November Marriages i'm Holland.


Of the twelve months in the year Novem-
Der is reckoned in certain villages in Hol-
land to be by far the most important. The
four Sundays of this month are known re-
spectively as Review Sunday, Decision
Sunday. Purchase Sunday. and Possession
Sunday, names which sufficiently explain
the purposes to which each is put by the
young people. Review Sunday the unmar-
ried girls and young men after the morning
service walk up and down staring at one
another to their hearts content. Having
made up their minds whom 10 select, the fol-
lowing Sunday the youths with the politest
bows imaginable salute the fair ones. and
judge from the way in which their courtesy
is responded to whether success or defeat is
to be their lot The third Sunday is de
voted to the less romantic task of obtaining
the consent Of the parents and arranging in
business-like fashion the details of the mar
rage settlement. The stern hearts of those
in authority having been satisfactorily SUBJ
dued. all the following week the parson is
busy at marrying but not until Possession
Sunday comes round are the happy be-
trothed permitted more than an affectionate
gaze, or, at most, a tender squeeze of the
hand

phass, at any rate in England, at the pres
ent day. To say that Englishnien are los.
ing or are ever likely, so long as they retain
their empire, to lose their interest in
politics would be absurd. They could
not afford to do so if they would. 1t
is, however, beyond dispute that the actual
machinery of politics and its working are
regarded by an increasing number of cult
waited and reflective Englishmen with
growing repugnance. To mingled in the
political conflict is yearly becoming less
and less of pleasure to them and more
and more of a distasteful duty from which.
however conscientiously they may perform
it, they are glad to escape to other inter-
ests and worthier occupations. And this,
of all others. is the moment that women,
whose mission it was once deemed to be to
purify the air of society and to elevate the
lives of men, must needs choose for
descending to the noisome region of party
strife.

Women in Politics.

The London Telegraph thinks women are
making far too frequent and prominent ap-
pearances in the arena of active political
conflict. If women may claim to know
what they are most fit for, men have an
equal right to say what they like best; and
whatever has been said by men in past
times against political women would be re-
peated by most of them with ten-fold en-

and so silently assuage the rampant spirit
of reform.

Ohio always has hand in all the political
fuses. The rockbottem opinion in New
York is that nobody is nearer the next Re-
publican nomination for the presidency than
John Sherman. He can win unless there
shall be some serious mistake in his cam
paign. Gov. Foraker was for some time in
training to 60 on the ticket as candidate for
vice president with Blaine but Foraker's
turned out to be such a puny politician,
that those acquainted with Ohio politics are
inclined to smile when his name is men
toned. The whole coun ny will be laugh
ing at him soon. if he proves to be of
enough consequence to be noticed at all.
Foraker has just enough prominence to
make his decadence mild help to Sher-
man.

POWDERLY TO GOULD.

To all outward appearance the
great strike seems to be a thing OF
the past; all the railways that were
involved IN 1t have resumed bust,
ness. To those on the outside it
looks as though the striking
Knights of Labor have been de-
feated. The managers of the Mis-
sour Pacific lines have not,recogniz-
ed the Knights as an organization
and If they can continue to operrte
their lines as they are now dong
they have no occasion TO recognize
the order. The Knights forced the
issue and have, so far, lost. Mr..
PowderIy, the G. NJ. W. of the or
der has written an open letter to
Jay Gould IN which he endeavors
to convince him that he alone is
responsible for the strike and that
he can speedily and permanently
settle it by arbitration. Mr.. Gould
did not reply and the letter has
been gwen to the public, which
will form its own opinion. Mr..
Powderly says to Mr.. Gould that
he has not come by his immense
wealth honestly, and informs him
that the Knights of Labor, as q
body comprising 100000 members,
will proceed by law to investigate
the methods by which he acquired
the money. Mr.. Powderly advises
MIR. Gould to institute suit against
every member of the Knights
of Labor to recover DANA
ges incurred by the strike.
1t does not appear that Gould ask
ed Powderly for advice. In this
letter Mr.. Powderly appears to be
strictly law-abIding and he repeat
eddy assures Mr.. Gould that all
proceedings against him shall be
strictly within the pale of the law.
MIR. Powderly's letter is full of
generalitles and special pleadings,
and amounts simply to this: Mr..
Gould has more wealth than he
came by legltImately that he has
refused to recognize the Knights
OF Labor as an organization, and
that the Knights of Labor, as an
organizations, now propose to
make their power felt by Mr..
Gould through the courts of tho
country. Tho BANNER has no e.
peclal love for Mr.. Gould and does
not propose to champion his cause
and is pleased to know from so
high an authority as Mr., Powderly
that no more violence is to be re-
sorted to; enc fact however re-
mains: The courts of the country
have never been closed and it might
have been well to have resorted to
them before inauguratlng the
strike.

GOULD TO POWDERLY

Mr.. Gould lost no time in reply
ing to Mr.. wderly's manifesto,
receiving the missive at II o'clock
and having his reply ready by 5
o'clock the Same evening. Gould
is in one respect like Phil Sher-
idan was at New Orleans some
years ago, HAe is not afraid"
Gould takes issue with Powderly,
and says to him, 81 am yet free
American citizen. l am past 40
years of age, and was born in Del
aware county, New York. began
life in q lowly way, and by in
dustry, temperance and attention
10 my own business have been sue
cessful, perhaps beyond the meas
ure of my deserts" He treats the
threats to proceed against him by
suits very cody and tells Mr..
Powderiy to go ahead. Gould then
gives history Of the strike and
from his standpoint places the re-
sponslbility for it upon the Shout
ders of the Knights of Labor. The
issue made is 2 direct one between
the knights of Labor as an or
ganization, and Gould as a private
citizen, and with this quarrel the
general public has nothing to do.
Gould speaking tor himseIfand for
the Missouri Pacific railway re-
fuses to treat with the knights of
Labor, though he expresses at
willingness for tho company to
hear grievances of employees and
arbitrate them. The letter is caus-
tic and remarkably well written.
If, as Mr.. Powderly claims, the
Knights OF Labor will keep within
the bounds of the law and proceed
legally for redress the general
public will be entirely satisfied,
but in the mean time let no further
embargo be placed on commerce.
