Commissioner Peck's Strange Re
port. t

Commissioner Peck's Strange Re
port. 9.
Charles F. Peck was appointed Com
missioner of Statistics of Labor in
May, 1888, by Grover Cleveland, then
Governor of the State of New York.
He had been editor of a small paper
in Elmira, and he was the first to
launch David B. Hills boom for Lieu
tenant Governor of New York. His
appointment was due to Hills in
fiuence.
In the campaign of 1884, he made
some particularly indiscreet and in
furious remarks which obtained wide
spread publicity in the Republican
papers. They were regarded as doing
the candidacy of Grover Cleveland for
the Presidency very serious mischief.
1t was said Peck was drunk when he
was guilty of the u~tteranees in ques-
ton.
Notwithstanding this political Of
fence, Governor David B. Hill, when
Peck's term expired in 1886, failed to
make any appointment to succeed
him. He has never made any ap-
pointment, and, during Hills service
as Governor, Peck continued to "hold
over" This year, Governor Flower,
at HilPs instance it is conceded, re-
nominated Peck to the Senate, and
he was confirmed for another three
years term as Commissioner of Stats
tics of Labor for the State of New
York.
This morning, the New York papers
have more or less copious presenta-
lions Of the latest annual report of
Peck's Bureau. This strange docu-
ment consists of a loose inchoate
tumble of figures, meaningless, in
conclusive and unscientific in them
selves, but distorted with an Iago-
like cunning into a tremendous
showing in favor of the Nc Kiniey bill
and the policy of prohibitive tariff in
general.
OF course, to thinking people thi S
document "a nothing. They will |
see that it deals with only one side o
the question. They will see that there
is no analysis of true causes. They
will see that all fluctuations of trade,
the difference between good and bad
years, natural growth, and every
other element which a scientific man
or even a man of ordinary intelli-
gence, if he were honest, would have
weighed, has been wholly ignored in
this paper. The thinking man will
see that the question of increase or
decrease In totals of wages shows
nothing anyway, that it is the ratio of
wages to work that is the vital point
eve of the limited phase of the sub
ject that Peck deals with.
But, to the unthinking, the conclu-
sions will doubtless appear to be a
formidable argument in favor of Nc
Kinleyism. The tens of thousands,
who are caught by a figure and con-
WINGED by an alleged fact, without
analysis or enquiry, will doubtless be
deeply moved by this document. We
have no doubt it will be reprinted and
extensively used by the Republican
campaign committees as a valuable
campaign paper.
1t is said that David B. Hill and
Chairman Edward Murphy Of the
New York State Democratic Commit
tee were consulted before the report"
was made public. and that they
authorized its publication.
We would like to know, in common
with a million of other democrats,

What the Eyes Tell.

One can always trust the gray, full
orb that looks clearly out from under
lashes long and straight. The gray
eye with curling lashes is a certain
sign of a frivolous nature, while a
small, oval brown optic, with fecks
of contrasting color near the pupil,
indicates a highly temporal
ment with literary tendencies. This
eye is always overshadowed by sad
ness when in repose, and is such a
one as many poets and painters have
possessed.
Large, liquid black eyes denote a
sympathetic nature easily moved, but
with no great depth of feeling. Eyes
of whatever hue, if set close together,
tell to the world that their owner is
not to be trusted. Beware the shift
ing glance-it threatens danger. A
full, dark blue eye is the very
type of honest intention and resolute
purpose, yet a light, watery one be-
trays a weak. vacillating nature,
easily influenced for good or evil, but
more often tending toward the latter
rather than the former course. The
eye of keen perception and rare ability
is the deep brown, with nc mellow
ness, but a look on its surface as of
high polish.
This eye reads you through and
through and is the index of a nature
calculating, cold and hard in business
dealing, yet staunch and true in its
friendships. -Pbal0delphdG Times.

We hope this will not be so. We

Good Tnsto in Dress.

Where have we picked up the idea
that fastidious taste is an expensive
trait of character? On the contrary,
it is about the best aid to personal
economy which a man can possibly
have. Instead of being constantly
tempted by all sorts of cheap plea
sures, spurious art or hideous fads,
taste protects him from
such temptations, and limits his am
bltions to only the very best art, best
literature, most serviceable clothes
and refined enjoyments. 1t is not
good taste which is costly: it is bad
taste, which continually impels its
owner to spend his substance OIL that
which satisfieth not. If aestheticism
ever gets as enthusiastic prophets as
total abstinence has had we may hear
startling estimates of the sum an
nually spent in sacrifices TO false ideals
OF beauty and enjoyment.-KGte

Jealousy of Frenchwomen.

1t is not at all unlikely that the
jealousy Dr. the downright aversion
shown by the French medical
students to female competition arises
from that curious social conservatism
which prevails among a nation who
rarely miss the opportunity to pro-
claim themselves the most democratic
people in Europe. There have always
been a great many crafts and employ
ments open to Frenchwomen from
which English women were, until q
very recent period, almost entirely de-
barred. From time immemorial in
Paris and other large French towns
the sh%opkeeper's wife has oficiated
as his bookkeeper and cashier, and
very often late at night, while mon
sieur is playing dominoes or billiards.
or enjoying his cigar and his ''bock''
at his ~favorite cafe. madame is pain
fully balancing her books behind the
counter of the deserted but still
brilliantly lit shop.
Women, again, in France have an
almost entire monopoly in selling
newspapers at the kiosques, or in
keeping "bureaux de tabac." They
may also practice art, without let or
hindrance, and they may attain, if
they have the talent and the capacity,
bright eminence as painters, sculp-
tors, engravers or draftswomen in
black and white; but the Academy of
Fine Arts persistently sets it's face
against the admission of lady mem
