The remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—and it has proved itself the right remedy in nearly every case of female weakness. It is not a miracle.

HOW A MEASURE MAY KEACH 4 VOTE WITHOUT BEING TALKED TO DEATH IN THE SENATE— OTHER LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AT THE CAPITOL YESTERDAY. The Senate, or rather the republican side thereof, has taken a decisive step toward clos- ing debate on any question which may drag | itself out toa wearisome length. For months past the political air has been more or less charged with ideas and threats of a cloture rule and at last the rule has materialized. Senxtor Aldrich, from the committee on rales, reported | the resolution yesterday afternoon, as was stated in The Stax. The text isas follows: Resolved, That for the remainder of this or resolution nder conside shall be in order for that delate thereon rhall be clo: dema debute shall be in order ing euch demard no other motion ex On such | d pend- = one} motion to zdjourn hall be made. if such de- | «i be seconded by a majority of the Sena- | shall forthwith be | If the Sen: | me debate | on apy Dill, renolution or other quextic the measure shall take precedence of all other | business whatever, and the question shal! be oa | all pending amendments, if any are then pend- | ing. and upon the measure in its successive | stages according to the rules of the Senate, but without further debate except that every Senator wuo may desire shall be permitted to speak upon the ineasure, ineiuding all amend- ments, not more than once, and not execeding thirty tes.

Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana introduced in the House yesterday a resolution instructing the committee on banking and currency to | bring in a bill providing for such an increase of the legal tender currency of the country the present supply of mone: and that being coined ander ex- isting laws, will inerease the volume of mone to an amount equal to #50 per capita of popu- lation. A preamble to the resolution says that the present remarkable stringency in the money market of the United States is produc- | tive of widespread business elarm, causing a want of confidence, a stagnancy in busines#, a shrinkage in values and an unsettled and un- le feeling in agricultural, commercial and financial circles geuerally. In conclusion the preamble says that for the first time in the his tory of the country it has been impossible in many parts of the south to obtain advances of as $10 a bale on cotton—a crop which | ing to thread in | die | observation, [have found ten women as wi THE EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM. The Duty of Parents to Frovide Practical Training for Their Children. Every person of intelligence has read, proba- bly, without fally comprehending the import of its language, the statement found in many of the old-time readers: “We must educate; we must educate, or we must perish.” Conceding the full significance of the word educate, we must ad- mit the truth of the proposition. It becomes then both prophecy and a pregnant warning of danger. Along this line we meet the two extremes of the province and purpose of education. They are extremes becanse they involve, measura- biy, the impracticable, and suggest danger to the reilecting. I know of no better presenta- tion of these extreme views, the Scylla and Charybdis of all educational activity and prog- ress, than found in the writings of two men of tural enduwments but wholly citfer- nt in tke polish afforded by the schools, Dean Swift and John Brown. SWIFT'S PICTURE. In his “Gulliver's Travels” the dean describes the grand academy of Lagado on the island of Laputa ¥o vividly that his language looks prophetic of some of our modern sys f education of the purely theoretical cal kind. In his tour of observa a Pree for extracting sunbeams acumbers, which he intended to put | into vials hermetically sealed and release them, ! x uccessity required, on raw summer days, to warm the frigid atmosphere.

Others were vainly try isible ueedles with invisible thread. ‘The picture which Swift presente Ho graphically may be studied by us as affording ap eloquent commentary upuu much of our edu- on that looks ward the side of mental discipline for its own wake. JO“N LROWN'S VIEWS. ‘The other extreme, the simple bread and but- ter side, is presented in the letters which John Brown wrote to his wife during the period of his incarceration in the Charlestown jail in 1859. With the realities of a certain death im- pensting he bud little disposition to theorize pat looked carefully to the means which would enable his danghters to struggle successfully | for jexistence “in an unfriendly and jostlives world.

NEARLY A HUXDRED VETERANS OF THE UXION ARMY AND NAVY SIT DOWN IN THE RIGGS HOUSE DINING ROOM—THE NEW OFFICERS IX- STALLED—PATRIOTIC TOASTS AND RESPONSES, The twelfth annual banquet of the Union Sol- diers’ Alliance was held at the Riggs House last night. The occasion was one of the most en- joyable in the history of the organization, eighty-four of the one hundred members being seated along the long tables, besides the follow- ing invited guests: Gen. W. G. Veazey, com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public; E. W. Halford, private secretary to the President; Maj. W. H. Powell, U. 8. A.: Gen. James N. Patterson, second auditor of the Treasury Department; Mr. Wm. M. Henry and Mr. Chas. F. Mille. ‘The menu was all that could be desired and the cartoon by Mr. E. H. Klemroth, which has always been a souvenir feature of these ban- quets, was more than usually attractive, both as to subject and excellence of artistic work. The president of this year, Mr.’ Abraham Hart, presided until the dinner was about half over, when the officers elected to serve during 1891 were called to their places. They are as follows: President, Alex. F. McMillan; first vice president, Chas. P. Lincoln; second vice president, Wm. G. Moore; third vice president. Bernard tT. Janne .. Heupel; ollette; treasurer, proctor, Edgar H.-Klem- committee, Abraham Hart. Fred W. Mitchell, John Cameron; arbitration committee, Rernard T. Janney, Chas. Lowell, James L. Davenport. THE TOASTS AND SPEECHES. President McMillan made a brief address, which was exceedingly well received, and then, when the coffee and cigars were served, came the regular toasts and responses, which were as follows: “The President of the United States,” by Hon. Samucl N. Halliday, commissioner of enstoms; “The volunteers und kindred eo- cities,” Col. A.8. Worthington; “The capital of the nation,” Col. W. G. Moore: “Women,” Gen. 8. 8. Burdett; “Our comrades living, Hon. Charles P. Lincoin: “Twenty-nine yeats ago—first gun at Sumter,” 8. H. Merrill. A toast to “Our gallant dead” was drunk stindizg and in silence. The speeches were all above the average postprandial eloquence, those of Col. Worthington and Col. Lincoln being filled with loyal, patriotic fervor, while Gen. | Burdett’s noble tribute to the support given the government by the noble women of the north during the dark days of the late war clicited the wildest enthusiasm. Happy speeches wore also made by Gen. Venzy und Mr. Malford, the latter referring especially to the patriotic feclings which the stars and citizen of the republic. The success of the banquet was due to the ompleteness of all the details and this was ef- fected by the following committee of arrange- ». A. Bartlett. chairman; Sam'l C. O. 8.

TRE HOLIDAY SPIRIT ABROAD— POCKET BOOKS OPEN AXD ARMS FILLED WITH BUXDLES—8OME OF THE REFLECTIONS OF THR HOUR—SCEXES IN ‘THE BUSINESS SECTIONS OF THE CITY. If there is aay one who does not realize that Christmas is here it must be because such a per- son has been secluded or has chosen retired streets when abroad. No one that has mingled in the crowds that swarm up and down the ave- nue and along F strect and 7th street and other streets in the business centers of the city can fail to catch something of the holiday feeling that is in the It is the animating principle | of all this life and movement. People leave their regular occupations and devote their en- tire time to shopping. They rush from store to store, and the depleted stock of the mer-| chants is convincing evidence that something | is accomplished by this bustling, hurrying | throng. “Aw might naturally be inferred by wome failelees foreigner to whom Christinas is an unknown holiday, all this cudden interest in | shopping indicates that Christmas is a kind of an arbitrary holiday, and its exact date is made known with only a few days’ notice. A contrast in the appearance of our ‘business streets. this week with thas of last week seems to contirm this theory. There were no such crowds in the streets and in the tores.a few days ago,and hence it might reasonably be inferred that peo- ple did not know that Christmas was coming. PUTTING THINGS OFF. Whatever conclusions the foreigner might Teach the facts are undisputed and everybody knows that every one puts off the preparation for Christmas until the last few days. Ax a re- sult the entire town is poured out ever the businces sections of the city and the merchants are plunged into the midst of a rush of trade that fairly makes their eyes beam. Every re- source of a business establishment is taxed to mect the demand, and how well it is all done in spite of difficulties is ereditabie to the execu- tive management of those at the head of the #8 houses of this city. Why people who know that Christmas is caming:as sure ax the 25th of December rolls | agpund delay their preparations until the | last | uute.js-one of those perplexing problems ‘which romain unsolved, PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T DO IT. Of course there are people, and a very supe: rior air they have asa rule, not only at Christ mas time but all the year around, who are wont | to tell their friends that they made their pur- | chases weveral weeks “It ix so much bet- | ter,” they add in an Fiffel tower tone, “to do | your Christmas shopping early and then you id the crowd and have the pick of the It isa significant fact, however, that formation ix usually imparted in a crowded store or street right in the midst of the Christmas battle. “Oh! no,” they are heard to say, “Iam not here shopping. “I got through several ‘wocks ago, but thotight tint | I would come out and attend to some odds and ‘This latter duty requires several hours for several days, a 2 rule, and friends ier why they don't do their shop, Christmas week and attend to the odds and ends early in the full. THE GREAT MAJORITY. However, admitting for the sake of argu- ment that some other time than Christmas week is the best time to shop, yet the fact re- mains that the vast majority of people in this particular, as well as in others of greater im- portance, don't always do the best thing. ‘The result is that the streets are filled with buay things und the stores are ko crowded that it is dificult to get in and when you are in it is hard to get out. But still people some how or other manage to get around these difficulties and they attend to the business of the hour and toward evening they find their way home laden down with packages. CARRYING BUNDLES. It is a great time for packages. Usually prescribed by the mandates of polite society, during Christmas week the brown paper pack- age inallowed to show itself on the public streets and may be seen nestling againet seal- skins und silks and all sorts of fine clothes that fine ladies wear, and there is no one to make unkind remarks. A great deal pleasanter it must be to be carried home in this vay than to be thrown in the dark recesses of an old store wagon and to be delivered at th» basement door. Whatever aristocratic propensities a brown paper package has, and there is no rea- son to suppose that it has not aspirations, they are not allowed to be indulged except during the holiday season. ‘Then, as every one knows, it is no disgrace to be ween on the streets car- | GROUNDS AND PLAYERs. ‘Two Things That Are the National Club. ‘The base ball managers of Washington have rather suspended operations for the Christmas Season. The efforts to secare grounds have | been laid aside for holiday matters, and there are no particular signs of life in the projectors of the coming National Club. That is to be its name, by the way, whatever may be its league or association, for there is a superstition in the | minds of the stockholders that Washington never did so well in base ball as when its club bore the name of National. Until the Ist of | January all base ball matters will be dead, but the advent of the new year will infuse the liveliest kind of life into it ail over the coun- try. The cause of the revivitication will be the t conference meeting to be held in New York during the first week of 189i, when the status of the Washington club, for one thing, will be fixed. Manager Trott is very wide awake all the time, however, and is building up | a large correspondence with some of the best | talent to be found. He thinks he will have no difficulty in getting together a winning tear. A letter was received the other day from Don nelly, the popular third baseman, indicating that be will be only too glad to revurn to the Senatorial fold. He will be one of the best men ‘Trott could find, for he is a prime favorite here, besides being as clever a third baseman ded that territory for Washington . Kinslow, Donnelly y jor a team the remainder ought to be exsy cnough. Four such men could almost play the game alone. ——— THE MAG(C OF ADVERTISING.
