cannot be an active business woman
and an Office holder, and a good
mother at the same time Neither
can she, it is quite as true, give her
whole time to society and be n good
mother Children's minds are like
wax, and they receive and retain i'm
pressions made in early years The
mother who leaves her little. ones with
others, however excellent, ten waking

she can ever remedy by modifying or

Of way.
There can be no emotion in a
womans heart worthy of the name of
love when she is unwilling to take
her husbands name. However
famous she may be, and however hard
she may have toiled to make her
name celebrated the name her lover
bears becomes thousandfold dearer
to her than her own. To most
famous women, indeed, it seems that
the shelter which the husband name
ut times may afford her from the
glare of publicity must he most well

woman, no matter how many laurels
she may have won, must at times
shrink from forever appearing in
public or in private with the wreath
on her brow She likes at times to
take it off and wear bonnet and Il
veil, and he just her husbands wife.

If Mckinley should be elected.
whose would the triumph be? Would
the industrious, decent citizens OF
the country, who work honestly III
their various ways with hand or
brain for livelihood, and want only
what belongs to them, feel that a
victory had been won over greed
dishonesty and the predatory inter

and control the Government for their
private advantage? For years there
has gone up in this Republic an

There is failure of the wheat
crop in India, and wheat in the Uni
ted States is going up. OF course it
will be pointed out to farmers as an
explosion of the theory that silver
governs the price Of wheat. The re-
lations of silver and wheat maintain
their steadiness under all normal
conditions. An extraordinary OF
unusual element, such as failure OF
half the wheat crop Of the world,
would naturally cause temporary
break, but does not affect the propo-
