days ago:
Eyes, I think that nearly all the impor-
tant public men Of this day talk over their
politics and business with their wives, just
as professional and business men talk of
their affairs at home. l see no reason why
women should not give advice, sympathy
and assistance in political Or governmental
matters as we'll as in private concerns. The
old idea that a woman cannot keep a Sc
cret has been exploded a thousand times
right here in Washington. You would be
surprised if you knew what l know as to
the Importance of the secrets which the
wives of cabinet officers are at this very
time keeping with locked lips.
There is a tremendous disadvantage in
being the wife of a great man. One is
forced to suppress individuality. Now, I
have my opinions about public questions.
l know how to think and all in the habit
Of thinking. l like to talk politics. But,
do you know, l dare not open my mouth
If I say anything at all people at once jump
to the conclusion hat l am simply echoing
the opinions of my husband. The facts
may be that l am giving my opinions, with
which he would not agree at all, but they
would be put upon him, and that would be
! worse than having his real views known.
$50 there is nothing for the wife of the
! high official to do but to keep her opin-
ions to herself. But it is trying, especially
to a woman who has individuality and who
likes to show it and be free and natural.
1t is hard work to hold in all the time. 1t
Is particularly hard to be set down by ones
acquaintance Ms a thoughtless and igno-
I rant oma without views or brains or
character. because Of this necessity OF hold
ing in. These are the penalties we have to
pay for being the wives of men who happen
to occupy important public stations

tuitive methods of measuring public opin-
ion, President Arthur entertained the high
est respect. On these visits to Mrs. Chase,
President Arthur WAS generally accom-
panied by Senator John p. Jones of Neva-
da. The two men found Mrs. Chase IN
even match for them. and both have paid
high tribute to her saRacity.
Kate Chase's Intuition.
- 1t was Mrs. Chase who pointed out to
General Arthur that he would be opposed
for the Republican nomination by Mr..
Blaine. General Arthur did not believe
Mr.. Blaine would enter the field against
him, and claimed to have some assurances
to that effect. But Mrs. Chase old him to
have no confidence in these encourage
ments, for she was sure Mr.. Blaine was
! ready to make the race. Moreover, she ad-
| vised General Arthurto~ withdraw, because
!! Blaine was sure to beat him out Of the nom-
nation. Blaine will be nominated" she
said, "but he will not be elected" AS a
! prophet Mrs. Chase proved to be II great
success, rs General Arthur afterward dis
| covered.
1t was the great regret Of his life that he
| suffered his name to go before the national
convention for the nomination, as he could
not disabuse his mind of the idea that the
party lat IcJeClcu niul dHu NotVi hihi q
lack of confidence. This regret never left
him, and it is known to his intimate friends
that his last years were much embittered
by the thought that the Republican party
had declined to nominate him for a second
term. He always wished he had placed
more confidence in the intuition of Mrs.
| Chase and accepted her advice in this mat
ter. as he had lone in many other emergen-
cies.
President Hayes always made a conf

I the strongest OF women AZ we'll Ms one OF
the sweetest. She had most decided opin'
ions about public affairs, md could ex-
press them in vigorous fashion. Mr.. Hayes
| Thought her even wiser than she was, and
with his great love for her WAS ever eager
to gain her sanction before adopting a new
plan or policy. General Garfield also leaned
much on his wife. She gave him much as

Mrs. Cleveland Cares Little for Politics-

-. A.
TSpecial Correspondence.1

WASHINGTON, Nov. Golf one wants to
gain great confidence for the ability of
woman to keep a secret let him come to
Washington and form the acquaintance Of
some of the ladies of the cabinet or sena-
torial circle. Women not only can keep
secrets, but DO keep them, and there are in
Washington a number of women who can
keep their husbands political secrets bet
ter and tighter than the husbands them
selves. 1t is encouraging to know that a
large majority of the prominent men of
Washington, not only those who are here
now, but those who have been here in the
past, place implicit confidence in the dis
erection of their wives as to the possession
of governmental or political secrets.
President Cleveland is the first president
we have had since Grant who was not i. Che
habit of confiding his secrets to his wife.
Mrs. Cleveland cares very little about poll
tics, and the president does not encourage
her to think of such matters. He takes the
old fashioned view that a woman should
not bother her pretty head about parties
and public questions, and that she should
be content to rule in the domain of the
home.
President Arthur's Adviser.
While Mrs. Harrison was living General
Harrison often talked state matters over
with her. He did not always do so, but as
u rule, when time and opportunity per-
mitted, would discuss with her the princi-
pal plans of his administration. General
Harrison, like all men with keen percep-
tons and good executive tact, saw that a
womRn's Wit and intuition were often more
valuable in matters of statecraft han a
mans logic. He did not hesitate to talk
over with Mrs. Harrison IA great many af-
fairs of state, and her advice was frequent
ly found of value. President Arthur did
not Sonfide state matters to his wife, be-
cause he had no wife while he was in the
White House. But this did not prevent
him seeking the counsel of a woman now
and then. 81.
1t is II bit of inside gossip never before
published that during the three years he
was in the White House General Arthur
occasionally drove out to the suburban
residence of Il famous woman and with her
talked over public questions and discussed
the politics OF the day. This oma was

A funny scene occurred at a Fifth street

thing was put up, and there were several

could not see her. But he was determined
to nave it, and he bid up pretty high.

one of the most coveted in the army,

There were a dozen serious candidates

Captain H. Fl. Ketchum of Che Twenty

pressed by his friends, and 50 was Capt.
Burbank, an artillery officer. There is
no place in the army SO much sought
as the adjutant generals corps, and in
consequence competition was very Sc
