RALEIGH RESPECTED.
Moral Effect of a Cruiser Seen In
Morocco.

TANGIER, July 27.-The United States
cruiser Raleigh returned here this morning
Consul General Burke reports that he has
been received everywhere along the coast
with marked respect. He has not yet re-
ceived answer from the sultan to the de-
mands made upon him, growing out of the
recent irritating attitude of the natives
towards American citizens, but the reply is
expected daily, and 1t Is understood that the
government will make all the concessions
asked The demonstration made by the Ra-
leigh has evidently had the desired effect,
and the Moors will hereafter show more con-
sideration for the persons and property of
Americans in Morocco.

among the inhabitants of the island and

This being, from the American stand

THE YANTIC AND CANADIANS.
A Flippant TOrOntOnfnn Talks About

From the Toronto (ont.) Globe.
Interest in the Yantic seems to have
waned. In the first place. it appears that
she is too long, also too deep, likewise too
broad, to go through our canals in full, and
could only pass, If at all. in sections, like
the Dingley bill. There is something hui
initiating in the thought of our prosperous
marts being menaced by sawed-off war

assault by man with a wooden leg. We
had been content to perish, falling on the
foemanS ground, where the ranks are
rolled in vapor and the winds are laid with
sound: but what glory is there in having
warlike editorial and a promising career
cut short by an obsolete cannon ball fired
across Toronto bay out of Misunderstanding
gun laid across a floating sawhorse? Part
of the armament, we are told, consists of
nine-inch smooth-bores. No newspaper in

American newspapers will charge that

of our system of navigation. 1t will be a
weary. long-winded controversy; We can
see that. AS it seems clear that the Yantic
will require new hull, engines, guns, up

why not have entirely new vessel con-
structed in Toronto, thus encouraging home
industry and obligtng our neighbors at the
same time? The Yantic can only run eight
knots an hour, at which rate she would
fall an easy prey to the Macassa and the

Prompt and Economical Repairing.
From the Engineering Record.


Bad pavements between car tracks are
the cause of public complaint I'm Washing
ton, d. c., the street railway companies
there, as in other cities. being apparently
content to let the pavement between the
rails deteriorate, as the less inviting the
surface becomes for horse-drawn traffic the
less the cars are obstructed. The pave
ment on some of the principal streets is
described as "a thing of shreds and
patches and grass grows along the street
car lines. Capt. Lansing w. Beach, the en-
gineer officer in charge of street paving
and street railway matters, proposes that
Congress shall require the companies to
pay in to the District treasury small but
specified percentage of their receipts, the
whole to form a fund from which the Dis
trfct may draw such moneys as may be
needed to keep. the railroads share of the
paving in good condition. Whenever the
amount contributed by any company should
go above a certain altitude the taxation for
paving would cease. and would not be re-
newed until the minimum-to be agreed
upon-should be reached. With such an ar
rangement as that in operation, the repair
ing of railway pavements could be prompt

Women fn business.
Carroll d, Wright in the Chautauquan.

The fact is absolutely demonstrated that
the proportion of females in all occupations
followed is gradually increasing, and that
women are to some extent entering into
places at the expense of the males. A
closer study of all the facts, however,
shows that while the statement: just made
is true, women are more generally taking
the places of children. Through the in
fiuence of a higher intelligence and the &C
ton of law, the number Of children en-
ployed in manufactures is constantly de-
creasing. In 1870 the percentage of chill
dren of the whole number of persons en-
ployed on manufacturing was SIS. while
in 1880 the percentage was only 2.6S. In
very many classes. as children have been
excluded through law and other influences,
adult women have to some extent taken
their places. There need not be any alarm,
therefore, as to the encroachments of wo-
men upon the occupations held by men.

Prosperity ana Negro Labor.


me south is making rapid progress in
cot!on manufacturing. The southern mills
tcok l,42.6l1 bales last year, and the
Lcrthern mills 1,S04,6s0 bales. There has
been remarkable increase in the con-
sumption by southern mills In estimating
me growth of cotton manufacturing in the
south the fact that ten years ago the south
ern mills took only 100000 bales must not
DC overlooked. An increase Of more than
O,Voo bales year for the last decade
means that the time is not distant when
the south will manufacture the greater
part CT her. cotton crop.
And we shall not be surprised if the COL
ored people eventually :. play almost as
prominent part in the cotton mills as they
do now in the cotton fields. 1t may take a
generation or more to train them for mill
work, but when trained they will furnish
cheaper labor than can, be had at the
north, or perhaps even IN Europe. That
being the case. the world may come to de-
pend largely upon the south for cotton
fabrics. The possibility, and even probable
ity. of such thing is what strengthens
the belief that the south eventually will
be the richest section of the country.
