the men were unhappy. They were kept
too much on their good behavior. They
disliked dictation of what they had been
used to consider their private affair.
1t is whispered that the closing Of sa-
looms and gambling establishments was
felt to be burden. So many men were
aggrieved by this or other restrictions
that in protest they organized wide
open party to go to the other extreme.
Apparently they will reach 1t without
difficulty, for they carried the whole
election.
One possible moral to be drawn from
this history Is that man is a queer ami
NAL, accustomed to certain privileges
and much better managed by kindness
than by the wisest feminine despotism
and Is not tempered by knowledge of
his peculiarities and pity at least for
the deficiencies that are his only in vir-
tue of sex, and for which he is thus only
measurably responsible. There are
other morals, but this seems the most
interesting and important.

A NEW REFORM.
(Progress.)

An item comes to us through con-
temporary that the women of Spring
field, Mo-, have organized a society for
the prevention Of malicious gossip,
each member signing this agreement:
IT do hereby solemnly pledge my
word to speak no evil of any woman,
whether such report be true or not"
This Is a movement which might well
be spread to every city, town and viii
lage in the United States. We know
that much of what is said is not really
meant, for women, good at heart and
honest of purpose, cannot delight In
designedly injuring others Of their sex.
However, 1t is indisputable that the
banalities of discourse predominating
today finally end in these evil con-
versations, so much to be dreaded. Nor
Is this true only of assemblages Of
women. Gossip, fully as personal and
more injurious, Is INDUCED in by men
against their own sex, and not unfre-
quently duplicating women. Progress
will be accentuated when we refrain
from evil speeches and topics of gen.
eral interest become the substance Of
conversation at social gatherings. The
women Of Springfield, Mo-, are to be
complimented upon the founding Of such
a society, and to become a member
thereof is more commendable than to
refrain. It is particularly praiseworthy
to purge our conversations Of evil
against women; they, of all others,
should be free from assault and the
tongue Of slander.
Charity thinketh no evil" Bad
enough to think, but God himself can't
l., lnt4 xrrn
voice them. Even IL others have wrong
ed US. kind word Of forgivness makes
us the gamer. The poet, in contemplat-
ing the brevity of life, the few years,
at most, that we have to comfort and
cheer those with whom we come in
contact said:
my heart was heavy for it's trust had
been
Abused; it's kindness answered with
foul wrong.
So, turning gloomily from my fellow
men,
One summer Sabbath day strolled
among
The green molds of the village burial
place;
Where, pondering how all human love
and hate
Find one sad level: and how. soon or
late,
Wronged and rong-doer, each with
meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still neart
Pass the green threshold Of our COM
mon grave
Whittier all footsteps tend. whence none
depart.
Awed for myself, and plying my race
Our common sorrow. like a mighty wave
| Swept all my pride away, and tremb.
ling-I forgave."

FILIPINos AS FACTORY OPERATIVES
ernest II. Crosby, ex-Judge Interna-
tional Tribunal at Alexandria,


Egypt.)
The saddest news that has come from
our new possessions in the Pacific is the
brief statement attributed to Bishop
Potter that the Filipinos take kindly to
our factory system. SO do mice take
kindly to cheese in trap. 1t is strange
that so little attention is paid to the in
dustrial side of benevolent assimilation,
as distinguished from its political side,
and yet the Industrial effects are much
more far-reaching. I have seen our
factory system in full operation in
Egypt I visited the cotton mills at
Monsourah, mills owned and managed
by Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen,
and other Europeans. I saw long rows
OF Arab girls standing up over tubs and
manipulating the raw cotton in an at
mosphere 80 full of cotton dust that I
was glad to escape from the room after
q stay of few minutes.
What are the hours of work of these
girls?" I asked my European guide, for
want Of something better to say.
From four in the morning to six in
the evening, with a short intermission
for dinner" was the astounding reply.
And the pay?"
Five small piasters day" Chat is
12h cents).
o happy Filipinos! o complacent
Bishop! this is the cheerful prospect be-
fore you.
And what effect will the introduction
of our factory system in the Philippines
have upon our own labor market? 1t
will curse him that gives and him that
takes With the competition of boys
and girls at 12h cents a day, using
cheap coal mined at similar wages,
what will prevent wages from falling
to the same level in this country? Will
there be any other way to keep all our
manufactures from migrating to the
isles of the sea. In running the Filipinos
we shall be running ourselves.

SERVILE SHIFTS.
To Which the Republican Party Has
Been Reduced BY Mckinley.
New York Journal)

The Republican managers in the
house have confessed judgment. BY de-
Gliding to ask concurrence in all the
senate amendments to the Puerto Rico
bill they have admitted that on the
merits OF the case they are beaten.
This bill has been so transformed in
the senate that handwriting expert
at $50 a day could not recognize its
authorship. From simple tariff mea-
sure 1t has been transformed into a
complete charter Of civil government
1t bristles with disputable points. Con-
gress has not been able in 33 years to
make up its mind to deal as extensively
with the civil government Of Alaska as
this bill deals with that of Puerto Rico.
And yet the house abandoning its dig
nifty Of a coordinate branch Of the Ma
tional Legislature, is to gulp the measure
whole, without debate or opportunity
for amendment.
No such amazing abdication of the
rights of either house Of congress has
ever been known in our political history.
The construction of the frame Of
government for our new possessions Is
the most important duty that can
come before the legislators at Wash
ington. And this duty the house COM
mittee on ways and means proposes to
turn over absolutely to the senate. On
this most momentous subject the senate
is to be the sole legislative authority
of the United tates. It alone framed
the scheme Of government for Puerto
Rico. No member Of the house has had
one word to say about 1t, and no repre-
sentative, If the managers have their
way. can ever make a motion to alter
single comma in 1t.
This affect surrender Of the rights
of the house is due to the fear, or rather
the certainty, that the tariff part of the
bill could never survive another free
contest on the floor. The house must
be bound and gagged or it will reject
the Republican colonial policy. These
are shifts to which the party has been
reduced by it's determination to evade
our plain duty" In denying their
constitutional rights to the Puerto
Ricans the Republicans in the house
have been compelled to sacrifice their
own.

A RISING YOUNG CAPITALIST.
(Boston Transcript.)


The New England small boy generally
shows business capabilities at a tender
age, If he is ever going to have them.
/ have heard of a certain small Boston
boy who got in the habit Of teasing his
mother for pennies, until at last she
said to him: Now, Willie, I don't
like to give you pennies; If you want
money you should go to work and earn
it," The boy remained thoughtful for
some time. Then, within few days,
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered where
he got them, but did not question him.
But one summer day she noticed that
some sort of hullabaloo was going on
in the back yard. Looking out, she saw
Willie surrounded by a mob of boys,
who were yelling with delight. She
went down into the yard to see what
was going on; and as she passed out
she saw. stuck up on the back wall of
the house, this notice, quite neatly
printed" out with pencil:
WILLIE GREEN WILL EAT
l small green worm for ......... cent
1 large green worm, for ........ 2 cents
1 small fuzzy worm, for .......3 cents
~ large fuzzy worm, for ........ cents
7, small green toad, for ......... 25 cents"
Willie was apparently doing a thriv-
ing business. His mother interrupted
it-at any rate in his own back yard.
I don't suppose that she had any as
surance that he wasn't still carrying 1t
on somewhere else.

Captured q Bad Pair.

A tough gang Of hobos struck town
last week and after stealing some
shirts, hats, shoes, etc., from the dif-

little money to 60 with them to the
Union Pacific stock yards where they
attempted to rob him. A friend
came to his assistance and a rough
fight was pulled off in which the man
who was trying to save his friend was
struck on the head with a heavy bolt
Marshal Butcher and his assistants
