trouble began as far back as last May, and
even earlier. In that month 152 Democrats
voted for 'the first step toward free
trade" and American industries were
stricken with alarm. Factories that had
run with full force, on full time, either closed
up or cut down their force or time. Others
reduced wages in anticipation of the necessity
for so doing under free trade This has been
kept up; and now, since Democratic admin
istratiou has been assured, the depression is
even more marked. The future is anything
but cheering, and if the Courier-J ournal's
ideas are to rule the incoming administration,
there is nothing to do but for workingmen to
make up their minds TO either seek homes on
a Western farm OF accept the wages paid less
favored workmen in England and on the con-
tinent. We have no disposition to cry down
the situation, but, having repeatedly shown
that what has come would come, we feel that
we have the right to call attention to it.
Even the Courier Journal, in the same issue,
says that the business situation has little in it

a LOST OPPORTUNITY,

The Rev. Mr.. Downs, whose wife eloped
with Deacon Terry, last week, occupied his
pulpit as usual on Sunday. A large and sym
pathetic congregation was present; Mrs. Terry
was there, and several expectant reporters
came early and took front seats. They (the
reporters) were prepared to take notes, too,
had the sermon been up to what they consid-
cred the requirements of the occasion, but it
was not They waited patiently to the end,
and were forced to record the disappointing
fact that "Mr Downs made no reference
whatever to the elopement." This was great
and serious oversight on the part of Mr.
Downs. Here was an opportunity such as
happens to few, and may never be given him
again, for drawing an instructive object-lesson
of moral nature. Some of the objects were
lacking, it is true, but enough were present
for illustrative purposes. He himself was the
awful example-a man who had been thought
less enough to bring a wife to Long Island,
where matrimonial infelicities are epidemic,
anu eAPeol uer W reHdlu lditnIul.
Mrs. Terry might have been utilized as
living instance of the folly of an unattractive
wife who placidly sees her husband hover
about prettier woman, and has such con-
fdence in him that she refuses to be jealous.
Doubtless, being on Long Island, there were
many in the congregation on the verge of
domestic earthquakes who needed powerful
warning, just such as Brother Downs could
have given them. If he stands up before
them serenely and talks about time worn, old
fashioned sins, just as he always did, will not
members of his flock who are contemplating
elopements naturally feel that it does not hurt
much and so abandon their legal partners
with even fewer compunctions than they
might otherwise experienced What Mr. Downs
might have done had he risen to the occasion,
as the reporters expected, was to have thrown
himself into commissions of grief. He might
have held up his agony and turned it around
for the benefit of all beholders. He might,
too, have touched up the deserted Mrs.
Terry's misery. until that lady was driven
into such hesterics as would have conveyed a
warning to all men contemplating even the
slightest deviation from matrimonial rectitude.
None of these things did the Long Island, but
short-sighted, preacher do. Besides. the excel
lent moral effect of such sermon on his own
flock Mr., Downs lost chance for free adver-
Using which would have brought him to the
front at once and have made him in demand
as popular lecturer Immediately. His New
York brethren are more enterprising and few
of them would have allowed such an opportu-
nifty to slip; sbut Mr.. Downs's chance for
achieving greatness in this way is lost forever,
unless, indeed. he should marry again and re-
main on Long Island. Should such chance
for distinction again arise, he will probably be
under the necessity of sending for reporters
Once deceived and disappointed In man,
these conservators of public and private morals
must be coaxed and conciliated.

THE Long Island woman of means, who went
to Boston in search of husband and advertised
her wants, is securing much wider field of
choice than the average woman enjoys who stays
quietly at home and waits for suitors to find her
out. Already this enterprising person has re-
ceived $50 proposals, all by letter. An agent
acts for her, and as yet she has had no personal
interview with the anxious and aspiring swains
A meeting has been arranged, however. Photo
graphs of fifteen Of the most attractive gentle
men who have offered themselves have been Sc
lected by the lady from the lot; these have been
hidden to an interview, when. in company with
her agent, she will compare the pictures with
the originals and make her selection. Fourteen
hearts, nay 249 hearts, are doomed to dlsap-
pointment and bitter pangs of envy of the lucky
applicant, and members of her own sex are al
ready speaking in unhattering terms of the Long
Island woman who deliberately causes such
cruel and wholesale suffering.

WOMEN who want to be clerks in Washington
derstood for some time that they were being dis
eliminated against under the civil-service rules,
which allow the heads of departments to call for
male clerks if they prefer them when vacancies
are to be filled 1t is now claimed by the blondes
that not only do they have to fight favoritism
shown to men, but also that evinced toward bru-
nettes of their own sex. The startling discovery
is announced that such appointments as are now
given to women are invariably bestowed upon
the dark haired sisterhood. When taxed with
themselves by saying that blondes are apt to
be quick tempered, and do not make as good
clerks as brunettes Naturally there is great
rivalry and hatred between these factions-a
war of white and red roses. so to speak. The
blondes, however, are able to score one over
their despised antagonists owing to the appoint
