 Time was when there were more girls than places. Now there are more places than girls. The change is due, no ooupt' to that general prosperity which no" makes it possible for almost all artisans and mechanics, as well as for almost all unslSilled laborers, to secure satisfactory employment for when the men can worK the women naturally cease to do so'
 As soon as the father of the family finds that his earnings suffice Tor the needs of those who are dependent upon h1m his first impulse Is to withdraw his girls from the downtown store and put them to school. With the same domestic instinct. the young man who has just re- ceived a raise of few dollars week turns lightly to thoughts of marriage and pretty soon there is another girls name dropped from the department store pay roll. This tendency is natural and ineVlta- hle.
 Many women and children are work ing today because of unfortunate social and economic conditions. Their work is of sometime dubious value to the com munity, and although at present in large part necessary, there would be no harm done if 1t were brought back within mar rower limits. There is no doubt or course, that women have always worFed. The Indian squaw probably worke as hard as any factory emplye. and In the days when manufacturing as done at home the women took their ;air share or it. But all such work. it must be re- membered, was done as part or the household economy. and did not with draw the woman from family life She toiied for and with her husband and children. Factory labor is of an alto gether different kind. It takes the wom- an away from her home ties, and she is changed from a housekeeper into wage earner The change is not alto gether beneficial to the country as whole, and any reaction toward earlier conditions is not to be looked on with disfavor."

The woods were thick with underbrush and stubby timber. The enemy ad- vanced in fine order, but the thick woods greatly impeded his progress. Morton and Rice unlimbered their guns in the edge of a field, on a commanding hill, and threw shot and shell into the enemys ranks with fearful effect Meantime, the Eighth Mississippi, under Colonel Dufr; the Seventh Tennessee, Colonel Duckworth, and the Eighteenth Missis- sippi, Colonel A. H. Chalmers. led by the knightly Fucker, charged across an open field, striking the enemy's flank and driv- ing it back in confusion into the thick woods. It was a desperate encounter and nearly one hundred Mississippi boys were killed and wounded
 
 Colonel Fucker and his regimental com- manders, Col. Alex Chalmers and Colonel Duckworth, as they met the fire of rifles and artillery, inspired the men to desper- ate deeds.
 Bell, in the meantime, advanced his line and met stubborn resistance. The enemy had thrown together everything at hand logs, rails, stumps and dirt, to protect themselves. The two lines faced each other for an hour in a blaze of fire from rifles and pistols, during which time the Confederates lost many of tho bravest officers and men. Bell was forced to fall back, but his men reformed on another ridge and met the federal ad- vance with the greatest courage.
 Colonel Wisdom luckily arrived at this moment with 25O fresh men, and advanced against the enemy's Hanks. The Confed. crate line was nothing more than a skir- mish line, while the federals faced us in double ranks, displaying wider front. The federals moved forward to the at tack, but every Confederate stood his position against such large force. The federal infantry charged across a narrow field to within thirty yards of the Con- federate lines, but were forced back.

BESSEMER IS BUSY.

From the Bessemer Herald-Journal.
 There is lot of fuss being made by the citizens of Birmingham over the fact that Mayor Drennen went to Washing ton. Can it be possible that the Magic City has Mayor who cannot be trusted away from home, or Is 1t that Birming- ham wants a sensation of some kind? Bessemers Mayor went as far as Tusca- loosa County last week and we were not at all useasy but what he would find his way back, and we did not care rap what he went for. The fact of the business is, that Bessemer is so busy growing and making its suburbs get further out in the country that we have not time to wonder what any man goes to any city for.

New York, December 9.-A dispatch from Copenhagen to the London Times and the New York Times says that the economic situation in the Danish West Indies is bad, but St. Thomas has an excellent harbor which would be strate- getically and commercially valuable to the United States.

 The Democrats of the United States Senate show a proper self-respect in de- clining to recognize Senator McLaurin as member of their party. It Is not altogether easy to define what the Dem ocratic party is, so conglomerate has be- come it's membership of recent days; but it is much less difficult to under stand what it is not. and MT. McLaurin fully fills the bill here. He studies to support everything that the Republi- cans favor, and has been the most im- portunate of beggars for office at the hands of a Republican administration. The assurance with which, in the face of this, he still claims to be a Demo- crat has in it something staggering. We

It was probably not originally his in- tention to do this, but we opine that his prospects of an office under the general government are not as good as they were. The report from Washington at the opening ol the present session was to the effect that McLaurin, while being tabooed by the Democrats. was not treated with distinguished favor by his Republican associates.

Canal TreatY Should be Ratified.

OohoA tfVotV ShOutN SS 1ot'"
 No Southern Senator should oppose the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The present treaty is an obstacle to canal construction, and the South needs Nicaragua canal, and it needs it quick ly. Fifty years of agitation and delay is certainly enough but all these years will be added to if there is any strong objection to the new treaty. There should be none.
 The naturalization provisions of the new treaty are compromises, and they are simple, and there Is no room for sound objection. In order that all may see the truth we give side by side the basis of naturalization:
 Rejected Treaty New Treaty
 l. The canal shall 1. The canal shall be free and open, in be free and open to time of war as in the vessels of com time of peace, to themerce and of war of vessels of commerce all nations observing and of war of all nal these rules on terms tions, on terms of of entire equality, so entire equality so,that there shall be that there shall beIno discrimination no discriminationIagainst any such na- against any nation, tions, or its citizens or it's citizens, orIor subjects, in re- subjects, in respectlspect of the condi- of the conditions orltions or charges of charges of traffic orItraffic or otherwise. otherwise. Such conditions and
 charges shall be just
 land equitable.
 The new treaty contains provisions that are essentially and radically diff ferent from the old treaty. These changes can be seen at a glance be- low:
 Reflected Treaty. New Treaty.
 ?. The canal shall 2. The canal shall never be blockaded, ,lnever be blockaded, nor shall any rightn nor shall any right of war be exercised of war be exercised nor any act of hos nor any act of hos tiity be committed tlity be com mitted within it. within it. The Unit '. No fortificationsled States, however. shall be erected com-lshall be at liberty to manding the canallmaintain, such mili- or the waters adja-I Itary police along the cent. The Unitedlcanal as may be nec- States however, ,lessary to protect 1t shall be at libertyagainst lawlessness to maintain such and disorder. military police along
 the canal as may be
 necessary to protect
 1t against lawless-
 ness and disorder.
 The omitted lines are as significant as the new lines inserted in the new treaty are. A fair and reasonable con- struction of the treaty gives this gov ernment the right to fortify the canal, else why was the provision in the old treaty left out? In the absence of pro- hibition thls country would naturally have the right to render secure its property.
 England alone is concerned in this treaty, and as England consents to the I dropping of prohibition as to fortitica- tions, it is fair to infer that the United States would use the canal against England in case of war with that coun- try as it would use the Mississippi river.
 The treaty as it stands is the best bargain that an be obtained. England land has acted generously in giving up her rights undr the Clayton -Bulwer l treaty, and it is to be hoped that her generosity will be met by ratifica- tion of the pending treaty before ad- | iournment for the Christmas recess.
