WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1884.
The two coming events that are most
talked of in Washington now are the
Inauguration and the monument dedica-
ton. Imposing as were the inaugural
ceremonies of President Garfield, they
will doubtless be excellcd by the celebra-
ton of the advent to power of the only
Democratic President that this genera
ton has seen. Young Democracy and
old Democracy will both be here to wit
ness the pagent. Preceding that cele-
bration by less than fortnight, will be
the ceremonies to be observed in honor
of the completion of the Washington
monument This will add greatly to the
concourse of people, coming from every
quarter of the nations's territory, who
will seek to participate in or witness two
such memorable ceremonies. Congress
has conhded the exercises relating to the
Inauguration of the monument to COM
mittee of Senators and Representatives
and the installation ceremonies of Presi-

bia. Arrangements are already under
way providing accommodations and
places of sojourn for the large numbers
of people who will be here. Governor
Cleveland, Attorney General O'Brien
Controller Chaplin, and other State officer,
at Albany have secured rooms at VIII
lard's hotel for the Inauguration, as have
also the Cleveland Body Guard, and the
Cleveland Buffalo club. More than two
weeks ago, the Washington Monument
reached point higher than that of any
artificial structure in the world. It il

Since the Republican headquarters
here were closed the building has been
rented by the proprietor of the Ar
lington hotel, to accommodate guests
who will come tn the inauguration.
President Arthur leads very quiet
life now, spending the business part of
the day at the White House, and going
out to Soldiers Home in the afternoon.
He will be busy for another week yet on
his message To Congress, and it may he
the last that Republican President will
send to Congress of the United States
for many years. II is suid he will set
forth the principles and policies which
he thinks should control the party, and
make such recommendations on the sub
ject of the collection of the revenues
the management of the government bust
ness generally, and the foreign relations
of the United States ms shall afford IL
practicable basis for future party action.
The general opinion IF members of
Congress who have arrived in Washing
ton is that very little will be done at the
coming session beyond the passage of
appropriation bills. II is not improbable
that something may he done with the
pending land grant forfeiture bills, the
bill to prohibit the importation of foreign
labor, and the Educational bill, but it is
likely that appropriation and pension
bills will consume most of the session.
Although Governor Cleveland has re.
marked that he supposed his friends
would have consulted him before decid,
ing the matter of his Cabinet, his party
friends in Washington are trying as in.
dustriously rs eyerto save him all trouble
in that direction. Mr.. Randall's position
continues to be topic of discussion
among the politicians. The Interior de
partment is the last place selected fol
him, upon the ground that it is now tn,
most important department of the Gov
eminent, and would open 4 field to Mr.
Randalls aggressivcnesS that would
bring credit to himself and party. They
say when the Tariff question is taken NJ
by the next Congress, it will be desirable
to have the sturdy protectionist in
place where his views can do no harm.

STRIKES. They are at il every
where. For what purpose it is hard
to divine-further than to increase
the poverty and wretchedness of
many. In some cases perhaps it is
well for working men to uphold
their rights in securing living wages.
What is the result? In many in
stances, after being out for days, and
even weeks, they return to work at
the same prices at which they quit.
Who are the greatest sufferers I'm
doubleday the families of the poor
laborer. Strikes should properly be
classified, and in this wise: Unmar-
ried men, those who sacrifice none
but themselves; and the married
men, those who sacrifice every thing
themselves, wife and children. II

would rarely inaugurate strike

If some of the papers who are
continually harping ON the free
trade business, would just read the
platforms of the two parties, they
would see that there is no cause for
such talk rs uttered by them.
However, when sensible men read
these articles they generally know
how much salt to take with them if
they swallow them. We are sure
a majority want to see free trade out

truction will walk broadcast over

II women's and girls ready
made clothing were as SIM
pie a matter as mems and
boys, we might jumpright in
to making it just as we make
mems and boys, and cover
the whole need of women and
girls as we cover the whole
need of men and boys.
Each Of these four branches
of business has it peculiari-
ties. One by no means inn
plies any other of the four
Many a merchant deals in
ladies' clothing and not girls;
in mems and not boys. And
mems and boys is a very
different business from wo-
mems and girls.
The business of mems and
boys clothing had twenty
years the start of women's
and girls. Mems began first,
then boys. The word cloth
ing acquired " the meaning
mems clothing; by the utmost
stretch it means no more now
than mems and boys. We
are straining usage to make
it cover women and girls but
that's the way language
grows: first the need, then the
word; and the world wakes
up to the need after the word
is born. tSy
Mems and boys clothing
began small and crude. On
ly the toughest work was
done at first. 1t has taken a
generation Of men and three
or four generations of boys
forethe phrase readymade
clothing to outgrow the i'll
repute it got into by thorough
work that was done under
that phrase at first. 1t hasn't
yet outgrown the reproach.
Many a man is measured and
pays double who might as
well buy readymade. We
measure and make ready
made both; and we've no in
terest in worrying people out
of their prejudices. They
will work themselves out in
time. Besides, some have
got to be measured anyhow.
Now we know all about
mems and boys clothing.
We were fairly in at the start
and hav'n't fallen behind very
much in the past twenty
years. We know what to
make, and how to make it.
how to sell it, how to hold
our trade, and how to widen
it over the country far away.

different. 1t is behind. It'll
always be behind, while fash
ion touches little more than
shape with men and boys,
and leaves nothing untouch-
ed with women and girls.
So long as the difference eX-
lists in the custom of the time,
women's and girls ready
made clothing can never be
made to cover the whole
need of women and girls as
mems and boys clothing
cover the whole need of NOR
and boys. The aim is there
fore different .must be diff
ferent; and he will best sue
coed in dressing women and
girls who recognizes the diff
ference in demand.
We mean to make grad
ually clear how wide our
scope in clothing is, and is
going to be. 1t isn't easy to
be brief and clear about a
matter having SO many as
poets and ramihcations.
Dressmaking both for
women and girls is yet dis.
puted work between homes
and stores. The store is go
ing to have tin time, because
store is going to beat home
both in style and economy.
There's a difference inhomes.
There's a difference in stores,
1t is a saying that a woman
in business can't afford to
make her own clothing. 1t
is already felt that she can
not afford to make her girls
clothing. Mems and boys
has passed beyond dispute.
1t is going to be recognized
that a woman, whose time is
of any account ar all, can't af-
ford to do several things that
now she expends her time
upon. We are doing our part
to make the clothing of the
