tFor the Republican,
JOSeDh Cook,

MgssRs. EDrToRs In this day when
the real dignity of humanity is often
overlooked, and so many thousands in
manufacturing towns are only valued
for the physical strength they have
with which to serve few Of their fel
low creatures little more fortunate,
and a great deal more selfish than
themselves, 1t is a cause for thanks to
God for raising up such an instructor
in social science as Joseph Cook. His
ann is to bless at once the employee
and employer, and both classes crowd
his auditorium. He wakes them up to
conscience by saying Your daughter
is not at the looms, but her grand
daughter may be-" Pace thoughtfully
to and fro in the city slums, for your
descrndents may live there. In Amer
lea the children of Lazarus may rise to
the position of Dives, and those of
Dives may sink to the level Of Lazarus.
Under Republican institutions the in
terests OF the rich man are every man 5
interests, and tie interests of the poor
man are every mans also. Such is the
Of American society, that the
cause of the working girl is the cause
OF the parlor on Fifth Avenue; the
cause of the poorest shop-boy is the
cause Of the millionaire, the cause of
the woman hind the whirling wheels
Of trade, laboring under unspeakable
and bringing into the
world offspring tired from birth, is the
cause of the most luxurious household
that to-day kaeels about any family al
tar on Beacon street, or of late lifted up
thanksgiving in any happy New Eng
land house" Such is a partial intro
duction to lecture on Sex il indus.
try" which every one employing fe-
males ought to read and profit by it
il they do not want to continue that

women) that makes countless millions

Christmas Recess sf Congress

Congress adjourned yesterday at 2
o, clock P NJ. for holidays. The brief
session since the first Monday in Decem-
Der has been mostly taken upwith bus
mess, and very little politics, and that
chiefly of S-natos Blaine's manufacture,
has been permitted to intrude. Good
progress has been made with the ap-
preparation bills, the yellow fever com
mission has been designated and has
gone to work, and the prospects are
that fair amount of actual bushes
will be concluded in the remaining
pert of the session after the recess. The
passage ofa satisfactory electoral bill is
doubtful. Mr.. Edmund bill, which
passed the Senate, is not likely to be
acceptable to the House, and Mr.. South
ards bill which the House committee
seems to favor, will scarcely pass the
Senate. 1t is earnestly to be hoped,
however, that a proper measure will
become law before the next presiden-
tial count will be made, Congress re-
assem- bles ell the 7tli Of January.

ssGersng In England.

When parliament opened the Minis
Try was severely criticized by the Op
position for saying nothing in the
Queens Address about the distress tina,
prevails in the country in consequence
of ths commercial depression. Lord
Beaconsfield in reply. alluded to Tn,
matters In a few light and airy phrases
as Of no great importance, and yester-
day ,one of his associates, Mr.. Cross, the
Home Secretary, adopted nearly the
same tone, assuring the House of Com.
mons that there Is no cause for alarm.
The fact, however seems to be that III,
suffering among the English laborinp
classes Is nearly as great as It was in
Lancashire during the cotton famine in
1867, and far greater than II has been
In this country since the panic of 1873.
The Government is disposed 70 avoid
the subject, or at least to treat 1t a. A
matter oftrivial moment, because they
are naturally unwilling to confess the
folly OF beginning a senseless and in.
famous war which will increase the
