selves When little girls are wisely and
lovingly developed in all that is virtu-
Gus and feminine. their daughters in
turn will be even more nearly perfect,
! for they will have the benefit of so
many more years of progress"
The object is a very worthy one, but
it is hard not to think that there is
much of the fad about the matter a
comparatively few mothers win attend
this congress, which will probably
adopt a set of resolutions of about as
much value to mankind as books tell
ing about how to become rich.
There are very few mothers in this
world who are not far more interested
in the moral, the physical. the spiritual
welfare of their sons and daughters
than anyone else can possibly be- They
may lack the best training as to how
children should be reared. but their
power TO do for their children comes
not so much from lack of knowledge
as from lack Of means. This fact is
very apt to be overlooked by these
good ladies who are promoting this
congress of mothers. IT is all very well
to say that when boys are carefully
reared their moral. mental and physi-
cal natures nourished to their greatest
strength, the laws and morals of the
country will take care of themselves.
All that is as much as to say that when
men are all made perfect there will be
no imperfections.
The greatest hindrance to the realiza-
ton of the hopes of these ladies who
will have this congress in charge Will
be the constant and, comparatively
speaking, universal poverty. When one
thinks of how great this is the wonder
is that more boys and girls do not grow
up to be bad men and women.
The object of this congress is most
worthy, and may all success attend it.

THE CUBAN CRISIS.

Matters in Cuba have about reached
crisis. If they have, all the world
will be glad. for it will mean that the
terrible condition of affairs existing
there now will cease. The manner OF
Maceo's death, accepting the latest ac-
counts of it as correct, has raised such
a feeling of hostility to Spain that she
viii be compelled to do all in her pow
er to subdue the rebellion that the in
cident may not appear such a blot
upon her. If she can do this in short
time her success will have much of this
effect: if she cannot, the blot will be-
come deeper and blacker with the lapse
of time.
There is no reason to believe that
events now transpiring in Cuba will
cause President Cleveland to depart
from his past policy. A decisive Span
ish victory would not, but a decisive
Cuban victory most probably would.
Any departure from his present policy
could not be carried to a successful
close, owing to the short time remain
ing to his administration.
Nor is it at all likely that the fiery
resolutions of Senator Call and others
will be acted upon by congress. They
are looked upon as being too much the
result of sudden passion, and not of
due deliberation. 1t may also be SCI
down that Spain viii now be more
conciliatory towards the Washington
government than before. Should the
Havana authorities execute the Com
petitor prisoners there is no telling
what the result would be.
1t now looks as though the real crisis
in Cuban affairs had come. May it
turn in favor of the Cubans

AN EMERGENCY REVENUE BILL
URGED.


The Home Market club, of Boston,
through its secretary, Mr.. Albert
Clarke, recently telegraphed Senator
Aldrich, Washington, as follows:
At a meeting of the directors of the
Home Market club today all the New
England states and a large variety of
industries being represented, it was
voted unanimously to urge congress to
pass some new emergency revenue bill
speedily tc prevent the further Gripping
of industries 10y deluge of importa-
tions in anticipation of more protective
legislation. Also 10 prepare this winter
a more perfect measure for the next
congress to act upon at a special ses-
sion. The need of immediate proven
tion was deemed so great as 10 trans
cend partisan considerations. Viewing
the plight of the Dingley bill in the
senate, house action de novo was
thought advisable The continued en-
ployment of hundreds of thousands of
operatives this winter was believed To
be dependent upon checking importa
tons exceeding the demand for the
present. and for a long time to come. II
is not a question of principle or OF
permanent policy. but of preventing
foreign advantage to cheat the revenue
and defeat business.
When this is carefully considered i;
will be found to be a little inconsist-
ent. Congress is to be urged to pass
an emergency revenue bin to prevent
the further Gripping of industries bv
a deluge of importations. Why did
not the Home Market club ask for pro-
tective legislation for this purpose +?
That is what is wanted, and it is made

Nothing talks like the Coats them

have you see them. They create such

so, SO and SIS.
We have not forgotten the little ones;
they are growing every day and will
soon be our large customers. To force
them to remember us we search the
market over to find them the best
values in Refers and Overcoats-the
kind they cannot wear out, but may
out-grow. Such overcoats as our $3.50,
81 and SO ones cannot be found else
where for the money. The fine ones
trimmed and braided up so stylish are
selling at 81. $3.50 and S.. A full stock

THE EXILrE's SONG.

oh, why left 1 my hame?
Why did 1 cross the deep?
Oh, why left l the land
Where my forefathers sleep?
l sigh for Scotia shore,
And l gaze across the sea,
But l Gamma get a blink
O. my ain countrie!
The palm tree waveth high.
And fair the myrtle springs;
And. to the Indian maid,
The bulbul sweetly sings.
But l dinna see the broom
WI its tassels on the lea,
Nor hear the lintie's sang
o. my ain countrie,
Oh. here no Sabbath bell
Awakes the Sabbath morn,
Nor song of; reapers heard
Amang the yellow corn:
For the tyrant's voice is here,
And the wall of slave-ie;
But the sun of freedom shines
In my ain countrie.
There's hope for every woe,
And a balmi for every pain;
But the first joys o our heart
Come never back again.
There's a track upon the deep,
And a path across the sea;
But the weary ne'er return
To their ain countriel
