The theater managers of Chicago announce
somewhat oStentatiously tine abolition of the
system OF free passes tor the press, so long in
vogue IN that city. This is a good sign, and 1t
Is To be hoped that the Chicago example will! be
followed elsewhere. OF all things in the world
there is nothing that occupies newspaper space
30 greatly out OF proportion to their Importance
or the interest the public actually takes in them
as theaters. plays and actors and anything that
will tend to lessen the present perennial flow of
free advertising slush in regard to them is to be
commended 1t is possible, by the way, that
the Chicago managers are sitting on the end of
the branch they are saving Oft; but that is their
lookout.

Governor Ireland, whose fiery zeal seems to
outrun his discretion, says:
"lt may be conceded, if necessary. that Cut
ting has been legally convicted under Mexican
law. but the people and government of the
United States can never submit To such a rule

Governor Ireiand's views of international law
may be all right for Texas,-for the present; but
we are of the impression that the better class of
publicists will hold that II the United States
does not like the laws of Mexico the thing to do
is not to go TO war about them, but to point out
their injustice and endeavorb by peacable means
10 secure their repeal. If war should be de-
clared on Governor lrelands basis it probably
would not be very long until other other
foreign powers than Mexico would be taking a
hand in il.

The Emperor of Germany and the President
OF the New York Central railway-two auto
crats of about equal power-met yesterday at
Salzburg, embraced, and exchanged civilities
and compliments. The Emperor expressed his
profound admiration for America, and Mr.
Depew said that the Germans in this country
for the Emperor. All tine same, they do not;
neither does the Germanic government pro-
foundly admire this country. The Salzburg
dialogue was Ovcrcharged with what the unre-
generate call "taffy.' Actions speak louder
than words; and so long as Germany maintains
her present attitude of commercial hostility and
jealousy toward the United States, and German
citizens flee to this land because their old
homes are made intolor..ble to them by reason
Of despotie oppression and hopeless impover-
ishment, it matters little how or when the En-
peror and the railway king hold sweet converse
together.

SHOP GIRLS AND SEATS.

The campaign against employers who
refuse shop girls seats in the stores has been
opened anew 1t attracted much attention
a few years ago at the East, and enlisted
the sympathies of most humanitarians
Now that it is renewed, all the old battle
is being fought over again. In New York
it is the law of the State that, it shall
be the duty of all employers of females in
any mercantile or manufacturing business
or occupation to provide and maintain suit
able seats for the use of such female en-
ployes, and to permit the use of such seats
by such employees to such an extent as
may be reasonable for the preservation of
their health" and violation of the law is
made misdemeanor. The effort is now
being made to engraft the provision upon
the statute law of other States-Ohio,
Pennsylvania and one or two more, and
hence the renewed agitation. Physicians
assert that the law is in the interest of the
public health, in the sense that the better
all women are physically, the better the
community. For, hour after hour upon the
feet on hard floor, with no change to a
sitting posture, will break down weak
women and superinduce complaints that
are lifelong, and these ills will be per-
petuated in the race. There is another
side, however, to the question, but it is
the coldly commercial one, and has no
more feeling in it than quicl1ens a turnip.
The employers who resist the bit of pater-
nalism exemplifed in the law, say that
seats related to counters mean loss of time
and money to the business; that no one
can gauge the time of rest to be allowed;
that business is hindered by their use, fer
that the seats behind counters are simply
nuisances, preventing rapidity of move
ment and therefore delaying business FL
nally, they reply, if women who take
places in shops are unequal to the
filling of male clerks places, let them
retire. But evidently the shop-girls and
their friends have the best of the argu-
ment. Thus, in one response, they point
out that hinged seats to fold out of the way
are easy of adjustment to counters; that
foor-walkers can easily prevent loafng,"
and finally that rest better qualities for
the weary saleswomen are neconomic
employees for any establishment The local
interest is found in the fact that the move
ment among the shop-girls is rumored to
take the form of bills in their interest be-
fore our own Legislature and among those
of other States of the Union.

IT SHOULD CoNYrNCE.

The San Francisco Call of the 10Th, in
speaking of the lessons of The late Citrus
Fair at Sacramento, says that one reflec-
ton in that connection is very pleasing
one:
1t is, that in the range and variety of the ex-
hibits of temperate, semitropical and tropical
products taken-at least, all ofthe fruit and nuts
from trees growing and bearing, unprotected
and unsheltered in the open air in the middle
of December-the dead Of the Eastern winter
gathered from mountain side, from foothill and
from valley in a stretch of country extending
north and south for 400 miles. the highest point
being about the latitude of New York City a
latitude which anywhere else is marked at this
season of the year by snow andice, cold weather
and trees barren OF leaves, 10 say nothing of any
kind or deSer ptiOn of fruit-we say that in these
respects, If IN no others. this State of California
Is mstehless, cannot be rivaled by any State in
the Union OF any country on the earth. This
statement is fully justified when one pauses to
consider that the following products were eX-
hibited at the fair Oranges, lemons lines
olives, dates, figs persimmons strawberries
prunes, pomegTanates, ounces, grapes, apples,
pears, almonds, hcorice root, walnuts chest
nuts cotton, tobacco, raisins; dried apples,
pears, peaches, plums, nectarines apricots and
blaekoerriesi olive oil, wine, brandy and
SO on.
The reflection will be more than
pleasing one when the fact shall take hold
upon the Eastern mind that there is not
of necessity to be associated with the
word northern" the rigor of the
Arctic or the chill of the frozen regions
Of the East That is, California will
be very much advanced when we have
succeeded in educating the public mind
abroad up to the fact that isothermal lines
SO flow as to give to the whole section
described in California as northern the
climate of the regions indicated as semi
tropical by lines of latitude. The Citrus
Fair of Northern California at Chicago on
Christmas day ought to convince the people
of the East so thoroughly that we shall
have no more O. misapprehension on their
part relative to the climatology of the
central andhorthern sections of California

THE desire of the German Chancellor
to arm the empire anew has been defeated,
in good part by the report of the COM
mittee of the German Parliament to
which the proposition of the Minister of
War was submitted. The committee do
not wholly refuse the advice of the Gov
ernment, but cut down its army estimates
very materially, and fix the numerical
standard of the army at figure below
Bismarck's. The committee yields so far
as to consent to thirty new regiments, but
the War Department asked for fifty. The
rebuke is not one of severity, for it is not
yet Endorsed by the Reichstag, but still is
a refusal and Bismarck will construe it as
nothing less. But that he will attain the
end at which he aims can scarcely be
doubted. There is more reason now than
ever to expect him to bring upon the en-
pire the menace of war, and under that
spur the legislative body will respond to
his demand, or, refusing, will go to the wall
by dissolution, and before the people with
the threat of France putting her armor on,
the King-maker will meet little difficulty
In upsetting the Liberals.
