Working Women's Morals.

Having statisticized about everything
else, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, commits
sioner of labor, has at length turned his
attention to the moral character of wo-
men who work for their living. After
inspection of stores and factories in the
principal cities of the Union the COM
missioner kindly remarks:
From oil that can be learned, one need not hesi-
tate in asserting that the working women of the
country are as honest and virtuous as any class
Of our citizens
This is Judgment truly worthy Of
Bunsby. 1t is not likely, is it, that a
woman steals if she tolls eight or ten
hours a day, year in and year out, six
days in the week, or that she has much
time to dissipate nights if she must rise
at 5 or o'clock in the morning to reach
her place of business in timer
Why indeed should not working wo-
men be as ''moral" as any other people!
There seems to be an assumption. here
which almost gives the inference that if
a woman works for her living she could
hardly be expected to be as "honest and
as virtuous" as other people.
The truth is that the general morality of
working women is considerably higher
than that of idle, fashionable women.
Satan today finds mischief for idle hands
quite as frequently as at any period Of
the world. Certainly, it is plain as the
nose on a mans face that if a woman
earns her bread by labor, she does not
get it in any questionable way.
Mr.. Wright finds that, owing to the
crowded condition of New York, work
ing girls are worse off there than in any
other city. He finds, also. that foreign
born employers are often more consider
ate of their help than native Americans,
and 1.-The kindest proprietor in the world
is a Jew of the better class.
Now let Mr.. Wright institute hunt
into the moral character Of women who
do not work for their living.

A Cburcb a5O years old.

Quincy, Mass, has had a celebration
of more, than local interest. The first
church there commemorated fttingly
the 25Oth anniversary of its foundation.
Governor John Winthrop was present at
the signing of the contract that formed
its original members into an organized
body. Generation after generation OF
Adamses, Quincys and other old New
England families have worshiped with
in its walls, which contain memorial tab
lets to the two Adams presidents. Eight
generations of men have passed since
the church organization was founded
here, yet the society still endures, a mon
ument to the gospel of peace and good
will. Charles Francis Adams, grandson
of John Quincy Adams, delivered one
address, and Josiah Quincy. the sixth Of
the line, another, and G. P. Cranch read
a poem at the celebration.
War has thundered and peace has
smiled upon our land over and again,
yet within and about the historic roof Of
the first church the gentle domestic
scenes Of JOY and grief have followed
each.other uninterruptedly for two and
half centuries. Fair daughters have
been born and reared to comely maiden
hood, been welded within its walls,
have faded and grown old and been
carried from. its kindly doors to the
burial ground, to be followed in time by

A Clear Head.

This is the testimony of one who,
though middle aged, probably can still
do more writing in all hour and stick to
it more hours than any other journalist
living.
It is indeed the universal testimony
that he who rises from the ranks, wheth-

Carving on Peach Stones.

Properzia di Rossi, maiden of rare
beauty, great refinement and unusual
education, gave herself very early in
life to the study of art. Minute trac-
cry" was her forte. The first work of
this gifted girl was carving on a peach
stone the crucifxion of our Saviour
work comprising many figures, execu-
tioners, disciples. women and soldiers;
all most remarkable for delicacy and
perfection of expression, and an admir-
able distribution of the groups. In the
cabinet of gems in the gallery of Florence
is still to be seen a cherry stone on which
is carved a chorus Of sainta, in which
seventy heads may be counted.
Among other women of the Sixteenth
century noted as sculptors, fresco paint
ers and engravers, one of Titian's pupils,
Irene di Spilimherg, highly educated,
surrounded by luxury and with every
thing beautiful about her, devoted her
self wholly to art. Some of her works
are still extant, and she must have used
her time and energies to great purpose,
for she died at the age Of 19.-Harpers

The five men indicted were mostly
persons of high political standing, and
some of them of excellent social position.
The laws vengeance in New York is be-
coming almost as proverbially swift as
Jersey Justice" If convicted, the PEN
itentiary doors will close on some OF
these gentlemen.
This case may also have the effect to
change the law of some Of the states in
regard to divorce proceedings. Itisper-
missible in these states to have the di-
vorce testimony removed from open
court and given simply in private, be-
fore referee, who makes such report
as he chooses. This was how Sheriff
Flack's divorce was obtained. The
law was supposed to withdraw from
the public ear and eye scandalous
and unpleasant stories. But the abuse
to which it is liable to be put is
so plain that the grand jury who pre-
sented the indictment against the Flack
conspirators recommend that the prac-
tice of appointing referees in divorce
cases be abolished.
In prison walls the guilty persons will
have time perhaps to remember that at
the grand round up of human life and
action there is nothing that can succeed
quite so we'll as golden, honor bright
honesty. 1t is fact that there is no.
body so easily deceived as the person
who is constantly trying to deceive
others. He loses in time his power OF
seeing things as they actually are, loses
the nice discrimination of fact. Simple,
straightforward truth and honesty in
accomplishing a purpose are better than
all crookedness, better than all guile.

The Mornons.

The law that has come nearest to deal
ing with the Mormon question success
fully is the Edmunds law. Under it
there have been 700 convictions al
ready.
The annual report of the Utah COM
mission contains some interesting infor-
nation, as we'll as significant sugges-
ton. We learn from this report that
polygamy is dying out, at least out
wardly. "Polygamy is not at the pres
cnt time openly practiced. except in
few remote and out of the way places. ;"
The Gentle element insist, however, that
clandcstinely there are still hundreds of
many wived saints, and that plural mar
riases are still solemnized in secret.
However, if polygamy is practiced
secretly, that is a very great gain over
few years ago Then it was practced
openly and launtingly. in defiance OF
every law the United States made pre-
vious to the Edmunds law. 1t shows
that these people no longer openly defy
the whole United States.
AS long as convicted polygamists are
regarded us martyrs, and it is glory to
serve term in the penitentiary, the
commission do not think it will be safe
to admit Utah as state. Once in the
Union. witt, the power OF state laws and
statehood, the Mormon thcOcracy would
drive every Gentle and Il free civiliza
ton out of Utah. So If tue saints knock
ut the door during the present congress
the answer should be: Not this year"
Finally, the commission call attention
in decided terms to the fact that while
we refuse to let China!uen. contract la.
borers and paupers land upon our shores.
our doors are wide open to the army of
Mormon immigrants.
Hordes are brought here to swell the ranks oi
IN organized body which teaches them in advance
to hate our government, denominates its execu
tive, law makers, judges and prosecutors as per
secutors and instils into every mind the constant
teaching that their pretended revelations are
more binding than the highest and best laws OF
the land, and that resistance to such lawn is a
virtue and a rendering of obedience to God How
far short of treason these teachings are we leave
to those who can answer.

Discussion about what shall be our ma
tional flower has succeeded the conun-
drum, "Is marriage failure?' A
southerner has added some light to the
subject by suggesting that we adopt as
our national emblem the cotton bloom.
1t is significant and emblematical of the
source of much of our wealth. Why not
prepare design mingling the cotton
bloom gracefully and artistically with
the corn tassel? Thus our two great
sources of wealth will be symbolized i'll
union. Moreover, in this design would
also be symbolized the equal, united
north and south. Here's to the corn tas-
sci and cotton bloom INTERVIEWING for

The success of novels founded on Scrip

The success of novels founded on Scrip
ture subjects is at present something re-
markable. Those dealing with the life
and times of Christ are the most popu-
lar, and '.Ben Hur" leads them all. There
is profound significance in this return of
the popular mind to the old faiths in an
age of such far reaching skepticism and
materialism. Spiritually we seem tend
ing back to the times of two thousand
years ago. Professor George Ebers in
Germany, Rider Haggard in England
and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in America
are ali now writing Scriptural novels.
But it is not likely there can be more
than ons "Ben Hur."

The American Economist, high tariff,
thinks it is probably true that the day

passed. These have already gone to the

Sir Edwin Arnold said he admired tre-
mendously the vivacity, push and dash
of American newspapers, and he thought
they would be about perfect if they were
more serious and dignified. But if they
were more serious and dignified they
would not have their "vivacity, push

An International Episode.

It was nothing less than an outrage,
the indignity put upon highly respect
able American family man by Bismarck's
burly minions in Germany.
Mr.. Howard Douglas, of Cincinnati, is
one of the mildest hammered of men. He
has been president of the Cincinnati
board of education for several terms.
Thus it will be seen that he was per-
meated through and through with re-
spectability. In all the queer things that
have been done in Cincinnati and else
where in the state of Ohio, Mr.. Douglas
had no hand. He is man of peace.
This summer he made the tour of Eu-
rope with his wife. His face ought to
have insured his safety anywhere, for
Mr.. Douglas is very good looking man.
Besides, he had letter from Secretary
Blaine.
But in Germany this first class citizen
was not saved by all these favorable cir
cumstances. Nothing saved him. He
was arrested as Nihilist and thrown
into a bastile. He had in his trunk a
parcel containing asthma medicine. The
German minions pounced upon this as
an eagle swoops upon lamb in the old
school readers. They felt it, they smelt
it. Dynamite! The perspiration stood
in drops on their Teutonic brows, and
their Teutonic hair stood on end. Trem-
blingly they hurried the American school
board president before their superior.
He showed his letters, he begged and ex-
planned in the choicest Cincinnati ver-
nacular.
No CO. At least, it was not for good
while. The luckless asthma medicine
to a chemist sent must be-, and itself
officially analyzed let be must, the
German interpreter told Mr.. Douglas.
A powerful guard with outstanding eyes
was then stationed around the respect
able American. Not till his asthma
medicine was boiled. bubbled, burnt,
stepped, precipitated and winnowed by
a group of specialized German chemists
was he allowed to go. German men of
science do not hurry
But this is not the last of the outrages
TO which he was subjected. In Belgium
the customs officials arrested his dress
suit and confiscated it. Whether there
is anything suspicious in the appearance
OF a dress suit made in Cincinnati the
dispatches do not say. But certain it is
that the Belgian customs officials arc the
richer by an Ohio mans evening dress.
Perhaps, like George Washington's drab
coat and breeches, it will adorn at last
some museum of history.

An Old Story and an Old Moral.

Our readers are familiar with the ac-
count of how the high sheriff of New
York got divorce from himself on his
wife's behalf, and kindly saved her any
bother in the proceedings by not letting
her know anything about it till it was all
over. The Indictment by the grand jury
of Sheriff Flack and Ave of his cocoon
spirators will have tendency to bring
the whole happy crew to their senses.
They will find that getting a fraudulent
divorce through perjury and secrecy is
not such ''private matter as Sheriff
Flack claimed it was. One of the in
dicted individuals is Flack's own son,
another is a judge and lawyer, while
third Is the referee himself, before whom
