A NEEDED REFORM.
Legislation Necessary for the Protection
of Working Women.

Necessary for the Protection
of Working Women.
There are grave features now incl
dent to the promiscuous association OF
girls and women, with employees and
officials of the opposite sex in factories,
mills and work shops which call loudly
for reform, effectual and speedy. The
indignities to which feeble innocence IS
often subjected are sometimes so cruel,
that the patient sufferer, throwing
aside the modest instincts of her nature,
which had too long forbidden a proper
appeal for protection, makes 1T known
through proper channels, when the
public become for the time aroused and
give voice to a righteous indignation.
There are cases where coarse and i'm
moral men have been punished, and re-
form introduced in isolated cases, as q
result of these sporadic exposures, but
no legal measures have been adopted
looking toward a general reform oil
the evils of the condition of which we
refer.
We are glad to know, however, that
initiative steps have been taken in the
matter by Mrs. Barry, true friend o.
her sex and an earnest worker for the
advancement of women. This lady ha:
herself been an employe in mills ant
factories, and is therefore the better
qualified for the performance OF thu
great work she has begun. 1t is he
purpose to secure legislation in tn
| premises and to have women Inspector
appointed, whose personal characte
and whose official position as officers o
the State shall command the respec
alike of employer and employe.
shall be the required duty OF these in
spectors that they shall give their per
sonal attention to the surveillance OF a
establishments in which both sexes ar
employed. This would, we believe, b
an effectual remedy for the evil an
would safely protect the interests Of a
concerned. Woman World.

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

~,aau,,,+ services of Noble Women |
Ignored While the Basest OF Men nA'0
Part In the Laws of State
Year by year, almost montn ny
month. we carry to their graves the
noblest women, whose lives nave Oeeu
blessings to the community. The news
paper press on such occasions geher>
ously bestows its praise Tor the serVlco
such women have rendered. IL reports
with good will the posts they nelo
which blessed the State and the nation
Their private virtues and their mest.-
mable worth are duly credited. All
this is right as it should be. Du' tlio
pity of it is that these women, able anu
wise and interested to have good gov
eminent, are excluded by the laws u
the State from any power to help maKs
it so. Is it not time to consider WnaS
the State loses by such exclusion!
Even as a matter of good policy, to say
nothing of principle, is it worth wnlle
to continue to hold the sex to which
Abby w. May, Louisa Alcott, Lucretla
Croker, and Lydia Maria Child pc
longed, to the political status ACCORDED
to idiots, lunatics and felonsP
Take the case of Miss May, the peer
less woman who was lately carried 10
her grave. Miss Mays life was con-
slant benediction. When the last war
came it was at her home that the Sanl-
tarv Commission was organized, ana o.
this branch of it she was president until
| the close of the war. She was one o.
the founders of the New England hos
pital for Women and Children. She
was the treasurer of the Cooperative
Dwelling-house Society. She was one
of the founders of the New England
Woman's Club, of the Woman's Con
gress. and of the horticultural Schoo
for Women. The Governor appolntet
her on the State Board of Education
which post she held for eight years
She was four years on the Boston Schoo
Board. All these were responsloi
posts and nobly filled But the law 9
the State put Miss May politically wit
the ignorant, imbecile and crlmlna
classes among men, denying her vote
lust as it denies it to them. The me
from the gutter have votes to make 10
Government and laws worse. MIS-
Nav had none to make them better
though she was always petitioner tc
her right to vote. The pity of it is th'
all the folly and wickedness among me
represents itself in the Government
while the wisdom and worth of wome
, is denied any share in it.-Lucy Ston

[ Soldiers Report Delayed
Tcenty-fce Years.

Drduley L. johnson With q
squad Of Maryland cavalry in
to Hagerstown to see if any
Yankee troops were in that
town. Yesterday morning,
twenty-five years later, Lieu
tenant Shearer walked into
General Johnson's office and
laughingly reported that he
had found plenty of Yankees
there. He would have re-
ported sooner, he said, but cir
cumstances beyond his control
prevented him. The fact is,
he had been taken prisoner in
Hagerstown and confined in
Fort Delaware. Lieut.. Shear
er went into the confederate
army in May, 1861, and served
through the war in the Mary
land Line, except during the
intervals when he was in pris-
on. After the war he went to
Idaho. His curiosity and love
of adventure had not been en-
tirely gratified by his four
years experience in the con-
federate army, and he engaged
in the Indian wars in the west.
He now carries somewhere in
his body two bullets as souve-
Mrs of the notorious Nez
Perces, Chief Joseph, who,
ten years ago, made one of the
most famous resistances to
United States troops that has
taken place since the Black
Hawk war. The Confederate
Lieutenant Shearer is now Ma
jor Shearer, having won his
commission as major in the
Territorial Volunteers. He
has served several terms in the
Idaho Legislature and is now
clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court in that territory.
This is the first time he has
been east since the close Of the
war. and he felt in duty bound
to make his report to his gem
eral-a report which, though
long delayed, got there just
the same. While a prisoner at
Fort Delaware Lieutenant She
arer was the victim ola curious
mistake. A man whose name
was the same as his had been
convicted by court-martial at
Fort McHenry of killing the
provost marshal of Martins
burg, w. Va. and had been
sentenced to fifteen years PEN
al servitude. He escaped from
Fort Nc Henry just about the
time Lieutenant Shcarer was
taken to Fort Delaware. Gen. |
Morris, commandant Of Fort
McHenry, heard of the arrest
and sent an order to put Lieu
tenant Shearer at work at
once. The Lieutenant natur-
ally demonstrated against this.
on proving an alibi.
He was promptly marched off
before two bayonets, however,
and put to work with the chain
gang, clad in the uncomfort-
able, if picturesqe, costume of
a convict. On his way, while
with his guards, he
met Union officer who knew
him, and who Immediately had
him sent to Fort McHenry for
Identification Some time pre-
vious to his capture in Hagers-
own Lieutenant Shearer had
oeen captured and confined in
Fort Nc Henry and had escaped.
When he was taken before
General Morris for Identified
ion that officer recognized him
1t once, but, not recollecting
he circumstances, said he was
he man who had been sem
.enced. 1t took his whole
staff to convince him to the
contrary. The Shearer then
standing before him was six
'eet two and a half inches tall,
while the escaped Shearer was
)ut five feet and six inches in
height. He was then sent 10
he Old Capitol prison, whence
he escaped while the guards
we're within fifteen feet Of him.

Of forcible article on the Great Fraud
says: "Without waiting for investiga-
ton or inquiry, Messrs. White, Blake and
Walker met Monday for barely a single
minute and instantly adjourned leaving y
memorandum behind them telling what
they had consented to do. The reasons
for their action are false and misleading
The court proceedings at the mandamus
hearing, Of which every member Of the
board had full information, did not show
that the vote at precinct "a was "false
and fraudulent as the canvassers state
No evidence that the vote was not fail
and honest was ever adduced and NJ
charge of fraudulent voting was ever
made. But it isas idle to review the facts
and the evidence for men who are no.
governed by facts or evideuce as itwould
be to quote the revised statutes to the

SPEAKING OF the new parties to the
steal--that is, the state canvassing board
the Butte Miner says: sit rejected the
entire vote cast at the Tunnel precinct in
this county as to all the candidates and il
did so Notwithstanding it was in posses
sion Of the returns for that precinct leg
ally certified to by the clerk and recorder
for this county, and notwithstanding the
further and supreme fact, that copy Of
the peremptory writ Of mandamns issued
out of the district court in this city com
manding that the vote of said precnc'
should be counted as to the legislati, G
tic'~et and the office Of district judge, was
attached. Tie state board Of canvassers
not only went behind the returns, which
is in direct violation of the law, but il
treated an order of court with contempt
an attempt which is revolutionary in it,
character, damnable, therefore, in its con
sequences and should consign it perpe
traitors to everlasting ignominy."
