IT seems almost incredible that there are still
men who have seriously held the belief that
y cmocratic ideas as to the tariff and the cur
rcncy wodld tend to make business better IN
this country. Yet, when one considers how

question on whit theory they hue done so.
Probably the greater part vote from habit, not
having seriously considered whether tn, Suc-
cess Of either party wohld materially affect their

feeling without serious Investigation, or per
haps without much kn)wlcdre Of economic or

IL is simply astounding that in no one OF thu
many Cabinets which have been constructed for Mr..
Cleveland has the portfolio of tho War Department
been assigned to our own General Frank Spinola.
To be sure it used 10 be said that his wonderful
SHIRT collar was frequently mistaken for flag Of
trucc while he was in the army. But it would be
manifestly unjust TO exclude him from the coming
Cabinet for any such reason. Cleveland. as pro.

The labor troubles in South Norwalk, Conn.
arc due to the tyranny of the hattcrs' trade
union. The factory owners have been forced
by compcttion with rivals employing non
union labor, to make reduction of wages.
To this the employees might have consented
but their union forbade it. and the town Is now
in confusion. The small tradcsmcn who mis-
takcny suppose that they depend upon the lac
tory employees fora living, while it is really the lac

trap door, This woman is missing, and as Gray
had two wives at once it is supposed that he would
have been inclined to make away with one of
them. 1t is popularity of this mystery that
it can be explained on any theory which starts
out with missing woman of slender frame.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

Messrs. Editors The proper solution of the
labor probemat least as far as regards the length
of time to be devoted to work-seems to me to h2
the limit for women and children. TO make t.o
day of equal length for all is to put the weaker
members of the community on par with those
who are VIGOROUSLY their superiors in strength
and endurance-a confession OF inferiority which
few men are willing to acknowledge.
By regulating the duration Of their labor accord
ing to their relative capacities, the men could get
to work at say o'clock a. m, have an intermis-
sion of one hour at noon for dinner and quit work
at o'clock p. m, as think is now the CUSTOM
The women many of whom have families to attend
to- could arrange their houses after the departure
of their fathers, husbands sons or brothers, as the
case might be, prepare the midday meal, 60 to
the factory, or wherever else they might be en-
ployed, at o'clock a. M, have the same recess,
as the men, for dinner, and return home an hour
earlier to get all in readiness for their arrival
This scheme, whilst affording the women time to
attend to their outside work, would enable them
to perform those household duties which are in
cumbent on every mistress of n family, be she OF
high or low degree.
The workman, wearied with his days labor and
harassed by the hundred and one petty annoy
ances incident thereto, would look forward to the
completion of his task with that pleasant antici-
patton which only the certainty of tidy house,
can afford. On the other hand, should the whole
family come trooping home together they would
find no one to welcome them, no fire to comfort
Them the debris of the breakfast scattered around,
and confusion where all should be order and reg
ularity. Is it wonder that, under such circum-
stances, the bright, garish bar-room should prove
more attractive than the oheerless howell, which it
is a mockery to call a "Homes"
In village like Woodberry, for example, where
the employees live near the factories and whole
families are engaged in the same or kindred occu-
pations, such plan would be eminently feasible.
The walk to and from the workshop is beneficial
to the health of the women and children; the
length of time spent in active employment-if the
eight-hour system preyailed-would not be too
ar duous, whilst since they must be employed the
number of "bread-winners" would be augmented
without sacrificing the household work. To par
aphraze the we'll known lines of Sir W. Jones, we
would advise
''Ten hours for work, for soothing slumber seven
Seven to the world allot, and all to Heaven"
Thus we get time to work, and time to play;
time to sleep, and time to pray-a division ad-
mirably adapted to the needs of mankind.
Yours, &C., D. S. &.

TEA correspondent of the Baltimore San,
writing from Bladensburg, Md, few days ago,
says:
"Much activity is being displayed by the OPP
position to local option in Prince Georges county
in obtaining signers to petitions asking the pres
ent Legislature to repeal the prohibitory enact
ments and substitute therefor license law The
opposition GLAZING that no just expression of the
people was obtained when the question was sub
mitted to them four years ago; first, in that the
towns of Laurel and Hyattsville, both Of which
had prohibitory laws, and neither of which was
to be affected by the result, were allowed to vote,
and second, that the vote of Kent district, which
gave large majority for license, was thrown out
on account of allegations of irregularity, while
that of Bladensburg district, where similar irreg
uarities were alleged, and which gave majority
for prohibition, was counted. Had neither been
counted the result it is claimed, would have been
favorable to license. There are others who would
favor the present legislation properly enforced,
but who regard it in its open violation as only
tending to beget disregard for the law, degrad-
ing to the morals of a community. Counter Pc
titions will also be sent to the Legislature asking
additional penalties for infractions of the law.
Others are in circulation asking resubmission
of the question to the people. very respect
able sentiment is favorable to the middle ground
