the democrats carried the Governor and

is fairly entitled to be so classed.
Virginia is classed in the republican
column with her II electoral votes. There
was no State ticket elected there this
year, and there was general break up in
the election Of congressman over the tariff
and internal revenue issues by which the
republicans have a majority of the dele

The Champion Sitter.
AN EDITOR WHO WILL NOT WEAR HIM.
SELF OUT WALKING.

We are ayerse to betraying secrets of
the editorial floor, but we feel compelled to
put before the public the "curlous languz-
age" and the more curious doings of Mr..
Wallace p. Reed, an esteemed member of
the Constitution staff.
Mr.. Reed says: eff you will sit down
and stay down you will live forever. 1t
is exercise: that wears man out. The
man who:sits is the man who lasts" Mr..
Reed has long practiced his newly declar-
ed philosophy. He has never been in the
kimball House. Only once in five years
has he been in the Union Depot. 1t is
six years since he saw Whitehall street
and fifteen since he saw McDoDOugh. He
has been to the theatre once in four years
and never to baseball.
His home, by the air line he takes, is
800 yards from the office. Twice day
he walks this. For five years he has not
averaged fifty yards a day extra walking.
One pair of shoes has lasted him three
years. Ii e carries an umbrella always and
never looks beyond its bending rim. One
day his umbrella was pushed aside rudely,
and looking out he saw half dozen ele.
plants and some camels crossing his path.
He carefully picked lis way through the
unexpected caravan and on reaching the
Office remarked that there must be circus
in town.
Here, then, is the man who sits. For
twelve hours every day lie sits at his desk;
four hours he sits at home. 1t takes
twelve minutes to walk 300 yards four
times each day. He sleeps seven and
half hours. His health is perfect. His
appetite is keen. his brain clear and his
capacity for work remarkable. He is never

The Century's Rise of Wages.

Discussing wages, in one of his lectures
before the students of Harvard UNIVERSE
ty, Professor Thompson gives many facts
of curious interest. In 1898 the Schuylkill
and Susquehanna Canal Company adver-
tised for Workmen, Offering SIS month
with board and lodging. The next year
there was debate in the House of Re
representatives. which brought out the facts
that soldiers got but So month. A Yer
mont member discussing the proposal to
raise it to 81, said that in his State men
were hired for Els year. or 81 a month
with board and clothing. Mr.. Wadsworth,
of Pennsylvania, said: I'm the States
north of Pennsylvania the wages of the
common laborer are not, upon the whole.
superior to those of the common soldier
In 1897 Rhode Island farmer hired good
farm hand at So month. and IS q month
was paid to those who got employment
for the eight busy months of the farmers
year. A strong boy could be had at that
time in Connecticut at 81 month through
those months, and he earned it by work.
ing from daybreak until s or O'Clock at
night. He could buy coarse co ton
shirt with the earnings of three such
months. The farmers could pay no better,
for the price they got for produce was
wretched. Butter sold at cents pound,
and when it rose suddenly to 10 cents,
several farmers wives and daughters went
out of their minds with excitement. Wo-
men picked the wool Off the bushes and
briars, where the sheep had left it, and
spun and knit it into mittens to earn ST. a
year by this toilsome business. They hired
out as help for Is cents a month and
their board. By days hard work at the
spinning wheel woman and girl together
could earn IL cents. AS late as 1921 the
best farm hands could be had for 25 cents
day or twice as much in moving time.
Mathew Carey, in his lettere on the char
tiles OF Philadelphia 1922, gives painful
picture of the working classes at that
time. Every avenue to employment was
cboked with applicants. Men left the ci-
to IS cents day, and to encounter the
malaria, which laid them low in numbers.
The highest wages paid to womsn were rs
cents a day, and even the women who
made clothes for the arsenal were paid by
the government at no higher rates; When
the ladies of the city begged for an i'm
provement of this rate, the Secretary
hesitated, lest it should disarrange the re-
lations of capital and labor throughout
the city. Poor people died of cold and
want every winter in the city and the fact
seems to have made an impression only on
benevolently- disposed persons like Mr..
Carey. -Scienti5c american,
