Mr.. Editor: Please say to any of
your readers who may be thinking of
coming to Philadelphia to find work.
that they had better not come: The
city is flooded with men from all parts
Of the country, who have imagined that
the Centennial would bring with it
plenty of employment for everybody !!
They have forgotten the fact that thou
sands of good workmen, resident in the
city. are now out of employment be-
cause of the stoppage of the wheels of
industry in foundriea, mills, shops and
stores-and while the Exhibition, has
given, and will give, work to thou
sands. yet the supply already far ex-
ceeds any possible demand. The new
corners are not only bitterly disappoint-
ed, but worse, for their little means is
soon exhausted. and they are driven
often to the very verge Of starvation.
while hundreds have to seek the shelter
of the station houses, or walk the streets
the whole night long.
The writer is led to send this com
munication because of the large number
of letters and calls be is constantly ie-
ceiving from persons in great distress.
whose experience is suggested in the
foregoing; and he feels that he cannot
do kinder service to the young men
outside of Philadelphia. than to urge
them. for their o~n sake, to remain at
home. unless they have the positive
promise of something to do when they
come to the city. and come for the pur-
pose of claiming the promise.

Mexico is again in a hubbub; another
revolution is in progress, and the in
surgents are having things pretty much
their own way in the Vera Cruz region
and along the Rio Grande. Things
look. just now. pretty squally for the
government and President Lerdo will
have to look sharp if be is not ousted
from his place. The Mexicans are az
fond of change and as great admirers
of successful military men, as the
French, and few defeats Of the Gov
ernment troops will cause many wh"
are hating in their opinions to 60 ovel
to the revolutionists, thereby strength
ening the movement. Mexico hasn't had
a revolution since Juarez upset Max

tired of the dullness of the times, and
a little fighting and q new order OF
things will be heartily relished. When

RreHr has at last obtained triumph
over Might. The infamous Enforce
ment Acts, passed in company with
and for the purpose Of. inforcing the
illegally adopted fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution, have
been declared unconstitutional by the
highest judicial tribunal of the land
Thus the appropriate Legislation
which has been styled the elimination
of Yankee hate and malice against the
South, becomes nuA and void, and can
no longer be executed. Were the Con-
stitutioual amendments under which
these acts were passed subjected to the
same judicial test. it is more than pro-
bable that they would meet with the
same result as did the enforcement
Acts.

THE papers are praising Susan b.
Anthony for paying of an Indebtedness
Of $40. incurred by the failure o.
her paper, The Revolution, some years

praise that can be bestowed upon It,
and when brought into comparison with
the conduct Of Christian q gentlemen
who fail, (too often with their hands
falD and never make an effort after
ward to pay their old debts, from which
they have been relieved, in law, BY the
Bankrupt act, it is extraordinary and
evinces an honesty almost superhuman
But Susan B. Anthony is a Tomdn,

discharge Of their financial obligations.
Merchants and other business men say
that they seldom if ever lose anything
by trusting women when the woman
only is responsible.
