The Democrats in the House are act
ing more like a lot of badly demoralized
school boys than statesmen. They pro-
missed that the new tariff bill should be
reported to the House on the first day
of the session, apd the bill has not yet
been report, although Mr.. Wilson pro-
misses that it shall be this week. The
Democrats of the Ways and Means
committee have already made dozens
of minor changes intthe tariff bill, thus
acknowledging thai it was not proper
ly considered before it was made pub
lie. They are now squabbling among
themselves about submitting the bill to
caucns before it is reported, and
Democrats are openly saying that they
will not vote for the bill unless certain
industries in their districts are protect
ed. The House committee on banking
and currency, which has been wrestling
with that plank of the Chicago plat
form, which promised tbe repeal Of the
ak on state bank currency, plank, by
the way, that Mr.. Cleveland absolutely
ignored in his message, has arrived at
no conclusion, although its chairman
the much sat upon Springer, of Illinois,
has made public a hodge-podge Of
absurdities that could not possibly be
carried into effect, even if they were
enacted, showing what alleged progress
the committee has made.

WOMAN'S WORK.
Its Evolution Since the Days of Our Col
oniaI Enrafuthpps

It's Evolution Since the Days of Our Col
onial Forefathers, Etc.
In the multiplicity of employments
now open to women, and the liberal
wages earned in many of them, stu
dents of sociology note an almost in
credible advance from the old colonial
days, and even from the conditions that
prevailed in the first half of the present
century. In colonial times there were
no women wage-earners save in domes-
tic service and in the rougher service of
tilling the soil. In the former, thirty
dollars a year was considered liberal
salary; in the latter woman was glad
to earn six or seven shillings week.
The farmers wives and daughters cul-
tivated the flax from which they made
the household linen, and carded. dyed,
spun and wove the wooden garments of
husbands, sons and brothers, which
were made up by the perpatetic coun-
try tailoress, who worked for twenty
five cents day. Each woman was also
her own dressmaker and milliner The
Harvard graduating class of ITO were
all dressed in home made broadcoth.
The colonial working day was fixed
by law at from { n. m. to p. m. from
March to September, with half an hour
for breakfast and one and half hours
incoming" Buttons and gloves were
made at home. Knitting and spinning
were constant industries. The hired
spinner, for doing her allotted stint in
the best manner, received six-pence a
day and board. Save the keepers of
DANES schools in the towns, there
were no woman teachers The higher
schools of learning, as we'll as the
trades, professions and business life,
were all closed to the weaker, who yet
managed to get through an amount Of
drudgery in farm and household work
which might well have appalled, the
stoutest mans stout heart The OPEN
ing of factories hundred years ago
made a radical change in industrial
conditions for women. To these flocked
farmers daughters of the better class,
only too glad to escape from the poverty
and grinding toll of their homes. But
they gained little by the exchange. A
days labor in the mills began at a. m.
and lasted from twelve to fifteen hours.
The early New England factory opera
tives were taxed to support religion,
fined for absence from church, and led
lives as strictly regulated as those of
the cloister, and all this for wage of

A VASSAR PROFESSOR,

Miss Abby Leach ard Her study Of tito
Greek Dramd.
Vassar has decided to follow the eX.
ample of one or two other colleges
which have chosen as the most practi-
cal course in the study of the Greek
drama the presentation of Greek play.
The object is purely educational. 1t is
held that by presenting Greek drama
in all its phases-stage scenery cos
tunes, literary style and arrangement
and so forth--the student obtains o
clearer idea than can possibly be nc,
quired by the closest study of books,
The play which will be presented is
Sophiseles' "Antigone, Antigone is
the heroine of the tragedy Against
the proclamation of the king, Creon,
she buries the body of her brother, who
has fallen in combat and been forbid
den burial by Creon. Her deed is dis
covered; she is condemned to burial
alive, is immured in stone cell to die,
and hastens her death by suicide. Her
lover, son of the king, goes to her res.
cue only to find her lifeless, and by her
body he kills himself. Prof. Abby
Leach, the teacher of Greek at Vassar,
has charge Of the arrangement, con-
struction and management of the play.
Miss A. w. Story, of New York is Civ.
ing instruction in dramatics and Mr.
Dessauer, of New Haven, in music.
Mendelssohn's music will be used, mod.
fed to suit the Greek rythm. An or.
chestra will accompany the voices. 1t
has been decided to give the play in the
Poughkeepsie opera house, as the ex'
pense of costumes, stage scenery and
training will require considerable
financial returns from the presentation.
