The politicians who remain discuss the
personnel of McKinley's cabinet. in the
event of bis election. AS vigorous for
eign policy will be one of the features of
McKinley's administration, he would
manifestly give much care to the selec-
tion OF his secretary of state. and Gen
eral Benjamin +. Tracy OF New York,
who was Harrison's secretary of the
navy. Is well regarded by some as the
man for that place. There is also talk
of Senator sherman accepting again the
treasury portfolio, but to this the OBJ
lection Is made that the work Of that de-
partment, under new administration,
is too trying a character for man OF
Sherman's age, Notwithstanding he is
still in the full possession of all his
mental and physical faculties. Nc
Kinley's friends also feel that the admin
istration should have strong champion
on tho f,oor OF the senate, as Sherman
would undoubtedly be, and this is an
other consideration which initiates
against his seieetior for cabinet honors.

The Swiss Parliament.

A parliament in which the discus
sions are carried on in three different
languages is probobly unique. The
country where this singular fact oc-
ours is Switzerland. The languages
spoken by the members are French,
Italian and German. Italian, true, is
not as often employed as the other two,
the members for Tessin "a canton in
the south) very often delivering their
speeches in French. AS almost every
educated Swiss speaks French and Ger
man, members are therefore able to
understand each others speeches, al
though spoken in different language
to their own. 1t often happens that
when a Frenchspeaking member wishes
to make stronger impression on the
German-speaking part of the house, he
delivers his speech in German, and vice
versa.-GOlden Days.

Male View of Talking Women.

Some women who can talk well, and
necessarily require a subject to talk
about, have again seized upon the theme
of the decadence of the home and the
fourishing condition of the modern
boarding-house, which is held up as the
pernicious and disintegrating influence
of American family life. Well, now,
why shouldn't one woman as we'll as
another choose what she will do? 1t
is only given to u few women the abii-
ty and inclination to travel over the
country and address clubs upon the duty
of all other women to stay at home and
mind the babies and make the hearth
bright for Woodworking husbands.
But those who have neither the talent
nor the wish to do this have the de-
sire and capacity for something else,
and naturally they go about doing it.
And they do it, be it observed, unob-
trusively and with no thought or care
for the conduct Cf other women who
have different tastes and vacations.
woman isn't ready to comment upon,
from potatoes to politics. She is glib,
oh, wonderfully, fatally glib! And she
can tell with such pretty phrases and
in such sweet tones just what every
body else should do. And, mind you,
tits always what she herself is not doing,
and is not going to do. But the talk
ing woman is not, and is not expected to
be, consistent.-Boston Herald.

SCIENCE AND ART
Not Confined to Material Things:
Science of Expression.

Elocution is the science and
arr Of expression by voice and
action, As an art it deals with
the correct outward expression
of thought and feeling; as a sci
ence it discovers aud Classics
the principles which govern such
expression. Tt is not an exact
science, but a liberal one, through
which the highest excellence Iii
the art is attained. This will
account for the fact that our
finest speakers are not alike in
their modes of delivery. though
the main principles exist the
same in all.
1t is the purpose of elocution
to develop individuality, TO cor~
rect bad habits of speech and
gesture, and to make the body a
fit instrument to serve the mind
and soul.
AS in the fine arts, sculpture,
painting and music, no one need
hope to gain eminence without
some native aptitude, SO in the
art OF spoken language few gain
distinction, yet it is in the pro-
vince OF all With due practice to
become at least tolerabIe readers
and speakers.
1t is by judicious application
of the natural laws of expression
that one may go beyond the
point of mere accidental success.
and may gain positive aud per-
manent power in commanding
the interest aud attention Of his
hearers. The object OF elocu-
ton is to help the student to give
correct manifestation of his in
ward consciousness, or in other
words to express that which has
been impressed"
The ARGUS had something to
say on this subject last week,
and refer to the matter again for
the express purpose of impress
ing upon parents and the young
in this community the import
ance to them of the subject dis
cussed, as we'll as to encourage
and commend the laudible under
taking Of the young lady, Miss
Amy Stevens, who has opened a
class in our city in elocution and
