The Chinese Minister Chang Yen woou,
Tho workingwoman's Friend,

EDITOR CRITIC: WIN you give space in
your columns to the workingwomen to re.
turn thanks to Mr.. +. NJ. Fogg, as the only
speaker who touched upon their just cause
at the mass-meeting held at the Rifles
Armory Monday evening As a little leaven
leayeneth the Whole lump, so may his few
words fall into the hearts of the working
men; and even as the grain Of mustard seed
cast into the garden waxed into great
tree, SO may they set our strong, earnest
men to thinking and bring forth the fruit
Of their help for the wurkingwomen that
may stand side by side by their wives, sis
tiers and daughters In the struggle they are
having for bread, and demand for us work
and living wages. We do not have the
ballot, and cannot now control the
votes of men, but we do have
the making of the future voters, and
every true mother will instill into the
hearts Of their boys defense for homes and
happiness Of women. When labor Of any
description that woman mentally or physi-
cally can do is given to her with living
wages and the hearty sanction OF true men
is given with it, then there will be few
ruined homes and broken hearts that are
made so by the curse Of poverty and cruel
men that give women but one way to live
and then condemn and cast all the blame on
them. May all the men of valor who are
the friends of temperance and virtue awake
to the danger that threatens their loved
ones. f. L.

THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The Herald this morning wants to know
who corrupted the aldermen of that CITY,
"Where did the money come fromS Can 1t be
that where nearly four hundred thousand
dollars have been corruptly paid out to a
score of aldermen no evidence Is obtainable
against more than one Of the halY dozen
charged with buying the aldermen"
The World says of the River and Harbor bill
that 'it may be styled the great leveller, for a
statesman that has three-foot creek In his
district gets the same courtesy as the Repre-
sentative who represents a hundred miles of
seaboard" How Mr.. Cleveland's bosom
swelled with pride, 1t says, as he saw the gal
liant Seventh file by "and felt that there
wasn't a man in the crowd who had visited
Washington to secure an Office
The Tribune says the great trouble with the
River and Harbor bill is that 1t is sectional,
when it ought 70 be National. "It is made up
on a plan of dividing the public money
among the different States without any par
ticular regard to the merits of the waterways
TO be improved
The star remarks nterrogatively: "Now
that we are hearing so much about conspira-
cies Of workingmen to secure an increase of
wages, why not have little wholesome
talk about conspirdcies of capitalists 10 raise
the price of coal to crush out poor rivals In
business;tO advance the rates Of freight; to
do q thousand things that add to the burdens
OF lifeS'
The Sun congratulates Mr.. Hewitt on tho
wisdom and success with which his bill for
administrative reform in the customs service
has been framed aud trusts that no obstacle
will prevent It's passage
The Times in series of uggestlons TO the
new Civil Service Commission recommends
that representative citizens be invited TO at
tend its examinations. "A little time spent
In securing the attention of intelligent persons
who might in Ignorance be opposed to the
system, or who may have hostile preiudlces
regarding IT, would be well expended"

"Protcction or Free Trade ~

BY the courtesy OF Mr.. Robert Beall,
bookseller, 495 Pennsylvania avenue, THE
CRITIC is in receipt Of an advance copy of
Mr.. Henry Georges great work, entitled
"rrotectlon or Free Trade: an Examlna-
tion Of the Tariff Question, with especial
regard to the Interests Of Labor,n which
has just been published by the Henry
George Publishing Company Orders for
the book may be left with Mr.. Beall, and It
will probably be received in full supply the
latter part OF the week. In this work the
distinguished author, who has given the
subject under discussion many years of
careful study, has endeavored TO determine
whether protection or free trade better ac-
cords with the interests of labor, and to
bring to n common conclusion on this sub
ject those who really desire to keep up q
high standard Of wages. lie is under the
. sincere conviction that he has here stripped
the vexed tariff question OF its greatest
difficulties, and cleared the way for the set
tlement Of a dispute which otherwise might
90 ON intermiually. There will doubtless
be great demand for MIR. Georges views.

Authorization I'm Praver.

The modern rage for abbreviations, es-
pecially in the names OF societies, was strlk-
ingly exemplihed the other day at certain
women's prayer meeting. One OF the sis
ters, who is very much interested In the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, the
Woman's Home Missionary Society aud the
Woman's Educational and Industrial Union,
prayed fervently, with charming certainty
that she would be understood

propositions, notably that Of Mr. Town
shcnd of Illinois, but so much apprehen-
sion has been affected in certain quar-
ters about the matter lest II might lead
to serious disturbance Of our lovely
tariff system that tho Foreign Affairs
Committee has wisely presented the
question in its simplest and least ter
rifying form. The bill contemplates
no raid upon the tariff, 1t does not
even outline or suggest customs
revenue policy. All that it does do is
to authorize the President to invite the
several governments of the re-
publlcs of Mexico, Central and
South America and the empire of
Brazil to join the United States in
q conference to be held at Washington
for the purpose of discussing and
recommending some plan Of arbitra-
tion for international dlsagreements
and considering methods by which the
business intercourse between these
countries may be improved and their
reciprocal relations encouraged. This
is certainly sensible and practical
movement. Especially is 1t to be de.
sired in view Of the great celebration
of 1899, in which the entire Western
Hemisphere is expected to join as one
friendly brotherhood Of States.

Capital is the hire archy OF this country.
In the years past when Judge Kincaid
was on the bench in Lawrenceburg, KY, a
man was brought before him for fast riding
In the town. The prisoner had been fox
hunting, aud with his horn In full tune he
had seriously disturbed the serenity of the
place by going full tilt along the quiet
streets. One of the principal witnesses was
a sort Of left-handcd colonel, and u
pompous man of large loafng instincts.
After the preliminary questions had been
put, the attorney said:
"Well, Colonel Culpcpper, what do you
know about the casc?'
~ know everything, sah,' he replied
"Will you state to the court what you
knowY'
"Certainly. On the day In question
were a setting In front OF the grocery n
whiting of a stick, when the defendant
rid up on a dapple-sray cretur, wearing
of a overcoat, an hit hot weather. He
were blowing.of fox-horn, an ! ast him
If the cretur he were ridin' were a
Tidgling or gildin', an he flowed it were,
an rid on"
The witness hadn't any more to say, and
the Judge didn't insist upon details.
Some wives are the subjects of their
husbands, and rice versa.
Yet Solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed in pair Of spring pants with crease
down the legs. All, there, SOL, old boy,

which know corkscrew from postage
stamp.
Had 1t occurred TO you that the band ac-
companying the Seventh Regiment was a
Cappa-tal one?
"Look here, daughter" said Mrs. Par
venu to her eldest, "Pm not going to have

IT WOULD SEEM to be settled that
Baltimore can really claim the honor
of having owned the schooner that
knocked whole section Of daylight
into the Oregon. Shipping mon agree
that IL was the Charles II. Morse,
owned in Baltimore, that did for the
Oregon. She is the only vessel not
heard from of affect Of seventy schoon-
ers which sailed from Hampton Roads
on the nth of March, and every other
craft likely 70 have been near the
scene Of the collision has been ac.
counted for. The Morse was q 53J
ton vessel, heavily loaded with coal,
and thoroughly competent TO knock n
hole in almost anything. 1t was a
schooner from Baltimore that
plunged the Tallapoosa to the bottom.
Baltimore is proud.

WHETHER there was or was not any
discourtesy shown to- the Chinese En-
bassy upon its arrival in San Francisco
depends good deal upon the stand
point from which you look atit We
dislike to think of Collector Hager as
anything but what the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce goes somewhat
out of its way to say he is-"a bold,
able, upright, fearless and efficient
oilicer''-but in spite of all these ad-
icctives, there seems to be we'll
founded impression that on the occa-
sion in question, he did not develop
the virtue of common courtesy in very
exuberant proportions. To have been
truly polite he should have ordered the
embassy to be thrown overheard.

duccd in Parliament that no matter
whether it became law or not, step
had been taken which could not be re-
traced. 1t gave to home rule an i'm
portance and recognition, the effect of
which can never be effaced. That Mr..
Gladstone and his followers recognize
these facts and intend to make use Of
them is shown by the speech made by
Mr.. Herbert Gladstone. That gentle.
man said that the Government would
hold to its present Irish policy and
would secure victory whether it re-
quiied six months or six years. In
