and skill can devise. No improvements
are possible or needful. If you don't be
heye it read the following from the Bos-
ton Herald: at is not generally known
how narrowly the country escaped a
financial panic on the day congress adj
Journed. When the announcement of
the congressional adjournment reached
the New York Stock exchange somebody
sung out that the czar was dead. The
report was quickly heard in all the Of
fees, and uneasiness prevailed.
The death Of the car Of Russia, it
was insisted, would unsettle European
financial circles. Brokers and their Gus
toners shot orders into the excl ange to
sell stocks. There was a slump in sew
eral quarters and a weak closing. The
report of the death of the car of Russia
reached London by the way of New
York, and back came uneasy news. 1t
was not until the close of the day that
all Wall street knew that the stentorian
announcement referred to Thomas b.
Reed, of Portland, Me. Then confidence
was restored" Let us be duly thankful.

The position taken by the legislative
committee of the Washington Fedora
lion Of Labor Il senator Plumb is
sound. Neither superintendents nor
workingmen should be permitted to vio-
late the spirit Of the eight hoEr Move
ment.
The committee take strong ground
against the practice of permitting work
men to work overtime and draw pay
therefor, and say that if his idea of per-
hitting favored workmeu 10 get the
m of the work and the pay is to pre-
vail the whole law might as well be re-
pealed, The point Of their argument is
this, that unless the eight hour system is
acted upon in its true spirit and the
workers limited TO eight hours the pur-
pose Of the law fails. The Opportuni-
ties for intellectual and physical improve
ment are not afforded; the chances of
employment for a larger number of men
do not follow, and there is no standard
or example set by the government which
might exert a moral influence over the
general conditions Of employment
throughout the country.
The committee make the further point
that the necessity for a reduction of the
hours of labor in all departments of in
dustry is now more urgent thar ever be-
fore. The increased introduction of labor
saving machinery which, in the single
state of Massachusetts, is estimated to
equal the labor of 100, 900, 600 men, and
the constant pressure of immigration
from all parts of the world ave thrown
great numbers out of employment and
reduced wages in many instances.

Professor Ashley, of University col
lege, Toronto, delivered a lecture recent
ly on the subject Labor and Strikes"
One of his propositions was that work
men are justified in striking, just as a
merchant is justified in refusing to ac-
cept the terms of another trader. 1t was
objected that a strike caused public in
convenience. This should, to a degree,
be guarded against by demanding in
some cases a sufficient notice before the
workmen quit work. But certainly one
of the objects of the strikers is to cause
public inconvenience and thus put their
case strongly before the public, To hear
the lamentations of some people one
would think that the only proper time
for laborers to strike was when there
wa no demand for their work.
Another proposition was that if the
men have a right to bargain for the sale
of their work, they should not be limit
ed as to the restrictions they shall put
ON their work. This was clear in the
case of bringing in non-uniouist men.
Should the unionists allow this it would
destroy the very object of their union,
which was TO prevent just this compe-
tition. On the other hand, the master
has a perfect right, if he can beat the
men, to bring in as many "blacklegs" as
he likes.

The u~tterances of the newly elected
United States senator from Kansas are oil
interest. 1--WE, the people" he said in q
recent speech, ''have commenced the
building of a distinct and separate politi.
cal organization. Land is the common
property of men, and labor is the com
mon lot of men. Transportation is a
medium of their communication, and
money is the lubricating oil.
ION these principles we will erect a
grand party. We are opposed to a
national banking system. We believe
in the government, which il simply the
agent of the people, issuing money direct
to them. We oppose taxing one indus
try to support another. We believe in
distributing the burdens of taxation
equally among the people, so far as we
are able to do"

Addressing a meeting of carpenters on

out $50 on which to keep a family. These fig

receive three dollars a day or thirty cents an
hour for ten hours a day. We do not get that,
however, and when the real wages are sim
mered down we have only SOB to keep our fam

This, in the best view of the situa-
ton, is a very slender return for skill ed

F. b. Hawley says hat the purchasing
power of money wages does not increase
as rapidly as the purchasing power of
other money incomes, because the food
and manufactures consumed by
the poor cannot, owing TO the law OF
diminishing returns, be cheapened as
rapidly as the more highly wrought ar
ticles consumed by the rich. 1t thus ap-
pears that the socialists are correct in
asserting that the laboring classes re-
ceive now only about half of what is
produced, and that the tendency is for
their share to decline as civilization ad-
vance and wealth accumulates.

RECEPTION AND MUSICALE.

The West Michigan Conservatory OF
Music Formally Opened Last Night.
The West Michigan Conservatory OF
Music was formally opened last night,
and their parlors, in the McMullen
block, were crowded to their fullest
capacity by bright and gay concourse
of music lovers. The invitations issued
were responded to in q manner which
eclipsed the most sanguine expectations
of the management, SO that Messrs.
Yerex and Post we're happy, as well as
very, very busy.
A reception took place from 7:30 un-
til Q O'Clock, which was made most
pleasant by q committee composed of
Messrs. Yerex, Post, Head, Craver, Dill
bingham, Palmer, Berard, feathers,
Wilkins, Force. Bolitho; Smith; Mes
DANES Yerex, Chapman, Post. Carpen-

place immediately after the reception.
The list of numbers TO be presented was
published in the TELEGRAM-HERALD re-
Gently. Its excellence and apprecia-
ton were attested by the applause
which each performer received.
If the large and intelligent crowd en-
tertained last night at the conservatory
may be taken as an omen, Its future
success is assured.

One Of the representative women of
today, whom it is . pleasure and a
privilege to know, il Mrs. Elizabeth
Boynton Harbert, of Evanston, Ill.
Actively engaged for many years in
philanthropic work, and in the interest
Of reforms, still those who know her
IN her homo, know her at her best.
There, - q happy wife and devoted
mother. all the charms of manner and
qualities of mind and heart which
characterize her public work, are at
their brightest.
Who shall say they are not much
brighter and better in tho home be-
cause of the earnest purpose to open
closed doors and make life broader and
richer for those outside of it?
Many years ago Mrs. Harbert ex-
pressed it herself in single sentence:
"The new truth, electrifying, glorify-
ing American womanhOod today, is the
discovery that the State is but the
larger family. the Nation the old
homestead, and that in this National
home there is q room, corner, and a
duty for mother"
About the end of 1876, the thought
came TO Mrs. Harbert that nowhere in
journalism was there special recogni-
ton Of woman's interests. To be sure
there had long been fashion depart.
ments and cooking departments, but
no niche or corner devoted to the in
dustrial. educational, philanthroplc
and political interests of women. To
think was to act. She placed the mat
ter before the editor Of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean. and the result was the
devotion of q special corner in thai
journal to woman's interests, desig.
mated "Woman's Kingdom" This was
ably edited for seven years by Mrs
Harbert, and here she found oppor
tunity 10 say many inspiring and help
full words to her Western sisters. Later
she became editor-in-chief of the "New
Era"
Perhaps, however, she is best known
as lecturer. Added to fine personal
appearance and address, she has the
ability to stand before all audience
complete master of the situation, and
that without loss of womanliness. She
can and does say the brightest anc
sharpest things in the most irresistible
way, and If, occasionally, one discover,
. touch of satire or of sarcasm, ever
this is 80 pervaded with good nature
that it does not hurt. Those who lis
tened to Mrs. Harbert's address before
the International Council, held il
Warrington three years ago, or before
the Association for the Advancement
of Women, held in Detroit two year!
ago, will not be likely to forget her.
IL, as Victor Hugo predicted, tn,
twentieth century Is to be woman's cen
fury, 1t will be 80 because many noble
women of the last half of the nine
teenth century have shown that il il
possible for q woman to do her whole
duty to home, husband and children
and yet reach o helping hand to les
fortunate sisters in other homes.
