Monroe, 508 days in eight years, fol-
lowed by Madison. 637 days in eight
years; John Quincy Adams, 222 in
four years; Washington, l81 in eght

those bloody four years.-Tnter-0cean.

A Righteous Strike,

The printers employed on the Eve
ming Wisconsin, of Milwaukee, twenty
three in number, are on strike because
the manager of that sheet insisted, after
several remonstrances, Oh paying the
female compositors, members of the
Cream City Typographical Union,
% cents instead of SO cents per thousand
ems-the union scale-as paid to the
male compositors, and this, too, in the
face of the admission that the women
did better work than a majority of the
men.
The action of the union in making the
cause of the girls its own is worthy of all
commendation. Of course, no protective
organization could tolerate, for mo-
ment sliding scale arrangement, all its
members, irrespective of sex, age or
nationality, being required to observe
the minimum rate of wages. Any other
policy would be suicidal. The standard
raised -"equal pay for equal works.
