF Representatives Is 10 be elected:
AMI il tue Democrats in the present
Congress neglect to perform the i'm
portant duty Of repeating oil Federal
election laws, they will have missed nm
opportunity which will never come to
them again for doing service to their
party as well as their country.

10 regain control Of the government.

ing to his own will and without the least
regard for tho will OF the members Of tho
House.
Whilst the Senate is discussing the
bill to repeal the SHERMAN silver law,
the House OF Representatives might pass
q bill to repeal all Federal election laws.
Why not? Can anybody give good
reason for allowing those laws longer to
cumber the nations statute-booS? The

Objectionable.
Let the good work of repeal go on.
Repeal the SHERMAN act. Repeal the

Repeal the Federal Election
Laws,

The southern people cannot but be
pleased to note that several bills looking
to repeal Of the existing Federal cleo
ton laws have already been introduced
into one or the other house of Congress.
The indications are favorable to the con-
signment Of those laws to tue tomb OF the
Capulets. They are as Objectionable as
any which could be devised even by a
Republican House OF Representatives.
There may not seem to be much con-
nection between the presence of uncon-
stitutional election laws in the Federal
Code and the bill to repeal the SHERMAN
silver law; yet there is more connection
between them than good Democrats
would like to see continued. The pre-.
vailing hard times are to be used by the
Republicans to alarm the people and
make them believe that the prosperity
OF the country depends upon the restor-
alton OF the Republican party to power.
Wherever in the United States Re-
publican speech is made, it is very apt
to try to make the next elections turn
upon the question whether the Demo
Gratis or the Republicans are responsible
for the present panic, and the Republi-
can orators seem with one consent to
have determined to make sll the local
contests IN the several States which will
hold elections in November next depend
upon whether the voters can DO made to
believe that the Democratic party is or
is not responsible for the panic OF 1893
Q panic which had no foundation in
anything that the Democrats could pos
sibly have done, but occurring under the
operation OF Republieao laws.
III by any non-fortuitous combination
OF circumstances tho people should
align themselves with the Republican
party In the several States in which coI-
tests are now pending. they would Ia all
probability do the same thing next yoar.
The local contests OF 1898 would become
national contests in 1894. wnen . new

Married Revival.

This weeks Religious Herald says:
Rev. w. II. Jolly has just returned home
from Providence church. Gloucester coun-
ty where he has been assisting Rev. r. \.
Folkes in a meeting. He was with Broth
er Folkes only six days, and 100 persons
professed faith In Christ. This is a won
derful work of grace for a coun-
try church. With two or three
exceptions the converts were adults
and many OF them young men. A notice
able incident OF the meeting was the mar
rage OF a young couple just before the
preaching hour, who at the conclusion OF
the ceremony took seats on the front
bench and remained until the services
were over They returned next night, pro-
fessed faith in Christ and were received
for Baptism. This produced no excite
ment. and the meeting went on as though
nothing unusual had occurred.

The Presidents Health.

Is Mr.. CLEyKLAND's life in danger

" is he simply a sufferer from ordinary,
old-iAshionel, everyday, commonplace
trouble from diseased teeth? These are
the questions of the hour and which
have nearly sidetracked the currency

Swallowed such On important event even
as the Nicaragua Canal Company going
into the hands Of a receiver.
What is the precise state OF the Presl-
dents health wo DO not know; but till
further evidence is produced we shall
believe that he is the victim Of an i'll
advised attempt to secure secrecy where
secrecy was not needed and not posi-
BE. and of having been IN the hands OF a
dental surgeon, who is strongly inclined
TO advertise that fact at the expense oi
the President and the public.
Had those teeth Of the Presidents been
extracted without the slightest attempt at
concoalment of that fact. ten TO one We
should never have heard this hue and
cry which now comes up from so many
quarters 50 many Republican quarter;

lieye that he reluctantly yielded to the

end under circumstances which have
magnfcd its consequence. Had he
gone into a dentists Office and had the
thing which has been done done openly,
the odds are that only passing notice
would have been taken of it. Now we
have the whole country aroused by II
and deep concern is felt lest Mr.. CLEvE'
land should prove to have such disease
as that which killed General GRANT and
Emperor TRrDFRlCK. Nor will "reassur.
ing statements reassure everybody.
Many people viii discount" them, and
will continue to believe that the Presi-
dent is suffering from incipient cancer
AL of this apprehension comes from
Rn irrcpresslble desire on the part OF Dr.
FERDINAND HAsBRoUCK, OF New York
TO exploit himself. The other surgeons
the men who did the really important
work-have kept their tongues still, but
he has wagged his most industriously
He was no doubt the "leaky" individual
through whom the first information az
to the operation reached the public
This operation, by the way, Was perform
ell on July LIST, whilst Mr. CLEyELANI
was on board Mr.. BENEDICT's yacht ther
lying IN the harbor Of the city OF New
York.
1t is not possible for the President t.
open his mouth to all the world to show
doubters that he is in healthy condition
but he has done the next best thing-ht

Whnt Reed Says.

Ex.Speaker REED says that the cause
Of the present depression in financial
circles is really the return Of Democ-
racy to power and the consequent dis
trust OF the business world regarding the
tariff"
The answer to this charge should be
either an immediate revision OF the
MCKINLEY tariff or declaration in the
form of resolution that the customs
duties will not be disturbed for year
or two.
As the SHERMAN law is held TO be one
of the causes of depression in bust
nsss, and therefore will have to be re-
pealed, so as we say elsewhere the fear
Of various changes in the tariff is used
by the Republicans as a means of dis
possessing the Democrats of the gov
eminent.
The Democrats must keep their eyes
open.
