The Emancipation OF Labor by Ma.
chinery.

One Of the interesting proofs of the
Tightening Of toll by the aid of ma
chinery is found in the constantly en-
larging sphere Of labor being opened
to self-supporting women, and the
prediction is here made that within
the next quarter of century the ranks
of the mechanic will be largely aug
mented by women.
Statistics show that the number of
women to whom the sewing machine
gives occupation to-day is vastly greater
than the number who formerly gained
precarious livelihood with the needle,
or who could obtain similar work under
old conditions.
Contrast the "work-a-day" clothes
and simply made "Sunday-go-to-
meetin' garments of the people Of a
century ago with the wonderful variety
and complexity Of fuery comprising
the holiday attire, and, indeed, the
everyday wearing apparel, of these of
similar class to-day. If it is true,
as stated, that one sewing machine
operated by one will do the work of
ten hand sewers, it is no less true that
the modern woman possesses ten times
as many garments as her sister Of a
former age, and each garment displays
ten times as much machine-sewed work
upon it.
But the sewing machine is a mere
suggestion. The mind is fairly stag
gered in contemplation Of the wealth
Of opportunity of wage earners that
has been created by the steam engine
especially in the form Of the steam
ship and locomotive, which have liter
ally opened new worlds to the old
worlds poor. And what's true of the
steam engine is true only in lesser
degree .of-the telegraph, the telephone,
the electriic>motor, the turbine and
the whole rangeef modern agricultu-
raj machinery. ~
The modern bicycle-a theoretically
perfect invention, and in some respects
an almost perfect mechanism-has al
ready produced beneficial effects upon
the physical developments Of the
wage-earning class sufficiently marked
to attract general notice, and its future
influence is incalculable. 1t is des-
tined, in my judgment, to emancipate
woman from many of the conventional
shackles which have bound her for
ages, and from some physical disabili-
ties which have hitherto limited her
sphere of occupation. This is only
one of the many striking instances in
which invention is helping to benefit
the masses.
I am convinced that modern me-
chanical inventions have in all cases
proved to be distinctively beneficial
to the wage Garner. He is through
their aid better housed, better fed,
better clothed, better educated, has
more numerous and better amusements,
and is thus approaching more nearly
the condition of life Of the employer;
indeed, the wage Garner to-day enjoys
many advantages of civilization which
were unknown to the employer Of a
generation gone by.
The majority of employers in this
country are men who have risen from
the ranks, and many Of our most i'm
portant inventions have been made by
wage earners, who have the best op-
portunity, through experience in their
daily work, to learn the necessities Of
the age.-A. E. Ouer6ridge, J., En-
gineering Magazine.

they pay for school purposes is to be
used for white or black schools, but
that the apportionment Of moneys in
each district shall be left to the school
trustees. The school term for whites,
which is now four months, is to be ex-
tended to six months. The school
term for blacks is to be shortened.
There is to be no compulsory educa-
ton law. The effect of this will be
that the bulk of school moneys will be
applied to the education Of whites,
and the education of blacks will be
reduced to minimum. The friends
of this idea argue that fve-sixths Of
the school funds are contributed by
the whites.
Only a few days ago I saw great
audience of white people at Atlanta
applaud Prof. Washington when he
uttered that great appeal for the rights
of his race. And now am here in
Columbia, in the presence of this i'm
pressive and discouraging problem.
South Carolina is making more pro-
gress in the manufacture Of cotton
than any other Southern State. She
has over million spindles at work.
Her towns and cities hustle with the
new spirit of industrial development.
Her vast tobacco region, new feature
of her wealth, is giving fresh impulse
to her energies. But she has the
question of white supremacy to deal
with and it weighs upon her heavily.
It will not do for the people of
States uncurscd with this confounding
question to look with too harsh an eye
upon the white people Of South Caro-
lima. 1t is matter that can only be
settled here. After all the South
Carolinians are human beings with all
the weaknesses of human nature.
They cannot, and will not, overcome
their loathing. My honest belief is
that the very men who are making
this Constitution intent upon disfran-
chising the black vote feel far more
kindly towards the negroes and have a
more practical regard for their welfare
than the sentimentalists of New Eng
land and the West One white man
in the Convention, Samuel L. White,
erected the first monument and, l
think, the only monument in the
South to the memory of the fidelity Of
the black race to their white masters
during the late war. But there is an
overwhelming conviction here that the
negro in any stage of ignorance or
education is unfit to govern the white
race.
Two nights ago I sat in brilliantly
lighted hall, where the Constitutional
Convention is holding its session, and
heard speech in favor of PROPOSE
tion to deprive negroes of the rig ht to
hold office. While the proposal itself
was defeated there was not one dis
senting voice to the sentiments of the
speaker. The only objection raised
was that the Convention was power
less to enact such a law in face of the
Constitution of the United States.
Here is the proposed law:
"No person shall be eligible to take
or retain seat in the House of Rep
resentatiyes unless he is white man
who has attained the aye 81 years, has
been q citizen and a resident of this
State three years next preceding the

KNOWS HOW TO CONTROL MEN.
CreeIman's Pen Picture of Bn TilIman.

COLUMBIA, S. c., September 29.-
At this moment Senator Tillman-for
he has been elected to the United
States Senate-is the absolute master
of this community. His will is law.
He reigns over the Governor, the
Legislature, the Constitutional Con-
vention and every city, town and vii.
lage in the State. The Constitutional
Convention is assembled practically
to do his bidding, and yet in this Con-
vcntion are his bitter enemies, the
Bourbon Conservatives and six ne
groes, two of whom have been convict
ed of crime. His one eye dominates
the scene. His tongue lashes friends
and enemies alike when he is opposed.
He is absolute.
Senator Tillman's s explanation Of the
new plan to disfranchise the illiterate
negroes of South Carolina is that the
people are tired Of asserting white
supremacy by either fraud or violence;
that they are anxious to accomplish
their purpose in the daylight and by
forms Of law.
This is the sense Of the whole Con-
vention. There is not a dissenting
voice. However bitter the debate
may become and however roughly the
Senator rides over the delegates, all
are agreed upon one thing, that the
Constitution must be so fashioned as
to prevent the negro majority in South
Carolina from ever again obtaining a
controlling voice, either by itself
alone or in combination with dissat-
isfed faction of the whites.
The one fear has been that Senator
Tillman would secure the passage Of a
clause that would enable him to dis
franchise illiterate white voters. But
he promised in his public speeches
that the matter would be so arranged
that no white man could lose his vote
except for crime. The Bourbons had
in mind the educational clause in the
Constitution of Mississippi, under
which the election officers have dis
cretionary power, enabling them to
disfranchise illiterate whites or blacks.
1t is left to them to say whether a
man who can neither read nor write
is able to understand the Constitution
when it is read to him, and no Court
has any power to reverse the decision.
The Bourbons, or Conservatives,
have insisted that with such weapon

labor movement would achieve
greater results if laborers on the Con-
tinent could be educated up to the
British idea Of the dignity of labor,
and added that European wOrkmen

tinued:

No Prize Fights In Texas.

Austin, Oct. lin compliance with
the proclamation of Governor Culber-
son converting the legislature in this
city October l, to take action on the
the prize fight question, which has
been agitated by the Corbett-F itzsim-
mons mill at Dallas. October, 81, a
quorum Of both houses responded to
the call TODAY at high noon, and were
in working shape within thirty min
utes, and at 1890 promptly received
a message from Culberson. The Gov
ernOr confined himself solely to the
prize fight question, and reviewed at
length the situation which has made
the call necessary. He said that he
regretted that he had to call the sa-
Ions together. but as the question was
being wrangled over in the courts he
deemed it advisable to stop further
discussion by having the legislature
enact law that would be clear and
specific on this subject, and he de-
desired it to go into immediate effect.
As soon as the message was read,
in compliance with its command, two
bills were introduced In both
houses.
The respective bills In the two
houses are identical. The one intro
duced in the senate by Senator Lewis
Of Bexar, and the one In the house by
Representative Ward Of Travis. are
generally conceded to be the meas
ures Of the administration. They de-
fine that the participants in prize
fighting or any pugilistic encounter
shall be deemed guilty Of felony and
shall be punished by an Imprisonment
OF not less than one nor more than
two years. This bill, of course, has
the emergency clause. The other
bill, introduced in the senate be Sena.
tor Simpson provides a penalty of not
less than five nor more than ten years
and fhrther provides that anyone who
in any manner aids or abets a fight
will be considered participant, and
subject to the above named punish
ment. The emergency clause is also
10 this bill.
The bills were referred to the Judi
ciary committee in either house and
they were to take action thereon this
afternoon. The Dallas attorneys ap-
peared before them, however, to ask
for fnrther time, claiming that they
could show that the proposed law was
unconstitutional and class legislation
as we'll as confiscatory. In compli-
ance with their requests, both CON-
mittees adjourned uutil morning at
9 O'Clock and nothing further was
done by either house in the matter.
