IMAGINARY EVILS AND IMPOSSIBLE
REMEDIES,

One of the mistakes of those who have
been presenting evilswhich are creating
~discontent is that they have permitted
their i%maginations to furnish assump-
tions instead of deducing their state
ments from facts. For instance. one Of
these writer's stated that while wheat
and corn have been rotting in the fields
in one part of the country because they
have no value. people in another portion
were suffering for bread. That is one
assertion. Where are the facts to sustain
it, The Journal has an extended exchange
list, but it has yet to find a paper
published in the West setting forth that
wheat and corn have been rotting in the
fields because they have no value, or
that any considerable number of people
in the East are in need of bread. Wheat
is very cheap, it is true, but 1t is not
worthless in the West. nor is bread a
luxury in the East. Moreover, the cost
of the transportation of grain is lower
than it has ever been, and the
difference between the Western price of
whe at and the Eastern price is as small
as it ever has been, and has been de-
creasing for twenty years. II assertion
is to take the place of fact, rs it has
very largely in regard to such matters.
there will be no end of dissatisfaction
created, but no remedy presented. The
first matter of Importance, when there
is a disease. is to determine its origin
and its nature. The quack who gave
his patients something to throw them
into commissions because he was death
on fits" has as good title to claim to be
a physician as has the self-proclaimed
economist who declares that evils exist
which do not, and recommends q rem
edy based upon his misconceptiOn. The
government ownership and nag
ment of railroads is one of the things
that may come in the United States,
and will come if Professor Ely
is a real prophet, but before it
comes we must have n deal of
education. Nor is it any reason why
such management could be made sue
cessful in this great country with 175, 600
miles of railroad, with n popular gov
ernment, because in European states
not so large as several single States of
this Republic, 2.000 or $4,000 miles
of railway, under autocratic govern
ment. are run with more or less success.
There are thousands of miles of railroad
which are not paying any interest on the
money they cost. On the other hand.
there are many thousands of miles which
are earning dividends upon fictitious
stock, Intelligent inquiry into the cost
of railroads, with O view to legislation
regulating their rates of transportation.
is a practical matter. but under present
conditions the assumption of railroad
management by the government would
give to those in charge of it n power
greater than the Gar of Russia exer-
| cises. without any assurance of lower
rates of transportation, and with a very
grave danger of an inferior service. In
any event, it will be wise to test gov
| ernmental management with the tele-
phone or the telegraph before experi-
menting with the railroads.

sit down and mend these stockings and
rest awhile" says the wife, but her
husband throws himself on the easy
lounge, or sits back in his arm char,
with hands at rest and feet placed hori-
zontally upon another chair. The re-
suit is that his whole body gains full
benefit of the half hour he allows him
self from work, and the wife only re-
ceives that indirect help which com, S
from change of occupation. A physi
clan would tell her that taking even
ten minutes rest in horizontal posi-
ton, as a change from sitting or stand
ing at work, would prove more benefi
cial TO her than any of her makeshifts
at resting. Busy women have a habit
of keeping on their feet just as long as
they can, in spite of backaches and
warning pains. AS they grow older
they see the folly of permitting such
drafts upon their strength, and learn to
take things easier, let what will hap

The Women of To-day.

1t is expected to-day that a woman
should do whatsoever her hands find to
do as thoroughly as her brother, that no
slip-shod work should he furnished her
on account of her sex or her lack of
preparation for the task, But she is
not TO expect equal compensation, how
ever; the power of doing equal labor is
enough for the weaker vessel just now.
To be of any weight in the world, of
consequence to anybody but herself,
and TO achieve any social success, she
must not only be well bred, but she
must be well read, on intimate terms
with the poets, be acquainted with the
shibboleth of her day, understand the
great composers and the great mas
lers of almost every art, and learn the
outlines of great political situations.
She must not be ignorant of the
sciences, and she must speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, and
often, at the same time, ca n her daily
bread, or supervise her household and
run the sewing machine. The twelve
labors of Hercules were light in COM
parison; his back, let us hope, was bet
ter fitted for his burdens than hers
usually is. Dissipating herself, more
over, in so many directions, she ac-
quires little or no concentration at any
given point, and the cry goes up anent
the incompleteness of woman's work
and the superliciality of her knowl-
edge.-T. W. Higginson.
