has not yet been disclosed, All the
members except Secretary Morton
were present at today's meeting,

The Republicans of both Houses
of Congress have notified the Dem
ocrats that they will assist in any
reasonable, safe and non-partizan
relief of the condition of the Gov
ernment. Those who are known as
the sound money Democrats, rep
resenting the administration, have
gone to the leading Republicans in
both Houses, and appealed to them
with arguments of patriotism to
help save the country, Mr.. Spring
er has gone from man to man,
among the Republican leaders of
the House, imploring their assist
ance. The Republicans say any
thing reasonable they will accept,
but two things they suggest-one,
an increase Of revenue, either by an
additional tax on beer, which would
produce $3O,OOO,OOO year, or hor-
izoutal increase Of custom duties Of
five ten, fifteen, or any per cent,
or both; the other an authorization
for the issue of low interest bonds,
TO be used both as a basis of cur
reDcy and to meet any deficiency in
the revenue until there should be
an increase in the receipts (Aye,
there's the rub in the last part of
the proposition). Mr. Dinglcy says
the Democrats tried to make a
party measure where there should
be nothing but patriotic senti-
ments,

A Good Wife.

A good wife Is TO a man wisdom,
strength and courage a bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair,
No condition Is hopeless TO man
where the wife possesses lrmnesS,
decision and economy There Is no
outward proprlety which can coun'
teract Incidence, extravaganza and
folly at home, No spirit can long
endure bad influence, MANS strong,
but his heart h no adamant He
needs a Tranquil mind, and especial.
ly If he Is a man with a whole head,
he needs it8 influence In the conflict
Of life, TO cover his composure,
home must be a place Of peace and
comfort, There his soul renevs It's
strength and goes forth with re
newed yigor TO encounter the labor
and troubles Of life But If at home
he finds no rest, and Is there met
with bad temper, Jealousy and
gloom, assailed with complaints and
censure, hope vanishes and he sinks
into despair

on the other hand that is equally
