the people.
After Mr.. Chandler goes there will be no
attempt at his despotic ruling of the navy
for while, as Cleveland's secretary will
doubtless be at least sensible man and a
gentleman. But as tyranncal dogs are at
all times apt to slip into office, it will be
well for the House to give Mr.. Chandler to
understand that he may not interfere with
their free communication with the officers
Of the navy.

DESPITE the very bad year for trade lesi
was, it is found that the number Of book pub
lications increased twenty per cent over the
preceding year, being S,4sl in 1883 and Loss
in 1854. The big increase need not be taken
as an indication of a profitable year for the
book publishers, for 1t was not The extreme
competition among the publishers and the
dire needs of impecunious authors are res
ponsiple for the difference between the two
years, though it is sad that the inference can
not be drawn that hard times make a book

THE groun d-hog must felicitate himself
that he stayed not abroad on Candlemas Day.

THE lot of the friendless shop girl i'll a
great city is often a very distressing one. A
New York paper that has been giving some
attention to the difficulties under which the
weaker sex labor in winning their bread
states that the average weekly wages of shop
girl is only 50, and that the applicants for
places almost outnumber the occupants. 1t is
affirmed that no class of workers in America
is worse paid and subjected 10 more indigni-
ties than store girls Their hours of labor
are long. They are rarely permitted TO rest
their aching limbs. The atmosphere they
breathe is unhealthy. Their scanty food is
eaten so hastily that digestion is impaired.
Their wages are so low that to those who
have only studied the sunny side of life it is
amarvel how they manage to support them
selves. They are required to be well-dressed
and of smiling demeanor, and to endure
without flinching the brutal rudeness of some
of their customers. They do not even have
any of the advantages to be derived from a
tradesunion, but are at the complete mercy
of employers who find nothing easier than to
replace them when deemed necessary When
the fierce light OF the temptations that sur
round the shop girl is considered, the wonder
is that her lapse from virtue is so inirequent.

Domestic Infeiicity Exposed.

a well-dressed and gentlemanly looking
young man, who said he was Charles Jack
son, cashier Of the Park theatre, Of Chicago,
told Police Justice Duffy, in the JEFF rson
Market court, New York, on Monday, that
he had found his wife in disreputable house
on Blocker street, in that city, and that she
refused 10 see him when he called for her,
and instead 'sent a man down to lick him"
The woman said she had married Jackson in
Corning, y. v, after he had represented
himself as well-tO-do. After the marriage
Jackson did several dishonest acts, and she
would not live with him or trust him. She
agreed To return to Corning alone, and was
allowed to go. The justice said, "New York

A BumptiOus Secretary.

II is well that Chandler is 50 soon to
drop out of the secretaryship of the navy.
as there is no telling where he would not
get to in another year or two. Mr. Chand-
Ter is net very large man but he has high
appreciation Of himself and his Office
The secretary of the navy would amount
to something If Mr.. Chandler was TO con-
tinue to carve out his prerogatives. He
would be bigger man than any one
around about, the president included
Mr.. Chandler has Just furnished a
good illustration of his strong dis
position to aggrandize his office aud to
reduce TO vassalage the officers of the navy
over whom he rules, by his order that no
one of them shall communicate with Con-
gfess or any committee or member upon
any matter of legislation, save through the
navy department. Nor shall they appear
before committee of Congress, except by
permission Of the secretary. The naval
oficers had united in remonstrance IN
congress against the granting of n
vote OF thanks TO Schley and otber
commanders OF the Grely reliev-
ing ships, The effect Of such A vote
would have been to promote the officers
thanked. In these days, when promotion
Is so slow and lieutenants have a better
chance for eternity than captaincy, thew
IN nix that they should not be iumped ,v
officers selected for special duty by the sec.
retary OF the navy, even though they do
ther duty well. And their position is
reasonable. But whether they are right or
wrong the secretary of the navy has no
righ TO interfere with their communica-
tons with Congress, and that body should
take notice OF his attempt to Isolate il from

RABBITS in Australia and New Zealand

has been issued for their determination.
Years will be spent in the attempt 10 free

little result Were they dogs the task would
not be so monstrous. Out in ST. Clair county,
Illinois, Samuel McGregor, a sufferer in the
last stages of Bright's disease Of the kidneys,
was cured OF that malady by eating the flesh
of fifteen CANNES which he trapped from his
neighbors, who only by threats when the
mystery of the disappearance of their FidOs

for the diet became so intense that soon the

MARYLAND has law that debars coloICd
men from the practice OF law in the state
courts. 1t was tested in 1877 when Charles
Taylor, a colored man, who had been previ-
ously admitted to practice in all the courts of
Massachusetts, applied as a citizen Of Mary
land to be admitted to practice in the United
States courts of the state He carried the
case to the court of appeals where it was de-
cided against him, the court holding that the
privilege of practicing at the Maryland bar
was limited to white male citizens. The
court also held that the Limitation to the
privilege of admission as an attorney i'll the
courts of that state, under the act of lS76,
was not repugnant to the l4th amendment
to the constitution of the United States that
the privilege of admission to the Office of an
attorney was not a right or immunity be-
longing to the citizen within the meaning of
the 18th amendment, but was governed and
regulated by the legislature, who may pre-
scribe the qualifications required and desig-
nate the class of persons who may be ad-
mitted, and that the power of regulating the
state was one belonging to the state and not
to the federal government We are glad to
see that an effort is to be made To repeal tins
obnoxious law in our sister state. This relic of
the slavery days should stand not upon
the order of its going. but go at once.
