MUCH VALUABLE INFORMATION
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-11-24
THE LATER RUsK1H ON WOMAN.

The reading world will be rejoiced to
hear that John Ruskin, who earlier in the
year was supposed to have reached that
state of physical feebleness from which
the only departure is into death, is again
so firmly upon his feet that he has gone
back to philosophic work and essay-writing.
Few modern writers have more popular
lied themselves or are more disagreed
with, and few have contributed as much
of genuine value to the better thought of
the age. Certainly none have been more
versatile; the genius OF none has taken
hold upon greater range of subjects or
addressed such a variety of tastes.
Mr.. Ruskin's re-entry into the book
world is signalized by his taking up anew
the debate concerning woman and her
sphere. He is found to be as aggressive
as of old. His claim that women of supe-
rior force in the progressiveness of the
race are those who spring from lowly
walks and those in which they have been
taught to labor, is prefaced by a sharp
thrust of the critics rapier at Shakes
peare for making all the women of his
plays "ladies" of equality" He prefers
SCOTS adoption of heroines such as Jen-
ME Deans, who are types of the women
who most affect the race for good. He
would have young men look for life part
ners among women who have been taught
the nobility of labor and self-helpfulness.
He does not hesitate to say that even by
iaboring in many of the supposed exclu-
sively masculine occupations woman is
not out of place or unsexing herself. His
hatred of the barbarity" of idle gentle
women and gentlemen is as unconcealed as
in his earlier writings.
When Ruskin was 81 (ls7D he said, in
his preface to "Queen's Gardens to girls
who would hear him: "They must not
think that they are the darlings of the
Heavens and the faYorites of the Fates.
That it is fact-unpleasant as you may
think it; pleasant it seems to me-that
yon, with all your pretty dresses
and dainty looks and kindly

A NEW CRUSADE.

Elsewhere We publish a Economically
interesting account of the crusade of Car
dinal Lavigerie upon the slave-traders of
Africa. In modern history there is no
record of proposed adventure more inspir-
ing or speculatively thrilling. This de-
voted priest is about to enter upon a task
that has engaged the armies of nations
unsuccessfully for nearly half century
He proposes to enter the heart of Africa
with a picked body of men-700 in num-
ber-arm the tribes upon whom the Arab
slave-stealers have so long proved, and
teach them not only how to defend, but to
lead in assault. Inspired by the instinct
of self-preservation, he expects these in
terror tribes to successfully defend their
homes, and to follow up that defense by
attacks upon the brutal Arabs who pillage
the towns and butcher all who resist alb
duction, and to follow these dealers in
human beings with shot and sword to the
very verge of their own land. While the
crusaders great numbers of whom have
volunteered, thus marshal the millions of
Africa against their Arab enemies, the
priest and his co-workers will SOW the seeds
of better civilization and plant the ban
ners of Christian peace and conquest
among the people. The devoted Cardinal,
than whom none are more familiar with
Africa and its central tribes, has fred
Europe with enthusiasm for his enterprise.
and money and supplies roll in upon him
in ample quantity. There is reason to
look for his success. His cause is that of
humanity, his end the aim of civilization.
He goes out as the soldier militant to de-
fend a people against these stealers of
human beings and to teach them the art
Of protecting themselves against the Arab
horde that at midnight swoop down upon a
town or village and carry off tic Turkish
slavery and infamy such of the inhabi-
tants as they do not put to the sword or as
do not escape their inhumanity. The
world will applaud Lavigeries crusade
and give him that moral and material
support that is essential to crown his
scheme with success.

MITCHELL TALKS BIG.
he WIN Give Dempsey $1,000 to Stand
Up for Eight Rounds.

New YORK, November 23i.-A special to the
World from Philadelphia says: Referring TO the
attack recently made on him by Jack Dempsey
Charley Mitchell said to-day:
" won't call dempsey infamous names for

will be without middle-weight champion

sheets of hotel note-papcr, on which was writ
ten a challenge in which Mitchell says:

OF LABOR STATISTICS.

The Commissioner of the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics for this State, J. J. Tobin.
has filed his report with the Governor
There are very many interesting chapters
in the work indeed, none are without
value. Its compactness and directness are
in strong contrast to the volumlnous char
acter, involved method ard indirectness of
the previous reports. The statistics have
been more inteligently gathered, as is
apparent, but still not extensively; in
deed, that the officer was hasty and had
not time sufficient, is clear. We assume
this fault to be attributable to the brief
time in which the Commissioner has held
the Office, and the very small amount of
State allowance for the cost of gathering
the statistics. No man can extensively
gather and present statistics, or so as to
Justify repose of confidence in them and
settlement upon conclusions, except he
has, besides the intelligence, time to de-
liberately study the subjects involved, and
is possessed of the means and machinery
for ascertaining every fact extensively,

thoughts and sanity aspirations, are
not one whit more thought OF or loved by
the Great Maker and Master than any
poor little red, black or blue savage run
ming Wild in the pestilent woods or naked
on the hot sands Of the earth" He then
proceeded to tell them that their two
faults Of any consequence are idleness and
cruelty; that whatever else they might be,
they must not be useless and cruel. They
"must work while they have light; be
me0ciful while they have mercy" He
added: BESIDES the more delicate work
lof the MUSHROOM, the drawing class, etc.,
resolve to dc every day some that is useful
in the vulgar sense" In the lecture itself
he emphasizes the introduction by protest
ing against the idea that woman is only
the shadow and attendant image of her
lord, owing him thoughtless and seryile
obedience, and supported altogether in her
weakness by the pre-eminence of his forti-
tude." His idea of woman, then, was, as
it remains, that " the souls armor is never
well set to the heart unless womans
hand has braced it; and it is only when
she braces it loosely that the honor of
manhood fails" To man he accorded
active, progressive, defending and discov-
ering power; TO woman " the power to rule
not for battle, but for sweet ordering, ar
rangement and decision. She sees the
qualities of things, their claims and their
places. Her great function is praise; she
enters into no contest, but infallibly judges
the crown of contest"
In his later work he tells Us much the
same, but does not mean to be understood
as saying that woman should, for the de
velopment of her power, hold the pillow or
ply the hayfork, but that young women
must make up their minds not to sit still
in idleness. He goes beyond the reality
in his praise Of the many perfect women"
to be met with in Switzerland. The women
of the Alpine region certainly know how
to work, but it is not matter Of
choice with them That they are hap
pier and better because not idle, is unques-
tionably true.
