4 sosToN W0MIY PR0BLEM.

It appears that Boston women not only look through spectacles. but that many of them are in the habit of look ing through the bottoms of glasses that have been filled with that which intox- icates and stings. And they do this in liquor saloons, too. So many of them do 1t that even the police commissioners have become sensitive about 1t. and they are going to try to deal with the evil. Being students of human and woman nature they have decided that the pest way to stop women from drinking In saloons Is to fix things so that those who thus drink will be seen by all who choose to look at them. So stricter enforcement of the so-called screen law is the first step that the board intends to take. This law, which has of late dropped out of sight, pro- vdes that no screens, partitions, cur tains, paiEted or stained glass windows, bottles or casks shall be so placed as to obstruct or interfere with view of the interior Of the premises. It is believed that the number of women who resort to saloons will be materially diminish ed when 1t is understood that they must purchase their drink in full view of passers-by on the sidewalk, without the friendly shelter of a screen, parti- ton or private office.
 Of course this move will not make the women of Boston drink less, but 1t may make some of them drink less con- spicuously. This will be gain. It isn't respectable for women to drink in sa-, looms. There is very little such drinking done by the women of New Haven.

AMATEUR STRONG MEN,

Surprising Assertions that Herman Oel-
 richs Is Stronger than Sandow-William
 Steinway Also q Giant-Other Great Men.
 (From the Bowling and Cycling Gazette.]
 I know of four men who do not pose as sons of Hercules. and who never made a penny by spectacular exhibi- tions, who, I think, could hold their own with the quartet of foreign invad- CTS, Sandow, Samson, Attila and Rom- ulus, in trials of strength. These men are Herman Oelrichs, principal owner fof the North German Lloyd Steamship company; Tea Merchant Harry Buer- meyer, Editor William B. Curtis and Piano Manufacturer William Steinway. Of these Herman Oelrichs, millionaire and clubman, Is strongest, and strong CT, I firmly believe, than Sandow or any of the other professional strong men.
 Two of these men, too, could come very near to giving Corbett or Jackson a trouncing in the squared circle--Oel- richs and ,Buermeyer. Both of these gentlemen were adjudged by competent experts fully capable of holding their own, even with the mighty John l.. Sullivan when that gladiator was in his prime. If they could do this with the Bostonian, they might go a shade better with the Californian or the Aus tralian. Of this "big four," as I will call them, three-Oelrichs, Beurmeyer and Curtis-were and are as good all around heavyweight athletes as this or any other country has ever seen. The fourth, Steinway. despite his forty eight years. can perform downright feats of strength-not juggling tricks that any of the professional men would find 1t hard to duplicate.
 Once on a wager with friends on a private trial, Oelrichs entered lions cags,' and properly accoutred for the fray, of course, actually overcame and reduced to a state; of exhaustion by his physical resources a full-grown mon arch of the jungle..,* The lion was muz- zied with a plain leather strap, but was not hampered in any other way. Oel- richs thus did better than Sandow, who only dared recently to try with a tame and crippled old lion at saa Francisco.

is still ahead. But the president and
 Senator Hill are ahead of him in what
 was declared to be pure Democracy at Chicago. The way in which they got
 ahead of him Is curious and not alto
 gether consistent but it is folly to
 talk about consistency in connection
 with Democrats and Democracy. Pres- ident Cleveland and Senator Hill can't pride themselves much upon consisten- cy. but they appear to have been walked up late to realization Of the situation. They see that the Demo- cratic party has nothing to stand on
 in the senate bill and they have made up their minds that 1t Is better to be Democratically right than to pass such bill. So they have made hullaballoo of n most interesting and significant kind. That they are on the right track politically Is indicated by the New York Sun. which tells them and all "hNt " N"s absolutely impossible In honor. has forced and prolonged the agony to which this country has been so outrag- eously subjected In aimless. unprinci- pied. and inconclusive quarrelling over the tariff. But one course is consistent with allegiance to the Democratic party and loyalty to American politics.. Stop the tariff fight on the spot. De- stroy The bill as the fruit of compounded felony. and let the Democracy marshal its hosts under its own flag.
 The Suns advice Is good. but like all other good advice to the Democrats 1t will not be accepted without a fight. and if it is then 1t will only be because Senator German and his followers are so badly whipped that they will be willing to take any advice that is of fered them. Just now Democracy doesn't appear able to find its own flag. and 1t may not be able to marshal it's hosts under 1t if it is ever found.

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Common Sense Concerning Them from
 Senator Platt.

Common Sense Concerning Them from
 Senator Platt.
 MT. President, I do not know that there has been any declaration of pol icy on the part of congress. by any for nal action, relating to this matter, think it very proper in some way and by some amendment to the pending bill congress should declare that it is its purpose to do away with all schools for Indians except government schools.
 I think it is very great mistake that congress ever permitted the, In- dians to be educated in schools out side of the government schools. sup pose it grew out of the disposition of a great many charitable. benevolent, re- ligious people to do missionary work among the Indians, supposing that mis- sionary work could best be done through the medium of educational schools. However laudable that idea may have been, I think as it haS been carried out it has been greatly to the disadvantage of the Indians. Either the government should leave the whole work to denominational associations or it should do the whole work itself. can think of no reason why the gov- ernment should have schools for the education of the Indians and then allow q pOrtion cf fha India pe <o hx, e6ura tod in private schools. .,5
 I do not know why religious bodies should establish, maintain and carry on schools among the Indians any more than that private. individuals should carry on schools among the Indians. The senator from Florida says this is the work of private individuals in some instances, and that in all cases con- tracts are made with individuals; but these schools. conducted and carried on by the different denominational. asso- citations of the United States. are really understood to be part of the work of the churches among the Indians. The object of the persons and the denomif1a- tions engaged in it is to Christianize the Indians according to their idea of Christianity. <
 As said. it may be . very laudahle wish. but it seems to me sadly to in terfere with the government system of education of the Indians. The gov- ernrnent is not responsible for what is done in these schools, and whatever msy be the nominal rvision. whiohs

MORE PURE DEMOCRACY.

The great Democratic row goes bravely and bitterly on. Yesterday Senator Hill interested the Senate and the country by shouting in defense of President Cleveland. and he did it we'll too. He said that Senator German and those who helped him attack the president never got any remarks out
 of the president which bound him irretrievably to the senate bill as they would have 1t understood. He said he was in sympathy with the presidents letter to Representative Wilson and he also said: "Yes. am in opposition to this present bill. The people are opposed to it. The house of represen- tatives is opposed to it. If, therefore, I am opposed to 1t. find myself in good company" Senator German hav- ing called Senator Hill the Iago of the senate Senator Hill showed that he had read Shakespeare to some purpose by calling Senator German the Cassius, the lean and hungry Cassius, of the Senate.

CONTRADICTIONS.

"The First Milennial Faith: The Church Faith in it's Faith One Thou sand Years" By the author of Not On Calvary" This book has for it's motive the restoration of the doctrine of Christ's Atonement that was held during the first thousand years of the existence of Christianity. It is intend- ed to show that the satisfaction" theo- ry originated with the monk Anselm, and that the church in her earlier and purer days held that the lifelong sacri- flee of Christ was the means of our re- demption; He was our ransom, not a sacrifice made to satisfy Gods justice. The work Not On Calvary" was writ ten for the same purpose; the present work supports 1t by historical evil dences from the teachings of the early Christian writers. Saalfield & Fitch, New York.
