PUNXSUTA Train up a child in the way ho should go, and who n he ia old he will not depart from it.—Pro*. I The secret of all government is a round the hearthstone. Good or bad legislation in the councils of the nation ia the result of good or bad legislation in the family. Domestic government is the most important to us because we are most affected by it. We should not bo so much concerned about what ia going on tit Washington an wa should be about what is going on about the home circle. The effects of a new legislation may be long reaching uh, and when it does roach us wo uiay Hot bo great I j injured or benefitted by it. But what is done about the hoarthatonc touches us immediately and affect* us Titally. On the othor hand, our legislators are made in tho homo nursery. Not oar legislators only, but tho citizenship of our country who aro to make it pure and wise, or base and woak. The lawmakers, thinkers and voters who are exercising the franchise, doing tho thinking and shaping our in to roe t h to-day were, forty years ago, rollicking boys within the reach and under the pla*tio touch of father and mother. Tll*y correctly and justly represent the homes from which they came. A a truly as » plant gathera it* life and substance from the atmosphere and soil of its environment, the man represents tho intelligence, tho virtuo and the discipline of hif c'uildhood surroundings. Nothing of greater concern confronts us to-day than the government of tho rising youth. Tho intere*t and destiny of tho nntiou depends largely upon tlioir rearing. Poor dog ! Ho i8 losing his pants', or bis paots are disappearing. Tours are wearing out. They no longer look an nice as the ooat. Come In and see tbe extra pants, pantaloons and trousers. We have all shades of all oolors to salt any coat. PRICES: OUR FALL STOCK IS COMING, And we have some great surprises In suits and overcoats, hoys' and children's clothing and overcoats; a beautiful line for least money. In Jersey and Lord Fontleroy suits we are out of sight, both for quality, qaantlty and low prices. That's no object in these times. What do you want to pay? The goods will suit and the prices, too. Bo don't wear the old ones longer. HAT The Tariff BUI fre Baportsl Bsfora Thea. Washixotos, Sep. 20. - Thl» week will see the beginning of the work of putting into to shape the tariff bill to be reported by the committee on ways and mean*. For some time naturally progress will apparently be slow. The reports of the hearings, which held the attention of the committee until Wednesday of last week, have not yet all been printed mid the committee is still receiving written arguments from persons who failed to secure an engagement to appear in person. A prominent member of the house not on the ways and means committee, but whose position gives his expression much weight, discussing the probable action ot the committee, said: "Why shouldn't a small duty lie laidon sugar) It wculd provide fifteen or twenty millions of additional revenue without seriously affecting the great body of consumers, and would enable the sugar planters of Louisiana, for whom I have much sympathy, to.continue in business. Two or three items of that kind in the bill would go far toward solving the question of covering the deficiency in the revenues. I have no authority to speak for anyone in the matter, but I believe this will be done." iiepri'sentativo Wilson declined to set a date lor tbe introduction of the bill, but intimated that, in hisopinion, it would not be ready by Nov. 1. A month later is believed to be near the time when It may ba expected. An impression prevails that the 1st of • January, 1895, will be agreed upon by tlio committee as the date (or putting the law into effect. The commit- U'e is confronted with a serious financial situation. It is admitted that in some way at least $60,000,000 of additional animal revenue must be provided to meet the ordinary current expensos of the government, and unless the sinking fund law is suspended or repealed, the deficit will amount to over $100,000,000. How this is to be done is tbe question the committee must answer by ita work. I (ittMM are visited upon tho children to tkm third sod fourth generations" should be a warning; th reverse—that the children of the good inherit their parent*' virtues, should be no lss« comforting* Parent* may know the elements that eater iat^thw child's eonstitution. and if they are wise fltj wilt consider this from his earliest infancy. VFhen lagislators and prison reformers are observing this law In legislation and the msnagement of criotlaals, it is time for parents to apply such wisdom la the formaticn of character. The development of destructive traits of character should be guarded with untiring vigilance. Every child iihould be trained with reference to his peculiar constitution. What might be tho blensing of one iAmiId be the bane t>f another. There is an variety of traits as there are of features. There must be an equal variety in the methods of government. Again, children should be trained with reference to their future occupation. A large percentage of tho failures and unhappiness of the tinman family liave grown out of the friction of men laboring out of their spheres. Lifo has gone hard with them; thojr have l»ecn poor and unhappy because they failed to ttnd the place they were intended to All. Kvery man lins a calling One calling is no less sa* cred than another. Not only the prosperity and happiness of the individual are involved, but the whole world might be wiser and wealthier by the judicious employment of his gifts. The world is poorer than it would have been had all the gifted the race been wisely employed. Intellectual gems hare lain buried in the lower strata of • ociety that might have glittered in tho coronet of tame. Much of tho responsibility of this waste liee at the parents door. Much of It in due to negligence, and much of it to pride. Proud hearted mothers have often spoiled fine farmers and mechanics by urging their sons into profesMisps for which they are wholly untalented. Many a man gifted for agriculture is emaciated, cross and useless to society because he haa no murderers to clear, or patients to kill. Mnny it man who might have won a competence and honest fame as a bricklayer liss dishonored the pulpit hooause he was nover called to dispense tho oracles of God, The world needs to wake up to the dignity and sanctity of human toil. Many have yet to loam that it is just as honorable to hammer at the forge as it is to representfhccommonwealth in the Nation's legislatures. And far mow honorable is it to bo a skillful qnsi* ryman than to be a beer-soaked, half-gifted legislator. Hundreds of bright boys have wasted their giflN, made shipwreck of life, and been a public burden because parents have hinderod them from following their chosen professions. The mob claims that be attempted to barn his way out of jail, and in the attempt burned his feet. This story is not generally believed.

They are very much scared and stand a good show of going to the penitentiary. His feel were horribly burned and swol leu.

Woodward would reply to these in a lady's handwriting enclosing a photograph of a handsome young ludy and propose that the writer send enough money for the mythical heiress to ooine to tlm, they then to be married quietly to escape the stern guardian and return and get her property. Many letters came with photographs of anxious ones and Woodward was reoeivlng an income of several hundred dollars a week, living high and be coming quite popular. Woodward's scheme was to insert matrimonial notices in rural papers throughout the country from New York to San Francisco calling for correspondents for a young lady, 21 years old, worth $30,000, who lived unhappily with her guardian and wanted to marry. But Its Author Dupad Fortune Seeker. Once Too Often. Bvftalo, N. Y., Sep. 38.—Deputy Marshal Colt hns arrived hero from Niagara Kalis with George Woodward, alias Chas. Moore, who was arrested in that city charged with using the United States mails to defraud. During the night she said that without warning Kuney drew a revolver and pointed it at her. He pulled the trigger, but the cartridge did not explode. She threw the lap robe over his hand, and although tho hone wu on a run she jumped but of the buggy. Kuney also jumped out and dragged the girl back to the buggy and again attempted to use the revolver. A passer-by interfered, and the girl again broke away. Then Kuney placed the revolver to his '.own head und ured. He died almost instantly. After the shooting Miss Braiuerd passed a restless night, vomiting and purging. Early in the morning she was seised with a sinking spell, and before help could reach her she died. There is no doubt that her death was the result of fright from her awful experience with Kuney. heart ami Then Kill* Himself.

Walter, known as "Shady" Whitcomb, grandson of the robbed man, who, from the first was suspected of the crime, was found last night hiding in Whitcomb's barn. Heconfessed and returned all the money. Sergeant Kamboasky was detailed to guard him after he was taken into custody. Wageiuan was ugly and made many threats, hut little or no attention was paid to them.

The children of America trainod to bo patriots, scholars and Christians will be an artuy invincible. I venture to speak to you on this Rubject to-day because I believe much of tho nation's richest treasure is being lost. Intellectual gomx, brighter far than ltnudllian diumonds, and more valuable than the gold reserve in the national coffers are being sacrificed, and that too for all eternity. Aod because parents, many of them among our best citlcens and tho members of our churches, seem to feel almost wholly irresponsible for the oare of their God-given charges. I want to remind you that your children are a heavenly trust. God put them into your hands and they belong more to Him than they do to you. As the Egyptian princess laid the infant Moses into his own mother's arms saying, "Take this child and nurse it for me and I will give the thy wages," so Qod honors you in making you the guardians of jowels for the heavenly diadem. Parents are personally responsible to God for the destiny of their children. The text will admit of no other interpretation than that expressed. If a child is trained properly and at tho proper time, he will never depart from it.' All children who turn out badly have not bad parents. This is far from the truth. lint if good parents will do their duty in this respect, their children will honor thorn in after years. Borne of the noblest Christians have made the sadest failures in rearing their children. Tho sons o( good old Levi wore unutterably depraved. The wail of the broken-hearted David, as it comes down through the ages, "Oh, Absaloei, my son, my son, wonld God I had died for theTfn is a sad remindfr that some of God's favored servants are brou|ht to grief in old age by rebellious eons—eons who have not been properly trained in childhood. Parents are responsible for the futuro of their children beeauso they are wholly irresponsible for themselves. Until they have reached the ago of accountability tho parent must do tboir thinking and acting. They are responsible to God for their moral actions and should be responsible foi his civil conduct. The ohild is wholly dependent for all the volitions of its boing. Like the clay in the hands of the potter, like the vino under the en re of tho vine dresser, he can bend and shape the growing life after the fashion of his own mind. The will of the parent is the will of the child. The heart of the parent is the heart of tho child. Thoy are without characters until tboir characters are made. They are perfoct imitators. They can have no other modo of conduct than that acquired from models. They necessarily follow their parents' example. They follow the diagram of life set before them as unerringly as the painter follows his plot or the sculptor his model. If the father frowns the son will frown. If tho mother smiles the daughter will smile. If tho parents speak French the child will speak French. If tho parents speak English the child will spenk English. You must be what you want your children to bo. Nothing is more futile than to try to teach children doctrines that do not accofti with their living oxaiu> pies. We once hoard n fa tbe say : "I intend to teach my son to refrain from the use of tobacco." While ho was talking the smoke curled in beautiful columns from his lips. And lomo good, solicitous fathers get fearful of the prospective verdure of their eons and take them around to see what is going on in the world. They aro carefully polioed through the beer gardens, the saloons, tho gambling hells and brothels in order that they may see what is going on. God pity the unsuspocting lad who is led into tho slaughter-pen by his father! You might as woll take him to tho fever lararctoto see tbe patients, or to a smallpox hospital to »ee how the contagion works. Such fathers often live to hear their well-instructed sone in vioe tell them what Is going on in the world after they have learned too much. The legitimate result of such discipline is rebellion, crime and tears. Early impressions are easily made and they are the most enduring. Abraham Lincoln's mother diod when ho was but ten years old, but she made such en impression upon his mind ss to shape one of tho grandest careers in American history. It is a well established fact that the impressions of early childhood can not be effaced either by time, association or education.

What in easier than for tho wine parent to aee what hit* child in fitted for 7 Ho to the piny grounds and aee for yourself the rifling merchants, atockraiser*. phyaiciana, teachers, lawyer* and ministers. The boy merchant will trade; the boy lawyer will argue; tke l»oy preacher will preach. The born leader among men will show his generalship aa clearly on the ball ground a« on the battle ground. Napoleon transformed hia play ground to a bat lie ground on which he mustered and marahaled hia matea, revealing the llrat glimpses of the inatchloaa genius that swayed at will the soldiery of France and shook all tho kingdoms of Europe. Henry Clay dclivored his first orations to the horaea and oxen In hia father's bam. Moaart, Uust maater of the keys who thrilled the world with Sa«red melody, white a mere babe sal and thumped for hours on hia mother's piano. Not tho brighter lighta of the world's history alone iadicated their gifts in childhood, but in the majority of easea the vocation of the boy might be asaigued long before he reaohea hia majority. lie ahuald be trained from childhood, sent to college and educated for that special rocation for whioh he in endowed. This early consideration of the employment of children would go far toward tho aolution of many vexed probloma, and would rapidly accelerate the happinoaa, wisdom and wealth of the race. We believe in broad and thorough education, but life is too abort to learn everything. In thia age of specialists everybody should be aole to do aomething. and to do thnt something well. I low much greater the skill and capacity of the man trained from oliildhood, than the aian who has squandered half hia years hnnting for a calling. Keapoct for government should be thoroughly Inculcated into the youthful mind. This ia a point fatally woak with many good narenta. They fall utterly in the control of thoir households. Thoy lack flrraneea. They are too indulgaut. Children must be taught at home to reapeot authority, and authority to be respected must bit obeyed. A disrespected and unexecuted law is a nullity. This is no less true in tho family than in the State. Parents who are not obeyed nre in serious danger of not boing respected by tho boys, who should be taught to honor them. Hoys who are not governed soon become the governors. The order isVeveraed and the parents become the subjects of home rule. Theiuistocles once said laughingly of his baby boy, "That boy ia greater than any man in (Ireece. The Athunlana command the (ireeks, I command tba Athenians, his mother commands tne and he com* inanda his mother." How of ten is tho peace of an entire homo disturbed by a single insolent, undisciplined boy or gir!f Tho infatuated "governor" nnd the "old lady" smile approvingly in the presence of blushing guests as though tho young "America' possessed the condenaed wisdom of the ages. It ia difllcult to decido which ia the more tolerable, such parent* or such a boy. The Superintendent of Sing Sing prison was once aaked the ohief cause of crime and imprisonment, lie said: "The lack of parental government." The Chief of police in Chicago was aaked the same question and gave the same answer. Tba men who fill our priaona have never been taught to respect government in the home. The yoke of aathority galls the nock of an undisciplined bow all through life. He will rebel againat the rule of the church, he will violate the lawa of the State, and refuse to obky the commands of Jehovah himself. The home must have a govermentand its authorities must be obeyed and reapoeted. Govern as you are capable. He wise, loving and flrui. ROlebylovo* but do not forget that in some cases jurisprudence must bo administered through the warpa of tha trouaers. . The booka and companiona of roar children should be guarded with untiring vigilance. Tha destiny of many a boy haa been sealed by the books ho has read or the company be haa kept. Can yos expect the mind of your children to be elevated without refining literature in tho home ? Can yos expect your child to form religions tastes while you center table are laden with secular stuff and not a single religious periodical in tho houeaf Is it Strang© that the boy will gamble who was taught to play carda at home ? Would it stem Incredible to hear of tha bo v. who was given his morning tody at home, ending his career In tha gutter ? Would it be a sunrise for your daughtar to elope with some unworthy character that yoo have premited to associate In your family for months, or years? It ia your responsibility to guard the home, the reading and the aaaoclation of your children. Father, you are responaible for your son trying to repeat soma disgraceful adventure about which he should never have read. Mother, you are responsible for the fact that your girl Is more devoted to the hall room than tha ohuroh, because you permit and even encouraged hor to go to the dance hall In order that sho might move in the hast society.
