Recognition Of Miss Anthony.

New York sun.
1t is announced from Albany that
Governor Flower has appointed
Miss Susan B. Anthony to the Office
of manager Of the state Industrial
.looI in the city Of Rochester.
This act of Governor Flower is to be
highly commended 1t will give
pleasure to the multitude Of women
and men all over the country who
know Miss Anthony, or have heard
her speeches, or are acquainted with
the history of her life. 1t will be
well regarded by those who have
disapproved of her advocacy Of wo-
man suffrage not less than by those
who have approved OF 1T.
1t is over foIty-three years since
Miss Anthony began her public ca
reer by calling "a convention of the
women of this state for the mainte
nance of rights now freely accorded
to them; and during all those years
she has been conspicuous as an adj
yocate of various refOrmatOry and
phianthropic objects, especially of
those in the interest of her own sex,
and more especially ef female suf-
frage. She has presided over hun
dreds of conventions; she has deliv-
cred thousands of speeches and lee
lures; she has written profusely and
energeticalIy in favor of her ideas.
Withal, her demeanor and lite have
always been covered by moral
standard worthy of her American
womanhood; and we may suppose
that this had an especial influence
in leading Governor Flower to make
her manager of the state industri-
al school.
She is undoubtedly well qualified
tor the office. AS far back as the
year 1887, when she was but II
years of age, she entered upon the
duty of school teaching in this state,
and followed it regularly for at least
FIVE years. She has never lost her
interest in education or in the train
ing of youth: and now again she
will have opportunity of exercising
those talents which were first put to
service in earl life

experienced. In either case it is a
hard struggle. Women are not
built for warriors in 50 unequal a
struggle, therefore when circum-
stances compel them to take up the
burden on their own trail shoulders,
encouragement instead of reproach
should be their portion.
1t does not argue that because a
woman stands behind the counter all
day, or clicks away at the keys OF a
typewriter, or even presides over
our kitchen, that she has not as good
blood in her veins as her more famed
sisters. She may have sprung from
race of kings. Her ancestry may
be the proudest in the land, yet the
elusive dollar may have hied itself
away to the Golfers of some person
who knows not their own grandfath-
er, and the plucky American girl,
finding that one cannot live on the
memory of what has been, turns to
with a courage that nine times out
Of ten insures her success, notwith-'

The latter lady, however, had bet
ter remember that riches, alas! have
wings, land there may be day when
her own proud self and her high and
mighty daughters will find it COM
pulsory to fraternize with the people
whom to-day they regard with dis
favor. When that time comes they
will be wonderfully surprised to
find that there are many real ladies
of birth and breeding among the
ranks oil the worlds wage-earners.

between them and the third party
movement, blocking their way, and
taking their fire, rather than see them
succeed in their internal schemes.
The published statement of j. HI.
Mcdowell, Of Tennessee, in the
Economist of Dec. 8, says that "Sec-
rotary L. K. Taylor was present at
one OF the slate making meetings
and arose and protested against the
private caucus" charge that
when Mr.. Mcdowell wrote that ar
ticle he knew it was maliciously
false.
Mr., Taylor told me after the con-
vention, in the presence of Mr.. Tau
beneck, that Mr.. Mcdowell "made
this statement in the convention,
and that he arose then and corrected
it.'
While at Memphis | devoted all
my time to preparing the constitu-
ton of the Industrial Legion, and
with Chairman Taubeneck in organ
izing that order. The reporters, as
well as DR.. Macune and his friends,
not knowing what we were doing,
took it for granted that we were OPP
Grating upon the delegates when we
were not.
The enmity of these men who are
anxious to side.track and destroy
the Peoples party is in itselfa guar
antee of our faithfulness and loyalty
to our trust.
At Memphis, DR.. Macune resorted
to every scheme known to adroit
politicians to save himself He
threatened; he endeavored to create
sentiment; he abjectly appealed for
mercy, and finally resorted to tears,
but all to no avail. His downfall
was of his own creation and was
well deserved.

FOUR BURNED TO DEATH:
A Mother and Three Children crem atsd
Near Brainsrd, Mipn.

A Mother and Three Children crem atsd
Near Brainsrd, Ninn.
BRAlNERD, Mimi, Feb. IAN awful
fatality occurred four miles west of this
city by which four people lost their
lives. A house belonging to George
Cramer caught fire, and his wife and
three children were cremated. The hus-
band was away at the time, but saw the
fire and found the burned bodies.
Coroner Balm has just returned from
the scene of the fatality. The bodies
lay in the cellar all together, burned be-
yond recognition. The husband of the
woman said he left at q. IN. for work
and returned at noon to find the ghastly
sight. He is nearly crazed with grief.
The only theory now advanced is that
the house took fire under the floor, that
Mrs. Cramar was outside and, on dis
covering it she rushed in to save the
children, and all were precipitated into
the cellar. Another theory is that in
attempting to light the fire with kero-
sene, the can exploded and burned them
before they could escape. Not even a
shingle of the house was left unburned.
The coroner will return verdict of ac-
cidental burning.

Toistoi .Criricizes Russia's Methsd Of
Dealing with Starving Peasants.
ST. PETERLBURG, Feb. LIN letter
to the government Count Leo Tolstoi
declares that the relief distributions of
Hour is inadequate to meet the needs of
the situation. He says that there are
three types of peasants. The first of
these is relatively well to do, having
twelve acres Of land and probably four
horses, and those next in possessions
1and and two horses. Over the second
class-those with the two horses the
sword, of famine is continually suspend
ed, and they must be helped to keep
them from sinking to the level of the
third and1owest class, who are actually
starving and for whom lack of assist
ance means death. The government is,
however, only helping the lowest class,
assuming apparently that no aid should
be given to those who have a remnant of
property left. Count Tolstoi thinks this
is wholly wrong and that the second
class on the verge of absolute want
should be prevented from falling over
the brink.

THIRTY CASES NOW.
Small Pox Mt Angel Isiand Quarantine
Rapidly Developing.

Small Pox mt Angel Island Quarantins
Rapidly Developing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-Itlooks now
as though q majority of the 500 Chinese
cooped up at the uarantine station on
Angel island will come down with small
pox. 1t Is reported that there are thirty
cases, although an official count gives
only . dozen. This disparity is due to
the fact that the Chinese conceal the
presence of the disease as long as posi-
bic. as they dread medical treatment by
whites. The military still maintain their
dead line, and no quarantined persons
are allowed near it. Six European pas
sengers who are confined with the
Chinese, are making great complaints
over lack Of suitable accommodations.
Another China steamer is expected next
Thursday, and if small pox be aboard
the Pacific Mail company will have to
furnish hulk as lazaret, as the quar-
antine station cannot accommodate any
more.

HAVE BECOME HUMOROUS.

The Complications Over Mr.. Oates
BIaSkmaiIing Bill Increase.
WASHINGTON. Feb. THE complica-
tions over Mr.. Oates Matchmaking bill
increase. They have reached the hnmor-
ous stage. Mr. Oates explained to
numerous newspaper correspondents
that he had no intention of striking at
the liberty of the press. There are
some sharks around here" he said. "and
we want to get at them" But when he
read the bill and saw that it declared
publication or attempted publication
"for the purpose of ridicule" to be
blackmail, punishable with both 6ne
and imprisonment, he stoutly repudi-
ated his own offspring. He said his clerk
had made mistake In copying the bill
and that it had never been the intention
to pass such measure Mr.. Oates went
to Mr.. Culberson, the chairman of the
Judiciary committee. Mr.. Culberson
was justly provoked. He said that the
favorable report on such bill was re-
Election on the whole committee. He
had advised Mr.. Oates to 60 at once to
the senate and arrange to get the bill
returned to the house il Ii were not too
late. Mr.. Oates went to the senate.
What was his astonishment to discover
that Senator Hoar had already re-
ported the bill to the senate favorably
and without changing syllable, and
that it was upon the calendar, to be
passed as soon as reached, for the report
by the judiciary committee of the SEN
ate had been unanimous.
MIR. Oates explained his mistake. Sem
ator Hoar smiled blandly, said he
thought the bill was admirable and
would not consent to the return OF it.
Senator Pugh. Of tho Judiciary commit
tee, Endorsed Senator Hoar's Judgment.
1t seems that Senator Pugh has recently
been held up to ridicule by Demo
cratic newspaper in . manner he con-
siders utterly unjustifable. Senator
Hoar has always entertained the opinion
that newspapers are too MIpant in their
comments upon public men. His own
nephew, Sherman Hoar, member of the
house has recently been ridiculed un-
mercifully. Under such circumstances,
Senators Hoar and Pugh approve Of
making publication "for the purpose of
ridicule' misdemeanor. The other
members of the senate Judiciary COM
mittee seem to have overlooked the real
scope of the bill, for they were amazed
when their attention was called to 1t.
There will probably be lively times in
the senate before the bill is disposed of.

STURGEON BAY, Wis, Feb. 1.-Word
has reached here that the heavy wind
Thursday had broken up the ice north
Of Chambers island and in the Door, and
six men engaged in fishing had been car

had been heard from them up to this

possible that the field of ice may land
them safely at some point along the
shore.
