The Working Women Problem.
Boston Globe.


Most of the subjects on which Rev.
Mr.. Savage has touched in his series OF
sermons on ''Man, Woman and Child, .
he has treated clearly and definitely,
and has pointed out a possible way fol-
1.-THE lettering of things. But IN his ser.
mon on Sunday, on the "Working.
women's problem" while he spoke
sympathetically and progressively, he
stopped short of offering any adequate
measures of relief and Improvement
His suggestion that training schools
should be established to make skilled
laborers, his plea for the truth that it
should be considered as noble for a
woman to work as it is for man, his
recommendation that the law should
remedy some of the inequalities be-
tween workingmen and women are all
very well as far as they go. But they
60 such a very little way. If they
might be brought into the fullest oper-
alton at once how much benefit would
the sewing woman receive whom he
old about getting seven cents a dozen
for finishing shirts?
Mr.. Savage is on the wrong track.
He wants to cure deep set evils by out
side applications. The trouble is with
our theories and our systems. Physi-
clans say that as the strength of a
chain is equal to its weakest link, so the
vital strength of the body is equal to Its
weakest organ. And in the same way
the badness of social and commercial
system should be estimated by the pull
it's makes on the weakest members of
society.
The sad and ruinous burdens of work
ing women are only the results of con-
ditions that press more hardly on them
than on men, because they are weaker.
The wrong is at the root of the whole
matter, and the working woman can
receive no definite and lasting benefit
except by working from that root up
ward and making the conditions of life
easier and freer for both workingmen
and workingwomen.

ONCE Is ENOUGH.
How People Feel About Repeating Their
Lives.

Though most people do their best to
prolong life, few are in favor of repeat
ing it. Even with the wisdom acquired
in lifetime to arm one for the battle
nobody longs to 60 back and try it all
over again. Indeed, those who are
honest admit that they could not do it :;
that knowing what the ordeal is they
would have no courage to begin it.
Each seems to feel as he nears the end
of the intricate and tiresome Journey
that he has been miraculously preserv-
ed; that another time he mi ht not be
so fortunate. The greater his ac-
emulation of wisdom the more certain
he Is of this. Nothing is so destructive
to self-conceit than living.
1t is not the disabled, the defeated
and the baff1ed alone who rejoice that
the business of life is one that can have
no repetition. The successful, the
honored, the envied-those who are
considered victors-entertain the same
feeling. They rejoice that it is not to
be done over again.
No one wants to live his childhood
over again, although that stage of his
existence may have been comparatively
a happy one. Maturity has taught him
that it was inferior; and sad as his
wisdom is, he would not exchange it
for the crude bliss of ignorance.
The middle-aged man signs perhaps
that his youth has been spent unproit-
ably, but he does not want it back
again.
The patriarch boasts of his days of
strong young msnhood, but he would
not 60 back and live them over if he
could. No, he does not wish to live it
over again, not even its happiest hours.
They are all safe in memory, and he
speaks of them with a smile and sigh,
but he does not ask for them again l..
Yet they were full of honor, crowded
with love and crowned with success.
And the aOed woman whose Oirlhood

Cooking With Oil Stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on
cookery, says: When one tells you
that there is ssno trouble" in using an
oil stove you may be morally certain
that she does not know what she is
talking about. To be sure you are
saved additional heat and dust in the
summer when you have so much of
both from nature herself; but unless
you are careful you will have smoky
atmosphere and disagreeable odor
You needn't have either if you choose
to manage properly; the emo trouble'
people will have it all the time. The
way to avoid it is to keep the burner
perfectly clean, and entirely free from
the gummy burner deposit which even
the best oil will have on the polished
brass burner. Every day the burner
should be washed in hot, clean suds,
thoroughly dried and the wick re-
placed; the little brass network about
the base of the burner should be care
fully wiped and kept free from
every particle of dust. The wick
should be cut squarely and
evenly with sharp scissors, and not
even a thread should be left that is
higher than the rest. When the blaze
is extinguished the wick should be
turned down at least half an inch be-
low the edge of the burner. If it is
left above, or even with the top, it will
absorb oil, and the oil will run over
the top, making it greasy and soiled,
and emit an unpleasant odor. The
best quality of Oil should be used, as,
after all, it is fully as economical
there is less sediment in it, it will burn
to the last drop, will not smoke Sc
badly and does not leave such rank
,odor. The stove should be filled after
using, and when it is first lighted the
blaze should be watched, because it in
creases in intensity and very soon be-
gins to smoke. 1t can then be regu
lated and left for some time, especially
if you are baking; if you have water
on boiling, as soon as the water reaches
the boiling point the fame will increase
again and must be turned down. TIL.
reason for this nobody pretends to ex
plain, but the fact remains.

THE SENATE BULLOoZED.

IL is a pitiabe sight to see buildozing
anywhere, but to be compelled day alte'
day to witness the process of the august
senate of the United States being regu-
larly brow-beaten by such II whipper
snapper as the repudiated RIDDLEBER-
GER from the Shenandoah valley, is
notifying in the extreme. Yet it is
the yeritable truth, sad though the truth
may he.
1t has been more than two weeks since
PRESIDENT ARTHUR sent in the names
of HATToN and MCCULLOUGH to the sen-
ate for confirmation. HArToN for post
master-general was at once confirmed,
yet that OF MCCULLOUGH hangs fire, and
whv? Simply because MALONE and
RIDDLEBERGER oppose his confirmation
Not that they care one iota for his sup
posed unsoundness on the tariff,
(from Republican standpoinD but
because he bitterly opposed
their Reputation scheme in
Virginia. RIDDLEDERGER was a
southern soldier, a Democrat and re-
pudiationist, yet Us Il green member OF
the senate, he stands up boldly and de-
fies the Republican leaders of the senate
to fail in doing his bidding. MIR. ED
MuNDs, JOHN SHERMAN, INGALLS,, o.
GAN, HoAR and all have to recognize the
fact that CAPT. RIDDLEBGRGER holds
the knout in his hands with which he
can flay them into acquiescence i'll his
will. He and little BILLY hold the bal
ance of power and the last vestige OF
Radical power would be forever gone il
the two Virginia readjusters were to do
sert the ranks. A more abiect, trucking
set were never seen, and it is bad ioi
them either way. If they submit, they
wear the RIDDLEBERGER collar and Of

hand, they rebel, away goes their las
vestige of hope and the administration

ron Ofnna aud nthofs, WIN oppose ili'
matlur N carrying conceded wcarns
" felony, hat H. IL willing Ia sdmli that
II IL dehaiablo question, aud rlvo the
arguments pro and con.
Tho senator argues that an o1onse
that Il not a felony per 80 would not
generally ho punished as felony,
though made ono by statute, Accord
Ing 10 this view II would be bad policy
Ia make anything legal felony that ~
not moral or social felony. We are
not prepared to admit the soundncss of
this argument, and II the deductions are
true, then We say that public opinion Is
fqst drifting 10 that point where II will
regard the carrying OF concealed
weapons ar felonious in itself
Those who oppose this new Legislation
also claim that IL Is not the severity OF
the penalty, but tho certainty of pun
ishment that deters criminals. They
claim that two or three months impris-
onment would deter as many men from
carrying concealed weapons as would "a
heavier penalty, rs the disgrace of being
imprisoned would be as great in one as
in the other instance. II this be true
why should II not apply to many other
olienses which are now punished by
long terms OF imprisonment? II is uni
versallly admitted that some imprison-
ment, rs u penalty, is necessary, but the
question IS, which would be more effect
i've, sixty days In the county Jail, or ono
year in the pcnitentiary! Shall 1t be
published as a misdemeanor, or as fell
ony!
SENATOR GIBBS chief argument
against making it felony, Is that I'M
der our statutes there are already crca-
ted too many felonies. He claims that
there are now a proportionately large
number of penitentisry convicts in
Texas because Texas punlshes petty
larcenies and some other oiienses by
imprisonment in tho penitentiary, that
In other states are puaished by short
terms in the county jails or on county
road work. We admit that the num-
Der ofconvicts to be cared for by the
state is serious one, and that to mako
provision for them in the walls will re-
quire an immense outlay, yet if the
peace and good order of society require
their Imprisonment we cannot
stop AZ expense for society
must be protected at all hazards.
If sixty days imprisonment would be
sufficient, or equally as efficient in sup
pressing the Otlense, the HERALD would
favor it, but at present we are inclined
to favor making it a felony.
The senator claims further, that iii
many portions of Texas it is only re-
Gently that carrying concealed W 'apons
has been made even misdemeanor,
and to suddenly increase the penalty to
Imprisonment in the penitentiary would
be too radical an increase OF punish
ment. Our reply to this is, that as soon
as the law was passed its provisions
would be known. and every man should
be prepared to obey its mandates.

line intersec,s with Elm street, and sus-

an Drs. Morton and Allen,
who were called in to
see the child have but little
hopes of its recovery. The driver, John
ca on, WAS arrested on the charge of
aggravated assault, but gave bond for
his appearance. Some say that the acci-

the time the accident occurred that
there were four or five children on the
track, and that all got of but the little
ono injured, who was pulling toy wa
gon. The mules scared at tho wagon,
and becoming unmanageable, ran over
the child. He put on the brake and en-
deavured to check them, but in vain.
He and the other drivers say that chill
dren are in the habit of playing along
the line. Young Cason appears to re-
greet the affair very much.
