The fourth of March is a fitting occasion for the Republican clubs of Indiana to renew their allegiance to the party and to celebrate its grand achievements and the brilliant policy just inaugurated. It is also a fitting time for calm consideration of the facts by our Democratic brethren of the North.

Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office and was inaugurated President of the United States. His election marked the rise of the Republican party into power. Sectional sympai: thy gave it a surprising growth at the JFall election before and the North with California and'Ore'gon stood Republican. However 'pleasantly the falls Democratic ears the fact remains that the Republican North stood for loyalty ratio South to" rebellion on the original lines of distinction. fvSince that time the South hab sought jv by the rather the abuse of it, to gain the power not attained by the tmllet.

While it has continued to by fair mjans or foul, its solid to the Democratic party and probably has changed but little in its tenets, the Republican party has in the task of building Sj-up and promoting national prosperity relying upon the support-of the people for its" successful'accomplishment, -well it has performed duty history records.

During this time Republican success has been menaced "by. the and the Democrats of the North.

New parties have been encouraged the hope of drawing' from the Republican for it matter of little moment to Democracy whether It swallows a new party or is swallowed by it as Ipng as success eems possible.

1G. We hear every day of people who get black and blue in their, efforts to climb the social ladder. We hear of people who are scornfully spoken of as among the "social climbers," and every now and then somebody wonders if they will reach the height to which they are climbing. They will if they have skins like hippopotamuses and plenty of money; if they do not mind being snubbed by a woman, and then her the next day with a smile, expecting another snub, willing to take it, and yet to smile again the day after. They must also learn that two kicks down the rounds of the ladder which they wish to climb must only give them impetus to fly up five more.

They must be willing to spend money, and spend it in great quantities, and they must run after a lion try to capture him, and exhibit him in golden chains in their drawing-rooms; but, above all, they must feed their guests well, and that is where the social climber too often makes a mistake. EUXGS OF THE SOCIAL LADDER. Mrs. Blueblood can afford to offer her guests pale claret cup and wafers, but Mrs. Climber cannot content hers with anything less than fizz, terrapin, and game.

To make her people satisfied with themselves, she must give them of the best in the land. Her reward? Well, it is in the hereafter. When she gets where she wants to go, when she has reajhed the height of bliss she can snub women who are trying to follow her example, and she can cut off her visiting list all those her in her early struggles, but whom she counts as belonging to the ineligibles nowadays. There are always a few women who will not assist the climber, no matter how much money she may spend or how entirely she may submit to being of course. HOW WOMAN CUTS WOMAN, Oce delightful woman here will control the people who visit at her house, and once, when a well known climber went up to her and said, "I am going you think these same priggish writers, who will give you reams of the family purse, discuss woman's position in the political wbeth'erV: society women ought to ministers wear white ties, and actors fur-lined overcoats, would be much more desirable if they'riad a little imagination Don't you suppose that all the people who have given, delight in books from Shakespeare to Mother Goose, have been people of vivid imagination?

Apropos of writers, it is curious to hear the discussions about them when their pictures have been seen. Mr. Haggard is extremely picturesque- lojking, and a picture of him with an orchid in his buttonhole is that of a man earnest, bright, imaginative, and agreeable.

Two other pictures furnish curious contrasts; they are those of Jerome K. Jerome and Rudyard Kipling. One thing that makes them look alike for a second is that each man wears a mustache and eyeglasses, and yet when you look into the faces closely you discover how absolutely dissimilar they are. Jerome's face is that of a man who is iovablt, and who would be loved by everybody around him. There is a keen sense of humor and a bit of a pathetic look that reminds one, even when he is funniest, how a little pathos will creep in.

He looks like a man who would have good and gentle thoughts of all people, and who would do his best wherever he might be. UUDYAKD KIPLIXG'S FACE. Now, Rubyard Kipling. There is an immense amount of originality in Highest of all in Leavening If. S.

IChurlcs Foster was born In Seneca County, Ohio, in 1828 and was educated at the Norwaik Academy. Ho wont into business and hecame a.banker, and from his youth took an active interest in politics.

He ran for the Ohio Legislature and failed, but in M70 was elected to Congress, and -was threo re-olboted. In Washing-ton he. was known as a shrewd politician, but.did not cut much figure on the noor of Congress. He served for a time on the committee of ways and means. InlS79he was elected Governor of Ohio and re-elected in 1SS1.

He was the manager of tha Sherman boom in. 1S84 and when he flopped over to Blaine Senator Sherman charged him with bad faith, and there'was an angry At the last election he was again a candidate for Congress in the Eighth Ohio district, out was defeated. He was ono of the oommtsssiocers appointed last year to negotiate with the Sioux, for the acquisition of their reservation by the Government. Martin A.

A farmer by the name of John D. Burns, living- near Lynxville; this county, left his house Thursday afternoon in eharg-e of Ms 0-year-old daughter and two still younger children.

Another woman, who that by gushing, and great deal of personal information she could get to she wished, grew very familiar with a young married woman and said to her, "I wonder that you use rouge; I didn't know anybody but the demi-monde did that." With a sweet smile the haughty young matron answered, "You are very fortunate in knowing anything about their habits or them; my acquaintances have always been in a different set." As this was audible to the entire room, the would-be familiar friend was most beautifully cut. TWO KINDS OF W03IEN. That woman is an abomination upon the face of the earth who goes around gossipping to the rest of womankind about the habits, costumes, and special friends of women of the other world.

She can never really account creditably for this knowledge, and herlisten- er has a perfect right to conclude that she has acquaintances among them, although it is most probable she has gathered her stories from different American women are learning to do like their French to entirely ignore these ladies, and when they meet them to stare as blankly as if there was no material figure near them. This LJ the art of the world, who never sees the disagreeable in life, KTDER HAGGARD LEAVES AN IMPRESSION. It is probable that noboby has left such an impression of is no English Mr. Rider Haggard. He was only here a little while, but during that time he and his wife were made much of and entertained, and they showed that they thoroughly liked it.

Wide travel has taken away from them the insular prejudices of the average English, and they are prepared to meet the pleasant smile with a pleasant, not condescending one, and to find good wherever goodliness and kindliness are to be met. Mrs. Haggard is a most devoted wife, her husband's companion wherever he goes, and so pleased were they with the people whom they saw in New York that they thin returning this way to meet their new friends again. Haven't you a great, liking for the man who wrote 'King Solomon's Mines" and 1 And haven't you a great scorn for those people who worn out mentally, talk of imagination as if it were a language that could be learned, rather than a gift straight from God at one's And don't thai face; it is the face of a man who at twenty-six is forty, and yet it doesn't look as if he was mirroring his own experiences, but those of other people. It's a face that could be hard, or could be very attractive.

It's a face of a cynical man, but not a cynic. And a cynical man is one who is sarcastic at the expense of the world, because his dearest friend suffered. To my mind it is a fact that suggests that the great knowledge of women that the man has has come to him sphinx, is the same. Except that she is better looking, now tha.n when she first came to us, there is but little change in her, and the report 'of the fat, one is pleased to chronicle, is a simple iilling up of the angles that is most becoming. WHKKEIN LIES BEKXHAItDX'S STKE.VGTH.

A man asked me if I could understand her; he might as well have asked me if I had a secret of that woman who looks out on the Egyptian I sands, who was old when Cleopatra was young, and who has never opened her lips to disclose that which she knows so well. There has never been a woman like Madame Bernhardt be. fore. She, like the orchid in its finest state of cultivation, is the product of the nineteenth century. People talk about her wonderful genius, of the tragedy that her life was; but it can never be said.of her as it is of Sarah, that she is mistress Of anything she wants to control.

ARevolutionary Tcnsioner Dead. NEW Feb.

It is a complex face; you can keep on looking at it; but when you remember is the face of a man who wrote Deeyer," you feel like taking' off your bat and bowing to it. That's the way the pictures of three well- iknown men effected me, and I think you will agree with me about them. CHESS IN NEW DRESS.

How soon, under tbe cloak of charity, will a game of chess be played with 'the'pieces represented by the hand- of women and the best-looking of men, with small children as pawns? It is the last fad in London, and the crush to see the game was something 'marvellous. -The costumes were founded on dresses of the Tudor period, were perfect in every detail, while the red queen and king were absolutely superb. The game was played by two expert chess players, long gold wands were used to touch the pieces as a cue for their moving. This was done in the stately way, a peculiar slow step being chosen and adhered to by all. It is a novel idea, and whoever first gets it up here will certainly make much money 'for whatever charity it may be played for.

The most religious persons in the world can't object to it, as they might, to a game of poker, while the artist who delights in picturesque effects in seeing beautiful women beautifully gowned, will have a marvellous treat for his eyes offered to him at what seems a marvellously low price. BERNPTARDT, THE DIVINE. Madame Sarah, as she has announced she prefers to be called, is once more with us, and once more her marvellous personality has to be acknowledged. Putting aside for a moment her great genius, forgetting 'for a while how she really makes you feel that she is the character she represents, what woman is there to-day who has such strong individuality, an individuality indeed that extends over the world? -People who have never heard or never though of the Czarina of Russia, read eagerly every word that is writteii about Madame Sarah. People who don't care about the'top- pling of thrones or the uprising of nations seek for the last new criticism of a play in which she has performed, of the last book that she has approved, or the last picture that has pleased her.

the woman who commands this, and this very fact ought to bring her greater delight.than if it were the genius, for it proves different from all other women, she yet has, a Opera she would rival Patti, and the whole world would be convinced that there had never been such a voice. Madame Sarah is a woman of successes, and to success every human being in this world.must bow is, this sort of success, the success of the intellect. SOME THINGS THAT TIKE ONE.
