PROTECTION OF WOMEN.

Matilda NJ. Blake writes in the Vest
munster ReUieag for January as follows:
1t is to be remarked that under the male sr-
premacy-which is defended on the ground
that it shelters women from the rough struggle
for existence, and so gives them opportunity
to develop q refinement and gentlenesS other
wise Observation-Disclosures lives are not even
secure! Their so-called protectors daily beat,
torture and violently assault them, often with
such violence that death results; while the
male Judges appointed by a Government
chosen by an exclusively male electorate
punish the offenders in most Inadequate
manner, holding woman's lie at a less value
than purse containing few shiliings.
If this is true in the United Kingdom,
shame to it. It is not true in chivalrous
America. But Mrs. Blake proceeds to
cite statistics. The Government reports
for 1889 show the number of males con-
victed for the murder and manslaughter
of, and for all assaults upon, females, with
the sentence passed in each case. in all
towns in England and Wales of over $780,
900 inhabitants; in Scotland, for Edin-
burgh, Glasgow and Dundee; and in Ire
land, for Dublin, Belfast and Cork; all
the smaller towns and rural districts
omitted. The offenses are divided into
two main groups, those charged on in
dIctment or commitment, which range
from murder and indecent assaults of
every kind, to robbery with violence; and
those determined summarily before po-
and aggravated assaults. OF the former,
the total is 292; 43 of the sentences being
above two years; Is for two years or above
one year; 15S for one year and above three
months; 81 for three months and below.
Of the latter the total is I, 1872; one case, in
Ireland, being for one year and above six
months; 146 for six months and above
three months; 756 for three months and
above one mouth; $500 for one month
and below; 4,079 fined or to find sureties.
Thus we have 8075 assaults on women in
one year, of which only in forty-three
cases were the offenders punished with
more than two years. imprisonment.
It would be very interesting TO have
this class of statistics compiled for the
United States. If the showings were
made, we would be willing to guarantee
that no such conclusion could be reached
here as Mrs. Blake arrives at for her
country-that punishment for petty theft
is heavier than for communicating and
killing. The disposition of the American
magistrate and of American sentiment is
to give the brute who assaults a woman
the full penalty Of the law; as for muir
der, the question of sex does not at all in
huence the course of justice. We believe
that careful observers and students con-
cede that women, as class, are better
protected, more chivalrously guarded and
their rights made more secure in America
than in England. Certainly Mrs. Blake's
| statements would bear that interpreta-
/ ton.

WE invite attention to an article in this

have compiled from paper by Lieu

Of national defense, military strength
and training of the people and of ex

The suggestion concerning the placing of

to every patriotic citizen.

THERE are tricks in all trades, and it
appears that the iackass trade is not ex-
empt. Our Consul at Barcelona informs
the Secretary of State that he has been
waited upon by committee of jackass
sellers in Catalonia, who state that the in
terpreters who accompany the American
dealers in the animals make about $40
each per bargain by falsely interpreting
concerning the prices. One of these in
terpreters recently cleared S1,S60 by the
fraudulent means, and the American
buyer is the sufferer. The dealers in
jackasses fear that the practice viii injure
the trade, and have therefore petitioned
Consul Bowen to name an honest inter
prefer. This he has done, and informs
the people of the United States. through
the official Consular reports issued by the
State Department monthly and mailed to
the press, that when American buyers of

Californian jackasses dicker or price for
the animals they should engage the hon
est man, Senior Teodoro Mora of Porticos
Xifre, No. 6. third floor, Barcelona. The
State Department confirms the action of
Consul Bowen, and Senior Mora is now
officially dubbed an honest jackass in
terpreter. Let the world take notice, and
the Yankee nation be no more swindled
by Catalonian knaves.

AUTOMATIC GAMBLING.

The Nickel-in.the-Slot Machine Applied
to Dice Game.
The coin-in- -the-orifice man is still
hard at it. Up to date he has pro-
duced about 100 catching
devices and among the recent ones
are some admirable pieces of mechan-
ism. His latest is very clever affair
on the automaton order, and is de-
signed to attract those gentlemen
who like to toy with tickle fortune in
homeopathic way.
Beneath glass semi-globe is
seated the life-size figure of a monkey
with an unusually open countenance.
The beast is gotten up in an elaborate
silk-and-satin costume, and is an
ideal simian in every particular.
In one hand he holds small bowl
of gutta percha and in the other
dice box.
When any one accepts the invita-
tion upon the outside Of the case to
deposit copper in the slot the
monkeys head begins to wobble from
side to side in a highly derisive man
ner. Suddenly he begins to shake
the dicebox, and with a sudden turn
of his mechanical wrist throws five
poker dice into the gutta percha
bowl. They remain there long enough
to allow the player outside to get a
satisfactory view of them, and then
the box drops to the edge of the bowl,
the dice are turned into it and the
monkey is ready for another throw.

"Sweated" Gold Coins.

New York sub-Treasury officials
have detected number of light
weight gold pieces among coin
recently received from Cali
fornia. 1t is believed that the
Chinese are working systematic
scheme OF placing coins in an electric
bath, by which process about 5 per
cent OF the gold is "sweated" out. As
the Government will not accept coins
which have lost more than one-half of
l per cent, all lightweight coins are
stamped with big l. and returned to
the banks from which they were re-
ceived.
