THE RETURN HOME.
How the Sister and Daughter Is Welcomed
in Some Families.

How the Sister and Daughter Is Welcomed
in Some Families.
Helen has been away on visit of
three weeks. Her friends have been
kind and attentive, and have made her
stay very pleasant; and yet she is glad
to be at home once more, interested and
pleased with the little changes about the
house, and delighted to be with her
family. In fact, she is so full of high
spirits that she can not keep still, and
rushes up to her sisters room, when she
does not find her with the others. Con-
stance kisses her, and hopes she is well.
80 yes! perfectly well,'' says Helen,
!, brightly. That's good thing, for
there's plenty of work waiting to be
done" returns her sister, land we are
pretty much tired out''-the tone SEEM
ing to imply that it is rather inconsider-
ate and selfish for Helen to feel well.
Now, the traveller is tired after her jour
ney, although in her delight she has for
gotten that, and she goes downstairs
somewhat subdued. However, she re-
covers speedily, and sitting in the dear
old cosy sitting-room, she pours out
quite long story of the sayings and do
iDgS of the past few weeks. All are
quiet, and seem to be listening, but
presently her mother remarks: Dear

LANCASTER. MARCH %, 1855.


It seldom happens TO man that he
makes 60 sudden and great an advance in
popular esteem and in admitted power as
Nr. Powderly has just made; and by very
simple means. He has stated q doctrine
ypon the relation Of employers and en-
ployed and the means Of keeping them in
harmony, which strikes the public judg-
ment a. just; and he has taken position,
ns director of the employed class, in which
he has been recognized by the employing
class. He stands as the accredited repre-
sentative of the laborers united in the or
ganization of the Knights Of Labor and
II he maintains himself in that position,
no more powerful man exists in
the country. That he will SO maiEtain him
self Is certain II the members of his order
propose to make it permanently effective.
The plan which he proposes is strikingly
simple, for it is only that there
shall be a union of laborers wisely
guided, SO that they shall secure that
steady employment which it is alike the
aim Of capital and labor to have. There
is no such assurance of peace as that which
is had between parties of equal strength.
We see it in nations, and in men, and in
all associations. Man is inclined to treat
other men justly when he knows that he
must do so for his own good. The aggre-
hands has made capital oppressive to the
people. A like aggregation of the op-
pressed people will relieve them, by secur-
ing proper respect for their power,
without compelling them to use it.
The exempli6cation of this is now
shiningly exhibited in the manner in
which Jay Gould and his associates have
met the grand master of the Knights of
Labor. They are satisfied that their inter
ests lie in cultivating his interference, as
the representative of their wOrkmen, to
secure restoration of amicable relations
between them. 10 all honest employers il
will be boon to have possibility Of re,
course 10 sensible and honest representa-.
tive Of their laborers, who will demand
nothing that they may not concede. The
great difficulty in dealing with labor gen.
orally is that it is not intelligently led /;
that it submits to what is real
wrong and rebels at what is not.
It is suspicious at all times, and un-
believing. 1t imposes and is imposed upon
in its ignorance. An organization of it
intelligently led, and guided by the sound
views of its proper function which Mr..
Powderly has declared, cannot but be a
benefit to the industrial interests of the
country. 1t will obtain for itself what
they can yield to it, and will concede what
must be conceded to enable manufactures
to flourish.

The Marriage License Law.


In this part Of the state it is not required
by the clerk of the orphans court that
both parties to proposed marriage shall
present themselves in person for license;
and there seems to be reasonable doubt
whether the law ever contemplated that
the presence Of the prospective bride was
required; while in some places, Philadel-
phia for instance, licenses are granted to
other parties than those proposing to con-
tract themselves, without requiring either
bride or groom to I've present. A law that
is so ambiguous should of course be cured
by amendatory legislation and in so impor-
tant matter as marriage, regarded SIM
ply as civil contract, it would I've well TO
establish uniform practice.
But good people who have been duly
joined in wedlock, by magistrate or minis
ter, need have no fear that their union will
be rendered invalid because the clerks OF
the courts vary in their construction of the
law. A marriage without any license is
not invalidated for this deficiency. a
preacher may be prosecuted, we believe
for solemnizing marriage without Ii.
cense but where such document |:
granted on due proof, no jury is likely tc
convict the priest or preacher because ont
court clerk says both parties must presen
themselves, another asks for only one ant
another still requires only the proof o
friends, parents or guardians.

A Stupid Proposition.

Nothing quite so ludicrous was ever Of
fered in the Senate as IIoar's proposal to
hold inquests under federal authority upon
all parties who might be alleged to have
been killed because of their color or their
politics. IL national interference in such
cases would be proper or tolerable, why
should Hoar stop with color and politics ?
Creed and nationality ssex and social con-
dition, wealth and rank are relations that
often incite passion and crime. If there
happen open massacre OF secret assassina-
ton in any community upon account of
any of these, why should not the United
States government take the same cogni-
zance of the crime as if it be ascribed to
the color or the politics of the victim /?
The question answers itself. The states
are TO regulate their own domestic con-
Germs and when they are incapable of
doing this our whole system of govern
ment will have TO be subverted. Until
then such propositions as Hoar's are too
ludicrous to be even impertinent.
