The abuse of wives by brutal husbands in
| the present time can but attract general atten-
tion and sympathy. Much of this is due,
doubtless to the inebriety of husbands. Wife
murders and wife beating are becoming the
common staple of daily telegraphic dispatches.
Where is the remedy for this great and grow
ing evil? It must be found in the remodeliug
of oar laws and giving greater protection to
the person and property-rights of wives.
Wife beaters should have visited upon them
eondigu punishment, swift, severe and GER
tain. What more terrible than for pbysic-
ally weak and helpless wife to be subjected to
the brutal blows Of a rough, brawny
husband, Infatuated by drunkenness.
If the whipping post, as an instrument
it would be in the case of the wife
beaten. If the whipping post has in it an
element of barbarism, it would seem to be
entirely suitable and proper to subjsct the
barbarious wife-beater to it's sting ing scourge.
The savage brute that beats and mauls
woman whom he has sworn to protect and
cherish, is fully worthy of the severest appli-
cation of physical punishment. By the gen.
eral run of laws, marriage is humiliation to
the woman. Not only her name, but her ae.
tual legal. civil existence is merged in that of
the man. She has no adequate, separate
property-rights, or protection of person Sc
cured to her. This is simply relic of abor-
iglnal barbarism, where woman is an absolute
slave, the sport and football of brutal hus
bands. The phrase, "Woman's Rights" has
in it principle of stern justice that ought to
be recognized and admitted. We do not bro.
pose here to go into the discussion of suf.
frage, but do claim that "Woman's Rights
so-called, haying in the term an elementary
principle of natural justice and right, deserves
no sneering, contemptuous jeer or ridicule.
The state of New York by its judges and
courts, is taking grand and CRAFTY

granting protection to wives; ground worthy
of adoption by other enlightened humane states
Recently in the supreme court in the CITY of

United states government, original papers OF
DR.. Benjamin Franklin, the product of revo-
lutiouary times. DR.. Franklin, it is well
known, was our representative in France and
the documents referred to consist of the
original letter-books of the American legation
in Paris, during the revolutionary war, and
subsequently; in all, from 1776 to 17s5. These
include correspondence with France, Holland,
Russia, Spain; negotiations for subsidies to
carry on the war; letters relating to Paul
Jones and his captures; to Captain Cook and
his voyage of discovery; to privateering, to
negotiations for peace to tie treaty; records
and correspondence of the commissioners on
the part of Great Britain who negotiated the
treaty of 17s3. If the government does not
purchase the collection, it will become the
property of gentlemen either in Boston or
Philadelphia who have offered Mr.. Stevens

THE mosquito is a very lively institution,
and for its size very effective. The London
Field has the following curious disquisltion
on the power of the smallest insect over the
largest animal in the world: Thick as is an
elephants skin, no living creature suffers
more from flies, mosquitoes, leeches, and
other vermin than he. The pores are very
large, and gadfies and mosquitoes, ETC., worm
themselves into the hollow and suck to reple-
ton. Thus the whole day long they are COZ
stantly throwing up dirt, squirting saliva or
water, to get rid Of these pests, to the great
annoyance of their riders. They snore good
deal when asleep, and I have often seen them
resting their heads on an outstretched foot
when lying down. They are very human

DR.. JOHNSON, in his "Life of Dryden"
says that the excellence of an English trans

such dress of diction as the author would
have given them had his language been Eng

ETY. worthy Of the great dictator of letters.

shop for few months and pick up &

chanics or machinists are curse not
only tothcir employers, but themselves.
They know nothing, can do nothing

about their lot, and spreading dis
content. They are a nuisance that
should be abatcd. But it is not all their
fault. Employers in their haste to get
rich employ cheap labor in preference
to skilled, hire ignorant and thought
less boys to run milling machines and
to do cheap filing, instead of trained
mechanics whose work will ALWAYS be
above reprOach. Machinery can now
be made to do most anything, and BOYS
find that they get just as much money
by engaging in machine work at once
as If they had first learned trade.
This is all wrong, and strikes death
blow at the very root of mechanical
progress. Every employer should pro-
cure u certain number of BOYS, put
them in the shop and see to itthat they
have the necessary instruction and en-
couragemcnt Give them after Il while
some unimportant job and ask them to
contrive some method of doingit. Then
leave them to their own devices for Il
time, and if they make mistakes Ito not
blame them for laundering, but point
out their errors and show how they
may be remcdied. A boy will thus be
taught to think for himself and will
feel the responsibility of the work and
make an earnest effort to do it, being

Who Own the National Tanks.

The Saturday Express
Under this caption the Chicago Tri-
bunc says:
Those who are in the habit of de-
nouncing the national bank system as
a monopoly in the hands of ofcapitalsts
would do well to glance over the fol-
lowing paragraph, in which CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune fur
nishes an analysis of the ownership of
some of the leading banks of that city.
The analysis referred to shows that
about one-third of the bank shares of
the banks mentioned are held by wo-
men, and concludes by saying:
And generally you will find that the
Oldest banks have the most women
stockholders. They are the "bloated
bondholders" whom the demagogues
in and out of congress denounce as
monopolists who are robbing the peo-
pie.
This is not the first instance of sin
and cowardice entrenching themselves
behind petticoats. Adam and jeff
Davis have become the patron saints
of American bankers, and the female
lobby system so successful in securing
corrupt legislation has been adopted
by Shylock to ward of the arrows of
public indignation.
9 The following from The Irish World
shows the class of ladies who do and
who do not own bank stock:
Eight New York city ladies, whose
husbands are worth $500, 900, 900, re-
Gently dined together at Saratoga
hotel. On the same day 100000 New
York ladies whose husbands earned
these $500, 100000 and were robbed of
it,, dined separately and in miserable
tenement houses.
Bankers have a double purpose in
their wives and daughters
as custodians of their stock shares.
First they are safe from creditors in
case of financial disaster, and secondly
1t has the effect of disarming the anti |
monopolists and anti-bank "dema-
gogues" who cry "bloated bondholders

aware that Adams sin was any the
less wicked because his wife tempted
him, and oven il every bank share was
owned by women the devil would still |

Where Does Y Como From9

London Nature.
"Whence comes the a of mathema.
ticiansp" is question on which NJ. dc
Lagardc supplies some curious infor.
nation Gna note to the Gottingen
Royal Society of Sciences). The old
italian algebraists named the unknown
quantity in an equation, coSd, or res
(Which they eitherwrote out or denoted
by sign). These are translations of
the Arabic sal, thing, by which the
Arabians in Spain indicated the un-
known quantity-writing the Arabic
equivalent of s; thus our IA would be
S.l2. Now it has been the rule in Spain
to express the Arabic by the Latin q.
Thus our mathematical % seems to
have come from the Arabic for thing.
Going further back, to the Greeks, it
appears that Diophantus called the
unknown quantity arithmoS; and for
this, a final sigma, accented, came to
be written. 1t is thought the Arabians
may have denoted this by their $, and
called it by the name for thing. The
Greek name for the square of the un-
known quantity was dunamiS, and for
the cube BIboS; and the corresponding
Arabian terms are clearly derived from
these by translation; hence q probability
of derivation in the other case (though
not by translation).

Now Ofk justice.
We are fast becoming n nation of mil
Iionaires and tramps, and this is being
accomplished through system of legiS
latiOn in the interest of the few. 1t has
been supposed in this country that all
men were born with equal rights, moi
necessarily with equal brains, or health,
or luck. One man may inherit capital
which gives him an advantage; another
may inherit health, strength and ener.
gy, which gives him an advantage.
Some men in boring for oil will strike
y dry hole, while others will strike
flowing wells. But all men in the
United States are born with equal civil
rights-are entitled to an equal chance
to earn an honest living; and when
bold, INSCRIPTIONS, corrupt men
seek TO change these conditions, and
have system of laws enacted which
restrict the opportunities of the average
citizen, and tend to make us Il nation
of the few rich and the many poor, it
is time to call Il halt, and that time has
now arrived in the history of this coun-
try. Oliver Cromwell, fresh from his
great victory at Dunbar, wrote TO the
British Parliament:
"Make wise laws; relieve the op-
pressed; hear the groans of poor
prisoners. BE pleased TO reform the
abuses in the law and all professions;
and if there be any that tend to make
many poor and to make few rich
that suits not commonwealth" "
All! there spake true ''friend of the
people and genuine Anti-Monopo-
list.

Without Gods wondrous powers.

Where chance alone had sway!
Could ought but power divine
Divide the night from day!

Platforms to Order.

| Culcago sentlne.
In order TO save our democratic an
republican friends the trouble an,
annoyance of drafting platforms W
propose the following:
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Resolved, That the republican part
is in power and proposes to stay there
or die in the last ditch
Resolved, That the republican part,
is in favor of free ballot and a fai
count-eXcept in republican localities.
Resolved, That the republican part,
freed 100000 black slaves, therefor,
it has the right to enslave 4O,OOO,OOO O
white slaves.
Resolved, That the republican party
created the greenback, therefore it i,
nothing but rag money" and ought
to he destroyed.
Resolved, That the republican party
is in favor of tariff down east and free
trade out west.
Resolved, That the republican party
is opposed to stealing-but if there is
any stealing tobe done the republican
party wants the job.
Besolved, That the republican party
has created all the monOpolics in the
country-stlll it is opposed to monop-
oily.
Resolved, That after having given
away nearly all the public land there is
in the country, the republican party is
opposed to any further grants Of lands.
Resolved, That the democratic party
ought to live in order that the republican
party may have something to kick.
And for the democratic party we
would suggest the following:
Resolved, That we are democrats be-
cause our grandfatherswere democrats.
Resolved, That we are democrats be-
cause we are not republicans.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
high tariff down east and free trade out
west.
Resolved, That we are soft-moncy
men in grecnback sections and hard
money men when among the Shylocks.
Resolved, That we can change our
politics to suit allmcn and all occasions
IN the shortest possible notice.
Resolved, That although we have
,ecn kicked and mauled by the repub-
leans for the last twenty years, we are
Ible to heel the mark and stand the
reatment just as long as our breeches
lold out.
Resolved, That we are out of Office
nd are bound TO get in.
Resolved, That we condemn the steals |
# the republicans-because if there is
ny stealing TO be done we want to do |
ourselves.
Resolved, That we are democrats be-
ause we are not republicans.
