an historical novel founded on incidents in the

LIST WEEK,S YORK FOR WOMEY.

Parliament, in England, during the week
lust past has been thrusting a very bungling
finger into the question of time and work,
especially with regard to women. Adult
women are TO be prohibited from work in
mines, and the hours of employment for the
large bodies Of milliners and dressmakers are
to be restricted so as to bear some proportion
to those claimed by men. AT first sight these
provisions appear simply humane and reason
able, and to open no ground Tor argument.
The question, however, with regard to the
women employed as miners and coal-heavers,
is between that work and starvation. There
is but one mode of labor open to them in tho
districts to which it belongs, and the men are
not of the class who support their women
folks as mere house necessities, much less lux
uries. The female cOal-heaver drinks her pot
of ale, drags her load with as sturdy thews,
and "ras lsn with her companions after her
work is over with as hearty gust0 as the
male animal beside her. She is a brutal, pitt
able object enough, it is true, to her delicate,
tenderly nurtured sister; but in that very bulk
and stomach and ox-like back she has her
conversations. after all
There is another side to the question of the
ONeIWOIhtu hCNluS NomNh5 VI Nh'Ah Nii''
Emily Faithful is making such narrowing pie
lures. The time of labor extends from 8 a. m.
TO 10 D. m in the monster dresSmaling estab-
lishments in London, which Miss Faithful
designates as cruel and inhuman. 1t must be
remembered, however, that this period of
press of work only lasts during three months
of the year. During the remainder the sew
ing women are so much idle that the majority
are clad to accept the hurry and overwork for
short season to make up their deficiencies.
To prohibit absolutely any woman from earn
ing her daily bread at the mouth of the coal
nit provided her muscles would warrant it,
or any other from clearing few shillings by
improving the exigencies of Overwork, is
hardly just. Half the house-mothers of the
middle and lower classes in this country
would be glad to compromise their stent" of
daily unpaid work for any fourteen hours OF
stitching on tulle and muslin.
The common sense of the matter is that It
is as useless to try to legislate on the amount
or duration of labor practicable for all men
or women as to prescribe one universal diet
for them all, whether of flesh, fish or -four.
According to the recent dicta of German

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN PENNSYLT1NIl.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Honest and credulous supporters of the Ad-
ministratOn party in Pennsylvania, who cannot
bear to load their cOnscicnces with the sins
of the Cameron Ring, have been fattering
themselves with the belief that they need not
vote the IIartranft ticket in October, yet may
return TO full communion in November and
carry the State for Grant. The Custom-house
organ is at pains to undeceive them. "The
"necessities of the situation are accepted" it
says, as requiring a triumph in October as a
surety of victory in November :" and then it
goes on, cracking the party whip, and threat
ening Republicans by implication with the
displeasure of the court if they do not dis
semble their disgust-oT, to put it more deli
cately, "bury their diflerencesn-and vote for
HaItranft. The Administration has the deepest
interest in that gentlemans success and
though he is a politician of bad reputation
and decided unpOpularity, though he has been
connected with notorious Ring of spectators,
and is supposed to be in collusion with the man
ayers of grand raid on the State Treasury, Gen.
Grant has made up his mind to have him elected,
and orders have been issued to the placemen
and expectants to govern themselves accord
ingly. alt has been given out from this quar-
"ter," says the Washington correspondent of
the organ, "that the Administration had no
"interest in or sympathy with the State con-
"test in October This is a Misrepresentation
"of the fact While the Administration can
"not interfere with the nominations of the
"party in State, it recognizes it as politi-
zeal duty to extend its sympathy to the party
ticket regularly nominated. -. There is,
therefore, excellent ground for the assertion
"that the Republicans of Pennsylvania may
rely upon the active sympathy and support
"of the Administration in the State contest.
"Whatever aid can be legitimately rendered
"will be given for success in October as a
Unnecessary prerequisite for success in No
"vember.n
We "recognize it as a political dutyn of
the President to mind his own business. and
let the people of Pennsylvania manage their
elections in their own way. The Admnistra-
ton is paid to execute the laws, not to give
"active support" to its favorite candidates
for office; and it is just such interference as
Grant now promises in Pennsylvania that has
debased our Civil Service. degraded the busi-
ness of politics, and filed every department
of public life with corruption. Everybody
knows what the "active sympathy and SUD-
"port of the Administration signify.

Gen. Butler made q somewhat loose and in

the most frightful things as the result of Mr..
