CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-Committees rep
resenting the conductors and brakemen
of the Illinois Central Co are in the
city comforting with General Superin-

that the employees have no special
grievance. and that the principal OBJ.

plan to regulate the schedule move
ment of local freight trains so as to
equalize the length of the runs Vice
President Harahan says that slight
changes in the schedule of wages may
also be made. but they will be more in
the nature of adjustment than an in

A New Kind OF Drunk.

The latest craze in Boston, according
to recent report, is the compound oxy-
gen drunk. There are half dozen es-
Establishments in the Hub that are doing
a rushing business in catering to this
form of dissipation. They are patron
lied exclusively by men and women Of
highest social position, the women out
numbering the men. The sensation
produced by the inhalation of COM
pound oxygen is described by those
who have tried it as ecstatic. There Is
nothing known to the science of med
icine or pharmacy that equals its de-
lights. Big quaffs Of it that FILL the
lungs air cells are said to set all the
nerves Of the body a-tinyle and the
brain in delicious whirl The effect
lasts all the way from five minutes to
an hour, according to the person, and
is said to have no apparently deleterious
results except q peculiar mental col
lapse. from which the dissipator doesn't
recover for several hours. While under
the strange influence of the stuff one
feels completely lost to the world and
oblivious to everything terrestrial. That
Is the reason it is called the compound
oxygen drunk.

AGREES WITH US.
{Communicated.)

EDITORS WORLD: Your article
with reference to the difference
between wages paid to hired men
and hired girls struck me as being
timely as it certainly was forcible
and breathed the spirit of justice.
Yes, if women voted, politicians
would see that we received more
favors than we do now. We, that is
the most Of us, do not want to vote.
We don't believe in woman suffrage.
We have right to ask for justice
though.
We find the same unjust discrimi-
nation in nearly every department
of work. Women doing the same
work that their brothers do and
doing it equally as well receive only
about half the compensation. Is
there any justice in this? If women
voted they would demand that their
wrongs be redressed and they would
be listened to.
The writer Of this is not a hired
girl but has been and knows all
about it. The girl who makes her
living working by the week, who
endures the sights. humiliation and
hard labor and preserves her limo
cence and womanly dignity is entit-
led to the highest praise that can be
bestowed. She is pure gold and
often worthy of more confidence
and esteem than her employer who
treats her as though she was of
an inferior order.
In behalf of women who are
bread winners allow me to say to
the other sex that their flsttery and
fine sayings don't count so long as
they are not willing to be just and
fair. We ask for no special privi-
leges or favors but we do insist On
lust treatment.
1t is refreshing to find one poll
tician who has the courage to call
attention to existing evils without
even the hope Of beneftting his
party or securing votes thereby.

The Decline Of Marriage.

Alarmists have been putting forth an
effort to persuade the public that
marriage is declining" Many OF these
are women, consequently logic does not
enter largely into their lucubrations on
the subject. They assume, says the
Chicago Globe, that marriage is declin-
ing and then attempt to tell why.
There seems to be no authority
for the belief that marriage is de-
clining. Statistics from the records
of the marriage license clerk show
that in Chicago alone between the
years of 1886 and 1889 the rate of
increase in the number of marriages
was "a per cent. In New York, be-
tween 1885 and 1890, it was %
per cent. and in Boston, % per
cent. during the same period. From
these figures it will be seen that even
In the largest city in the United
States where the struggle for existence
Is sharpest and the conditions for mat
rimony are least favorable the marriage
rate shows the greatest increase.
Among the states, Delaware easily leads
with an increase of 50 per cent. between
1881 and 1885. The rate in Minnesota
between 1880 and 1885 was 90 per cent.
increase, and New Jersey 81 per cent.
for the same. European statistics show
that in Ireland, Scotland, Denmark,
Belgium, Hungary and France marriage
is declining. In England, where the
rate is highest for Europe, there was an
increase of only 8 per cent. between
1885 and 1889, and during the same time
In the Netherlands the rate was per
cent, in the German empire per cent,
and In Austria ~ per cent. This falls
far below the rate of increase of the
population. Our own United States
shows up well and.it does not yet appear
that many marriage license clerks are
in imminent danger of losing their sit
ia tons

The Wichita Eagle says that the
coming fight will be one not for
men but for principle. 1t will be a
contest involving the credit of Kan
sas, and one affecting all her securi-
ties. The defeat of the republican
party in Kansas would be financial
ruin to- every business interest in
the state, and every business man in
the state, whether democratic or
republican, knows it. 1t will be a
conflict wherein living issues and
progressive ideas will be pitted
against the wild notions and un-
tenable theories of a calamity con-
tingent, and the rusty traditions of
a democratic remnant. Il will be a
fight for financial life and sustained
credit against fusion which hopes
only for the spoils incident to the
triumph Of eonfusion.-Atchison

THE Stockton Record is our
authority for saying that NJ. c.
Reville will be a candidate for re-
nomination at the senatorial con-
ventlon to be held in Oberlin, Aug
ust 10. Senator Reyilie made a
manly fight and redeemed this DIS
trict two years ago. We have met
Mr.. Reyille and we like him. He is
an able man. In fact there are
perhaps no better in the district for
the Office. At the same time Mr..
ReYille will admit that she has had
his day in court" for this year. He
was candidate before the
Colby convention for congress and
his delegation stood by him to the
last. We think it would only be
fair to make the nomination from
the ranks of the candidates who
have not aspired to other important
Offices during the present campaign.
Other things being equal we think
it would look better. Don't you?
