The Work of a Man.

The course pursued by Captain Craw-
'ord of the steamship Teutonic when it..
during its late inward voyage, although
two days overdue, paused for more than
four hours in order that portion of it's
crew might, at infinite hazard, try-ln

human occupants of a disabled fishing

especial distinctness. When the men

after for two hours, in q life boat, BRAY
ing the wind and wave, and getting
themselves encased In sheets of ice and
frozen spray, returned to the steamship
convinced that they could not reach the
distressed ship, Captain Crawford gave
orders to steer his big ocean palace di-
rectly up to the schooner, so that the
occupants of the latter might reach the
Teutonic by launching their own small
boats.
The giving OF such an order involved
no little bravery on Captain Crawford $
part, since In the face of the tremendous

South Dakota's Disgrace.

A falling Off in the decade between
1850 and 1890, Of nearly per cent in
the number of children in each Ameri-
can family is one of the significant
facts revealed by the last national CEN
sus. simultaneously with the an
nouncement of this noteworthy decrease
comes the equally suggestive intelli-
gence that the legislature of South
Dakota, in response to many petit
tions" containing, among their names,
the signatures of prominent church
leaders" has repealed the law requiring
six months residence in that state be-
fore an action for divorce can be
brought, and that it has restored the
old law which required only three
months residence.
We do not know what degree of truth
there is in the foregoing reference to
''prominent church leaders, but if such
leaders have done what they are
charged with having done, the least we
can say concerning them is that they
have been engaged in Il thoroughly con-
temptiDle transaction. The only argu-
ment of any consequence adduced in
behalf Of the change is that yet fur
ther lowering in South Dakota, Of the
ridiculously low bars against divorce
will attract to that state greater num-
ber of temporary residents, most of
them with money to spend. The legis-
lature, in deferring to this mean view of
the subject, has put itself squarely on a
footing with those men, heartily de-
spised in every community, who serve
as middlemen in the traffic in female
dishonor. Indeed, as between the two,
we are not sure that the latter who
openly acknowledge their utter want Of
manly principle, are not, on ethical
grounds. to be preferred to presumably
intelligent legislators who, for a none
tary consideration, deliberately legalize
the wanton severance of family ties and
render easy the evasion of family re-
sponsibilities.
But every cloud has its silver lining;
and we anticipate that one of the i'm
mediate consequences of this South
Dakota action will be to impart new
and pronounced impetus to the lately
qulescent movement in this country for
uniform legislation relating to marriage
and divorce. If the evils of the lax
system prevalent in South Dakota were
confined within the boundaries Of that
state, we could almost afford to let the
prominent church leaders, and other
South Dakota promoters Of social inn
morality revel in the profit of their
nefarious trade. Unhappily, the very
condition of that profit is that there
shall be "A large immigration of coward
ly or treacherous husbands and wives
from other states And this fact will
we doubt not, add speed to the move
ment in favor of honorable uniformity
in all the legal provisions of the various
states intended to safeguard the purity
and the sanctity of the American home

storm of last Friday, it subjected the
Teutonic to the danger of a possible
collision, which could scarcely have
been other than violent and perhaps de-
structive. The experiment, however,
succeeded to perfection, and every man
on board the schooner was picked up
in safety. The contrast afforded be-
tween this circumstance and the craven
course of the captain of the Craithie
after that vessel had struck the Elbe is
exceedingly vivid. According to the
rules of the big steamship companies,
Captain Crawford's course was prob
ably censurab Bile, inasmuch as in the
mad competition for quick voyages
those companies have come to regard
human life of small concern when il
interferes with fast sailing. But judged
by landsmen's standards, it was pure
heroism, which can hardly be praised
too effusively.
All honor to Captain Crawford, and
to his gallant crew!

EaNors Quay County.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Quay county
the new county which is to be added to
the siXty-seven counties of Pennsylvania,
has won its own way in spite of opposi-
tion from the old county seats of the two
counties from which Quay county is to be
created. For many years now the people
of southern Luzerne and northern SchuEl-
kill have been compelled to travel fifty
miles to reach their county seats. Such
journeys have been troublesome and cx-
pensive. They have interfered seriously
with justice. The people have consented
to wrong and crime because of the time
and costliness involved in the legal renl-
edying Of wrong. Witness fees, mileage
allowances, etc, have been very large,
and the cost to the public has, 1t is be-
lieved, been sufficient to maintain another
county with an accessible county seat.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Need of Compulsory Education


Allentown Leader The main purpose
of compulsory education law is to
snatch children from highway idleness
and put them to school by force. There Is
an incidental purpose of shutting them out
of mills and factories till they reach fit
age, but this is minor consideration.
The thing needed is Il strong, forceful,
enforceable law that will put Il vigorous
check to the juvenile truancy and vaga-
bondage that are in such vogue nowadays.
A bill that will simply turn children out
of factories and make no provision for
their employment after they are thus
turned out, will be Il rank failure. The
aim of the law must be, not to employ less
children than now, but to employ many,
many more. And that employment must
be found in the school room. There are
hundreds of Indifferent parents in this
state who have no thought for their chill
drens education They allow them TO
ramble as they please and develop into
ignorant loafcrs rs they will. Instead of
attending school day by day these boys
and girls grow up in dense stupidity and
utter laziness. 1t should be the parents
duty to remedy this; but where the pa
rents fail the state must step in. Hence
the real need of such Il law as Mr.. Farr
has proposed.

pittsburg Commercial e Gazette: The
proposition to add $1,000 to the salary Of

not received with much favor anywhere.
The present compensation Is $l,jOO for the
session. TO add $1,000 to the pay of each
member would increase the expenses OF

passed at the same time by which no one
not competent to earn IA salary of $500
for the few months which go to make up
the session could be elected to the of
flee, the taxpayers would gladly pay the
increase. But what advantage, present
or remote, would the people derive from
the increased expenditure? The salary
now paid is quite tempting enough to the
average politician, and there is always n
lively scramble for the honor and emolu-
ments.

Preparing for II Move on Congress
to Get Their Rights.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 15.-
Woman suffragists throughout the
country are making preparations to
attend the twenty-eighth annual
convention of the National American
Woman Suffrage association, which
will assemble at Washington on the
2Sd of January next year. This is
expected to be one of the largest, as
we'll as one of the most representa-
tive, gatherings of political equality
advocates ever held in the country.
Assurances have been received that
no less than thirty presidents of
state societies will be in attendance,
and large delegations from each
state are expected.
A hearing will probably be had be-
fore the senate and house commit
tees. A resolution will be submitted
asking for an amendment to the
United States constitution so as to
allow women to vote. 1t will be in
troduced as the XVI. amendment,
be submitted to the several states
for ratification, a majority of three
fourths being necessary.
Miss Anthony says that the inten-
ton to go to the Republican party,
that party having a majority in the
senate, is true, and they will say:
Here, the party which has plank
in its platform demanding a free bal
lot and a fair count cannot ignore

TO FREE IRELAND.
Irishmen Said to BE Organizing
and Drilling.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia local paper
tomorrow will say: For the last ten
months a movement has been under
way in the lodges of the Clan-Na-
Gaels in this and other large cities to
organize among the best Irishmen mil
itary companies. In this city alone
there Isl a we'll drilled and equipped
regiment of 500 men, and companies
and regiments are in process of forma
ton in Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago and
other large cities. 1t is said that the
whole movement is a scheme to pre-
pare well trained and armed body of
men to be used when there is an op-
portunity to free Ireland.
This scheme is denied by the lead
ers of the movement, who declare that
the men are drilled for the purpose of
furnishing the United States govern
ment with trained soldiers In case of
an emergency; but notwithstanding
this assertion, it has leaked out that
Ireland's cause is the principal object
of the movement. One of the oaths
which every recruit takes, it is said,
is to serve the cause of Ireland ...
According. to the plan of the organ
izers, a regiment was to be formed in
this city called the First Irish volun-
teers. Each company of this regiment
was to be recruited from a lodge of
the Clan-Na-Gael. The lodges inter-
ested are: Geraldine, Speranza,
Thomas Davis, Emmett, Owen Rhoe,
1nnisfail, Sunburst, Nappertandy, Wolf
tone and Ennis Hope. No man could
join a company unless he was men,
Der of the Clan-Na-Gael. After be-
coming member Of the organization,
he had to be vouched for by two we'll
known Irishmen before he could enlist.
He also had to buy distinctive uni
form and be willing to pay his pro
rata share of the expenses of the
movement.
The organizers were successful. A
battalion of four companies was soon
formed and the men were drilled. Re-
cruits still came in, and today a regi-
ment of ten companies has been
formed, the last company being mus
tered in recently. Each of the ten
companies has about fifty men.
The arm used is magazine rifle of
the most improved style. 1t is a very
handsome weapon. The men are drilled
in the latest drill regulations, includ-
in the new manual of arms introduced
in the national guard Of this state sew
eral weeks ago.

EMPLOYING TAILORS IN NEW
YORK VIOLATE THEIR
BONDS.
OVER 5000 MEN GO OUT
AND THE TROUBLE is EXPECTED
TO BECOME GENERAL
TODAY.
BONDsMEN WILL BE. SUED
TailOrs VIII Invoke the Law for
Justice Against Their Em-
plOyers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The men,
bers of the Clothing Contractors
Mutual and Protective association
have repudiated the contracts en-
tered into by them with the men,
bers of the United Garment Workers
of America in this city last July, and
so the strike involving 10000 tailorS
in New York city, Brooklyn, Browns
Vile and Newark is precipitated.
The contractors are under bonds in
$500 each to live up to the terms of
the agreement for one year, made
during the last conflict between
themselves and the organized tailors,
to whom the contractors had to yield
and grant their demands at the close
of the struggle which terminated
three months ago. Today being the
first work day in the Hebrew calen-
dar, the Hebrew tailors, though an
ticipation of a repetition of the old
trouble, found notices posted up on
almost all the shops stating that
employers had agreed to abolish the
weekly system granted under the
" Wv iolOllo VI lllC llCW COlilldCl, dIlu
that the men would be paid in the
future under the piece and task work
systems.
The employers further notified the
tailorS that they would not in the
future permit the walking delegates
of the United Garment Workers to
enter their shops, and would at the
same time dispense with the services
of timekeepers, whose duty it was to
call out the dinner hour. This great
ly incensed the tailors, who quit work
this morning in 100 shops, employing
5000 workmen.
The news spread like wildfire in the
Hebrew section of the city, and be-
fore noon fully 5000 tailors besieged
the headquarters of the union in
Wallhall hall, where meetings were
held. General Organizer Mayer
Schoenfeld and Secretary Herman
Robinson and the members of the
executive committee of the brother
hood of tailors called on Notary Pub
lie Joseph Schulum and eX-Assistant
District Attorney Thomas j. Bradley,
who acted as counsel for the tailors
in the last strike, and instructions
were given them to at once proceed
against those who signed as securi-
ties the violated agreements of the
contractors. Steps will be taken to
recover the amount Of the bonds CIV
en-, and meantime the fight will wage
| more fiercely than ever, as both sides
| are firm.
The contractors held meeting to-
day and decided not to permit or
ganized labor men to run their es-
| Establishments.
The executive committee of the
| United Garment Workers met to-
night, and it is more than probable
that over $4,000 tailors, pants makers,
cutters, finishers and basters will
| desert the shops.
