THE WORKING GIRL.
Surprised Society Women at an
Equality" Party.

Chicago's latest sensation has been
IAN equality party" organized and
conducted by Mrs. Potter Palmer.
Mrs. Palmer offered her house to
society ladies of the city in which to
hold a reception to which the young
working women should be invited In
their efforts to render themselves gra-
cious to the working girls, the society
women came arrayed in their most
quiet garments and left at home both
flowers and jewelry. Their surprise
may be readily imagined when the
working girls began to arrive in car
riages, and a laying aside of their
wraps showed that they were in full
evening costume, while they wore Jew
els worthy of Mrs. Palmer herself.
AS may be readily imagined, the
working girls became the givers of
the reception rather than the guests,
and they evinced an intelligence and
acquaintance with art and literature
which was surprising to those who
moved in the upper ten.
In the discussion which has grown
out of this "equality party" diverse
views have been expressed, but the
concensus opinion seems to be that
the working girls do not so much want
social patronage as better wages.

SIXTY GEORGIA C0LONISTS.
Conditions in the Colony Are Said to Be
VerY Bad,

A Havana dispatch says sixty colo,
nists, bound for i.aGloria, have arrived
at Nueyite on board the Yarmouth
from Brunswick, Ga. According to the
latest advices from laGloria much dis
tress exists there, especially among
those who have lost all and who must
depend upon the work they can obtain
in the districts of Puerto Principe and
NuevItas. Already requests have been
made to tie United States government
to furnish transportation for these des.
titute people. 1t is said that only 20
out of the original l 1000 still remain at
LaGIora. These figures do not include
the Yarmouth's passengers.
General Rivera, secretary of agricul>
ture, says that the titles of the colo
nists are of doubtful value, and that
many of the settlers, after Investigate
ing the claims. have abandoned them
altogether.

A VALUABLE HOG.
A Hall County Mans Experience in Pork
Raising.

KaISIng.
The GAINESVILLE Eagle quotes David
johnson, reliable farmer of Hall
county, as giving some interesting
figures respecting his experience in
polk raising. Mr.. Johnson says he
has one sow ten years old from whose
offspring he has sold 10000 pounds of
pork, and he still has eight of her
shoato to be killed and marketed.
tie has received an average of 5! cents
pound for the meat, amounting to
81, 100 in total, or $40 per year, "a sum
equal to five and one-half bales of cot
ton each year" 1T is hard to be-
Heye says the Eagle, that one hog
would be as valuable as one horse
cotton farm, and decidedly less expen-
slVe, but we quote the figures given
Us oy MIR. johnson himself, and he is
thoroughly reliable" In making the
COMPARISON, however, he must have
put the price of cotton very low.

4 ROAST FOR M'KNLEY.
HIS FRIEND, KOHLSAAT' DOho
NOT SPARE HIM.
rbicaoo's Leading Republican Pa
ner Saws Unless the Republican
Party Turns Back at Once
Defeat Is Certain.

The Chicago Times Heral1, whose
.onriotor il as close to President Me-
Kipley as any man in the country Sen
otor Hanna not excepted, prints an edl-
itorial headed "Underthe Great Wrong
70 Porto Rico" warning the president
and the republican party that defeat
awaits them in November next II
change is not made in the policy to-
wards Porto Rico. After saying that
the measure only passed the lower
house of Congress because the presl>
dent personally urged several repre-.
sentatiyes to vote for it, the editorial
proceeds: b,u,6ou
committed. How grievOus and
frangbt with what dire possibilities,
not only to the republican party but
to the country, neither congress nor
the president could have foreseen.
But they must realize now that the
tariff section in the Porto Rico bill mas
aroused a storm throughout the couh-
try that WillnOt down.
IF congress and the president per-
sis5 in their present course nothing
can save the republican party from
defeat next November
ut will surely cost them the mouse
of representatives, and it may cost
them the presidency. Worse than any
of those possibilities, 1T may involve
the election Of Bryan, with all that
that implies.
But one course is open to the re-
publican party. Let it face the sltua
alton with the only spirit that can
compel respect in the presence OF a
stupeudous aud Illuminating wrong.
Let 1t acknowledge the mistake and
make haste to regain popular conf
dence by undoing the contemplated
wrong to Porto Rico
There is no shame in retreating
from the verge of q precipice before
taking the last irretrIevable step. The
only salvation for the republican
party is through the gate that gives
free trade to Porto Rico. The country
looks to President Mckinley to rise to
the full stature Of a statesman who
dares to acknowledge a mistake and
undo wrong"
