That the poor are good to one another
is the silent testimony of the raceaf beg
gars, Many of the cross streets up town
through which throngs of working peo-
pie pass to and from their work are in
tested with beggars in the early morn
ing and evening hours, and to an incred-
ible extent. These birds of prey, who
are for the most part bloated, ragged
women whose tatters are redolent of
whisky, place themselves close to the
stoopo of some respectable dwelling house,
and, crouching against the rail, hold out
n grimy hand which suggests rather
than asks a gift. Young girls going
to their work are moved to compassion,
and men feel a superstitious repugnance
10 passing an old woman in want, and
81 these sodden, hopeless waits of hui
manity find it profitable to haunt the
places through which the tide of daily
labor GIBBS and flows most swiftly. In
the matter Of charity, the practical diff
ference seems to be that the rich sub
scribe to charitable societies, the poor
give to those poorer than themselves.
But the poor give from their poverty

Mrs. Alexander Bremen, deputy fac
tory inspector of the state of New York,
may sleep sometimes. but when she is
awake she is awake all over. Mrs.
Bremen knows more about the ma
chinery used in factories than half the
men who run the factories, and she de-
votes all of her time and a great deal of
the money which is paid her in salary in
going around looking for crying abuses
When Mrs. Bremen finds such abuses.
does she cry about them? No, indeed
She goes to work and she writes to that
medium of the people, the newspapers.
and writes in such n businesslike way
that the complaint always receives RE
spectful attention. She is at work now
securing proper privacy for factory girls
at such times when they wish to be Sc
cluded, and she keeps her ayes open for
children under age and girls whose
rights are not properly respected by EN-.
ployes.-New York Advertiser.

also won the quarter mile dash in 81 50
econds.
From the time he returned, in August
of the same year, until he retired, in June,
1890, Dohm was almost %invincible at the
middle distances. In the fall of 1888 he
won the quarter mile championship OF
Canada and of America. In 1889 he won
the intercollegiate championship Of Amer
lea in 80 seconds, breaking the previous in

quarter mile championship OF the eastern
United States; the quarter and half mile
championships Of Canada, and the quarter

The New South Wales (Australia),
Typographical association has adopted a
resolution setting forth hat the ques-
ton of female labor is one of much inn
portance. While some societies have
enjoyed immunity from this evil, others
have had, and some still have, the mat
ter seriously before them. Female labor
means nothing more than cheap labor,
and all societies are enjoined to look
upon it in this light and set their faces
steadily against it. With the experience
of societies in whose districts female
compositors have been introduced, nota-
bly, New Zealand and western Austria
liza, for their guide, societies will plainly
see that it would be highly detrimental
to their welfare to recognize female la
Dor in any way, and the councils advice
lies most decisively in this direction.

THE SUNDAY LAW

A side OF tho Sunday law question
which should be fairly faced is the
different positions of various individu
ais. This il free country. Every in
dividual has right to enjoy himself as
he pleases SO long as his enjoyment
does not infringe on the rights of other
individuals. Any law which prevents
such enjoyment is wrong clothed in
legal garb.
a rich man may ride out behind his
horse, any day in the week accompanied
by his family. A poor man working
six days week can find no recreation
with his family save ON Sunday. What
man has the right to prescribe his con-
duct on that day and circumscribc his
pleasures? None. This is not Russia.
If he wants 4 cigar, Sunday paper,
glass of soda and carriage ride on
Sunday he has right to them. And
any law which prevents him from OBJ
tanning them 20 that extent takes away
his freedom.
The Sunday ordinance should be
modified.

THE ROANOKE HERALD.

The Roanoke Herald again attacks
THE TINES in its issue of yesterday
morning. Its attack compels THE
ZINES to become reminiscent.
The Herald was started by Mr.. James
A. Pugh, and SO long as he remained
with it, it was conducted with the
ability which he has never failed to dis
play. It's downward career dates from
his departure. The machinery was
there, but tho brains had departed.
At that time it was clumsy eight
column eightpage paper. "The Largest
Daily Paper Published in Virginia" it
arrogantlY boasted. 1t carried some
thirty-fve columns OF adver Using, good,
bad and indifferent.
Some months later the Herald con-
cluded to throw out lot of dead ad.
vertising and came out as Il seven
column six page paper 1t found plenty
Of room for all it's advertising. 1t was
still The largest daily paper published
in Virginia"
Then it encountered 4 series Of me-
chanical vicissitudes 1t obtained new
press, on which is chattel mortgage
and borrowed an electric moter from THE
TINES Publishing Company, to run it's
old press while the new one was being
released from the freight depot. TIE
TIMES, electric motor enabled the Herald
to utter its ISLANDERS on Mr.. James A.
Pugh and other members Of THE TINES
staff last June. Mr.. Pugh has obtained
judgment against the Herald for moneys
due, but the Judgment has never been
satisfied It's advertising continued to
shrink rapidly.
Within week the Herald was reduc ID
90 seven column four page paper. is
advertising has sEruDk to seventeen
columns and Of that amount not less
than three bring no money to it's Golfers
while several more are doubtful. The
Herald still claims to be The LARGEST
Daily Paper Published in Virginia." 1t
is four columns smaller than the Even
ing World and not two-thirds the size of
TIE TIMES. II is exceeded in size by
mot less than seven daily papers in
Virginia.
The shrinkago in the llcrald's size
and advertising patronage seems to
have been cqualled by the contraction
in its circulation. THE TINES has kept
tab on its own business and has several
hundred subscribers on It's books who
have stopped the Herald. They come
in every day. Moreover. when anyone
takes The TINES he pays for it. while
nu nerous, people have stated that h
Herald was being sent to them withod,
their having sub: c,bed for It, and that
as no bills were ever sent they presumed
it was intended as gift.
At the head of lis editorial c,l m
the Herald publishe:a claim that GEO.
r. Rowell q Co. class the Ec,a d
as the Roanoke paper which gives thc
advertiser the most for his money Blu,
the Herald fails TO state that Geo. Y.
Roweil e Co. quote an advertising rate
for the Herald OF 81 an inch a month
Home advertisers who contiinc Il
patronize the Herald may make q not,
of this. BY sending your alvcr'isemcnt

inch a month. But possibly 1t Is not
costing you any moro than that now.
Tho proprietors of tho Herald have
made several efforts to sell out within
the past few months, but have been I'M
successful. No one cares to buy wild
cat stock on falling market. The next
case of shrinkagc which strikes tho
Herald will probably have the Same
effect on it as the sun has on jelly
