SOME WISE wORKINGMEN.

A rich manufacturer of Bradford, Eng
land, recently made an interesting PROPOSE
ton to the officers of the trades union con-
trolling the workers in the worsted and
woollen mills of that place. His proposal
was based on statements made at the meet
ings of the trades union, that, if the bust
ness of manufacture was carried on upon
what would be termed socialistic principles,
it would be greatly for the benefit of the
working classes. The manufacturer in
question made the proposition that he
would allow, for years time, the trades
union to have the use of one of his mills,
thoroughly equipped for the business,
without rent of any kind; that he would
furthermore furnish them, under sufficient
guarantees of repayment, $25, 900 as a
working capital, and if, after year of
trial, it was proved that the men en-
ployed in this establishment earned by
means of this cooperative employment
larger returns than were paid to other op-
eratives in Bradford mills employed in
manufacturing similar goods, he would at
LILO ChS Va bAO I"C4NO nStGO W lCS
the trades union have his mill at reason
able valuation and on terms that would
admit of their easy and ready payment,
and would, besides, arrange to supply un-
der favorable conditions the funds needed
for a permanent working capital. In max
ing this offer he stated that he was as de-
sirous as anyone of demonstrating whether
or not the socialistic plan of production
was or WAS not feasible and that he thought
the best mode Of demonstration would be
by practical test.
The matter was thoroughly discussed by
the union and it showed its wisdom by de-
cliping the offer. It is not probable that
| the experiment would have been a success
| if it had been tried. The management
would probably not have been of kind
the truth when it saye: If society were to
be reorganized upon the socialistic plan,
the reorganization would need to be made
from the top to the bottom. 1t would not
apply alone to those who are wage earners,
| but also to those who are now employers;
that is, the captains of industry would
need to be counted in as essential factors
in the social reorganization. If the Brad
ford manufacturer had proposed to give
his mill for one year to an honest demon.

socialistic plan of work, and had said: 81

been afforded of having at least an inter

"The Things That are More Excel
liant


As we wax older ON this earth,
Till many toy that charmed us seems
Emptied Of beauty, stripped OF worth,
And mean as dust and vain as creams
Some recompense the Fates have sent,
Thrice lovelier shine the things that last,
The things that are more excellent
Naught nobler is than to be free;
The stars OF heaven are free because
In amplitude of liberty
Their Joy is to obey the laws.
From servitude to freedoms name
Free thou thy mind in bondage pent:
Depose the Fetch, and proclaim
The things that are more excellent.
And In appropriate dust be hurled
That duh, punctilious god whom they
That call their tiny clan the World,
Serve and obsequiously obey;
Who con their ritual Of Routine,
With minds to one dead likeness blent,
And never cen in dreams have seen
The things that are more excellent
To dress. to call, to dine, to break
No canon of tee social code,
The little laws that lacQueys make,
The futile decalogus OF Mode
How many a soul for these things lives
Without pious passion, grave intent!
While Nature careless handed gives
The things that are more excellent.
To hug the wealth ye cannot use
And lack the riches all may gain
o blind, and wanting wit to choose,
Who house the chah and burn the grain,
Aud still doth life with starry towers
Lure TO he bright, divine ascent
Be yours the things ye would; be ours
The things that are more excellent.
The grace OF friendship, mind and heart
Linked with their fellow heart and mind;
The gains OF science, gifts OF art,
The sense of oneness with our kind;
The thirst to know and understand
large and liberal d dscv1aent;
These are the goods in lits's rich hand,
The things that are more excellent.
In faultless rhythm the ocean rolls,
A rapturous silence thrills the skies;
And on this earth are lovely Rouls
That softly look with aidful eyes
Though dark, o God, thy course and track,
think thou must at least have meant
That naught which lives should wholly lack
The things that are more excellent.

If you wish to embellish the corsage of

has made q careful compilation of the rail-
road mileage of the world and finds that
the total is 375, 900 miles, and that between
the years 1887 and 1889 the increase was
526 per cent. In Europe he finds one mile
of railroad for every twenty-seven square
miles of territory and 81 miles for every
10000 inhabitants. In the United States
the figures show one mile of railroad for
every 10 8 square miles of territory and
twenty-six miles for every 10000 inhab-
itants. The value of all the railroads in
the world is placed at $32, 115, 100000.
Plate armor has reached its highest per-
fection in Germany. At first it was a
plate of rolled iron, then double plates,
then iron covered with steel, and now a
combination in which nickel is introduced,
and which is as yet a secret of the German
government. The plate is twenty-four
inches thick and the heaviest guns-and
Germany has heavier than any other ma
tion-at $50 feet distance make hardly an
impression, while the missiles of lighter
guns rebound airily. In the presence of
the emperor trial frings were made with
a missile of 1000 pounds, thrown from
gun of seventeen inches caliber, by 500
pounds of powder. They are the heaviest
coast guns, and Heliogoland is to be fur
nished with them.
The custom which fashionable dress
makers have of advertising their skill by
getting prominent women to wear their
clothes gratis is exposed by a suit in Paris
against former danssuse for the value of
impression that they had been given to her
for nothing. 1t is very common custom
apparently. An actress of the Francois,
who had been clothed in this way by the
dressmaker, took the precaution to always
pay one hundred francs for every dress
and received receipted bill. The dress
makers forewoman gave list of grand
ladies who competed in the dress exhibi-
tion with the actresses. 1t was established
to the satisfaction of the court that the
dressmaker had made it understood that
she was paid by the actress in question
wearing her gowns, and the case went
against her.
Let her go. Women are forging ahead
in other countries as we'll as in the United
States. In Belgium two young women
recently obtained employment in the
Department of Justice at Brussels, and at
Antwerp two others have secured places
under the Tribunal of Commerce. In
Sweden and in Denmark the parliaments
have voted that the ofics of stenographer
shall be filed by women. In the latter
country the Folkething has selected for
stenogrspher Nile. Grundtvig, who is one
of the leaders of the women's suffrage
movement in that country. She edits the
Kvindeny Samfundet, which is the organ
of the Danish League of Woman Suf-
fragsts. In a recent issue of the Sam
fundet she expresses the hope that having
at last reached the stenographers' tables
the women of Denmark may not have to
wait so long to secure seats on the Parlia-
ment benches.

ssCORN MEAL" MURPHY,s WORK.

"CORN MEALo MURPHY,S WORK.
The American hog is now well received
in Europe, and it is fitting thst American
corn, which has much to do with making
the American hog the pleasing and useful
creature he is, should also find approval
where he does. Therefore the work of Col
onel Charles J. Murphy, otherwise known
as Corn Meal" Murphy, deserves whatever
encouragement can be given it from this
side of the water. Colonel Murphy has
worked hard in carrying out his mission.
He has been in Europe eight years and has
travelled from country to country, showing
the bakers and housewives how to cook the
-four from corn. His first efforts were
among the bakers in England and Scot
land. Then he went to the great industrial
exhibitions and local fairs in the CONT
mental cities, showing at each point where
he sojourned the methods of cooking by
which our American corn could be made to
take the place of more expensive bread
supplies, or mixed with more expensive
fours. so that to the rich would be brought
new luxury and to the poor a cheaper
food, greater in amount, to meet their de-
mands.
The people whom Colonel Murphy has
been trying to convert have believed that
corn meal was not suitable for the food of
human beings. He has succeeded in show
ing many of them that it is, and his work
has not cost the government, whose agent
he is, great deal. His own salary has
been but $4,000 year, and he has had an
assistant with salary of 81 200 year.
The farmers of the West are hoping that
the Europeans will appreciate their corn
enough to buy large quantities of it.
Now, we believe, Europe takes only five or
six per cent. of the total amount grown.
1t seems reason able to expect that such a
process of education as that carried on by
Colonel Murphy and his assistant will bear
valuable fruit. American corn meal can
be sold low enough to make 1t profitable
eating in Europe, when its quality is con-
sidered. 1t might be well for the govern
ment to add to its European oornmeal
bureau. More agents like Colonel Murphy
would help along the good work.

woman's heart now that long sleeves and
high necks are all right for evening gowns.
Oh, how silly the women with scrawny
arms and necks have been all these years
to submit to the "fashion' that has pre-

what fashion now does, and taking from
the picturesque dresses of Desdemona's
period gowns that would suit them. When
will women learn that they should follow
fashion only if the fashion suits them.

own brains, dive into history and get
something that does suit them. Fashion

mates his Willingness to assume the re-
sponsibility.
While the political outlook Is nationally
involved in a marvellous amour of un-
certainty it is nevertheless true that
Cleveland cuts a decidedly different figure
from what he did three weeks ago. Then
he was m~oribund; now he shows evidences
of vitality. But there Is no longer
any doubt that lie is in the
presidential race and is laying
his pipes for a denomination. There Is
inst as little doubt as to his private ieel-
ings toward Hill. The New York senator
is by Inuendo singled out as his main
competitor and the man whose principles
and methods he Is most eager to combat.
1t Is too earlv yet to even attempt to pre-
dict the outcome. If the democrats in the
senate and house again strongly commit
themselves to free silver as the democrats
OF the senate nave already done we can
scarcely see how the national democracy
can select Cleveland for, ITS standard
bearer.
Hill still remains to be heard from.

will be in the country saving business him
