Tit for Tat.

Carroll D. Wright, national labor
commissioner, does not believe that
women are seriously invading the i'll
dustrial domain of men. In the first
place, he says, women are in many
cases taking the place of children, not
Of men; in the second place, invention
and discovery, like the railroad, the
telegraph, the telephone and the use of
electricity, are opening many new &C.
equations to men. The reasons given
by employers for their employment of
women are that they are more adapt
able to work; are more reliable, more
easily controlled, neater faster, more
Industrious, careful, polite and docile.
One superiority is likely for many
years yet to give women, where other
things are equal, an advantage over
men-that is sobrety. This virtue is
becoming more and more essential to
success, and employers are making 1t
more and more an absolute condition
advantage of willingness to accept low
er pay. But this will not always last.
Wages, like water, will seek their level.
But in a competition between sobriety
and drunkenness woman will for long
time surpass her male rival. 1t is to be
considered, too, that if women are sup
planting men in some occupations, men
began it," The spinning, the knit
ting, even the weaving, the making of
garments, all of the cooking and pre-
serving, the products of the dairy,
were not many years ago household du-
ties performed almost entirely by wo-
men. These occupations now give en-
ployment to large numbers of men as
well as women. So that il he re-
proaches her with encroaching upon
his industrial domain, she can truth
fully accuse him of first being an in
truder and trespasser upon hers.

To Abolish Sweat Shops.

Another move is to be made in New
York by the Brotherhood of Tailors
with its organization of $4,000 men,
bers, to abolish the sweating, or con-
tract, system. Meyer Schoenfeld, who
Is the business agent of the brother
hood, has started the crusade The
executive board of the brotherhood has
addressed circular to the Clothing
Manufacturers association, calling
upon it to arrange conference for the
purpose of abolishing the contract sys-
TEN by peaceful means. THE great
Strikes" says the committee, (which
have been taking place year after year
on the east side have been the cause
of great loss to manufacturers as well
as workers. arrangements in the in
dustry have occurred which it has
taken months to recover from, and the
workers have suffered from long per-
ods of starvation" Schoenfeld be-
lieves that not only will strikes be
prevented by the abolition of the con-
tract system, but all clashes of any
kind with the employers. He argues
that the wholesalers will find it more
profitable to open shops and employ
their men directly. The profits which
are now made by contractors can be
distributed in the form of higher wages
and the working day can be reduce
to a reasonable length.

will return the compliment in closing,
Go OIL in your effort to cause working
men to combine in a labor party, but
leave the chip where it fell from your
shoulder. Hold on to your belief that
it is nc crime to smash the old polit'
ical parties, but be careful that you
do not strike your friends. Continue
in spreading the seed Of public owner

Through it. the surplus labor can be

The regulation of machinery, which

spirit here, particularly in the aSip-

An English exchange says: "Con-
siderable discussion has naturally en-
sued on the rise of bread, and 1t is sug-
gested that bakers are making more
than a legitimate profit. Taking the
statistics Of the Labour Gazette, we
find that during the second week in
August the price Of wheat was 29s Sd,
and in the second week in September
1t had risen to 33s Id per quarter. For
the same weeks the price of the four
pound loaf was respectively 4.97d and
5.68d, which gives a rise Of 3s Sd per
quarter in wheat and II in the four
pound loaf. 1t is estimated that 120
loaves of four-pounds each can be
made from a quarter of wheat, so at
the prices given above the August loaf
would, counting only the price Of
wheat, cost 295d, and the September
loaf 3.30d. There is therefore an in
crease of lid in the price of the Sep
TENDER as sold by the bakers as
against .35d per loaf, charging only the
cost of the wheat"

A bride of a year was recently heard
to say that ten of her acquaintance
were to be married before Christmas,
and that as the parents of all of them
had sent her expensive wedding gifts,
she and her husband were in much
perturbation about the customary re-
turn. There is food for reflection in
her comment that as they lived in a
small rented house andNkept but one
servant, their valuable silver was still
stored in the vault where it had been
placed at their marriage; that al
though the gifts represented over
three thousand dollars, the young hus-
band had to struggle for their liveli-
hood; and that the most modest pres
ents they could select for their ten
friends would take his whole months
salary.

MARY ANDERSON-NAV
She Is Happy in Her Home at the Foo.

She Is Happy in Her Home at the Foo.
of the Cotswolds
Since her retirement from the stage
Miss Mary Anderson, now Nine. de
Navarro, has lived in Broadway, an
English Sleepy Hollow, nesting at the
foot of the Cotswolds, says London
Sketch. She has entirely thrown off
the artist and become as much one
OF the people as the good folks, her
neighbors, many of whom, by the way
such is the primitiveness of the vii
lage-have never seen railway and
know no more advanced mode of loco
motion than the carriers cart. AS for
| the rumor that went round the country
the other day that Nine. de Navarro
| intends to re-enter public life as a vo-
calist, 1t Is the mere vaporings of the
gossip monger. Miss Anderson has al
ways taken pleasure in singing and
voice is much finer one than it's pos
SCISSOR ever imagined. The credit Of
finding this out is due to Miss Maude
Valerie White, the composer, Miss An
dersons next door neighbor and con-
genial spirit Miss White was delight
ed with her friends voice and took the
greatest pleasure in helping to develop
it. What more natural, then, than
that Miss Anderson should assist at
her friends concert? Dismiss the
idea of the great actress becoming
professional vocalist as the veriest
dream. But people did not know this
when they went to the concert at the
Lyon Arms, an old hosiery with
memories OF King Charles and Crom-
well. The hall was crowded with peo-
ple-country gentry, enthusiastic
Americans and loyal Broadwayites
(who swear by Miss Anderson as the
good genius of this lovely village).
Miss Anderson sang no fewer than
eight songs, most of them the compo-
sition OF Miss White. Her voice is a
full and deep contralto, flexible and
of fine timbre. The spirit with
which the singer attacks the familiar

friends. They had come prepared to
hear the singing of clever amateur.
But here was a dramatic fire, variety
of expressions, and, above ALL a deep
sense of musical propriety. The ap-
pause was as sincere as it seemed
grateful to the singer. No need to ask
whether Nine. de Navarro was pleased.
Her face told the tale. In her dress
of pale green silk, graceful and lissom
as of yore, she looked as young as
when she first captivated England's
heart as Perdita or Juliet. The face
of the successful artist Is seldom en-
tirely pleasing when in repose; there
is almost invariably a spoiled, selfish
look, some suggestion of pettishness
or regret. But Miss Anderson is un-
spoiled by her success, and one may
verify believe that her self-imposed Sc
clusion has brought with it no heart
burnings. She lives between her do
nestle cares, the delights of social life
and the consultations of the little chap
ell. whose altar she is as proud to
adorn as she was that of the Ursuline
convent at Louisville in her girlhood
days.

Into Steam, Fertilizers. Soap. Etc.
William George Jordan, writing OIL
wonders of the Worlds Waste" in the
Ladies' Home Journal, says: "The gar
bage of great city is worth fortune
, every year, If properly utilized. In st.
Louis, Mo-, the refuse is placed in en-
ormous vertical cylinders, surrounded
by steam jackets, which evaporates the
70 to 80 per cent of water in the gar
bage. The fatty substances are dis
solved, and as the result of a number Of
processes a fertilizer is produced which
is worth from so to SIP ton, the de-
mand exceeding the supply. One of the
purest and best soaps of the country
was made of garbage grease before cot
ton seed oil entered the field. 1t is
tricity for nothing. 1t now costs that
city $1.0S (4s. 3d. to get rid of ton OF
garbage. A combination of boilers and
other apparatus has been devised that
can burn the garbage at twenty-four
cents Zone shilling) per ton, and gener-
ate steam sufficient to run enough dy-
namos to light the entire city. Lon
don can thus save 3s. Sd. on each ton,
and, in addition. illuminate its city
without cost. Garbage, by machine
called the dust INSTRUCTOR is converted
into clinkers. which can be used for
roadways, as artificial stone for side
walks, and as sand for mortar and &C.
ment. In Paris the invisible particles
of iron, worn from wheels and from the
shoes of horses, are rescued by passing
powerful magnets through the sweep

A more dramatic ending Of the life
of public character and political re-
former could hardly be invented by
the novelist than the death of Henry
George four days before the great
municipal election in New York. It
was the sober tribute of the whole
community that he had laid down his
life for the well-being Of his fellow
men, and, men of wealth and envied
station WED with workingmen in
speaking his praise and showing hon
or to his memory. Yet some years
ago, when his well-known work,
Progress and Poverty" was the text
book Of an active propaganda in favor
of the naturalization of land, it was
customary to denounce Henry George
as the prophet and apostle of the most
immoral and dishonest crusade against
established rights and institutions
that had been seriously undertaken in
modern times. How has it come about
that a writer who was then so COM
monty reprobated as a charlatan
should now be treated as a lofty pat
riot, a moral hero, true philanthropy
ist, a prophet Of Righteousness and al
most as a saint to be reverenced? Only
one explanation can satisfy all the
facts. Well may we ask, will the an
archists of today be the defenders OF
our country's honor tomorrow?

In addition to the strike of the en-
gineers, or machinists. which is con-
stantly assuming greater proportions,
England is threatened with a strike of
cotton spinners and weavers, which
would involve 100000 operators. This
situation has been brought about by a
demand on the part of the manufacture
ers for a reduction in wages, but there
is fiat and positive refusal on the
part of employees to accept their terms.
A reduction Of wages, they say, is no
remedy for bad trade; the gain to the
employers from the reduction will be
speedily lost by them in competition
on the market and other reductions of
expenses, which would not entail gen.
eral loss to the community. The loss
10 the operative spinners, if they ac-
cede to the demand for a reduced
wage, is estimated at 81, 425,000 per an
mum and to the operative weavers at
So, $50 900 per annum, or more than a
round $5,0OO,000 in all. 1t may be re-
garded as certain that the mems or
CARNATIONS will resist in the most
strenuous way in their power-that is,
by going out on strike and fighting till
their resources are exhausted-the ef-
fort to deprive them of all this money.
The curtailent of production by the
working of short time" is the remedy
which they offer and which they are
nrenared in all emergencies to carry
out.
