SOME CLOSE REASONING.

man who holds office in Germany
 has got to mind his ps and qs The chief administrative court of Berlin has just rejected the appeal of local offl-
 cial against his dismissal by district
 council for the offence of having, in his
 private capacity as a householder, let
 a room to woman known to be an &C.,
 tive Social Democratic agitator The
 wording of the Judgment leaves no
 doubt concerning the government policy
 towards the Social Democratic party.
 It begins by announcing that the court must proceed on the principle it has al- ways clung to, that officials, even those dependent on local authorities, violate their duty and show themselves unwor- thy of the confidence their profession demands if they consciously support or aid the efforts of a party which delib- erately attacks the existing constitution of the law and the state. The accused has favored these efforts by letting lodging to a woman who is a Social Democratic agltator. By so doing he facilitated her residence in that neigh borhood and the continuance of her agi- tation. For an official, through indif- ference, the neglect and danger invo1v- ed in thus favoring Social Democratic agitation is equivalent to deliberate en- uragement. In such matters an off, cial may not be indifferent. An official who by letting lodging provides a wo- man like the agitator in question with the opportunity to continue her efforts to destroy the peace of society and un- dermine the existence of the family cannot retain the necessary confidence of the authorities or of the public itself, and only shows that he lacks all appre- citation of the most essential duties of a position of authority.

Fearless Feet.

"Where go you, Mistress Fly-a-way?
 The stones are rough and long the street. So dauntlessly she looks at mel "Oh, have you never heardT' said she,
 No harm can come to fearless feet But what If sorrow come your way?
 To every heart there cometh some" "Oh, hills too hard to climb" quoth she, "Will never, never come to me.
 To fearless feet they cannot come" But sin and shame do walk abroad,
 And well they love a thing SO sweet. "She glances back with mocking eyes, And ever walking on, replies,
 No harm shall come to fearless feet .tBut life Is sure a woe to hold
 For one so full of naught but fun" Yet, stepping. always recklessly, Forever dancing on. goes she,
 Nor draws she back and fears she none. Well, go you, Mistress Fly-a-way!
 And trip 1t thro' the woodland wild. But many tear shall 1uench your fire And cruel stones your feet shall tire
 Yet go you forward, reckless child! But when deaths chasm yawneth wide. And when its rushing stream you hear| My feet shaI falter not" said she, ''Thro' even that they'll carry me-
 Because they know not craven fear" And so we only watch and pray
 Mid sunny hours and dreary seet, Ihro' merry laughter, bitter tears. Ger all the stones thro all the years,
 That Heaven will guide those fearless
 feet.

general fault about these hats is their lack of detail, and in the later models this defect is corrected. You see one in this picture. Instead of being one fluffy mass, as were too many of the earlier ones, it had at the right side a rOsette of black velvet ribbon. This was so big that it was impossible that the black tulle of the remainder should dominate, and for that reason was a vast improvement
 The gown of this picture was a fine illustration of how distinctly summery materials are this year made up elabo- rately yet with strict adherence to sim pie outlines. It was composed of plain blue and of blue and white dotted chal lie. As both goods entered into skirt bodice and sleeves, the gown had any thing but simple look, though of tailor like severity of line Crystal buttons were enclosed by the bodice scallops.
 A useful costume just now Is a black taffeta, the skirt trimmed with flounces set on in modish fashion and edged with rows of black velvet ribbon A coat of the silk may be made with a fancy Waistcoat of some elaborated silk in a lighter color, or may be a jaunty double breasted affair Skirt and coat with black fluffy hat makes an entirely suit able, cool and inconspicuous street rig in the city, while the coat may be worn over bodice of any degree of elabora- tion. Careful dressers fear to seem overdressed in the street or cars, and such costume will be appreciated by such. It can be carried out for out of town use in tea colored taffeta or in gray or blue FLORETTE.

1 Nebraska hasn't had very good luck
 in making laws against octopi and ''sich." One of the latest achievements
 of the Nebraska lawmakers is law
 which aims to regulate the employment
 of women in the various industrial and
 mercantile establishments of the State. l The law, which will be in force July 1, 1 is sweeping in its provisions. It not 1 only regulates and limits the hours of l employment of women in manufactur- | ing and mercantile establishments, but requires every employer to provide suit
 able seats for them to occupy during working hours. Heavy penalties are provided for infractions of the law. The law was doubtless conceived in a most commendable spirit to protect women workers from the oppressive exactions of inhuman employers. The motive be- hind its enactment was the ameliora- tion of the hardships to which women employees are subjected, but like all laws of this character, there is danger that its drastic provisions will defeat the purposes of the law, and instead of improving conditions of female labor will throw thousands of women out of employment Proprietors of big mer- cantile establishments declare their in- ability to comply with the provisions of the law, and are therefore compelled to displace women with men. Even though the women protest their indifference to the law and their willingness to work under former conditions, the employers cannot afford to take the risk of being continually arrested and subjected to heavy fines.
 One of the morals to be deduced from this state of things is that it isn't easy to do some thingssthat look easy to do'

true, viz, that labor employs capital, l and that Whenever men are free to em- ploy themselves in any manner they may desire, these two, capital and labor will | be so correlated that both will get their share and each benefit the other. Then all would be protected alike, and trusts would neither benefit the men who form | them nor injure any others. They would simply assume the position in the com | munity which rightfully belongs to | them as outgrowths of commercial pro gress, no longer menace to any one. | Artificial restriction under such con- | ditions would be unnecessary, for where men can get foreign made goods at less | expense of labor than if they made them | themselves, they surely ought to have l the benefit of them. One of the greatest | difficulties in the understanding of this matter is the strange idea that labor is desirable thing in and of itself mo- ment's thought serves to convince any reasonable man that we belle such no- tion at every turn for we are constant ly contriving new labor machine ", and methods which shall eliminate the necessity for human labor. What we are really seeking is not labor, but it's result and all our ingenuity is bent upon getting it in the easiest possible way.
 That Free Trade England is the mother of trusts is a hasty conclusion arrived at after witnessing English cap- ital invested In American industries, and involves your correspondent in this di lemma: He must now explain how Eng- x,ith lo,, 1o ,onliou and comparatively small natural resources, has continued to grow richer, until she has at last given birth to "the greatest menace" this country, with it's unlml- ted resources, has ever known. Will he please explain how, with diminishing exports, and little or no protection, she became go rich, and also how it hap- pened that she was able to get this great and independent country, with it's bull wark of protection, so by the throat?
 He accuses me of using false logc" This is a commodity which I have not previously met with I plead guilty to the charge of using logic, and can testi- fly that so far it has proved an infalllble guide. That I have q purpose to serve in advocating democratic ideas not party democracy, however,, is true, And that purpose is shortly this: To SO apply logic to economics that in the | future humanity may be blessed by eve- ry labor saving institution, instead of | cursed, as heretofore, and that the land, the common heritage of all shall belong | to all. and thus for the first time, make the Declaration of Independence living truth by giving to all men equal oppor- tunities in the bounties of nature,

The Mother of the Trusts.

Io the Editor of the Journal and Courier.
 The nameless correspondent who re- piled to my letter in your issue of June l1 falls into very common error in not confining himself to the very plain state ments contained therein. If people would be more careful to take only what is said, instead of supposing lot of things and Judging motives, we might see far more intelligent correspondence in our papers, and many earnest think CTS would be helped by the light thrown on important subjects by open and free discussion. As did not state any falla- cies, it was not necessary for me to ex- plain them afterward. I stated just what I had heard and named my au- thority. Whether this was the teaching of the republican party or not I must leave. All know is that those who said it were in it's employ, and the vast amount of literature which I collected on this subject bore that name Also, I have heard their cry of "Overproduc- ton" at every period of depression I can remember It has always been their ex- cuse for shutting down mills and reduc- ing wages, and is so notorious as to need no emphasis
 That under-consumption was the real explanation is true, but that it was calsed by importing goods from abroad Is d miSCOnCeption oI the same order as that which maintains that it is better to manufacture ice, at great expense in hot countries than to import it from regions where nature attends to this business This notion is strengthened by the belief held by many people who have no clear idea of economics, that wages are drawn from capital, the natural inference be- ing that capital must precede wages, and must be protected. This being done, it is argued labor will receive it's full share. It is unquestionably true that large number both of capitalists and laborers hold to this idea to-day. So we have the blind leading the blind, and now and again both fall into a ditch
 When people have studied economics more, and party politics less, they will discover the reverse of ,the above to be

YHE NEW MI,IOn.

The good things which are being said of the new Major of the Foot Guard have full warrant in fact. Major Clark is amply equipped for the military du- ties of his office. He will also be entirely at home in the social duties thereof. Moreover his interest and pride in the organization of which he is now the head are intense. He will spare no pains to increase it's standing and add to it's fame. He is popular and respected both in and out of the Guard, is a first-rate citizen, and in all ways worthy to com mand his historic company.

In this circular 1t is pointed out that the Delaware law doesn't leave much to be desired by the promoters of trusts For example, it permits the swapping of unpaid stock for services, exempts trusts from giving 'secret" or "confidential' information in their annual reports, makes it difficult for outsiders to examine the concern S books, permits the suppression of the names of subscribers to stock and al lows the stockholders to hold their meet irgs and to keep the original stock and transfer books outside the State.

A London paper directed attention the other day to historical parallel to the
 miscarriage of justice in the case of Captain Dreyfus. It was toward the nlose of the reign of Louis XIV, and the French court was in confusion. The Comte de Bellegarde had noticed that several of the army men about him were engaged, with the connivance of the contractors and inspectors, in rob- ping the war department outrageously. Being g. man of honor, the count gave Information. The director of the arse nal. General de Saint Auban, protested sndignantly against the accusation, and 3n turn denounced the Comte de Belle rarde as a traitor to his country By means of forged documents and false witnesses the count was convicted and sentenced to degradation and fmprison- ment for twenty years i'll a fortress. lie ,nrotested his innocence to the end, but his decorations were stripped from him and he was carried away from his wife and children. But the wife, whose-name, like that of Mime. Dreyfus, was Lucie, set to work quietly to prove the injus- Hica of the sentence. Friends surround ed the heroic woman and relative of the imprisoned comte charged General Saint Auban with the forgery.

In the manufacturing towns in the In- diana gas belt the prospective failure within a few years of the supply of natural gas is a serious question. The existfnce of this cheap fuel has given an Gnmense impulse to manufacturing in51ndiana, has attracted a large amount of capital to the state, and has been an important factor in the building up of z some of the most prosperous manufac- turing towns. Between 1880 and 1890 the value of manufactured products in the state increased from $14S, 900 to over $226, 100000, and the increase since 1890 has been still greater. The effect on these industries of the failure of natural gas is being seriously discussed. Fortu- nately for Indiana, 1t has supply of good coal near the centre of population, and sufficient in quantity, according to the state geologist, to serve all expected needs of the state for 1,60o years. New industries may of course, be tempted to other gas fields, but Indiana hopes to vsta4ff all the established plants for the reason that moving is expensive, and hecause of the doubt, resulting from ex- merience. of the long continuance any, where of natural gas.

Professor Maerker, a German wise man, has found out what ails the Span iards. He says they have been the in- nocent and helpless victims of geo. graphic and climatic misfortunes. Spain, he argues, stands apart from the rest of Europe, and it's position, though appar- entity favorable, is really that of land shut off from the life of the world In the age of discovery Spain was again unlucky, according to this authority The wealth of her new acquisitions was great enough to reduce the home popu- 1ation materially and to discourage habits of industry in those who were left, while the trade winds and the equatorial current brought the conquer ing explorers into touch only with the enervating regions of the tropics, and so even in the New World Spain was at an enormous disadvantage, especially as compared with England.
