oak. The floor was of the same huge
slate slabs as the roof, and these

they shone like dusky mirrors be-

clumsy frame built into the two

Change Of Fifty Years.

The tardy justice done to women
in the passing of the women's prop
erty act in England and America
was the direct outgrowth of the wa
ges system. The fact that woman
had no right in her earnings, inner
tied property or even in her person.
al belongings, until recent years,
took away all stimulus to active mon
ey making effort. Driven to it by
the failure of husband or father to
provide for her wants, she could
not hold any possession from the
grasp of the selfish, cruel. tyrannical
or degraded male relative who pos
sesed legal power over her. The
change in these seTfiike conditions
has all occurred within the past fifty
years, and il il marvellous,

A Good Man Gone Mad,

Mr.. Powderly, the chief of The
Knights of Labor, an organization
that seems to be in its decadence
has brought forward new plan fol
the political combination of mechani
cal and agricultural labor which be
is ofthe opinion will easily sweep the
country and take possession of the
government, state and federal The
idea of unions and strikes on the old
plan, Mr. Powderly says. must be
abandoned, and the new organiza
ton he proposes must turn its atten.
ton solely to politics When it gets
control, by the votes of farmers and
workers in other industries, he will
have the government enter on a pol
| icy of paternalism and Capitalization
that has no existence anywhere out.
side of Russia. Russiauizing Amer
lea in the respects aimed at, then
will come the millennium.
Mr. Powderly would have the gov
eminent buy up or seize up, without
the trouble of buying, all railroads,
telegraphs, telephones and lines OF
water communication, and, we sup
pose, as other radicals demand, all
the coal and mineral lands in the
country, place the control of bank
ing and currency entirely in the
hands of government and top it off
with free coinage and an illimitable
issue of fiat money
An administration OF party invest
ed with the powers he would give
would be simply impregnable. 1t
would have perpetual succession.
Of course on the Powderly theory
that would be all right if his friends
got the first innings, but they might
not succeed. The other fellows
would get in, and where would Mr..
Powderly be in that event? Decid-
eddy in the dumps. He might try
revolution, but having made the cen
trail power absolute and all-power-
full, the money and the big artillery
would be against him. Then of
course, he would jump in for the
man on horseback. Powderly is a
rare statesman and adviser of the
working classes.
Such talk as his is little short of
idiocy. A respectable lunatic would
be ashamed of it. Even now the com
plant is made by those who lean in
the direction that Powderly wants to
go that the patronage and powers of
government make it difficult to carry
elections against the ruling dynasty.
There is something in it, too. Add to
$50, 900 -officeholders the power that
comes from the collection and ex-
penditure of $500,000,000 annually,
and it will be seen that officialism is
pretty strongly entrenched. But the
sagacious Powderly would put linn
itation on this by increasing it a
thousand fold. He would have gov
eminent employees by the million,
and money expended by the billion,
and all to relieve labor from the sell
fish rule ofpoliticians and capitalists.
His vicious paternalism would sacri-
flee all independence of the citizen,
put the people in swaddling clothes
and destroy every vestige of the in
situations and liberties, guarded by
law, of which all sensible Americans
are justly and righteously proud.
The best thing Powderly can do is
to seek admission.into some well reg
ulated insane asylum and stay there.

Caution in Signing the Name.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

An important matter to teach a
girl is the value of her signature. If
the habit is once formed Of attach
ing her full name to every letter she
writes, with her address, it may save
great deal of trouble in future
times, should her letters be lost by
mail. She should be taught the re-
sponsibility which she assumes in
thus signing her name, and she is
not likely to write silly and foolish
letters which she would gladly re-
call. She should also learn that she
must not aflix her name to any list
of individuals, any society, or any
document without knowing fully
what responsibility she is assuming.
The matter may seem trivial, but she
should give time to thought in all
matters where her name is asked for,
and not trust even to her dearest
friend against her own judgment.

Secretary Morton is removing the
barnacle class of officials and in this
the State journal at last sees some
thing for which the administration
should be given credit 1t says:
Credit should be given where credit
is due, and it seems to be due Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Morton for his
efforts to cut down expenses. He is
saving the government very con-
siderable sum of money. There are
too many sinecures in all the de-
partments at Washington, and the
officer who cuts them off deserve
credit whether he be democrat or
a republican.

Speaking of the confession of Gal
lagher. the witness who caused the
conviction of Dempsey the labor
leader on the charge of poisoning
non union workmen in the Carnegie
mill during the big strike, the Par
kersburg Sentinel says: "If reports
be true, that the leaders of the work
ingmen at Homestead, Pa, were con-
victed of crime and sentenced to the
penitentiary by means of perjured
testimony, secured by professional
detectives in the employ of the Car
negie firm, a crime upon the working
people, and upon organized labor,
has been committed of such magni-
tude that the riots at Homestead pale
into insignificance. The desperation
of capital when it seeks to crush la
Dor, and the violence and criminal
assistance it will bring to it's aid in
such endeavor never received more
fitful illustration than in this case.
There never was any respectable evil
dence to uphold the conviction of
Dempsey, and that even which there
was is now disproved by the witnesses
themselves who acknowledged their
perjury in the affair and give the
reasons that actuated them.

One big enterprise which has felt
the financial stringency is the CON
struction of the Nicaragua canal, on
which work was begun in 1889. The
plan is to join the two oceans by
means of the San Jaun river and
Lake Nicaragua. The United States
government appropriated quite a
sum Of money for the preliminary
work, and when appealed to for more
would likely have given it had
there been less uneasiness in tinan-
cial affairs. That same uneasiness

on. As yet nothing like a scandal
