lowed only in certain cases, and women,
when employed, earn from one mark to
one mark and quarter (say twenty
four to thirty cents) per day.
The working hours are from to 6 in
summer and to Z in winter; one hour
is allowed for dinner, half an hoar in
the morning for breakfast, and half an
hour in the afternoon for coffee.
On sundays work is suspended except
when urgent repairs are required Lat
terly the system of paying laborers 10y
piece work has been generally adopted.
and the wages thus earned are on a
scale already referred to. TO provide
for sickness and accident, as required
by law, the workman is obliged to con-
tribute to a saving fund out of his
earnings.
Rent runs from twelve to eighteen
marks (say from S2S5 to <4.3O) per
month. and meals cost about "A cents Il
day. The meals of a workingman con-

1t is very rare that workingman is

Latteriv cooperative stores have
been established almost everywhere
Their bencticence is cu,tailel by the
evil of the credit system. There are
other organizations whose special object
is to help wOrkingmen. The govern
ment has taken measures recently to
better house its working class popula-
ton. In Berlin and other large cities
kitchens have been started to supply
food that will combine quality with
cleapness.

why Nations Decay.
Atlanta constitution.

4AtItlIi CONSTITUTIONS.
"God made the country; man made
the town.
There is Il world of truth IN this pop
ular saying. Whenever the city con
trolls the county, brings it down to its
level of corruption, and thoroughly
dominates il, then both decay together.
When the eliminating point is
reached of luxury and cffeminacy on
the one hand of crushing poverty on the
other the end is not far off.
The cities bring together these two
extremes. Still there is room for prog
ress and prosperity so long as the cities
are constantly reinforced from the
country with new blood, new brains.
new morality.
In London a family runs out in -four
generations unless it intermarries with
country people. We are coming to that
here. With few exceptions the men
who achieve the greatest success in our
cities come from the country.
Our great danger is that in this rapid
age the country is picking up all the
features Of city life The only remedy
is to remodel our cities as far as possi-
bic. In future it is to be hoped that no
more compact towns and cities will be
built. We have seen that Il crowded
population without plenty of pure water
and fresh air is always cursed with d
low grade OF health and of morality
One remedy is to build orr cities with
wide streets, numerous parks, fountains
and shade trees, and with yard at
tached to each dwelling. This will re-
quire space, but it this bouDdless con-
tnent can not afford it, then it is time
to wind up business. The idea is to
combine as mnch of the country with
the city as possible.
1t has been said that Paris is France.
We do not want the time to come when
it shall be said in this country that
New York is America, or that Chicago
is the West, or that Atlanta is the South.
We want the country pure and simple
to remain distinct from the cities, not
subject to them, but from time to time
repIenishing them with new strength.
We can not avoid the evil of great
cities, but we must see to it that they
do not become blisters, fostering sores
on the body polite. Here is a problem
for statesmen.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

ReDeaI OF the civil Service Law.
WASHINGTON, March 24.--The mi.
nority report OF Representative G en-
ents of Georgia upon Mr.. Seney's bill
TO repeal the civil service law takes
the ground that the "grave abuses that
grew up under Republican misrule do
net demand or Justify the new and
radical departure in principle EN-
bodied in the civil service law. Any
attempt to limit the Presidents power
of appointment or removal is not a
valid law, and can only operate
through executive acquiescence. The
act places the power of appointment
in the hands Of commissioners sup
posed to be nen-partisany who apply
hair-splitting tests unnecessary to the
practical Ascerta;nment of the fitness
of applicants The most serious OBJ
lection to il isthat shown howard a
permanent ofiCe-holding community
utterly at variance with American
spirit. In conclusion, the report at
tacks the present system ct distribu-
tiOn of appointments to States, and
declares il we are to have a permanent
official community it should be organ
lied on better basis, but the most
direct way for reform would be
through a repeal of the law.

JUDGE Mcdowell, who for eight
years past has been Chancellor of this
county, has in a card which we pub
lish elsewhere declared himself no
longer candidate for reelection.
This will not be agreeable news to the
troops of friends in and out Of the
profession, who were ready to sup
port him and urge his claims
before the people. They were conf
dent of his success, and will be disap-
pointed to learn of declaration that
is final and irrevocable. Judge
Mcdowell has met the demands of
the public with tireless industry, and
has kept pace with the bar, and on
that score had right to expect and,
doubtless, would have received the
support OF a majority of the members
OF the Democratic party. He was pains
taking land earnest in tho performance
of his duties, and has made an i'm
preston that will not soon be effaced.
In returning again to the practice of
law the judge will'be followed by the
good wishes of his host of friends in
and out of the profession. He has
earned the esteem OF the public, and
deserves well of his fellow-citizens.

told of Capt. Howgate's embezzle-

the Signal S rviee had tried in every
way in its power to secure his arrest.
Gen. Hazen submitted a long docu-

in eve y case mentioned the spirit of
the law had been carried ont. lie de-
clared the various allegations OF ir-
reg larity and unauthorized expendi-
ture OF public mon y by the Signal
Service 10 be untrue, and maintained
that the expenditures were proper

it is a personal prejudice from Gen,

kept up by those who have always
been hostile to him, and aided by
those whom he has discharged as un.
worthy the service.
