Mr.. Sloan (sevcrely)-Georgc, 1 cannot consent to
an adjournment until We have paid some attention
to important questions of great interest to the public
and every day asked whether there is anything
the matter with our company.
George-we have attempted to make a general
settlement In the Southwest, but We have been dis
couraged by the defeat of our plan.
Mr. SlOan-Whose plan this clearing house

Although 1t cannot be announced officially, an adj

dered at any moment. Tho negotiations looking In
that direction making favorable progress. and it
is not believed that their contamination will be long
delayed Efforts are now being made TO secure an
Improvement in tho passenger situation, and 1t IS
hoped that accompanying the advance in freight
tariffs there will be announcement that tho vital
points of difference in immigrant business have been
arranged for submission to arbitration in agree

To-day a conference will be held between the nhnk

made in adjusting disputed questions of payment of
commissions 10 agents and in preparing the way for
a harmonious operation of the passenger branch
Of the trunk line business. II is understood that
some of the most serious obstacles In the prcserva-
ton of passenger rates have been removed by al

strongly developed and how sound
are the jaws of members of Parlia-
ment and of our Congressman.
Hence the principal product of the
London law factory, as well as of our
national Jaw Gymnasium at Wash
ington, is talk. 1t is because both
the British and American legislators
use their jaws so much and their
brains 50 little that the working
women Of London and of Chicago
have little use for teeth Or jawbone8.
And this is the outcome of the long
boosted British and American civili-
zation. This is the result OF the
long lauded British and American
craftsmanship, Women and chill
dren worked, starved and tortured
to death almost on the eve Of the
twentieth century. Such ciyiliza-
ton, Such statesmanship.-S0a tth-

A NEW FUEL.

1t is stated that DR.. Kaufman, a
Russian experimenter, has succeeded III
solidifying petroleum, to be used as fuel,
by heating it and mixing it with from
one to three per cent. Of soap, The lat
ter dissoves in the oil, and the liquid in
cooling forms compact mass, having
the appearance of cement and the con-
sistence of tallow. The product is
difficult to intlame, but when lighted
burns slowly and without smoke, devel
oplng a high temperature, and leaving
only two per cent. of hard black resid-
uum.-ScietWc Anlericm

WHO ARE THE SWEATERS {?

We have heard much lately about
the sweating system, and society has
been holding its hands high in hor-
ror at the atrocities of the sweaters.
Who are these sweaters? "Let him
who is without sin cast the first
stone" The man who buys cloth
ing at a price which makes it impos-
sible that living wages could have
been paid to the makers Of 1t, is not
he a sweater and the cause Of all the
ether sweaters who stand between
him and that poor victim of the
sweating system, the sewing girl, in
her garnet, dressed in rags and hv-
ing on crusts, perhaps selling her
soul for food? Nay, are not all the
other sweaters but his agents :-La-
Dor Ret0rmer.

when we looked upon Mr.. George as
perhaps the Moses Of the millions
who were held in the worse than
Egyptian bondage Of industrial slav-
cry.
But alas, our idol was but clay,
and his own voice, his own acts,
made that fact known to all the
world that had eyes to see and used
them. Since then Mr.. George has
degenerated into the political ora
tor, and his speeches, at $500 Il
piece, are reported at length by the
journals of the party with which he
has lately trained. But what recalls
Mr.. George to us just now is the
quotation from one Of his recent
speeches eulogistic of that arch-cn-
envy of Organized Labor. Abram s.
Hewitt. Not one man in New York
city-not onc-has so far prosti-
tuted official position in an endcayOr
to Insult and to make appear dlsrep-
utable Labor organizations, as has
Mr.. Hewitt. Yet Henry George,
the late apostle of the masses, finds
this enemy of honest men so charm
ing that he publicly makes mention
of the fact, and expresses the hope
that he may have the opportunity to
vote for him for Mayor Of New
York. Well, every man has right
to his opinion, and we presume Mr..
George has right to his Judgment
of New York's eccentric mayor. But
perhaps Mr.. Georges compliment
airy remarks anent Mr.. Hewitt are
expected as part equivalent for the
$500 received from Mr.. Wattcrson's
Oratorical Bureau.
However that may be, they serve
to show what a wide gulf now d.
vides Henry George and the $4,000
honest Workingmen who cast their
ballots for him in 1856; they serve
to show how far apart Henry George
now stands from the army Of earnest
laborers who then Clipped in their
hard-earned dollars for the purpose
Of defraying the election expenses OF
one whose elevation to office they
fondly hoped would signify to all
the world that at last the giant
Labor had realized his power and
learned to use it. Poor Henry

WHY THIS OPPOSITION ?

Greatly needed as are police mat
ron8 in all our large cities, their en-
pIoyment, naturally enough, is OPP
posed by many of the present Off
cials. A recent number Of the
Washington lDorjcaH says: "Thc
commissioners evidently intend to
make 1t as hard as possible to carry
out the provisions of the bill APP
pointing three police matrons in
this city,. There is alleged diff
Guilty about the payment of their
salaries, and again there are "no
places to accommodate them if they
should enter upon their Duties" In
Boston, though the Legislature has
authorized the appointment of po-
lice matrons, the municipal author
tiles have managed to eyade for the
most pa, their appointment to the
present time. All the more does
this significant opposition to the ap.
pointment Of wOmen-in connection
with the police service, to have the
care of accused, hayward or guilty
women-render their cmpIoymcnt de-
sirablc and necessary. -PhUaRtdr0-

MIGHT GIVE HIMSELF AWAY.

W'Ve-You shouldn't take such NOR

his wife slowly dying, and yet he has a

every body.

FLOWERS OF CAPITALISM.
America and England Vieing in the
Degradation of Women.

While the papers Of Chicago and
of the country in general were de-
scribing the poverty, misery and
helpless dependence in which the
working girls Of Chicago lived, and
the systematic i'll treatment to which
they were subjected, the papers of
London, England, were teeming
with the detailed horrors Of match
factory life in that city. The expos
ures incident to the investigation Of
the strike in Bryant & Mays match
factory had aroused public indigna-
ton. About |, 400 women and girls
went out on a strike. The wages
paid were wretchedly low, and the
hours of labor degradingly long. Be-
sides, they were fined on the slight
est provocation OF shOrtcoming. The
women averaged, according to the
company's statement, $3.50 per
week, and the girls from Is cents to
s.. 10 per week. Many Of the little
girls were found to be bald on ac-
count Of carrying boxes on their
heads. They were compelled to eat
their meals in the factory in the
fumes Of PHOSPHORUS, which re-
suited IN many cases in liberation of
the iawbGne. But the profits of the
company were magnificent, even if
it was made out of the souls and
bodies of the women and girls. Last
year the dividend was twenty-three
per cent. And among the stock
holders are three Members of Parlia-
ment and ffty-fve clergymen of the
Church of England. All good peo-
pie, of course. And other highly
respectable stockholders were found
to be pocketing the profits from the
unpaid match factory girls. No
doubt those highly respectable own
ers Of the match factory thought
they We're doing those women and
| girls quite a favor IN furnishing
them with good steady work. What
if the hair is rubbed off the heads OF
the little girls; What does factory

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

WIFI you workingmen vote for a

grafton? demand the democratic
campaign shoutorS. VIII you work
imgmou vote for a man who bounced
all the white washerwomen out Of
the White House and employed Chi

Of their country. And of such is

lie. By such appeals the choice Of

Washington we bought ticket and
went 10 hear him. We heard his

were uncomplimentary enough to

Oh, what a pitiful thing it is to
see men who have for years, and
with some ability, been preaching
political, social, or financial reform,
falling down now and putting on
the yokeond picking up the crumbs,
the dirty crumbs and greasy morseIs
tossed them from the tables of the
big rascals, Hungry. OF course
and that is hard to bear. But you
would not have staryed-not actu-
ally have starved, And, even were
that probable, would it not be better
to starye, to die some way, than to
survive on such terms as theY would
bind you to? No; we are not bitter,
not rcsentful-only full of pity and

so, and seems as though it must con-
tinue to be so until a far distant
period. -HayeS Valley Adrertiyer.
