THE MOTHER.

God could not be everywhere; therefore
he made mothers. Jewish Proverb.
man never knows all his mother has
been TO him until it is too late to let her
know that be sees it.-HOwells.
It is the general rule that all superior
men inherit the elements of their SUPERIOR
" from their mothers. -Michelet
The future Of society is in the hands OF
the mothers Ifthe world was lost through
a woman, she alone can save it-Dr. Beau
fort.
Even he who died for ms upon the cross
in the last hour ia the unutterable agony
of death was mindful Of bis mother, as II q
teach us that this holy love should be oul
last worldly thought-the last point OF
earth from which the soul should take is
flight for heaven. Longfellow.
The loss Of mother is always severely
felt. Even though her healtl may inca
pactate her from taking any active part ia
the care of her family, still she is "A sweet
rallying point, around which affection anC
obedience and a thousand tender endeavor'
TO please concentrate, and dreary is the
blank when such point is withdrawn

On her last birthday dozens Of costly pres

IN pathetic speech and told them how
highly she priced the gift they had bought
her with their hard earned money. She
then give them md their wives a holiday
and paid all the expenses. This incident is
truly characteristic Of the philanthropic
baroness unaffected Kindness, simplicity
and true democracy.

Angela Georgaua Burdeti. Coutts az bail
and called ou her the next day When he
called, be spoke OF the splendor Of the dress
the lady had worn the night before, and she
craciously displayed it in the daylight.
Moore gazed with renewed interest on the
gown and jewels Among the latter was
the famous tiara Of Marie Antoinette. lie

Undoubtedly the japanese, when they
read. IL they have not already read, the
edict issued by the Emperor of China on
August 1. will deeply regret having aroused
that ruler. One of the old Dutch governors
of New Amsterdam brought the art Of
fighting by proclamation, to what in his
time, was believed to be the highest per-
lection, but the Emperor Of China has
fairly excelled him. He has commanded
Ii Hung Chang ito give strict orders to
our various armies to hasten with all speed
to root the wojen out of their iairs." and
furthes. has ordered the generals Ito
utterly destroy" the enemy's ships. The
Wojen Is a term Of contempt applied by
the Chinese to the japanese. just as in our
late unpleasantness. the term "Yanks'' was
used in the south and "Johnnies" was used
in the north. In case of disobedience the
Chinese commanders are to recei,e severe
punishment. The emperor undoubtedly re-
CARDS the war as practically over, and the
japanese rooted out Of their laics and de-
stroyed- He has so ordered. 1t was a sad
day for the Wojen when they provoked the
emperor to thus annihilate them by procla-
nation.

All of the pleasant words between Presi-
dei.t Cleveland and President Dole might
have been uttered long ago. Mr.. Cleveland
has virtually acknowledged the error of the
course pursued by his administration in the
Hawaiian matter. by finally doing all that
he was ever asked to do, and that was to
give recognition to a government that was
as properly constituted as any government
ever was. Such is the vigor of the new
Hawaiian government that 1t was likely to
live and grow strong, even If Mr.. Cleveland
had withheld his formal approval But
now. that all differences have been settled,
and, 1t is hoped, forgotten. and all cloud
has been removed from the title of the Ha-
waiian government, IL is expected and be-
lieved that Hawaii will enter upon a career
of prosperity that will show how well justi-
fled it's citizens were in Kidding themselves
of burlesque of royal government and
will prove the worth of democratic insti-
tutions.

When Darius Green made his famous n.y.
ing machine experiment according to the
poetic chron;cler he met with disaster which
smashed his machine, because the attrac-
ton of gravitation was stronger than the
rover of levitation which he was able to
apply. Mr.. Maxim, the inventor, in his
recent experiments. has had similar dis
astrous experience, but In this case though
the machine was wrecked, the inventor was
elated with pleasure and hope rather than
oppressed by humiliation. Mr.. Maxim's
machine was wrecked because the mechan-
zeal conditions were just the reverse of
those that embarrassed Mr.. Green. The
power Of levitation applied was largely in
excess of that exerted by the attraction of
gravitation. In his experiments Mr.. Maxim $
n achine which ran on rails was fet-
tered to the earth by a duplicate system Of
inverted wheels bearing against overhead
or holding down" rails. The machine got

Vermont republicans did not seem to be
in need of an admonition such as Mr.. De-
pew has sent forth from his retreat at
Homburg. The figures of Tuesdays cleo
ton do not indicate that they were mac
tive on account of over-ccnfidence. OF
course, no one ever hoped for democratic
victory there, nor did any one look for a
republican landslide in Arkansas, but the
fact that the dominant party more than
held its own will be regarded as a most
promising augury by republicans. To this,
Of course, tn. democrats will probably claim
Arkansas as a set-off. Concerning these
state elections the populists have nothing
TO say. but they point with pride to the fact

kansas and cutting no figure whatever in
the Vermont fight, they have recently car

to scar into the heavens it tore away a SEQ
ton Of the holding down. rails, and before
1t could be stopped was partially wrecked.
This result while somewhat startling to the
Passengers who will next time make sure
that the machine will not actually attempt
to fly, brought sense Of triumph to the In
ventor. Mr.. Maxim las been working as
practical inventor on the same lines as those
traversed by Prof. Langley in the interest
Of pure science. Prof. Langley has demon
strated the scientific possibility of aerial
navigation; Mr.. Maxim is endeavoring to
make the aeroplane Of practical use. He
wants now to have a vast plain in which to
conduct his new experiments. There seems
to be little doubt that his machine will fly,
but the vexing question is how to get 1t
started in its flight and then how to bring
1t to earth again without smashing 1t and
all the daring investigators who may VEN
ture on the first experimental voyage in the
air.

coroner's jury in Brooklyn has recon-
mended the indictment Of the officers Of
a trolley railroad there for the loss of the
life of a man who was run over and killed
by car The evidence indicated that the
var was not provided with a proper fender.
fhe man rolled under what was called
ender and was crushed by the wheels.
his action of the coroner's jury is re-
'orted TO have given a shock to the trolley
nagnates of Brooklyn. 1t docs not appear
hat the jury took any account of the SEN
sibilities of the officers of the company at
all. but went on unfeelingly tc do what
they believed might compel the trolley COM
pany to adopt proper safety appliances, and
put an end to the destruction of life, which
has been appalling in Brooklyn. Such
recommendation, followed by an indict-
ment, an active prosecution and a convic-
ton might possibly shock all the street
railroad officials of the country into
promptly taking measures to insure 70 the
public the highest possible amount of
safety in the running of rapidly moving
ears through the streets.

1t has been generally believed that the
approaches by which cholera might reach
Washington from a seaboard city would, in
case of danger, be SO well guarded that
the city would be almost absolutely safe
The easiest way for cholera to enter the
city would, according to those who have
studied the subject. be that afforded by the
Potomac river and the city's water supply.
The appearance of cholera anywhere along
the Potomac above Washington would be-
come a matter of more serious concern to
the community than its presence in a sea-
board city. So the report of the sickness
and death at Cumberland of a German
emigrant, supposed by local authorities
there to have cholera. naturally has caused
some anxiety here. 1t is not believed, how
ever, by the experts here that the case
was one of cholera. and after all there is
probably no cause of alarm. The incident
serves. however. to illustrate how cholera
might be brought into Washington through
the water supply, and also to admonish
householders and citizens generally of the
need of having the whole city, the streets
and alleys, the vacant lots and private
premises in such a state of cleanliness
