Factory and Domestic Work.

y number Of factory girls arc en-
strike in New York. Many of them
are said to be on the verge Of starya.
ton. At best, when the girls are at
work upon full time their wages are
small. They earn barely enough to
meet their urgent wants. Meanwhile
there is heavy demand for domestic
help, for which the supply is totally
inadequate. Why do not the striking
factory girls 90 into domestic ser
vice? The wage are as good in the
home as i'll the factory, if not better,
and the work is 10 more cxacting.
Indeed, in domestic service au honest
and capable gin would find the life
easier and the temptations infinitely
fewer than in the factory.
Many girls have the idea that as
domcstics they would be "lookcd
down upon" They assume that
working in a factory or a shop, at
wages pitifully small, is more "hon-
orablc' than working as a domestic
servant in family. They have an
erroneous ideal Of the real dignity of
labor. AS matter of fact, no work
which woman can do is moe hon
orablc and more dignifed than house
keeping. Why it ever should have
been thought that attending to
machine in factory was more gen.
tcel than making parlor or bedroom
tidy is d mystery. If the pay for the
former were better, or the work light
CT, or the hours more convenient, the
preference for the factory might be
accounted for reasonably. But such
isnot the case. a domestic servant
who understands her business has no
difficulty in obtaining place where
wages arc as good Or better than those
of the factory, while the surroundings
are much more refined and less dan
gerous.
AS a domestic the careful and con-
scicntious girl rot only earns as much
or more than the factory girl, but
fits herself to make happy and pros
porous home of her own in after
years. AS servant she comes into
contact with and solves problems in
domestic economy, acquiring expe-
rience and information that will be of !
greater benefit to her when she be-
comes the mistress Of a household.
In the factory the influences are too
often vicious; in the household they
are seldom so.
Ii may De that many ladies Of the
house, who must be pleased by the
domestics, are guerulous, ill-tempered
and unreasonable. But the majority
of them are not. The average woman
at the head of household is disposed
to be reasonable, just and kind. IF
she sees the domestic making efforts
to do what is right and render salts.
Faction, she may usually be depended
upon to encourage and help she girl
in every way possible It is the pre-
judice against domestic service that
keeps girls out of it. It weuld be
better for them if that prejudice were

The Cost to CIothe a Chinaman.

1t may be interesting to note. an.
ropos of the troubles in China, how
extremely frugal the natives are in
their habits and dress. OF course
the rich Chinese wear more expensive
garments and live in manner beft.
ting their purses, but the ordinary
Chinaman, in his native land, can and
does live on as much per year as we
spend each month. The Celestial and
his wife can clothe themselves more
than comfortably FOR the small sum of
- per year. Their clothing is made
IN two pieces, from cotton. Only two
measurements are taken-one from
neck to waist and one from waist to
feet. The garments have no especial
shape, conforming to any figure. In
dcrwcar is unknown, and in Writer
the garments are padded with cotton
and once a,year they are ripped apart
and washed.
The following figures serve to illus.
tratc the great need they have for the
strlctcst economy: Common laborers
are paid from six to seven cents per
day: masons, stone cutters aud car
pcnters are paid from twenty-five to
thirty cents per day, and by day is
meant from sunrise until dark. They
waste nothing that can possibly be
put to any use. Small splinters of
wood are glued and nailed together
to form posts or boards: scraps of
paper serve as shoe soles, and even
the roots OF grass and wheat are pulled
up, cleaned and used in fires. The
beautiful straw plated work and weav-
ing that We sec brought from China
was all made by women who were paid
two cents per day for their labor-and
still strikes are never heard of and the
Chinese laborcr is, perhaps, as happy
a member Of his class as is found in
the world.
The enormous demand for cotton
makes it necessary even to import
that article into the Ylowery King
dom, although a great deal is grown
there. Unlike the United States,
there is no such thing as, the gin, all
of the cotton being; pickeS over by
hand, and the consequence is that
great amount Of labor is employed; |
whereas, if the gin were used, thous-
ands would be thrown out Of employ

Webb McNan Didn't Get Away With
the Money After All.

The state house was buzzing a few
days with the report that the firemen's
fund tax apportioned for st. Marys had
not been paid to the city and it was an
nounced that an investigation would be
made to ascertain what became of the
money.
It was intimated that Webb McNall
knew what disposition had been made
of the money and many unkind things
were said about the ex-superintendent
of insurance Among others was the
statement that the superintendent
would be called to account for this sum
So much was said that the impression
was abroad that the present adminis-
tration in the department had discover
ed something scandalous.
The promised investigation was made
but the fraud was not unearthed On
the<contrary the money was found to
have been returned to the insurance
companies.
The tax was returned to the compa-

ment because the officials of ST. Marys

Democratic Banqueters Also Approve
Division of Office Plan.

The Democratic and Populist banquet
at Hutchinson last night entertained 300
men and proved to be a political love
feast of considerable Importance.
The banqueters adopted a resolution
endorsing the plan of dividing the state
officers in accordance with the plans of
the joint committee meeting in Topeka
Saturday night. The following resolu-
ton, presented by D. D. Leahy, NJ. F.
Petition and ]. B. Fugate was adopted:
I'VE, the committee, delegated by a
conference representing the Democratic
Thought and sentiment of the Seventh
congressional district of the state of
Kansas, express our sympathy with the
greatest republic in South Africa in it's
gallant stand against the encroach-
ments of imperial power. We think that
the republic of the Transvaa1 is right
in asserting the principles of govern
ment by its own people. for its own
people and of it's own people, without
the interference of any other country
on earth, and we hereby protest against
any action on the part of our govern
ment hostile to the principles for which
the Beers are fighting, or friendly to
their enemies. The Democrats of the
Seventh congressional district believe
in a republican against an imperial
form of government, whether that gov
eminent is in America, Africa or the
orient. We assert the doctrine that all
people who aspire to be free and who
are willing to shed their blood in free
dom's cause ought to be free"

PLACE FOR DAVE LEAHY.
May Be the Fusion Nominee for Sec
rotary of State.

Since the Populists have conceded to
the Democrats several places on the
state ticket Wichita Democrats seek
one of them and ask for the nomination
of Dave Leahy for secretary of state.
No man in Kansas is better known
than Leahy. For many years he has
been in the state, not as an office-seek
er, but as a newspaper man who has
achieved fame throughout the country.
While travelling this rugged road.
Leahy has found some diversion in
writing for eastern papers and i'm these
articles his genius shone with splendor.
In the early days Leahy was Demo-
crat and he has never wavered in the
faith. When Argentine was the me-
tropolis across the Missouri river from
Kansas City Leahy served the city as
clerk. 1t was then a struggling NUM-
cipality and the development made
streets too narrow and buildings too
close to suit this scion of the Irish no
bility. He went to Wichita and has
always had plenty of room there to ex-
pand to the fullest extent.
: Popular at home. his friends now pro-
pose to display their fealty by nomi-
mating him for secretary of state.
Leahy is sufficiently inoculated with
Populism to fill the bill and will ac-
cept the place.

The witness said it was evident there
was some precOncerted action.
