The San Francisco call., 1896-08-02

The remark is often heard, "Girls are
taking mems places" That phrase is
often wrongly used. When girl takes a
place, does the same work for the same
wages as man would geo. she takes no
mans place. 1t is her own. But when a
girl takes place where some man used to
make living, and does his work with
equal excellence for one-third or one half
the wages, she is taking his place and he
and all the men engaged in the same line
of work have cause for a grievance
against her.
In strict justice she has no right to this
in the present condition of society, which
is anything but justice. it seems q neces.
sity.
Perhaps when girls are taught the prin-
ciples of political economy they may
realize that this partly subsidized labor is
wrong. They certainly do not now. L
have talked to them often and found only
the densest ignorance.
That it is wrong to do a mans work for
81 week is too deep for the girl who can
live at home and have all the 81 for pocket
money. That the cook in the kitchen is
more independent and occupies a position
more honorable seems to her only an
insult.
They are forced into it, too, if home is
crowded and the head of the family can
not provide enough for all. The 81 or $5
seems great help. 1t is one of those de-
ceitful helps that really hinder by max
ing the labor of other workers worth
less.
1t is useless to explain to struggling
family that this cut in wages that gives
employment to one of its members cuts
the difference off the wages of thousands
of other people. Present need blots out
the sight of the future reaction.
An anxious mother will offer the SER
vices of her son in Office or store for pit
tance just to keep him off the street
Does she see the selfishness, the inhuman-
ity of it? To save herself little worry, or
to shift the consequence of her careless
raising, she makes the family man at the
next desk work for pittance too.
In the professions this conflict OF the
sexes has made as yet no difference. The
woman physician and the man are paid
alike, the teacheris paid regardless of sex,
and the writer is paid for what she does,
not for what she is.
These women are educated to see the
error of offering their services at dis
count, and when men learn that to COM
pei a girl to take less than would be
offered a man is to make the next man ac-
cept the same, there will be less jealousy
when woman does receive good wages.
1t ought not to crowd out one worker if
another joins the ranks. Things work in
q circle The more earned the mora will
be spent. The more produced by labor,
the more labor ought to be able to afford
to use.
The merchant says he cannot afford
more clerks because he does not sell more
goods.
The worker says if he could have con-
slant employment he would have more
clothes and better food. One condition
would produce the other. There is some-
thing all wrong.

Another opening can be found for the
musical bicycle. There is a possibility
that it may relieve the fond father from
the necessity of getting up during the
night and walking the floor with the cry
ing baby ALI pa would have to do under
those circumstances would be to get his
bicycle upstairs from the lower hall.
Taking the baby in his arms he could then

THE BOY PRESIDENT.

There have been many disparaging
remarks about nominee w. J. Bryan's
youth. Many have isald that he is too
young to be President.
The Norfolk Virgfnian says that a
venerable minister asserted on Sunday
that he would leave the Democratic
party because it wanted to put boy in
the Presidential chair at Washington.
In answer to the minister, correspond
ent to the Virginian asserted that
young men have ruled the world
through centuries.
Alexander, he points out, conquered
it at 80; Byron died at 81; Don John,
OF Austria, won Leparte at Is; CASTOR
de Folk was only % when he conquer
ed Ravenna, the great DUKE of Weimer
was only SO when he died, Cortes was a
little more than 80 when he gazed on
the Cufulas of Mexico, Luther achiev-
ed the reformation at IS, Pascal wrote
a great work at 16, Bryant wrote Than
atopsis at 81, Raphael, the Immortal
painter, died at 81; Bolllngbroke and
Pitt were ministers before they were
80, Grocien was Attorney General at
70 and Richelieu was Prime Minister
at 80. And yet men complain because
Bryan will be President at &c."

EQUAL OFANYSINCE JACKSON

Hon. w. A. B. Branch, of the Sec
ond District, and who was in Congress
with Mr.. Bryan, speaks thus of the bril-
liant young Presidential candidate
"Bryan as President will be the equal
Of any since the days of Jefferson. Rails
ed among the people, he has seen and
felt their troubles and sufferlngs caused
by high protective tariff and ever-in-
creasing standard. His heart is full of
sympathy for all. He will as President
know no faction, no class, but will be
President Of the entire country. Being
unmortgaged to the trusts and other
interests which Cypress a great people,
he will be free to use every means at
his command to place the entire coun-
try upon the high road to prosperity,
to start every wheel of every manufac-
turing industry from Maine to Texas,
from North Carolina to California to
adjust the currency of the country to a
basis that will make panics unnecessa-
ry and the manufacture of them impos-
sible to give those who desire to earn
an honest living chance and give the
sons OF toll, whether in the mines, in
the cities, or under the midday sun of
the open fields, an opportunity once
more to prosper and iye as free men
and Americans. His action imme-
diately after his nomination In declar-
ing that under no circumst ances if
elected would he be q candidate for
reelection, marks him as honest, sincere
and trying to put himself beyond the
power of doing things to secure his
own ambitious ends"

CHARACTERIZATION"

gave the following account of the
Crumpler meetings at Clinton:
s'Three services have been held daily.
The meetings may be said to commence
at 9 a. m. and to continue until mid
night. Fifteen hours of the day are thus
given to the worship of God by sermon,
song and prayer. A host of workers
are on the grounds helping to bring
sinners to the altar, and ministering
unto those who fall down in frances
and lie for hours PROSTATE by the
strange influence of "Sanctification."
"The scenes at each service are some
thing new and amazing to many of our
people. Under the tent people fall
into frances in which they sometimes
see visions of heaven and all its glory,
and converse with angels. Not only
at the tent but at their homes at all
hours of the night people fall under
mysterio influence, some rto frances
and Others into unspeakablY happy
frames of mind. The latter shout and
laugh with JOY. Those who profess
sanctifcation are cleansed of all sin
and enter into a holy estate. They
laugh at temptations, having power to
resist them, and to abstain from all SIN.
They resist the devil and he fees from
them.
"The doctrine of 'Sanct1fcation, or
perfect love- Is new to this country.
Many who opposed it at first are now
converted to it. Some say they re-
gard 1t as the reaction following in
tense excitement-a kind of nervous
prostrat1on in some cases, in which the
mind wanders and sees visions as would
person in the clutches of delirium.
The strange happiness, these hold, is
but fruit of overweight minds.
Evangelist Crumpler and his con-
verts say that it is old time religion,
pure and simple, of the kind that over
took Paul on the highway, and pros
trated him in trance In which visions
came to him, and he heard the voice
of Jesus Christ cry unto him, Saul.
Saul, why persecutest thou me?'
"By numerous scriptural references
Evangelist Crumpler upholds the doc
trine OF Sanctification and sustains his
methods of bringing sinners to repent
ance and leading them into a new and
better life.
Ellis way of doing this may not meet
the appreciation of all persons, but
Judging the tree by its fruit, he is do
ing good and bringing into the fold
many who have not needed any other
invitation. So far nearly 100 sancti-
fications and conversions have bean re-.
ported"

nature, backed by a. noble and hui
name impulses. If the Northern press
does think that they wore enthusiasts,
1t 10 unwise in saying they were insin-
cere. And if, after all, the free silver
laea does prevail, and it now looks like
Mr.. Bryan will be elected, and it
should prove disastrous to the country,
1t could not be charged even then that
the men who fought It out were not
good and honest men.
The ugly faces made at the Tree sill
yer platform in calling 1t sectionalism
are but healthy breeze to fan the
flame of enthusiasm that will sweep
the country in November.
Personally, Mr.. Bryan, the man
choeen by the Democratic party to
had its hosts to victory, is a man of
model lie. He Is clean man. He
Is q strong man. He is leader, and
one that inspires confidence. The
calling OF his name already brings a
glow of pleasure to the members of
the great Democrat party that has
chosen him to lead. He is a pure
man, against whom nothing can be
brought in public or private life, 60
far az We have read and such q man,
fearing God and loving humanity. is
worthy to be trusted a. leader for the
great people that has called him to be

and the triumph of the principles Of

hoeves every true Democrat to labor.

readers will, therefore. be interested in
the following:
"Arthur Sewall was born at Bath,
Me-, November 25th, 1885. He has
been a lifelong Democrat and has
been chairman of the Maine Demo
cratic State committee for many years.
His residence is the Sewall estate in

Bath. There are two children-Har-
old M. and VIM. D. Harold M. was
appointed during Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration United States Consul
General at Samoa, but has since gone
over to the Republican party.
Mr.. Sewall has been engaged most
of his life in ship building and ship
owning. In early days he built wood
en- whalers and coasters for which the

 Two chief engineers of the navy have just been placed on the retired list upon their own applications, after 40 years service, though neither of them has yet reached the retiring age.
 One of them, Chief Engineer Kutz. has been stationed at the Mare island navy yard, and has been prominently identified with the construction of the machinery of the ships of the new navy, his last duty having been at the Union iron works, San Francisco, prior to which he was at C-sInp's. Chief Engineer Thomson has been on duty at Cramps for several years, and for the past six months at the Newport News works, experimenting tl,r machinery of the Kearsarge and Kentucky, his previous duty in this line having spe- cially fitted him for this work. Both of these officers are recognized to be among the ablest in the engineer corps, and their retirement is generally re- gretted. MT. Kutz will engage in en- gineering work in San Francisco and Mir.

 DUBLIN, Ga., Aug. 3L-A negro preacher was lynched. and the shock sustained by his companion caused the latter's death, 15 miles from here yesterday. The two negroes, William Wright and Enoch Airline, both Meth odist preachers. went to Wilkinson county to attend protracted meeting. They were on their return home, when suddenly band of men confronted them, stopped the horse, pulled Airline from the vehicle and carried him to a dense thicket beside the road. Here the mob threw a rope around his neck, and, without giving him a moment to pray, pulled him up the tree, and kept the unfortunate preacher there until death relieved his sufferings. As soon as this was accomplished the mob rushed to get Wright, but he escaped by flashing his horse and getting out of their reach. He was badly frightened. and on reaching home complained of being i'll. and in two hours he was dead, death ensuing from pure fright and the horrible sight witnessed by him of Arline's fate.

Typhoid Fever KavaEfng MorgantOwn, w.
 Va, and Vicinity.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. BOA special from Morgantown, w. va., says: An alarming epidemic of typhoid fever has broken out in this section of West Vir- ginia. At Rivesville and New England mines, villages between here and Fair mont, there are nearly 100 cases re- ported and several deaths occur daily. All operations in the mines and in other lines of business have been sus. pended, and aid is being solicited to take care of the sick. Local physicians are going day and night, and physicians from Morgantown and Fairmont make daily visits. The state board of health has received information that the dis ease is prevalent in Lewis and Ran- dolph counties and is spreading. The epidemic is attributed to the stagna- tion of drinking water in wells and springs, caused by the high water. There is not much hope of checking it sOOn
