Adversely.

Those who are suffering
from adversely are seldom
surh philosophers that they
can seq any good in it, but
when ther have overcome it
and look back upon their
day OF trinls rhey may ex-
claim with the banished Duke
in AS You Like IT," Sweet
are the uses of ahversity."
The poetry of "As You Like
1t" is singnlarIy beautiful,
AMI its philosophy no less
kindly and agreeable. The
hanished Duke contrasts the
freedom and peace attending
life in the forest of Arden.
notwithstanding its discom-
fits OF hunger and cold, with
the painted pOmp, the E~rils
and envies of the court ami
then remarks:
''Sweet are the uses OF adversity
Which, like The toad, ugly and
venOmOus,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his
head"
The jewel which advprsity
hears to most men isa chast-
pning influence, and is not
appreciated until adversely
itself has lost it's sting. The
men who have risen from ear
ly poverty, with limited
meAn M OF education, to great
ness look back with pleasure
to their early struggles with
adversity, for bv those strug-
gles they we're trained physi
cally, mentally ana morally
for the lahors of their later
years. Negative proolof the
uses of adversely may be
found in the querulous sensi-
ti"ehess 0fpamperpd children
of fortune, who have never
known n want that was not
gratified and have had NJ
experience with real suffering.
1t may he found also in the
aimless useless lives ofyoung
men to whom the path of life
has been made so easy tha..
they have never been called
upon to make an effort for
themselves. "Sweet are sthe
uses of adyersity" to those
who, ha wing been chastenAd
by it, have learned tosympa-
rhlze with Others, tD aban-
don their selfish schemes and
to appreciate the simple do
lights of life easily within
their reach, instead OF pinihg
for unattainable luxuries.
That cOntentment which is
said to be better than wealth
is nttainable mainly through
experience with adversity.
Those who have not suffer
ed from real want becomes
dissatisfied and impatient if
crossed in their slightest de.
sire, nut the victims Of advpr
sity are fol titled against jail
minor ills. No one is likely
to deliberately choose power
ty and hardship for the sake
of their training and chasten
ing influence any more than
they can he indn"ed to take
physical exercise that is dig
tasteful to them for the pres
ervation of the health, but it
should be an encouraging
thought to those who are

from l.ardships of any kind

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our Eagular Correspondent
President Cleveland's con
sistent record in refusing Il,
sign River and Harhor bills,
to say nothing Of the extrav
agantly largearpropriations
alread made by thist 'ongl ess
AMI the lack Of money in
sight to pay them, makes it
reasonably certnin that the
River and Harhor bill now
in his hands, which breaks
the record by providing for
! the enormous expenditure of
$75, 900, 900, will be vetoed.
Congress is expecting a velo,
and, owing to the r'ide distrl
buttons Of the appropriations
provined for in the bill, ex-
prcts to be able IT, pass it ov-
er the veto. 1t wns stated in
Washington ten days ago
that enough votes had been
pledged to pass the bill oyer
Il VETO. While nothing is pos
itiveIy known, 0elnocra ts gen
erallv hope and believe that
the President will make his
message vetoing this hill a.
ringing protest against the
extrasaganee OF this Con
grrss something that will
make d strong and c0Dvillc
ing democratic campaign doe
uinent.
LII declining to furnish the
Senate with the correspond
ence connected with the ar
rest by the Spaniards of AM
erican citizens in the tllibus-
ter Competitor, Pres. Cleve-
land merely exercised his CO..,
.stitutional right to withhold
information which in his
Judgment ought not to be
made public, and doubtless
he will explain his reason to
such Senators az may take
the trouble to call ON him.
The republican House was
81 disguSted with a resolu
tion offered for the inpeach-
ment of President Clevelal d
by representative Howard,
Of Ala., that it refused by an
almost unanimous vote. to
give him a hearing on it.
Howard has virtually been
ostracised ever SINCE he be-
came a member of the House
except by his fellow popu-
lists, because of a disgrace
ful book he wrote just before
he became a candidate for
Congress.
The Virginia democratic As
sociation, of Washington, at
it's last meeting unanimously
adopted a resolution endors.
ing Senator Daniel of t h Il t
state for the democratic Vice
Presidential nomination. The
Convention might easily nom
mate a worse nan than Sen.
asor Daniel.
There is food for thought
in the words OF Senator Hill
concerning the probability of
Tariff legislation ut any time
in the near future. He said:
"There will he no tariff legis-
isIatlon in this Congress, or
in an extra session if o n e
should be held, or'ip. the two
years duringswhich the next
