! places which no boy should ever see,
They hear language which should
never fall upon the ear of boy or man.
Ihey become pert and not unlike
some of the fresh newsboys upon the
streets of our great cities. Of course.
the little fellows who have homes here
and parents or mothers to look after
them, are not led far astray. Good
boys are as amenable to good advice as
they are to bad examples. But, as a
general rSle, a pageship in the house is
not position to be sought for a good
boy, by his parents or friends. 1t is a
demoralizing way of beginning life.
In fact, this is not city to be COM
mended as superior place for raising
children. The hours of work in the
executive departments are SO few, and
the hours of labor at the capitol are SO
few, that young men growing up here
abaorb the impression that good sal
aries should forever be found for light
work. In the great work-a-day world,
this is not the case. Therefore, boys
raised here, whether in the capitol, or
in the vicinity of the departments, com |
mence life with erroneous impressions. |
To them, lives of toll are obnoxious
They naturally seek easy avenues of
LIVELIHOOD; and those avenues are
usually unworthy. For this reason,
even a senate pagsship may not be re-
garded as altogether desirable for a
youth. SMITH ID. Fry.

very unexpected. The venerable states
man from Massachusetts was suddenly
reminded of a story in an old novel,
which would fit the occasion. Calling
a little page he sent him to the con-
gressional library for the book. When
Senator Dubois sat down at the con.
clusion of his remarks, Senator Hoar
arose with the book in his hand. read
the chapter applicable to the occasion.
and won applause. To the people in
the galleries that was wonderful To
the initiated it was very simple. That
little page boy ran like streak of
lightning to the library; he made no
mistake; he got the right volume; he
flew back to the senator; the proper
page in the book was found and SEN
ator Hoar was loaded for speech by
the time his antagonist concluded his
attack. That illustrates very well one
of the duties required of page.
When the vice president enters the
chamber and assumes the gavel to call
the senate to order, the pages range
themselves along the steps at the side
of the vice presidents platform. When
a senator claps his hands they run to
his desk to go on whatever errands he
may have for them. The pages seldom
leave the capitol. Almost all of the
outside work is done by the riding
pages. They are older, and better
capable physically of covering a wider
territory. The pages duty keeps him at
the capitola short time after the senate
adjourns each evening. That is usual
ly about five o'clock. When there are
night sessions of congress, though, the
pages must remain all night. And very
tired and very sleepy the little fellows
are before the night is over. But they
recover quickly, and are soon ready for
all manner of pranks.
Some of the senators take warm per-
sonal interest in the pages and provide
for them in some manner when they
leave the senate. The late Senator
Stanford used to give the pages quar-
tiers, half dollars, or dollars for serving
him. He Invariably gave the pages
something for waiting on him; and,
every Christmas eve, he sent new five
dollar gold piece, in an envelope, to
each one of the senate pages. Other
senators who are wealthy are liberal
with their money, so that the boys pick
up considerably more than their sal
aries. They are usually good boys, of
good families, their experiences are ed
ucational, they make the acquaintance
of great men; and there is no reason
why senate page should fail in life.
They generally turn out well and make
their mark in the world
1t is an unfortunate fact that the
pages in the house of Representatives are
not so worthy of commentator as are
the little fellows at the other end of
the capitol. Their circumstances are
not SO desirable. They learn great
deal of wickedness, and not infrequent-
~ follow downward course. Some of
them are obliged to carry MESSAGES To

Value of Money.

Money" says Mr. Balfour, "has to
serve not simply as medium of ex-
change, but also as fair and perma-
nent record of obligations extending
over a period of time" Whatever,
therefore. interferes with the usefulness
or permanence of that record disturbs
the relation between debtor and credit
or, and as the record is impaired or
reduced so is the advantage to the
creditor. The effect of the single
standard upon debt has double
aspect BY decreasing the value of
products it increases the value of debts,
which bears with crushing weiyht up
on the producer and bestows a corre-
spending advantage upon the creditor,
and, in fact, upon the holder OF all
fixed securities, who alone are inter
ested in and benefited by'a slender cir
culating medium. BY decreasing tho

The pages, the dancing little Pucks,
upon the floor of the senate, are en-
ployed only during the sessions of the
great deliberative body. New pages
are appointed at the commencement of
every congress, and the boys who have
grown too tall are dropped. Pages are
never removed on account of politics
although the pages have political views.

themselves with manly heroism to the
arts of peace, the restoration of order,
and the best future of this American
Union. The new situation had created
for them new duties. These duties
were faithfully performed. They had,
indeed, difficulties to contend with
| which neither the mind nor the heart
! of Mr.. Cleveland seems able to gras p.
Filling the high Office that he does the
incident of gloating and laughing over
the conquest of a Stste with all its at
tendant misery, is not an evidence
either of good taste or Of patriotism. It
is especially unbecoming in one who
bore no part in the great contest save
that of snuffing the battle afar off. Let
Mr.. Cleveland set his face towards the
morning. The past is gone. Sectional
divisions and wars are happily at an
end. The Union is secured. Ali men
support it the South far better
and more honorably than those who
monopolize its highest honors and reap
its richest benefits. But there are deep
and grave problems for US all yet in
store. There is the deep, profound
conflict between capital and labor, the
beginnings of which we have already
seen in carnage of blood at Chicago
and Pittsburg. If Mr.. Cleveland thinks
that all future troubles can be solved
by his standing army, third term and
applauding a war song of battle he
did not fight, he is most egregiously
mistaken. His recent White House
performance is like a man taunting
gentleman whose hospitality he is about
to enjoy with his misfortunes. 1t re-
calls the memory of a shameful trans
action at the Southern. Society Club of
New York, when an invited guest un-
dertook 10 speak for George Washing
ton and to forge his great name in or
der to point reprosch at those pres.
ent who had followed the standards Of
Lee and Jackson. 1t is strange, indeed,
and deplorable that as the dreadful
scenes of the civil war fade into the
distance and become dim Mr.. Cleve-
land should be seizing fresh oppor-
tunities to revive the most painful men,
ories of the strife and to re-echo the
sentiments of an era of passion and
hate. 1t would be far better for him to
give us now the benevolent neutrality
which he exhibited some thirty years
ago. A war record which began in 1885
aud tariff record which began in
1887 are not old enough to justify our
respect. lie can make no capital out Of
either for third term.
