Scattering Flowers While Living.

The crowded space of OUR HERALD last issue, prevented notice of the celebration of the birthday of Susan B. Anthony, at the charming home of Dr. and Mrs. Gary, in Indianapolis, February 15. Mrs. Flor ence M. Atkinson, who presented an ad- mirable sketch of the life of Miss Anthony, prepared the following report of the meet ing for the Sentinel, which we reproduce in full:
 that noble pioneer worker for womanhood the Indianapolis Equal Suffrage Society held social reunion on her sixty birthday, February 15. at the residence of one of the members, pr. H. c. Carey. Mrs. z. G. Wallace, President of the Society, presided over the meeting with rare grace and dignity. Impromptu speeches were made by Helen M. Cougar, of Lafayette, who related many interesting incidents of her meeting with Miss An thony at the recent Washington and New York Conventions; speeches were made by Chas. Walker, editor of the Times, who pledged adherence to the suffrage cause, called attention to the prominence the question is assumingin the country papers, and referred to the recent testimony of the Governor of Wyoming to the satisfactory working of woman suffrage there; by ex- Governor Baker, who thought that women ought to vote and that they would ultim- ately; by B. B. Martindale, who answered several objections and expressed his belief that the ballot in the hands of women would elevate politics by Colonel Dooley of the Herald, who said he had always been in favor of woman suffrage, and by MT. Tarbell, Superintendent of the City Schools, who briefly stated his belief in the justice of woman's claim for the ballot.
 Mrs. May Wright Sewan gave a number of personal "reminiscences of Miss Anthony and paid touching, tender tribute to her womanly worth.
 The speech-making was enlivened with music and the following telegram was dis patched to Miss Anthony.
 'The Equal Suffrage Society of Indian apolis, and friends of it's work, send grate- full greetings to you upon the celebration of your birthday. May you have many happy returns thereof, to work with your steadfast and ever increasing devotion to every good cause"

Rosenbluth and the Wage System

Last week we published reply from manufacturers, to an article appearing ln the previous number of the EXAMINER rejecting on the character of that estab- lishment as to the compensation there paid for labor.
 In thls reply MT. Rosenbluth evidently con- firms all that was asserted in the article, but intimates that the woman's apron and scis- sors were stolen by some of the employees.
 This affair, local as it is, is not calculated to interest the general reader, yet serves as a sample of the many thousands of similar cases transpiring throughout the country to-day as the logical result of our barbar- ous slave making system of industrial competition, which makes possible, aye inevitable, the greater portion of all the ignorance, misery, and squaid wretched- ness that haunts us on every side. Whether MT. Rosenbluth is 8 heartless task-master or not he is obliged in man. ner to conform to the present system of doing business, or go to the wall. 1ndi- vidually he cannot change it If he would, and therefore is obliged to take advantage of the system by which he finds himself surrounded. That he desires c change is another phase of the subject. This very system is the result of selfshness not properly controlled or directed, inaugural ed by men of the same character which we believe the man in question to be. We see that he is unwilling to allow sufficient wages for a child to live on, to an adult because she is not " skilled ;" yet he can afford to pay for advertisements of " Help wanted" day after day in the newspapers i; and as to his reply, 8 contemptuous. cold blooded heartlessness pervades every sentence.
 In order to show how much may be re- lied on his statements from the s0ordirag of the epistle, we throw out just one straw to show which way the wind blows.
 It commences with: Having placed the columns of your vatua6le paper at our disposal" etc., etc. Yet although a sub- scriber, and having had several issues, on presentation of the bill of subscription he refused to pay it, or for the copies already received. Certainly, MT. Rosenbluth no one should intimate or charge that you was guilty of running |" charitable institu- tion."

Land League Notes.

MT. John W. Coogan, of Windsor Locks delivered very beautiful and fowery ad- dress before the St. Peters Ladies League in the basement of St. Peters church last Wednesday evening. His tribute to the patriotic devotion and heroic efforts of the noble hearted Davitt was fervent and touching, and the sacrifices of the patriot priest Fr. Sheehy together with his ard uous labors in the cause of oppressed Ire land were not forgotten. The young gen. tleman's effort, though not entering into the depths of the question, was neverthe- less very interesting and entertaining to all present and was frequently appIauded.
 We regretted to learn of his association with such body as the Connecticut legis- lature.
 John Boyle O'Reilly's truly magnificent poem ''Innisfallen" was most effec- lively rendered by the Sec'y, Miss M. F. Reardon, and listened to with almost was then voted to be sent to the centlal treasurer, Rev. Lawrence Walsh of Water bury, making $500 in all since organiza- tion. Much of the success of this branch is undoubtedly due to the jealous and persistent efforts of it's indefatigable presi- dent Miss A. B. Hodge, whose labors are warmly appreciated by her sisters in the good work.
 The Parnell branch met on Thursday evening. And after transacting routine business was addressed by MT. James Murphy of this city, 8 brother of the cele- brated temperance orator Francis Murphy. The address was a magnificent produc- tion and took his listeners by surprise. He was warmly applauded; after which MT. John Roper made one of his characteristic speeches more true than complimentary of the men engaged and that ought to be engaged in the work of furthering the in- terests of the great movement now claim ing the attention of the civilized and un- civilized world. His telling hits and scathing denunciation of the political wirepullers and their slavish tools were received with evident satisfaction, showing evidence of the unmistakeable change going OA HI Iu0 Iu1uUS ana u0hEtS OA uuO PCOpl0s

Answered.


 The Sunday Times ''Man-about-Town " says:
 I was yesterday asked by an inquisitive friend who has recently been giving his whole mind to the Woman's Rights ques- tion ''Supposing these rights are grant ed and women find that their mission is to compete with men in all the business pursuits of the day, who will be our wives, who our mothers and who will attend to our household? What will become of the institution of marriage, of the bearing of legitimate children, of our happy homes the pleasantest thing in our civilization. Fer certainly one couldn't love one of these women of the future, you know-the female stock jobber, politician, mechanic. She would be too busy to make home for you, the incentive of marriage would be gone and then-what? I respectfully referred my friend to Miss Susan B. An thony."
 As Susan B. Anthony is not at hand her protege will answer the ''inquisitive friend"
 The act of voting would not make wome1 compete for living more than now, but those women who are compelled to do SC would probably make as good wives and mothers when competing for fat office, with the ballot in their hands, as they dc now competing with John Chinaman for g days washing or with the unsexed male tape measurer for an opportunity to stand behind 8 counter. Voting has not unftteo men for becoming fathers, and we fail tc see how it would have a worse effect upon women. The home business can be i'm proved on by men. but one can fail to see how casting ballot affects his home or business duties. The more successful g female ''stock iobber, politician or me- chanic'' would be, the more men she would find willing to love and honor her and eat of her bounty. It would take no more time to cast a ballot than to buy spoo of thread, or to put drunken husband tc bed. It is the old cry, elf you let womer learn anything they will desert their babies for quadratic equations"

The Plougholder vs. the Bondholdel

The Pl0ugh0lder vS. the B0ndn0l0er. AN EARNEST APPEAL FROM A CONNECTICUT
 FARMER TO HIS BRETHREN.
 EDITOR EXAMINER It is now two years or better since began the study of the financial situation of our country, and l will guarantee that any farmer of good common sense, who will give it the same attention, cannot help becoming convert to the doctrines of the third party. We pay the most taxes of any class doing bus mess, and have the least representation in making the laws we live under. I desire to appeal to the farmers of Connecticut to read and carefully study up the financial question, and I am sure their good sense will prevent them from much longer being the slave of bond lord aristocracy. It is impossible for our products to bring good prices when these bloodsuckers with their manifold devices are constantly eat ing up our resources, but as we have not studied up the question in all it's bearings, we are blind to tue manner in which it IS done.
 Do we not want to leave our children somethi g besides bonded debt and a mortgaged farm, and can it be anything else if we are satisfied to drag along from year to year under the heavy burdens inn posed on us by our tax-creating, plunder- ing lawmakers.
 If you desire to avoid this alternative, my brethren, you must look elsewhere for your political education than the pages of those journals in the interest of the old parties.
 Subscribe for some of our reform papers, give them 8 fair and unbiased trial, and pledge you that you will not stop until you have mastered the subject for yourselves. No country can prosper earth.
 The money power is driving us to ruin. I, who have suffered the ups and downs Ci farmers life for the last thirty years, feel somewhat the recognition we deserve at the hands of our fellow citizens. But what recognition have the money lords mapped out for us? Peasants This if what their organ, the New York Times recommended a few years ago. Whicf of us wants to see the day when that odi ous appellation shall attach to us or oul children. But that is their object. Let ul stop them now right on the threshold Let us assist the new party that is organ ized to save us from the machinations of tht monopoly monsters.

We are the victims of al great set of robbers as ever plundereC and disgraced nation and we should bt ashamed of our stupidity in allowing il to proceed so for. Nothing will save us but revolution; the quicker the better but if we are only true to ourselves ii will be a bloodless one. The enemy are few, we are many.

The President and Cabinet.

"How they were dressed on Monday. The President, as is his custom, was fault lessly dressed in black, wearing black silk scarf and black silk gloves. The mem- bers of the cabinet have different ideas regarding dress. MT. Frelinghuysen fol- clothes and black gloves. MT. Folger wore fawn colored gloves and business suit. Mir. Lincoln wore one black glove and gray trousers. MT. Hunt wore black and gray undressed kid gloves. MT. Kirkwood wore black and large, ill fitting fur lined brown gloves, with red stitching on the back. MT. Brewster wore very new and very fashionable clothes, 8 white flower in his buttonhole and carried an opera hat iauntily against his side, with pair of light brown kids crushed in it's rim.''
