5O0,0OO splndles and 13,O0O looms The value of the cotton-goods manufactured
 amounted, however, to only 1S0,O00,000 francs. In 1S91 the number of factories having increased, 24,OOO looms and B.
 S5O, 900 spindles were at work, and the amount of raw cotton transformed in India into the manufactured article
 was no less than four million hundred weight. This rapid progress, which, in M. Dubosc's opinion, threatens the very existence of the cotton trade in Europe, has continued unchecked even by the financial crisis in India. In June, 1892, there were in that country 140 factories, with 26,O0O looms and S,40O,O0O spindles, and last year the number of factories had risen to 1SO, with 3O,0OO looms and 1, ,000, 900 spindles. The greater number of those factories were In the hands of the Parsees, who, to work them, had formed limited-liability companies, with a total capital of about 25O, 100000 francs. All these. companies are, he says, pros- porous. their average dividend being about 10 per cent.

4 GOOD I1EITATION.

Of course women can't reason. Wise
 goes. But once in a great while some
 woman will give such a good imitation
 of reasoning that her performance can
 hardly be distinguished from the real
 thing. The latest notable imitation was
 that given the other day by Mrs. Fran
 cis M. Scott at hearing before the New | York senate judiciary committee, the matter under discussion being the pro- posed amendment to the constitution
 giving women the right to vote. Mrs. Scott is against the amendment, and
 she appears to know why she is against it. She reminded the committee that the State, holding the power to extend
 the suffrage, has also the responsibility
 for not granting it, unless convinced
 that giving it will promote the interests
 of the State. Mrs. Scott held that the
 State could not benefit itself by giving
 the suffrage to a majority (for women
 are more numerous than men) which
 cannot coerce a troublesome minority
 by physical power. A government that
 has to rely on moral suasion is no gov
 ernment at all, since all civil authority
 must rest at last on the power to com pei obedience to law when this shall be- come necessary She pointed out that civilization goes forward by two roads
 and said: ''One have mentioned, the other is philanthropy, and I use the
 word broadly. By it I cover education kinds, and it has most important bear ing on this question. The fact that
 women have no political prizes to gain, no offices in view, no constituencies to please, has made them of special value in all the wide field of work. Their ends are more quickly achieved, since their singlcness of purpose cannot be questioned. Let them be plunged into the arena of political strife and there will be no one to carry on the work they now sustain so bravely." She call | ed attention to the fact that most wo- men are mothers, whose best service to the State during their best years can be given only through the medium of those lives in whose preservation and l upbringing lies the future of our coun- try" She laughed at the idea that the suffrage has anything to do with the higher education. She reminded her
The daily morning journal and courier., 1895-04-13

hearers that the ballot itself is not an educational force, "as you men very we'll know" but simply part of the machinery of the State, costly and cum brous, for selecting a few representa- tive men to legislate for all. She also thought that the laws of the State al- ready give women so much that if mere even-handed justice was desired something should be taken away rather than anything given.
 Of course this imitation of reasoning by Mrs. Scott will not be appreciated by those who are trying to amend the constitution and human nature, But they will find difficulty in making as good an imitation of reasoning against her. They can't charge her with not being woman, but they can, we sup pose, say that she is no lady,

OYER THE MOON.

The COW long ago jumped over the moon and the price of cow-meat is now
 making a Nike excursion. The rise in
 the price of beef is serious matter--a
 matter which comes home to the stomachs and poclxetbooks of the peo- ple Two explanations of it are given. Representatives of "the Big Four, |" who are supposed to control the trade in western beef, say that the only trouble is a scarcity of corn-fed cattle, and that the slaughterers and ship pers-whose yards and packing houses are in Chicago, Kansas City, and Omaha-are not doing business under an agreement of any kind, The re- tailers say, on the other hand, that while there has been a decrease in the available supply of cattle, this shortage has been exaggerated by "the Big Four's" manipulation of statistics, and that the greater part of the advance of price is due to the work of these slaugh- terers operating in combination, the shortage being made to serve as an ex- cuse for extortion. Probably there is truth in both these ideas. There is no reason to doubt that there is a shortage in the supply of beef cattle, and there is no reason to doubt that "the Big Four know enough to take advantage of 1t.
 There may not be much relief from the present situation soon. But if the supply of beef from the West con tinues to be inadequate, and if "the Big Four" continue to demand all they can get, people will perhaps eat less beef and so bring the price down. It is also not to be forgotten that the Argentine Republic in South America has an almost unlimited capacity for producing beef, and the exportation of it is easy and sure. England has been using imported beef for years and draws from all the sources of supply of which she has knowledge. Then, too, the government may deal with the Beef trust in such way as to keep it from plundering the people. We would not really advise dependence upon this, but it may happen.
 Meanwhile it is interesting to notice that horses have been selling In Ne brasl1a at from twenty-five cents to one dollar head and that the price of has been rising in the mar kets of Germany.

THE TLEErTYG SHOW.
Some of Its Eacts and Fancies. Written for the JOURNAL AND COURIER ] A JOYOUS EASTER.

1 Written for the JOURNAL AND C0URIER.l A JOYOUS EASTER.
 The day before Easter, warm and bright with sunshine The budding
 naples on the hills showed ruddy
 against the clear blue sky, and along
 the brookside willow wands were gold
 en. In the city the lawns, were growing green and on sunny slopes gay little pro-
 sessions of crocuses, the couriers of the
 advancing host of flowers, Haunted
 their pretty banners of yellow and pur.- pie and white.
 But this was not in Grasper's Court.
 There was never tree nor vine, nor spear of grass struggling up between
 the bricks of the paved yard, unsightly
 with piles of winter rubbish and fes-
 tooned above with a network of laden and sagging lines. But the sunbeams found their way into Graspers Court and the soft breath of spring was waited across the three long balconies at the back of the dingy brick tene- ment house. It was so bright and cher ry that most of the women flung back the shutters and left the windows open wide for the free entrance of the sun light into their shabby little kitchens, and went on with their work with spirits frightened by the thought that the long, dreary winter at last was real ly over, The older children had strolled away in search of occupation or amuse- ment in the streets; the little ones play ed in the court with less of contention and clamor than usual. It was as if the sweet spring sunshine had entered into their little souls and disposed them to contentment and peacefulness.
 By and by the door of No. g. the cen- tral tenement of all the nine, opened and the three little McPherson's came out on the balcony. Their fair little faces shown from newly administered scrubbing, their yellow locks were staight and sleek, and their garments, though much mended, were very clean Their mother followed, bringing out some geraniums, set in gaudily labeled tomato cans, and these she placed in the sunshine, upon the broad rail of the | balcony. The children looked admiring- ly at these wonderful plants, one of | which proudly bore a single scarlet bloom.

The Palace of Bnkhchisnrni.

All archaeologists will receive with pleasure the news that the government has granted thirty-six thousand rubles for the purpose of restoring to some what of it's former beauty the ancient Khan-sarai, or Palace of the Khans of the Crimea, at Bakhchisarai. The work of restoration Is to be carried on under the direction of the Academician Kotoff, who is to restore it to the same appearance as when 1t was previously restored by Prince Potemkin for the re- ception of Catherine the Great in 17S7. This ancient palace is reported to have been erected in the thirteenth century, and some portions belong to the elev- enth century. The second court, which is called the new1building, is entered by an iron gate, on which is the inscrip- ton stating it to have been erected by Mengni Ghirey Khan, who conquered the Crimea in 14S0 In addition to the interesting suite of apartments con- tained in this court are two fountains, one of which has been rendered histori- cal by the famous Russian poet Push- kin, and the inscription on it states that 1t was erected in 1756 by Khan Krim Ghirei in honor of Diliarah Bikeh, his beautiful Geoigian wife, whom he could never induce to change her religion as a. Christian to join that of the Mussul- man,
 Adjoining the Khan-Sarai is a large building containing the monuments of nearly all the Khans since 1854, and many tombs of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, as well as the tomb of Devlet Ghirey, belonging to the year 955. When visited this old palace and passed two nights therein, two years ago, was able, through the courtesy of the authorities to examine all the interesting relics contained in this place, and, although the original Tar tar silk and satin hangings to the Khan's council-hall and private apart ments were somewhat faded, yet the excellent manner in which everything has been kept leaves the palace in al- most its original condition, as when It was inhabited by the mighty Tartar Khans in bygone ages, notwithstanding that during the Crimean war it was used as a hospital, and that nearly if ty thousand Russians were carried out of the building to find a resting place for ever within a few minutes walk of its historical walls.-Odessa Cores pondence of the London Standard.

A STARTLING FACT.
Sixteen Per Cent. of Life Insurance Applicants Rejected on Account of Diseased Kidneys.

sixteen Per Cent. of Life Insurance
 Applicants Rejected on Account of
 Diseased Kidneys.
 Dr. Lambert, the general medical director Of the Equitable life Insurance Company, New York, is reported to have said Were ject sixteen per cent. of the applicants for Insurance, and have saved the entire ex- pense of this medical departm ent by the re- lection of applicants who had diseased kid- neys, and who dicd within two years after l rejected them."
 This appalling statement should have the attention of our citizens. There is no reason to-day why people should allow kidney dis ease to get such hold on them. Nature sends her warning in the slight pain in the back, poor circulation of the blood, sediment in the urine. When any of these symptoms appear, Dr. David Kennedys Favorlte Rem edy should be taken in small doses at once, and thus drive the poison out of the blood and restore the kidneys to healthy action. To our Knowledge this Is the only medicine tuhC surely cures this almost universal com plaint.
 We note the recovery of Mir. Oscar Lambert or Jer1co, Mo-, whose case has been talkel of ln tho papers the word over. Quoting from hls letter to the Press. MT. Lambert says VI neglected the first symptoms until l found myself in bed with complicated disease of the Kidneys; No mortal ever suffered more and lived. My physician failed to help mes then used Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy; It relieved my kidneys almost im- mediately and in a few weeks I was clear of all pain and entirely cured.'
 Favorite Remedy has had more free adver- using in the columns of the daily papers than anything we know of, from the fact that lt does as Is proms d-cures disease.
