The ministerial party in England is plain
~ in a critical situation, and the downfall
Of Rosebery's government will evidently be
matter of a short time, unless the utmost
care and diplomacy are employed by the
British premier. The government was on
Friday defeated on a private bill by one
vote, and while the unimportance of the
measure may account to some de-
gree for the result, the defeat of tho gov
eminent in this instance will give new hope
TO the conservatives. Lord Rossbery may
be strong man but it is already evident
that he is not a Gladstone.

1t is expected that the dawn of an era Of
cheap agricultural implements will lead to
an enormous demand for agricultural ma
chinery for small farms in Vermont and
other parts of Now England where such i'm
plements have been rendered impossible by
the high prices of the past, We notice that
eighty-one carloads of farm machinery
were shipped from one small manufacturing
town in central New York during one week
recently. This is Of course, II small trife
as compared with the annual output but its
departure for one locality indicates a large
demand for improved farm machinery and
corresponding degree. of agricultural prog
gress The degree of thrift of a farmer is
unerringly indicated by the kind of impe-
pents with which he performs his labors.

The mystery of the case of Martha Fuller
the young woman who was found murdered
In the law office of her employer in New
York city, seems to be only deepened by the
inquest. 1t is still question whether
Martha Fuller committed suicide or was shot
by Joseph I. Mageo, either accidentally or
with murderous intent. 1t is stated how
ever, that the district attorney, believing
that Magee is guilty, held back from the cor
sBT Jury great deal Of the evidencein his
possession, not caring to make it public in
ho7ance of the trial. This additional evil
dence, however, is being put before the
grand Jury in order to secure an indictment
for murder against Magee. This will pro
baby be another in the large list of New
York's famous cases.

TIE COREANS.

are both hideous and gl-a NY, whereas
the men and yo@nE ?. - are often
handsome and pic.u-.- :e. There is
neither grace nor -. r4H-e IN the fe-
male dress, which in some re-
spects resem bles that of the Chinese,
and consists of loose pair of trousers
reaching to the ankle, tied round the
waist with thick cord, on the top Of
this is worn a short petticoat reaching
to the knees, and fitted to the shout
ders is yoke or shoulder-cape to which
are attached long, loose sleeves. This
costume is the ordinary dress of the
working-woman; the coarse material is
woven out of the fiber of the tall mill
let-stem, which sometimes grows to be
eight or ten feet high; or more often
the entire costume is composed of a
strong shifting. Both the women and
the men wear their hair in thick plaits;
the former wrap their pigtails lightly
round their heads, the latter keep
their long plaits hanging down
until they enjoy the dignified posi-
ton of being engaged to be mar
ried, on which suspicious occasion the
Corean groom partly shaves his head
and twists up his pigtail into queer
little top-knot and INDUCES his fancy
in the latest and strangest variety of
hats ever designed for man. Up to this
time his head has been hatless. CO.
reans are engaged to be married as
early as their parents can arrange the
business part of the transaction salts
factorily. In many ways they resem-
bic the Chinese much more than the
japanese. Unlike the Japanese, they
keep their wearing apparel exquisitely
clean; they are constantly washing
their entire wardrobe. With the jap
anese the order of things is reversed;
they indulge in three or four baths
day. but even the garments worn next
their skin are seldom, if ever, washed.
Their method of ironing is more inju-
rious to their clothes than even a steam
laundry. They thump the clothes with
wooden rollers and fiat boards until a
polish is produced. The heaviest ex-

laundress' destructiveness, his pipe

There are in Oldham district. in the
cotton trade alone. about one hundred
and fifty limited companies, the ma
jority of which have been formed since
1872, with capitals varying from ten
thousand pounds to fifteen thousand
pounds, chiefly divided into five pounds
shares. These companies, seeing the
profits accruing from buying the raw
material, at once formed the Old
ham Cotton Buying Co., limited, al
most every company having shares;
consequently il is to their own interest
to do business with the company. and
thus share in the profits But they do
not stop here. Seeing the large profit
made by the insurance companies, they
decided to form one of their own, and
the Federative Insurance company,
limited, sprang into existence. each
company holding a number OF shares,
and encouraging it by transferring
their insurance business to it
1t is no uncommon thing for some of
the cotton companies to consist of four
hundred, five hundred and, in some
cases, seven hundred shareholders; al
most all residing in Oldham. Scarcely
family in the town but that owns
shares in some cotton company or other.
The company movement does not stop
with the staple trade (cottonl. The
butchers were not long behind, and
then was formed the Oldham Hide, Skin
and Fat Co., limited, which effectually
demoralized private enterprise in that
direction. Even the bill-posting and
advertising business was invaded, the
printers forming the Oldham Bill Post
ing Co., limited, through it posting
their own bills and advertisements.

One of the problems that confront the
genius of the editorial profession of to-
day Is the suppression of what is.termed
among the craft as the fake artist.
Through extra diligence exerc ised during
the past few years that class is not as
numerous as it used to be, but never
theles5 it i far too numerous to suit
legitimate journalism. a few days ago
a dispatch was sent out from Perry Civ
ing thrilling account of phenomenal
sand storm there. 1t was all right on its
face and found its way into several
papers. From one of these papers the
areicle was cut out and sent to the
EAGLE with the statement of forty or
fifty good citizens, including some of
the most prominent business men of
Perry, to the effect that there was no
foundation whatever for the story. The
artist who sent it should be brou sht up
with a sudden jerk by the papers who
hire him and asked for an explanation.

Mr.. Cleveland announces through the
dispatches that he will endorse any fin
ancIal measure proposed by Secretary
Carlisle. This is a queer break, even for
him. He could hardly claim for Carlisle
that he is more than uman, and it
would not be without precedent if he
should propose some ruinous and de,
structive measure. In such event the
president is pledged before the world to
stand by it. Even human credulity, in
its most unsophisticated state, will re-
fuse to treat it seriously. The greater
probability is, that there is a perfect
tripartite. agreement between Cleveland,
Carlisle and the bankers of New York as
to what will be presented at the coming
session of congress. The president
should aspire 10 something more credit
able 10 his office than to resort to horse
jockey tricks to deceive the public.
