The number Of women earning their
own living, and often assisting 20 keep
the family, in London Is increasing
every day, says the Queen. Hundreds
are employed in the postoflice. in some

and boOkkeeperS, in tracing engineers
plans, in typewriting, in telephone work.
and cigarette-making all employments
Of comparatively recent date, for it is
not SO many years since the trial of
female clerks in the clearinghouse OF
the postoffice was thought o wonderful
innovation. and one which many wise
heads predicted much evil of. There
are. besides, of course, the very large
number of working-women in the more
ordinary sense-thc dressmakers, mill
liners, and shop assistants. Among the
latter, perhaps. it is true that we know
little of how they live. One thing that
Is not half enough known about them,
and that is the large number of girls
and women employed in London at a
rate of payment which is quite made
quate for them to live upon. however
careful they may be. They are gem
orally machinists or dressmakers. or
milliners, assistants, sometimes attend
ants in second-rate shops. II is COM
mon thing for these women to be paid
shillings (S2) q week, or less-they
think themselves well off when they
earn shillings (S2.25)--and the work
is not constant; because when times are
bad. or the slack season sets in, they are
turned of. They will go day after day
to some of the shops where their work

on the chance of an odd hand being
wanted. If these earnings areonly
part of the households means it IS
well enough; the girls work pays the
rest If it does not always keep her, and
she is not without food or shelter during
the time the work fails. But tits wholly
differeist with the young woman who
has no home but that she pays for. If
I she is quiet and respectable she gem
orally lodges with some fellow-worker
older than herself who has furniture.
She pays shillings or ? shillings and 6
pence week for a bed in the same
room, and for her share of firing and
light. She buys her own food and
cooks it herself. Six shillings for seven
days is not very much. everyone will
allow; but when we know that the re-
cipient is expected to dress well--that is,
respectfully and find herself in boots;
that in going out in all weather her
clothes wear out more quickly, no one
need be surprised that wages alone can
not keep and dress her.
It is not by any means, however,
among this class Of women only that
there are workers struggling hard to
keep their heads above water. II is no
exaggeration to say that in London there
are hundreds of gently bred and cul-
tured women living actually alone, GO
ing forth to their daily work and return
ing to their lodgings in the evening.
with perhaps n stinted fire and bad
light. Many of these are quite young,
and, to their credit be it spoken. they
live as blameless lives, though cut off
from all supervision, as their carefully
guarded sisters whose parents surround
them with every possible protection.
and would fain have them ignorant that
evil exists.

The Best Partisan.


He serves his party best who
serves his country BEST" is a political
axiom that can never be controverted.
1t should be the aim of every good
citizen to place the standard of the
party with which he affiliates on the
highest possible gronnd. When per
sonal interests are made subservient
to the general good; when there are
no privileged classes who imagine
that they must be provided with fat
offices at all hazards, who regard
parties merely as vehicles upon which
to ride into power; when the control
ling voice is that which naturally
comes from the heart of every good
citizen, clamoring for clean, pure men
in high places, then Will the party be
something to excite envy and admira-
ton instead of being part of the
filthy pool which respectable peo-
pie have hesitated to enter. In our
own territory, especially, these mat
ters should receive constant and
careful attention. We are Just ready
to merge into statehood An i'm
portant cara in our history is all but
reached. Let us see to it that We
cross the rubicon with clean hands
and clean skirts. We must be
watchful if we would maintain con-
dition of self respect. The republi-
can party has pursued policy of
liberality toward the Northern Pa
citic railroad company, in recogni-
ton of the public benefit being
wrought by that corporation. While
that liberal policy should be contin-
ued as far as consistent with the
rights of the people, yet any and
every attempt on the part of the
company to dominate politics, to ''set
mp" or control conventions, to in
terfere with the free course of the
law-making power, or to invade any
of the public affairs that belong legit-
imately and solely to the people,
should be resented at once. Never
let it be said that such disgraceful
scenes as were enacted about the
territorial capital during the last
Legislative session have been repeat
ed That legislature will go down to
history as the most profigate and
wasteful one we ever had. 1t ap-
propriated money recklessly foI
large institutions that never should
have been permanently established
till the commonwealth should settle
down under a state government. II
is getting to be a national disgrace
that Legislatures are organized and
run on system of jobbery. Let oul
next Territorial conventions be com
posed of men who have the interests
of the people only at heart, and let
them formulate just and reasonable
platforms and nominate none but
tried and true men.

actions may represent, this man jeff
Davis, who talks about liberty, repre-
sents only human slavery, degrade
ton of labor, treason of secession and
rebellion, the horrors and infamies of
Libby and Andersonville-all in short
that is most malicious, vicious and
damnable in American history. To
talk OF him as an illustrious states
man who is to be honored with Wash
ington in history, is to insult every
sentiment of loyalty and decency in
this great country, which he wickedly
did SO much to de7troy"
Senator Sherman said that he was
sutting out of the newspapers the
speeches of jeff. Davis and descrip-
tions of the demonstrations in the
South over him and putting them
where they would be handy for use
in the next campaign. AS FOR Davis" !"
said Sherman, she is a monumental
fool-a vain and disappointed old
man, posing as martyr, grieving
over his failure and appealing for
sympathy. What he says is of no
particular consequence, but the signi
ticant part of it all lies in the manner
in which his words are received by
the people"
Democratic congressman are swear
ing at Davis and his menagerie There
have been number of kilograms of
remonstrance sent to Gen. Gordon
and he has be0n begged to suppress
Davis, or at least to steer him off up
on some other topics than those he
has been discussing.

Presidential Sentiment. .

1t Is idle to indulge in much spec
ulation at this carly day concerning
presidential candidates for 1888. 1t
may however, be Of interest to many
to know the general drift of public
sentiment in this respect. It is very
evident that Blaine is daily increasing
in strength as q candidate, and the
denomination of Blame and Logan is
quite probable. 1t would prove a
winning ticket But their nomina-
tIen Is not necessary; the republican
party does not lack for presidential
timber. A splendid ticket, and one
not infrequently mentioned in the
east would be Evarts, of New York,
and ex Governor Porter, of Indiana.
There is no man more popular in all
HoOsierdom than the latter. and with
him on the ticket Indiana republi-
cans would have no doubts about
the results in their own state. In
diana Is doubtful state and every
possible effort will be made by both
parties to carry it.
John Sherman still retains his
hold on the people as a strong man
for first place, and Senator Harrison
who at the very beginning of his torn
took high rank in the Senate, and
whose able management of the Dako
ia admission bill has recently brought
him into more special prominence, is
not infrequently mentioned. Had
there been deadlock on Blaine and
Arthur in the convention of 1884 it
is highly probable that the forces of
the former would have been turned to
Harrison.
But in 1888 it may be as it was in
1884, there may be such q spontan-
eous enthusiasm for the man from
Maine that his nomination will be
the onl y one that will satisfy the
masses Of the party.

With Our Exchanges.

1t is said that Chicago will suffer this
yesF to the amount OF at least 10000, 900
through the perplexities to builders, con-
tractors and investors arising from the
strikes, demand for the eight-hour
system, etc.
Governor A. P. Swineford, of Alaska,
is in Washington where he expects to be
confirmed in his office, and also to be
married He avows an. intention to
return to Alaska and make it his home,
whether confirmed or not.
John L. Hayden, cadet at West Point
Military Academy from Washington Ter
ritory, has passed such excellent exami-
nations during the year about closing,
that he has won furlough and will soon
be home to visit relatives and friends in
Olympia and on the Sound.
Late advices state that the damage
done to the Canadian railway in the
mountain region was much more extern
sive last winter than reported. Several
miles of track were carried away, some
bridges destroyed, and the damage can
not be repaired before August.
The total amount of lumber shipped
by the Tacoma Mill company from the
old town wharf during the month OF
April, is as follows: Five million feet OF
lumber, and 100000 fee. OF laths and
pickets. This is the largest export from
Tacoma yet reported in one month.
Washington special: 1t can be stated
positively that Secretary Mannings
resignation is now in the hands OF the
president. The president has several
names before him in connection with
this position, but has as yet reached no
decision in relation to any of them. The
general impression here is that the next
secretary of the treasury will hail from
New York.
The senate judiciary committee will
probably report against confirming John
Goode as solicitor-general. Ii is said,
however, that Goode claims enough
republican votes to secure his confirma-
tion. Even if rejected he expects to be
retained in Office the same as Pillsbury
aud Chase, who were rejected by the
senate, but who are filling their Offices in
defiance of law. The president has so
lar refused to make other nominations
for these places.

The Boycott.

From the general condemnation
heaped upon boycotting by the press
throughout the land. it can readily
be seen that as method of redress
ing grievances it IS wholly un-Amer-
lean, and cannot be approved by q
free people. 1t is a barbarous Gus
tom, arising out of governmental op
preston and tyranny unbearable-
such oppression as never has been
known and never can be known in
free America. General Butler says
of the boycott:
1T is utterly unjustifable, and
should not be adopted by laboring
men-especially because it is the
weapon of capital, used by capital
from time beyond memory. That is
to say, whoever in all the worlds
history has stood forth as an advocate
OF the rights of labor, whether in the
forum as politician, in the legisla-
tive hall as statesman, in the courts
q lawyer, or in the press as journal
ist, has always been boycotted by
capitalists. Now when laborers, by
legal means and org anization, through
the ballot-box can control capital and
make laws as the laborer pleases, why
resort to partial, illegal and always
unjust remedy such as boycotting,
which is the miserable invention OF
an oppressed people who have no
power to raise their voice in making
the laws which govern them? Boy
cotting is confession of weakness
not an exhibition of strength. 1t
cannot be dropped too soon. It is a
two-edgeds word, more dangerous in
the hands of unskillful wielders, to
themselves than to Others"

E. G, Wheeler, who organized q

on this upper Sound country offering
good opportunities to Baptists are this

Turn the RasUals Out"

Ever since the present democratic
administration came into power there
has been q ''still hunt" for rascals.
From the highest democratic author
ley there came assurance that "the
woods were full of 'em." 4 great
many have been discovered, but
strange te say they are all democrat
ic rascals who have crept into power
hanging to the skirts of Cleveland's
administration, and who, clothed in
a little brief authority" have used it
only to expose themselves. Among
the latest addition to the menageris
is distinguished specimen of politi-,
cal fauna from California, known as
Gen. Rosecrans. He was the man
who took occasion as a member of
Congress to assail Grant in vituper-
ative style when that grand old hero
was lying helpless ON his death bed.
He it was who was appropriately car
tooned as brave jackass kicking a
dead lion. A Washington telegram
of the I'd inst. says:
The charge against Rosecrans is
that he was engaged in some fraudu-
lent land speculation in Los Angeles
county about twenty years ago. The
facts OF the case are as follows: In
1866 Rosecrans had George Hansen,
deputy U. 5. surveyor, survey Mex.
ican grant, the rancho San Salredon-
do, in Los Angeles county. The
owners of the grant were not repre-
sentsd at the survey, and protested
against it. The survey of Hansen
made the grant smaller than tho own
ers claimed it was, and Rosecrans had
number of dummies take up the
land that had been thrown into the
public domain by changing the
boundaries of the grant through the
survey, The findings of the court of
Los Angeles in the case were that the
dummies that had taken up the land
had assigned their claims; that the
Rosecrans-H Hansen survey was set
aside by the secretary of the interior
IN 1868, and new survey ordered =;
that the second survey run lines that
included all the land claimed by
Rosecrans within the Mexican grant.
This second survey was set aside in
1861, and Hansen's survey was set
aside in 1871. and Hansen's survey re-
established. Some persons vino had
squatted on the land bought by tho
dummies We're ordered to remove. and
they set up claims that Rosecran's
title was obtained fraudulently. The
case was carried to the Z. s. supreme
court, and Senator Edmunds was en-
gagged by the settlers. He made an
argument on the fraudulent character
of the title held by Rosecrans, but
the court held that the settlers We're
not proper parties to bring action
against Rosecrans to vacate his title;
that the United States government
should do that. The court, without
passing on the fact whether the land
mad been fraudulently obtained. dis
missed the suit of the settlers.
Edmunds remembered the facts of
the case, and brought them to the al
tention of Merrill. chairman of the
committee on finance when Rosecrans
nomination was sent TO the senate.
1t was that that hung up Rosecrans
nomination, and will probably defeat
him.
