Here is bit of E. j. Edwards superb
common sense that every woman ought to
read "A woman who deals only in super

the fact that her judgment is subordinate

loses its power and significance. The same
words are brought into use to describe a

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1894.
In Their Right Mind.

In the national canvass of 1892 the
people were promised an era Of unex-
ampled prosperity, and immunity from
all hardshirs entaied upon the human
race by the tragic episode in the Garden
OF Elem, If they would vote the ~.
tional democratic ticket aud elect its
candidates for the legislative and exec
utive offices. There was then no lack
of prosperity in the land Ga The con
trary, the country throu yhout ali it's bo
ders, was basking in the light and
warmth Oh an industrial and commercial
activity hitherto unattaiued. There
was plenty of work for all, at good
wage', and iudustry's millions haA full
stomachs and were well clad. Repubi
cans, on the stum1 and through the
press, cautioned he populace again-t
lending a too creduou3 ear to democ-
raoy's seductive words. But it was all
In vain. The republican party, und r
whose policy and administration tue
country had reached the golden era of
prosperous development, was uncere
moniously bundled out of all the places
of power, and the people began a chase
for the ends of the rainbow that span e
ned the skies for the bags of god the
democratic orators had told them were
hanging there.
We believe there was some mistake,
and that some disappointing MT ensued.
Not only were the bags of gold not
found, bat the rainbow itself vanishe T.
The roseate hues that were lighting the
horizon of every laboring man gave
place to colors Of inky b'ackness. The
men who had been taken in by demo-
cratic assurances entered upon winter
of bitter discomfort, aud their brethren
Of better political judgment and com.
mon sense were dragged along with
them in'o those inhospitable regions.
Disastrous experience taught the
misguided men who made democratic
success possible two years ago the error
Of their political ways, aud indicated
the wisdom of the counsels of the re-
publicaus. The unprecedented triumph
of republicanism in the recent cleo
tions shows, more forcbly than word,
can express it, that the fatal debauch
of 1892 his ended, and that the free
men of America are again in their right
mind politically. The regretab thing
about this matter is that the election OF
November 6 can only call halt in the
further execution of the destructive
policy of the party in power. Another
gener election, and another period of
parliamentary strife, must succeed be-
fore complete return can be made to
that fatal parting of the ways which led
to financial and commercial disaster,
with its long train of suffering and
misery. The lesson is severe enough
to last the American people for gen.
GRAFTON at least, and, if republicans are
wise, should perpetuate their ascen-
dency in national affairs.

The shocking revelations of the Lexow

Lexow committee in the state OF New Jer-

congressman will go to Washington after
the fourth Of next March from New Jersey,
the state which alone OF all northern con-
stituencies remained democratic throughout
the civil war. Outside of the metropolis
there was no Lexow committee in the state
OF New York, but, excepting the five demo-
Gratis elected here by small ma jorites, New
York has chosen only republicans for con-
gress. There was no Lexow committee in
Ohio. where four democratic congress men
are elected out of twenty-one and where
the state goes republican by 10000. There
was no Lexow committee in Pennsylvania,
