SOCIETY.

On Monday evening Mrs. Ozro w.
Childs entertained the Merry Wives
whist club, their husbands and some
other friends at her residence in St.
Jamee Park. The affair was for the dis
tribution Of prizes for the first series Of
games of the club. Mrs. Childs, who is
one of the most charming hostesses in
the city, received her many guests with
her well-known graciousness, and for
two hours the assembly played whist,
the ladies displaying rare ability in this
game of all games.
At the conclusion of the playing DR..
MacGowan presented the prizes to the
Merry Wives, who had made the three
highest scores in the series OF games
played during the past three months.
To Mrs. Henry Feischman was awarded
the first prize, gold and ivory pate
litter; Mrs. Chsuncey M. Baker took
second prize, an exquisite etching, and
Mrs. DR.. MacGowan WAS given the third,
a silver bon bon dish and spoon.
The club has reorganized, and besides
the old members several new ones have
joined, and the CLUB is now more -four
iehing than ever. As Mre. Childs or
ganized the affair in the first place, the
members feel that they are indebted to
her for the great amount of enjoyment
the meetings have afforded them. Here
after prizes will be awarded every month
for the highest scores.
At the games played Monday evening
at Mrs. Childs', Miss Lee took first
prize. beautiful Rookwood vase. Mrs.
Dan Mcfarland made the second highest
score, and was awarded silver card re-
ceiver, and Mr.. Conroy took the prize
for the highest score made by the men.
Elaborate refreshments were served,
including most fascinating punch, and
the spacious parlors were crowded by
the guests, despite the exceptional in
clemency of the weather.

found Of evsdins logical consequences.
Long before the free competition OF women
had brought down wages 10 one-half OF their
present amount. the vigorous and enter
prising adult males would. as Mr.. BEsANT
has prophesied, leave England In great
numbers. They would emigrate to some
country where an able-bodied man could
still earn mans wages, and where wom-
an was still expected to take charge OF her
children and OF her home. The surplus
of females over males. which oven now Is
noticed in England, would acquire alarm
ing proportions. and the rapid dwindling OF
the population would arouse feminine re-
formers themselves to the necessity OF
remedial legislation. 1t Is the consideration
OF these economical consequences Of the
woman's rights movement,which has trans
formed Mr.. HERBERT SPENCER from an
advocate into an opponent.
1t is plain, however, that signal change
has come over the discussion OF this subject.
The abstract justice OF womans demand for
equal rights is no longer disputed; 1t Is only
the expediency Of exercising such rights
which Is questioned. And even this ques-
ton OF expedlency Is submitted to their own
good sense,

Skill Is skill and luck is luck. to be sure,

strenuous disapproval manifested of the
sailing Of the Vigilant last Thursday Tho
air was that tickle and delicate that n man
ON one boat could not appreciate the cir
cumstances Of another sailing only hun
dred yards away from him. This describes
the relation between the skipper OF the Wig

all aside and conclude that tho course
adopted on the Vigilant was sound. accord

An Improper Comparison.

Mr.. WILSON, the Chairman OF the Ways
and Means Committee. is reported rs hav-
| ing replied to question whether the Tariff
| bill would be reported by the LIST OF Novem-
Der. that "in the Fifty-arst Congress the
| Committee on Ways aud Means, which was
appointed early in December. did not re-
port the MCKINLEY bill until the middle Of
| April. period of six months"
We cannot believe that Mr.. WILSON ever
made any such remark. unless. perhaps, for
the purpose of merely evading a pointed
question which he did not deem 1t proper
for him to answer directly.
The unconstitutional MCKINLEY bill. art
fully and laboriously contrived to further
the robbery OF protection. and the con-
stitutlonal bill for the repeal Of the
eliminating atrocity" Of McKinleyism
and the utter destruction Of the whole
system Of protection. are not compar
able in that way. The framing OF
protective tariff Is job OF extreme diff
Guilty and perplexity. Every item must be
considered carefully with view to its pos
sible contribution to the general robbery.
Protection must be afforded as protection
against protection. II one industry is pro-
tected. another industry using Its product
must be protected accordingly. II wool Is
protected the wool manufacturer must have
compensatory protection. II sugar Is free.
the domestic sugar producer must have a
bounty. So it is. the schedules through.
Hence the preparation Of 1.-The culminat-
ing atroclty" Of the MCKINLEY bill neces-
STATED many months OF labor on the part
OF the protectionist Ways and Means Com
mittee of the Fifty-frst Congress. The
square division Of the swag was vexatious
task, and 1t consumed much time.
Mr.. WILSON'S committee has no such la
Dor imposed upon it. It is not considering
the distribution Of the proceeds of robbery.
Its business Is to stop the robbery. by max
ing a uniform tariff with no reference to
protection. but with the sole purpose Of
destroying protection as an unconsti-
tutional and atrocous system Of public
plumber for private benefit. Accordingly,
none Of Its time need be consumed
in the balancing and adjusting of tariff
taxes. which made the task OF the McK1N-
LEY committee 30 laborious. 1t is not
obliged to puzzle itself over questions Of the
effect Of Its taxes on any particular indus
tries. for 1t Is making tariff which is solely
for the purpose OF raising revenue sufficient
for the Government when honestly and
economically administered. leaving every
industry to look out for itself.
How. then. can the time taken by Mr..
MCKINLEY In contriving an unconstitu-
tional system OF robbery afford any critic
rion Of the time required by Mr.. WILSON to
prepare a constitutional tariff for no other
purpose than to obtain revenue by fair
and equal means. with no discrimination in
favor OF any industry or against it,
So far as the work required Of the Com
mlttee OF Ways and Means Is concerned,
there Is no reason why the constitutional
tariff should not be reported to Congress
before the first OF November.

The Moors at MeliIla.

The attack made by the Riff tribes upon
the garrison at Melilla was so fierce and
sanguinary that 1t cannot possibly be
passed over by the Madrid Government as
an ordinary Incident. The severe losses
suffered by her troops will justify Spain in
exacting Of Sultan MULEY HAssAN heavy
indemnity and substantial guarantees: and
while the Moorish Government has already
FASTENED to offer reparation and to disclaim
sympathy with these lawless mountaineers
near the northern coast Of Its territory.
yet the broader question OF what Is to be
done with Morocco inevitably comes up.
In that question. England. Italy. Spain.
and France are all concerned. while even
Germany has certain pretensions to consid-

present status In that empire rather than

That she would insist. in any partition Of

share may be taken for granted; but she
would not willingly disturb the status quo
With France the question involved Is
somewhat different, since in holding Algeria
she Is brought into controversy with Mo-
rocco now and then. over their respective
territorial rights. The recent dispute con-
corning the oasis Of Toust is an example of
the conflicts which arise. while the projected
railway from Algeria to Senegal would
probably increase them. The time might
come when 1t would be for the interest OF
France to overthrow the present dynasty
In Morocco. although her existing rela tions
with his Shereellan Majesty are friendly.
