STRIKE FOR HIGHER WAaEs.--We learn from
El Cldmor Publico that three thousand women
in Madrid, who are engaged in the manufacture
of cigars, have struck for higher wages. They
formed quite an army of insurgents, and threw
up barricades to impede the municipal guard,
who were sent to bring them to order Finally
they were compelled to return to their labor,
not without complaining bitterly, however, of
the great reduction of wages. The most skilful
used to receive eight reals per day, "a real
is equal to ten cents, but two and half reals
is the utmost they can make under the new ar
rangement.-N. y Com. Adu.
To what are we tending? Behold the spirit
of the age! Has law, has order, has justice no
power to constrain the presumption of poor and
laborious women? Have they no gratitude for
the protection and privileges they receive? Ini-
quitous .. insurgents !" The most skilful among
them capable of earning twenty-five cents a day,
and yet are they not satisfied !! Why did not the
" municipal guard" fire upon them at once
The act would have been worthy of them. They
did well to compel them to return to their labor
1t was important that there should be no inter
ruption to the profits Of their employers, nor to
the luxurious putting of the g wealthy curled
darlings'' for whose use they twist the tobacco
leaves Poor pale girls to be sure their work
is unhealthy, and their recompense small but
| they are the common people, whose welfare has
not been bargained for in any of the contracts
made by kings and aristocrats for the govern
ment of nations But we scould like to see
a municipal guard" compelling q party of
Yankee girls to return to labor at prices below
what they deem equitable. There is no mistake
about it--there is a wide difference in some
things between the old and the new world
The WARRENToS (VA.) REPUBLIcAN.-Dr. ].
s. BELL has purchased this establishment. He
has for some time contributed to its editorial
columns. Dr. B. is ripe scholar and pleasant
writer, and appears ambitious to both amuse
and instruct his readers. That he can be emil
nently successful in both either there is little
doubt; but we hope he win not be tempted
too far into the former. That sin that doth
most easily beset US should be carefully guard
ed A newspaper full of long articles epitom-
lied is the most difficult to produce, elicts the
least praise for its editor, yet is ever the most
acceptable to the reader. A bird that can soar
aloft on unfailing pinions cannot well brook the
monotony of the dull earth in its circumscribed
prospect; but "to this complexion we must
come at last" He who conducts an acceptable
newspaper must ever repeat to himself, "My
paper and my readers are all: my correspon-
dents and are nothing"
But whom are we lecturing? 81 said an
elder soldier, not n better"
THE MoRMoNs.-If the late reports we read
of this people are true, war Of Settlement,
if not determination, may yet be waged against
them by the United States. Their numbers are
greatly increasing, chiefly from Europe; and
under the name Of peculiar religion they ap-
pear to be practising the worst of vices among
| themselves, as well as dishonesty and violence
