for material advantage. They wish to
be rulers merely for the sake Of ruling,
and OF booking down upon others who,
under the Influence of the old woman's
placid acceptance of an aggressive au-
.thOrity, meekly follow their bidding. :"
But this is what Mrs. Lyon thinks wo-
men ought to be and do: Women Of
this class will doubtless work to get Of
fees, but the grand upward march Of
the sex toward safe and sane de-
mocracy' in its broadcast sense demands
that our leaders and our women Of
prominence should be women of ire
proachable characteristics; virtuous,
with the virtue of genuine goodness;
moral, with the morality that recog-
nizes the rights of others; true, with the
truth that realizes that consideration
and kindness go hand in hand with
power, and capable, with the ability to
lead, to guide, to encourage and to de-
fend. When we shall have arrived at
this stage of the game of woman's prog
ress, and know how to select and elect
our proper standard bearers, we shall
have taken great step in advance, and
gone a great way toward removing
some of the ignobie stains that have
been thrust upon the name of woman.
True as preaching. What fine world
it will be when all the prominent wo-
men are that way, and when all the
women who want to be prominent want
to be prominent in that way.

HARD SHEDDING.

There is no doubt that the ST. Louis
fair is the biggest show of the kind ever
given, but it is having the usual, or
more than the usual, troubles of such
shows. The attendance is not yet what
it was expected to be, or what it ought
to be. 1t is bound to pay the govern
ment the money it borrowed, and it is
having hard work to do that. 1t has also
had to arrange matters with the city
of st. Louis in regard to the restoration
of Forest Park after the fair. The city
council approved the bond on July 90,
when eight of the directors of the
Worlds Fair appeared before the mu-
nicipal body and pledged themselves to
the extent of 100000 for the restora-
ton of the park. The total amount of
the bond accepted by the city is $55O,OOO.
AS surety for the balance of the amount
of the bond the Exposition has given
mortgage on the Palace of Fine Arts
and all its fixtures and appurtenances.
The art palace is a permanent building
of Bedford stone, and is valued at ST.
100000. In the event that the park is
satisfactorily restored the mortgage on
the art palace is to be void.
Although it is confidently expected
that from now on the attendance at the
fair will greatly increase, no surplus
in the treasury at the end is expected.
But though the fair has cost at least
s5O,oOo,OOo and though it. shouldn't pay
expenses, its great educational value
will more than make up for any loss
there may be.

DIszPPoISrED.

Judge Parker was heroic enough to
say gold just before the convention
which nominated him adjourned, but
he apparently didn't think there was
any need Of such heroism in his reply
to the notification committee. Of
course his omission OF gold in his reply
wont offend the Democrats whom his
heroism has offended, but it doesn't
please the sound-money Democrats.
The news comes that the talk in New
York business circles yesterday show
ed that the sound-money Democrats
have been disappointed in the speech.
1t removed the possibility of their go
ing back to their party, and confirmed
them in their opinion that commercial
safety compels them to stand, as they
have for eight years, with the party
that rescued the country from the free
silver peril.
OF course Judge Parker may be bet
ter than his party. But what's the use
of running any of the risks that lie in
voting for him?

THE PASSION FOR RULING.

Judging from some of the Contests"
that have taken place among Daughters
and others, some women seem to be a
little ambitious for place and power.
The editor of the paper called "The
Clubwoman" has noticed this ambition,
and being a woman she can't be accus-
ed of slandering her. own sex. She
says: Zone of the most fascinating
and perilous of the weaknesses to which
women are now exposed is the desire
for power, not for the possibilities of
useful achievement which it offers, but
for the sake of being placed a little
higher than others. Women have not
even, in their desire for leadership, the
somewhat ignoble excuse of personal
gain, since the united efforts of women

THE GARDES oF EDEN.

1t isn't Of much Importance to some
people where the Garden of Eden was.
They want to know where it is and
what their chances for getting a share
in it are. Still there are those who
are interested in knowing where it was
One OF them is Burton r. Sweet of
Iowa, who is talking of running for
Congress. He decided that Eden could
not have been in Asia or Africa, neither
on the Euphrates or the Nile. 1t must
have been located on this continent.
Then he looked for the river that flow
ed through the garden. The Mississippi
seemed to be promising. He saw that
is had three great tributaries, the
Missouri the Platte. and the Ohio. So,
the Mississippi valley must have been
the site of the garden. Getting down
closer to detail. Mr.. Sweet added: l
knew it must be a place where trees,
herbs, and vegetation grew in album
dance. 1t must have been a healthy
and invigorating climate It must be
a place upon which nature had show
cred the benefits and bounties of
heaven. It must be place lit by the
smile Of God. I then turned my at
tention to Iowa-Iowa, magnificent
Iowa, bounded by two mighty rivers.
Surely If there ever was a spot spe-
cially prepared for the abode of man
it is right here in our own State and
county. We have soil from two to
four feet deep which is not excelled
in the world. We have less
waste land than any other State in
the Union. We have building rock
strewn all over our farms in Just the
right amount to meet the demands of
building purposes. A part Of our great
State is underlaid with coal to supply
us with fuel. Each season our farms
are covered with waving golden grain
and with cornf1elds as far as the eye
can reach. And we behold each season
cattle grazing on our thousand hills.
And so forth and so on. Mr.. Sweets
isn't bad. Very likely the
site of the Garden of Eden could be |
discovered in Connecticut if anybody
would look for it as Mr.. Sweet has look |
ed in Iowa.
