The Women Of Corsica.

The women of Corsica are devoted
to their husbands, and willingly sacri-
flee everything to their demands. A
wife considers herself the complement
of the man, not his equal. In the
house she keeps discreetly in the back
ground. Says the London Queen: "At
mealtime wife and daughters will not
sit down with her guests, but hover
about as attendants. Out of doors the
men 60 forth to work gun in hand,
while the women walk behind carry
ing the heavy tools. If the happy
couple have to climb steep and stony
path, and they happen to possess only
one horse, it is the man who bestriGes
the wiry-limbed beast, while the wife
may consider herself lucky if she be
permitted to catch hold of the strip
leather or the horses tall"

A committee from the Boston clothing
trade unions has been investigating the
condition of the clothing manufacturing
trade in New York. The wages of the
clothing workers have been steadily de-
creasing in Boston and work has become
scarcer there. The Boston unions heard
that New York had been taking away
much of the business and a committee
was sent on to investigate. What the
Bostonians have done and learned the
New York Times thus tells:
They visited the east side districts
where clothing is given out to work and
have come to the conclusion that the
sweating system which was exposed
some time ago was the cause of the de-
cline of wages and the withdrawal of
much of the trade from Boston. They
describe the condition Of the working
people who are engaged in the sweat
ing work as miserable in the extreme,
worse than that of plantation negroes
during the time of slavery in the South.
Men women and children crowded into
small, hot rooms, where they live and
cook and work for starvation wages IA
hours and more out Of the "a. Among
the places visited by the committee was
a five story house, occupied by several
sweater contractors. One man employed
eight men in small room and worked
| them IA hours a day. Some people in
this building worked from 4 o'clock in
the morning to o'clock in the evening.
Other sweaters paid their hands 80 cents
for making coat, and others paid their
hands from S. to $S per week. One
man, who employed Is men and made
them work 16 hours a day, paid them
not in money, but in clippings of the
cloth, which they had to pawn for
money.
How grateful those poor miserable
things-inGorrectly called human beings
must feel to the greatest protective
system the world has ever known. Did
slavery worse than this ever exist? And
yet we are told that protection (oh, thou
most delusive snare) is for our benefit.
Away with such benevolence, Americans
want none of it. Send it back to the
barbarous Algerians, from whence it
came.

SEEING all British or other vessels
on the coast of Alaska that happen to
have Behring Sea seals on board, may
be an alluring and exciting sort of
exercise for the United States rev.
enue cruiser Rush's crew, but it is a
thing over which the government will
do well to hold a taut check rein and
about which the commander of the
Rush should be instructed to go back
or his name-and, instead of rushing,
to so very slow. Smaller things than
that have led aforetime to ugly and
angry alterations. The people are
not in favor of such foreign policy,
and Secretary Blaine should under
stand it.

That news about the resolution of
the Soldiers Orphans School Com
mission to abandon the syndicate's
schools appears to have been of the
kind classed as "too good to be true" 3"
At least it seems to be somewhat pre-
mature. A member of the commits
sion states that final action has not
yet been taken. The commission,
however, ought to hasten at its next
meeting to make good the announce
ment already published by shutting
out the syndicate altogether from all

THE Philadelphia Press, comment
ing on our approaching judgeship
contest, says: "The Democrats of
Luzerne County would show excellent
judgment by endorsing Judge Rice if
he is nominated. His impartiality
on the bench and his ability as a
iurist has been amply demonstrated
during his career on the Common
Pleas bench of Luzerne County"
We doubt if his impartiality or ability
could dbe questioned, but a Democratic
county is not likely to endorse Re
publican, while there are plenty of
competent men ready to step into his
shoes. Ex-Judge Rice would sound

The decay of New England's iron
and woolen manufactures has led tc
the revival of the demand, once
earnestly supported by Henry VII
son, Senator Hoar and other Repub-
lican leaders of that section, for ''free
iron, free coal, free lumber, free wool Z"
But no, say the modern protection
organs, Pennsylvania will not consent
to free pigiron, nor Ohio to free wool,
nor Michigan to free lumber. The
manufacturers may be so handicapped
by the enhanced cost of raw materials
that they cannot compete with foreign
producers even in our own market,
but no link of the tariff chain must
be broken. There will be "tariff-
smashing" in earnest one of these
days.-N y. World

How quickly threatened reduction

How quickly threatened reduction
in wages makes men scamper back to
their organization? An illustration
of this was seen in New York last
week when Typographical Union No.
6 was notified that new scale (com-
monty called a reduction) was soon to
go in effect. At the monthly meeting
on Sunday afternoon, which is usually
attended by only two Or three hun
dred persons, nearly every one of the
seventeen hundred members were
present, and they sent back an en-
phatic "NO" to their employers.
That settled it; there will be no reduc-
ton there for some time. The "Big
Six" will submit to no encroachment
upon their rights, and why should
they, with the most compact organi-
zation in America standing behind
him? Workingmen, organization is
your only salvation, and not high
tariffs or low tariffs, which have nc
more to do with wages than the moon.

deserted her for two years, during which
time she had lived in Chicago, she was

this result by fishing up forgotten de-

the Court held that Gin contemplation

The ease with which a divorce may be
procured in Chicago has long been a
fruitful theme for the newspaper para
grapher. Last week another bar was
removed. 1t has been the practice of
the courts to hold that the applicant for
divorce must be resident of that state,
and must appear in person.
Both of these requirements were
waived in the case of Mary Gottschalk,
a resident of Pennsylvania. She was
never in Chicago in her life, and on her

A JOURNAL like the New York Ece,,-
ing Post cannot well be accused of
treason or even of disrespect to our
country's flag, and in speaking of the
efforts of some people to put flags on
all public buildings, school houses,
etc, it says: "This has been recon-
monded by some Republican organs,
and q bill providing such flag for
every school house in Pennsylvania
came near being rushed through the
Legislature thoughtlessly last winter,
but was finally defeated when its i'm
propriety came to be recognized.
Schools are supported by the State,
and if any flag were to be displayed
over the school house it should be the
state flag. But it would be absurd
to display any flag over school house
every day. If the national flag were
to be displayed everywhere all the
time, it would lose nine-tenrs Of the
impressiveness which it now possesses
when brought out on proper occasion.
The poorest compliment the flag has
met of late was its use last year as a
pocket-handkerchief by members OF a
political party"

Of yesterday in repeated vain efforts to
elect President They were to have
assembled at 10 o'clock, but II was lO;45
before Chairman Mclaughlin called the
body to order. Aballot, being the 92Oth,
was taken, and Mr., Dobbins received
four votes, Mr., Tyler four, and these
two gentlemen voted for other members,
After a pause another one was taken,
and this was repeated until the 920th
ballot had been taken without making
any change in the result, After these
ten ballots Mr., Cruise moved that the
Board go into executive session, which
was done,
The secret session had no better result
than the open ones, and after some time
spent behind closed doors the Board
took recess until ap,m.
In the afternoon II was again consider
ably after the time set before the Board
was called to order. The members spent
the time meanwhile In chatting and con-
ierring, When the session did open, the
only matter OF interest was resolution
