SIS, 900 to furnish the building, but
its expenditure was strung along
for four years. At the beginning
of the first administration of Jeffer-
son and each of the administrations
of Madison $14, 900 was appropriate
ed, but in 1914, at the taking of
Washington the mansion was burn
ed by the British soldiers. A heavy
rain saved it from entire destruc-
ton, and in 1917, $2O,90O was ex-
pended in its reconstruction. The
red sandstone was painted white to
remove the trace of the fire, and the
building has since been known as
the white house in consequence.
In Jackson's first term the front
Ionic portico was added at a cost of
$4,000, and when Harrison came
in the foreign mahogany furniture
was replaced with American at a
cost of $4,000. During Lincoln's
first term $4,000 was laid out in
repairs. In 1865 the house was
thoroughly overhauled and refur-
nished at all expense of $76, 900, and
two years later $4,000 was spent
for similar purposes. In Grants
first term $135, 900 and in his second
$4,000 was spent, in Hayes 500
600, and during the Garfeld-Arthur
administration $4,000. In the
last mentioned sum is included the
cost of re6tting the mansion with
modern conveniences and substitute
ing jeweled glass screen in the
vestibule for former wooden par
tition. During Cleveland's term
there was an expenditure of $74, 900,
and during Harrison's one of $780,
0O0-the average annual outlay of
recent years having been $4,000.
The presidents family has at it's
disposal five bedrooms, a dining
room, sitting room, and the red
room for parlor, the east room,
the green room, the blue room, and
the state dining room being reserv-
ed by tradition for public purposes.
Mrs. Harrison urged that wings
should be added to the building for
the comfort of her successors. It
has also been proposed that another
building should be erected near at
hand for the presidents family and
that the white house should be
given up to official use.

The White House,

1t is said that the white house at
Washington has cost $2,332,O0
to the present time. To start with,
says the Buffalo Courier, the state
Of Virginia contributed $4,000
and the state of Maryland $4,000
to build it. A prize of $500 had
been offered for the finest design,
and this was awarded to a young
Charleston Irishman named James
Hoban, who followed closely the
duke of Leinster's palace at Dublin.
The plan contemplated a three-story
building, but congress refused to
appropriate money for anything SO
extravagant, and the District COM
missioners cut down the design to
one for two stories and basement,
with a length of ITO feet and a
depth of 90 feet. Washington
finally induced congress to add to
the sums contributed by Maryland
and Virginia enough to finish the
work Of construction. The corner
stone was laid in the presence Of
President Washington, Oct. 13,
1892, and President John Adams
took his family into it in November,
1900, though Mrs. Adams complain
ed Of the discomforts to which she
was subjected in it's unfinished con-
dition. Congress had appropriated

In well-to-do circles there is some
remnant of the old notion that girls
should not be expected to work fol
their own support, and there it is
we find the largest proportion OF

will not be long, we think, before
the practical spirit of our era will
have swept that notion from its
ancient place, and the girls whose
advantages of self-culture should be
equalled by their opportunities fol-
the exercise of their talents and ac-
quirements will, like their brothers
demand suitable employment.

DEMOCRATIC State Convention.

The Democrats OF Michigan will meet
i'm state convention at the Auditorium, in
the City of Detroit, on Tuesday, Febru-
ary 90, at 12 o'clock noon, for the purpose

II is hard to find adequate ex-
preston for the feeling every
American Democrat must have for
the Senators who have voted to
support despotism in Russia at the
expense of our own precedents of
liberty and humanity; but perhaps
nothing better was to have been ex-
pected from a body in which so
many millionaires who have had
the money to spare for bribery have
bought seats as representatives of
sovereign States of the American
Union.

Women in Labor's Arena.

In these days when so many
women, from choice of circum-
stances, are destined to be self-sup-
porting, the old chivalric nonsense
about women's degradation in being
compelled to labor for her own
bread is almost forgotten, and we
are beginning to regard her with
admiration proportional to the
capability she exhibits in the field
she has chosen for the employment
of her powers.
Society is in fact becoming more
and more convinced of the fact that
women differ in mental organiza-
ton as much as men, and that many
are better fitted for the outer,
active life of the world than for the
inner, quiet duties of the home, and
any attempt to force upon all the
same rule of life would not only be
and unreasonable, but pro-
ductive of harm to the community.
1t has been demonstrated that the
feminine brain is as well qualified
for certain work as the masculine;
while many occupations pursued by
men seem peculiarly fitted for
women.
Let these be fully opened to them.

Mixed.

Times have been exciting in Kan
sas during the past week, caused by
the unsettled condition of the
Kansas Legislature. The Populist
party had elected the Governor and
a majority of the Senate. The con-
troll of the House of Representatives
was claimed by two parties
Populist and Republican. Each
party had elected a Speaker and
other officers, and each claimed to
be the lawful body. The Governor
and Senate refused to recognize the
Republican House. After several
weeks of stormy sessions, the Re-
publicans tried to arrest the clerk
of the Populist House. The Pop
ulist protected him, and then
actual warfare commenced between
the parties. The Republicans took
possession of the Legislative hall.
The Governor called out the State
troops and ordered them to drive
out the Republicans. As the
principal officers of the State troops
were Republicans, they refused to
obey the Governors orders. Pro-
visional troops were then organized
of Populists. In the meantime
hundreds of armed Republicans and
Populists assembled at the capital
of Kansas, ready to assist their par
ties. Then the sheriff, who is a
Republican, swore in 1000 men as
deputy Sheriffs. There was every
indication that a bloody warfare
would ensue, but the lesson that
self government has taught Ameri-
cans was not forgotten, and both
parties finally decided to leave the
disputed question, as to which is the
lawful House, to the Supreme Court
The troops were sent home and the
deputy sheriffs discharged. The Re-
publicans retain possession of the
Legislative hall, and the Populists
hold their meeting in another room.
Both parties have declared an ar
mistic, until the Supreme Judges
have rendered decision. During
the struggle for the possession Of
the Legislative hall the Populists
shut of the heat from the room and
tried to prevent provisions from be-
ing taken to the Republicans. The
imprisoned Legislators managed to
smuggle coffee and sandwiches to
their quarters, but they had both
a cold and hungry time. The re-
fusal Of the State troops to obey the
Governors orders gave the victory
to the Republicans.

A BETRAYAL of Liberty.

Senator Turpie Of Indiana is ell
titled to the thanks of all friends Of
human freedom for his opposition
to the Russian treaty. 1t appears
that behind the locked doors Of
their executive session a majority
of the Senators of the United States
have done what they would not
have dared do in open session-have
voted to set the people of the United
States to acting as slave catchers
for the unspeakable despot who, as
Gear Of Russia, claims divine right
to Cypress and keep in subsection
millions of his betters.
The resolution offered by Senator
Turpie gives them full opportunity
to declare themselves openly, but
they will never do it. Men who
are capable of voting to surrender
political refurge who has taken
sanctuary with us; men who would
surrender to the knout and the
scaffold, which alone uphold the
Russian despotism, those who have
loved liberty for the sake Of human
ityz-such men are as cowardly in
evading their responsibility as they
are tyrannical when secrecy gives
them the feeling Of responsibility.
They are better friends Of the
Gear than they are Of America or
of it's institutions. They have OPP
posed themselves to the presidents
Of more than a hundred years, and
they have done all they could to
make love of liberty crime.
They have voted that we must
surrender to Russia fugitives who
may be demanded by it OH trumped
up charges, or on its suspicion of
completely in attempts on the life
Of the Car when they are merely
enemies of his despotism. But we
have never yet denied the right Of
asylum to political fugitives and we
never will. The American admin
istration that allows servants Of the
American people to be used Is slave
catchers for the worst despot in
Europe will be overwhelmed by the

Country Cemeteries.

Benjamin Franklin once said that he
could determine the character OF com
munity by the condition Of It's graveyard
Could his spirit make an audible criticism
on many of our country cemeteries OF to-
day, 1t would make the hearts In many
community tingle with shame. While II
most Of the larger cities and towns the
beautiful park-like resting places are IL
keeping with the progress OF the nine
teenth century, yet it is regretable thai
many of the smaller towns and villages
should be content with neglected grave
yards. The places Gin which the fore
fathers of the hamlet Sleep" instead OF
being cared for with that love and re-
spect that all people should have for the
resting places of their dead, are In many
instances given no care whatever, weeds
and underbrush being allowed to reign
supreme; the dilapidated fences offering
no protection from cattle, and the whole
forming the saddest possible commentary
on the people Of the community.
A medium that has done much towards
disseminating valuable information on the
care and management Of cemeteries, Is
the Modern Cemetery. an illustrated
monthly, published at Chicago, Ill. Its
contributors are landscape artists and
superintendent of the finest cemeteries
in America, whose articles on this very
important subject should be read by all
who are interested in having well kept
cemeteries.
