The Dinlculty q Woman Has at Times In

"There 1t goes again, and IL Is the third
time this month, walled tho man as he
hung up the telephone and seated himself
wearily at his desk.
my wife just called me up TO see IL
had aeon anything OF hei pocketbook
around sho house last night She's lost 1t,
of course. She is dead certain, though,
that burglars OF the hired girl have pinch
ed IT,
"I'll bet that the women Of Chicago

interest on tho national debt They won't

81 tried TO break my wifeof the habit
by making her an allowance every month
liberal enough TO pay all household ex-
penses and leave her decent margin for
pin money. i informed her that she would
have to stand all losses through her own
carelessness, as would not make them
good.
"Ihis worked oil right for a month be-
cause my wife wanted 10 buy couple OF
new dresses, and, as she actually seemed to
believe meant what said, she discarded
her pocketbook and carried her roll In some
safe place about her person, the exact To-
cation of which was not able TO discover.
This did not last long, however, as she
complained that she was embarrassed by
being obliged TO seek the seclusion OF a
dressing room when she happened to be
down town and wanted to draw on her
funds.
1.-THE next month she lost her pocket
book twice, and was Obliged TO pay tho
grocery bill out of my own pocket or have
our supplies cut off. Now she has lost 1t
again and is broke.
"Well, women are mighty queer crea-
lures" he sighed as he signed his name to
"a check and called the Office boy to take 1t
out to his wife. But" he added hope
fully, "the Lord only knows how we
would manage to get along without 'em. :"

The other day was interviewing a rath.

Contention About Venc-

King Oscar of Norway and
Sweden an Arbitrator.
Matters In Dispute Have Now Been
Practically Settled.

Washington. Nov. 11.-Lord Salisbury's
declaration. at the lord mayors banquet,
that the solution Of the Venezuelan
boundary question had been practically
accomplished by the suggestion eman-
ating from the United States to treat the
colonial empire as individuals are
treated, has caused much satisfaction
here. The solution of the problem which
Lord Salisbury now compliments In such
glowing terms was sent by Secretary
Olney to Sir Julian Pauncefote, June II
last. Up to that time Great Britain had
stipulated for a tribunal Of an even num-
Der OF judges whose disagreement would
lead to endless diplomatic controversies,
which was entirely fepugnant 10 the
United States contention, and was
promptly swept away, and an uneven
number of jurors substituted, who might
be relied upon 10 make definite decision
one way or another.

Insecure buildings.

II there Is any one thing that the public
has right To expect, 1t is proper precau-
ton on the part of builders TO make the
structures they erect secure and thus avoid
danger to Hfe and property
The records of collapsed buildings, fallen
walls, insecure foundations and death traps
generally figure up into an aggregate that
Is simply appalling. The occupant is not
supposed to know that the house he lives
In is not safe. Indeed IL is not his business
TO know. 1t is the business Of the builder
to make everything right, and failing to
do this he should be held TO the strictest
account. The temptation to slight work
and to use inferior materials Is too strong
TO be resisted by unscrupulous builders,
but the results Of such course are too dis
astrous TO pass by without notice.
There must DO something radically wrong
about building inspection when such struc-
lures are passed by the officials. The sug-
gestion that the contractor who knowing
ly puts inferior materials into buildings
should be found guilty of murder In case
the buildings collapse will meet with ap-
proval from all sensible persons
The owner orders tho work and pays the
bill. He has right to expect exactly
what he pays for, and failing to get it the
culprit should be punishable by severe pen-
alties and by tho full limit of the law In
case his work is so faulty as TO collapse
either In the process of building or at any
reasonable time thereafter. New York

The other essential feature OF the treaty
is that 80 years actual possession Is to

THE UNBROKEN SOLID SOUTH.
The hope that the solid South would
DO broken by the recent election was y not
justified by the result. =
Whist has been done has been to demon'
strate that Mwsylsnd and Kentucky may
be captured against the solid South by
virtue OF extraordinary conditions, and
that Delaware, New Jersey and Connects
cut may be looked TO with the trust that
thry viii not always be'slIied with the
Solid South, whether or no.
But the bulk of the Solid South Is in
tact. as it las D,en for forty years. II
| is solid for whstever cause bears the
name Of Democracy. AS 1t stood firm
with handful OF northern States
tightly together in defence OF the issue
OF the "blody shirt:" as it still held firm
with a larger handful of northern states
in support OF "tiriff for revenue" and
OF '.tsriff reform" so now with only a
very snail handful of far western states
il stands united for free silver and
financial dishonor.
The rlliance with Colorado and Idaho
and Moataua and Nevada ran, under no
possible circumstances be of value TO tho
Southern states. As Governor O'Ferrall
Ct Virginia said in sn interview the other
day: 81 am sorry that the good people
Of the South cut loose from those who
rad sent the most capital into her midst
for the development of her iDdustriss, and
tied herself TO the little SILVER burros'
OF the West. When did any of those
Western silver states ever send a dollar
into the South that would aid in the de-
velopmcnt of its industries? On the con
trary. hns not nearly every dollar come
fro n the North? But they cut looss from
the North, spit in ihs teeth Of New York,
state, which have spent money in de-
veicplng her infant industries.' All in
the name OF Democracy, the Governor
might have added.
here Is no ground for faith that tho
great Southern section will be anything
but solid for any cause or issue that has
the Democratic stamp on 1t. Numerous
and influential, as is its representation
In the national councils of the Repubk-
can party 70 measure that that party
could Initiate would serve to break the
solid South ior many years to come. at
least. IL may even Ia said, not without
Just cation, that the Democratic party
could rcpudiate every issue 1t ever made,
that the Republican rarty could sdopt
every such issue for itself, and the sec.
iionsl south would still rem ain solii for
the ciuse hat bore the name Democracy.
What felly to follow the south, as to
seek to break 1. ns things are at present.
Whist folly for a single northern State 10
ever vote in consonsDce With the Solid
south. Wt,Ht foffy for this eeantry to
have Democ attic administration again,
ut least for one generation, until Demcc-
racy means something besides a Solid
South as II has meant for forty years, as
IT means today, as the evidence IS 4
will mean for many years to come.
