THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. t. I. WINK, Editor Psomhto. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12l, 18!8. MK. ARNOLD'S UOOH IS GKOUIXtJ. Commenting on Mr. Arnold'! can didacy for Congressman-at-Large, the Keystone Gazette, published at Belle fonte, in this district, truly says: "The above from Mr. Aruold'a home paper are brave words fitly spoken. He accepted the uotniua liou for Congress in this district when no oue thought it could be carried against the Democratic nominee, but he doffed hie coat, rolled up his sieves and went nt it wiih a spirit that soon convinced our adversaries of the fact that ho was a dangerous man. He was a comparative stranger in this end of the district, but he soon made himself known and his personal mag nelistn, good common sense aud his ringing speeches soon turned the ap parent indifference into the wildest enthusiasm for him a feeling that has never abated, and enabled us not only to swing old Centre county into line, but seud a Republican to repre sent us in Congress from this district a district heretofore presumed to be impreguable. "When the people had honored him by electing him to oflico he proved himself as active in the performance of his duty to his constituents aud as aggressive in the cause of .Republican ism as he had been in winning votes from the Democrats and won to him self not only the friendship but the Thc Monotony of Home Life.- Some At the meeting of the executive committee of the Slate leaguo of Re publican clubs, held at llarrisburg Thursday ftertionp, it was decided to bold tho next annual convention at Pittsburg, Sept. 7 to 9. What is known as the Lodge bill, to restrict imm igraiion into the Uni ted States, was passed by the Senate on Monday, the vote standing 45 fur to 28 against. The bill provides that all immigrants physically capable aud over 16 years of age shall be able to read and write the English language, or some other language ; but a person not able In read or write who is over 50 years of age and is the parent or graudpnrent of a qualified iramigraul over 21 years of age and capable of supporting such a par. etit or grandparent may accom pany tho immigrant, or the par ent or grandparent may be sent for and come to join the family of the child or grandchild over 21 years of age qualified under the law; any wife or minor children not able to read or write may accompany or bo sent for aud come to join the husband or par ent who is qualified. The act does not ftpply to persons coming to the United Stales from the island of Cuba during the continuation of present disorders there, who have heretofore been inhabitants of the island admiration of every voter regardless of parly afbliatiou, compelling the admission from all sides that he bad had few equals and no superiors in Congress from this district. "He was early takeu into the con fidence and invited to the councils of the Kepublican leaders at Washing KcniHlie? and Suggestions. KSSAY 11 Y MRS. IDA A. SMALL, Read before the Farmers' Institute held in Tionesta, Dec. 10-11, IMS.

The men of this backwoods home will find in politics a field for their Intellects. There are Issues now boforo the public that reipiiro the attention ol all. 'Tis said to be tho indifference of tho rank and file throughout the country that allows tho cities tho controling power in elec tions. While not really in the province of this paper, I would like to pay a trib ute to tho farmers of Forest county ; those men who, against great raids, liave hold theirown ; In some cases tho farms being so hilly that heavy showers would sweep newly sown seed into the next township. And all honor to tboso early Bottlers, the Oormans, w ho out of a wilderness have created homes to be proud of, fences of stone still standing as muto reminders of tho toil required to clear the farm. Dot let us not forget the children. They should have games such as dominoes and authors, and be allowed a pr.per of their own. The "Youth's Companion" and tho "Classmate" are among the best.

Teach thoin to bo brave, true and patriotic. In whatever time we labor to Improve, ever, and above all, let this be our thought and aim. To boaulify, brighten and preserve tho American homo, where every man's house is his castle, and none dare molest or make a raid. Listen to tho words of the Farmer Poet Robert Rums. Tho' flattered by court ladies, and tho welcome guest at many n festal board, yet this was the sentiment of his heart: "To make a happy fireside clime, To weans and w ife That's the truo pathos, and sublime Of human life.''

He seemed to take especial de light in exercising this ioflueuce in the interest of the old soldier, and while in Washington a few mouths ago we were told that there was no face more familiar in the pension de partment than .Mr. Arnold s, nor one that received more prompt recogni tion. "We cauuot well afford to have Mr. Arnold drop out of the Congres sional race, but his services entitle him to even higher recognition than he has received trout us or than we are able to give, and it affords us real pleasure to declare our hearty sup port of his candidacy for Congress- roan-at-Large, feeling assured that his nomination will lend a sail to the lleptiblicao ship iu its voyage across the troubled waters iuto a safe harbor this fall." The Puuxsutawney iSpirit thinks Mr. Arnold deserves promotion and says so in these words : "Hon. W. C. Arnold, of DuBois, is a raudidate tor Congressraan-at-Large. The popular Clearfield Mem- ' ber deserves something easier after having twice carried a strong Demo' cratic district, and his friends in tliif part of the State would be highly gratified to see his name on the ticket uext fall for that office. When Great Britain found itself powerless to control the American colonies by military force it signed a treaty of peace aud recognized their independence. That was the sensible course, and Spain can profitably study the example. The disappearance of the deficit will be a bard blow to tho foolish pa pers, I'opocratio and gold Democrat ic, principally the former, which have been howling that the Diugley law is as bad as the Wilson act as a revenue producer, and which have been pre dieting that a bond sale would soon have to be resorted to.

Before the spring is half over surpluses are likely to be regu lar features of the treasury balance sheets as they were in tho former lie publican days, la bubiue.-s as well as politics tho country has entered on a Republican era. Uncle Sam ha gent a warship to the harbor of Havana, but it is said to be merely a friendly visit, and nothing serious is contemplated. Tb little episode has started "the boys" to thinking, however, aud there is more or Jess talk that the next move may be the dropping of a few thells iuto the Cuban capital, causing a hot time, iu the old towu some night. Of late there's been more or less Moling in the city of Havana, and at one time it was reported that Consul Gen eral Lee had beeu assasioated.

Dreary as this picture ap pears, it is but that of the rural and farm inn population in general. In the winter and spring months, when the roads are bad, their conditions become still more unbearable, and the entire being de mands a change. Is it any wondc-r that tho boys leave for the larger towns and cities, and the daughters either marry young or seek em i loyment away from home? It is the purpose of this paper to present a few ways by which the most isolated family may keep in sympathy with the outsido world, and increase their field of usefulness. If I speak often of tho wife and mother, it is because she is universally acknowledged to be the life of the homo. If the mother is cheerful and goes around with a snatch of aong on hor lips, there will bo sunshine everywhere; tho children will carry it to school in their hearts, and the father feel fit for any task; but if she frets and scolds no outside sunshine can brighten that place. Everything possible should ba dono to give this country an intelligent, healthy motherhood. Has it not been said that "tho hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world?" Recent events at Princeton have reversed this, and we might say that "the hand that ODce ruled over this land of Liberty is now- at liberty to rock the cradle Over-work is one of the greatest foes to a cheerful household. We read of the furm dame of Holland, with hor snow white kerchief and her picturesque cos tume, stepping around directing her 1 maids; and of the Euglish house-wife, with a bunch of jingling keyR, dealing out supplies or superintending the work; but it is left for the women of America to bo veritable slaves to their house-work washing and scrubbing on Monday, bak ing and irouing Tuesday, cooking all the time and sewing between times; prepar ing all the food ; canning fruit, pickling and preserving in some cases doing the milking while the husband reads the newspaper. Now how could the raind be improved under such circumstances as these? First, by dropping all useless labor rest and read a little every day, let hap pen what will. Draw the line at milking and carrying wood and water, let the boys and men do that. You see I believe iu the emancipation of women, not from petticoats and bloomers, but from being mastered by their work. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and Home or Foreign Missionary Societies are to be found now in almost every community. I would like to urge all the wives and daughters not already members, to unite with oue cr all of these societies. The expeuse is small and the return iu the enlargement of the mental vision great. If it is impossible to unite with these, take some of their publications ; read of Frances Willard, who stands for all that is best in womanhood ; or follew that brave Cincinnati girl, Mary Reed, to ber leper colony in India, then repeat to the family and get them interested. Don't think you are too busy to do this ; some mothers are so concerned about other cares they fail to hold the jewels in their grasp, and lose all influence over the lives of their children. Influence once lost is hard to regain. To brighten tho home itself 1 would suggest a frequent chaugo iu tho position of the furuituro, the pictures and draper ius, no matter what the men say against housec'leaning ; one grows dreadfully tired of looking at the same decorations year after yeur. A boquet of pressed ferns and autumn leaves looks cheerful, and even a picture from an illustrated newpaper pinned to the w all will give the mind new food for thought. Have a few plants but not too many lest they become a burden. Have variety iu tho food ; accustomed to buckwheat cakes and meat for break laht, try egus and toust some morning ; instead of coffee make cocoa. If you have read a new joke, spring it ou the family at theteatableand raise a laugh, it will do every one good. Keep the family birthdays; remember them by a littl gift and an extra good dinuer.
