The Women of This country

are wronged by those who should bo their pro-
tectors. In this age of labor and progress all
they ask is simple justice, equal rights and
fair wage for work for which they are pc.
culiarly adapted, and in which they are mons
superiors, man himself being the Judge and
profit being the standard. 1t is din1cult II not
impossible, to fix a fair standard of wages In
all employments either for men or women. As
10 ordinary day laborers, domestic servants,
farm hands, and those employed In business
OF transportation and merchandise, wages are
established partly under the law of supply
and demand, but mostly by tho standard
fixed In other pursuits where the
rate might eS poo,a nAGd Snt Win refer
the greed OF corporations and protected In
kterests. Where capital, profit and wages paid
ARE known common humanity suggests that
labor, as we'll as capital, should share In tho
profits. Particularly is this true where the
business is protected by tho Government as a
matter OF public policy II is strange that
men with mothers. sisters and daughters Will
30 degrade themselves as to leglslato hundreds
OF millions OF dollars annually into tho pockets
OF few thousand favored capitalists, and take
not one thought as to tho women who create
lowest wages which will support life. Pre-
suming that legislators are not
as soulless as the corporations and
protected interests which they create,
and are only ignorant of the facts, submit a
table taken from tho last census report show
ing that In those manufacturing pursuits In
which women are most engaged they receive
tho least wage and produce the largest
profits. Tho law TO protect manufacturers
should include some protection at least to
women, who have no votes. II Ia mother noble,
manly or human to protect capital from 20 10

witness Fines at Police Court.

During n lull In the proceedings at Police
Court this morning Prosecuting Attorney
Moore called the Courts attention to the fact
that he experienced great difficulty in dealing
with his witnesses In his office. He found that
in innumerable instances agents Of defend
ants who were under arrest tampered with
witnesses for the prosecution in various ways.
Members Of the Bar and others were engaged
in this practice, and exhibited as much inge-
nuity rs knavery in their schemes.
When wives appeared against their hus.
bands these 'witness fixers" demonstrated to
them how unwise 1t was TO put their husbands
in Jail. Whom women appeared against their
protectors similar arguments were used, and
when children appeared against their parents
or employers against their servants, these
"lxers" played upon their love or pity to in-
duce them not to prosecute. Other efforts of
this kind were moro corrupt, threats and IN
ducements being mado and offered.
Mr.. Moore said that he was resolved to
prosecute every case of this kind that he
could present, and would ask the cooperation
OF tho Court In breaking up this evil.

AN OUTSIDE SUGGESTION.

w. F. Dowdall, editor of the Peoria
National Democrat. is a frequent visitor in
this section, and well acquainted with our
citizens, yesterday, in regard to the next
democratic candidate from this district,
they published the following:
The National Democrat would modestly
suggest to the democrats of the eleventh
congressional district the name of B. D.
Buford as most available candidate TO
lead them a victory. Buford is a young
man, full of industry, energy, ability and
pure democracy. He employs aoout a
1 900 men in his pillow works, and s99 OF
them would vote for him, and the other
fellow would not vote against him.
There are numbers of democrats in this
district who think as does the National
Democrat, and there is no doubt that the
only thing that could stand in the way Of
Mr. Buford's nomination and election
would be his acceptance of the honor
