woman's Labor Exchange.

To Me Edtt0f OF 1he ECtilth0 CTttlc:
The "Woman's Cooperative Store and Labor
Exchange" at 516 Eleventh street northwest,
has recently attracted much attention from
the noble and generous citizens who sympa-
thize with the poor women of the city. wish
to commend the Same to the consideration Of
the people, and believe 1t supplies a long
needed want. To this place our poor working
women who have any article TO sell of their
own work can carry the same and leave 1t for
sale. In this way labor and industry are
stimulated, while those who thus work are
sure 10 find a reasonably ready sale.
Then another great feature OF this associa.
tion is that 1t serves as an "otflce' where both
employe and employer can be accommodated.
have been told that within the last few months
90 women have found comfortable and de-
sirable homes, while q large number have been
furnished employment through this associa-
tion.
This is not an "almsgiving," but a real labor
institution. And II is to be hoped that Instead
OF seeking offices in the Departments (where
so few can succeed) that these women VIII
avail themselves of this association and find
something else.
Mrs. NJ. A. Butler, the president and man
ager OF the association, is most excellent
lady, with that refined and pleasing style
which eminently fits her for these duties.
Mrs. Butler has already incurred expenses
and made sacrifices quite commendable, and
she is sustained in this new field Of labor by
much Of the best influence Of the city.

It comes TO the surface OF the gossip pot
that has been boiling with a low stage OF
water In Its belly because the Tariff bill has
made all things commonplace from the very
dreariness OF the monotony that marks tariff
debates, that while President Grant was here
ten days ago n conference was held at tho
residence OF Don Cameron, at which
Logan and Window were present. The
subject OF the conference was the condition
ana prospects Of the Republican party, and 1t
was agreed that COnklings recent utterauce
that Arthur had destroyed the chances of party
unity by his indecision OF character and love
Of case, was dlsloyal utterance, and should be
taken as his formal declaration that Conkllng
would hereafter have nothing TO do with tho
Republican party. Even Grant sat silent when
Logan dared to say that "the attempt to can.
onize men who wero proven traitors was in
to alusi5ns" evidently being 10 the Fltz.John
Porter case, and tho part Grant took In It. 1t
was conceded that the Republican party was
IN n hopeless state Of dissolution, and although
plans were suggested TO revive It's orgRnila-
lion, involving the use of money, It was agreed
by all ihat the moneyed Interests OF the
country had become distrustful of the profess
sions Of virtuous purpose by the Republican
larty at each recurring election. In reply to
aquestlon Cameron admitted that Il was ez.
ceedinely. doubtful II he could secure
a Republican Legislature in his state, and
that 1t was almost certain Pennsylvania's
electoral vote would be given 70 the Demo-
cratic candidate FOR President in 1881.
'Do you mean TO say" said Grant, "that
PENNSYLVANIA Will vote for Democratic can
didate for President on tarir.for-revenue-
only pintformT
'Yes," replied Cameron. ~ mean that
Pennsylvania from this time on Is likely to be
n Democratic State, no matter what planks are
Put In the National platform on the tariff ques-
tioD."
Tho party broke up in gloomy frame Of
mind, rs well 1t might, for the Republican
organization lost half Its power when Morton
died, and the rest when Conklins committed
political suicide. There is no head to It now,
and the only man who has the genius for
order, is now being tried for a penitentiary
orense. allude TO Dorsey, who sat the hon
ored guest Of Grant, Cameron, Arthur and
others at dinner given at Delmonico's where
his virtues as q partisan were extolled, in as
tonishing language, by the present incum-
bent of the Presidential Office lHtsh. Cor.

Smoked out at Last.

The gentleman F." who is authority for
the statement published in the Republican
a day or two ago to the effect that two of
the defendants in the so-called Star-Route
trial had boasted that they had the jury
fixed turns out to be Mr. Ker, of coun-
sci for the Government. The following
statement appears in both the morning
papers and was doubtless prepared by Mr..
Ker and given out by him. (of course he
had to give 1t out, as the Republican would
have been compelled to publish his name
in self-defense) Here is the statement:
Mr.. Ker, OF Government counsel In the Star.
Route trial, is authority for tho statement
that the prosecution has received Information
that two OF the defendants In that case have
said that they had "lxed" two men on the
present jury. Mr.. Ker was inclined to believe
that the story had been given out In the hope
thatit would prevent Rerdell from taking the
stand for the Government.
Now, if the prosecution had received its
information" from q trustworthy and hon.
OraJle source Mr.. Ker would have indicated
il in the above statement. If the prosecu-
tion had any such ''informationp at all,
which is exceedingly doubtful, it came
from some one of its hired aud disreputable
pimps, who, in the dearth of news, manu-
factured this story in order to continue to
draw his infamous wages. 1t was a tale
told by knave, and could only be believed
by fools or those who had motive in being
deceived.
But what shall be thought of the crea-
ture whogives out the lies of hired liars
and paid pimps as information" that is,
as fact, the public should know? No
gentleman would have done it, no fair
minded man would have done It, Only q
malignant mean, low-minded cur would
do it, or man made mean by avarice and
who thought such lying stuff would put
money in his pocket by prolonging his per
diem employment.
