From oar Regular CorreipondecL
At last n real, genuine, bo
na tide White House baby!
Xo wonder lnr arrival Sn
Washington on Saturday nT
tcinoon, created n sensation,
causing Congress and its do
i:j for the time forgotten or
ignored. It vnn an histoiie
event that will lw read of
with Interest by yet unboin
generation.1, as the age at
which most men beeomt Pres
ident makes it improbable
that it will beromea frequent
occurrence-. Thi in the first
in the history of the White
House, although there have
been three other births in the
White House; two of them
grand-children of President
Tyler both now living in
Washington and the other
to the w if of Col. Fred Grant.
Mother and daughter are In
good condition and both do
ing well, ami although Presi
dent Cleveland is attending
to business as usual it isprob
able that his thoughts :ften
involuntarily vnnd,r to his
wife and baby, however im
portant the other matters
may be which lie has under
consideration. T h e Cleve
land have had two very un
usual honors in connection
with the White Ilmse. Xo
other President, has ever mar
ried in the White Ibmse and
no other President's wife ev
er gave birth to a child in the
White Hoiik Long life ami
great happiness to Ruth's
sister, the White House ba
by!' , There is to be no cotr pro
mise injjthe Senatorial fight
fiver silver. P. is to be fought
to a fir.ish, President Cleve
land having declared thai he
would a Wept nothing but the
repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver
law without condition. This
is a great, disappointment to
those who have hoped that
some satisfactory arrange
merit would be made that
would get the solid support
of the democratic Senators
and bring the rank an.l file
of the party closer together
than they have been sin ce the
extra session met. The end
of the debate is not yet in
sight, although some Sena
fois believe that a vote can
be reached in two weeks. That
is the doubtful thing. The
vo'te is no longer doubtful.
When it is taken the Vorhees
bill will be passed, but when
that will bedepenrlrJ upon the
endurance and disposition of
the Senators opposed to it.
A very important step was
taken by President Cleveland
when, after a full discussion
of the matter by the cabinet,
he decided that this Govern
ment should proceed with
out waiting for Congress to
take further action, to rigid
ly enforce the Geary anti-Chinese
law. This step would
have been taken before, but
it wos deemed advisable, un
der the circumstances, t o
wait a reasonable time to see
if Congress desired to take
any action on the law( and
also to give the new Chinese
minister an opportunity to
submit any message he may
have been charged with by
his government looking to:
ward the negotiation of n
new und more atifn-tor.v
treaty. Further hnnthe in
troduction nf a bi'l by Sena
tor l)olph appropriating five
hundred thousand dollars to
carry out the provision of the
law, Congress has taken no
tice of it und the Chinese min
ister has done nothing, there
fore the nm ssnry o r d e r s
have been issied by the trea
sury department to put the
law to work. The amount of
money available issmall. but
Congress' is in session. Xo
trouble is expected with Chi
na, although precautions are
hem taken to have a suffi
cient naval force in Chinese
waters to protect American
interests.
The World's Fair souvenir
half-dollars are coming into
tho Treasury for redemption
in such quantities that Sena
tor Morgan has, at the re
quest of Secretary Carlisle,
introduced a bill to repeal so
much of the law of lS79 as
makes it compulsory upon
the Secretary of the Treasu
ry to redeem subsidiary sil
ver coin in Treasury notes,
which is the same a redeem
ing them in gol l. Th Chiea
go banks with which the grea
ter portion of the Columbian
half-dollars were pledged to
secure advances made to the
E .v po s i t i o n m a n a ge r s a re n o w
sending thoseto Washington
for redemption, it having
been impossible to dispose of
them at the expected premi
um. Secretary Carlisle thinks
they would just as well be
put. in general circulation as
piled up in the treasury;
hence the bill to stop their re
demption.
Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means com
mitteewill not be sorry when
the public tariff hearings will
close on Wednesday of this
week. They have produced no
information that, was not al
ready possessed by the com
mittee, and have only served
to keep the . committee from
more important work the
preparation of the reform tar
iff bill. As soon as the hear
ings close, the democrats of
the committee will pu?h the
work without further inter
ruption until it is completed,
as they do not propose to al
low ex-Czar Reed and his re
publican colleagues on t h e
committee to delay matters
by their "funny business."
Treasury receipts ha vo sho .vn
a very encouraging increase
within the last few days, in
dicating that the country is
very rapidly recovering from
its financial fright.
Senator Teller's sensation
al attack upon the press of
the county, in the Senate on
Saturday, is being talked a
bout everywhere, and thegen
era I impression, without re
gard to political opinion, is
t hat he made a serious mis
take. There are, unfortunate
ly, dishonest newspapers, but
they are comparatively few
in number.
The Chicago Herald says
that a gentleman from Rich
mond met Henry WatPrson
on theChespeak & Ohio tlnin
returning from Washington
and asked what was the news
of the national capital. "Oh,
nothing much," replied the
brilliant Kentuckiaii. "There
are only two men in Wash
ington who know all about
the silver question. One is
Stewart, who owns all the sil
ver, ami theother one is Dan
iel of Virginia, who has got
t :e 1 1 ti
Htprful sign.
Fro in many qu.irters come
the oncouragiag news ibat
the manufacturing establish
ments are again resuming op
eratious, after a brief season
of suspension. Some of them
to t sure, are only running
on half time, but the reports
of the reopr ning of mills and
factories have, for the last
week, outnumbered the top
pages of work.
Though the news nf the re
opening of banks isyood, the
number is not equal to that
of the mills and manufactu
ring establishments of the
nation that hae again com
menced operations.
There has been much l ash
misrepresentation to Mie ef
fect of the panic upon the
country. Its disastrous ef
fect was overestimated. E
yen in good years, when no
disaster lsapprehendtd, mills
and factories a re often closed
f.r a time, either for repairs
or because the market is over
stocked or for other sufficient
reasons. But this year a 1 1
these suspensions have been
ignorantly attributed to the
extraordinary condition of
affairs prevailing in the !!
nancial world. It is by these
exaggerated reports that
the actual panic, has been
made much worse than it
otherwise would have been.
One would judge from read
ing a Republican or Third
party paper if he had nootVi
er information on the sub
ject, that such a thing as
stepping a factory, mill or
mine was something un
known before this summer.
But the people know better
an do, also, the editors who
thus Peek to create distrust
and dissatisfaction.
That many banks, business
houses and factories have fail
ed or been temporarily inter
rupted on account of the
stringency in the money mar
ket, is true. But the curren
cy famine cannot last forev
er. The panic will pass, is
now passing. It is time to
stop croaking. No currency
is being destroyed. The ag
gregate is increasing every
da.V. What Congress does
will be the res'ilt of the de
liberations of the combined
and representative wisdom
of the nation. That which is
hid and Unproductive will,
when stability of value is re
stored, reappear .igain. The
Indications are favorable for
the return of prosperity. The
prophets of evil will prave to
be false prophets. Capitalists
and manufacturers will not
always keep their money fas
tened up in order to help pol
iticians make a point. Of
course Congress can do a
great deal to hasten this day
and it must do it. Theudmin
istration is one whose every

('. II. Yatinai'.
Women, 'ike angels, have
specific work. They were
made, thev were born, for a
special sphere. Mar. can no
more fill her niche in the work
world, or home world, than
can the moon give light by
day, to ripen the harvests.
Man has his place here, but
he will never fill it till woman
fills hers. As well ti. to make
bread from stones, as to make
men, iJal men, apart from
the forces God has put in wo
man, to help Mill It?1 what he
ought. Hence, I Iio.v write
unto woman. This is your
lesson, not his.
Outside of God, the Holy
Spirit , t here is u o one s o
good in this old world, as a
good woman. 1 cannot ti ll
what an ange) :-an do here,
but give me my choice, of one
of then1, aiid :l good woman,
and no time' will belostin the
selecting. I choose her. She
can, with the lever and ful
crum of her faith and love,
lift this world nearer God
than any other power outside
of Divine Grace.
And the converse is true. A
bad woman can fling this
orb hellward, with greater
speed than a devil.
What Constitutes o good
woman? She is not good be
cause of the texture of her
garb, or the beauty of her
face, or symmetry of her
form; beauty is only skia
deep; silk can cover sinners
as well as saints. No a wo
man is good, not because of
face or fabric, bat because of
a good heart, Women i s
nineteen twentieths heart,
any way; and if that be good
she is good, and if that be
bad she is bad.
i've sei'n a poor goVii, mid
a very homely f.iee, and a fig
ure twisted somewhat out of
shape; but for miles about
she was spokeofas"thegood
woman" of the village. And
I've seen those who vie with
Venus lor beauty, Und yet
their goodness was greater
than their beauty, and their
spirits liner than the c. i l k
they Wore.
I lea r t hen it t hat is wha t
makes the woman good; a
heart given up to God, re
newed and made so it can
I )ve like God; maybe not as
much, but as like.
See how men will treat a
good woman with every
tliingi see how they will voil
and labor and sweat, just to
please and provide. A. good
woman can make a man al
most what she will. No clay
yields quicker to potter than
man to woman with heart to
brain.
See her influence. W h y,
her sex is her endowment. It
is no single talent, either. Her
presence is power. The-rustle
of her skirts, the presence of
her forno he smile oilier face:
nil have an influence greater
than has been measured by
mortals.
Take the western mining
cainpr Two hundred nun
there, alone; no woman pres
ent, and all know, that in
morals, they fink to the level
of beasts.

But, you put in th ;;n vi!
woman, and though alone
they have sunken to the level
of beasts, yet now they will
r.ink, by her presence, to the
door itself. Thus her power
fot bad.
I haveoften wonderd if Satan
is not a woman la disguise.
On the contrary, when God
himself would enter the
world, to be seen of men mi
door was royal enough for
his cut ranee, save the door
way of manhood; aid wheii
he reveals himself in the
ku;d"st wa.V, l o illustration
will sullire, save bv her; and
thus we have '-"a S otic whom
his mother comfortefh, so
I will comfort you." The
Bible h n s nothing sweeter
than that. That is salvation
in its sweetest shape.
See what the Scripture has
to tell. The greatest gift
named therein, is ii o t b y
prince or king, but by a wo
man. The widowstwo mites
more than others' millions.
She gave all she had. Just
like a woman! When they
give, the.5 give all they have;
seemingly, they don't knoV
any better. I'm glad. It's
just like her. A woman's"
love is no half love, and her
love.
Take a mail and let him
have two mites; he may give
one, but the other he will
kefp for i vestment; not so
with woman.
