A CORNER IN WOMEN,

Contrary to expectation and precedent
the new census shows That in this coun-
try the ruder sex outnumbers the gentlel
TO the extent Of nearly million. 1t Is TO
be sincerely hoped that nobody will say
"What are you going 10 do about it?" for
this is manifestly one OF the cases In
which there really Is nothing that eau be
dODe, except 70 feel uncomfortable, foI
the condition is not merely accidental
and temporary; ii promises to be per-
maueDt, for the discouraging mispropor-
uon Is not simply between ADULTS Of the
TWO sexes, but includes the entire pepn.
lation all the way from extreme age dow n
TO the cradle, and this in spite Of all tha
Mormons aud other agencies Tor the i'm
portatlon OF domestic servants have done
TO make the balance even. IL therefore
stands to reason that not enly is tbe
genus old maid doomed to speedy OK
Linction, but also that nearly million
of the young men of America will have
to 60 wifeless unless each can raise the
price of q icket to Europe and two
tickets back. 1t also becomes quits
evident that the local valuation of women
will increAse;any market In which nearly
q million competitors are sure 10 "get
left" In the struggle for something not
only desirable bat absolutely necessary, i,
is threatened with ''corner" that must
be simply gigantic in its proportions.
The ladies are 10 be congratulated on
the prospect; hey always were worth
more than they brought. Even in the
days when thsy eutnumbsred men IL

however, they can exact their own terms.
Instead OF msekly submitting to all
sorts Of Inconvenience and prIVation for
The sake of being married and having a

bands that drink, smoke or spend

Correspondence.
This morning the thermometer in
dicates twenty degrees above zero.
This is rather agreeable as we have
had SO long time of cold weather.
But perhaps it is best to have it cold
in the proper season so that we may
have warm weather when the right
time comes. Many people will be glad
to see thaw, as water has been scarce
in wells and cisterns.
Our Methodist hrcthren at the Sta
ton have held meetings since Christ
mas. They have done great amount
of good among the young people. and
many are almost persuaded to be
Christians.
We have had great improvement
in our drug store since Mr.. Pollock has
had charge of it. l heard the boys re-
joicing few days ago that they could
now have a dance without a row. 1

and this is the first drug store we have
had without a saloon connected with
it. A saloon is ruinous to place

SECRETARY SHERMAN has got the

of ono and half cents per pound,
making a difference of about SIS per
ton in favor of the foreign manufac-
tursrs of such iron. The home man
ufacturers claim this to be against their
interests, and that unless they are en-
abled to compel the consumers 10 pay
this extra SIS per ton, they may rs
well shut up shop.
Whatever may be the merits of the
controversy, it is pretty evident that
these mammoth manufacturing com.
panies are reaping their reward for
their active and untiring devotion to
Mr.. Sherman and his 'laboring mans
party" Their chickens are coming
home to roost.

Erlgh tful Disaster.

On Tuesday morning the massive
slate and iron roof Of the Union depot
at Buffalo was crushed by the weight
of snow upon it and fell with terri
BILE crash, burying all beneath in the
pondrous ruins. Two trains were
standing in the depot at the time and
the roof fell upon them, crushing the
cars and burying them in debris Many
passengers We're on the trains, it is
thought about one hundred, but it is
yet impossible to tell. The dead and
wounded are being takan out. Sew.
eral dead bodies have been taken from
the wreck. 1t is impossible yet to tell
the .extent of the loss. There was q
great accumulation of snow upon the
roof, and water from the melted snow
had damned up against the walls sew
eral feet deep.
A later dispatch says: 1t does not
appear that there were many people in
the cars that have been crushed. The
train was backed in waiting for pas.
sengers and not many had got aboard.
1t is not known yet, however, how
many there were. 1t seems now, how.
ever, that the killed and wounded
were mainly bystanders and people
about the depot. Four bodies have
been taken out.

BOycotiing Is taking the place of the
shiIlelab, and the shot from behind 8
hedge. as the most effective instrument
Of Irish resistance. 1t is a species of
sociai ostracism, enforced with pitiless
severity IN the minutest details,as well
as in the large concerns of life. The
presence of 8 Boycotted person is not
acknowledged by a word, look, =
gesture. Not only is there no inter-
course, but no business is directly or
Indirectly transacted with him. No.
body will buy his grain, his fruit, his
garden produce, his horses, cattle,
fowls. or anything he has to sell no
body will sell him pound of meat,
an ounce of -four, gill of whiskey,
or an hours work. No one will give
or lend him assistance in any way,
and no money will tempt a man to
approach his dwelling. Under such
circumstances, Boycotted person
mast stock his house as if he were
going Op an Arctic cruise, for other
wise, no matter how large his bank
account, he may starve in the midst OF
plenty. Even when supplies have been
procured from a distance, he would
lead the life OF a castaway on some
desert island, with the singing con-
selousness that, in his case, solitude
bore constant witness to the hate and
Ioathlng of every human being within
reach of eye or ear.
In word, Boycotting means much
the same sort of compulsory isolation
as that to which lepers were subjected
in ancient and midi9yal times. In.
deed, the Irish process ia, in some re.
spects, harsher one, since, even with
the Jews, the kinfolk ola Ieper were
allow ed to bring him food and cloth
ing, provided they laid the articles on
the ground at certain distance. 1t is
not at all impossible, on the other
hand. that under the stern application
Of the Irish proscriptive measure, some
landlords may be made to feel the
same pangs of hunger which their
tenants have SO frequently eXperienc-
ed. 1t is certain that threat of Boy
cotting is already regarded with Pc
culiar dismay. and that this impalpa-
BILE engine of coercion has already
proved more effective than overt acts
OF violence.

less he take the proper way to attain
that position. The time spent in
saloon is not proftably spent. If you
inquire of the lawyers in Ravenna if
they spend their evenings in a saloon
1 think you will get a negative an
swer. Go to the teachers in the high
school and make the same inquiry ,and
the answer will be similar. L do not
now think of a single district teacher
who makes a habit of spending his
evenings at a saloon. If Mr.. Pollock
stays here it will be worth hunnreds
of dollars to this place. When the
prohibition law was in force in Eng
land it was remarked that the people
were more industrious and more or
derly. The law might haye remained
much longer than it did, but the brew
ers petitioned to have it repealed. This
shows that beer, ale and whisky are
not necessary articles to the consumer

get along without it if he be where it

THE resolution ad ,pted by both
Houses of Congress in relation to the
electoral count, declares
That the President of the Senate Is
not invested by the Constitution of the
United States with the right to count
the votes of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States,
so as to determint what votes shall be
received and counted or what votes
shall be rejected.
And yet the Republicans declare that
the Democrats abandoned their posi-
ton upon this question. The Repub-
Iicans have claimed since 1876 that the
President of the Senate was invested
with the sole power to determine all
questions relating to the count, while
the Democrats have asserted that the
arbitrory and dangerous power was
not conferred upon that officer. And
now Congress- has sOlemnly and en-
phatically resolved that the Constitu-
ton has not clothed the President OF
the Senate with any such right. And
pray, who has backed down?

Protection that Destr oys.

There seems to be Protection poll
cy IN this country that builds up and
another that destroys. The Protection
on iron and steel, woolen and cotton
fabrics, has built up American indus
tries, and enabled our manufacturers to
possess themselves of the home mar
kets with the probability in few
years, if they can get wages low enough,
they will compete with other nations
in foreign markets. That sort of Pro-
lection seems to have been a success
it has achieved the end in view.
Far different have been the results
for the application of the extreme OF
the Protection principle to our ship
ping interests. We 20 beyond Pro-
tective tariff duties in the purchase OF
foreign ships and absolutely prohibit
such purchases. The result has been
the annihilation of American com.
merce. Our flag has disappeared from
the ocean-the American sailor be-
longs to the past. We pay to foreign
ship owners in freIghts on American
merchandise one hundred and twenty
millions dollars q year. Is not this
the Protection that kills?
The story of the decay of the Amer
lean merchant marine is told in these
| paper:
In 1860, the United States owned :,
379, 1856 tons of shipping engaged in the
foreign trade. The foreign commercs
of that year was S867, 1872 900.
In 1880 the American vessels en-:
gagged in the foreign trade aggregated
,si4, ,4O2 tons. Tho foreign commerce
for that year was 81 500, ,593 300.
During these twenty years the value
of our merchandise carried on the
ocean has increased 125 per centum
within the same period the tonnage OF
our merchant marine has declined As
per centum.
In 1860 the ratio of our ocean ton
mage to the value of our ocean trade
was one ton to $3.50 of merchandise.
In 1880 tho ratio was one ton to 81. l44
of merchandise showing the relative
decline in our tonnage, within the
twenty years, to have been about 10
per centum.
Mind you, all this has been accom-
plished under a prOhibitory tariff.
Third and fourth rate European ma
tions do far more of our ocean carrying
trade than we do ourselves.
Protection has built up iron, cotton,
and wooden industries. Prohibition
has broken up our ship yards and driv-
ell the American flag from the ocean.
Mr.. Blaine's remedy for all this is
subsidy; taking money out of one
pocket and putting it in another, with
the certainty that in it's transit the
lobby will collect heavy tolls.-[Pitts-

The Count.

The two Houses of Congress met
in joint convention yesterday, the 9th
inst, and counted the electoral votes
for President and Vice President. and
we suppose declared Garfield and Ar
thur legally elected i; but they did not
do it under the heretical doctrine so
persistently asserted by the Republic
can leaders, that the presiding officer
of the Senate had the sole right and
power under the constitution to deter
mine the validity of and count the
votes cast by the electoral colleges of
the several States. During the dis
cassion of tho Morgan joint resolution
on Wednesday of last week, Mr.. Conk-
ling declared that" tho whole history
of the Government is in contradiction
of the idea that the President of the
Senate could decide any of the ques.
tions as to the validity of the electoral
votes, or that he could decide any 9TH
or thing on which might hinge the
ascertainmsnt and declaration of the
Presidential VOTE"
Conkling, Allison, Blair, Booth.
Hoar, Jones, of Nevada, and Davis, OF
Illinois, voted with the Democrats for
the passage of the resolution. This is
a total surrender by the Republicans
Of he dangerous doctrine, that one man
has more power or can be more safely
trusted to pass upon the legality OF
the votes cast for President than the
entire Congress.
