THE FACTORY GIRL.

How She Tolls and Fixes out an EX~
 istence on $2.5O a Week.
 I was left an orphan two years ago. engaged in an east side factory for $2.5O week because was upskilled, but I am still working at the same
 wages. get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. There is no heat in the house where board. There are other girls
 in the house, and each one of US has some part of the work to do.
 When go to the kitchen, scrub the floor. Then I run back to my room,
 put on my other dress, comb my hair,
 run back and get breakfast and then
 walk to the factory. The boarding
 house is near the factory, and I save 10 cents day in car fare. I am at the factory by ' o'clock. I am tired when
 begin, but not think of iittessaf1y
 more than I can help.
 At the noon hour go to dinner.
 Factory girls do not have luncheon.
 When go to dinner I also help wait
 upon others and do few chores. after
 which hurry back to the factory. It is hurry, hurry, hurry.
 At 6 o'clock the days work at the factory is over and, weary enough, I go back to the boarding house. After supper the dishes are to wash and put away, and some work is done to make ready for breakfast.
 One morning in the week I get up before 5 o'clock and do my laundry before breakfast, for a factory girl who works for $250 a week must wash and iron her own clothes. There is just one thing in this which helps to tighten the burden-a factory girl does not have many clothes. so the washing is light. I do my ironing in the evening after supper. I do my patching whenever I can. When Sum- day comes I am almost too tired to go
 to church. wonder why some kind
 hearted church people do not send us
 preacher to the boarding house once
 a month and some music.
 I have never been to a theater but once in four years. I have but one dress in which to appear when I go out on Sunday for walk. have had 1t four years. A factory girls dress costs about 4 cents a yard, her stock ings 10 cents, her shoes 90 cents or  less. have no gloves but a pair of mittens. Whateverswe wear is out of style. That is why we wear bargains. Everything factory girl wears comes from bargain counter. 1t took me
 nearly six months to save up $3, with which l have got jacket. My hat
 cost 15 cents. and have another which wear on Sunday. It cost me $1. have about 60 cents a week on which to dress myself after I have paid for actual necessities.
 The room where I sleep, sew and
 sometimes read has several beds in it. Two of us sleep in one bed. In an- other there are three.
 Do 1 ever think of having a home
 for myself? Sometimes the thought
 comes to me. but put it away. What
 chance is there for a factory girl ever
 to get a home?-Annie Smith in New York World.

between the parties. But the case of which we would summon especial evidence is that of Chicago; and here Is little of what The Public of that city has to say on the situation:-
 The man the Republicans nomi
 mated is a ring politician and corpo- ration tool. If elected he will do all he can to serve the interests of spec ial privilege. But so will Harrison. The only difference between them in this respect is that Harrison cooes gently to anti-monopoly sentiment and Hanecy does not. The monopo- lists care little which wins. They have stacked the cards so that the game is theirs either way. * x On the score, however, of purifying the Democratic party of Chicago there is something to choose. It Is a negative choice, but none the less important on that account. So long as the ring that circles about Harris on remains in control of city hall patronage, so long will the Demo cratic party of the city, and measure a. bly also of the state and nation, be at the mercy of that ring. To it political principles are nothing. It works with the Republican machine of Cook county, trading, county tickets for city tickets, and bartering Presidency for places in the city hall. If any one refuses to believe that this ring threw" the Presidency last fall, Jet him compare the dead ness of the campaign 1t then made for Bryan with the very lively cam paign it is now making for Harrison. Let him also notice Harrison pop ularity among certain kinds of Re publicans. That Harrison will be reelected Is more than likely. Should he be, 1t will be part of the price of the Republican machine paid last fall for Bryan's defeat in Chicago. Nothing could be worse for the Democratic party, nor for good local government. either, than the con tinuance of such a man as mayor in office and of such ring in control of the party. While that condition re- mains, the ring dominates Democratic primaries, dickers with Republican bosses, serves privileged corporations, and altogether demoralizes the party and the community. There can be no true democratic party in Chicago while the Democratic ring is in pos session of city affairs. The first necessary step Is to put 1t out, and it Is not very important who does that. The city can better endure two years of bad government under Hanecy, with the prospects of seeing at the end of that time campaign of prin- ciple, than two years bad govern ment under Harrison, with no pros poets at all except of his using his power of patronage to wiring democ racy out of the Democratic party. 4ts. There you have 1t, showing that one side may have seemingly good case till the other side Is heard from.
 While knowing nothing of what was said by MT. Bryan in the article referred to, still every honest Demo- crat must believe that there can be no hope for the success of true demo cratic principles in the nation So long as these unprincip1ed men are permitted to control the Democratic party machinery, and that the first thing to be done is to make them
 mindful of the fact that they are not
 to succeed by their crookedness,
 but that honesty here as elsewhere
 is the best policy.

How to Avoid chapped Hands.

It is claimed that no one need suffer from chapping of the hands if care is taken to rinse them in running water after washing with soap. When run ming water is not available, the basin of still water should be absolutely fresh and clean for the rinsing, as it is the alkah Of the soap remaining in the water that causes the trouble. Only the purest soap should be used.

general received from Spain were less
York syndicate, and the contracts were
therefore awarded to the Spanish yes
sells. That was the turning point in
the assault against the general, be-
cause he would not toady to the com-
panies represented in New York and
show them special fayors. The press
directed its venomous attacks at me
because l defended Gen. Alger.
Il use this as an illustration to show
how powerful is the influence of those
who have resolved on the policy of rule
or ruin. This has been my experience
while holding the office OF Governor.
Every large interest that l have antag-
onized during my fight for equal taxa
ton has been arrayed against me, and
the allies of those interests, the news
papers of the State, have lost no oppor-
tunity to attempt to draw the minds
of the people from the real issue by
making personal attacks on me and
publishing malignant and wilful libels
and to belittle my efforts and bring
me into disrepute in order that the
present system or unjust, inequitable
and iniquitous laws might still remain
in force, to the detriment of the great
masses of the laboring classes and
farmers and those of small properties
who are unable to speak and act for
themselves.
Il make the prediction that, unless
those in charge and in whose hands
legislation is imposed, do not change
the present system of inequality, in
less than a quarter of a century there
will be a bloody revolution in this
great country of ours"

For twenty-five years the people
have been fighting monopoly, and
especially during the last national
campaign it was one OF the lead
ing issues, and yet all this time
has monopoly increased. and since
the November election trusts have
been formed more rapidly and
more extensively than ever before.
The lesson to be drawn is that
something beside talking against
monopoly must be tried. Some
thing better than private monop-
oily must be substituted.
