As to women, the Kentuckiau carries
his devotion to point that is delightful,
If it is absurd. He loves fine woman
with love that is half reverence. He
does not love her al the lion does the
lamb, to eat her, but with an acknowl-
edgment that she is the superior being,
that she was created to DO loved
and cherished, and all that sort of
thing, and that to love and cherish is not
only a pleasure, but the highest duty.
This comes from the fact that Kentucky
has a style of women TO be found nowhere
else. Physically splendid, they are ex-
oeedingly well endowed mentally, and the
peculiar feeling the Kentucky gentleman
has for them makes them better than they
would otherwise DO. They reciprocate
the feeling, They strive to be worthy
the alteration bestowed on them. They
quite understand that no man will
long worship sham, even in petticoats,
and so they do what is in them TO be
worth, individually, the consideration the
Kentuckian feels bound to accord them
collectively. Every woman strives to be
actually what every man in Kentucky
holds it as point OF honor to consider a
woman to be. The moral to this is that,
if men want woman to rise TO the heigth OF
their notions, the first step to make them
so is to 30 consider them. Put the stand
ard where you will, they will make q
desperate struggle to reach 1t.

THERE was enacted by the state Legis-
lature of 1879 a " fire escape" act intended
to compel factory owners and proprietors
to make suitable provision for the escape
of their employees in the event of fire A
recent suit in Philadelphia under the act
proves it to be one Of the faultiest pieces
of law making that has recently been
made in Harrisburg, the homo Of bungling
legislation. The act in question provides
that the "owner of factory, mandatory
or workshop" shall be responsible in
damages. 1t ia not stated whether Is meant
the " owner " of the land, the land and
building, the building alone, or simply the
plant Of the business. No mention is
made whatever of such person as
lessee " of a building of this description,
as though such person was au impossi
bility in manufacturing enterprises. One
fact stands out clearly in tho discussion
over the faulty law and that is that 80 long
as brainless political best workers in the
ward are sent to Harrisburg as law
makers, 80 long will the commonwealth be
cursed with bungling legislation.

QUAY is out in letter showing thai he
is misrepresented man that he is in no
conspiracy to defeat the reelection of the
Republican congressman from this state :;
that he is not engaged in any movement
for the benefit of any presidential candi
date, nor would he sympathizs with any
such movement. Believing that the
present is Pennsylvania hour of trial. it
seems to me the duty OF the Republicans
of the state, discarding personal prefer
ences, to send a delegation to Chicago who
after looking over the entire field in the
light of the situation as it exists on the
Sd of June, will act in the selection of
candidate for the presidency unitedly for
the best interest of the commonwealth,
the party and the country" If Mr.. Quay
is sincere he will probably not dip into the

waters this year, as he did in 1880.

German American and half In the Nortt

There appears to be but one theory as tc
where the fire originated. and that Is that Il
was la the second story Of the restaurant
building. The stovc-pipe from the stor,
room went through the ceiling and through
the nOor OF the upper room and then into
chimney In the roof. Il Is said that In the
second story was a lot OF loose straw. emp

when the namrs were discovered Issu,nS
from the windows. So the origin can b.
easily accounted for.
Had the wind been from the south Il 4,
likely that all the buildings to Lebrechth
