How Men Swear.
boston Pest,l

A bar tender always takes the opposite view
of everything. The other day Mr.. Gallagher
was in Court street saloon and tipped his
chair too far back and went over and jammed
his head into cuspidor and was considerably
hurt The incident annoyed him, and when
he got up he swore literally, and the bar ten
der told him he hadn't ought to- Gallagher
said that under the influence of sudden pain
five men out Of every six would swear. The
bar tender didn't believe it, and the result was
bet. Gallagher got an ordinary brick and
heated it fearfully hot and placed it on the
marble bar. Now brick doesn't show heat,
and therefore it was not surprising that when
Mr.. Cuff came in and saw the brick on the bar
he should pick it up. He, however, showed
no disposition to put it in his pocket or do any
thing else with it. He Immediately laid il
down and made frantic gestures and said a
number of wicked things. Then in came
butcher, who also picked up the brick and put
it down. He looked around savagely and al
ter freeing his mind of some unholy sentiments
said he hoped he shouldn't see anybody laugh,
as he preferred not to be under the necessity
OF doing murder. The next victim was q Chi
naman, and he spoke every word of English
would have been considered improper in
Sunday school. He Joined Mr.. Cuff and the
butcher in sucking his fingers and watching
for the next chap. He came in the form of a
prominent politician, and as he placed the
brick upon the bar his language sounded like
after-election talk. The bartender began TO
be nervous, but the next man merely pranced
about and wildly waved his hands without say
ing word 1t appeared that he was a dumb
man. so the next man would decide the bet.
he came. he was young man from the lum-
Der districts OF Maine and didn't look like
talkative chap. But when he got hold OF the
brick his jaw seemed to become loose, and the
way he blasphemed even shocked parrot,
and the butcher said he would give S75 if he
could talk like that. Gallagher had won. He
rose up and explained the affair. The six,
headed by the young man from Maine, started
for him as one man. They pulled him all over
the place. They brushed the ceiling with him,
used him for football, threw him down Gel
lar, brought him up again, tore his clothes off
and made him drink wator. They said they
wanted to see IL it would make him swear. 1t

Women Suffrage and Political
Parties.

oil Gl0S.
A correspondent, whose word is to be
found on the local page of the PRESS, is in
clined to cavil at some remarks made in
these columns Tuesday on Quakers and
equal suffrage. One point, at least, in the
communication is well taken. In accord
ing to the Friends the laudable distinction of
being the only religious denomination that
gives women an equal share in church gov
ernment we forgot the Shaker communities.
To all that our critic says of them we heart
tily subscribe, and we repeat and empha-
size as our own the just and timely praise of
John Vance-who has few equals as a relig-
ious teacher and no superior as an exem-
plar of practical Christian morality. Yet it
must be considered that the Shakers take
no part in politics, leaving that business to
others. The movement for women suffrage
is by its nature political. If women follow
the example of the Shakers they will cease
to seek the suffrage and preserve the quiet
ism in politics to which they have so long
been accustomed. On the other hand the
Quakers vote, and so make Felt in politics
the weight to which their love of country,
desire to secure justice, and promotion of
good citizenship fully entitle them.
To our general statement that church or
ganizations are opposed to the granting of
the suffrage to women our correspondent
makes but one exception-that mentioned
above. There is, we believe, no other ex-
eeption that can be made. That is the
lesson distinctly taught in the remarkable
book ''The History of Woman Suffrage"
just put into print and edited by those pio-
neers Of civil equality, Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton. Susan B. Anthon y, and Matilda Joslyn
Gage-a work that is or ought to be in the
hands of every synlpathizer with the move
ment. From this book we learn that while
many church members plead for equal suf-
frage, church societies oppose it. 1t was a
long time before woman was permitted even
to lift her voice in prayer and exhortation
before the altar.
One more word to the correspondent, the
courtesy of whose brief communication NAV
perhaps serve as a rebuke to our long reply
and that is concerning the Greenbackers.
We have as full regard for the right of in
dividual opinion as she has, and stoutly ad-
here to the great Protestant dogma Of pri-
vate judgment. But, we repeat, the ques-
ton of woman suffrage is essentially politi-
cal. If the friends of equal suffrage ally
themselves with any political party, they
will be required to give an equivalent for the
aid rendered. If the organization to which
they attach themselves favors the placing
the ballot in the hands of women, the wo-r
men who wish to grasp that weapon must
in retarn advocate the other political mea-
sures of the society in which they have tax
en- membership. That is law of politics,
practical" or Sentimental" So it be-
hooves them to carefully consider and con-
scientiously decide upon the other great
questions of public polity before they ally
themselves with any existing political or
ganization. a- --- FEY zi-5z-1c-4

STATISTICS of pauperism in England for
the year which closed in January last fur
nish striking example of the poverty which
exists at the side Of colossal fortu mes and
material and social progress. The num-
Der of paupers on the 1st of January was
SO9,51S, of whom 195, ,2S6 were indoors pau
pers, and 614,2 outdoor, with exactly and
only III of the total number classed as 'sre-
lieved." Reckoning the total population at
22,7OO,OOO, which are the figures given in
the census of 1871, the proportion stands
one paaper to every twenty-eight persons.
Some improvement, however, was made
over the previous year-a reduction of pau
pers numbering 34,513, who were confined
wholly to the outdoor class.

THERE are at present in the Old World
and in the New World more than 100000
railway locomotives. Their total force is
equal to 100000 horse power, and all the
other steam engines on the globe are esti-
mated at Dc, ,0O0,0 900 horse power. The tech
nical "horse power" however, is really
equal to three average horses, and each
horse to about seven men; the aggregate
power, therefore, of all the engines being
vastly more than the effective force of all
the human workers living. Four-ffrhs
of the steam engines now at work have been
made within quarter OF century or 50.

PHILADELPHIA Bulletin: The Irish Arch
bishop Croke may be all wrong in some par
ticulars of his conduct, but he told the truth
exactly when he said that the agitation was
"not due to Davitt, nor to Parnell, nor to
their followers, but to the fact that there
was mighty grievance, and the Irish peo-
pie at last contemplated it manfully, and
were determined to remove it." No nation
is ever stirred as the Irish nation has been
and is, without the existence of deep-seat-
ed cause. And it is because the grievance
in this case is real that nothing but radical
measures will suffice to remove it and to
satisfy the people.

THE Boston Commercial Bulletin says
Sew of the thousands of people who travel
daily on the cars have any idea what an or
dinary passenger car costs, and the widest
guesses are often heard. The average price
of passenger car is about 81, 500. Pullman
cars average from $1,000 to 10000; loco
motive spoils 81, 600 or s12, 900, while an Or
dinary freight or box car costs about 1925.
