They Don't Marry Clerks.

Some old philosopher has SAID that in
nine cases out of ten, when a man was
thrown constantly in the society of one
woman, he would end by marrying her
But there are some exceptions to this
general rule, and a notable one is to be
found among the class of shop-girls who
are employed in the big retail stores
uptown. Said the manager of one of
these establishments: at is a popular
idea with the public that our female
employees find husbands among the
men in the store with whom they work
every day, but it is not true. Most of
the girls who marry select their mates
from class of men who are in some
other and more remunerative business.
The principal reason for this is to be
found in the fact that the girls soon be-
come imbued with sensible ideas in re-
gard to the life of all who have to work
for living. A girl soon finds out all
about the man who works at the same
counter with her and knows that he
earns but little more than she does her
self. Matrimonial bliss Oh salary Just
sufficient for one has no temptations for
the average shop-girl."

Wedding Rings,

In a big Broadway ieweler s shop the
other day nice young man, who was
agoniZing between a true lovers knot
of pearls and tiny heart of diamonds
to bestow as an Easter offering on some
body, learned lot to his advantage
about wedding rings. The sparp- eyed
salesman, watching the earnest youth
hesitate, make and unmake up his mind
over the baubles, came to a sage con
clusion, and as the true lovers knot
was getting five votes to the heart s one,
glass counter. Wedding rings they
were, and not PLAIN polished gold band
among them.
They are no longer the fashion,
explained the glib dealer in precious
tribes to the pleased, but blushng vic
tim. ''Look here at this dozen; copies
of all rings made to order in the past
two months. Every one of dull red
color, carved and studded with jewels:
for diamonds, rubies, emeralds and
sapphires are as freely used in the or
namentation of wedding as engagement

gold so free from the hardening alloy

she usually comes with him, and
together they look over the stock and
invariably select one of the new rings.

relief and frightened by jewels, are her
choice, only she insists, with a perversl-
tv he thinks adorable, that she will
never wear wedding ring at all like
any other woman's, and then | propose
to make one to order. Sometimes she
thinks out the design for its decoration,
and sometimes my artists are COM
PEELED to work out a dozen different
patterns before she is suited. When
the ring is made the design is either de-
stroyed or given to the purchaser, and
only by special permission can ! copy 1t
for exhibition in my showcase. Often
enough these capricious ladies invent
charming patterns for their rings, and
only the other day sent home band

not very heavy. on which was carved

GOVERNOR MARKHAM is not deficient
in backbone, as is instanced in his veto
of the demagogic bill fixing the price of
labor at So day, and the hours con-
stituting days work at eight hours.
Nor is the governor lacking in clear
headed insight into the true quality of
things, as is shown in his reasons for
his veto. He says he affixed his dis
approval to the proposed law, because
of the injury it would do to labor. That
is right. One can no more fix the price
of labor by statute than he can the
price of wheat. Indeed to fix the price
of labor is to fix the price of wheat and
of every other commodity; for every
thing that is bought and sold is
product of labor, and derives it's value
from the labor bestowed upon it. Under
a healthy system of economy, every
commodity is valued directly and exactly
by the amount of labor required in its
production. The laws of supply and
demand are the correct principle in fix
ing values, and can no more be disturbed
by statute enactment than the laws of
gravitation or equilibrium can be sus-
pended by such enactment.

He may not be 80 earnest. ;Estee was

PARNELL appears determined to play
his desperate game out to the bitter end,
regardless of the consequences to his
country and her cause. He brazenly
defies public opinion, and lives in open
and fragrant intimacy with the O'Shea
woman. Seldom has SO great man
flung away so great an opportunity to
serve a great cause greatly for so small a
guerdon. He was in very fair way to
have won one OF the most memorable
and important victories in the history OF
the world. 1t is one of the decisive bat
ties in craftsmanship whose settlement,
whichever way it may go, will exercise a
lasting influence on the future history OF
England, and of the world generally.
But the cause which Parnell sacrifices
for SO little may be delayed in its accom-
.plishment, but it cannot Tbe finally de-
feated. 1t is the cause of justice and
humanity, and after all, in spite of the
encouragement pessimists, that cause
always wins in the long run.

Ar THIS period OF the rainy season a
flood in the river is not very serious
probability. Indeed, it is nearly impos-
sible that such an event should have
to be chronicled as the result of a storm
developing from the beginning as late as
the middle of March. But, whether or
not there is to be another flood this
year, the bridges along the river should
have prompt attention. They should
all be inspected carefully. and if any
weak points have been discovered by
the recent flood, these should be
strengthened before they are put to an
other trial. The floods of last season and
this, conGned to a narrow channel, as
they are now by the levees, have cut
the bed OF the river to depth not
known before. But the shifting sand
of the river bottom is not by any means
yet cut to bedrock. At the Buena Vista
street bridge it looks as if the channel
were cut very nearly to the very bottom
of the footlngs set in to bear the abut-
nnents. Now, if this be SO, the next
floods will cut in under these footings,
and then the whole structure will be at
once in peril. Let these costly bridges
be all looked to at once.

THERE is food for political thought in
the fact the cis-Mississippi states will
cast 10S electoral votes in the next pres
idential election. This count include 8
Minnesota and Texas. The closest point
of political contact between the states of
this section of the union is the status of
silver in our financial system. The peo-
pie of these states all are convinced that
their interests are crippled and suffering
because of an inadequate volume of cur
rency to transact the business of the
country. They are all, or nearly all, in
favor of the free coinage of silver. Any
politician who will go into either nation
al convention with these principles on
his tongue will have these 10S votes at
his back. 1t is rather difficult Just
now to see who that man would be in the
Democratic convention. There are so
many who might be. In the Republi-
can ranks there is only one conspicuous
figure at this time who might play in
this role. Heis now California senator.

ANY one who thinks money cannot
and will not be used, and used freely, in
the senatorial contest pending at Sacra-
mento, is not we'll informed about such
matters. The boodlers are there, and
are there strictly for business. Only a
hard argument can reach their under
standing. How ridiculous that they are
waiting for the funeral of the dead
senator before they elect! They
are waiting for Sunday, when they
can get down to San Francisco, and
there in the intricacies of that great
city meet those who are intrusted with
the real argument which is to decide
the contest. Today will be one of much
whispering, and today the whole affair
will be decided. 1t will require the
eyes of more than a lynx to see what
passes between the manipulators and
the statesmen. Dan Burns and the rest
are not people who wear their heart
upon their sleeve, for even newspaper
