THAT American citizens should ever have
been forced to organize for the retention
of honest money will seem incredible to
the next generation. But the demon Of
dishonesty is getting in his work, and the
only thing to do is to fight him to finish.

Why, IL is within the memory Of a third,

which listens to me that when the terrible
war of the rebellion burst forth tens of
thousands Of Democrats, politicians, strong
party men, sprang TO their feet, represent
ing hundreds of thousands, aye, millions,
and thenceforth and always were part and
parcel of the bone and sinew OF the vic
torious republic. What matter II the party
had gone wrongi They were right. One
man among them, one man alone, by
single sentence gave aid and succor to this
government which outweighed a whole
armycorps of veterans, musket on shoulder.
When Stephen A. Douglas declared, after
Sumter was fred on, that "thenceforth
there could be but two parties, patriots
and traitors" he won the respect even OF
foes and an imperishable place in history.

they are patriots, for that they must be-

Is good one. 1t is time for patriots to

The most interesting development in
domestic life with which women have
to deal is cooking by electricity. Ev-
cry woman knows that the kitchen
range is the real hub Of the universe.
So long as that runs smoothly dynas-
ties may change and nations go under
with comparatively little stir. A
change of fuel is more serious expert
ment than change Of sect or party.
The first thing that commends electric
ity to a woman Is it's cleanliness. For
this gas has prepared them somewhat.
But even with gas the products of
combustion still oblige the washing Of
the outside Of the platters. In cooking
by electricity there Is no combustion.

curious and interesting feature of the
new process. To cook without flame
contradicts the most famiiiar of all
arts. In getting rid Of combustion goes

for in 1876 death ended the young
Emperor's brief reign.
Then Kwang Su, next OF kin,
son of Prince Kung, was declared
Emperor, but all China knows
that he was under the advice and
counsel of Tsi Thsi and has
father, for the titular Empress, Tsi
An, died in 1881. And knowing
ones saythat Prince Kung looked
up to Isl Thsi in all affairs upon
which he was called on to advise
his son, the Emperor.
Such is the romantic history OF
one of the most remarkable women
of the present age. 1t is nothing
new to students of Oriental his
tory to read of a woman ruling
vast empire with more than mas
culine vigor, but the extraorlina.
rily successful record of the Elm
press Dowager of China has never
been equaled, in the records of
feminine statecraft in the East.
She found China, in the words
of one eminent writer, with the
prestige, resources and peace of
the realm reduced to their lowest
ebb;" with the most fruitful pro-
vinces a desert; with three great
and apparently successful rebel
lions raging simultaneously in
different parts of the empire; with
a load of debt, caused by an I'M
successful foreign war, during
which the capital was in the
hands of the invader-she found
all these when her husband, the
Emperor Helm Fung, died in
1861.
The world knows how all this
was changed, when she handed
over the reins of government to
the young Emperor in 1889. Pro-
found peace reigned over the
eighteen provinces and the vast
regions outside them, and there
never was a time in the history of
China when she was greater in
the eyes of foreign powers or
more respected by them.
