interview with the Globe Democrat said !:
eve are ON the eve of a dying civil
zation. There yet remain few embers
of the fire that represented the original
American civilization. If we fan them
carefully the blaze will break out anew.
If we handle these embers roughly the
fire will 20 out. This has been the his
tory of all great national crises; it will
prove true of America. A crisis has
been reached, and the the industrial
problem must be properly solved. be-
lieve that it will be-. The next century
will be characterized by the ideal civil
zation of America"
On the subject of women, Mrs. Jones
talked interestingly as follows:
"The conditions existing to-day are
alarming. This is particularly true with
women. I don't care so much for the
men, because they are responsible for all
these things, and if they do not correct
them they deserve no sympathy. But
do feel sorry for the women. A woman
would 90 naked rather than sell her vir'
tue. The average woman is above every
I. thing of that kind under proper condi-
tons; but when she and her children are
starving she falls or commits suicide.
Can YOU blame herr Even the men can
not get work. If "a woman is unfortu-
nate enough to secure a job she is COM
PEELED to work many hours for such a
miserable pittance that she can not keep
soul and body together. The average
woman will not sell herself for clothes
or diamonds, but she will for food. A
short time ago was returning to Pitts
burg at night, after having made speech
in the country. On the way we passed
a building near one of Andrew Carnegie's
mills. asked what it was, and was
told it was a stable. Tackled on to one
end of it was small shanty, not nearly
so comfo1 table as the stables, and in it,
I was told, lived several women en-
ployes of Carnegie. In short, the Carn-
egie stables and dog kennels are much
more comfortable than the quarters in
which many women are forced to live.
And still people blame women for going
wrong.
One of President McKipley's latest
appointments is that of Henry Demas
to be naval officer of the customs at
New Orleans. The New York World
says OF this appointment:
The president made the appointment t
with full knowledge that Demas was
perjurer, bribe-giver, a bribe-taker,
man without character, boon CON-
panion of the frequenters and inmates ct
the lowest dives in New Orleans. The
proofs of these allegations were laid be-
fore him and are now in his poss ession
and he has admitted that he has read
them and "was worried by them.
He made the appointment knowing
that the people of the whole country
we're aware Of his complete acquaintance
with the facts about Demas. The proofs
were published in the World IN series
of articles beginning June 18th last, and
were Copied everywhere and were not
and cannot he denied in the smallest par
t1cular of depravity. .s- =.
He made the appointment to fulfil
bargain between Demas on the one side
and William Mckinley, Osborne and
Mark Hanna on the other. Demas and
several of his ''pals'' were pledged and
even sworn to support Reed in the re-
publican national convention. Osborne
bought Demas for Mckinley with cash
and promise of this Office.
President Mckinley has now made
himself a principal partner in this bar
gain, shocking in itself, bu vastly more
shocking in view Of the degraded char
acter of the man with whom the presi-
dent of the United States has locked
arms.
1t is disgraceful act, and one which
will put a lasting stain on the admins
tration of President Mel inley.
The corporation Of Brown University
voted on Wednesday to request Presi-
dent Andrews to withdraw his resis ma
ton. The resolution to this effect con-
tains the following:
It is not IN our minds to prescribe the
path in which you should tread, or to
administer to you any official rebuke or
to restrain your freedom Of opinion or
reasonable liberty Of utterance, but simp-
II to intimate that it would be tho part
