Women in Convention.
Some women seem to bo in earnest
in seeking to hold the reins of polit
ical power and authority. Some of
that semi-masculine sex, termed tho
“National Woman’s Suffrage Asso
ciation of tlie United States" met In
Washington, on tho 26th of March,
to celebrate tho 40th anniversary of
the first Woman’s Rights convention.
The meeting was held in Albrough’s
grand opera house. Thoy were, cer
tainly, in earnest, for it was a very
cold and rhiny day. At 10:30, Susan
B. Anthony, vice president, called
the convention to order. There were
seated upon the stage something
over a hundred delegates from na
tional woman’s rights and kindred
societies, not only in this but other
countries. About thirty associations
of this character, wore represented
in council which is, probably the
largest gathering of notable women
in the history of this country. Among
the ladies seated upon the stage, were
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B.
Anthony, Lucy Stone, Matilda Jos-
lyn Gage, May Wright Sowell, Clara
B. Colby, Elizabeth Breuton Harbet,
Julia Ward Howe, Clara Barton,
Frances E. Willard and many others
who were pioneers in the cause of
woman’s suffrage. Elizabeth Stan
ton delivered the address of welcome
and reviewed, at some length, the
history of the suffrage movement.—
We give a very brief outline of tho
main pointsof her address. The ob
ject, she stated, yas to celebrate the
4()th anniversary of the first organiz
ed demand ever made by woman for
the right of suffrage. Initiative steps
were taken in my native state, she
said, in 1848. Tw r o conveentions were
held in New York, and the same
ear tho married women's property
bill passed the legislature. She went
on to state that advanced legislation
was adopted in Ohio, Indiana, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and other
States, Thus started, she said, the
greatest movement for human liber
ty recorded on the pages of history,
the demand for freedom to one-half
of the entire race. The key-note
struck in this country in ’48, has
been echoed round the world and to
say we celebrate our fortieth anni
versary in person or by letter, from
nearly every state in the Union, and
from Great Britain, France, Finland,
Italy, Sweden, India, Denmark and
Norway. The wdrld, she said, is my
country, and all mankind my coun
trymen—is the motto that cannot be
echoed and re-echoed round the
globe too often to keep our sympa
tliies alive to the wail and war of the
human race.
This is certainly a vast field for the
wail and the war of the women, and
we feel sure tho distinguished lady
overdraws the picture in her excited
imagination.
She adds—our laws and constitu
tions, our creeds and codes, and the
customs of social life, are all of mas
culino origin. Tho free woman is
is yet, a dream of the future. All
this work referred to is the testimony
which man has paid to woman’s su
premacy, virtues and charms. To
make her a voter, a ■ law-maker, or
invest her otherwise, with onerous
public duties, would be to make her
comparatively a slave. It would
certainly overtask her. Female gov
ernment, as it is, makes her the pre
cious .idol of her home, add to it the
voter and the law-maker, fill woman’s
mind with crude and turbulent spec
ulations, in other words, make her a
politician, and all the refined and
delicate sensibilities of her nature
will be commingled with cunning,
stratagem and insolence on the one
hand or discreditable servility on the
other. Let her remain as she la
the beloved companion, the careful
teacher and protector of her children,
unsullied partner of her husband, the
rose, the queen and the joy of the
household.
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine
Republic, is now the largest city in
South America, the census of 1887
giving it a population of 434,000. The
population of the entire country has
increased 175 per cent, in the last
twenty years, while that of the Uni
ted States in the same peroid of time
has imereased only 79 per sent.

Washington, April 2nd, 1888.
Editors Union Rkcordkr:
Revenue reform lias made some per
ceptible headway during the past
week. It looks now as if the Mills
tui iff bill stood a good chance to pass
the House. The Improvement in the
outlook is not owing to any conver
sions having been made among the
democratic followers of Mr. Randall—
they are still ns obstinate as the one
man who abused the other eleven on
the jury because they would not agree
with him,—but is owing principally
to a revolt in the republican ranks,
against the high protection policy.
This revolt is led by Mr. Nelson, of
Minnesota, who made one of the
strongest revenue reform speeches yet
heard in the House, Thursday. He
went over tho whole question in a
masterly manner; he favors tiie re
tention of the internal revenue taxes,
and a gpneral lowering of the tariff.
In regard to high wages and high
tariff, he said: "It has been the fash
ion to ascribe the higher wages of
this country to the tariff. I consider
that a false pretense. England has
free trade, while Austria, Germany,
Italy, anil France have protection,
and yet wages are much higher in
England than in either of the other
countries. The main cause of the low
wages in Europe, is to be found in the
density of population, and greater
supply of labor.” It iH thought that
the number of republicans who prac
tically agree with Mr. Nelson, is large
enough to ensure the passage of the
Mills bill, if they do not allow them
selves to be whipped back into the
party traces.
The report of the majority of the
ways and means committee on the
Mills tariff bill, which has been pre
maturely made public, though it 1ms
not been yet presented to the House;
is an able document, and should be
spread broadcast among the people.
It will doubtless make many conver
sions to revenue reform.
The President went to New York
Friday, to attend the funeral of Ex-
Governor Dorsheimer.
Today was the eighth and last day
of the International Council of YVo-
men. It has been a great success in
every respect.
The funeral of the late Chief Justice
YVaite, in the Hall of the House of
Representatives, on YVednesday last,
was largely attended.
The bills pensioning Mrs. Gen. Lo
gan and Mrs. Gen. Blair have passed
the House. They got $2,000 a year.
The naval board of coaNt defenses
organized last year, are to be called
upon to investigate the matter of de
fenses. There is an appropriation of
$2,000,000 available for this work, and
Secretary YVliitney is anxious that it
should he judiciously used.
Gen. Terry lias applied to the Secre
tary of War to be examined for retire
ment. Bad health is the reason.
It is extremely doubtful whether
the present House will ever vote to
repeal the limitation clause—limiting
the time to July 1, 1880, as tho latest
date for filing claims under the ar
rears of pension act of 1870. There
are several bills of this nature before
the House committee on pensions. A
sub-committee has been appointed to
consider them, and report to tlie full
committee. Gen. Black, Commission
er of Pensions, estimates that it will
require between $200,000,000and $300,-
000,000 to pay all the claims for ar
rears of pensions, should the limita
tion clatise be repealed.
The republicans of the Senate are
in a badly demoralized condition.
They held a caucus Thursday, in or
der to endeavor to bring about party
liarmony, but it was a very bad fail
ure. The caueus was called to act on
the bill authorising the Secretary of
the Treasury to purchase U. S. bonds,
which baa passed the House, and is
now before the Senate. Senator Stan
ford and several others announced
that they would not be bound by cau
cus action on this or any other finan
cial measure. The caucus, after ap
pointing a committee of eleven to ar
range the order of business, and re
port the same to another caucus to be
held this week, adjourned.
Public Printer Benedict is now
strictly enforcing the eight hour law
in every department of the Govern
ment Printing Office. The force is

tin* other beginning at 5 p. in,, and

all.
It is not believed that a Chief Jus
tice will he appointed for some time
to come, possibly not until after the
summer recess of the Supreme Court.
It is still thoqglit by those who should
know, if anyone other than Mr. Cleve
land does, that Speaker Carlisle or
postmaster General Dickinson will get
tiie appointment. But of course that
does not prevent the names of other
gentlemen being mentioned. YVlio-
ever it wifi he, the appointment is
sure to reflect honor on Mr. Cleve
land and the Democratic party.
THE COLONEL WAS COMPLI
MENTED.
A Character Sketoh—Painted From
Real Life.
Col. Gilmore, the planter, was
standing in ills yard when Jasper Col
lins, an old negro who rented a few
acres of tiie colonel's plantation, came
up and witli a great flourish of cour
tesy said:
“W’y good niawuiu' col’n; good
inawnin’. Neber did see er man look
so young an’ fresh. Cla’ fo’ goodness
I thought you wm some young
man standin’ out yere, haw, haw.
How’s limes wid you, col’n?”
“Very good Jasper.”
“Yus, sail, an’ I thanks you, I does,
case I alius likes ter know dftt yon’s
doin’ well. I come up, suit, ter tell
you er piece o’ news. Got de finest
boy down ter my house you eber
seed."
“You don’t say so.”
"Y’es I does, sail; yas I does. Fines’
hoy I eber seed, an’ I is er jedge o’
cliildrun, caze I’se been er mixin' up
wid'ui fur er mighty iaung time.
W’y, Hah, w’en I lef home jes now ilat
chile wuz 'lyin’ dar tryin’ ter tar de
quilt, an’ blame ef I didn't think lie
gwine do it. he so straung an' peart.
I didn’ think tiie Lawd gwine to faber
me wid secli er clille ez dis in mer ole
age. Col’n w’ut yon reckon Use named
dat uionstus fine chile?”
“I have no ideu,” tiie colonel re
plied.
“YV’y sail, I’se named him after
yose’f. Yas I lias, col’n; yas I lias.
Named him atter yose’f cflze lie so
bright an’ smart. S’l, ‘Judy’—dat!s
i»er wife—‘I doan kere ef you does
wanter name dis yere chile atter de
gubner o' dis yere state, caze you ui
ter long ter liim; I gwine name him at
ter Col’n Gilmo,’ ilat’s wa’t I’se gwine
ter do. I knows dat de gubner mout
be diserpinted, but I kain’t lie’p dat,
for I doan’ think it’s no mo’ den right
ter name de brightes’ chile in de lan
atter be brightes’ man, an’ sides dat,
the col’n lie gwine ter be the gubner
o’ dis yere state one deze days. Mine
w’at I tells you now caze I’se beam
folks er talkin.’ Den *mer wife she
say, ‘Jasper, I knint lie’p but beliebe
w’at you 6ays. I knows dat I’se
niigbt’ly ’tacked ter de gubner o’ dis
yere state, caze I uster long ter him,
but I knows dat de col’n is zervin’ o’
dis compertuen, an’ now I'll jiue ban's
wid you an' we'll name dis yer bright
chile after dat bright man.’ It was
all settled right dar, sab, an' de chile
wuz named alter you.”
“Jasper," the colonel replied, "lot
me assure you that I appreciate the
compliment.”
“I know'll you do that sail, ’deed I
did. YVall, I must be gwine. I got
ter go down yere now and chop
enougli wood ter buy dat chile some
close. YVe’se mighty po’ down ter
mer house. YVush I did hab er about
$10 ter fix dat chile up. It’s awful ter
let sich er bright chile ez dat go wid-
out close. By der way, col’n, kain’t
you let me have $10 to fix dat inon-
stus boy up."
“Of course I can,” the colonel re
plied, as he took out his pocket-book.
“Here is a $10 note, old man. Take
it and get what the boy needs and if
you have any money left buy some
thing for your wife.”
“Thankee, sab, thankee, kain’t
hardly see you fur dese yere tears o’
gratitude. Ob, sah, dis will be a hap
py day in my po’ house. Thankee,
sah, thankee. Leinuie git er way
from yere fur I doan’ want dis bright
pusson ter see w’at er weak ole man
I is.”
Several days later while the colonel
■ "W’y, 1 ain’t got no chile, col’n.”
“What, haven't ydu a baby at your
house?” |
“Oh, go on wrd you, col’n. YVhat
you wanter come talkin’ ter me dat
way for?” Hhe took her bonnet by
the strings and playfully struck at
the colonel. Come talkin’ ter me dat
way w’en mer youngest chile is plow
in' out yonder In de flel’. Go on, I
tell you (noticing the strange ex
pression on the colonel’s face.) Ef
you keeps on lookin’ at me dat way
I'll holler, sho.”
"YVhere Is Jasper, Aunt Judy?”
"Don’t know, sah, but I reckon de
trilling scoundrel is out in de woods
gamblin’ wid dem niggers.”
The colonel went into the woods.
He saw several men throwing dice in
the great game of craps. He ap
proached cautiously.
Jasper was kneeling on an old door
which the negroes had ta]fen Into the
woods.
Come bone six,” exclaimed^asper,
as he threw the dice; and then seeing
the colonel, he swept the dice off the
board, put them into his pocket,
jumped up and said:
“YV’y, yere’s de col’n. Come out
yere, we did, sah, ter rig up some
plan to ketch dem moles dat’s rootin’
de co’n bodatlously up, an’ we gwine
ter ketch ’em, too. See ef we doan'.”
How is your bright child, Jasper?”
the colonel asked.
‘Monstus well, sah; monstus. Nev
er did see slch er well chile ez he is.
Oh, you aiu’ gwine ter be ashamed o’
him, sah, you ain’ for er fack.”
He hasn’t torn the quilt yet, has
he?” “Yas he has, sah; yas he has..
Se tin' in de house dis mawnio.’ 1
wuz, an’ on er suddent I hearn Buttlin'*
go ‘rlpp-r-r-r-rlp, rip,’ an’ I looked
round,’ sah, an’ dar fo’ de Lawd d&t
chile had dun tore dat ({(lilt all ter
pieces. YV’at you think o’ er chile
like dat?”
“A very remarkable child, I must
say. But you haven’t heard the lat
est news from hhu. I met your wife
just now and she told me that her
youngest boy was out In the field
plowing.”
The old negro clapped one hand on
his right hip, drew up his leg, griuued
hi a manner and said:
“Got de rheuiuatiz so bail 1 doan
know w at I’se doin’ lia'f de time. Oh,
Lawd, I'doan’ blebe I gwine lib but
er little w'ile longer. Goes roun' de
neighborhood sometimes anil doan’
know wliat I'se been talkin' about."
He leaned against a tree and
screwed up his face into an expressioil
of pretended misery.”
“Jasper,” said the colonel, “my
well needs cleaning out, arid there
fore 1 am sorry for you, for, not be
ing ubie to do the work you will be
compelled to repay that $10 or go to
the penitentiary.”
“I'se gittin' er little better now.
sab. Yas, sail. I'll go ober an’ clean
out de well. Glad ter be able ter
oouierdate you, sail.”—Opie Read in

The Advantages of Rest.
Nineteenth Century.
There is no better preventive of ner
vous exhaustions than regulur, un
hurried, muscular exercise. If we
could moderate our hurry, lessen our
worry and increase our open air exer
cise, a large proportion of nervous dis
eases would be abolished. For those
who cannot get a sufficient holiday
the best substitute is an occasional
day in bed. Many whose nerves are
constantly strained in their daily' avo
cation have discovered this for them
selves. A Spanish merchant in Bar
celona told his medical men that he
always went to bed for two or three
days whenever he could be spared
from his business, and he laughed at
those who spent holidays on toilsome
mountains. One of the hardest work
ed women in England, who has for
many years conducted a large whole
sale business, retains excellent nerves
at an advanced age, owing, it is be
lieved, to her habit of taking one day
a week in bed. If we cannot avoid
frequent agitation we ought, it posi-
ble, to give the nervous system time
to recover itself between the shooks.
Even an hour’s seclusion after a good
lunch will deprive a hurried, anxious
