Turned about ON Mixing Poll.
tics and RELIGION.

When the Tribune was republican pa
per it had no fault to find with mixing
politics and religion. But having changed
its politics and gone into the arms Of the
democracy 1t is now growing about mix
ing politics and religion. In the issue OF
Thursday it says:
We think it hardly in good taste, to say the
least, to turn Methodist Campmeetngs into
Grant Mass Meetings; but If the Methodists
can stand 1t we can. At meeting OF TINS
description held at Sterling, Mass, on the 23d
inst, the Rev. DR.. Webster, presiding elder
Of the Charleston District. 9. c., urged
upon every member of the Methodist Church
to 20 the polls and secure the reelection Of
Gen. Grant" Then another clergyman (name
not siven) said elf Greeley was elected the
lives of carpet baggers would not be worth a
straw" We are sure that if intelligent Meth
odists will seriously consider the probable
result Of such mixture of religion and poll
tics MS this, they will agree with US that it is
hardly desirable in the interest of either
We presume the ministers and churches
will all make note of the remarks of Mr.
Greeley's organ, and change their prac-
tice to favor and correspond with his
change of principles and parties.

TALK AT TIE roILEr.-Every lady's maid
knows that the bewitching beings who pa, e
their triumphant way with conquered hearts,
regard a splendid head of hair the most n. c.
tive of all womanly destinations. The be-
lieve, and are right, that they can lasso as
many beaux with the luxuriant ringlets and
glossy braids as they can kill at sight" with
their beaming eyes. Hence in their "toilet
talk" among themselves and with their at
tendants. the merits of preparations for the
hair are freely canvassed, and the latest re-
suit of this discussion seems to be the almost
universal adoption Of LroN's KArHAIRoS as
an article better adapted to promote the
growth and beauty of the "Chief Glory Of
Woman than any other at present before the
world. They say that without irritating the
skin of the head it eradicates dandruff, and
that it penetrates below the surface to the
roots of the hair, endowing them with new
life and vigor. aug21-twlwe, I'D

The Indictment weather yesterday pre-
vented the great gathering which had
been anticipated. but in spite of the storm
there were many present from distance,
and the meeting was one of interest and
profit. The distinguished speakers adj
dressed the people with power and elo-
quence and were rapturously applauded.
Had the weather been favorable, the
meeting would have been the largest Of
the campaign. and the display the best.
Now we must pick our fints" and push
forward, making up by closer organization
and more thorough work for any def
ciences which may appear rs the result Of
the meeting.

How the vile and Criminal of
New York Vote.

Where Mr.. Greeley gets his support is
illustrated by recent report in the New
York Herald of a day at the Special
Sessions Court in New York. 1.-The
prison box" says the Herald, twas
crammed with the vilcst creatures the
great metropolis can produce, and from it
arose an odor altogether peculiar and not
at all fragrant" "Of old offenders
there was any number-men and women
who spend four-fths of their time on the
wrong side of prison bars. cursing their
Maker and signing for the end Of their
wretched existence. which happily for So
ciety, will soon come" The Herald con-
tinues: "While waiting for the arrival Of
the Justices-Messrs. Scott, Shandley and
Ledwith-an invidual wearing the proven
bal anti historic white hat. which he had
just procured from 4 member Of the Gen
eral Committee at the Aston House, took
paper and pencil and proceeded to canvass
the assemblage. prisoners and all. The
result was-Greeley, 20i: Grant, Sc.
Paddy the Smasher." notorious Fourth
ward rough, could not forego the pleasure
of keeping up his usual custom of repeat
ing, SO voted four times for the Cincinnati
nominees, which he declared was not one
sixteenth the number of votes he is &C.
customed to casting at regular election"
Among the prisoners but one was found
willing to swallow the Grant pill. He
was subsequently acquitted of a charge of
assault and battery"

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1872-05-22

The New York strikers seem likely to have
an easy victory. The workmen demand that
eight hours shall constitute days labor reeeiy-
ing full pay. The bricklayers, masons and car
IenteTs have carried their point, and the others
VIII doubtless DO the same, as the demand l.
made at the time of the year when the builders
have heavy contracts TO fulfil and must sue
cumb. IL Is argued that in equity the workmen
she nd give due notice OF intention to strike,
and should not take advantage of the opportu-
nity to force concessions from the EMPLOYERS
when the latter are hampered by contracts.
Undoubtedly there is a reciprocity OF interests
between employers and the EN- ploysd, and there
should be mutual understanding between the
two classes; but until the millennium comes
there doubtless never will be. and 80 long as en-
Pioyers take the opportunity to reduce wages in
dIll times, or when winter comes on, they must
expect the workmen to improve their opportu-
mites at the commencement OF the busy season.
Whether the eight-hour rule will prove as bene-
hclal Tor the workmen as Is claimed may be a
matter OF question; bat that is for them to set
tie- They are of age, are masters OF their own
trans and muscles, and have the right TO saw
whether they will use them eight hours or ten,
or what they will demand :or their use Der hour
when employed.

Under this head London Punch has been in
Che habit OF setting forth pictorialIy and other
wise the miseries Of housekeepers in dealing
with "ihe governing class in modern house
LOldS-the ''sarvant gals" But absurdly ludi-
CrouS a. were the PsneA pictures representing
the obstreperous cook ordering her mistress
from the kitchen, or the high-toned chamber
maid demanding that the mistress should "giye
references" before engaging with her, or the
candid butler sPologizing for giving his master
bad wine on the ground that somebody must
drink it. and nobody would touch it in the
Kitchen" they can hardly be called greatly ex-
asgeTatef, in view OF the features OF the rseent
strike Of servant girls IN some parts of England
and Scotland. In Dundee the aristocrats of the
kitchen have been holding formidable meet
iEgs, which have resulted in a strike fer higher
wages, fever hours of work, and in remon-
s;ranCeS against the fastidiOusness of employers.
The Eousekeepers OF Great Britain are repre-
seIted to he in demoralized state, and hardly
prepared to make a stand against their compact
and iOTmidable adversaries. Probably they will
~uccUmb, and the strike, as with the case OF
male strikes in Europe. will sweep over to this
country. Our hOuSekeepers may a. well be pre-
pairing for the unpleasant contingency. They
have been in the habit of giving servants their
own price, 30 there is likely TO be no hitch on
that score, but We may expect that the move
ment viii here take the shape of demand for
less hours tor the days work; for holidays We'd
Eesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays; for a full re-
cOgnition Of the right of the servant girls to
entertain any number OF male cousins; for a
similar concession OF right to wear the mis-
tress' new dresses or new bonnets; and also to
levy an undisputed per centage upon the sugar,
tea, coffee, butter, &c, in the pantry. These
things conceded, it is probable that the servant
girls will consent to tolerate their employers for
while longer.
