Stage Drivers Finance.

In another column we give the story Of
needy stage driver--as neat piece Of satire,
perhaps unconscious, as has lately seen the
light. Our correspondent deals with the
problem of stage drivers wages and stage
owners profits and an oscillating point of
equilibrium between the two From all the
known facts it appears that stage owners have
always systematically underpaid their drivers
from the certainty that the drivers would
compensate themselves out of the fares. The
Court awarded it and the law allowed it. In
that way the drivers were part owners On
good day they made o great deal, on poor day
less. In short, the owners recognized resu-
lar dishonesty as part Of their system, and
while this was in full operation they most un-
fairly, and without the consent OF the drivers,
introduced the boxes or automatic fare col
lectors. This compelled the drivers to DO
ruinously honest. 1t was as If a man should
turn all his chickens into ducks aud then dry

Theatrical Nufsances.

The lady who invoked our aid to abate the
annoyance caused by the male portion of the
audience leaving their seats during theatrical
performances has evidently thrust her head
into hornets nest, and her chignon is in
danger. Man is long suffering animal, but
the insult which our lady correspondent
in the name Of the fair sex offered
to mankind in gen eral by sweeping assevern-
tons on the score of his ''smiling" propensi-
ties, added to the injury suffered from
chignons, has proved too much for his good
temper. We publish IN another column a
specimen of the communications that have
been pouring in on US, and we fear the result
of the unhappy letter will be a male crusade
against false hair and feathers. If the
flag of revolt-"No chignons and 40
feathers" should be once hung out.
there will be such a rally of theatre-going
males that we tremble for the topknoss of our
lady friends. OF course the HERALD will
always be on the side of the ladies whether
they are in the right or the wrong, and should
any iconoclasGc manager attempt to disturb

The saviors of society have ever been INST
with scorn, obloquy and persecution. In
nothing does history repeat itself with such
persistency as in this hatred and ill-will to
those who would save men from their evil pas
sions. Even this free and enlightened Repub-
lie and boosted nineteenth century are no safe
guards for the enthusiast in the cause Of
humanity. The temperance ladies have dis
covered this unpleasant fact to their chagrin.
They prayed and sang and paraded un-
til in their eagerness to do good they
made themselves in the eyes of the law s.a
nuisance and on obstruction" Then that
unpoetic creature, the policeman, who is no
respecter Of high morality, no weigher of ele-
waited motive, took the ladies by the chignon
and marched them into the nearest police sta.
ton. Forty victims to this legal persecution
were pounced upon in Pittsburg, Pa, and be-
fore the fair crusaders could return to their 'an
firesides" they were obliged to give bail. This
is indeed q sad end to the crusade. The tenn
perance ladies' have put themselves in the
place of the victims Of King Alcohol and win

spite of this little contretemps the ladies prom

The FRENCH MINISTRY. Assembly
have given proof of desire to support Mar
shall MacMahon in his efforts to create gov
eminent by adjourning till Thursday. There
is in this act welcome assurance that the
French Representatives are not wholly the
slaves of faction. Expediency has at last as
serted itself, and it may be that the govern
ment will receive such support as will rem
der the immediate dissolution Of the As
sembly unnecessary. This will be am
advantage to France, though it may
delay the aspirations of some parties
in the State. Were the Assembly dissolved
now the republicans would probably sweep
the country, and this fear will restrain the
royalists and Bonapartists from obstructing
the government so as to render an immediate
appeal to the country necessary. The repub-
licans, too, can well afford to whit. Every
days experience strengthens the hold Of re-
publican opinions on the peasants, who are
learning that neither kings nor emperors arc

up the ponds. Yet the owners recognized
the operation Of the boxes to some degree. fof
upon introducing them they increased the
wages seventy-fve cents day; but this. tbs
drivers say, is too little for the real difference
and they want fifty cents more and our
opinion is that the owners should not como
any sharp practice over these poor fellows,
who state their case with the simple sincerity
OF thoroughly honest and upright men, who
cheated fair while they had the chance. Per-
haps the drivers ought to consider it some
portion Of the equivalent for this fifty cents
that they are now paid by somebody else and
are not compelled to pay themselves and
we mention it difidently-the fact that their
accounts may stand better on the books
of the recording angel is. perhaps, of soma
value.

Spirit OF tho Religious Press.

Our religious contemporaries this week run
them. The Independent, which is making .
fresh move to larger quarters on Broadway,
does not 90 needless of the claims Of suffering
humanity on its columns 1t suggests that to-
day collections be taken up here in all the
churches in aid Of the suffering operatives BY
the Mill River disaster. This is . good sug-
gestion and should be acted on promptly.
The Christian Union briefly seconds the caH
for pecuniary help at once, and dwells at length
on the intricate relations of capital and labor
in England to each other and to the State
Church. It's comments are based on the Clock
out for the last two years of the Agricultural
Laborers' Union. The influence of the State
Church party, with here and there notable
exception, is given in favor of the farmers, and
the laborers are in consequence going into dis
sent This transfer will, by and by, result in
disestablishment and possibly in the abolition
of the right of primogeniture, entail and other
ancient laws and customs of Great Britain, and
it is hard to tell what the end may be.
The Methodist has good word for the Re-
formed Episcopalians 1t says the leaders Of
this reform movement are not self-seekers;
they are not sectarians or schismatics. They
have left the Church of their fathers with the
kindest expressions of love for it and for all
connected with it, and Of hope that it may be
cured Of the evils that beset it. They have
left the narrowest of sects, the most culpable
of schisms, to engraft themselves into the
true church universal, the alliance of believers
Of various names but the same spirit.
Church and State, discussing the ritualist
and reform controversy in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, contends that the present
need of the Church is ''the allaying of the bit
terness Of controversy and the shaping Of all
the elements of our system so as to ft it for
the largest work for Christ, and open it to the
freest and fullest influences of the Holy
Spirit"
The Freensan's Journal is too full of the Pill
grimage and it's concomitants to find space for
any other topic in it's editorial columns. The
Tablet divides its attention with its own enter
prise, sOur Lady of Lourdes," and certain
criticisms Of the Observer on the Pope and the
Bible The Catholic Revie,c dismisses the Pill
grimage in few words, and enters into the
Encyclopedia controversy with it's usual vigor,

sumptions of the Papacy against the structures
of Boston contemporary.
The Je,oish Messenger glories over the deveL
opment of taste for Hebrew study and litera-
ture since the Hebrew free schools were
started here in 1854, and it calls for the CO

or enforce any Inv which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States nor shall any State deprive
any person OF life, liberty or property without
due process FLAW nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection Of the
laws" These are the wise and safe indca-
tons of the only appropriate legislation that
Is possible. Congress may define within Ger
tain limits course for the sovereign States,
but it cannot GUST them and pretend to per-
form their minuter functions.
But if this legislation is foolish constitu-
tionally and as it regards national politics. it
is even worse in its aspect from the standpoint
of general or abstract politics. It directly
provokes, excites and cultivates the antipa-
thies of race and caste by forcing
into prominence distinctions that are ineradi-
cable. It enforces conflict by causing the
law to give an equality which the Creator has
denied, and ruinously Injuries the race it pre-
tends to serve by placing it in position OF
antagonism to superior and dominant race.
No laws on such subjects are sound or efec-
tive save in so far as they are declaratory OF
actual conditions. If the law designates
line of action that is in accord with the ten
denotes of human pride and passion there is
harmonious operation; bu. if law and human
nature are in conflict it is human nature that
prevails, and every ineffective law that is made
is direct loss to the moral power of the
State.
Senators, however, do not care what the
operation Of this law will be. They give
vote for it as they might place bait to catch
the negro in their political trap. They do
not even care if the bill is beaten, SO that they
can lay the fault of its defeat upon the oppo-
sition. We are not sure but they vote for it
the more readily from confident anticipation
that it will not get through; for thus they
will secure credit with the negro and have
no responsibility for bad law. They vote
also as men who bid desperately on last
call There is no rational probability that
after this Congress there will ever be another
with republican majority; but if there is it
will only be through negro votes, and thus
they venture all the claim they have on the
white man for desperate endeavor to gain
the negro

LEGAL VIoLENCE.-Another police clubbing
case has occurred on Broadway, in which,
without any right, the officers undertook to
arrest and pummel gentleman in his own
store because he objected to the entrance Of
the police without warrant. If public conf
dence is to exist in the police force these
breaches of the clearly laid down rules Of
police procedure will have to be brought to
an end. What have the Mayor and the
Police Commissioners to say to the matter?

yearly meeting at the meeting house, Rut-

CREATING MORE OFFIcEs.-The great noise
made short time ago about retrenchment and
cutting down the expenses of the departments
in Washington is likely to end in smoke There
have been several propositions to create new
offices or to add to the clerical force, and
now an amendment has been offered to the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropri-
ant Secretary of State, with salary of SO, 500
year. 1t is hard to bring either the depart
ments or Congress to economy.

worse a bill signed by the Governor and now

in question is an amendment of the city char

may be, defeats the object designed to be ac-

The DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN
FRANCE AND GEnMANY.-Prince Clovis Hohen-
lobe has presented his credentials as German
Ambassador to France to President Mac
Mahon. The most friendly assurances were,
as we are informed by cable, exchanged on
the occasion. Prince Clovis Hohenlohe ranks
as an excellently devout German Catholic.
In this respect he will be agreeable to the
French President. His appointment as AM
bassador of the Emperor of Germany will be
accepted in France as a covert contradiction
to Bismarck's Church policy. Beyond this
the friendly assurances" may be set down as
mere diplomatic palaver.

F,KrAs AscAvEsGER.-Furnacc fires

FIREAs A ScAvENGER.-Furn fires
and cooking ranges are now in order.
The primary uses and conveniences OF
these domestic contriyances nobody
needs to te reminded Of. There is an
other purpose they may be made to serve
which is less appreciated. Fire is the
very best agent for all sanitary and puri-
flying purposes, and in one respect has
the advantage over water-it requires
no after labor to remove its own effects,
but docs its work clearly and thorough
ly. Whoever notes the 'ash-barrels"
and "slop buckets" must have OBJ
served the presence Of two classes Of So
called garbage" One of these is made
up of articles which were fit for human
food till they ware spoiled by being
thrown among dust and offal. The waste
in this direction in large American towns
and cities is most reprehensible. What
the family does not care to consume
would be very acceptable to many hum
cry persons.
Another class of 'ohal' consists of
substances which are not fit for food,
vegetable parings and refused bones,
rags, scraps of paper and all sorts of rub-
bish The furnace, the cooking
stove Or the range might reduce
these to ashes-especally in the
winter season, when "draughts' are
good and fires are bright. A good mana
ger in the kitchen can, by keeping such
refuse dry, find place for it all in the
kitchen range or in the furnace in the
cellar. Such things should be disposed
of day by day and not suffered to accumu-
late, and the rubbish would in this way
rive no more trouble than the sweepings
of the floor or the dust on the furniture.
Such topic rs this may appear to be I'M
worthy the attention of housekeepers,
but when by neglect Of simple and easy
precautions, the streets of the city, and
the narrow streets and courts especially,
become nuisances, occasion is given for
complaints among neighbors and thus
bad feeling is cngendered, besides the
public aspect of the nuisance.

WHERE To FIND PIANOS AND Or
GANs.-At 1927 Market street may be
found the largest stock of Pianos and
Organs ever offered in Wheeling, and Il
finer assortment than can be found in
any other music store in the country.
The stock includes the various styles of
Steinway, Knabe, Chickering, Hazleton,
Emerson, Marshal & Smith, and other
Pianos, and Mason & Hamlin, Smith
American, Wood, Estey and other Or
gans. In stock so large and varied,
with prices ranging from 500 to $1,000
on Pianos, and from $50 to $500 on Or
gans, certainly no one can fail to be
suited in the selection of an instrument.
Terms arranged to suit all.
