CANADIAN LOYALTY.

AT the present time when the ques-
tion of annexation of The United States
and Canada is being SO thoroughly dis
cussed, the following from the South
Oxfordshire (Eng.) News is worth
reading:
1.-The fisheries dispute is assuming a
curious phase. The Government ROW
holding power in Canada is perhaps,
without exception, the most corrupt
that the Dominion has ever had. 1t
maintained itself in place mostly by the
dispensation of subsidies and by brib-
cry out Of the enormous funds that have
been at its disposal for the construc-
tion Of canals, railways and so forth.
AS the Canadians express it, they have
retained power by dispensing doodle.
The row over the Fishery matter gives
them an opportunity which q telegram
from Canada says they are going to
avail themselves Of. They intend, it is
SAID, sending over two members of the
Government, who are to endeavor to
get a subsidy OF. q guarantee from Eng

THE telegraph brings an account of
terrible accident which occurred On
the Lehigh Valley railroad at Mud Run,
near Pottsville, Pa, the first station
above Penn Haven, last Tuesday night.
A parade of Catholic societies took
place at Hazelton, that state, Tuesday,
and q large excursion was run from
Wilkesbarre. composed Of lodges, bands
and sight-seers from Wilkesbarre, Nan
ticoke and other points along the line
The excursion was run in two sections,
and upon the return trip the rear sec
tion ran into the forward section at
Mud Run with disastrous results. On
the return the first train left Hazelton
about p. m., the others followed as
rapidly as deemed safe. The first three
sections came through without accl-
dent, the disaster happening to the
fourth and fifth sections. For some
reason not explained the fourth section
was standing on the track near the lit
tie station Of Mud Run, Eve miles be.
low white Haven, when the ifth sec.
ton shot around curve close behind
and crashed into 1T. The cars were
crushed and broken, and hurled off the
track. The road lies close beside the
Lehigh river, q steep embankment so
feet high running down to the water.
Several Of the cars rolled down this,
and others were crushed against the
cutting on the other side. The acct
dent occurred at an out Of tbe-way
place, ard this, together with the re-
ticence of the railroad officials, makes it
difficult to obtain particulars, but it is
believed that the loss of life is close to
eighty.

POLITICAL. PARAGRAPHS.

The Republicans of that once stain
less, spotless section Of the city known
as the Eighth ward, are not happy.
They cried ''boodle" until their Threats
were sore over what they termed an
I'll lermanic STEAL" and were deter
mined that the present aldermen should
stay at home after January l, 1889.
Every friend OF these aldermen was
marked for the slaughter, in case he
should look for any Office, but while the
slouters for better government were
taking care of their own booms, the
friends of D. G.. Thompson got their
heads together and secured enough
brains to manufacture a scheme by
which Thompson would be nominated
for alderman. It was done, and the
Lawrence faction was mad at the re-
suit, and has been mad ever since.
Being proud Of their political faith,
they could not think of walking out in
the open day and kicking themselves
and the convention, too, for nomina-
ting Dan" They caucused again,
though the city convention had met
and done it's work, but it seemed to
them that more must be done to satisfy
Lawrence, Chestnut and the other dis
granted ones. Lawrence was not sat
isfed to see Cooley and Stoneman left
at home, as we'll as himself [; he wanted
more he wanted to superintend the
filling Of the holes in the streets Of the
Eight ward, and draw SIS per month
with pe1quisites. How was this to be
done with only one alderman to back
him. Two. must be elected who would
favor this semi. converted Prohibition
isl for this lucrative Office, and at last
the dissatis fed ones have struck on a
scheme to down Thompson and elevate
Lawrence. They have organized a
little band of their own, which they
term s'citizens' organization for bet
ter local government" They would
not admit-on a street corner, perhaps
they would under oath-that they are
dissatisfied with Thompson because he
is not Of their own way of thinking,
but because he is Stone1nan Cooley
man they say they will not support
him because he is not that kind OF a

FEMALE EMPLOYMENT.

The Chicago Times has been lnvesti-
eating the abuses of female employ
ment through young lady reporter
acting as peripateiic employe. The
wages are generally found to be too
low, whether by the week or the piece,
to allow any girl to enjoy an honest liv
ing, however humble. There is nothing
new Or peculiar in this. 1t is So
throughout the easy industries of New
York and all other large cities. But
none of the indignant commentators on
this shameful state Of things seem to
understand the cause Of it. Paradox
cal as it may seem, starvation wages
of two or three dollars a week become
possible in this case solely by the opera
tion Of the fact that wages are to a
great extent limited by the actual ne.
cessities Of the employe. Thousands
and tens OF thousands Of girls and BOYS
in the cities seek employment who are
not under the necessity of supporting
themselves, but who tighten the burden
of the parents little, and perhaps at
the same time dress themselves a little
better, by Cutting che market with
their labor az any price they can get.
The result is starvation and ruin to
other thousands vino must get their
whole support from their labor, but
cannot, in consequence Of this unjust
and unnecessary competition, which
suits down the wages OF salesgirls, shop
girls and the like, below the humblest
cost OF living. There is only one remedy
for this horrible state of things, and
that to great extent lies with trades
unions. They should urge upon their
members the necessity of forbidding
their daughters to work in stores at
starvation wages, thus depriving those
who are solely dependent upon their
labor for the actual necessities Of life.
Right here in the city Of Minneapolis
there are daughters OF hundreds of we'll
TODD mechanics working for two or
three dollars per week, and conse-
quently those who are compelled from
force Of circumstances TO earn their
daily bread have to work for the same
wages, through cause OF the competi
ton. This is a fit and proper question
for the trades assembly 20 discuss.
