WOMAN AS A WORKER.

All the women do not want to be men and there are some who do not think that women ought to earn living by working in competition with men. Miss Alice M. Whitlock is one of them, and she presents her side of the case in very strong way. "Nearly every woman," she contends, "earns her own living" whether she does there is no graver injustice than this dis crimination by which we imply that the woman who gets so many dollars per day for her services earns her living and that others consequently do not" The divis- ion of the race into two sexes means, if it means anything, that the worlds labor is also to be divided, and the woman, like man, shall have definite and specific part of it to do. The patriarchial sys- tenn, which assigns to the man ''the se- curing of food and the protection of the family from enemies," and to the woman 'the care of the home and the rearing of the children" strikes Miss Whitlock as being, after all, the true one. Claiming men, women and children alike as bread winners, J she says, lis not advancing civilization at all. It is a relapse into one of the institu- tions of slavery" She further says The world cannot seem to realize that it is able ! to afford the luxury of educated women, | to create better homes and to train up the next generation. It seems to think that such course would be unpardonable ex. | travagance. When it is little more clear. | ly demonstrated that it is better for a man to earn dollar, and bring it home to be wisely and carefully spent by @ woman who can apply @ good knowledge of DO litical economy to it's disbursement than il
 is for the man and woman each to go ou
 and earn fifty cents, there will be gen eral waking up to an important truth; tha | is, that the labor of women in commerc, and the industries is now actually throwI
 away The family is no richer for it, ant
 society is poorer than if she stayed a
 home and gave her labor there
 This argument is strongly put and i
 we'll worth attention. But Woman is ol

 Cycles are not selling. Manufactures who have been working overtime in order to prepare a stock for the season find it accumlating much too quickly, and no de- mand for machines, which few months ago were eagerly sought by both agents and riders. With one or two noticeable exceptions, makers are overstocked with machines of this years pattern. The fal- ling of in the demand is attributed to the long spell of bad weether, but the present plethora of new machines in stock indicates over production. The cycle trade has fourished so exceedingly as to attract the capitalist, and induced too great competi- ton. The industry being new one, un- like those which have been handed down from father to son, or where the know ledge accumulated in long years of exper- fence is imparted by the master to the ap- prentice, cycle manufacture is known only to the present generation, every individual of which deems that he is as well fitted as | another to follow the business success l fully So all sorts of men, who would hes itate before starting in any oldestablished trade to which they had not been brought | up, rush in with surprising foolhardiness to conduct a specially difficult business of l which they are entirely ignorant and for which they are quite united. They com mence in the modern manner, with a large factory and heavy expenses, and expect to | obtain trade by cutting prices. With too many it is purely question of brag; they have no reputation, no knowledge, no spe- cial facilities for cheap production, no apti- tude for the calling, and, worst still, no nous. With many such competing, is it | surprising that affairs are forced to a cri- sisi Some of the younger firms, in an en- deavor to obtain trade at any cost, have secured the services of the most go-ahead salesman, and the personal prestige of the agent is now found pitted against the repu- tation of the goods; other firms deem it nee essary to advertise and to keep in 'the swim" by an appearance of great pressure, and therefore work overtime to make goods for which there is little demand; it seems barely worthy of credence that there should be feverish competition to increase theOut-

There has been Hull in the silver busi- ness and some have been encouraged to think that the craze was dying out. But on the other hand it is announced that Henry Willard, J. Pierpont Morgan, Jay Gould, and suudry other practical fnan- ciers have become convinced that as soon as possible after the assembling of the fifty second congress bill for the free coinage of silver will be passed. The further statement is made that free sill yer bill will be sent to the president as 8 Christmas present. This seems to be the politicians sensational way of putting it. In connection with these statements comes the suggestion that the president will probably permit this free coinage bill to be- come law without his signature.
 The Chicago Herald sees in these asser. tions the fine hand of the everbusy poll tician. Suggestions of just the same kind were placed on the rumor market year ago, when it was inti- mated that Secretary Windom, the president, and about everybody else con- nected with the administration were weak ening on the silver question. Two years ago it was the same. There is no more substantial ground for such an intimation now than there was year or two years ago. The president has never shown any signs of weakening except when he signed the act of July last, and it was pretty well understood that he signed that as the final, ity so far as he was concerned. There is no more reason to doubt that he will veto free coinage bill if one is sent to him next December than that he would have vetoed such bill if sent him at any form CT time.
 It is possible, not to say probable, that a free silver bill can be got through-aon. gress, but that will not make it law.

A ssaFs sn Hs. ssaaer UnvsIisa ~
Ancssnf 80. Sary'..


On the stateliest pr0moutory of
beautiful St. Mary's river there
gathered throng Of people yester-
day morning to do honor to Leon
ard Calvert, the first Governor of
Maryland-the central figure Of the
Pilgrims who established real liber-
| ty in the New World. On the spot
where stood in ancient days mas
siye mulberry tree, upon whose
knarled sides were nailed the official
| proclamations OF Leonard Calvert
to the colonisfs. the assembled mii1-
titnde saw shaft of enduring stone
rising high into the air overlooking
the landing where more than two
centuries and a-half ago the faith
ers first stepped upon the shore.
The ceremonies were simple, inspir-
ing and impressive, and the sur
roundings possessed a fitness pecu-
liarly their own. The drapery about
the shaft Was drawn aside by the
hand of u descendant Of him whose
name was craven on the granite.
The nnveiiing ceremony opened
at noon with an invocation 10y Car

seph Cunnane, OF Upper Marlboro.
Rev. Charles III. Heuisler then read
Colonel j. Thomas Scharf's histo-
rical discourse, after which Wright's s
Band played q selection and Miss
Julia Steuart Calvert pulled the cord
which caused the flag draping to
fall from the monument and dis
close its cleaning shaft. "Mary-
land, My Maryland with words
written for the occasion, was sung
by the ladies of st. Mary's Semina-
ry, after which Acknowledgement
VIM. Pinkney Whyte delivered the
oration of the day. The ladies of
st. Mary,s Seminary sang "Ameri-
ca" and as the group stood with
bowed and uncovered heads the
Right Rev. VIM. Paret, Bishop Of
Maryland, pronounced the benedic-
ton. A burst of music from the
band closed the proceedings.
The river was lively with large
and small craft. The steamer Ex-
celsior, which left Baltimore Tues
day night with the party from Bal
timore, was moored near by, as was
the steamer Sue, which brought a
great crowd from Leonardtown, the
oyster police steamers McLane and
Thomas, the sloops Nelly Jack
son, Daisy Archer, Louisa Whyte
and Katie Hines were swinging at
anchor, and when the cloth fell
from the monument they, with the
police steamers. fired rousing sa-
lutte. In addition to these vessels
the water was white with the sails
of canoes from the shores OF the
Potomac and st. Mary's rivers and
Chesapeake bay. The exercises in
detail are given below, not in the
order they took place, but arranged
for convenience in reading.
