The Workingmen of France.

Minister Ribot, of France, has issued a
circular in which he claims that the
French workingman occupies particu-
larly favorable position, as the principle
of equality before the law has, as he says,
inspired French legislation for a century,
while during the last twenty years, under
the benign influence of democratic insti-
buttons, the interests of the laboring
classes have been the object, in special
degree, of the fostering care Of the legis-
lature. He maintains that the political
rights Of French workmen are better
protected than those of any other state
in Europe; that their liberty of Or
ganization is recognized under the
broadcast conditions; that efficacious
measures are taken to protect the
lives and the health of those engaged in
dangerous occupations; that the work of
children has been subjected to whole
some regulation, and that the public au-
thorities have exerted themselves to the
utmost to secure both to adults and chill
dren the means Of obtaining instruction.
Assistance has also been literally given
to the sick and the old, and individuals
have come to the aid Of the state in
founding hospitals, creating relief funds,
erecting homes for workmen. and in es,
tablishing cooperative institutions and
societies for mutual aid.

and fled from the galleries. This Cannon
is one Of the leaders of the republican party
in the House. A short time ago Senator
Plumb moved that the saloon under that
chamber be closed, or the sale Of liquor he
stopped there, to which motion Senator
Blair moved an amendment that drinking
by members be stopped and the demijohns
and bottles Of liquors be cleared out Of the
committee rooms. This movement against
liquor was caused by report from one of
the committees, whose chairman was so
boozy that his report was meaningless
muddle.
The public has become thoroughly dis
gusted with all this and are instituting

sweep this class of worse than worthless
public servants from the places they have
long disgraced, and put in their places men

A Joke on Senator Celauitt.

The Sentinel, of Washington, D. c.,
says: 1.-THE young grandson of the ia
nous ex-senator Nye, of Nevada, and
nephew of the equally famous Bill Nye,
of Laramie City and New York, was q
few days ago appointed a page in the
senate. He is very popular with the
other pages in the chamber, and with
nearly all Of the senators. One of them,
however-Mr. Colquitt, of Georgia
rather thinks the new page has done him
an injury. Soon after the boy had taken
the oath to support the constitution and
to defend his country against all ene-
mics, foreign and domestic, he was called
upon to do an errand for Senator Wade
Hampton, who told him to get bottle
of congress water and sandwich for
him at the restaurant and place them in
the cloak room for him.
1.-THE page made slight mistake in
the order, and took the articles of re-
freshment into the senate chamber and
put them unintentionally on the desk of
Mr.. Colquitt, where they remained for
some time the cause of much comment.
Senator Colquitt Is an ardent Prohibi-
ZIONIST, and was greatly shocked when
he entered the chamber to find his desk
adorned with long necked black bottle
and sandwich covered with napkin.
At first he was disposed to think some
of his colleagues had been playing
practical joke. When he learned the
facts he gave young Nye a lecture, and
warned him to be careful hereafter to
distinguish between a Prohibition sena-
tor and one who is in favor of original
packages"

The Machine ComposItor.

Secretary Ferguson, of Typographical
Union No. 6, was asked what he thought
would be the result of the general intro
duction of typesetting machines.
''Some persons seem to think" he said,
"that an operator of typewriter can
operate typesetting machine. Such
is not the fact. All the technical knowl-
edge Of compositor is required. One
might as well say that printer was
made when a person learned the case
(the location of the letters in the case)
No good printer need trouble himself
about the future. He will always have
place in a printing office. OF course
those who require more time to correct
their proofs than to set the type would
better be casting about for another avo-
cation"
This is the opinion of every practical
man. 1t will be the survival of the fit
test, and the poor men will have to 20 to
the wall. This may be harsh verdict,
but it is that of the times.-New York

FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
A Little Dialogue Which Should Have q
Wide Heading.

A Little Dialogue Which Should Have q
Wide Reading.
The following dialogue occurred dur
ing the debate in the house on the
Original package" bill, the parties
thereto being Messrs. Reed, of Iowa,
and Springer, of Illinois. It contains a
number of good points which should
have wider reading than they will OBJ
tain from The Record. Mr.. Reed is a
Republican.
Mr.. Springer-Will the gentleman al
low me to ask him a question? Do I'M
derstand you to say that if this senate
bill passes under the laws of Iowa the
authorities of that states will have the
right to go into the private cellar Of any
gentleman and take from him liquors
that he has stored for his own use and
confiscate them under the law of that
state, if those liquors have been received
from foreign state and are in the origi-
nal packages?
Mr. Reed-Mr. Speaker, my PROPOSE
ton is this: That If by the use of intoxi-
eating liquors that I have acquired in
any way, which I have in my house, l
am destroying my ability to perform the
duties that owe to the state, the nation
and to my family, duties that the state
has the right to require of me, it has the
right to enter my house just as it has the
right to punish me, just as it has the
right to close every drinking place in the
community in which l live.
NJ p,,% ,rvI,1 L. b. A.
that you are not capable of taking care
Of yourself and ought not to be allowed
to control yourself?
Mr.. Reed-The state is quite as COM
petent to decide that question as is this
congress. I want to make this one sug-
gestion further, and then am through.
In these matters the only prudent course,
in my Judgment, is to act upon the pre-
sumption that the state will exercise its
judgment in awise and prudent manner.
Congress is not the embodiment of all
wisdom. l have the most profound re-
spect for the Fifty-frst congress, in the
first place because I have become ac-
quainted with a great many very able
and pleasant gentlemen who are MEM
bers of 1t, and in the second place be-
cause l myself am member of it.
[Laughter.] And yet have no hesita-
ton In saying that when we came from
our homes to enter upon our duties here
we did not impoverish either the wis
dom, intelligence or patriotism of the
communities which we left. They are
quite as capable now Of dealing with
these questions as they were before we
left them. Laughter and applause.]

A Fall River Clergyman Describes a

The Rev. John Brown, in sermon on
"Christ in the City," delivered in the
Westminster Presbyterian church, made
statement that has caused great deal
Of comment and will lead to an investi-
cation of affairs at the Fail River City
hospital. He said:
IL witnessed sight last week, even
here In Fall River, that made me
ashamed of the city lived in. 1 did
not think that such thing was possible
in the land; certainly 1 never saw the
like of it in any of the poorest cities or
countries l ever lived in-south, west, or
anywhere else. Ten minutes walk will
take you. from one Of the finest resi-
dences in this city to the city farm-that
is, the city poorhouse. If you want to
see sight to make tears start in your
eyes go into the hospital. Here you
will find the sick, the insane and the
dying together under one small roof,
and in some instances in the same little
room. The poor girl went to see is
helpless as an infant and suffers such ex-
cruciating pain that she has to take OPT
ates. Her room measures by 10 feet.
In this hole is another woman, who is
old and crazy. Put yourself in this
girls place and imagine how you
would feel, lying there on your back
helpless for nigh two years, strug-
Cling with pain and sleeplessness, with a
crazy old woman rs your room mate.
The next room to hers on the left is per-
haps little larger. Here you find four
insane creatures budding together.
One is badly bruised about the face, and
evidently struck herself against some
thing. The noise which these poor I'M
fortunates make at night is just some
thing terrible for the sick and dying. A
little to the right you come on door
that is closely shut. You cannot enter,
for patient lies there with an infectious
fever. Not breath of air to cool the
burning brow can she enjoy. No, she
must keep shut up in dry goods box
to prevent the disease spreading. Take
it all in all, the Fall River City hos
pital is disgraceful sight-such, in
