"I'm now trying to decide the most
troublesome case That ever came within

continued. II have long insisted that my
wife could get along with the servants it
she only used tact and was equitable In
all her rulings. Her mother Is an invalid
in the house and innooently responsible
for the case now under consideration.
"The other morning while dressing for
breakfast I was startled by crash OF
orockery and a chorus of screams. Into
my room rushed the children. Jimmy's

cut over Tommy's eye, Mamie had an
angry scratch on her cheek, and Elsie was

been coming up stairs with an invalid's

REBUKE TO THE DODGERS.

Representative Cousins, of Iowa, has
the courage and the honesty to introduce
q bill in the House which provides THAT
the standard OF value in the United
States is the standard gold dollar Of 256
grains of gold nine-hundredths fine
We are not surprised that this bill
should have emanated from the State of
Iowa. for in the last campaign the Re
publicans of that State determined that
they would dodge this question no longer,
but would come out boldly for the gold
standard and make their fight on that
issue They did so, and they won great
victory. and now a representative of the
party from Iowa proposes that Congress
shall be equally courageous.
We hail this new departure with pleas
ure, and we sincerely hope that the bill
will pass. There has been too much here
tofore of lodging and too little of honest
and courageous expression on this sub
ject This country IS on a gold basis
and the gold dollar is our standard of
value. and any sort Of circumlocutiOn
which would becloud the fact is political
cowardice, which deserves. as it receives,
the contempt of all honest men.

CONGRESS AND BUSINESS.

1t IS said that the stock market sold OF
on Monday because wall street people
are always timid when Congress meets
fearing that something will be done by
that body to hinder progress.
That is a terrible Indictment Of the
lawmakers Of the country. They are sent
to Washington 90 take care of the inter-
ests of the people and. as far as the gov
eminent Is authorized TO do so. to en-
act such laws as will promote the gene
raj welfare. But IL is a lamentabie fact
that the reverse Is often true. Whenever
Congress attempts 10 NEEDLE with the
business affairs Of the country st Is al
most sure 10 DO more harm than good
The general business OF the country Is
now in a prosperous condition. Our eX'
port trade IS unprecedented and grow
ing all the time railroad earnings show
a steady increase: bank clearings are the
largest ever known, and if Congress Will
only hold its hands of and let the bust
ness Of the country be governed by the
laws Of trade without the interference of
statutory laws. the good work Will 90 o..
and we shall enjoy a season of great pros
perity. But If Congress is going to agi-
tate and make war on capital and at
tempt to retard progress Tor the sake OF
Catering to a certain vote. the busines
of the country will inevitably suffer.
Whatever may be said about Wall street
the men who operate there are the
shrcwdest business men on the face Of the
earth and watch business conditions with
hawks eye. They have had experience
with Congress before and we'll may they
feel timid when that body is IN session
Tor nobody knows what capers II Will
cut. We do sincerely hope however
that the conservative element will have
the good sense to see that the best thing
that Congress can do at this time is to let
business alone.

No fearful change nor sudden wonder,
Nor sink the weight of mystery under

BAILEY AND THE WOOL SCHE'
DUIE.

Referring TO the statement OF Mr.. NC
Millin that Congressman Bailey voted To
tax raw wool, We submit that N oonis
so Mr.. Bailey did not depart from the
great Democratic principle as some OF our
oontemporalies are charging. Free raw
material Is utterly Inconsistent with inc
Democratic doctrine Of tariff -for-revenue
only. To admit raw wool free OF duty
and TO levy high protective tariff ON
the manufactured article, Is doubly 10
discriminate in favor of the manuiac-
u,rers as against the wool grower Dem
ocrats hold that taxation should be equal
and uniform: That all articles entering
the ports of this country, with few ex-
oeDtions. which do not violate the prln-
ciple. should pay a uniform rate OF taxa
ton. and they are not averse to any in
cldental protection" that may accrue to
the American producer by reason Of a
bona fide revenue tariff. II the manufac-
turer can get any benefit out of suen
a tariG he Is welcome 10 1t, but we insist
thai the farmer. the man who produces
the wool. is entitled TO the same benefit.
II is manifestly unjust 10 the farmer TO
force him to sell his wool In competition
with the world and yet to purchase his
woollen goods from the protected manu-
facturer at protection prices. It's poor
rule that don't work both ways
Whatever may be said against Mr..
Bailey, and he Is certainly rot friend
of The Times. it must be admitted. and
we have before called attention TO the
tact, that Mr.. Belley Is by nature and by
