My Dear Sir:-I cannot say ] am much
elated by the victory by the Republican
party, though ! am glad that the Demo-
cratic party has met with defeat. | have
many fears that the victory of
the Republicans may make them even a
little more indifferent about protecting
human rights under the Constitution than
they were when they were in power be-
fore. 1t IS TO the shame of the Republican
party that it could protect the rights of
American citizens everywhere but at
home. 1t made no earnest effort to see
that the Constitution was obeyed in the
Southern States and the ballot box pro
tected. The Fourteenth amendment de
clares that when any state shall de-
prive any of its citizens of the elective
franchise, representation shall be reduced
etc. No attempt has been made to en-
force this provision by the Re
publican party or by any other
yet all swore to support the Constitutions
| have not declared for any particular
candidate for the Republican nomination
in 1896, nor do | see any need of such
declaration at this distance of time. The
man likely to get it will be from some
state which the Republicans think it dif fiji
cult but important to carry. Old Mr.
Availability will as usual decide the ques-
ton as to who the man shall be; still we
have a chance of getting better man
from the Republicans than from the Dem
ocrats or from the Populists. Very truly
yours, Frederick Douglass.

Good Manners are Homemade.

Children must be taught what the
parents wish them to know. Teach
them truthful, gentle ways, and they
will be true and gentle. If boy hears
bad language from his father, he will
repeat it just as certainly as he has a
tongue in his mouth; and if little girl
hears her mother gossip she will gossip
the moment she meets her playmate.
People who devour their food like cattle
must not expect their children to have
nice table manners. Their is nothing
on earth for which one ought to be
more thankful than for having been
brought up in the atmosphere of pure
home. Such a home may be narrow
and even hard; it may be deficient in
material comforts. A man as sturdy as
an oak once said: II was the son of
poor parents, and from my youth up
was Injured to self-denial and hardships;
but [ do not remember ever to have
heard word from the lips of either my
father or mother that was not as it
should be-" Better such recollections
than great Inheritance.

committee will set to work at once.
Any suggestions from members will be
gladly received by them. Lend your
cooperation.

LOVELY WOMEN.

A lovely woman is womanly in all
things, self-sacrifcing, gentle, tender,
true, full of sympathy, ready to listen
and TO do little acts of kindness, as we'll
as great, brave anG decided in the right,
yet yielding in matters of slight impor-
lance. "Home-maker" could be applied
to such a woman, for sense of home
comes with her presence, little children
are attracted to her, old people love her
and even the animals feel her
magnetism. Sisterhood in it's broad
sense is understood by her, and she
appreciates and understands the girls
and women with whom she comes in
touch, even if they are in different
social circles. Hearty, sympathetic,
loving smiles are visible signs of the
lovely or lovable woman, and what
strength, cheer and encouragement
these smile sunbeams develop!
With the above in mind it is delightful
to realize that lovely women are found
everywhere, in hospital wards, in
dreary tenement house surroundings
in crowded school rooms, in the busy
rush of store life, in dressmaking
establishments, in the noisy din OF
factory life, in the wayside country
cottages, in the large city homes. Dress
and surroundings make little difference,
and age does not count; sweetness,
sympathy, love, with tactful common
sense can be common property, and
when they are found, lovely woman
or her influence has been found. Above
| all, homes reveal them, for the loveliest
Of women are the true mothers, tender,
charming, self-sacrifcing. They should
be honored and revered, for so many
follow out in their lives these beautifully
expressed lines:
GA partnership with God is motherhood;
What strength, what purity, what selfcontrol,
What love, what wisdom, should belong to her
Who helps God fashion an immortal soul.'

Girls, Learn to Cook.

4 girl who deliberately marries with
out understanding the art of cooking is
committing almost crime. Especially
is this true of those who cannot employ
efficient cooks. Burnt fingers, sour
bread, scorched roasts, leathery steaks,
wishy-washv coffee and disordered
stomaches are not conclusive to- the
happiness that one imagines the honey
moon should be filed with.
There are SO many reasons, logical
and philosophical, why cooking should
be included in the accomplishment of
young girls that it is useless to enumer-
ate them.
Good cooking is the basis of happiness
health and success in the home life.
One may thoroughly understand art,
music, politics and literature, yet if the
chemistry of loaf of bread has been
neglected the education is sadly incom-
plete, so far as the housewife" is
concerned.
