POLITICAL.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK,

REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
The past week has been compar-
atively quiet one in the political
field, notwithstanding that the con-
gressional elections are but six weeks
away. The active campaigning of
public meetings, speeches and the
usual methods of appealing to party
spirit and stirring up party enthusi-
asm have hardly begun in the country
at large, although well under way
in some few states and congressional
districts. This does not mean, how
ever, that the party leaders are idle.
A vast amount Of preparatory work,
especially In the preparation Of
speeches and other campaign litera-
ture, has been going on steadily for
weeks and months. Many OF the
leaders are taking few weeks of
more or less complete rest after the
long and arduous session of congress
before taking the stump.
One difficulty that has to be faced
in dealing with the tariff question is
the fact that the stock of criticism
and predictions, both friendly and
adverse, regarding the new tariff law
has been pretty well exhausted, while
the law has not yet been in operation
long enough to afford much basis for
con clusions as to its actual effect
upon the business of the country.
Nor is it at all certain that its effect
will become sufficiently apparent
during the remaining weeks of the
campaign to supply much campaign
Nevertheless the tariff and
silver appear likely to continue to be
the chief topics of political debate
till the 9th of November.
1t may be remarked that the A. p.
A. movement is clearly being viewed
with more concern by both the old
parties as the campaign progresses.
The republican state conventions
have generally refrained from any
platform declaration on the subject,
while the democratic conventions
have generally denounced the move
ment. What the association does is
done with such secrecy that it is next
to impossible for outsiders to meas
ure its influence and strength with
any accuracy.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.


Amid a sense of wild excitement
the New York democrats nominated
unanimously for governor Senator
David b. Hill. Senator Hill was
chairman of the convention and pro-
tested against their action.
Daniel N. Lockwood, a Cleveland
man, was named for lieutenant gov
ernor and VIM. j. Gaynor, an anti
snapper, for judge of the court of
appeals.
Whitney declined to run, Flower
refused re nomination and Hill had
also declined repeatedly. The con-
vention forced the nomination upon
the senator and it is expected that
he will accept though he has not yet
formally done SO.
The platform adopted is as follows:
The democratic party OF New York con-
graduates the people of the state upon
the restoration OF business confidence
and the improvement OF industrial condi-
tions which are following the repeal by
democratic congress of its republican
predecessors unsound financial legisla-
tion, driving out our god and threaten
ing a silver standard, worse than war
tariff, unnecessarily adding to the cost OF
living, diminishing federal revenues and
over stimulating favored industries al
the government expenses; profiigate ex'
penditures converting an assuring treas
ury surplus into an alarming deficit
these were the Ill conceived and ill iatee
products OF republican partisanshiI
which brought the country to the verg'

wiped out private fortunes, reduced in

pie. The complete transfer OF the govern

late to avert these terrible evils; it coul
only remove the causes and repair tn
injury.

THE VIRTUE OF CONCEiT.

''The Conc cited Sex" by w. $. Walsh, in
North American Review.
In its beginning conceit or vanity
is virtue, not vice. 1t is the
conscious sense Of noblesse, obliging
man to live up to his noblesse. 1t is
the desire for admiration, keeping
woman up to the plane of pleasing.
In other words, it is most powerful
incentive to right seeming and

ue shades off into vice is nice ques-
ton to determine. But in broad and
general way we can say that when
ever the consciousness of deserving
admiration or the desire for admira-
tion is overweening and overwhelm-
ing; whenever it is a lie or the cause
of lies; whenever it induces the
individual to be offensive, overbear-
ing or ridiculous; whenever it leads
to the sacrifice of princi. lie, honor,
and self respect; whenever it entails
| the comfort of others-then it is a
vice, aud is properly stigmatized by
the unpleasant name of conceit or
vanity. Now, in which sex is the
inordinate love of admiration at
tended with the greater loss of prin.
ciple, truth, and self respect-in
which does it take on the more Of
fensive, overbearing and ridiculous
shape? That the conct it of man is
more overbearing than the vanity OF
woman is self evident. For man is
the stronger sex, and it is the tendency
of ill directed strength to be over
bearing. Undoubtedly this is con
dition of mind that is unpleasant and
vexatious to other minds which are
brought in contact Herewith. But
at least it has the merit of truthful
ness. At least the man believes
in himself. He credits himself will
the qualities upon which he conceit,
himself. The fact may not be fact
to him, however, it is fact. But {

THE PROFESSION OF WIFE.

From Harper's Bazaar.
OF the three distinctively natural
womanly professions, those of wife,
mother, and housewife, that of wife
has been comparatively neglected of
late years. On the other hand,
motherhood and housewifery have
attained the dignity of sciences. The
periodical literature of to-day teens
with special advice and instruction to
those holding these professions.
Now it is submitted that women
have become mothers and house
keepers altogether too much. Young
children must be properly cared for.
and homes must be made and kept
by women. This is undoubtedly
true. But to be complete mother
and housekeeper is not the end and
aim of every woman's existence,
even though she is married, and has
children. Many women have thought
so, and in carrying out their idea
have submerged mind and body,
believing such sacrifice laudable and
necessary.
But in doing 30 they have ignored
and nearly lost sight of a profession
Of equal dignity and importance.

Importance and dignity, since the
"woman" and the "wife" may exist
without either Of the other profess
sions, while the others cannot exist
without these. And the most perfect
specimen of mother and housekeeper
is very weak minded and miserable
specimen unless she has first realized
the full completion of her woman
hood and wifehood.
The filst year or two of married
life has been heretofore thought
sufficient time for a woman to give
to her husband as companion, com
rade, friend-in short, specially to
her profession of wife. After that
she sinks herself more or less com
pletely, according to her disposition
and temperament, into being 6

Each years. effort should be to
exceed last years. sales. The only
sure way to do it is to advertise.
Advertise in busy times because the
iron must be struck when 1t is hot,
and advertise in dull times to heat
the iron. 1t can be done.
II is a safe rule to take advertising
as you would medicine-when you
need it. Advertising is the only
medicine for sick business, but it
must be of good quality, just as
medicine must be good to do good.
1t is poor policy to publish mis- =

men are coming to understand this,
more and more, every day. The time

There is nothing mysterious about
advertising. 1t is an exact science.
You are simply telling people where
they can get certain needed things.
That's all there is of it. If you can
tell them about something they want,
or ought to want-if you have a good
thing to offer--advertising will sell
it. Most any sort of advertising is
useful, but newspaper advertising is
not only the best but it costs less

tion-talk to more people-for less
money, in a newspaper, than in any
other way. Figure it out and see.
