hope republican. By Jay C. Smith. hope INDIANA ''Marry in haste and repent in Dakota,” is the new version of an old '‘saw.” The New York Chamber of Commerce has indorsed the report of its committee favoring National quarantine. I v things don’t suit you, go to work and change them. Roll up your sleeves and proceed to business. With no Presidential election this year to distract the attention, success should follow individual effort hi all lines of industry. In the year 1892 there were 275 Indian schools, having a capacity of 22,000, an enrollment of 19,000 and an average attendance of 1G.000. For the proceeding year the average attendance was 13,588; for the year 1889,11,232; for the year 1888,11,240. The “solid south” comes nearer to being a hard reality this winter than for many years. Northern frost has made a large part of it solid in fact as well as in politics, and the southern people do not accept the last invasion in a much better temper than they did that of thirty years ago. The San Juan River, the scene of the present search for gold, rises in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, runs southwestward into New Mexico and empties into the Colorado River in Utah. The old Californian excitement of 1850 has almost been renewed. Thus far the speculators and provision dealers only have reaped a harvest. The finest varieties of Japanese teas are said to be ruined by a long sea voyage. Experiments are now being made in Florida with fine varieties and there is some encouragement to believe that the growing will prove a success. The climate and soil of Florida seem to be equal to anything, The cocoanut groves were only an accident and yet they are proving a great success. Cholera has uniformly been considered an epidemic for whose development a high temperature was necessary, yet the disease continues to prevail in various European countries while the thermometer ranges in the neighborhood of zero, and frost and snow hold sway while the ravages of the scourge continue to decimate the ill-fed and poorly-clad population of Hamburg and numerous cities in Russia. The European country that hasn’t a crisis on hand is not in it these days. France is still wrestling with a large one, and Germany, not to be outdone by its old-time enemy, comes to the front with a little one and demands the attention of the associated press. The army bill is a pet scheme with the Emperor, and that enterprising young man threatens awful consequences should the Reichstag oppose his will. Germany is agitated over the depute, and the press reports from Berlin will be watched with interest by the reading public. Foreign missionary societies engage the sympathies and absorb the contributions of large numbers of people in the United States, but an almost unlimited field for such humanitarian efforts remains uncultivated —apparently without any organized or even spasmodic labor being done within its boundaries in this direction. In New York City alone, in the 4th and 7th wards with 70,000 population there are but seven churches, and in the 10th ward there are 47,000 population and two churches. Ivi an v distinguished men have had their usefulness impaired by deficient eyesight, both in the past and present. Mr. Gladstone in his early days was threatened with blindness. His sight, however, has improved with age and is now remarkably strong for one so advanced in years. Mr. Goschen, the chancellor of the j in the last administration, | was obliged in 1884 to decline the Speakership of the House of Commons because of near-sightednes.s|| and the late Lord Sherbrooke was left out of Gladstone’s cabinet be-

canse of his having become almost totally blind, while the deceased peer, Sir John Carslake, was stricken with blindness on the eve of his appointment as Lord Chief Justice of England. Miss Mary Martin, of Nashville, is a prominent candidate before the Tennessee legislature for State Librarian. Miss Ahern is also the leading candidate for Che same position before the Indiana legislature. State Librarian Dunn, of the Indiana library, who declines to be a candidate for re-election, says the position is one which can be filled by a woman as well as by a man. Women vote and hold any office in Wyoming. The fair sex seem to be in a fair way to attain equality with the hirsute biped that has monopolized the offices for so long. The student of history will find a lesson in the condition of Portugal, once a great power of the earth now , so small and insignificant as to scarcely attract attention from the most industrious seeker for news of a political character. No country ! in Europe claims less of public at- i tention, and the recent opening of : the Cortez is almost the only inci- j dent that has occurred in that eoun-1 try for ysars worthy of note. The | finances of the of the country are at; a low ebb, and even the royal family aro in comparatively straitened cir- I cumstauces. Modem civilzation owes 1 much to the enterprise of Portuguese sovereigns and the daring of her navigators, but only the past of Portugal stirs the imagination, and her place among the great powers of the world is forever lost. A remarkable table contributed by the women of Dauphin county, Pa., has been completed and for- ; warded to Chicago for exhibition in the Woman’s Building at the World's j Pair. The center piece is of olive wood from the Mount of Olives, : brought to America by a Harris- I burg lady. Around it, m'akibg pan-j els, are pieces of the mulberry tree where John Harris, founder of Harrisburg, was bound by the Indians and was about to bo burned to death; pieces of oak that wore part of the support of Old Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, and also part of the platform, pieces of dark walnut from Old Derry Church; strips of mahogany from the old State House solid mahogany doors; a piece of wood from the house used by Washington as a headquarters at Valley Forge, and a strip from the window sill of the old house in Arch street, in Philadelphia, where the first American flag- was made. The sides and ends are. of exquisitely colored mahogany and the legs, of the same material, are beautifully and skillfully carved. In two of the panels forming the top aro two ivory buttons, wh.ch came from the old line of’ battle-ship Constitution. The “oldest inhabitant” has had his memory freshened by the old style winter which has prevailed throughout the northern “hemisphere for the past month. Ships have steamed laboriously into Atlantic ports, disabled or covered with vast masses of ice, scarred and dismantled caricatures of their real forms, living reminders of man’s power to contend with wind and weaves, and j all the added terrors of the frost king's power. Street travel in the great cities has been impeded, if not entirely suspended, telegraphic communication retarded, railroad trafficdelayed by snow and ice, and navigation on the Great Lakes pursued for a time amidst unheard of perils and finally suspended. It has, indeed been an “old-fashioned” winter, but the discomforts and annoyances that our ancestors had to contend with during an “old-fashioned” winter are not ours. Delay in travel on railway trains docs not mean the hardships that attended an. old-time stage journey in midwinter. Modern improvement has robbed the old-fashioned winter of many of its terrors, and even the mariners whose lot is to buffet the icy waves, undergo less hardships, and the loss of life from the great tempests that have swept the raging main have been very small when compared with the day6 of sailing ’ships, or oven with the early days of steamships. Storm and tempest, ice and snow, in civilized countries add but little to the discomforts of life, and, except to the poor, an “old-fashioned winter” becomes a season of pleasures and rejoicing.

REPLIES TO KOMMUNIKASHUNS. BY JOSH BILLINGS. Xen York Weekly. Copious Fool, —I reseved yuro long and windy letter abowt 5 minims ago, and wil anser it withowt reeding it. Yure hole letter seams to bo devoted to asking questions abowt mi ausesstors. Az near az I kan rekolckt now, mi ansesstors were in the ark with i Noah, and had a private state room, 1 just forward of the wheel-house. I Az a general thing, ansesstors are I not the most profitable topic to brag on, unless yu go back az far az the ark. All the genuine ari§tokratik stock thare iz in the world, at the date ov this letter, cum from the ark. Kehomath Billings is the only one ov mi ansesstors that i always feel like betting on. He waz the author ov “Hi, low, jack and the game” in all its purity.' He waz also the arkitektov thatwonderful saying, which, translated, j reads thus; “The strength ov all | games iz to hold the; best kards and ! then play thenrrite.” The Billings family owe all their I sucksess in life, to their good holts. When a Billings gits a good holt you never see them letting go to spit on their hands. There iz good monkey sense in this. You never see a monkey let go when lie iz on the klimb. OiiEERi ci, Beat —In yure valuable letter of Ocktober 9, yu ask me if there iz enny opening now in Nu York for a yung man ov temperate habits. In repli i am forced tew state that Nu York iz phull ov openings for yung men, menny ov which have but one orifice tew them and that iz j whare yu go in. If yu are getting reliable hash 3 times a day and hav yur washing | and mending done, yu had better ; pause in the country whare yu are. Yu say yu kan turn tew almost | eanythiug; if this iz so, the country I iz just the best place for yu, and the j city just the worst. A man who succeeds in Nu York j iz one who haz got a speciality ov sum kind. If a jack ov all trades cums tew 1 Nu York, ho stands just as bout az ' much chance az a man would in fite- i ing.aswarm ov bees with a pitch- ; fork. Every ben haz got one sting, and he knows just how tew handle it. But if yu have a red-hot speciality i here iz the place for yu. 1 don’t kare what the speciality iz, ; if it iz nothing more than pitching I cents; if yu can just beat enny man I in the world at this game, cum on, i and i will warrant you a job. If yu are known wher&you live az a yang man ov a grate (Seal ov purity ! ov karakter, and but little snap to yu, | mi parental advice to yu would be j tew stay right whare you are, and ; live on yure roputashun.. Poverty in the country iz no joke,; but the wealth and extravaganse ov' a large city iz a continual and merciless insult to me.
