DAMAGES PAID-In November last the
steamer Excelsior, under the command Of
Capt. S. & Davis, OF this city, while coming
up thu bay was run into by British steam
or, which carried away part of hsr upper
works. Yesterday the agents of the British
steamer paid So 500 to the company owning
the Excelsior-the amount of damages sus
tanned by the latter vessel.
Ia August last the steamer George Lsary.
under command of Capt. Davis, while in the
Norfolk harbor was run into bye barge and
slightly damaged. The owners of the barge
have paid the full amount of the damages
done to the Leary.
These payments were made without re-
course to law, and shows that Capt. Davis
was not at fault in either of the collisions.

tress than of themselves they are
natural cooks, and learn our ways
with little trouble.
There has lately been a scarcity
in the supply of cooks. and good
cooks are harder and harder to
obtain, and when found they are
asking higher wages. l suppose
the planter would never be at any
loss for domestic service, for he
can take some of his "agricultur-
alists for this work, but how
about the others of us who live in
towns, and have no plantation, only
shop, or store or Office? 1t may
be 1 write in woman's ignorance
of affairs" but if the planter is to
be obliged to follow his "agricul-
tural laborer up so close and
sharp with his photograph and his
registry and his bond, with his re-
ward for the apprehension of any
runaway, and the fine for any har-
boring of the same or the giving of
employment to him, how is it ever
going to be possible for any weak
woman to get at him, bristling with
all these guards and defenses, to
make u domestic servant out of
him?
Except in the case of smuggling,
q woman stands in wholesome awe
of the law. Now, if the laws the
legislators are just now making,
are made to be kept, l foresee
nothing but shortly a great dearth
of domestic servants unless there
is door aJar for the housekeeper
in Section y, under the Special
Residence Permit bill, do you call
it. In this section the proper Min
lister may for cause shown by the
person holding the permit, extend
the term of special residence for
five years.
Mr.. Editor, can you tell US, is
there q CLEAN of hope there for the
housewife? To one woman, at least,
it does seem as though the subject
Of domestic service for a whole ma
ton, might be Of Importance
enough to receive consideration in
settling the labor question. No out
side thing has so much to do with
the peace Of the family as good
service, and the household service
comes nearer to the heart of the
housewife than plantation labor.
We have no voice in the Legisla-
ture-" we haven't come to that
yet" Who will speak for US?

is manifest in him? Truly, in that

Protective Tariffs and the Labor
Problem.

ADOANAh'
Mr.. EDITOR: A recent article in
the Forum, calls attention to some
facts in connection with recent
political and economic changes that
are deserving of notice in connec-
ton with the proposed solution of
our own labor problem. Nearly all
the Governments of Christendom
have, within the last twenty years,
adopted the principle of protection
in their Legislative enactments.
Some political writer's have ex-
planned this change of policy as
due to increased production and
fercer competition. But the article
in the Forum points out some polit-
zeal changes as the occasion for this
change of legislative policy; and as
the influential factor. Between 1860
and 1873, the policy of free trade
was in the ascendant, and the ag-
gregate volume of trade increased
one hundred per cent, while the
population increased only seven per
cent. Between 1870 and 1890, the
French Republic, the new Kingdom
of Italy, the Empire of Germany,
the various Colonies of Great Brl-
tain, have experienced q wide ex-
tension of popular suffrage.
In other words. the wage-earners
have come into the enjoyment of
greater political power and priv
ilege. They have labor to sell, and
their idea of the functions of gov
eminent is like the ruling idea Of
the Middle Ages, when monopolies
were in fashion. That idea is to
keep control of the market for
whatever any one guild may have
to sell, and diminish the number Of
possible competitors. That is the
idea of the Trades Unions as well
as the Manufacturers Trusts. But
the laborer who thinks only Of the
wages he wants to get, or the
manufacturer who thinks only Of
the price at which he wishes to
sell, alike forget that there are
other articles which they have to
buy. The so-caIled strife between
the laborer and the capitalist, is
really a contest between the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
The question Of good or bad gov
ernment. economically. considered,
is really decided by the preserva-
ton Of steady balance between
these two. Producers must not
4 forget that they are also consumers,
and the adjustment of prices for
commodities or for services must
proceed on the basis Of 4 due regard
I for needs Us well as for gains.
| Other things need to be taken into
consideration besides big wages OF
high prices. The cost of living may
neutralize the apparent advantage
Of big salaries. The cost of produc-
ton may more than counterbaIance
the higher price that legislation is
asked to provide. {. L. q. d.

The EVoman's side of the Question.
Mr.. EDITOR: I have read with
great interest, and with an interest
born of anxiety all the discussions
on the labor question. I can see
there that the interest of every
body concerned has been consid-
cred except the interest of the
housekeeper. Now, as there seems
to be no one in the Legislature
mindful of US, l want to speak as a
house wife, and ask, if the China
man is going to be deported and
not allowed to return, and if those
to be brought here are to come
only as agricultural Iaborers and
speedily sent away on the expira-
ton of their contracts, where are
we to get our domestic servants,
our cooks, stewards and yard boys?
I presume to speak upon the sub
ject of servants as one knowing
more of it than any member Of
the Legislature, and can say from
an experience of twenty-five years,
there are no servants in the coun-
try who can compare in excellence
with the Chinaman. In fact there
are very few of any other nation
atty here, and gradually to deport
the Chinese now here, is to raise
the wages of domestic service
above the high price it already
commands, and to bring discom-
fort into many and many q house
hold, especially into those homes
where the income is lowest. 1t
would be impossible to make the
Portuguese take the place of the
Chinese in the kitchen and house.
They are neither as clear nor
as honest as the Chinese. The
Portuguese men would prefer
outdoor work = the Portuguese
woman very soon comes to think
more Of fashion and dress than of
work.
Before so many Chinese were in
trodueed into this country, dom
este servants were greatly inferior
to those we now have. The SER
vice was unreliable and irrespon-
sible. The housekeeper of twenty
five years ago never knew of wax
ing il the morning whether she
had COOK to get her breakfast, or
whether she must do it herself. As
a rule, the Chinese cook himself
now provides substitute when he
wishes to leave his situation. They
are on the whole industrious, pa
tent and clean, and often the
faulty ways they may fall into are
more to the blame Of the easy mis-
