A Woman of National RenOwn.

DR.. Mary Walker is plucky little
body She still persists in wearing the
mans garb, which she must have worn,
we guess, for nearly 40 years, if not for
half century. She was young when she
first wore it, but though not as young
now as she then was she wears it proud
ly as ever. When last seen out west, her
tall, glossy tile sat over her short hair,
tinged with the melancholy gray; her
yellow spotted necktie looked neat; her
black cloth trousers and coat were
perfect fit; her shoes were low. and she
tripped along lightly, though not as of
yore.
When she came out in this attire ever
so long ago, she was ridiculed and carl
catured, but she did not give it up.
When she walked out, she was laughed
at by women and men, but she stuck to
it. When she stood on the platform, she
was guyed by the audience, but she did
not care for that. She had made up her
mind on the subject, and that was the
end of it. According to Chicago pa
per, her face has now an expression of
grim determination, and thus far it is -
reflex of her soul.
She does not belong to the Turkish
school of Chautauqua dress reformers
which raised an uproar last year, or to
the Bloomer school, or to the divided
skirt school. She has her own ideas, and
all the winds that blow cannot change
them. DR.. Mary Walker is an interest
ing lady, very persistent reformer, a
gentle member of her sex, woman de-
serving of respect Notwithstanding her
whim. Strange that her example has
had 80 little influence York Sun

MISCELLANY.
" Mother Has Had Her Day."

II mother would listen to me, dears
She would freshen that faded gown.
She would sometimes take an hours rest
And sometimes a trip to town
And it shouldn't he all for the children,
The fun and cheer and play;
With the patient droop on the tired mouth,
And the u" Mother has had her day"
True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the house
AS busy ever bee.
When she rocked you all to sleep, dears.
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out and did without,
And lived by the golden rule.
And so your turn has come, dears
Her hair is growing white,
And her eyes are gaining the faraway look
That peers beyond the light.
One of these days in the morning
Mother will not be here;
She will fade away into silence,
The mother so true and dear.
Then what will you do in the daylight
And what in the cleaning DIM
And father, tired, lonesome, then,
Pray, what will you do for him2
If you want to keep your mother,
You must make her rest to-day;
Must give her a share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And, II mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet,
And ruffies as white MS milk.
And she'd let you do the trottng,
While she sat still in her chair;
That mother should have 1t hard all through,
1t strikes me isn't fair.

A TYPE OF A PARTY

John Sherman is described, in the Wash
ing'on dispatches which report his late
speech in the senate, as being "infrm and
showing the evidence Of advancing decay. -"
Such seeming was not out Of place
with the occasion and the deIiyerance. In
that speech Sherman was the repentant
simmer. Ia the shadow of his passing, this
incarnation Of republican ideas and policies
recants. But "the ruling passion strong in
death leads him to the hypocricy of at
tempting to prove that, although his sin be
upon his own head. its curse should fall
upon the head Of those who, when the
crime OF the Sherman bill was first pro-
posed, raised voice and hand against it.
John Sherman has become pathetic
figure in our public life. During the years
OF his mental and physical activity he was
the evil genius in our finances. II is a
fitting termination Of such career as his
that its closing years should find him
seeking to undo the evil Of bis own making.
II Is confession OF crime; a cry in the
darkness; a voice OF remorse.
Let-us not misiudge him. He was the
chief among sinners, but be was not alone
among the money changers in the temple.
Without the republican party Sherman
would have been impotent to work the
wrongs and injuries upon the peop.e which
he has committed In The name Of rprubli-
cznism
Z In the name Of that party and with it
consent and support he first began tn
contraction Of the currency for the benef
Of European creditors. In its name and
with its consent and support he cast oat the
silver dollar in 1873. In lie name and with
its consent and support he suspended silver
coinage in 1891. In its name and with ifs
consent and support he degraded silver to
commodity to be paid for in gold. There
Is no crime Of which Sherman is guilty Of
which the republican party Is not equally
guilty.
In every scheme Of legal robbery he has
proposed; in every ShylOck plan for tie
robbery If the debtor by the creditor he has
invented; In every artifee conceived by him
for destroying real and creating artificial
values Of money. the republican party has
been partner. 1t has shared in the spo;I
II has defended him against just retriba-
ton. And with him IT now approacbfs In
confessional.
Sherman has grown 4 multi millionaire
on senator's salary. Bat other repubIi-
cans have grown nth With him. 1t has
been with that party a carnival Of iobbery
and robbery cut Of which the lIca have
grown richer and the poor poorer. The
world never before saw 50 many rasczls TN

is financial ard fiscal policies has Eet Ia
high places. 1t has gruund the faces Of tae
