VAUDEVILLE.

Although the weather was very Indictment
Monday evening and the sidewalks extreme
ly slippery, nearly every seat in City Hall
was filled by admirers of the talented lady
lecturer, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. The
following is an abstract of Mrs. Livermore' $
remarks Concerning Husbands:
"In ancient times we find the relation of
husband to wife most deplorable. The hus-
band is always the master and the wife the
slave. He C mmands her as he would dog
and she obeys. She is his property, and he
can treat her in any way he chooses without
restriction. He can lend, sell or gamble her
He is her judge, jury and e1ecutioner. She
serves him at all times. She tastes of his
food before he eats, to prove that she has not
poisoned it. After he has satisfied himself
at the table she is permitted to eat, if there
is anything left, and if not. she must wait
until the next meal The husband may be
old infirm, wicked, base and a villain in
every respect, but his wife must regard him
as god The deprsvity of men was never
thought of in those times. All imper fections
were found In women. In China, il was no
exception. The rights of women were wholly
disregarded. She even had no name until
she was married. Then if she married
Fung Wang she was Fung Wang's wife.
If Fung Wang died she became the property
of his oldest son and if there was no oldest
son she fell to her former husbands nearest
male relation. At all times she was under
the rigid control and stern guardianship of
man. Infantcide was very prevalent in China
A lady missionary in that country once called
on one of the leading ladies in a large
Monaghan city, and found her in the act of
drowning q new born female child. She

claring that if she let her daughter live that
she would reproach her for hav-
ing done so, rs she herself did her own neither
most bitterly for permitting her to live.

Ludicrous Points of Revenue Reform


At the Commercial Club banquet in Provi-
dence last week. +. A. Hartshorn. of Troy,
representing the American Protective Tariff
League, said
A well-equipped American industrial es-
tablishment running on full time is an ex-
cellent revenue reformer. The country
needs more of this kind and less of the rev.
enuc reformers who champion the European
mandatory. The domestic workshop is
both a revenue reducer and a revenue pro-
Queer. The only possible improvement upon
the American factory as a revenue reformer
is two American factories instead of one. By
the abolition of the internal revenue taxes
the citizens of the United States would be
the freest traders on earth, but the revenue
reformers refuse to reform the revenue in
this respect. They are trying to stop the
surplus revenue from the tariff when as q
matter of fact there is none to stop Away
with such revenue reform as this. II IS a
mockery and delusion. There has not been
sufficient revenue from tariff taxes in the last
twenty years to pay the current expenses
of the Government economically admins
tered.
Now if, for the sake of argument. we ad
NIT what is not true. that the tariff adds 40
per cent to the cost of these articles, We must
still decline to purchase abroad if we would
| buy cheap. The real cost of home made
article is the value of the crude or unwroughi
raw material before labor has been expended
| on it, required to make the article. How
much does it deplete the natural wealth Of
the United States to build a SIG, 900 locomo
tive; Not 800. Or Harris Corliss SO .25(
engine? Only about Sl3 Ora Sl25 harvest
ing machinef Only $l.25. Or 81 pump
About cents. Now, if we manufacture a
home, we keep our money at home and de
| plete the natural resources OF the country
lhtle indeed; only for the raw material. But
if he purchase abroad even at 40 per cen
less than we can purchase at home, our ma
tural resources are largely depleted in paying
for our foreign purchases. Where, then
does the robbery come in and who is thu
robbcr! The revenue reformer and not the
I manufacturer is the real robber.

A TALK WITH BLAINE.
Mr.. Pangborn Tells what He said in a
Private Conversation In 1884.

We are not much surprised by this action
of Mr.. Blaine he did not personally desire
know, nor did he himself think, prior to the
helping of the Republican National Conven-
ton of that year, that his own nomination
would be then the most polite and wise. In
1884, a few weeks before the convention as
sembled, Mr.. Blaine said in private con-
versation that he did not then desire to be the
candidate, and doubted the wisdom Of the
party in selecting him as its standard bearer
He said Il do not think this is my time -
We said to him: But, Mr.. Blaine, what
will you do if. in spite of this opinion of
yours and regardless of your personal wish
in the matter, the feeling in the convention
should be so strongly in favor of our nom-

As to the lugubrious and absurd lie
and Mugwnmp papers, relative to the
health NJ Mr.. Blaine, purporting to have
been told by DR.. Wolf, who saw him in
Paris, the following from one ofthe editors
of Lewiston journal, a very reliable and
responsible gentleman, is sufficient;
Now. on the day on which the present
Congress assembled the first Monday of De-
cember last, only few days before Mr..
Blaine left for the south of France and Italy
the writer of this paragraph called on Mr..
Blaine at Hotel Binda. This could have been
but few days prior to the CHASTITY discovery
made by the Hartford doctor On December
9th Mr.. Blaine was breakfasting with his
family and AZ perfect picture of good
health at IS years of age, as the writer has
ever seen. His checks had red color, his ap-
petite was good, he rclishcd what he called
his American flap jacks, and was as happy
as vigorous health, well-earnet respite from
toll and the youth of old age entitle a man to
be. After conversation. Mr.. Blaine Joined
the writer in n rapid walk in a driving rain
from the hotel through the Avenue de / Opera
and an intersecting Boulevard and back again
to the hotel We hope DIR. Wolf is able
so easily to strike vigorous a gait.
We have already stated that the
remarks incidentally made by Mr.
Blaine on that day regarding his health,
to the effect that he wa. never better in his
life and that he owed the preservation of his
health to good constitution aud to temper
ance in all things Strange, if within few
days of that conversation, Mr.. Blaine was
changed froma robust, iron gray and hearty
gentleman in the vgor of perfect health, APP
parent to others and by himself consciously
enjoyed, To feeble, "emaciatcd" invalid,
with "bulging eyes" "swollen eye-lids" and
yellow sickly skim" 1t is surprising that
DIR. Wolf did not volunteer to give Mr..
Blaine some of his Mugwump pills. On
December 9Th (the day following that above
noted) Mr.. Blaine wrote his reply to Clcve-
lands mes sage, a reply which was remarka-
bly, deficient in emaciated symptoms. He was
then walking miles daily, receiving daily
calls from distinguished French statesmen,
visiting the opera, studying the French Corps
Lcgislatif on the spot. was an observer of the
French presidential crisis at Versailles, and
up to the day of his leaving Paris for South
ern France. we believe, was as physically ac-
tive rs any man in Paris. DIR. VOLTS dag
