LABOR COMPLICATION.

From the dispatches it is seen that the
alleged eight-hour movement, in num-
Der of instances at least, is being used as
pretext to strike for higher wages, as
is shown in the demands of the strikers,
where they not only demand shorter
hours but an increase in their per diem
pay. Such actions as these will lose the
wage earners much Of the public SYM
pathy they would receive in their
efforts to establish an eight-hourS-a-
day standard. Nobody questions the
privilege of the laborer to ask for, and
even demand an increase of wages at
any time he may feel that they are
insufficient for the service performed or
inadequate for the maintenance of him
self and dependents; but the eight-hour-
a-day movement is an independent one,
and IN It's inception had for It's object
the ameliorationsof the social disadvan

as whole were placed without any

THE STATUS OF WOMAN.

| From the Lawrence Journal.
Among the options recently advised
by the Faculty and accepted by the
Regents, is one which will doubtless
cause much comment in the educational
world, as well as in other circles. For
the first time in educational history, it is
believed, is the condition of woman to be
assigned place in university curicu-
lum; and is such a study to be given
prominence and value as part of a liberal
education. 1t seems quite fitting that
"the status woman in the United States
should first be a subject for investiga-
ton. from the historical and practical
standpoint, in the University of Kansas,
in which from the opening of its doors
no distinction of sex has ever been toler-
ated, but co-education has been absolute
and complete.
Prof. James H. Garfield in whose de-
partment of American history and civics
this new work falls, has been striving to
secure this option for several years-but
financial and other reasons forbade until
now. The course will include at first
three conferences each week of the sec
ond term; but will become full term
study as soon as the library facilities will
warrant this eXtention. It will open
with a brief review of the condition and
position of woman IN all countries and
in all ages. down to about A. d. 1850.
Then viii follow more careful study of
woman during the century preceding
the colonization of America-tO deter
mine what may be called fatherland
influences. Woman in America will
next claim attention, in colonial, revolu.
tionary and early nineteenth century
periods. The course will close with a
careful examination of the legal, politi-
cal. industrial, educational and profess
sional status of woman III The several
states of the American Union.
The proposed course has already at
tracted much attention. Miss Frances
+. Willard writes very warmly, and
calls it "a lever of the finest Bessemer
steei-the greatest single step vet taken
in the higher education:" and others
are equally strong in their expressions of
approval. This study in itself viii exert
strong influence in bringing young
women of this state to the university. 1t
is recognition of their interests to which
they will very naturally respond.
a special alcove VIII be set apart in
the university library, in which Professor
Garfield hopes to place large and
unique collection-the best books by the
best women, and the best books about
women, in all languages. He wishes to
push this collection more rapidly than
the finances of the university will
permit-and therefore asks for gifts of
either money or books from those
interested in this work He also hopes
to secure the founding of scholarship
in this connection. All correspondence
should be addressed TO himself. state

THE RUSSIAN OUTRAGE.

Russia is shocking the spirit of the
century with her dark-age methods.
Her attitude towards and persecution of
a superior race, at least superior to the
Slavs, certainly to any or all of its Russian
branches, seems fiendish for the closing
days Of the nineteenth century. There
is no letting up, no softening of the
cruel conditions of the order of Danish
ing the Jews, the men and women who
were born in Russia whose parents and
grand parents for generations back knew
no other home. This force exodus is a
reflection of international comfy, an
enormity that should not be permitted
by civilization. Incredible as it may ap-
pear the order includes men, women and
children, the robust and the decrepid
the sick and the INTERN and all must go
by q stated date. Homes must be
sacrificed, all that is dear of associa-
tionS, even to the graves of loved ones
must be given up and bid farewell to
forever. They are not only being robbed
by this outrageous, unclvllized
pronunciamento, but impoverished
and made entirely destitute. The earn
ings and savings of life of genera
ton, and of generations will go to enrich
the favored of the government. There
is no doubt that this unheard of step of
confiscation comes of cupidity, largely
of the Russians, and of the recognized
fact that as race the Russians can not
hold their own with the Hebrew.

Some Queer Derivation. OF Words.

The game cricket is not the chirping
chatterer that makes music for the family
fireside. but takes its name from the
we call a bat. The catamaran is not an
animal. but boat made Of two bulls fast
sned together. This word is Hindostanee,
aud means floating trees The word haber-
dasher has rushing, roaring sound, like
that of angry waves breaking upon "a peb-
bly, shore, but it bears no rough meaning.

call goods for gentlemen's wear.

we can take our choice between the oat

Italian, but spoiled in the transfer. ''Sleeps

and because when a top is spinning at its
best it does not wobble, but maintains the

Italian phrase was taken by certain wise
acres to have reference to top.-Harper's

CREATURES OF CIRCUM STANCES.

A Texas Alliance man thinks the sub

problem, because the negro is an agricul-
turist by nature, the prince of cotton,
rice and sugar laborers, and he sees in it
relief from the banks. 4 Kansas man,
who spent the winter working on the
levees in Mississippi, called the other day
and told us how the whites in that region
continue TO live off the darkeys through
their store accounts, always bringing
them out in debt. Probably the people
down in that region might settle the race
problem by being fair and honest with
the colored man.-kansas City Gazette.
That the southern darkeys are the vic
Tins of the "store account system is
not TO be denied, and until
the system is changed their con-
dition will remain substantially
the same as it is now. But it does not
operate to the disadvantage of the

RELIGION AND POLITICAL ECONOMY

It is useless to attempt to Confne Sam
Jones to any special field of thought and
action. He is all the time putting down
the bars and venturing into new pas
lures.
The other day at Aberdeen, Miss, ac-
cording to REPORT in the Memphis Com
mercial, Mr.. Jones in the course of his
sermon referred to the alliance and the
sub-treasury. He told the farmers that
they were not likely to accomplish any
thing on their present line, for every
time the Democrats and Republicans
acted the rascal, they were sure to act
the fool. He endorsed Senator Georges
argument against the sub-treasury, and
said that no true American wanted gov
eminent aid. Economy and honest labor
would be found the best remedies. He
expressed sympathy for the farmers, as
they were the "under dog in the fight"
and he said that he wanted to see them
turn the big dog over, and get on top but
he had no confidence in their methods.
He deplored the fact that Christian char
acter was not generally as good collateral
security in business as it is in the case of
the Hardshell Baptists, who can always
obtain credit with sensible merchants.
Homestead and bankrupt laws came in
for his condemnation, and he lOnged for
the day when mans coat would be
taken from his back to pay his debts.
Doubtless the reporter did the preacher
some injustice in a brief and hurried
synopsis of his remarks. But some peo-
pie will wonder if it is in the line of Sam
Jones duty to mix lectures on political
economy with his sermons. If he pro-
poses to deliver stump speeches in the
pulpit against the Alliance and the sub
treasury he will soon find out that he is
making a great mistake in policy in
dealing with that followiug-theva are
committed. But it may be that the
evangelist has been misrepresented. 1t
is to be hoped that such is the case.

saran's Invention OF Dyspepsia.

Saran's Invention OF Dyspepsia
By those who know whereof they speak
IL is admitted that of all the malsdies
wherewith man is afflicted there is none
more grievous in its tormests than dyS
pepsia, and a right marvellous charac-
teristic of this affection is that with all its
malice it seldom wholly destroys its vic
tim. Dyspepsia very often incapacitates q
man for endeayor, and It sometimes ex-
tinguishes the fire of am bition within him,
but it is the diabolcal pleasure of this dis
ease not to deprive its miserable prey alto
gether of life, and so we see dyspeptics
crawling aimlessiy about the world, too
sick TO live as they should live, yet not
quite sick enough TO die. The lot of these
creatures is wretched indeed.
Dyspepsia is the Oldest malady known TO
mankind. The oldest piece OF literature
and perhaps the most remarkable poem
ever writJen-treats of the career of a dyS-
peptic his physical and mental symptoms,
his curious Authorizations, his reformatory
life, mis- gradual restoration to health, his
subsequent prosperity and his wonderous
longevity. We refer 10 the book of job, TO
the reading-nay, the study of which we
urge those who are aware that they have
stomachs, and those also who are likely 10
become so aware. The first important les
son which this beautiful poem teaches is
that Satan invented dyspepsia The arch
fend makes his boast that it is in his power
to win Job from godliness by affecting him
sorely in body; divinity permits the trial
to be made, but insists that the victim
shall not be killed. So Satan invents dys
pepsia, as we shall-or rather as the poem
itself oth-prove.-Eugene Field in Chi
