THE FAMILY IDEA.
DOmesticity as Viewed from Opposing
Sides in France and England.

Letter III hdHSdS lily JOuTudl.
If you happen, after a sojourn in France,
to enter London on long summer even
ing, you will be impressed by at least two
things. First, by the shapeless, mudlike
formations called houses for the middle
and lower classes. These constructions
illustrate Mr. RuSkin's remark that the
English build like rats and mice. Second,
by the crowds of boys and girls. From the
playing Justify at cricket and other sports,
and often these swarms are largely COM
posed of girls. On all hands in London
there are Swapping lads and buxom, red
checked lasses. Every third English per-
son you meet belongs to a family of from
eight to eighteen children In France, chill
ground of notice, and boys and girls are
not permitted to mingle freely with each
other The English still continue to popu-
late the earth.
By having large families they display
much greater and more, genuine and prac-
teal faith in Providence than do the French
or Americans; An Englishman anu VIE.
whether they have little cr no money, think
nothing of giving ten or Twelve offspring to
the world The American, and notably, the
Frenchman, would shudder at such a re-
sponsibility and hold it almost a crime.
The Frenchman believes that a household
of children is a temptation OF the good God
or the good devil-the two are much the
same thing in the popular French mind.
Until you learn that a Londoner and his
wife have three or four children still left
in England, you will pity. them for being
deserted Dy one son III SOutH AITlCds ny
another in Australia, by a daughter in In
dia and by five six children in equi-
distant parts of the world.
The domestic note is dominant in Lon
don and not in Paris. This note is echoed
fully in the popular songs along the
Thames In the French capital the public
dittiss do not reflect the hearthstone nor
embrace the realm of childhood they are
only for mature people and of mature peo-
pie In the London concert hall songs, do

Britsher, who had an office in Trafalgar
square, and he tapped along parallel

we'll oiled and feathered way, by saying
that he had lived all over the world. But
while he took cosmopolitan pride in the
globe as a whole, he preferred London to
all cities 1t was twice as large as any
other town and consequently had twice as

YOU into its homes and keeps you at table.
This is not always the rule in America,
and one reason is that many American
wives do their own Homework and cook

might wish In England rare indeed is the
home without a housemaid. There very In
digent families are fanked by servant.

Those persons who are hunting debtors
who have moved away from their places Of
abode find cold comfort when they seek TO
learn the new address from the postal au-
thorities. 1t is not generally known that
Uncle Sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an inviola-
BILE secret, but such is the case, and the
postal address, as a rule, win not be given
to any applicant, the rule being in accord
ance with the general principle that mans
dealings with the government are OF a con-
fidential nature. This rule can be carried to
a point where 1t Is ridiculous. For instance,
a man met carrier in Walnut street tb 3
other day, and, not wishing to pull door
bells until he found the person he was
looking for, he stopped the letter carrier
and inquired. The carrier acknowledged
that he knew the person, but he could not
give the number. Its against the rules"
he said. Superintendent Of City Deliver
James O'Sullivan laughed when told or tie
incident yesterday. That was foolish ne
said; ''the carrier should have told hiDi.
This office or the carriers, however, will rot
give the new address of persons who have
moved away. We, however, tell applicants
that we will endeavor to forward a letter
to its proper destination. 1 have no doubt
that the strict enforcement Of this rule has
saved many persons from much annoyance;
in fact, there are instances when persons
move away solely to escape from annoying
attentions and their reasons may be entire
ly legitimate; therefore. they are entitled
to full protection, SO far as We can give

Great men have their acknowledgements

SPEECH BY SENATOR DANIEL.
The Virginian UphOlds President
Clevelnnd's Position.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Mr. Daniel, of
Virginia, made a speech in the Senate to-
day on the Venezuelan question. To begin
with, he held that least of all the nations
of the earth could Great Britain fifty object
to the assertion of the Monroe doctrine by
the United States for, in the language of
Edward Everett, 1T was announced not
merely with the approval of the British
Minister of Foreign Affairs, but at his ear
nest and oft repeated solicitation. Least
of all nations did 1t become her to contend
that it was not recognized as international
law because it was not founded on the gen.
eral consent of nations, for Great Britain
herself invoked the United States to its ut
terance, not only without the consent, but,
as well, against the strong menaces of
France, Austria, Russia and Prussia. Least
of all nations could Great Britain fairly
controvert that governmental policy which
underlay the Monroe doctrine, for she,
foremost and most conspicuously of all ma
tons, had interviewed in the affairs of the
world at large. not only whenever her peace
and safety were even remotely involved, but
also wherever and whenever her capital
could be invested, her commerce expanded
or territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT be exercised.
Even to the existing dispute with Ven
ezuela we perceived the outcropping of her
own Monroe doctrine, so TO speak by her
demand in a cession to Venezuela at one
time 10 a foreign power. Ana With no bet
ter grace could Great Britain persist in re-
Polling the manifold overtures made to her
for arbitration.
The Senator referred to the two sets of
resolutions pending in the Senate. Those
proposed by the committee on foreign re-
iaticns he regarded as simply embodying
detailed statement OF the Monroe doctrine
as embraced in the more general language
in which ii was uttered. The resolutions
offered by the Senator from New Jersey
seemed to him (Mr. DanieD to mislnterpret
the history and to pervert the plain Ian
guage of the Monroe doctrine. The charge
that the Presidents action was premature
and imprudent. in view of our business and
financial conditions. seems TO me-" Mr. Dan
Tel said. superficial criticism The financial
crisis may last FIVE or ten years more.
Meantime is the United States to take no
cognizance OF great affairs. but sit down
supinely and let the wide world wag as 1t
will? The declaration that the executive
commits US to protectorate over Mexico
and the Central and South American states
is far fetched" The Senator then showed
how the doctrine has been upheld by va
rious Presidents. The civil war; vast. and
engrossing as II was. had caused no inter-
ruption IN the assertion Of the Monroe doc

the Senate committee strikes at the heart
of the principle Of arbitration. Senator
Smith has prepared a resolution declaring
that the United States does not intend to
establish a protectorate in South America,
nor to become responsible in any degree
for the conduct of other American nations.
He discussed the substance of the reso-
luton with the President to-day. Secre-
