A HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE.
Her Strife After q Higher Life and
What Came Of It.

I had worked in Aunt Deborah's
kitchen till nobody expected anything

house on suferance at first, because
Aunt Deborah's brother. my father,
had run through all his property, and
was only distinguished by his shiftless

after me, that / know of.
Aunt Deborah had a great deal o.
company, being rich and childleS
widow. and fond of society. But ne
one ever noticed me. Twas not ever
snubbed, for it was not worth while to
snub a, mere drudge like me.

that,I earned my own living, Elsie was
continually being tainted with heI

servility by her constant threats of dis.
Inheritance.
Elsie would have been kind to me il
i had allowed it. but l had a sort OF
pride which forbade me to receive
patronage from any one. L must be
received on an equal footing or not at
all. The only pleasure of my life was
unlimited liberty to use the books in
my aunt's great and ever-increasing
library NV rough work unified my

Economy of Education.

Education promotes industry and les
sesns idleness. 1t awakens and multi
plies desires, and thus incitcs effort to
secure the means of their qualification.
The Indian builds his rude wigwam and
fashions his bow and arrow, and toma-
hawk, and with these his wealth and in-
dastry cease. Ignorance everywhere
clothes itself in rags and lives in novels,
but when mans nature is opened by ed
ucation his desires clamor at the gateway
Of every nerve and sense for qualification.
Effort is thus melted and the forms Of
industry multiplied. Wealth is the child
OF intelligence. 1t makes labor more
skillful and productive. This statement
is based on wide comparisons Of intelli-
gent and ignorant labor, and is not ques-
toned by any one familiar with the facts.
The hand is another hand when guided
by intelligence, educated skill, and the
nations now appealing to education to
give success to their industrial pursuits.
1t improves the condition of the laborer.
Nowhere do educated people cover then
nakedness with rags. Intelligence cre-
ates and impels to effort, and this multi
plies and secures comforts and easements.
1t adds to the dignity Of labor.-Normal

The Press.

The Nannfacturcrs' Record, of Baltimore
in recent article in regard to the rapid
growth and development of the South.
says of the press:
Every dollar spent in building up a first
class local paper In town will be returu-
ed many a fold, for even if the money
thus spent In advertising should not bring
direct profit, it would be more than re-
paid by the immense good that -four
ishing paper necessarily accomplishes
for the town IN which it is published. To
say that \ town is judged by ITS papers is
only to state truth that everybody
knows. Somen,ay say that one paper is
naturally more pushing and enterprising
than aaother-very true; but no paper
can be enterprising unless its business
jnstifics, and the seeming lack of enter
prise in many country papers is often
solely from the lack Of adequate financial
means. Our ideas as to dozens of South
ern country towns, that we have never
seen, are formed by their local papers,
and we imagine that, Judging simply by
these papers. we can almost, without a
mistake. name the town whose business
men are pushing and energetic; and then,
on the other side. name those where en-
terprise is almost unknown.
If the people of amy Southern town are
anxious to see its population steadily in
crease, the value of their property enhan-
ced, and all their business interests pres
porous, the first and most important step
to take is to furnish their local paper
with such support rs will enable its pub
Usher to furnish thoroughly live paper,
and then pretty soon the outside world
wilt begin to hear of the paper, and then
OF the town, and presently they will be-
gin to make inquiries as to what Kind of
a town it Is. as q place Of residence or for
business, aud thus if the place really has
good advantages, it has started on the
road to prosperity.

THE PLAN OF THE COMMISSIONER
OF LABOR.


The Commissionef>ef Labor, a
Federal officer in the Department
of the Interior, Is about to set on
foot "A more than usually compre-
henslve and thorough inquiry into
the conditions governing the labor
problem in this country and Eu-
rope. The United States are to
be divided into twelve sections
with an agent allotted to each,
while four additional agents are to
be sent to Europe, and it is to be
hoped that from their joint labors
much light will be thrown upon
the increasing industrial difficulties
of our times. 1t is understood
that this undertaking is heartily
approved by Secretary Lamar, and
will receive all the assistance which
it is in his power to render.
Certainly the Government could
deal with no question of more inn
portance to the great majority of
the people, and, in our judgment,
a preliminary investigation of the
sort referred to is the proper pre-
cursor to legislative action in regard
to it. Congressional investigation
in this direction has hitherto been
well nigh barren of results, if we
may accept the one inevitable re-
suit of expensiveness. The rea-
son is that Congressional inquiries
are prosecuted by opposing parties
not so much with the purpose of
ascertaining the exact truth and
the whole truth as with a view to
making out a particular case on the
establishment of. a preconceived
theory. It is much better to place
the work in the hands of men who
have no interest either in the sup
preston or in the manufacture Of
testimony. The labor question
threatens to take prominent place
in the political discussions Of the
immediate future, and it will be
well to ascertain the actual facts of
the situation as judicially as posi-
bic in advance of the clamor and
confusion of debate.
Political economy is properly an
inductive science; that is to say, it
is science whose laws should be
induced from observed facts rather
than deduced from assumed premi-
ses. Production and exchange
may be governed by fixed princi-
pies of automatic validity; but it
is to the last degree unsafe to at
tempt to define the application of
these principles by abstract reason
ing merely in the midst of constant
~ changing conditions. The same
may be said of the relations of
capital and labor, and indeed of
the whole subject matter of politl-
cal economy. Pure mathematics
is one thing, applied mathematical
ly is another; and we may make
precisely the same distinction in
industrial science. We welcome,
therefore, an enterprise which
proposes to deal with facts, with
governmental authority, but in a
non-partisan spirit, with view to
the discovery of those causes of
recurrent depression in all branch
es of business which are neither
local or merely accidental. States
manship everywhere will be adj
vanced by the study of a body of
statistics prepared without regard
to the requirements of theorists on
the one hand, or the exigencies of
political debate on the other
Picdyuae.
