OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
A Queer Qaeen-Mothor.

The correspondent of the Paris Temps gives some highly curious and interesting details of the fisit paid by the French Resident to the Queen Mother of Anann. Her Majesty is Y years old. She is blind, probably with cataracts- which is very prevalent there. In spite of her great age and inffrni- ties, her infuedce over the affairs of the nation is enormous. The King obeys her most passively. The visit was not an easy matter to bring about, as, according to the custom of the country, no strangers are allowed to enter that part of the palace occu-: pied by the Queen. Nj. Paul Bert was accompanied by his wife, a Scotch lady, and followed by a suite of twelve persons. On ariv ing at the gates of the palace the French cortege was conducted through a number of narrow paths walled in on both sides. Here the sentinels ceased to be men, and are formed of old women dressed in queer eosttimes, bearing scimit- ars sheathed in silver scabbardst who turned their faces to the wall on the sight of the Europeans. Squads of eunuchs and female functionaries advanced, while weird music was heard in the d1sz tance,
 At length, after winding and turning through labyrinth if avenues, the party reached 5 spac- ious courtyards paved with marble. Fifty to sixty women of all ages and in all sorts of dresses were there, some bearing parasols and banners and others playing on flutes and tambourines; they re- sembled for all the world a batch of used-up ballet dancers. The cortege slowly traversed the court yard and entered long narrow dark hall, where the audience took place. The King was present, as gracious as ever, but more silent than usual. A solemn stiffness pervaded the place. Suddenly a slight noise was heard at the end E. 9ahsn The King, taking off
 fpeehed the wall :! ; : |'::: K: 5: l: the audience chamber aAnected with the apartments of her Majesty. The Qneen Mother could now be faintly distinguished, seated on a divan. dressed in yellow robes and turban, immobile as statue. Her existence being proved to the com pany, the curtain was let down again. Thus hidden, invisible but present, her Majesty communicates with the outer world, including the King himself. The King, still on his knees, beckoned to the inter preter to approach and kneef down. He then said something to the Queen, who replied from be- hind the curtain, and the visit ended.

ciliation between the employer and laborer.
 Our statesmen can study the English statutes and the French Prud'hommes, and readily draft {. law comportable with the spirit of our Republic, a law that would give equitable relief to both en- ployer and employe. Such law in force would undoubtedly solve the wage problem and save mil lions of money to the laborers.
 Boycotting by conspiring to break up a business is illegal, and ignorant victims have been sent to the penitentiary in some states for this line of practice It has also been decided by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that if a trade association conspire to break up the business of a master me- chanic, because he will not pay d sum demanded for wages, by inter- fering with hls employment of la borers, he may sue the instigators for damages. (Carew vs. Ruther ford, 106 Mass, 1) 50 1t appears that the boycotters are criminally and civilly liable for conspiring to break down ones business. Boy cotting can never be popular in the United States, and ought not to be. Equity should be meted out to all. Participation in the profits by the workmen ought to work well and equitably; but to this plaa the capitalist will not agree. The most feasible plan seems to be to adjust the differences of labor and capital by arbitration. One thing is self-evident, Strikes, lockouts, and the like, paralyze business, and ought to be avoided. Without capital, laborers must starve to death. Unless there is conciIia- ton between capital and labor, the contest must continue and re- suit as the fight between the Xiii kenny cats.-D. H. Pingrey in The Current.

ARBITRATION.

Antagonlsms between the em- ployer and the employe have ex- isted from time immemorial. To remove these antagonisms entirely cannot be done. But they can be modified and equitable conciliation between employer and employe can be obtained.
 Industrial legislation has not always proved a success in this line, because 1t has leaned towards the employer and especially so a century ago,
 Sir Edward Coke complained of the trade monopolies of his time. 6 Inst, S1) In England in the time of James I. these trade mo- nopolies were greatly restricted. Arbitration was adopted as a means of settlement of differences between labor and capital by the act of ) George ", c. 90, This act proved too complicated, so much so that its provisions did not meet the expectations of the people interested. (Macdonald's Handbook, 1871 The act of 30 and 31 Victoria, c. 1O5, is an i'm provement on this kind of legisla- tion, and resembles the plan of the French Consell de Prud'hom mes, or a council of master trades men and workmen to settle differ ences. It provides that the work men shall elect delegates to coun- ell, which shall fix the rate of wages and settle other disputes pertaining to such employment.
 This act was more of a success, as is witnessed by the concillation of the Nottingham strike of 1860. Many English manufacturers have adopted this plan to great extent. The act of 35 and 36 Victoria, c. 46, provides for the settling of diff ferences in detail, and further pro vides for the appointment of arbi trators in case of disagreement.
 The master builders and masons, in England, adopted arbitration n fin 1S72

Bob. Ingersoll, the great native heather, expressed himself as fol lows in regard to the alleged trouble between labor and capital: Here is shoe shop. One man in the shop, is always busy at work during the day always industrious In the evening he goes courting a good, nice girl. There are five other men in the shop who don't do any such thing. They spend half of their working hours in loaf ing and their working evenings in dissipation. The first young man by and by cuts out from these others, and gets boot and shoe store of his own. Then he marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out to ride of an evening. The five laborers, his former com panions, who see him indulging in this luxury, retire to a neighbor- ing saloon and pass a resolution that there Is an eternal struggle between labor { and capltal"

LET THERE BE A RESPONSE.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
VIII you kindly answer few questions
Have you heard any response to the call of
the Ladies Benevolent Home for aid. Why
is it that the public responds quickly and to
the point to the appeals OF all other institu-
tions, such as government buildings, rail
roads, churches, Schools the w. c. T. U. and
the Y NJ c. A.
Why is it that this city of from 10000 to
y. 600 inhabitants expect few women to
maintain and keep afloat a home for the
MANNED, blind and halt without generous
offering of both money and sympathy
Every paper we read tells of another church
with ground donated and large sums of
money cheerfully given. Why don't some
of these good people start a fund for this
other work. Did Christ when on earth
build churches alone. or did he so among the
poor. sick and afflicted,

STATE OF KANsEs,

Three plain DRINKS appeared before his
honor yesterday morning, j. II. Power, Brit
on Fifer and Edward Daily. His honor per-
petrated a CHASTITY pun upon the helpless men
by inquiring of Edward if such thing was
daily occurrence with him And this privi-
lege may have had something to
do with the leniency he showed the prisoners.
Their fines were net SIS, but an inventory of
funds on hand showed 50 fol. Powers and 81
for Fifer SO they put UP this and Daily was
sent to find another dollar He is still look
ing for it, no doubt, and for that reason he
has not yet put in his appearance. It is, how
ever, the opinion of the judge that the trio
have left town and that is worth a great deal

YOUR MONEY OR LIFE.

As Jesse Bruce, the clerk at Dr. Ortts
drug store on the West side, was returning
to his home last night about 10o'clock, a man
sprang from behind tree near the Presbyte-
terrain church and demanded his money
Young Bruce was but thirteen, yet he was in
no wise scared SO he placed his revolver to
the breast of the would-be Claude Duval, and
told him if he moved he would kill him
Keeping his eyes on the man he backed for
some distance and started for assistance
Officer Hanblow was found and the two,
with Mr. Gardner, who had been aroused
searched for the would-be robber but failed
to find him.
