THE FLooRWALKER.
The foorwalker is the shop girls COM
mon enemy. His eye is constantly upon
them and the departments they preside
over. Floorwalkers are said to be men
who usually feel the Importance of their
position, and the security of their place
depends upon the number of shop girls
they detect in doing something wrong in
given length of time. Yet instances are on
record where the natural harshness of the
aoorwalker has been quite softened by the
pretty smiles of the girls, and they have
been permitted TO do much that the rules
of the establishment forbade.
A timekeeper at the door of each store
punches the employees time checks, and
makes it impossible for the latter to steal
a moment OF time.
The long hours of service during which
the shop girls are constantly standing
cause some of them to look thin and pale,
but their unmistakable characteristic as a
class is rather of pleasant than a painful
life. They are doubtless less burdened with
irksome lives than are the household
dFudges whose work is never done, and
whose observation is mostly confined TO
the four walls of dingy rooms in unattrac-
tive tenement houses. The three or four
dollars week that many of them earn are
a welcome help to the support of poor fami-
lies. and their present contact with the
world may enable them to see possibilities
in life that would otherwise not occur to
them. There is no class more deserving of
kindliest consideration than are the work
ing girls.-Chicago Herald.

EDITOR BEACON The action OF the
Farmers Alliance, III their meeting
here last Thursday, was not marked
by hat good sense and conservatism
that has heretofore been prominent in
their meetings.
When they undertook 10 dictate to
the Democratic party who should be
its nominees, they went entirely too
farmer, merchant mechanic, lawyer, or
doctor, as an iRdiridHdl. to do what he
can TO secure to the mar of his choice
his party's nomination, and it is per.
fectly legitimate for him to procure
the aid of as many other iRiridHdb
as lie can in such his undertaking: but
when farmers, merchants, mechanics,
lawyers, or doctors como as an OrguR.
ized body, counting On their over.
whelming numbers, and say TO the
Democratic party who must be It's
nominee, they strike II deadly blow at
the integrity of that party.
II such body constitute the mhole
team that is to pull through to victory
the Democratic chariot, then let their
convention, after disposing of the pc
culiar business of their calling, resolve
themselves into a Democratic conven
ton and attend TO that business; but,
if men Of other Industries constitute a
part of such team and are expected to
assist in pulling the chariot, certainly
sach II of such other men should
have an equal voice with such men
of sncl body in clecling the men who
are TO ride il the victorious chariot.
Fair play requires that each Demo-
crat, whether farmer, merchant, me-
chanic lawyer or doctor, should go in
to a Democratic primary election or
convention as an indiridudl Democrat,
welding only his Opn influence;
and not as a part or parcel of another
organization, welding its influence.
Respectfully submitted.
X. G.. RIvEs.
