TILE w0MEN REH1TED BEST.

II is interesting and gratifying to observe that in
nearly all the accounts OF what happened on board
the Oregon after the collision the first credit is
given to the women passengers for GOODNESS, bravery
and diguitied behavior The men in the first cabin
are said to have come next in freedom from panic
and in the repression of selshncss, but not all of
them had self command enough to refrain from con-
vusive struggles to get into the boats, and not all
of them remembered at that exciting moment the
courtesy habitual to them. The women, however,
behaved noby and. 50 far as can be ascertaned.
perfectly. Helpless and utterly dependent rs they
were. they made no trouble got nObody's way,
abstaincd from all nervous cOllapscS, did not add
to the general distress lay screaming or crying. i'm
plored M one to save THEM but cOntOrmed to all
the requirements Of the situation as calmly and
promptly as if they had been thoroughly used to
shipwreck.
In such critical junctures character is exhibited
free from all disguise or warm 'sh The selfish
people throw OFF all pretence of caring for any one
but themselves. The brutal people push out OF their
way all who impede their efforts to secure their
ow safety. The animal nature asserts ltscll with
hdepus candor at the supreme moment, and those
who betray no litleness in passing through such
ordeal are beyond doubt true metal The women
passengers of the Oregon were probably quite
age specimens of their sex. There Is no reason to
regard them rs exceptional But they acted with
a gentle. quiet sclf-abDcgation beautiful to contem
plate. and they did not appear to have to put any
compulson upon themselves to do this. The ex
PLANTATION of course is not far to seek Women are
as a rule far less selfish than far more altru-
istic to borrow L word from the evolutionary ter
mimolOy. Their lives aro spent IN self-Sacriice
very frequently. They learn To think moro OF
others than themselves And though some pcss.mists
have atterly broacned the heretcal assertion that
modern social ways and educational arrangements
were gradually diminishing the most attractive
and lovely characteristic of woman the case Of the
Oregon proves how idle an apprehension re-
ally is by demonstrating that in danger, IN the
face Of death the calm courage aud sweet unselash
ness of the suppressed sex put them as far above

MR.. LABOUCHERES FORECAST

Mr.. Labouchere's ca0le letter in yesterdays
issue was as timely as it was remark able. The
rumors respecting Mr. Chamberans resigna-
tiOn disclose the critical stage which Mr.. Glad
stones Irish programme has now reached. He
has brought before the Cabinet a scheme for
purchasing the estates Of the Irish landlords in
connection with legislative proposals for Home
Rule The leader of the Radical party is un-
derstood to have dissented from one or both of
these schemes. The designations of Mr..
Trevelyan and other members are reported to
be impending. Mr. Gladstone can find substi-
tutes for them, albeit not without weakening
the Government; but if Mr.. Chamberlain
deserts him, the Cabinet will be in a most pre-
carOus condition Mr.. GladstOne's Irish meas
ures are doomed unless the Radical party can
be enlisted for their support. With Mr.
Chamberlain sulking in his tent, or openly
leading a Radical revolt against either Home
Rule or a costly scheme of appropriation, the
position of the Government will be untenabe.
Mr. Laboucheres views on the Cabinet crisis
are expressed with characteristic bOldness and
cand0r lie considers that Mr.. Chamberlain, if
he resigns, will injure himself very much, and
will separate himself from the Radicals. This
may be true but Mr.. Chamberlain calculates
very closely the chances Of English politics.
We should be disposed to say that if he persists
in his resignation it will be an unerring indica-
ton that the English democracy does not want
to pay round sum for appropriation in ad-
dtion to cOnceding Home Rule. Mr.. Chamber
lain, as Mr.. LabOuchere says, is thoroughly
democratic. He knows what is passing in the
minds of the Radical constituencies, if any one
does. His resignation will be a fact of mo-
mentous import in relation to Mr.. GladstOne's
Irish policy.
Mr.. Labouchere's slashing criticisms upon the
conduct and motives of Mr.. Gladstone : assOci-
ates reveal his racy literary style. He excepts
Mr.. Chamberlain from his structures, but as
serts that the other members of the Cabinet,
after strenuOusy opposing Home Rule and
secretly intriguing to force Mr.. Gladstone into
retirement, took Office because they preferred
place and salary to being left cut in the cold"
Manifestly, this sweeping indictment will not
hold against either MIR. Morley or Lord Rose
berry. nor against Lord Spencer. who Mir. La

1t is evident that some of the iDemOcratic
members of the Pan-Electric investigating
committee will stand watching. Already they
are seeking to suppress important letters bear
ing on this inquiry. One of these documents
which the chairman of subcommittee wishes
excluded as irrelevant contains these words,
written by Secretary Young: "lf Harry can by
any possibility invent any kind of a telephone
system that will not be practical infringement
of any existing patents we can start it on a
small scale and dictate terms to Could" To
exclude such letters as that would make the
investigation farce.

Some of the minor incidents connected with the
loss of the Oregon are painfully instructive. There
was the sinking steamship visible great way Oft,
flying signals OF distress; but two other steam
ships passing by at a distance md not heed her. 1t
Is hard to believe that tine signals were not noticed
Perhaps an inability to believe that so huge a yes-
sci as the Oregon could be in great distress near
shore and desire to beat her INTO port at all events
had something to do with the failure of these
steamships go to her aid. No such excuses. how
ever, can be made for tbe commander of the
schooner Gorham, who. even when he knew the
danger the Oregon's passens gers were in, h"sitated
to take them on board, s;tying lie was short OF
provisions. Sailors have always been considered

The rumOr that the Apaches desire TO sur
lender is probable enough. At the last talk
they had with General Crook, who would listen
to 10 proposal but one of unconditional sur
render there was reason to suppose that ma
jOrty of the Indians were willing to accept the
hard conditions, but that Geronimo and few
others were not yet ready to agree to be
hanged. SO it is likely that by this tine the
@buchs" are resolved TO give themselves up
whether the chiefs like hanging or not. Graft
flying as it is to know that another campaign
against the Apaches will possibly not be
needed, few persons will be able to repress a
feeling of evaporation when they remember
that just as the brave Crawford had these
wretches captured, his useless death at the
hands of the Mexicans left them free to negoti
ate for a surrender.

IL was not without certain feeling OF sympathet-
ic sorrow that we read the opening line OF the latest
circular of our good -naturcd and really very able
friend Mr. J. S. Moore. He seems to have lost some
of the elasticity the buOyaut courage and tho rO-
bust energy that usually distinguish his exciting
manfestos. This last one begins sadly enough.
1t takes indeed n long, long time" he says with
almost the emphasis of despair, to educate the
masses" True enough. il does. and we can't so
much blame Mr. Moore if he feels Inclined to give
it up. Neither the memory of the living, nor the
traditions handed down by the deaG. reach back to
that time in the long ago when he first entered
uDOn his career a iree-Trade pamphetwrter.
The fOOlscap paper he has used mp would probably
pave the ocean. Miles upon miles, tons upon tons,
Of his thrilling and romantic FTce-Trade essays have
been cast abroad among the masses, and still man
uiacturers Ii ve and the American wOrkingamn gets
far more wages than his fellow gets abroad. Still
the looms and the mills active millions of en-
gnes beat with ccaseless DulsatOns, and protection
against foreign trade together with competition at
home continues to supply the Nation with revenue
and the masses with employment. Ii is no wonder
Mr.. Moore looks upon the results of his selfappont-
ed task with dependency. Perhaps he would do
better however, if he didn't make his circulars
read so much like tale of Zola's.
