Those Armenians who have fed to Con

they would be more or less under the pro

The Minority Renominates officers OF SD
Congress-An Empty Honor.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Democratic
caucus, which met in the hall of the House
Of Representatives at 3 O'Clock, Saturday,

Speaker; William Kerr, clerk of the
House; Mr.. Snow, sergeant-at arms Mr..
Hurt, doorkeeper; Mr.. Bagley, chaplain,
and Mr.. Ross, postmaster were rcnomi-
mated and received the complimentary

The retirement of Judge Holman of In
diana, the late chairman of the Democratic

Virginia, its secretary made it necessary
to fill these positions. Judge Culberson
of Texas, was elected permanent chair
man of the caucus Mcssrs Rusk of Mary
land, and Robertson Of Louisiana, were
chosen permanent secretaries.
The principal contest in the caucus was
over the election of several special EN-

for these places was very great. In the
absence of Mr.. Culberson, Mr. Sayers of
Texas the temporary chairman, was
directed to present the names of the nomi-
nees to the House, Monday.
After the adjournment of the House.

A BABY'S DRESS

PORTLAND, Dec. THE people of Pride's
Corner, near this city, still think that a
babe has been murdered there. Today,
about 60 people turned cut and searched
the swamp, where a woman was seen to
disappear, last Monday, running very
swiftly. The search was rewarded by
finding a baby's white dress. which has
caused much comment and has set
theorles at work again to account for the
lack of evidence of actual crime.
The baby's dress has on it three faint
spots which are believed to be blood, but
OF which no one can tell the true char
acter, except perhaps skilled chemist
The people think that further search will
reveal the baby's body

 Another straadle or a declaration that can even be misunderstood or successfully misrepresented, as the Secretary puts it, means that doubt and distrust will prevail for four years longer in our finances. The hard times of the past few years have been caused largely by this fear of a debasement of our money, and to delay a settlement Of the issue means to prolong financial depression. Capitalists will not loan 100-eent dollar for investment when they are likely to be paid back in short time with Q 50zcent dollar The interests of the country demand that the issue be settled, and every delegate to the coming National Conventions should be instructed either for a gold or a silver standard-the real issue at stake.

Discontinued Children.

Parents sometimes complain that their
boys and girls had rather spend their even.
ings anywhere else than at home and want
advice as to the best method of curing
such an evil. When we read such a COM
plant, it always occurs to us that the chief
trouble may lie in the fact that they do
not make home q. pleasant place for their
children. Is it cheerful at the hearth and
at the table? Does the father strive tc
make homo bright and happy, or is he
silent, moody and unsociable? Are his
children furnished with proper supply Of
books, papers, magazines and such other
means of amusement and Improvement as
their natures require? Does the mother
make friends and confidants of her daugh
tiers, or does she merely dole out to them
food and clothing? Do the parents, in
short, sympathize in the joys and griefs
the hopes and fears of their children, or
do they ignore all that is most essential to
the happiness and genial culture of child
hood? Whenever parents find that their
