A pension Grab Defeated.

The pension bill passed the House on
Friday, but it did not contain the pro-
vision in respect to widows which was
Inserted by the pension committee, and
which was the text for many demagogic
speeches. That it did not contain that pro-
vision was due mainly to the efforts of
Mr.. Bartlett of New York, a democrat,
and a man who is not afraid to do what
he believes to be right. If there were
more men in congress like Mr.. Bartlett,
there would be much less extravaganza
The provision which the committee put
in the bill, and to which objection was
successfully made, was an amendment
to the dependent pension law of 1880.
That law provides that a soldiers widow
who has nc other means of support than
her daily labor shall have a pension of
S12 month. The amendment was that
a widow to get the pension need not
show she had no other means of sup
port, provided her income did not ex-
coed $500 a year. In other words, it was
proposed to pension widows of soldiers
who are not dependent on their daily la
Dor. There are a good mary members of
congress who are still willing to use the
public treasury to increase their chances
of being retained in congress, and they

DOMESTIC Service.

Some progressive women of Chicago
have established what they call a house
hold economic society, the object of which
is to afford young women the opportunity
to secure training for domestic service.
Numerous schools have been established
in various sections of the country in which
training in the trades may be secured but
go far as is known the projected school
for domestic help which the Chicago wo-
men will establish will be the first of it's
kind in the country.
The want of training by girls who go
out in domestic service is known to every
housekeeper who employs such help. 1t
is an exception when the girl employed has
anything like a correct idea of what her
duties are and how they ought to be per-
formed. Generally speaking, girls of the
class who become domestics do not have
an opportunity of studying in their own
homes those details and niceties which
are required, in these advanced days, in
the homes of those who employ domestics.
The average girl who seeks a domestics
place is totally ignorant of the modern
kitchen range, it's numerous pieces of
furniture, the hot water ap-
paratus, the artistic lamps that are now
to be found almost everywhere, the ETH
ouette of the doorbell the requirements of
modern household hygiene, and other
things 'too numerous to mention" Such
girls need intelligent training. At present
the employing housekeeper must be the
teacher, from the kindergarten to the post
graduate stage. And when the education
is we'll under way, the chances are that
the girl will go, and the work of teaching
must be begun all over again.
There is need, also, for the daughters of
| the well-to-do classes to have a liberal
| education in domestic affairs. No woman
is thoroughly accomplished who cannot
make a batch of biscuits that may be en-
joyed upon their merits. No woman's edu-
/ cation is complete unless it includes the
| knowledge of darning hose as we'll as
darning lace. Girls are too often allowed
to grow to womanhood with no view to
self-support in the case of emergency, and
no desire to acquire the means of such
self-support. There is room for much ju-
dicious schooling of young women who
live on Easy street. as well as room for
the school which the Chicago women pro-
pose, and hundreds of others of the same
! kind

and thorough knowledge Of electrical phe-
nomena permit OF his wrapping his Jokes
sometimes IN technical terms and acknow-
lodged formulas until Iaymen are com
pletely mystifed. although they know
that there is fun at the bottom Of the
whole thing. The Jules Verne-Hke twist
that Edison is able to give his stories is
edifying, as well as entertaining. But
they are not designed TO and should
not misIead--the scientific mind.
Not long ago when there was talk OF
the probability Of a war between this
country and Great Britain a newspaper
man went to Mr. Edison and asked him
him II he had not a scheme for the de-
Tense OF the country with electricity. Mr..
Edison had. Of course, and gave the re-
porter a cock and-bull story about a fort
armed with powerful pumping engines and
hose, TO throw stream Of water charged
with electricity upon an advancing en-
envy. He said the strength Of the cleo
trical current could be regulated so as
TO merely stun the enemy, when the pcO-
pie in the fort could go out and pick them
up as prisoners of war, or the current
could be made strong enough to kill them
in the twinkling Of an eye. He expressed
the opinion that when Lord Salisbury
had heard about the pump and hose fort
he would hesitate about going to war with
this country
Lord Armstrong. the great gunmaker of
Great Britain. read Mr.. Edisons story
and accepted every word of it as the calm
and sober statement of a great scientist
Then he sat down and wrote a letter
to controvert Mr.. Edisons claims, ap-
preaching the matter with great delicacy,
being in hesitation about opposing his
opinion against that of 50 great a man
as Edison. His lordship said the fort
would have to be demonstrated efficient
by actual test before a great nation would
be justified in adding it to its defenses;
that the possession of such forts would
come to the knowledge of the
opponents of the country owning
them and attacking soldiers would
keep out of range of the
water jets, thus multiplying the efficiency
of the death dealing apparatus. and con-
cluded his letter thus: Lord Salisbury is
himself too much of an electrician 10

of wholesale electrical slaughter which
Mr. Edison, in the fervor of his patriot
ism, may have uttered"

CIeveInnd and the Nominntinn

! Senator Calvin S. Brice of Ohio is au-
thority for the statement that there Is
a very strong impression that Mr.. Cleve-
land has written a letter to be used only
in case the necessity for using it should
arise. to the effect that under no cir
cumstances would he accept a nomina-
ton for the presidency.
According to Mr.. Brice. the letter will
never be made public if there should be
no probability of Mr.. Clevelands nomina-
ton. but if there should be a movement to
nominate him, and it should promise to be
successful, the letter would be produced.
If there is no such letter in existence
it is rather remarkable that report that
there is should have got abroad, and if
there is such letter, either MIR. Cleve-
land, or those to whom it is entrusted.
have not kept the secret very closely.
The chances are that Mr. Cleveland has
not written letter, though there are
grave reasons for thinking he is not a
presidential candidate. Without saying
directly that he does not want another
term, he has said as much indirectly TO
his friends.

Ugly Things.

Editor Morning News: "A long time
ago" a beautiful poem was published
(some of your readers may recall iO. en-
titled Beautiful Things" Sans sarcasm,
l submit the following quasi-parody. H.
Ugly faces are those that wear
Only skin-deep beauty; dark or fair
Matters not, there is no true beauty there.
Ugly eyes are those that show
But a beautiful counterfeit of the glow
OF beautiful thoughts that should burn
below.
Ugly lips are those whose words
Though seeming sweet as the song OF
No real truth or prudence their utterance
girds.
Ugly hands no real good work do,
Shapely and withdrawing brave or true
Is cone by these hands all the long days
through.
Ugly feet, though entrancingly small,
And eXquisltely shaped, are those that
The iowiier paths, where real duties call.
Ugly shoulders often beautiful seem
To the eyes OF men, with their smooth,
white CLEAN,
But they hide only ashes-no soul within.
Ugly lives, spent in selfish way
Self, only self, through the lVelong day.
No thought for the sufferers by the way.
Ugly twilight-one more day is gone
Meier to return-one more gem from the
crown
OF life is lost-aye, lost and gone.
Ugly graves? There are none. for our
memories keep
The lowliest green; there our loved ones
sleep;
Like some heartaches, their pain is ever
sweet
Beauty consists in what beauty does.
Sorrow is beautiful, true pity too;
& r7Y,Ia
A heart, and a soul that is tried and true.

Two years ago the populists carried AIer-
iwether county by 200 votes. Last week
the democrats beat them at the polls, in
the election of a county commissioner, by
800. The populists dragged the money
question into the fight. and fought just
as hard as they knew how.
