Some Views on the " oman Question.
Just before his departure FOR London
to take charge Of a society for ethical
culture DIR. Stanton Colt delivered a
parting shot at the feminine sex in
America. Then he cleared off out of
the country in hurry.
DR.. Stanton Colt says that women are
inferior to men in education, character
and moral life. That they are thus in
ferior is the fault of their education.
The doctor is kind enough to indicate
bis belief that the sex have sense enough
naturally. Their defects are therefore not
inherent in the nature of the sex, but
only in their education. That this is so
is, moreover, not their own fault, but
the fault of their master-man. Woman
has been trained through all the ages to
believe that her first duty is to please
her master-man-where in DR.. Colts
estimation her first duty is nothing of
the kind. It is to be a responsible human
being, and the first step to that end
is absolute financial independence for
woman.
''She must earn a living. Insist that
woman shall be free so far as regards the
purse strings, and she will take up the
vocations of life and astonish the old TO-
gies."
DR.. Colt continued further: mo wom-
an lives for herself. Man is her master,
her god. Suppose man were brought up
in the same manner, where would mans
splendid qualities be?" We give it up.
Not even the so called progress Of wom-
an in America amounted to much, said
the doctor, because it only increased her
charm and grace to please man. Woman
had not increased in common sense.
American women could not manage their
servants. "Women are not earnest, hon.
est and conscientious in the rearing of
children. cannot see that in this re-
spect they are any better than men,"
Women, married and single, must have
an independent income and take the con-
sequences if they do not spend it right.
Wives should have their stipend regu-
larly paid to them. If man is day
laborer, ''a certain percentage of his
wages should be withheld for his wife. -
The faults of both men and women are
due to the fact that woman is in slavery
to man, especially financial slavery, "no1
can men rise till women are liberated -
| ~, 4 ,so.1,L l.
but the main point is their absolute
financial independence. He dwelt on
this most of all.

Turning Paupers Into Farmers

Turning Paupers Into Farmers.
Holland has perhaps come nearer than
any other nation to successfully solving
the problem of what to do with city pau
pers. Usually they are herded into great
poorhouses and fed at public expense.
The only work they do is that required
to keep the premises where they are
housed in order. They are a miserable,
ungrateful lot. The charity they live on
is doled out to them grudgingly, and they
are heavy expense. Political corrup-
ton and private jobbery creep into the
management of the establishments where
they are kept. That at least is the Amer
lean system, and it could not be worse.
With the thrifty, wise Dutch the idea
is not to herd them together, but to scat
ter them. T;ley are taken from the city
slums and distributed upon public farms.
Professor Peabody, who gives in The Fo-
rum some facts concerning the Dutch
system, says there are no great poor
houses and few ablebodied paupers in
Holland. There is tract Of public land
containing 5000 acres. It is divided into
six model farms, and to one of these is
sent the poor person applying for public
relief. If he voluntarily serves till he
learns agriculture, he is allowed to rent
small farm for himself and be what is
called a free farmer. Every pauper who
is thus. reclaimed to honest, regular in.
dustry is so much gain to the state
There is also forced labor colony, where
beggars and Migrants are sent and made
to do farm and other work whether they
want to or not.

An invention has been made which
promises much for the finishing of
houses internally. It consists of proc
ess by which marble dust from quarries
and yards is collected, made into paste
with water and cement and then put I'M
der tremendous pressure. The resulting
substance resembles marble in marked
degree, but it can be nodded into any
shape. Inkstands, workboxes and other
small articles are formed from it as we'll
as mantels and panels. It can be pressed
into very thin slabs, the paste Of which
it is made being colored and veined in
imitation of any desired kind Of marble.
It can to a great extent replace wood in
the inside work Of buildings very advan-
tageously. Reaches, rats and other YER
min that infest wood could find no hid
ing place or nest in this artificial marble.
It would be cleaner, safer and more
wholesome than woodwork almost every
where. - >a-

Whose Fault Was II?

Of several ugly scandals at present oc-
cupying the attention Of this nation
none is uglier or more disgraceful than
that of the armor plate and gun carriage
frauds. The facts in the armor plate
matter seem to be that the Carnegie
Steel company succeeded in foisting up
on the government and making it pay
for armor plate that was almost value
less, an article far inferior to the plates
which had passed inspection in the In
dian Head tests. The inspectors at the
Carnegie company's plant are supposed
to watch every step of the process of
manufacturing the huge plates, and they
place their mark upon such as are con-
sidered perfect. These are placed in
pile for final trial.
Through means known to somebody
who as yet has not told how it was done
the plates for final trial at Indian Head
were up to the mark and beyond it,
while those of which the trial plates
were supposed to be merely samples
were wholly worthless as means of de-
Tense against shot and shell. The worst
Of the matter is that the Monterey and
tho New York have been fitted out with
this worthless armor. It is nothing less
than a national disgrace for which the
perpetrator should be made to pay to the
uttermost. It cannot be that the fraud
was committed with the knowledge and
approval of Carnegie himself. Or is
it possible that this is the usual style of
doing business at steel manufacturing
plants, and that the men merely forgot
and went on turning out the same kind
of cheap commercial work that they or
dinarily do?
In case of the Pittsburg steel gun car
rage castings that split to flinders on the
first trial there is also mystery. It is
claimed that discharged workman
played a trick on the manufacturers and
substituted worthless castings for the
good ones made for the government.
But how could such thing have hap
pened? Moreover, how many of these
''tricky'' steel gun castings have been
paid for at a high price by the govern
ment and are now actually mounted on
board the ships Of our new navy?

The king of Italy is so poor that he is
going to sell some Of his royal palaces.
Here is the chance of his lifetime for
some millionaire American. Humbert
will still have enough left to change
around in, however Besides the royal
headquarters at Rome he will retain five
palaces and few hunting parks in diff
ferent parts of his kingdom. An assort-
ment Of houses is a necessity to kings,
for king cannot pick up any day and
run off and quietly go around the world
when he is bored to death and is suffering
from nervous prostration at home. That
joy is reserved to the private individual.

In the Hawaiian Islands are many
Portuguese. They lately held a mass
meeting at Honolulu for the purpose
of giving public expression to their
views on the political situation. They
passed some resolutions, of which the fol-
lowing was one: s'The sentiment of the
Portuguese colony is unanimously in
favor Of the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States Of America" Another
was to the effect that the Portuguese
colony would remain unalterably loyal
to the provisional government and fol-
low it through any transformation it
might undergo.

A committee from the City club of
New York, in conference with another
from the trades unions, have drafted
plan for reformed city government. The
plan is to be presented to the constitu-
tional convention of New York state in
May. One object of the trainers is to
separate state and municipal elections
entirely, thus divorcing city govern
ments from politics as far as possible.
State elections are arranged to be held in
even years, city elections in odd years.
The legislature will be forbidden to do
more than enact general laws for the con-
troll of cities. Special laws for any par
ticular case must be submitted to the
people themselves of city before such
acts finally become operative. Any city
containing 10000 inhabitants is entitled
to prepare and adopt it's own charter,
subject to the general laws for the gov
eminent of cities. The charter is to be
adopted by vote Of the citizens Of that
particular place. Avery important fea-
ture of the new scheme is that it makes
all privileges, licenses and franchises,
such as gas and waterworks and street
railways, belong to the city itself under
the constitution Of the state, and this
cannot be changed except by amending
the constitution. A city may lease gas
works or street railway privileges to a
private company, but not for longer
period than 30 years, and then not un-
less a majority Of the citizens vote in
favor of such lease. The company leas-
ing such privileges may own it's operat.
ing plant, but never the franchise itself,
which is analterably in the city's hands.

cAsTIGATING CULLoM.

The following letter, addressed to
the Illinois light of the Republican
party, is fitting rebuke to Repub-
lican methods in argument, Senator
Culloms impudent assertion is but
sample Of the manner in which Repub-
lican sophistries are usually foisted
upon the public. Starting with a bold
and bald and beardless falsehood, they
are carried on with cunning craftiness
and perverted facts and figures, until
they pass with the masses as incon-
trovertible verities This letter takes
away the basis on which the Senator
from Illinois POUNDS his argument in
the Forum:
Hon. Shelby NJ. Cullom, Washington,
D. c.
Dear sir-I had just finished reading
William E. RusselPs article in the May
Forum, "A Year of Democratic Adj
ministration,'' and 1 began your article
on the same subject in the same mag
azine. 1 got to where you say, Pres
ident Cleveland received from Presi-
dent Harrison a solvent treasury
when 1 stopped. Without casting any
unfair reflection upon your statesman
ship, 1 am compelled to express my re-
greet that in this great opportunity to
overcome the Democratic advantage
over our party we are constantly be-
ing plagued and damned by just such
unfair and untrue statements as this
We have enough legitimate arguments
in our favor and against the Demo-
cratic party without resorting to such
questionable statements. The public
are not fools and they well know that,
whatever good our party may have
done while in power, it at least did
not leave a Solvent treasury" and
that to lie about it only makes it
worse for our party. Verify, "a wise
enemy is better than foolish friend
AS for the balance of your article, /
shall not read it. have always found
a man who will purposely misstate
facts to be man who is unsafe to
follow. I beg to 'emain a better Re
publican than you are, A. j. HOFF.
