The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-10-11

On Wednesday evening last, there
was held in Milwaukee a meeting of
prominent Germans, at which was con-
sidered the blunders of the Fond du
Lac platform, and its varience with
recognized Democratic principles. After
a full discussion of the matter, a COM
nittee was appointed to draft an address
to the Germans of the State. protesting
against these plumbers, especially on the
question of finance, to be reported at a
subsequent meeting. In considering
this question, Germans and all others
who incline to protest against the doc
trine of the Fond du Lac platform
should rememember that the man placed
at the head of the Democratic ticket is
in full sympathy with the financial views
of that platform Tt would be folly to
oppose the platform, and support the
candidate for Governor. He is a greater
fraud than the platform on which he
stands. -Stnte Journal.

THE Democratic party does not seem
to be an entirely happy family. The
Madison Democrat refuses either to in
dorse the Fond du Lac platform or to
keep quiet about it; the leve[headed
men of the party who regard the green
back panic Of the convention as absurd,
do not hesitate to openly denounce Gen.
Bragg's resolutions; the candidate for
the enant-governorship, Mr.. r. E..
Davis, it is rumored, has declined to
run; Judge Villas reached home declar-
ing he conld have had the nomination
but he'd be dashed if he'd stand on any
such disreputable concern as that plat
form; Mr.. Traits friends, who hoped
for defeat in a way that would benifi
the party, if defeat must come, are dis.
gusted-and altogether there is moi
much harmony among the democrats

The first res olution of every Demo
cratic convention this year is denun-
citation of the fraud" W which Presi-
dent Hayes came to his Office. In mark
ed contrast with this puerile folly is the
utteranee of Alexander III. Stevens, of
Georgia. He says: think MIR. Hayes
tenure is firmer than that of any Presi-
dent ever inaugurated in the United
States. He holds his Office by the judg-
ment of the highest Judicial tribunal in
the land. Even if L thought their de-
cision wrong. which do not. should
bow to it as I would to any decree from
the bench.

THE Wisconsin Democrats are in a
state of mind about their soft money
platform and candidate. The convention
seems to have been managed chiefly for
the interest of the Republican party.
The leading party journals ere pretty
careful about openly assailing the can
didate, but they kick the platform with
out mercy. One of them says it is san
unqualified breach Of tristan attempt
At the utter obliteration of the last yes
tige of the Democracy" AS the plat
form is the expression of the faith of
the candidate, it is hard to see how he
can fail to interpret this as direct
blow at himself.-New York Tribune.

EmpLoymrNrs AND WAGES OF Women

EMpLoYMENTs AND WAGES OF WOMEN.
Miss Jennie Collins. in her annual re-
port of the management of Boffin's Bow
er, says the Boston Herald, refers to
changes which have occurred in indus
trial employment since the close of the
war, and says: "Before the civil war a
girls wages ranged from S. to $40 per
week, and So was the cost of board. At
present her wages range from Sc to $40
and upward, but she is obliged to pay SIS
for board, and all that she consumes is
indirectly taxed to make up the five mill
lion dollars this State annually pays to
keep breath in the vast army of non>
producers. Women in coarser grades OF
work are paid from So to SIS per week,
on an average 81. One OF them when
asked how she could live on that amount
answered, Like mouse in the wall"
Women have crowded men out of their
original domain, not only in the profess
sions, but in the industrial branches.
In this city alone seventy-five distinct
crafts are omen to women, (men are only
needed as assistants,) while not more
than nine or ten are exclusively con-
trolled by the sterner sex. There are
sixty thousand more WON en- than men IN
the Commonwealth, but in our hospit>
ais, almshouses and prisons the latter
outnumber the former by two to one.

EWES TOMB.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is at
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. Tie tenn
pie with palm growing out of its centre
is supposed to mark the place where
Ewes head rests, and a domed mosque is
believed to be exactly over her womb.
According to the Arabs, ! the lady meas
ured about 200 feet IN height, butjudging
by the dimesions of her tomb, 1t would
seem that the Ishmaelites much under
rate her real length. Arabs, however,
are very bad judges of distances, and
nearly always have a horror of telling the
the truth The sacred ground, which Is
pretty thickly studded with tom bstones
of departed Sheiks and other worthless, is
ipclosed by high white wall; few small
shrubs and also plants struggle for exist
ence among the gravestones, and close to
the domed mosque is tree growing over
some great mans grave, which is sur
rounded by ratings. There are many
legends and superstitions concerning this
celebrated place, but L had not time to
collect any that would be worth relating.
1t is visited by numerous pilgrims. Bach
sheesh, of course, is in great request by
the well-dressed Arab as well as the rag
ged, Jiddah is clean, fine looking town
at a distance; but on a nearer approach
the illusion will be dispelled, and many
aromas mot of am bergis or burned sandal
woody, powerful as a soap factory assail
the nose. This gets worse as one lands,
but there is no time to waste thinking of
such trifle, for sharp watch has to be
kept on the NANCY, opthalmic dogs, who
amuse themselves by barking and snap-
ping at the legs of any one who makes
| use of of soap and water. AT night it is
necessary for Europeans to carry a light
and a good stick, well planted blow
from the latter doing wonders IN warning

J. P. BENJAMIN.

Correcting some misstatements con-
tained in London letter to Cincin-
natl paper, the New Orleans Democrat
says: ... H.
"Mr. Judah P. Benjamin was not born
in San Domingo, but in one of the Brit
ish West Indies, fact which gave him
the position which enabled him to obtain
admission to the bar of England. He was
an infant when his parents emigrated to
Charleston, S. c., and his name appears
in the naturalization papers Of his father.
1t is true in general that Mr.. Ben jamin's
income from his professional labors was
large. but not larger than his eminent
talents, wonderful industry, power OF
work, and versatility and solidity OF
talents merited. But it is not true that
in the Almaden quicksilver mine his fees
amounted to $500,000. On the contrary
we believe that Mr.. Beniamin's shares OF
the compensation allowed with several
distinguished attorneys in that case was
smaller than that of several others, and
did not exceed $20,000. The largest fee
derived from the case was that of the late
Robert j, Walker, which amounted to
PGtO,OOOs
The late Louis Janin, also of our bar,
received some $5S,000 in the same case.
Large fees were also paid to the late. Ed
win M. Stanton, We thing also to Jere-
miah S. Black and Edmund Randolph.
formerly of our bar The case was one
of immense Importance. and involve d
many millions of value, and the services
of these eminent jurists were not over-
daid. 1t is an interesting and sorrowful
fact that the late Robert j.. Walker, with
all his great ability as jurist and a
financier, lost every dollar of this large
fee by investing the whole amount in
Sir Morton Peto's great railroad swim
die, and left his family in poverty. Mr..
Benjamin was alike unfortunate or i'm
brovident in his investment of his large
professional revenues. Sugar planting
swept off about $500, 900. Tehuantepec a
large amount, and guano speculation
in South America the remainder of his
hard earnings. Finally the downfall OF
the Copfederacy drove him fugitive
from our country In an open boat row!
ed by a negro, he passed from Florida
to Nassau, where he landed with single
dollar in his pocket. The war had
destroyed every vestige of his property.

Coming Southern Prosperity.

The New York Express publishes
letter from White Sulphur Springs, by
Mr.. Erastps Brooks, upon, the labor of
the South, the feeling there, and the stea-
dy growth eff that section of the country
since the war. He gives gratifying pic
ture of the recuperation of those lately
impoverished States. He says that ex-
hausted fields are being renovated, old
railroads restored and new ones built,
horses and cattle have been multiplied
faster than in the Moth, and he predicts
sfor the future South, If not a new heav-
en- new earth, and such prosperity as
the country south of the Potomac has
never known before. The secret of the
change is that labor is now not only'hou-
ora5le but honored," and MIR. Brooks
adds:
"Men of the workshops and the stores
of the farms and the mills, laborers upon
the rail from firemen to engineers, from
miners to track layers, from clerks to
traders, no longer lose caste. The F. f
VS. mean that to earn ones bread by the
sweat of ones face is the highest badge Oh
distinction. Virginia now raises not on-
ly what she eats, but sends literally some
millions in value of her products to mar
ket. Her wheat is in New York as well
as in South America. Her corn fields
cover more acres than the eyes can scar
IN weak's busy travel. Along her bay:
rivers, creeks and estuaries there is un-
told wealth. She Is near the sea, neal
the North, and near the West. She ha.
great water power, and now comes the
grand development of that man-powel
which, if | mistake not, will change the
whole face of countless fields and hill sand
water courses" .".I ,t-JG llii
| MIR. Brooks takes ground different from
that once held by Mr., Jefferson and many
modern statesmen before the abolition OF
slavery, and hold that the deportation Of
the blacks would be a misfortune to the
South, as the colored man there is not
only the chief source of labor, but likely
to remain so. While there never can be
social equality, there is no law which for
bids the choice of labor or the reward OF
toll, and as to political equality it il
worthy of note that the constitutional
convention of Georgia las added its de
cree to that of the federal constitution
and it already exists everywhere.

THE GREATEST LIVING GEN.
lERAL.A III --.---

Delicacy should have forbidden Marshal
MacM ahon TO say that Grant is "the great
est living general" Ii would have been
more becoming 10 him to hsve ascribed that
place toV on moiike. For Won N oltke smashed
France IN single campaign, capturing Mac
Mahons. army and its emperor. We doubt
very much that MacMahon gave this high
praise to Grant. II may be part of the
system Of puffery aud hunkeyism that Ia
manufacturing strength for Grant in 1880
but the marshaps reasons for considering
Grant the greatest living general are based
upon large and curious misinformation.
The superior control evinced by General
Grant" said the marshal, sin moving large
masses OF men, and his Opiniatrete in ad-
herring TO bis plan OF campaign; mark him
as the greatest of living generals Super
lor control OF large masses of men is what
Grant never displayed. They were sent to
him in quantities, but he used HIM in de-
tall and never carried out with them a
great concerted movement. His reverse of
skill in handling large bodies of men is
| shown by the fact that Lee, with one-third
his force, presented frontto him and neutral
ized to agreat degree his superior numbers.
HIS lack Of skill in this respect is shown by
the fact that he lost more men from the
Rapidan to the Chickahominy than were in
LEGS whole army. He put his men into
slaughter-psn after slaughterspen, while he
sat off in the rear smoking and saying,
"Ssnd the men iu.' Tue unflinching pluck
with which Grants troops marched UP to
death is worthy of all admiration, bat It is
unjust to take glory from them and give it
| to the generalsbip of Grant. The test of
great leader is the accomplishment of large
results with insufhcienI material. Grant
had superabundant material Of all kinds,
and yet he WAS foiled for year by the
shadow of an army, which surrendered to
him at last not twenty thousand men.
Grant won. IL is true. He has the test of
merlt--success. But he says himself in his
report he won by 'attrition" by giving
two lives for one, until The rebel force was
worn down. But can this be called gener>
alship, or the skilifni moving of large mass
| es of men? Turn from this picture to Won
Moltze. There was a man who did handle
large masses with SKILL The campaign OF
Konigratz was marvel, thunderboit.
The whole vast strength of Austria was
| broken in campaign of six weeks. Then
| the Franco-Prussian war--it was a series
OF such staggering bows that in a short
summer the army Of Baz aine, $4,000 men,
surrendered ; MacMahon's army OF 100000
surrsnd dered, and the vaunted strength OF a
military empire laid in the dust. That
was generalship, and MacMahon makes
himself ridiculous when he ignores it, and
| says Grants "Attrition" makes him the
greatest living soldier.
