starvation wages in Germany.

According to the Berlfner Volhszeitung
q, weaver who works uninterruptedly
sixteen hours day can earn in nine
DAYS six marks ($l.1D, or in q day
IA IL to 16 cents, provided one person
can assist in the starching OF the yarns,
In driving shearing, etc. In heavy colored
cotton bed-ticking seven marks( $l.68)
may be realized during the same space
of time with the assistance OF one person
for the same purposes as indicated. A
single weaver, however. without any
assistance would need from fifteen to
sixteen days to produce such piece OF
goods, and his daily wages would then
amountto from II to u 1-2 cents. But,
as not all weavers can perform this la
Dor, the greater portion OF them must
work in linen and half-linen articles,
which yield to whole family, for sixty
to sixty-two meters, 2.60 to 2.SO marks
for four days incessant labor. O., from
62 IL to 65 cents in four days, or u IL
cents day! In spooling and winding
up the chains, etc., old people and chill
dren must assist. Performing such
work these poor people live on bread
soups, potatoes and burned flour. But,
as they are not constantly employed, the
wolf looks too often into their miserable
novels. Incredible as it may seem, the
most of these poor weavers have moi
tasted meat for years. lsaW Y.ita

Miss Mary Hamnett, progresses
ing young woman of Allegheny, Pa, is
clerk in a dry-goods shop. One even
ing, just as the shop was shutting up,
she went back into it to get something
which she had forgotten. The book
keeper did not know that she was inside,
and locked up the door and left. Miss
Hamnett tried all the doors and win
dows, but could find no way of getting
out. She ratified on the windows, but
the passers by paid no attention to her,
and thus two hours passed. Then she
went to the telephone, but did not I'M
derstand how to work it. She fooled
around it and in some manner gave a
signal to the central office. Answer
was sent back, of course, by ringing the
signal bells. The captive girl, who was
not well informed about the telephone,
got it into her head that the ringing of
tbs b sllS y WAS caused by fire in the build,
til she was hoarse. She made another
examination of the telephone, and final
ly mastered the manner of working the
instrument. She got the central Office
and told the operator of her condition.
1t was then rather late at night, and
word was sent to a member of the firm,
by whom man was sent with key to
liberate her.

THE PRESIDENT.

The President yesterday was regarded
by his medical attendants as being slightly
better. It was indeed hoped by the more
sanguine that he had ceased to sink,
and that he had begun to mend. A care
full analysis of the voluminous reports con.
corning his condition, however, does not
appear to justify any citation. It remains
true that he is in state of almost hopeless
exhaustion that his blood is in so morbid
a condition as to set up disorganizing
processes instead of 1ecuperative ones
that the erection of every such process adds
a fresh drain to his system, and detracts
SO much more from the chances of his re-
covery; that the inflammation of the
parotid gland has by no means run its
course, and that it may at any time
produce fatal blood-poisoning that in
fact, though his stomach continues stronger,
and he shows some faint appetite, yet his
life still hangs by hair. Under such cir
cumstances it is neither wise nor profta
BILE to rush from despair to exultation. All
that can be truly said is that the President
is little-a very little-better than he
was forty eight hours ago. But it must
not be forgotten that forty eight hours ago
he was practically given over. Should he
continue to exhibit more and more favora-
bic symptoms for week, it would at the
end of that time be justifable to indulge
in hope of his recovery. AT present the
facts warrant nothing but the most anxious

people bodily, would have been
very discouraging and demoralizing.
1t was evident that this was the end de-
sired by Parnell, who has scarcely made
secret of his purpose to reject every gov
ernmental concession which did not go
the length of repeal of the act of
union. But the Irish people have
studied and mastered the land bill, and the
tenants at least fully understand that it
confers upon them benefits and advantages
which they could not obtain in any other
way. They are therefore determined to
give it a fair trial, and Parnell has already
discovered that he cannot count upon the
cooperation of the local Leagues in pur-
suing faotious opposition to the Govern
ment. The Irish members indeed have,
with the exception of a small minority,
given the Government their support in
passing the bill, and Parnell cannot either
control bis colleagues or his countrymen.
The marvellous intellectual resources of the
Premier have never been more magnif-
Gently displayed than during the past
session. Neither age nor labor nor
the exhausting influence of late hours,
nor the friction of the Parnellite opposi-
ton, have caused him to swerve from his
course, to lose sight of the statesmanlike
aims before him, or have irritated him into
follies. At times, when goaded beyond
endurance by his antagonists, he has
hurled at them some of those scorching
philippics of which he is so consummate q
master, but for the most part he has ar
gued his way through all obstacles, and
has won the day at last through sheer SUI
premacy of brain power. Should his pub
lie career close now he Will have nobly
earned the distinction of one of the first of
British statesmen, and the future biog-
rapher and historian will marvel as they
find in the conduct Of this great campaign
so rare combination of the wisdom of
age with the fire and energy of youth.

THE SAFETY OF GUIrEAU.

1t appears that there exists real appre-
hension of a concerted movement for the
lynching of Guiteau in the event of the
Presidents death. It is reassuring to
learn that the military authorities are not
only prepared for such an outbreak, but
that they are fully determined upon pre-
venting the contemplated breach OF law.
1t is no doubt true that there is not in the
nation one man who would voluntarily lift
finger TO save the assassin from any pun
ishment that might be awarded him. But
1t must never be forgotten that if this Gov
eminent possesses any force whatever, or
any claim upon the esteem or respect of
the people, it is as a government of law
and order that it appeals to them. Nor
must it be forgotten that the whole world
is watching the course of events at Wash.
ington to-day, and that in some important
respects our institutions are on trial. The
death of the President would be very
hard to bear, and especially by those
"Ao hAoH tlid0 HIS dSS3a1lH Is
virtually within their power. But
there can be no excuse for mob violence in
such a case as this. Nothing is more GER
tain than that the death of the President
would be the death-warrant of his murderer.
But the punishment of that murderer must
be ia accordance with Law, and it must be
administered in conformity with statutory
requirements. He cannot escape OF that
there is no possible doubt. He is as surely
doomed as though he already stood upon
the trap and had the rope around his neck.
But he must die the legalized death of the
condemned felon, and not that OF the sub
ject of mob vengeance. 1t is the whole
country he has wronged, and the whole
country will insist that it shall participate
in the act of retribution It is to be hoped
therefore that whatever happens Guiteau
will be left to the process Of the law.
