The eastern shore Of Maryland has
been so little disturbed by Immigration
that the region numbers comparatively
few surnames. so that at various times
II has been necessary TO resort to odd
but very ancient devices to Distinguish
between men bearing the same name.
The commonest device Is the pafro-
nymic, BY which of two men bearing
exactly the same Christian and family
name one Il distinguished from the
other BY the addition ''of William"
''of Thomas or ''of John,~ a. the
case may be. the meaning Of the phrase
being .'son Of William. Thomas o.
John
Another device once commonly en-
ployed was to couple with the name an
adjective 70 indicate some physical pe
culiarity, as long" to Indicate a tal1
man, black to Indicate a dark man.
or red 70 Indicate ruddy man. Oc

Mr.. JULES SIMON, in the Ne10 ReUiea0,
pleads for reform in the factory Gus
toms, that will permit women workers
time to attend to care of their modest
homes-to make the beds, prepare din
ner, see their children by daylight. assure
themselves of the educational progress Of
their little ones, and by mere presence
prepare the hearts of children to love
goodness. ''To ask this is to ask society
to protect itself against the greatest dan
ger it has incurred for many centuries"
| 1t is not so bad as that in America in our
| places of employment, but as the RECORD
| UNION has constantly held, the employ
ment of women in business vocat1ons in
America that properly belong to the
natural bread winners, is to unfit them
/ in large part for domestic duties, and to
cultivate them away from domesticity
and the home. NJ. Simon says that at
Elberfeld the employers were so con-
vinced Of this fact, that they agreed to
| take each "hired grip from the facto-
ries into their homes for one year, for
each one so taken, and there to have
them taught the arts of housewifery. The
result has been that these women are
/ greatly more sought in marriage, and are
far more inclined to become co-workers
in founding homes. In their houses,
when they marry, order prevails, and
the housewifely arts are practiced that
are neglected or unknown in the homes
| Of most other operatives.

THE reason why the Sultan has been
constrained to consent to the carrying
past his doors, at the Dardanelles, of Rus
sian military supplies intended to form a
basis in the Black Sea for assault upon
his Capital, is not difficult to discover.
He knows that he cannot rely upon the
aid of any great power to second him if
he resists. France would not, of course;
Germany, by her quiesence, has clearly
made it apparent that she is not feeling
deep interest in the matter and desires
peace above all things; Austria could not
if it would. and Italy dare not without
consent of her colleagues in the alliance,
even if she felt disposed. England alone
could join with the Porte in protest and
resistance. But England is not prepared
for the conflict that might result, and
prefers. as is disclosed by recent dis
patches, to demand the same privilege
granted to Russia to pass military sup
plies through the Dardanelles, and trust
to the future, whatever may be the result.

WHILE the second and third rate politi-
clans are insisting that the free coinage
question is not, and will not be the real
issue in the near future, Henry Cabot
Lodge, who forecasts with extreme eau
ton, says in the Forum that lit will be
the issue'' in 1892. He holds that before
the election of 1892 the Democracy will
have formulated its tariff views in plat
form which the Republicans will assail,
putting the Democrats upon the de-
fensive. But the silver or money ques-
ton, he holds, will thrust the tariff issue
into the background because of the cry
for cheaper money; because it has become
test question of large number of
voters of varied views and interests, and
who are ''discontented with existing
social and financial conditions" The
Alliance has declared, not uncertainty,
upon the silver question, and the Re-
publican party, contending that the Ali
ance is an alley of its enemy, will contest
with it openly. Finally, he thinks, Con-
gress will pass free coinage act, but the
President will certainly veto it. On that
the two parties will go to the country,
and free coinage will be the dominant
issue, concludes Mr.. Lodge.

loans of the Gar. 1t is matter of his
tory that the Rothschilds, who control in
these matters, are under oath, and have
been for generations, never to engage in
any operation to corner or speculate upon
Russian breadstuffs, or deal in any fund
that would tend to injure the breadstuffs
supply and distribution. 1t is recorded
that this oath has never been
broken, and it is not likely that it ever
will be. The reading Of the dispatches,
therefore, concerning the reported open
ing of the financial battle, should be
had with this understanding, in order
that the movements of the financiers may
be clearly comprehended.

RICHARD HENRY SToDDARD labors in
the North american ReUiea0 to prove that
Lowell was greater than his work. That
could not be. No man is greater than
the product of his genius, skill or cour-
age. 1t is the accomplishment, the
achievement of the worker that gives the
true measure of the man. Mr.. Stoddard's
claim is that what Lowelrs work was
ure, and others may have never known,
except in casual and fragmentary way.
But suppose this to be so, all the knowl-
edge the world has of Lowell, or of any
other man, is his work. This may be
direct with some, and collateral with
others. We feel influences very often
the depths of which we have not probed,
and the sources of which we do not un-
derstand. Known or unknown it was
the work of Lowell, his acts as diplo-
matist, his elegance as writer, his fervor
as patriot, his force as a reasoner, his
wit and sweetness as a poet, his bearing
as gentleman, that enabled the world to
judge him, and we think it follows logi-
caliy that he did not and could not rise
superior to these works. He may have
felt higher aspirations, may have been
ambitious to do more; may have fretted
that he was not able to carry with him in
the world larger following of sympathy,
but these unknown desires did not make
him greater than the work that revealed
him.

THE ReUaea0 Of ReUieaCS, with consider
able bitterness, regrets that the Aneri-
can press should have been so ready to
take up loose accusations brought by in
terested parties against our Minister to
Chile, Mr.. Patrick Egan." With refec-
ton the ReUieaO may discover that if in
some respects Mr.. Egan was possibly
harshly judged by his countrymen, it
part. 1t was due to his unaccountable
and as yet unexplained silence at a time
when it was his duty to have informed
his Government. Moreover, the ReVieaC,
in its sharp criticism Of 1.-THE newspapers
Of the country" is in error when it says
that they were influenced by those who
were interested in Mr.. Egan's discom-
future; on the contrary, jealous regard
for the honor Of our own land actuated
them. 1t needed but a word from the
Minister to have removed every cause of
complaint, but he has not even to this
date spoken it. An impartial jury of in
teligence could not possibly find against
the American press for its protest against
Mr.. Egan's silence. As for the accusa-
tions of his enemies, that he was finan-
cially interested in Balmaceda's success,
it found no footing in this country be-
cause it was unaccompanied by any
proofs of verify, and it has already been
forgotten. The newspaper press of
America in its impuIslveness is not infre-
quently in error in its judgment of pub
lie men, but that it has done Patrick
Egan any wrong remains to be proved.
