REWARDS OF PROTECTION.

The New York World recently instituted an
investigation into the condition Of the opera
tives who are employed in a number of the
factories of various kinds in the vicinity Of
New York city. The results of this investi-
cation throw a sensational light upon the sys-
tenn which prevails in these factories Of OBJ
tanning the largest amount of work out of the
unfortunate women and children in return for
an extremely low rate Of wages.
One Of the wealthiest manufacturing firms
in Newark Is the Clark Thread Mills, the repu-
tation of whose product has been extended
into every part OF the English-speaking world
securing for tho manufacturers of the
famous thread an income which is estimated
on the most careful basis to run up into the
millions. And yet if the report Of our New
York contemporary is accurate they show
neither generosity nor humanity 10 those by
whose labors they have been enabled TO ac-
cumulate their large fortunes. In the report
referred TO there is a series of interviews with
women who are employed in various depart
ments Of the mills. and the facts brought TO
light are such as to arrest attention. The
average amount earned by these women is
about "A. so a week. and as the cost of board
is $3.50, a majority of the female operatives
having no home Of their own, the surplus left
for clothing and other expenses after the
work OF the week is finished is one dollar, or
four dollars for the whole month.
Under the system which was formerly in
operation in the mills som of these female
operatives were occasionally able to earn un-
der favorable circumstances as much as eight
dollars a week, but under tho rules which have
recently been adopted it is impossible for
any OF these operatives 10 earn by the most
strenuous exertions more than e6.5o o week.

Venezuela and England.



The Monroe doctrine fits the present case
ms though it had been made for it. 1t takes
firm ground against the extension of Euro
pean sovereignty On any part of the American
continent. and extension Is exactly what Great
Britain is aiming at. She is pushing the
wetern boundary line of British Guiana
farther and farther westward, her evident in
tention being TO obtain control Of the mouth
of the great OrinOco river. 70 which she has
no shadow of title. She is relying upon her
own strength and the weakness of Venezuela
for the accomplishment OF her purpose. and
she will be very likely 10 succeed unless I'M
other power comes 10 the aid Of the weaker
nation.
Should the United States espouse the cause
of Venezuela in earnest II Is probable that
England would change her mind on the ques-
ton Of boundary. She would be very apt to
reconsider her construction of the treaty under
which she acquired Guiana from the Dutch
and be content 10 remain within the lines
then fixed. There would be. we think, no
necessity for anything in the nature of a hos
tile demonstration. A formal protest against
British aggression. supported by a statement
of the Venezuelan case. and an intimation
that the Monroe doctrine was believed in and
would be upheld by the whole nation. would
be sufficient 10 bring about an amicable adj
justment OF the Venezuelan controversy and
a disclaimer Of any intention to trespass.

The Howitner Group by Foster.

No pictures taken in Richmond in recent
years have attracted more attention or called
forth more favorable comment than the How
itzer group executed by w. W. Foster. the
acknowledged leader in the art Photographic
in Richmond. This picture Is on exhibition
at Walter ID. Moses & Co. s. and has been uni
yersally admired.
The old Howitzers under Colonel W. p.
Smith, and the young HOwltZers with Captain
j. A. Hutchinson in the lead, are as true 70
life as nature itself. and every one as easily
recognizable. They have, in fact, been pro-
nounced perfect pictures.
The decorations are also noticeable. There
are handsome pictures of Lee, Jackson ana
Davis. The Presidents house. General Lees
Richmond residence, and the Washington and
Lee monuments are faithfully denneated.
On either side will be found the coat-ot-arms
of the Ole Dominion and the Pelican State.
The pictures of the Red Artillery and Happy
Howitzers, with their guns and accoutre-
ments. are well done. The representation OF
the battle scene is vivid. and above rises tho
fac-simile of the Private Soldiers monument,
the great tribute which the Southland pro-
poses 10 pay 10 its unknown heroes, OF whom
Virginia and Louisiana contributed their tul

Taken as a whole the picture is one of the

memories of the unhappy civil war. and as
such a copy should find Il place IN every
Southern home 6Not only ia the group per
feet of both the veteran and latter-day Howit-

the leading heroes and points Of interest of
the late Confederacy and of the monuments

nation. and especially that part of 1t which

In this work our prince Of photographers

A.single extract from an interview with one

Life Insurance Premiums.

The utterances Of the officials of a life in

arts of the willy agent hesitate long. mat

tematic course of embeZzlement until the

nal mismanagement of the affairs OF the
plundered corporation. But when the char
acter OF the corporation is considered, the
plea Of its directors that MerZbachers enorm-
Gus defalcation can be made good out OF hls
commissions in q few years IS even more dis
q%uieting than the robbery itself, for 1t affords

Preposterous Ideas.
[Frederickshurg Star


We cannot understand why people take up
such preposterous ideas as they sometimes
do. For instance. we heard a Spotsylyania
man say a few days ago that there should be
no differences of opinion among men on the
subjects of politics and religion. This man
did not know what he was talking about. OF
course, we suppose, he wants the women 20
have all the fun that emanates from relig-
ious and political disputes. But he over
looks the fact that if all men thought alike
on these questions they would be shut
out from the pleasures and spice of
controversies. and there would be nothing
in life worth living for. Then, again, If men
did not have something 70 quarrel about
among themselves. they would. in all proba-
bility. invade the special domain of their
wives. sweethearts. sisters. cousins, mothers.
grandmothers and aunts, and find fault Of
domestic affairs, or poke their noses into
something else with which they have no
business. Men. as we'll a. women. must have
something to do t. make them happy, con
tented and useful creatures.
