remarkable gathering held in Chicago.
The meetings were held under the au-
spices OF the Worlds Congress auxiliary.

even the expectations of their organiz-

Of the world, representing the beat
achievements of their sex in every
branch OF educational, social and reli-

POLITICAL

The official vote for governor OF Texas
counted in joint session of the legislature, was
reported as follows Culbeison, Democrat
207, 1877; Nugent, Populist, 152,73l: W. X.
MaKemson, Republican, $500; Schmidt, Lily
White Republican, 5025; Dunn, Prohibitionist,
2196; scattering, 1916. The Democratic can
didate was in minority by 1882 votes.
The Memphis Avalanche, Democrat, declares
that the Caldwell bill, providing for an inves-
tigation of the election in Tennessee before the
counting of the official vote, which has been
introduced in the legislature is can instru-
ment in the hands OF a legislative majority for
counting out and swindling the man who was
elected on the face of the returns"
zone OF the most hopeful features of the agi-
tation for reform in the consular service is the
growth of public interest in the question:" says
the Cincinnati Tribune, Republican,; land
there is no doubt that the business men of our
country are beginning to realize what disad-
vantage they are at in the struggle for the
conquest of the markets OF the world. while
our consular service is conducted on its pres
ent basis"
No address was delivered by Joshua H. Mar
vii on the occasion of his Inauguration as
governor of Delaware Philadelphia Record
correspondent says: "Governor Marvil is un-
able to read, or even to write further than to
trace the lines necessary to mechanically form
later to the two houses of the general assem-
bly,, after the manner of an executive mes
sage"
The St. Paul Pioneer Press tRep) pays the
following tribute to Senator Carey. who has
been repudiated by the Wyoming legislature
because he dared to vote for honest money in
the senate, and would not buy denomination
by sacrificing his principles: Senator Carey
has honor d the Republican party by his
course in public life, as he honors manhood
by the reason of his departure from it. The
Republican party should avail itself Of the
first chance to honor him."
ut is notifying, but not inexplicable, that
there should be talk among Republican legis-
lators at Albany of squelchlng the Lexow in
vestigation," says the Buffalo Express, Kepub-
lican, which ads: "The practical politicians
must be given to understand that the Repub-
lcan party is pledged. not only to reform the
government of New York but to punish
every man who has been responsible for max
ing it a sink OF corruption To that end every
department must be turned inside out, and the
power of removal must be put into the hands
of Mayor Strong"

executions occurred in the north and 81 in the
SOUTH In some states capital punishment is
not permitted, and that fact may account in
part for the comparatively small showing for
Justice As the matter stands at present the
murderer has about one chance in "A of being
hanged or electrocuted while each person in
the country has one chance in 6,653 of being
murdered.
The record shows that lynchings during the
year were 100, or nearly so per cent more than
the legal executions The list of victims include
1874 negroes and So white persons, The south
is respons ible for 1876 of these crimes, and the
north for "a. Georgia heads the list with 20,
Mississippi is credited with 10 and Tennessee
and Alabama with Is each. Bad as is this
showing, it was exceeded by 10 in 1898.
Suicides also show an Increase the total be-
ing 4912, against 4436 for 1898 and $3.50 for
1892. They are classified according to alleged
causes thus:
Dependency zee 1899 Ill health. :. -. 27o
Unknown. ........1a1O Domestic infelic-
Insane. ........... 457 ity.............. 241
Liquor. ........... 25l Disap'oint d love 232
Business losses 1872
Tho means employed included Pistols,
1923; poisons, 1904; hanging, 100; drowning,
1913; throat cutting, 347; starvation, 8, and
dynamite, L. Dependency takes the lead
among the causes, but doubtless many classed
under that head really belong in some OF the
other divisions, other causes giving rise to the
respondent condition which prompted the
self-murder.
Any number Of conclu sions might be drawn
from these statistics and without doubt they
will be made the basis of many tn eories and
suggestions as to remedies. The first and most
reasonable conclusion is that in order to reduce
the number of murders the chances for ade-
quate punishment must be increased.

These figures show that 1894 was year OF
bad blood as we'll as OF bad business. Possibly
the great increase was due in part to the small
chance which the murderer stands OF losing
his life as the penalty for his crime. The legal
executions during the year were only 132. or
six more than for the previous year. Alabama
led with Is executions and Texas and Missouri

there was great increase in murders during
1894. The total was $500, against 6olo Tor

sweetened by looping off those
foibles.
When man takes hold of the
plough, he should plough to the
end OF the furrOw. When he
makes a resolution to reform, he
should grit his teeth, and strain
every nerve to carry out such reso-
lutions in all honesty Of purpose. A
man should have manhood enough
to deal honesty with himself.
Still we should have infinite
pity and charity for the poor souls,
who make good resolutions and
then break them. For ought we
know they may be the accursed
victims Of heridity, or long con-
tinued bad habits may have I'm.
nerved and shattered their will
power.
The beautiful and pathitic lines
OF Burns should inspire us with
pity and charity for those who
break the good resolutions they
form:
"Who made the heart, tbs He alone
Decidedly can try us;
He knows each chord its various
tone;
Each spring It's various bias;
Then at the balance lets be mute,
He never can adjust 1T;
What's done we partly may com.
pute,
But know not whats resist ed"
The standing advice Of one O.
the philosophers of antiquity, tC
| his scholars was walk erect and
look at things like man." Our
country needs men cast in that
mold very badly at this juncture.
DR.. TbOrnwill said he had hopes
OF any man who could say"I think
thus" because he exhibited person
atty, or individuality and would
thi NIX for himself.
The drift Of things Is to expunge
personality and individuality from
men and to transform them into
echoes, cuckOos and ciphers.
What Is the value Of a long row o.
ciphers, without any figure In
front of them? Naught.
Parties have degenerated into
beds o; procrustees, made all Of
one length, by looping the tall
ones and stretching the short ones
to tit the iron bed. Political parties

have no use for men imbued with
personality and individuality
No they want echoes, cuckoos and
| ciphers.
The labor organizations have
stripped their members OF indi-
viduality and Independence and
reduced them to ciphers. The in
dividual possesses no weight, or
influence, as an individual and
has parted with the god-given
right Of controlling his own ac-
tions. He must think and act as
his leaders direct.
The churches have also suhdued
and bridled the personality, in
dividuality and independence Of
those who belong to them. The
Popes of the church prescribe what
a mem Der shall think and how he
shall act; what he may do and
what he must not do, and the
mem bers are too we'll drilled and
disciplined to resent this priestly
arrogance.
Society likewise abhors any dis
play Of individuality and indepen-
dence. 1t wants men to be as much
alike as one egg is to another egg,
and woman to resemble one an
other the same way. The result
is, that society men and women
are rapidly degenerating into
figure heads and autOmetons,
clothed in the regulation dress.
individuals possess neither
weight nor influence. The party
the church, the order and society,
acting as a unit is all powerful;
but the individual is mere cipher,
and a cuckoo. This dicadonte OF
personality, individuality and in
dependence is symptomatic OF the
tendency Of our civilization to re-
duce men to the dead level OF
mediocrity, by stripping them OF
their highest attributes-person-
ality, individuality and indepen-
dence.
A nation Of cipers, echoes,
cuckOos and figure heads, is rotten
at the core.

Written for the LIGHT.
The advent Of a New Year has
from time mmemOrial been the
season for the formation Of resolu-
tions to leave OF bad habits and
vices.
The facility with which these
"gOOd resolutions" are forgotten
and broken by those making them,
has provoked cynics to sheer at
and ridicule such resolutions and
those who make them. Cynicism
and pessimism bear no fruits save
gall and NORWOOD and have no
use for sunshine, cheerfulness and
hope.
1t does a person good to desire
to leave of a vice and to uproot a
bad habit; 1t does him good to
make resolution to reform him
self. The desire to leave off a bad
habit and a vice proves that a
person still retains his respect for
himself and for the good opinion
Of his fellow creatures, and that
he aohors the bad habits and vices
TO which he is addicted.
While man or woman retains a
single spark Of self respect and
feels the sting OF self degradation
he or she is not beyond the reach
of reformation. There is still hope
OF their throwing off the chains
which evil habits have bound
around them.
What harm does it do to a person
to form good resolutions? Because
says the cynic, he will not live VI
to them. Well, granting he does
break them, is he any the worse
for having made resolutions to cut
loose from bad habits and then
breaking them? Not a particle.
Every man in the world should
aspire to lead a better life each
succeeding year. The very best
persons could be essentially i'm
proved. The tattler would be a
pleasanter companion and a better
neighbor, II he could curb his
tongue, the penurious, grasping and
grinding man would be far more
useful, respected and happy, II he
would listen to the voice of "sweet
charity" and come out Of his shell
of selflshness; habits, the high.
tempered and irritable would be
