SHE GOETHE PLACE.

A young woman of this city with some
literary taste, prompted by a commend
able desire to become self-supporting
set out to find congenial employment up
on some one of the Chicago dailies. Re-
solutely she knocked at the door of each,
but in vain. All the places were filled
and no prospect of vacancy. Nothing
daunted, she made a list from the Di-
rectory of all the publishing houses and
trade papers, determined to persevere
until success crowned her efforts. One
by one these places were visited, until
finally, when she had come to nearly the
end of her rounds, she found a most
agreeable gentleman who, in bland voice,
inquired the object of her call.
81 desire editorial employment upon
your paper, sir" she said.
81 should be glad to engage your ser
vices" replied the gentleman pleasantly,
"but fear your could not possibly meet
the requirements of an editor upon my
paper We are specialists, and ladies do
not usually inform themselves upon our
business.
~ don't know about that, sir. In
deed 1 feel that l can write upon al
most any subject. Although young, 1
have had considerable experience"
Doubtless, miss, but you see ours is

well, sir" she spoke up bravely, "it's
quite true that l haven't read very much
about those very interesting animals, but
have an uncle who has reared quite a
number of them, and | guess he could
post me for the position"
She got place, and good one Such
perseverance always wins.-ChicdgO

PowDERLY ON HOMESTEAD.

Partisan papers are endeavoring to
make political capital out of the terrible
scenes which took place at Homestead
the other day. The Democratic papers
are vehement in their denunciation of
the Republican party for enacting
Tariff law under which Protection was
afforded to manufacturers. There is no
love for workmen in the hearts of these
editors; desire to serve party interests
alone actuates them. Let us review the
situation in brief. Tariff laws could not
be passed without discussion, and in all
the debates which took place in Congress
over the Mills and Mckinley bills l can
not find that single amendment was
offered by Democrat to give the work
men a certain portion of the tariff when
collected
The Mills bill and the Mckinley bill
differ very little in the duty on steel
rails, plates, etc. One was Democratic
bill, the other Republican. The Nc
Kinley bill reduced the duty on the arti-
cles manufactured at Homestead, and
Democratic papers, in asserting that the
trouble at that point is due to the Nc
Kinley bill, are but condemning the very
thing that they themselves advocate and
on which they base their claim to power
"a reduction of the tariff The Pinker-
tons existed before the Mills bill was
introduced in Congress, and that institu-
ton continues to flourish now that the
Mckinley bill is in force. Whether the
tariff went up or down, disputes be-
tween employer and employed would
continue. Wor6ngmen are not the
fools that politicians believe them to be,
for we do not feel that the coming of the
millennium depends upon the way Con-
gress legislates on the Tariff.
If our Democrats who are so eager to
make political capital out of this diff
Guilty will lend me their ears l will whis-
per to them that Representative Watson,
of Georgia, has had a measure before
Congress for the last four or five months
which aims at the abolition of the Pink
ertons as factor in the industrial life of
the United States. The Democratic par
ty has sweeping majority in Congress !;
it has a full knowledge of the acts of the
| Pinkertons on previous occasions.
have presented evidence enough to Con-
gress to prove that Pinkerton is an enc
my to American liberty. The Demo-
cratic majority has a knowledge of the
existence of Watson's bill, and it has up
to the present time dillied and dallied
with it, and has no idea of passing it.

"WHERE WAS AT?"

A New York citizen, writing to the
New York Tribune says:
One night lately l was reading the
proceeds of the Jag Committee and
dropped asleep and dreamed that l was
hearing the Democratic Congressman s
Judge Cobb speech.
dreamed that it was Grover Cleve-
land making it, and when he came to
the question:: "Where was l at?''
heard echoes in answer. They seemed
to come from all sections of the country,
and some of the answers ran as follows:
"You are at-the work of reducing the
wages of our wage earners to near the
level now current in Europe"
"You are at-the task of changing the
present prosperous condition of the
country and bringing hard times upon
u.s."
"You are at-the operation of stopping
the mills and workshops of this coun-
try"
''You are at-the work that will re-
duce the value of real estate"

BABY,s NURSING BOTTLE,


A few days ago baby left town by
train. To be sure, there were others
the mother and father and the baby's
nurse. But these didn't count, for it
was first baby. The dining-car attach
ment to the baby's train was nursing
bottle.
Inc memnars &c 49, srvup had dis
posed themselves comfortably in the car,
and it was just drawing out of the
station when the nurse discovered that
the baby's nursing bottle was missing.
Search was made for it everywhere-on
the floor, in the bags, even in the pockets
of the unhappy father; there was the
nice little pail of cold milk intended to
fill the bottle, there was the package of
baby food, there was everything but the
bottle.
A days journey without nursing
bottle!
"And she's too little to drink thing"
walled the young mother.
Under such unusual circumstances of
storm and stress as this, there was but
one thing to do-to call the porter. And
they did it.
The porter reflected. They might
telegraph on to the next station, he
finally suggested: Telegraph to the
station master to have man meet the
train with baby's nursing bottle"
"Oh, yes!' gasped the mother with
an air of relief
Just the thing said the father
gladly, and followed the grinning porter
down the car.
IS ee here" said the young man, slip
ping bill into the black hand, you'd
better tend to the matter and telegraph
on ahead to half dozen stations or so,
and have bottles sent down. The first
one might miss, you know, and we must
be sure and have bottle"
eyes, sir" said the porter. 81 under
stand"
And evidently he did. For when the
first station he had telegraphed to was
reached in came youth with a nursing
bottle. 1t was put to work at once, and
quiet brooded over the car. At the next
station there came in youth with
nursing bottle. This was gladly received
as understudY for the first in case of dis
aster. When the train stopped again,
another nursing bottle appeared in the
doorway. Then the passengers began to
smile, and the next station began to be
anticipated by them.
Sure enough, at the next station the
most prominent person on the station
platform was man with one of those
unmistakable bottles. Then the people
laughed, and the only unconcerned
person in the car was the baldheaded
one for whom all this was going on.
At the next station another man and
another bottle. Then the young mother
began to get hysterical. "We're perfect
sightsl' she was heard to whisper, ex-
citedly. "We're not an orphan asylum
nor baby farm"
Then the young father was seen to go
hastily out and interview the porter once
more. This time the medium of ex-
change was silver. The porter had evil
