Persian Women.

Persian women are said TO be un-
usually bright and shrwd, as well as
very beautiful, with dark, flashing
eyes, and gentle, graceful manners.
They are naturally actiye-minded,
with strongly poetic temperament,
and a liking for art, letters, and
politirs when they can get at them.
The Persian woman has greater power
with her men folk than any other
Oriental woman, aud In most affairs
of importance her influence may be
distinctly traced. She is permitted
TO enter trades on her own account,
to possess independent property, to
appear as a witness in courts, ana Is
responsible for her own debts, and In
divorce has right to her children
In theory, then, the fair Persian is

insecure, owing 10 the insecurity OF

not during the camp-meeting, but 'until he,

Never relax your efforts until the crystal
raindrops Of immaculate righteousness fall
sensibly upon your soul The only limit put

REPUBLICANs AND SENATOR HILL.

No sensible Republican will be alarmed
because the Cleveland organs are declaring
that the Republican press is applauding
Senator Hill for the speech which he de-
livered on Monday, the sensible Repub-
lican knows that neither Republican pa
per nor spokesman is going over to the De-
mocracy of David B. Hill. The situation is
just here: The mass of Republicans are
thoroughly convinced that either the Wilson
or the Voorhees, bill will result in a gen.
eral lowering of wages in this country. in
all employments where wages and salaries
are paid. to a figure much nearer the Eu-
ropean level than now prevails. In the judg-
ment of Republicans this means a lower
standard of living for those who find en-
ployment at reduced wages. and idleness
for those who will have lost their employ
ment by the transfer OF the industries in
which they are engaged to Europe, as an
ticipated by the Wilson bill advocates To
compel people who have enjoyed the COM
forts and privileges which high wages and
of living. with fewer comforts and still
fewer privileges, will be sure TO prove
source of Generalization and gradual degra-
dation. The mass of Republicans view this
as an unparalleled calamity. more disas-
trous in it's consequences than a general
war. So viewing it. they will sustain their
representatives in making any possible COM
binations to defeat the tariff measures be-
fore Congress. If Senator Hill is in accord
with the Republican purpose to defeat these
measures, 1t is not only proper. but a duty
to sustain him and court his assistance
He may oppose the Wilson and the Voor-
hees bill on different lines than Republic
ans would choose. but so long as there is
reason to believe that II IS his purpose to
vote against these calamity-fraught bills
not to recognize his assistance would be IN
wise in the extreme
Some one may suggest that 'ft is not
good politics" The Journal Cannot say as
carry the country with larger maiorities
If the Wilson bill should become a law, but
there are things more important than Re-
publican majorties. Among those things
are the prosperity and the well-being of the
mass OF the American people II the Wilson
bin should be enacted Republicans who
have made the SUBJECT a study believe that
the present general conditions will continue
until reduction of wages would put Amer
| lean wage earnerS on the European plane
! That done. the favorable conditions of 1892
could not be ATTAINED for years. even If a
