MONDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1895.
At Noon To-Day.

In special correspondence printed on
the ninth page OF this mornings STAN
dard. is given an interesting sketch of
what will happen to-day in Washing
ton. At noon the Fifty-fourth congress
Will organize. 1t will have it's share
Of raw recruits composing a republican
majority. just as the Fifty-third con-
gress organized two years ago with
sweeping democratic majority. We re-
greet that. in their time. the democrats
made such a poor stagger at IL in the
effort to legislate for the people-they
scored a dismal failure. The misfor-
tune is that the political revolution
that swept the country a year ago.
when the members of the Fifty-fourth
congress were chosen. carried down
some excellent men respecting whose
ability to render faithful and intelli-
gent service to the country there could
be no question.
Mr.. Reed, as IL fore-ordained for the
Office, is to be speaker Of the house.
In his speech of Saturday. accepting
the caucus nomination, he outlined in
ten minutes of small talk. the repubh-
can policy for which the country has
prepared itself. 1t is to be a waiting
game-the republican majority will run
along after its own sweet will. leaving
the administration to amuse itself. II
1t can, with recommendations or sug-
gestions to which the house majority
is not likely to pay the slightest heed.
An incident in the presentation of
gavels to Speaker Reed compelled him
to say a noncomittal word. One gavel,
in token of free coinage. was given by
Mr.. Hilborn OF Oakland, who sat in the
Fifty-third congress and who. in the
extra session, was one of the eighteen
republicans in the house who stood up
for silver. The other gavel. typical OF
goldbugism, was presented by Mr.
Foss. He is a new man in congress,
a resident of Chicago, and, like most
of the republicans in the new congress.
an enemy of silver.
Said Mr.. Reed: 81 cannot undertake
TO reconcile the differences of these
gentlemen as to their metallic views"
That was a needless straddle for
starter. Altogether likely 1t is that
Speaker Reed will so run things that
the free coinage question will not come
up during the present session. Presi-
dent Cleveland and the house republi-
can majority are of one heart and
one mind in their opposition to silver;
they will sit down on it hard II 1t
struggles to get into view.

Results OF Hioh LicersA.

Philadelphia reports that the high IL
cense system has solved the LIQUOR
problem In that city as satisfactorily
as 1t is CAPABLE OF solution. When the
high license act went dnto effect in
PHILADELPHIA in 1887. the city contained
nearly 5000 saloons. each paying a
license of only $50. In a year after.
this number was reduced to les than
1.40o-each paying a $500 license. 1t is
said that the workings OF the law were
so wholesome that public sentiment
cheerfully supported an amendment in
1890 1bv which the license was still fur
ther raised to $1,000 for the cities OF
the first and second classes and $500
Tor all others. The number OF saloons
in Philadelphia is now between l.6OO
and 100. but the moral effects have
been even more striking than the de-
crease in the number of dram shops.
In 1887. with the five thousand or more
saloons. the arrests for misdemeanors
and offenses commonly growing out of
drunkenness. are reported to have
been $1,000. When the saloons were
fewer than 1.5OO the arrests for the
same offenses had fallen off 1900.

Who is IL when the postman rings,
Runs quickly for the mail?
And who drink for grandma brings?
Who tells no naughty tale?
My little man.
Who scribbles his dear name all DER
The door posts and the walls?
Who litters all the parlor floor?
Who gets the mostest falls?
Who wheedles Jane, the cook for sweets.
Puddings or lemon pies?
Who at ~ marbles never cheats?
Who has the bluest eye?
My little man.
Who, whiting on a stick one day.
Cut deep his little hand,

And daily to the list adds more,
Is constant still TO me?

He is sturdy. brave. true Carleton.

One of the effects of Rooseveltism in
New York city is from the nature of
things not much commented upon by
the press, though visitors to the city
are much more forcibly struck by 1t
than by the vigorous enforcement Of
the saloon laws. The rigid closing of
houses Of al repute has driven thous-
ands Of fallen women upon the streets.
and there are certain quarters OF the
city, respectable quarters. too. that
fairly swarm with them at night. The
demoralizing influences. particularly
upon young men and boys. are neces-
sarily more powerful than under the
old system. The social evil is one not
easy of solution, but certainly Mr..
Roosevelt's solution is a bad one. There
has been formed society OF young men
whose objects are thus described by the
founder: "Our members will patrol
Broadway and Sixth avenue at night.
in the Twenty-fifth district. and If one
of these women solicits member. he
will appear to assent TO her invitation
and walk with her until he meets a
policeman. and then call upon the Of
ficer to arrest the woman. He will
make the complaint and stand by it,"
This is Parkhurstism run mad. No
young man will engage In such work
who has not the Instincts of a spy
and a sneak. 1t is nasty business all

correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle.
descriptive of the home Of Du Maurier,
at Hampstead Heath. has more than
ordinary interest for the Standards
readers. ITO the right OF the charm
ing library" writes the correspondent,
lies the heath clad in fresh spring
verdure and surrounded with halo
OF historic memories. There were the
green hollows and shady lanes, the
gorse and heather. the sand pits and
weird pine trees. Directly in front I
caught a glimpse Of the road leading
to Highgate. from the highest point
OF which may be seen the Surrey hills.
and whose view oliver Goldsmith, who
loved to walk here, described as finer
than anything he had seen in his wan
derings abroad. To the left. nesting
among the trees. across long undulat-
ing valley. peeped forth the white spire
OF Harrow church, din whose church
yard. when a boy, Byron used to sit
and ponder. Scarcely a stones throw
from the house is the famous old inn
called Jack Straw's Castle, which was
the delight of Hogarth. Dickens and
Washington Irving. But little further
away, though in an opposite direction,
was the house in which Keats lived,
and at the end Of a tree-shaded ave-
nue.. also overlooking the heath, is the
bench where the poet often sat Sob
bling his dying breath into a handker-
chief and glancing parting looks to-
ward the quiet lanscape he had so de-
lighted in. 1t was indeed a location
we'll fitted to inspire the work of both
artist and author. and in none OF the
famous men who have lived amid these
favorable surroundings have these two
qualities been so happily blended as in
the genius of George Du Maurier."
Taking with the reporter. Du Maui
rier said that '"TrilIby" had been
success beyond his most sanguine ex-
pectations. He takes account of the
blame as we'll as of the praise that
has fallen ito the lot of his literary
venture and he Is entertaining when
he says: IT have been fairly inundst-
ed with kind letters from America. but
from some that have received from
Chicago I fear that 4 must have given
mortal offense to some of the good
people there owing to the fact that
Miss Uavinia Hunks came from that
city. So. in the next edition / have
inscribed a note which hope will help
matters a bit. You see, meant no
harm. There are ugly women to meet
everywhere. and one does meet just
some such women, no matter whether
they come from London or Chicago"
The Standard has never been able
to find in Du Mauriers book any fea-
ture that commends II to the good will
of the cultivated public. On the con-
trary. the work seems to us to be es-
sentially bad in moral and in Zpirit; In
sentiment 1t is indecent. But 1t is hav-
ing its run-and II can be said that the
company which appeared in this city
last Saturday and which is billed for
Butte this week puts before the public
a good idea of Du Maurier's creation.

services Of private parties. Seamen
shipping under the new regulations

LOVED AT SIGHT.
Walter n. Grimm and Miss Garner, Of
Mogs Point, ElOpe and Are
Married.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 27.-The usual
quiet social circles of Norwalk, o.,
near here, were agitated to-day by the
announcement that Walter II. Griffin,
son OF Attorney A. B. Griffin, and a
Miss Avon l.. Garner, Of Moss Point,
Miss, had eloped. They left the city
quietly Thursday, and this morning a
telegram was received announcing
that they had been married at
Windsor, Ont, and would return to
the city Friday night.
The story Of the love and marriage
of the young couple is not a new one.
Miss Garner is a young woman OF
many accomplishments and frequent
" visits in Norwalk with her mother,
Mrs. +. G.. Robinson, their home being
In Moss Point, Miss. While there a
year ago Miss Avon met MI. Griffin
and II was a cas- OF love on sight. A
betrOthal followed. Then the mother
of the young woman appeared on the
scene and forbade the marriage, say.
ing that her daughter was entirely too
young to think Of matrim0ny. Miss
Avon was sent to the Cincinnati Con-
s~ervatory OF Music and the engage.
ment was broken of and the ring re.
turned. A few days ago Miss Garner
came to Norwalk on a visit. The
lovers met and the old spark was fan
ned into a fame. Thursday morning
Miss Garner left her mother 0sten'
sibly to visit friends, and the el0pe'
ment followed. Their whereabouts
was not known until the Telegram
was received announcing their mar
rIage. The mother Of the bride wal
almost distracted when she received
the news, but she has decided to make
the best Of tho matter and will re
ceiyc the young couple with open arm
and will bestow upon them her for
