The Labor Question.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-The United States Sen
ate subcommittee on labor and education con-
tinued its session today. Mrs. L. T. Twitchell,
of Brooklyn, testified that she was formerly
president of tho Working Woman's association
in San Francisco and also of the Female Shoe
makers association. She has been a member
of various other trade organizations. She said
there were many women who had been brought
up in comfort who are unable now
to make enough to support themselves.
There were at least 5000 women in
New York and Brooklyn who
would be glad to obtain work at any price. This
had been the case ever since emigration had
grown to its present proportions, and it would
continue as long as emigration was unrestricted.
Trades unions were also the means Of prevent
ing many women from obtaining work, as it
was the policy of the union to restrict number
of its members from labor in this city which
was controlled by trades unions, and it was the
object of the leaders of the unions to create
corner in labor until they could get
place for themselves, and then
desert their fellows. The government, she
thought, should assist the unemployed classes to
20 where they could obtain employment. This
surplus only existed in large crowded centers of
population in the east. .fand witness thought If
they were asslsted to go west, the pressure
would be relieved. Witness advocated the ca.
tablishment of schools of domestic economy for
poor people and the taking Of steps to elevate
the condition of the class of lazy and irdolent
paupers that infest large cities.

Slang.

Oflate years, especially since the
abolition of what were called the taxes
on knowlege, viz, the excise duty on
paper and the newspaper stamp, and
the consequent establishment Of the
penny press, many new words have
been introduced by the rapid and care
less, and also by the semi-educated
penmen who cater for the daily and
weekly press. A number of old Eng.
fish words--current in the United
States--have been reintroduced into
English with the gloss Of apparent
novelty, but also with the unmistak-
able stamp of vulgarity broadly i'm,
pressed upon them. And not alone in
the press, but in society. Men of edu-
cation, some of them moving in high or
the highest circles, have condescended
to repeat in their daily or customary
conversation the language of coster'
mongers and of groomS and jockeys,
and to use it as if it were good Eng
fish. The basest slang of the street
is Of but too frequent use among educa
ted people, who ought to know better
than to use it, and has invaded the TO
rum and the Senate-if it has moi
yet penetrated into the pulpit. "Bloke
"Dufer," and "cad" are words familiar
to arristocratic lips. "Who is tina
awful fine flly?" says Fitz Noodle to hi
companion at an evening party; she's
dreadfully nicely groOmed" Asst th'
fine girl had just been trotted out o
the stable, after careful currycOmb
ing or rubbing down. Even ladies
but fortunately not gentlewomen-hav'
caught the contagion Of vulgarity iron
their husbands, lovers, or brothers, ant
defled their fair lips with what is calleo
fast language, and with words which
if they only knew their meaning an,
origin, they might blush to pronounc
If blushing were still in fashion. =

not do this he will fail in everything.
1t is the duty of every land owner in
this state to instiIl into his children the
necessity of looking alone to his land
for a living. 1t is the most reliable;
panics may come but they will not
affect the industrious farmer who is
out of debt with a good house to live
in. There is no happier man in our
state to-day than an industrious, econo-
mical, contented, educated farmer.
The great Creators idea of happiness for
man was the garden of Eden. And
all the evils that followed are the re-
suit Of desire to improve on what
God then made perfect, and from that
day to this mans happiest days were
spent at home on the farm that he had
beauti6ed with his own labor, eating
his own bread under his own vine and
fig tree.
Let our young men who are looking
for situation after going through col
lege make up their minds to take the
land their father is willing to give. Let
him resolve to make living on it, and
to add the surplus each year to its i'm
provement. Diversity the crops in it,
select that which pays best, raise good
stock, fruits, etc., and every year make
the land you cultivate better than il
was before, and we are willing to risk
your condemnation if you fail.
