THAT America has not ceased to be a dumping ground for the off-scourings of Europe is shown by the recent report of the New York state board of charities which speaks of the continued tendency of European countries to ship over paul pers and other helpless persons, many of whom drift into our charitable institu- tions to be cared for at the public expense. Since the passage of the law providing for their being shipped back to the coun- tries from which they were sent, 1,162 have been returned at an expense of $6, ,70S. More than three-fourths of them were from Great Britain, Ireland and Germany, which proves that those coun- tries are anxious to get back at us for taking away so many of their best class of people.

lamb might as well crave for mercy when it is in the wolf's clutches as Parnell crave for justice in courts that are manned by British tory creatures. It is for this reason that many of the most ardent Irish patriots in America think Mir Parnell is making sad blunder in wasting so much money seeking vindi- cation he can never hope to obtain.
 Not that these men would be backward in pushing the defense fund, not that they would close the purse strings of America when the latter day liberator of Ireland is on the rack, not that they favor constitutional agitation the less, but that they realize that Parnell in boarding the British lion in his own den is undertaking a struggle which he can not win at an expense that can find nothing approaching compensation in it's results. Regarding Parnell as the very highest ideal of constitutional leader, and ready to hold up his hands in every phase of battle he may wage, they are naturally impatient of methods that can bring only disappointment, de- feat and destruction. They believe in other methods, methods that look to something more tangible and real than vindication which even though obtained could add nothing to the reputation of a man whom all the world looks upon as the highest ideal of a patriot and states man.
 And.the prayer would ris that, some future day
 All danger and doubtings scorning.
 They'd help to win their native land
 The light of young libertys morning.

THE fourth annual report issued by the national bureau of labor gives some inter- esting points regarding the condition of our working women which are gathered from the female workers at 342 separate industries in twenty-two cities of the Union. The report says that until recent times women could find employment in few industries, but this has been changed and they are now at work in many, including factories for the mak- ing of clothing, furnishing goods, boots and shoes, jewelry, cigars, carpets, and in cotton mills, printing offices, book binderies, Sc. The great majority of women employed in these and other pro- ductive industries are native born and unmarried. Their remuneration varies from S100 to $500 year and the actual average weekly earnings are set down at S5.24. The total number of women interviewed in order to obtain the statis- ties was 17 ,427.

PARNELL,S DEFEAT.

The dismissal of MT Parnelrs action against Mir John Walter, registered pro- prietor of the London Times, for libel, with the taxing of costs against him, which was announced in last evening" s dispatches from Edinburgh, is not mat ter of surprise. There has never been any chance for MT Parnell ip the British courts, and great many of his most ar dent admirers would rejoice to learn that similar disposition had been made of the case before the commission.

NEVER AGAIN.

The people who are looking to Presi- dent Cleveland as an influential quantity in the political arena of 1892 are reckon ing very badly. The democratic party will never again we think pin its for tunes to a man who is not closely in touch with it. That we hardly think the most ardent admirers even of President Cleveland will have the hardihood to claim for him.
 When democrats look back on the ad- ministration that is drawing to close, when they contemplate the series of blunders that led to the disastrious defeat of last November, when they think how utterly incompetent was the leadership of the man on whom they had heaped the highest honors, how utterly regard less he was of any ambition but his own, they can hardly bring themselves to for give, much less to look again with favor upon, the individual who has encom- passed the party's downfall. Granted that from the sacred precincts of his New York law office he may pose as the AoAChoop OI LII lSlollI, ttutt granted too that he may be a powerful advocate of the doctrine that is sure to win because it is right, we cannot be- lieve that the man who has deliberately thrown away the opportunity ofintrench- ing the democracy in power for many years will be allowed to realize any am- bition that he may have to march again at the head of the democratic procession. His place henceforth is in the rear, and it is not too soon for him to begin to realize it. There are other men in the democratic ranks who have never lower ed their standard either to traitors with in or enemies beyond the ranks, and it is prudent for the democracy to begin to understand that these men and their followers will not consent to burn incense forever before the shrine of mugwump deity. It will be well for President Cleveland and his few devoted worship pers to understand that in future cam paigns democrats alone will be allowed to steer the ship.
 President Cleveland will never again be the candidate of the party. Never again
