The Election.

1t is at last conceded by everybody
that Grover Cleveland and Thos. Hendricks
have been elected president and vice resi-
dent, and will serve the people for four
pay from the 4th of March next. How
we'll and faithfully remains to be seen.
No one need doubt that the best efforts of
both those gentlemen will be given to the
best possible service of the whole people.
If the country shall continue to have fair
crops and a reasonable exemption from
epidemcs and other troubles that are above
and beyond all human control, there is no
doubt of a material and steady improvement
in all the material interest of the country
There will be no sudden shock or violent
change in the course of trade. The rights
of capital and labor will each receive con-
siderate attention and protection. Jobs
and jobbery will be reduced to a minimum,
and we shall be freed from that beautiful
theory of protection, that fostering and pa.
ternal care that looks out for the proprietor
of some infant industry whilst it leads the
adult workiagman up to the point of
starvation.

The Lime Kiln Club.


Judge Cadaver was asked what lntiu-
ence women had on business, ard he
drew long breath and replied that II
it wasn't for the female sex the business
of the world would drop one-half; one
dry goods store in a city could supply
ali the men, but the women supported
two or three hundred of them. Women
not only maintained business hut es-
tahlished new manu- 'actures. For in
stance the decoration Of female hosiery
gave employment to 5000 persons the
year round. 1t was all out Of sight and
utterly useless, but it circulated millions
of dollars. Pads, bustles, paints, cos.
metics aud false hair were of no real
service, convenience or ornament, and
vet S5O, ZOO, 900 and the labor of 2U0, 900
people were the annual results, Wo-
man was straight business. When a
vile whose husband earns only S25 per
week can keep a carriage wear 500
bracelets aud put on $3.50 sealskin
sacaue, the man who contended that
the female sex had no financial ability
had better hang up.
