Those people who complain of scar
city of work. in consequence of the
introduction of labor-saving machin.
cry are confronted with the fact that
the wages of working men is better
now than before the introduction of
machinery. One dollar day was re.
gatded a full price for harvesting
hands when, the sickle and grain cradle
were used in harvesting. The wages
of those employed in mechanical
trades are better now than before the
helps of machinery. Most kinds of
manufactured goods which ale the
common necessities of families have
been reduced three fourths in price.
But more than all, the general ccrdi-

The great Suez canal, which at the
time of its first undertaking was by
many regarded as work of doubtful
success, has since its completion so far
satisfied the most sanguine expecta-
tions that it is now resolved to widen
and deepen it, more than doubling its
present business capacity. Other water
highways OH the eastern continent,
shortening the distance of ship travel
between different countries, are to be
undertaken. In less than a quarter Of
a century there will be more than one
ship canal between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, besides other great
water channels constructed, especially
one eastward from the Mississippi
river, probably on the line of the con
temp.dted Hennepin canal.

TEMPERANCE PROGRESSING.

While prohibition is not making
rapid progress, and direct temperance
legislation moves tardily, the cause is
making more sure advancement in
another direction. The people are be-
ing educated, especially the rising gen.
GRAFTON, as to the fearful effect of alco-
holic liquors on the vital organs.
When men are led to see in the light of
science what violence they are doing
themselves by the use of spurious
liquors, they will turn away and as
soon take viper into their bosoms as
alcohol into their stomachS. Many in
telligent temperance men and women
have more faith in education than in
legal prohibition. Miss Willard, the
we'll known temperance lecturer, in a
recent statement in the Chicago Ad-
vaace. gives encouraging facts in respect
to laws passed in many states providing
for instruction in physiology in public
schools, with special reference to the
effect of alcoholic liquor on the human
system. The states of Alabama, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Kan
sas, Michigan, New York, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Maine, have enacted
laws making the physiological effec is OF
alcoholic liquors study in public
schools. Several other states are
named, which are quite sure to adopt
a like course of legislation at any early
day. In this educational movement t
the women of the country have taken
a lively interest, and through their in.
fluence much of this kind of legislati on
has been secured.

81 also Will give my opinion. "-ELIAU.
Some one, in paragraph in last
weeks paper, used the word Mug
wump." / think he had not a right
conception of what the word means.
1t was given as term of reproach to
a class of voters that dared to think
for themselves, and did not vote at
the command of the political bosses.
The correct meaning then is: Mug
wump:-A man who does his own
thinking and dares to vote for the can
didate that in his judgment is best fit
ted for office.
Some way back in the last century
the term Methodist was applied to per-
sons who did their own thinking in
religious matters, and the name stuck,
and Methodists by thousands are proud
of the name, and if the bosses keep on
using the word voters will get to be
proud of being Mugwumps. - =

HEALTH IMPAIRED BY OVER
TAXATION OF STUDY IN
SCHOOL-THE REMEDY.


brain in school is eliciting much dis
cussion among edu Gators and those
who take an interest in the health of
children and youth. 1t is alleged that
the physical condition Of school boys
and girls is impaired by too many
close hours of study in our schools as
now conducted, and that diseases are
contracted which prove lasting, if not
fatal. Statistical facts have been adj
duced to show the truth Of these state
ments. But it is strange that those
loudest in complaining of the evil fail
to suggest the true remedy. They in
sist on less hours of study and more
play, as representatives. of the ill effects
of too intense application. There is a
better remedy, and quite as pleasing to
school boys and girls as more play.
The introduction Of industrial trades
in schools offers the best plan for pre-
serving the health and vigor of the
young; it does away with headaches,
and other complainings so common in
the school room; it affords the neces-
sary exercise for the enjoyment of
health and the better development of
the physical system.
Wherever mechanical trades have
been made part of school education,
it has improved the general health of
the. scholars, given them better appe-
titles and made them stronger. The
halfway educational reformers recon-
mend gymnasiums as the best exercise
for school boys and girls. Gymna-
Sums afford healthful amusement,
but they impart no practical education,
and combine no economies with book
learning. The idea of a gymnasium
sounds more pleasing and genteel than
workshop tools. because it is not asso-
ciated with that despised idea of labor.
False notions of life keep the sugges-
ton of labor in the background as
something only fitting for the lower
classes. That labor is honorable every
one admits in theory for the sake of
decency, but practically labor is too
much looked upon as belonging to in
| feriors.
It has been well established that
trades, wherever made part of school
education, are not looked upon by the
young of either rich or poor parents as
something repugnant, nor yet as a
drudgery, but as attractive and pleas
ing. Scholars enjoy using tools in the
workshop better than the sports on
the play grounds. When the vast i'm
portance of educating the rising
generation, rich and poor, in some USE
full industry is considered in all it's
bearings on the future, it must strike
every thinking mind as wise econ
Omy. What are the millions coming
on the stage of action to do if they
have only school-book education :?
Are the millions without trained oc-
cupation to live by their wits alone :?
The class of tradeless young men and
women is increasing every year. "To
dig they cannot, to beg they are
ashamed The demand of the times
is for skilled labor. Stalwart young
men are seen standing on the streets,
waiting for call of some kind; they
have educated heads but not educated
hands. If they had learned trade in
their school days, it might be pass.
port to employment for respectable
wages, but having no trade, their book
learning is unavailable to purchase
food and clothing.

The complications in the Illinois
legislature, which have been in con-
tinuance for months, appear now
no nearer a termination than many
weeks ago. Gen. John A. Logan, the
Republican candidate for United States
Senator has a number of times come
within one vote of an election, and the
people have been anxious for his sue
cess, but a few unreliable men in the
legislature are absent from duty when
their votes are needed. The end is
doubtful.

was answered. a Tasier lady resided
about half block away, and she would
send for her. Presently a colored
woman made her appearance and in
troduced herself with the remark,
Madam, am de lady what does de
washin'." Since the emancipation of the
negroes it is common for the colored
women to speak of each ether as
ladies. This is particularly true in the
city of Washington, where nearly one.
third Of the population of the city is
of the negro race" The women adj
dress each other as ladies with a
peculiar politeness characteristic of the
colored people. Who dare question the
right Of the colored women to inter
change with each other the word lady !?
They have as legitimate right to EN-.
ploy that name as the people of any
other nationality or color. It has not
come down through the generations to
any class III this country by right of
inheritance, birth or education.
The word lady has been growing
steadily in use among all classes of
common people. In England the word
lady is used with far less frequency
than in this country. The queen is
seldom spoken of as lady, but usually
she is called woman In the British
Parliament the title lords and ladies is
not uncommon, lady being the CO.
relative of lord. The authorities say
when the title lady first came to be
used in England, it belonged by right
to the daughters of peers and extended
by courtesy to the wives Of baronets
and viscounts. Women were raised to
the rank of ladies in virtue Of the high
official positions of their husbands.
In this country the word lady has
gained such feothold that lexico.
graphers define it to be the co-relativ e
| of gentleman, which latter is defined
to mean man raised above the vul
gar, by birth, education and condition
therefore when the expression g. we
ladies" is heard, it is equivalent tt
saying, f" We of high birth, education
sc. There has always been tendency
in some classes to ape the arts tocracies
of Europe, but now since the name
lady has become so commonplace anG
meaningless, would it not sufficiently
indicate responsibility by using the
word woman? Woman, in the true
sense, is as honorable distinction as
lady possibly can be. Woman is {
grand name; it has come down to us
from the classic ages. There can be
no more appropriate and dignified
name than woman, where titles OF
nobility are not recognized.
The name woman is now almost
universally employed in the title OF
state and national organizations OF
women, whether religious, temperance,
educational, suffrage, benevolent or
other purpose Whoever hears of a
ladies state society for any object of
general Importance? Distinguished
literary writers are not called ladies
but women. It cannot reasonably be
expected that the name lady will ever
fall into disuse, long custom has so
strongly given it currency that it will
always have place. In many kinds
of expression it's omission would ap.
pear awkward and inharmonious but
in great majority of cases the word
lady where now used might be dispens-
ed with for the better. g
