A nrrunLIcAN ouANDARY.

Verify, the Republicans are in guam
Diary respecting their Better allies. IL Is
the policy OF the G. o. =. to encourage
the Boilers TO hold together as an organi-
zaticn. in order that their sponsors
may use them TO get control OF the state
legislatures especially the state leSisia-
lures that will elect United States seAa-
tors next year To that end, the Repuo-
lican organs have been lavish in encoml-
ums OF the "unseldshness' OF the BOLT
ers In putting patriotism above party
and have sedulously sought TO innate
them with the idea that they hold the
balance of political power.
But in several quarters recently has
been sprung the question Of compromising
the Boilers FOR their unselfsh patrio'-
ism. by giving some OF their leaders
recocnition in McKinley's official house
hold. and Immediately there was great
CONSERVATION in the Republican camp.
Giving the Boilers "taffy", in order 10
hold them for future manipulation IS one
thing. but giving them part OF 'he
spous IS quite another. On the ques-
ton of rewarding the Boilers or allow
ing them TO have any influence with the
administration, the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph says
sThe Republican party IS pledged 10
pursue a certain course, and snould IL
deviate therefron il will betray the trust
reposed in IT, and invite what II surely
will receive--the early condemnation OF
the people. Let the free-trade, GIT
bearing Greeks, therefore, ind themselves
peremptorily turned aside. They are lhe
worst enemies OF the Mckinley Admins
tration. the Republican party, and the
country. II IS no time TO mince words
about this matter"
And here IS another characteristic ex-
preston Of opinion on this matter. 1t
is from the Philadelphia Press:
"The stupidest nonsense that we have
heard since the election is the talk
about the possibility of Democrats re-
ceivlng Cabinet portfolios or foreign
missions from Major Mckinley. During
the four years following March Attn next
and for several years afterward, we ex-
pect-the government Of this country Is
TO be in the hands OF the Republican
party. For whatever IS done, or what
ever is left undone. the Republican
party will be held responsible"
We could produce similar extracts from
other Republican papers, but think that
these two are as much as the digestion
Of our disaffected Democratic friends
should be taxed with for the present.

trated under the chairmanship OF John
Barbour. When Phil. Mckinney beat
Billy Malone by about 5000 votes, Ma
hone raised the same outcry against NC
Kinney and Basil Gordon. the latter OF
whom was our chairman. And when
more recently, Colonel OFerrah was
elected Governor, we all know "hat

So we see that, under the chairman

raised and loudly vociferated.
Since the time Of Governor Holiday,
the Democrats have elected no Governor

AMERICAN DOMESTIC LIFE.

At the meeting OF the Nineteenth Cen
fury Club. Of New York. the other night,
the subject for discussion was; rs Do
nestle Life in American Cities Disap-
pearing?" Four ladies' were booked 10
discuss It, but only two Of them an
swered to the call one Of these, in the
course Of her address. deprecated the
theory Of the people who urged that
more channels Of labor were required
for women. She next remarked, amid an
outburst Of laughter that the modern
boarding-house was one OF the most ac-
tive disintegrators Of home life. The
system Of living in hotels also came IN
der her censure and, in conclusion she
condemned the desire Of many women
TO relieve what they thought the mo-
notony of home by rushing TO crowded
receptions and entertainments, 10 the
neglect Of the domestic environments OF
the home.
The other speaker said. among other
things. that It was 10 be deplored ne
a national calamity that the relation
between mother and child seemed to be-
come less, rather than greater, in import
ance. The stability and the prosperity
Of England, she added. depended upon
its middle classes. in whom the essence
Of domestic life was incorporated, and in
this class the power Of the country was
alone vested and continued. In country
places. she remarked. home life was still
a potent factor but 1t was not so in the
cities. and she contended that in tene-
ment and in mansion alike there seemed
to be a total disregard for the pro-
per training and consideration Of chill
dren
The Tribune, in its report Of the meet
ing tells us that none OF the members OF
the club could be prevailed on to ascend
the platform and controvert the opinions
expressed, and the remainder Of the eve
ming was given up to social converse
ton. We might suggest that perhaps
none Of the members could successfully
controvert such wholesome contentious,
but, perhaps, in this age of the new wo-
man, we would better not However, It
IS competent to remark that it is evident
that neither of the speakers above quoted
was a new woman.

down Of the free-silver proposition can

of which he says:

We do not believe that Cleveland and

likewise with this Cuban trouble.

A GovEnEoR,s CouNCILLon.

It appears that the Hampton, Va.
negro, Colonel" /. b. T. Allen, whom
the people Of Massachusetts, have chosen
to SIT on the right Of their Governor
when the Governors council Is in session.
has most unsavory reputation. He has
been before the courts on disgraceful
charges numbers of times.
Allen easily got the nomination In his
district, because It is usually Democratic
and nobody thought that he could be
elected But he was elected-thoush, only
by sixty-two votes-and now the Bos-
tonlans are divided in opinion as to
whether they ought TO make a hero of
him or should weep bitter tears Of
shame. 1t is conceded that many who
voted for Colonel ALLEN did not know
that he IS a colored man.
Massachusetts is one OF the few States
of the Union where the Governor has a
Council or Cabinet. North Carolina IS
another-certain heads of departments
there being ex-ofIicio members Of the
Council of State, which advises the Gov
ernor in the execution OF his duties. Vir-
ginia's Governor he'd a council up to
the time Of the adoption Of the Con-
stitution Of 1Sj0'51, when 1t was abol-
ished.
At one time in the long ago, before the
State Capitol was built. we suppose, the
Council chamber" was in plain wooden
building on Council Chamber Hill, which
was then a part Of the Public Square.
Council Chamber Hill, as popularity
known. was bounded by Broad, Mayo,
Ross, and Governor streets, and has now
been well-nigh covered with buildings.
