WOMEN IN THE TRADES-ETC.

Women in England have engaged IN
the carpenters trade. number of them,
and the new order of things seems to
work well. In France some of the best
shOers of horses are women. On the
Mississippi there is one or more women
holding certificates of master of steam
vessels. In all our cities there are MANY
momen engaged in the different Occupa-
tons, particularly as book keepers and
sales ladies. 1t is not at all unusual
now to find ladies at almost every coun-
ter in dry goods stores, and often at the
desk. We say nothing OF the telephone
girl that everyone seems to know so
well. In this state there are number
of women who have grown rich IN the
different vacations of fruit and grape
raising, etc. One of the richest persons
In Colorado Is woman. She came to
Denver years since and took charge of
the Singer sewing machine office.
She was industrious, intelligent and
withal very modest and much
of lady. She met Mr. Tiff. he loved
and married her. He died, leaving a
fortune of $75.O00,000 She is now the
wife of one of the Methodist bishops.
Mr.. Wright mentioned many cases where
women have achieved marked success
by their own energy and interchangeable
perseverance. The professions have dur
ing the last series of years opened wide
their door to them. The law, medicine
and theology have received some able
recruits from among the noble women of
the world. We would not like to see
women dress as men do, we are so ac-
to the other way, but we note
rs one of the signs of the times the fact
that women are entering every walk of
life. They seek to vote now, and perhaps
will some day vote and hold Office in all
the states. Why not? One of the best
lectures to which we ever listened was
delivered by woman, and one of the
best sermons we ever heard was by a
woman. ''Cook the dinner, wash the
dishes, sweep the house and rock the
cradle used to constitute the
round of duties of the house
wife. 1t is different now Wonder
how it will be hundred years from
now? Wonder if the men will not do
the cooking and take care of the children?
We have no special grudge against the
coming race of men, but we almost hope
this change will come about.
But what looks very pretty to us, in
deed, is to see a mother with her child
rem at home, leading the little minds in
the highway Of pure thought, leading
them by her pure life and Christian de-
votion up to the highest plane of living.
Women appear best presiding over the
homes of the land, and we are willing, if
they are, to let them hold this fort

THE COST OF THE REBELLION.

In the debate in the senate last week on
the dependent pension bill Senator Tel
Ter had occasion to use the data contained
the subjoined extract from his speech:
facts that are as surprising as they are
new to most persons, as to the magni-
tude of the great war and the stupen-
dous expense involved. Directing his
remarks FOR the moment to Senator Vest
who had preceded him, Senator Teller
asked:

the rebellion has cost: Does he know
how much il has taken out of the people
of the United States: Eight hundred

A GREAT INIQUITY.

Dispatches from Washington and AL
bany state that the beginning of active
operations in congress and the New York
legislature to investigate the modern con-
spiracies of trusts, is creating great con-
sternation among the men VINO have
organized these aggregated syndicates of
capital for the purpose of killing off all
competition and increasing the price of
commodities by decreasing the amount
of products. The Des MONIES Register,
in commenting upon the methods en-
ployed in these schemes, cbaracterizes
them as double robbery. for the reason
that they decrease the employment of
labor to begin with by decreasing
the out put of mines and factor
les, and by thus narrowing the volume
of products, and by destroying all COM
petition, puts up the prices on the people
and consumers. 1t is the very genius of
the shrewdness of bloodless capital. Dis
patches from Washington and Albany
say that as subpoenaS are being issued for
witnesses who are concerned in these
trusts. others who are connected with
them are taking precpitate flight in or
der to avoid being summoned before the
congressional or legislative committees
of investigation. All the syndicates or
trusts are organized on written secret
agreements, emphasized and covenanted
under extreme penalties. The legisla-
ture at Albany and the investigating
committee at Washington are calling
for these agreements, and if these agree
ments are not produced or destroyed in
order to prevent their production before
the committee, the parties to the trusts
are to be put on oath and compelled to
give the facts. The committees have
enough information concerning the agree
ment to make it too perilous for the
parties to them to resort TO perjury in
order TO cover up their operations. So
those who fear being called are seeking
safety in flight.
All the legislatures now in session are
being propelled by the force of public
opinion TO take up this new evil for in
vestigation and legislative correction. 1t
is sudden growth, the device of the
last year or two and the resort of aggre-
gated capital to prevent competition and
arbitrarily control and advance prices.
The matter has thus suddenly grown to
be serious one. and unless checked in
calculable injury must, i'll the very ma
ture of things. enure TO the community
at large. The steps taken, as above. to
check the operations and influence of
these evils which, like Jonah's gourd.
have grown up in night, are not taken
too soon. Let them be followed up by
others wherever it may be necessary to
put an effective estoppel upon such oper-
atoms.

The first arrest in the United States for
a violation of the interstate commerce
law has just been made at Hannibal in
this state, where the grand jury has re-
turned an indictment against the agent
of the Missouri Pacific railroad at that

greater compensation for Transporting
goods than was allowed under the law.
The defendant was taken before the

the bond of $1,000 to make appearance
at the next term of the United States
