1t is good sign when the danes OF
high degree revolt against custom
which has almost nothing to recommend
It beyond the fact that it is old. The
cheering news comes from over the
ocean that some OF the thoughtful
women of England, who have the good
fortune also to occupy high social place,
arc not so much enamoured OF mourning
weeds asthey used to be.
Therevoltis directed against the deep
ness OF the mourning and tho length OF
time it is worn. II the women OF wealth
and social position declare for less
mourning, or against all mourning, as it
shows itself in sombre garments, the re-
mainder OF tue feminine world will fol-
low suit. The leaders would be followed
in this just as they would be ifthey were
to decree that every red-headed woman
must wear a red hat, or every black
haired woman go bare-headed.
Many poor family is sadly put to for
the ostentatious display OF black which
fashion has said must bo worn to show
tho proper tenderness of feeling. What
ever the depth Of sorrow, the weeds are
matter OF fashion, not of feeling.

The coal men have been waiting pa
tiently for "coal boat stage" OF water.
The lumbermen of West Virginia have
been waiting for months, some OF them
for two years, for rise to start their
logs to market.
1t has all come with n rush. The
coal men found they had too much OF it
for safety. The lumbermen were obliged
to devote themselves to the dangerous
and difficult task Of saving their pro-
perry from utter destruction. AS the
swollen Ohio sweeps past our doors it
tells how bitterly the lumbcrmen have
been disappointed.
The loss in West Virginia has been
large. So much may be said with safety,
after allowing an ample margin for the
exaggeration Of first reports. The blow
will fall heavily on the little communi.
ties in this State which have suffered,
for few of them represent large bank
balances and all OF them represent men
and women who have to struggle for u
living.
The INrELLIGENcER hopes that when
the waters fall the destruction may
prove to be less than at first appeared
but whatever the gross loss may be, it is
enough to draw to the unfortunates the
sympathy of all who pity the distressed.
1t may be that We shall see before long
that those OF US who have escaped can
well show our sympathy in practical
and acceptable way.

PROTECTION AND PATRIOTISM.

Rev. DIR. Bartol says "America's First
Duty is to Take Care of Americans"
Litter to The Boston Journal.
Political economy is a flexible science.
1t is moral and not mathematical. 1t is
learned by experience, and nowhere
fully laid down in books. Patriotism is
part and member of true philanthropy,
which bleeds and suffers by amputation
of the love of country. The land, like
the house in st. Paul's doctrine, (which
proyideth not for lis own inmates, de-
MES the faith and is worse than an in
tideI." Americas first duty is to take
care OF Americans; only next and far
off obligation to look out for England
and Russia, except by international
equity that can not be too watchful and
strict. We must do what we can for
the benefit OF mankind by fostering in
dustry on our own shores; and it is not
Winding our own, but meddling with
others business, besides being false
calculation, TO seek TO put our labor
and laborers into an equation with
those OF any other region, Great Britain,
China or Japan. Neither brains, nor
hands, nor wants, nor ways,
modes Of living, nor any habits
OF body or mind are the same
among men all over the world. AS EN-
ployers or employees, Yankees can not
live on rice, maccaroni, a fig, date, olive
or grape. One worker is worth more
than another and must have more pay.
What n sliding scale Of wages on the
planet, from side to side! Ii the immi-
grant among us does the same stint as
the native let him have the same re-
ward. Why are naturaii2ed millions
here but because such is our custom and
law? But il were u foolish and futile

The proposition to increase the pay
of city laborers from 81 50 to 81 20 for a
day Of nine hours, is unauthorized
demagogy. Neither the member who
offered it nor any member who voted
for it, if ne be an employer, will endorse
that proposition If put at him with re-
gard TO his own business. The men
who are employed by the city have not
complained that they were paid below
the ruling rates for similar labor. While
they would be glad to get more, there is
reason to believe that they are satisfied
with the compensation and would re-
ioice to know that it was to be contin'
ued to them year in and year out.
If the present movement had not been
what we have characterized it--unadul'
terated demagogy-it would have been
set on foot when the years budget was
under consideration. Tho philanthro'
pists who have conceived it would not
have waited until the work had been
laid out-so much work for so much
money-and until election time wal
drawing near. The hand Of the politi
cal trickster is too plain in the who'll
business to deceive anybody.
1t will certainly be impossible to de
ceive those Woodworking taxpayer
who, by dint of their industry an'
economy, have secured little homes
many ofthem on wages less that 81 so {
day. As taxpayers, and therefore EN-
ployers, they arc asked to pay NOR
than they receive for similar labor an'
perhaps more OF it. The more thi
thing is thought over the more the falls
pretense of it will appear.

General Harrison's course on the Chi
nese question was honorable, just and
right. 1t would never be called in
question except by men whose regard
Tor the obligations Of their country was
not subordinated to a disposition to play
the part OF the paltry demagogue to ig-
norance and prejudice. Harrison did
noeOppose restriction Of Chinese immi-
grafton, but insisted that the acts OF re-
striction should be kept within the pro-
visions OF the treaties. Was not this
right?
