SMART YANKEE GIRLS.
Good Wages Made by the Shoe-Stitchers of
 New England.

Good Wages Made by the Shoe-Stitchers of
 New England.
 Perhaps you would like to know what part of the work of boot-making is done by the girls. After the shoes are cut out they are sent upstairs to the work-room, together with the lin. ings. Sixty pairs, that is, a case, are tied up together. The Things are stamped with number of boot and case.
 When the boots go into the stitching room they are given to one set of girls to have the seams sewed; the next set of girls stay them at the back; the next sew the Innings in; they are then turned smoothed by another set; the buttonholes are then made; the but tons are put on, the vamps sewed on, and then they are ready to be soled. The men take them from that point.
 Some of the girls can do four cases a day, although that is a large days work. Three cases are about fair average and a girl does not call herself a smart worker who can not do this without working her full ten hours; they can do it in nine or nine and a half As they work by the piece they can do more or less as they please. If they feel indolent they will not do so much; if they feel like putting in,' as they express it, they will do more; but three cases are fair average. They are paid Sl.l0 a case and the girls earn from $l5 to S2o week; they sometimes go as high as $22 and there have been girls who have. wLcn they worked their full time during the week, made from S2i to $25, but these arc isolated instances.
 The buttonhole girls can easily make 3,50O a day; they often run up to Loco. i.50o and even 5000; but the latter number k attained only by the swiftest workers. who work up to their full time of ten hours. A good average |, considered from $500 to 4.0oo The machine does about all The work; the one in charge has to set it, then it does the rest itself It is one of the most interesting machines to watch that Is used in the room; al. though the joker oi the whole affair. the one that seems to play at work, is the machine that sews on the buttons.

THE Washington 4 Idaho railroad

THE Washington 4 Idaho railroad
company commences work on its ex-
tensions from Pennington to-day. A
gentleman from Rockford informed us
yesterday that he had sold land in that
town TO the company for depot pur-
poses. This is indeed glorious news.
We congratulate Rockford and inter-

try upon the advent OF this great
artery OF commerce. The o. II. & N.

The North Carolina republican con
vention declared for BLAINE. Four
years ago North Carolina gave Mr..
BLAINE one hundred and twenty-seven
thousand votes, which up to that time
were four thousand votes more than
had ever been polled by either party.
At least fifteen thousand republican
votes were rejected by the poll holders.
In that state voter can not "swear
in" his vote. If it is challenged the poll
keepers, two democrats and one repub
lican, decide the matter. The decision
is always on the "S to 7"plan.

IT IS too hot to get drunk. In this
kind of weather a man ought to keep
cool. He needs all his faculties about
him to keep out OF the sun as much
as possible, aud to decide how much 70

his appetite with liquor and gorges
himself with anything and everything

chance of patronizing one OF our pic

SOME time since the RRvIEw stated
that the Washington G. Idaho railway
would have cars running into Spokane
before any other road. We are now
able to state that this road is buying
the right of way and paying for it
from Harrington to our city. The
REVIEW takes the liberty to welcome
this road in the name of all our people.
The road will GM this a good place to

A GREAT PROBLEM.

Every week ten thousand immi-
grants land in this country. They
come here to get away from the ty-
ranny and oppression of their home
governments and to get toa land OF
freedom and equality. Sooner or later
this tide OF foreigners pouring upon
our shores will have to be stopped.
The problem to be solved is whether
il will be stopped by laws Of our own
making, regulating and finally pro-
hibiting immigration, or whether it
will be stopped by renouncing the
cause which impels these unfortunate
men into exile. In our opinion the
establishment of freedom in Ameri ca
was but the blossoming of the fruitage
Of the centuries. The grown flower
will shed its fragrance over the entire
world. We regard it as the duty Of
this government TO promulate the doc
trine to the world, that it is part OF
onr mission to aid in finally over.
throwing monarchy and inherited
power wherever they prevail, and un-
til that mission is accomplished the
destiny of America is unfulflled.
Should such declaration result in
wars the losers would be the slave
master and the king. Freedom wins
all her battles.

THE Southern people do not elect to
office, or even respect, a southern man
who sympathized with the union cause
during the war or fraternized political
ly with northern politicians since the
war. We do not blame them. But
they ought to understand why it is
that the north does not appreciate
their thrusting of northern copper
heads on the people of the north.
Such rules ought to work both ways.

Four years ago the nomination OF
CLEVELAND was secured after bitter
and prolonged struggle. He will be
nominated next month at st. Louis by
acolamation. Four years ago he was
a more popular man with his party
than he is to-day. Then he was an
experiment, and encountered only the
hostility that accompanies rivalry.
Now he has many pronounced per-
sonal and political enemies. How are
we to reconcile his increase of political
and personal strength with his do
crease of personal and political popu-
larityP The solution of the problem is
found in the term, "the party ma
chine" Never has the party lash

a JEALOUS RIVAL.

Inc question mas often risen IN my
mind, when looking nightly at the EN-
igrant cars passing through Fargo,
bound for the Pacific coast country /:
What is it that occasions this great rush
OF people westward to country ap-
parently already flooded with men
seeking, but unable to obtain work,
and many others seeking cheap lands
for futnre honest A gentleman of
this city who has just returned from
the Pacific coast, and who went as far
south as Los Angeles, says that where
one gets work ten are idle, and many
unable to go elsewhere for want of
means. This same gentleman states
that in Spokane Falls many able
bodied men are actually suffering for
sufficient food. while Others are forced
to beg for something to eat. The town
is actually swarmipg with idle men,
who can't leave for want of means !;
are willing TO work but there is no
work. Spokane Falls was doomed all
winter, and nearly everybody who
went west to better their condition,
when asked where they were going
their answer was almost certain to be
"Spokane." Thus went the rush. Once
there and money about gone and no
work, the answer and result is easy of
solution. Other towns, even Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle are crowded with
idle men. This foolish rush westward
of men ignorant Of the condition Of
affairs at the point of their destination
should in some manner be stopped
Minneapolis Tribune.
The RRvIEw had been expecting an
attack OF this character from the only
rival Spokane has in the great strug-
gle now going on between the cities Of
the northwest for supremacy. We
will confess, however, that Minneapo
lis makes the attack little earlier than
had been anticipated. A man OF con-
spicuous talent and greatly trusted by
the people is sure to be the object OF
rivalry and abuse on the part OF those
who do not succeed in achieving the
same fame, but who imagined that
public honors were intended for them
and for them alone. On the other
hand, there is disposition on the
part OF many who have been "wafted
by favoring gale" into prominence
and power to look with contempt up
on those who are rapidly marching to
q position abreast Of the leaders. So
it is with cities. Spokane will never
theless keep marching on. The vast
water-power which nature gave her
will be partially utilized to turn the
enormous product OF this country into
flour for the people OF the northwest ;
and then, being convenient to the sea.
she may ship some of her staples
abroad.
The Tribune states, on the somewhat
vague authority. of gentleman
that "many able-bodied men are actu
ally suffering for sufficient food, while
others are forced to beg for something
to eat. The town is actually swarm
ing with idle men, who can't leave
for want of means; are willing to work,
but there is no work. This statement
is grossly exaggerated. Men who wait
work in some special line, and men
who want work--pure and simple work
constitute two separate and distinct
classes. For the latter, this country
affords plenty OF work and many kinds
OF it. And men will continue to come

DIR. McGLYNN does not strengthen
his position by the statement that
Irish fools are sending two hundred
thousand dollars from America annu-
ally to the pope in return for his
blessing on this nation, nor by COM
pairing the pope to the devil. The
blessings OF good man given to sixty
millions OF people are cheap at that
rate-less than cent apiece. And
until the doctor produces properly
certified photograph of his satanic
majesty, we will not believe SO good a
man as McGLYSN has stayed long
enough in the company Of OLD NICK
to say with accuracy how he looks.

The appointment of men from the
south to portion of the prominent
positions within the gift Of the presi-
dent is proper enough. Whether or
not southern men thus appointed were
in the confederate amy does not mat
ter. What the republicans Of the
north so earnestly detest is the APP
pointment OF the most offensive north
ern copperheads to these positions.
These men who fought the northern
armies from the rear are intensely
hated by the men they attempted TO
betray, while the men who fought in
the confederate army are recognized
as soldiers, contesting for one OF the
familiar theories of our government.
With the snob PHELPS at the court of
ST. JAMES, we have no quarrel. He
belongs there, and it is a pity that
CLEVELAND cannot send the rest of
the kid-gloved, anti-union half-breeds
that cling to his skirts along with MIN.
The last number of this fraternity to
receive the highest honor within the
gift Of the president is MELVILLE w.
FULLER, who has recently been ap-
pointed chief justice. There are many
loyal democrats in the north who are
worthy OF the honor, but they are, as
usual, passed by on the other side.

crease in the price Of lead. If wheat,
oats, rye and lead will bring price at
