1T IS highly Creditable to the
striking telegraph operators that
they have the avowed and sincere
sympathy of the large majority of
the newspapers of the country. The
journals are almost universally
opposed to violence and lawlessness
Of any kind, yet their enmity
towards the ways and methods of
the gigantic monopoly causes
them to urge the strikers to
persist in the struggle and force the
company to yield. The Western
Union has been so heartless and
grasping in its dealings with the
press as to ALLEVIATE the friendship
Of the newspapers, and any move
ment that will compel it to
disgorge some of its ill-gotten
gains will receive encourage
ment. The strikers seem TO be
holding their own, notwithst anding
the contrary reports furnished by
the company for publication. They
will doubtless force some sort of
yielding to their demands, for the
company cannot afford to run along
IN the sIip-shod unsatisfactory way
that it is going now. 1t is to be re.
GREETED that the operators cannot
be permanently reasonable in what
ever reasonable gain they may
MAXI. The Western Union, as
soon as it can afterwards. will re-
tract all that it may yield now. so
that success for the strikers will be
only temporary, to be followed per-
haps by humiliating subsection as
soon as the company Can get the
men firmly within its power.

It may be remarked of the smallest

It is said that the postofficc author;-
ties in Washington are preparing the
people for an exp ectea deficit after the
two cent letter rate goes into effect. It
is given out that not more than one post
office in four will more than pay ex-
penses under the new law, while under
the present law, every postoflice con-
tributes at least two-t(t of its receipts
to the cost Of carrying the mails. The
postal service need not cause any un-
easiness however. A deficit may occur
the first year or two, but letter writing
will be greatly stimulated by the two

tanning. But suppose it is not entirely
self-sustaining the old rate must not be
restored and will not. The rate is more
likely to be reduced to one cent as in
England and for this the people must
strive. Politicians and jobbers about
Washington want an overAowine treas
ury all the time. They do not strive
under an economical administration.
and hence they are always opposed to
reductions of taxes.

Miss Kate Kane, the Milwaukee law

She is the subject of editorials every

ITO the dismayed advocates of the gen.
eral rights of women, encouragement
may be given by reminding them that
there are several women now prac,icinp

tunate that Miss Kane should have let
her feminine traits of character get the
better Of her professional craitiness.
Ribald and profane persons will quote
her as an example of what may happen
when women are generally admitted to
practice in the professions now chiefly
monopolized by men, They will pic
ture the disorder that noisy
and scolding women will bring into
courts, exchanges, halls of LEGISLATION

carpes and critics may be commended
the well-known anecdote of Mr.. Henry

Whenever the workmen of the coun.
try demand better remuneration for
their labor the aristocratic organs seek
to alarm the country by extravagant
statements of the progress of Socialism
or communism, and many good people
whose sympathies are with the laborers
OF the country are led to take the side of
the monop0lists. The Germans have
had to bear most Of the odium attached
to communism but the New York Times,
in al article upon the condition of
Socialists in America, says that it is an
indisputable fac: that prosperity is con-
tinually depicting their ranks, and
that from the most fanatic German emf

the milder American citizen. Of revo-

A Berlin correspondent, describing

1t Is German custom to announce these
four events in the life ola man in q

American custom. Engagements are an.
nounced to an Interested world either
by parents of the blushing bride or the
happy groom himself. Here is an ex-
ample Of the former:
''The engagement of their daughter
Jane with Carl Schultze, at Berlin, is
hereby announced with great pride by
Ludwig Muller and wife,"
Sometimes this announceme mt Of the
parents is followed by one from the ex-

edges the corn about as follows:

Washington is enjoying a period OF
unequalled prosperity, and seems des-
tined to be one of the beautiful cities Of
the world. At no previous time has
there been 80 much building. The
structures. which are largely private res.
licences, indicate the solid character of
the population. Many of them are ex-
pensive. Business structures, although
they have increased and are increasing
do not by any means keep pace with
those of homes for the growing popula-
ton. 1t will never be commercial or
manufacturing city; but devoted to poll
tics, art and literature, it will always be
an attractive place of residence for peo-
pie Of wealth and culture, as we'll as for
