CABINET W0MEN'S TASK.
HEADS OF OFFICIAL SOCIETY
Public Receptions Once Week to Al Who Care to Attend.--No Democratic
 or Republican Salons.
Chicago Times-Herald.

Chicago Tines-Herald.
 All eyes are now turned toward Wash ington and the coming inauguration of President-elect Mckinley. Comparisons are already being drawn between the re- | spactive attractions of the wives of the cabinet officers of President Cleveland and these that are so soon to fill their l places. Few people have any definite idea of the arduous duties of the official women. A writer in the New York Tribune asserts that the position of the wife of a cabinet officer is no sinecure, but onerous and exacting. The honor and distinction which the position con- l fers are correspondingl great, and are, perhaps, an offset.
 There is an unwritten law that the i cabinet shall lead in official society It ] is a position accorded in by both the l senate and supreme court, although these | bodies take official and social preced- l encs of the presidents advisers. There is 1 among the members of the cabinet an l esprit du corps. possibly because of the snlalness of it's numbers, their political affiliatIon and their ambition to contrib ! ute in every possible way to the success | of tfls administration of which they are | a part. They are, in a word. the of ] ficial family of the executive. There are no democratic or republican salons; there ! Is no diplomatic clique. There is what might be called a smart set,'' which l draws it's members from the various elements of society. But with cliques or sets the cabinet has nothing to do. In social affairs 1t must maintain a strict neutrality
 It is democratic body in an emphatic sense, and it has rarely been criticised for any attempts at exclusiveness. It's doors once a week are thrown wide and hospitably open. and whoever will can enter. The immense crowds that throng the cabinet houses on reception days are orderly and well behaved The public receptions are by no means the only duty peculiar to a binet place, but one of many. The calls received must all be acknowledged in some way. Formerly 1t was the custom, to return these visits iIr person. but this Involved ceaseIess labor. and frequently an afternoon would be spent in fruitiess search for an address in some obscure part of town. This was finally proved impracticable, and now all

on the 1st of August, as was in
tended. The fault does not lie
in the Comptroller Generals of
flee but in getting the county
boards to follow the letter of the

had to be returned because thev
were not made out according TO

such cases, where the rolls are

properly made out the money
will be distributed.

What islmoney? a creation of

law.
Would either gold or silver be
money if there was no Law max
ing them such? No; they would
be no more money than lead, IRON
paper, or any other commodity.
Il neither gold nor silver we're
used as money in any part of the
world would they be worth the
same as they are now! No:
neither OF them would bo worth
live per cent. of their present
value. With fifty years of sup.
ply on hand the demand for them
for other purposes would not
make them worth ten cents
pound avolrdupois.
What does the stamp on gold
or silver or paper which passes as
as money signify? 1t signifies
the Will OF the sovereign power of
the government authorizing the
stamp or superScriptlon which
appears on the gold, silver, or pa
per. and also designates the num-
Der OF units or parts of UNITS of
account which the particular
piece OF gold or silver represents.
Did any country ever use anv
gold or silver in war where the
existence of the nation was in
volved? We know of but one
Instance where such was the case.
Germany in the Franco-Prussian
war continued to use silver sup
plemented by paper and did not
suspend specie payment during
the war.
Was gold ever used as a me-
dunn Of exchange during any
great war of the great commerce
ial nations of Europe? 1t never
was. Every great nation has
been compelled, with the single
exception of Germany, in the
nco-Prnssian war which used
silver, to suspend specie payment
and use paper TO designate the
will of the sovereign power of the
nation.
III nations in great emergen-
cles, such as war, are compelled
to stamp the fiat of the govern
ment on paper to prevent dissolu.
ton and destruction, why NAV
not that be done in time of peace
to rescue the country from uni.
versal distress? There would be
no difficulty in the exercise of
the sovereign power OF the gov
ernment to create money in times
OF peace as well as war if money
dealers and usurers did not get
control of all governments IN
times of peace.
For whose benefits the United
States confined 10 the use of one
commodity, gold, upon which to
stamp Its paramount authority

the sole and exclusive benefit of
those who own that commodity

they are opposed to "Bryanism." "
These men must be either igno-
rant of what Mr. Bryan advo-
Gates, or they do not mean what
they say.Mr Bryan made the most
brilliant canvass ever made in
America in advocating the prin
ciples OF the Chicago platform.
The Republicans and gold men
denounced the platform as Pop
ulistic and anarchistic because it
affirmed most of the principles
contended for by the Populists
and other independent organi-
cations seeking relief from the
intolcrable evils Of the gold stand
ard. The opponents Of Bryan
have seemed all along TO contound
HIM with set Of men who en-
tertain principles directly antag
onistic 10 those he maintains.
They speak Of the wickednesS of
the Democratic party under
the Clevelands. Carlisles. the
Hills and the Bayards, rs if the
sins of these enemies of justice

could be charged to sBryan and
his associates. They ignore the
fact that the Democratic leaders
whom they denounce were also
denounced by the Chicago con
vention and metaphorically kick
ed out of the councils of the party
which supports Bryan and the
Chicago platform.
We are very much gratified that
the wicked element of the Dem.
ocratic party which madeit obi
Gus because of its dishonest sub
serviency to an English gold syn
dicate, has taken the name of
national Democracy" to distin-
guish it from pure Democracy as
taught by Jefferson and Jackson.
The disreputable ard malicious
band who followed Cleveland in
to the servitude of an English
gold syndicate, and plunged the
country into over two hundred
and sixty millions of debt for the
benefit of gold gamblers, is doing
the country some service now
by holding goldbuS conventions
in the various states to advertise
that they are the men who have
assisted the Republicans to fasten
the gold standard and corrupt
methods of administration upon
the United States, and that they
are willing to continue to co OPP
crate with the Republican party
or any other party that will do
the bidding of stock iobbers and
gold gamblers and make the few
rich at the expense of the many.
The stock jobbing of Cleveland's 5
immediate associates, the great
wealth of the pool, including the
stuffed prophet himself, show the
villainouS methods which have
been pursued in the past by
Cleveland's new national goldbug
democracy, and the willingness
OF that democracy TO cOnIinup in
