LAUNDRY MACHINERY.
Three Hundred Kinds of Washing
COntriyances Are Now on
the Market.

"Some idea of the variety in which
laundry machinery is now made" said
a New York dealer, according to the
Sum- |'may be gained from the fact that
in one catalogue of such appliances
there are to be found about 800 num-
bers. One maker produces washing
machines in 80 varieties. These in
clude machines of different sizes, ma
terials and weights, adapted to all
manner of uses.
"Of ironing machines there are now
adays many, including machines spe-
cially designed for ironing particular
parts, as bands, collars and so on; and
then there are mangles in great va
riety, some of them big machines
weighing many tons, made for the
ironing of fat goods only, as table
cloths, napkins, sheets, towels and SO
on. There is more or less hand laun-
dry work in one branch or another, but
there is now no work done in laundries
for which machines cannot be had.
Cali this great variety of modern laun-
dry machinery may be found in actual
operation in and about New York, in
one establishment or another. 1t
would be possible, of course, to show
| it all in operation in showrooms, but
| it can be shown to better advantage
and more satisfactorily in every way
| in actual work.

ONE STEP FURTHER

The order establishing civil government

on and after July 4 Judge Taft. chair
man Of the Philippine Commission, will
be the Governor of the islands. The war
is ended, all of the leaders of the in
surrection having surrendered There is
no doubt that the change Which has taken
place in the islands will be a good thing
for the Filipinos. but what will be the
effect of a colonial attachment on this
government? That is question in which
the American people are profoundly con-
cerned.
1t may be that no harm will come to
the republic from exercising the right OF
government over country containing
s,OOO, 900 or more people who are under
its flag, but not under its constitution.
The Filipinos are already beginning to
understand that American rule is far bet

MuNICIPAL RoTTENNEss.

According TO the Philadelphia Reeocd,
the body polite of that city has been
kicked, cuffed and robbed until II is be-
ginning to show signs of animation-even
Of resentment. The act OF the office-hold-
ing malefactors that has aroused the peo-
pie to protest against rule from which
the city has long suffered. was the giving
away OF franchises by the City Councils
worth millions Of dollars
In our dispatches a few days ago II
was stated that Mr.. John wauamaker
told the Mayor of the city. before he
signed the ordinances giving away these
franchises. that he would give 100000
for them. and his offer was not even no
ticed by that Official In our dispatches
yesterday It was stated that Mr.. wanna
maker had made another offer. namely. TO
pay the men who secured these fran
chises the magnificent sum Of $4,000 for
them. and. in addition, TO give the city
s.. 10000 81 cash. lie also agreed that on
any street railroads built by authority Of

night. At that time there will be hot
shot thrown into the ranks of the city
officials who have been guilty OF giving
away millions Of dollars to gangs Of poll
ticians. OF course, 1t cannot be said that
they share in the spoils, but no doubt
the belief is quite general that there is
a division of the rake OFF,
1t is doubtful If there is another city
in the country as badly governed as
Philadelphia. It is the practice to hold
up the Tammany government of New
York as an example of rottenness, but
Tammany is far from being as bold as
the organization of Republicans which has
its grip on the city of 'Brotherly Love"
And there does not seem to be any doubt
that those who pose as the leaders of
the Democratic party in that city are in
close fellowship with the dominant party.
Therefore. the people have absolutely no
protection.
And it is getting to be pretty nearly
the same way in most of the cities of
the country. Protecting the interests of
the public is the last thing thought of
by those in power. The aim is to rob
the people of about everything that can
be purloined.
It is gratifying to see that in Philadel-
phia a long suffering public has finally
determined to see If something cannot be
done to protect the interests of the .peo-
pie. The Mayor and Councils that so
recklessly gave away franchises worth
millions of dollars will be called to ac-
count. What steps will be taken to deal
with them as they deserve is not, of
course, known at this time, but it would
not be surprising If the measures adopt
ed should be harsh

President McKineys own feeling about
te awarding of this degree (by Harvard)
must be very much like that of certain
eminent bishop of whom we heard not
long ago, says the Bookman A promi-
nent university had invited this distin-
guished ecclesiastic to be present at its
commencement exercises and to deliver
an address. After he had signifed his
acceptance of the invitation the univers-
ity authorities thought that it would be a
very graceful act on their part to show
their appreciation Of his presence by con-
ferring upon him an honorary degree;
and SO, in order to arrange the matter
in proper form, they delegated one of
their number to visit the bishop and
notify him of their intentions. 1870.
The person selected for this mission was
a calIow young professor who had not
long occupied his chair, and who still
regarded his university as representing
pretty nearly all the world that counts
and portion OF the rest of the universe,
besides. He was immensely impressed
with the Importance of this mission and
with the general tremendousness of +he
honor which he was going to announce.
Reaching the city where the bishop lived
he went to the episcopal residence, and,
after sending in his card, was ushered
into the bishops study. With bated
breath and many circumloculations, lest
the bishop should be too much overcome
II the news were sprung upon him with
out a certain amount of preparation. he
delivered the message with which he had
been charged
Il have also to inform you." he added,
that the university will consult your
preference in the matter OF the degree
and will confer upon you the one that
you would most desire to have"
: "Ohr' said the bishop. Let me see,
What particular degree did they have in
mind?'
''Of course, the very highest-one which
belongs to the doctorate: LII. D., D. D.,
S. T. D., or D. c. L."
We'll" said the bishop, looking out Of
the window and then at his watch. Sup
pose you make it D. c. L. think l
have fewer of those than of the other
kinds"
1t took the callow young professor a
long time to recover from the shock; but
when he came to think it over it prop
ably taught him something he had never
known before.

THE UNION IN THE KITCHEN.

While the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon and other
theorists are evolving beautiful schemes,
in books, for the amedoration of the con-
dition of servant girls those Of Chicago
are taking steps to do something prac-
IDEAL for themselves, They are going to
form a union, a hard-and-fast labor un-
lon with iron clad rules, walking dele
gates and all of the other adJuncts of the
up-to-date organization OF the kind. 1t
is estimated that there are upwards of
5000 servant girls in Chicago, each and
every one of whom is willing and anx-
ious to become member OF the new or
der and abide by its demands. And a
whole string of demands has already been
formulated. First on the list is an eight
hour day, and price-and-a-half for all
over time. Then the girls want two aft
'ernoons a week for themselves. If they
can't get two they'll take one, as com
promise. They want all holidays, and IL
they are required to work on holidays
they will expect double pay. A definite
understanding with respect 10 work to
be done will be required. No cook will

be trouble.
Chicago householders are looking with
apprehension upon the coming OF the
Servant Girls Union. They fear the
consequences II 2erchanee they should
get union maid up stairs and non
union cook in the kitchen. The union
maid would. OF course, demand that the
union label be attached to all pies. pastry
and roasts. and II it did not show up
she might refuse to make the beds or
dust the bric-a-broc until she had been
provided with union-eooked food. She
might also be expected to object to
spreading the beds with sheets hemmed
by non-union seamstresses and iaundered
by non-unlon washerwomen. And the
cook. II she were Of the union, would
have Il IN her power to cause inconyen-
lence. II would be her duty as consist

Once upon time it was the belief that
Improvements in Savannah were neces-
sarily restricted to, the line of Bull
street. That old and erroneous idea has
been exploded. Bull street, to be sure is
still the backbone of the city. but 1t no
longer monopolizes the best of the i'm
provements. Other streets and sections
are getting their share Big buildings
are going up elsewhere. and values of
real estate are approaching all over the
CITY, While development on the old lines,
that is to the southwark, still continues,
the city is also buT'irg up to the east
and west The projected Union Depot on
West Broad street. which will occupy
one-half of what was formerly called
Robertsville has created an active de-
mand for property in that neighpornood,
and there is steadily increasing tendency
to erect new and better houses in that
section, and to repair and refurbish old
ones. The fun effect OF the building of
the Union Depot will not be realized I'M
til that immense structure has been COM
pleted 1t is a drawing card. and the
benefits from it win be felt for a long
time. West Broad street, one of the Wild
est and most promising streets of the
city, has developed strong drift towards
commercialism. 1t is rapidly becoming
street of stores, and is doing thriving
business. Within the decade. it is safe to
say, it win become one of the leading
thoroughfares of the city.
On the east eide are the popular suburb
of Collinsville, and the semi-suburban
neighborhood known as The Meadows.
These, with the development of Thirty
ninth street. east, are prominent features
in the improvements on the eastern edge
Of the city. A favor1te investment for
homes is the lots on or near the western
edge of the right-of-way of the Plant
System, south Of Thirty-sixth street,
east, where a decade ago no one would
buy lot Now such property IS consider
ed among the most valuable in the mar
ket.
In every part OF the city vacant lots
are becoming scarce. The failure of the
city authorities to open. streets running
north and south beyond F'orty-second
street will necessarily retard improve
ments. II it does not stop them in that
direction. However, there is plenty OF
room for expansion in directions other
than southwark. and. as has been stated,
such expansion is going on steadily, es-
pecialy from jefferson street eastward
to the Waters Road and north Of Forty
second street. The city is encouraging
development by opening streets in the
eastern suburbs.

NO srMpArnY wrrH roruLrsM.

We infer from an interview which APP
peared in the Washington Post on Friday
that Senator Clay has no sympathy with
Populism as it cropped out at the meet
ing in Kansas City the other day OF the
leaders of the movement to insugurate a
new party. The talk which Senator Clay
had with the Post was rather long one,
but full OF interest He is supposed to
understand Democratic sentiment in the
South and to have fair knowledge OF
it as it exists in the North.
He pointed out that the Kansas City
movement was towards Populism. In
his opinion, he said, the Democratic par
ty should get further away from Popu-
lism instead closer to It. He took the
position that the Democratic party, in
order to win in the next national cleo
ton, must carry New York. New Jersey.
Connecticut and Indiana. In order to
get a majority in these states or any one
Of them. the Democratic party must
shape it's policies so as to meet the IN
terests and demands of the business eIe-
ment Of the entire country. The Senator
does not believe in sacrificing any prin-
ciple of the party, and he does not think
it will be necessary to make any sacri-
fees in that direction in order to win
the confidence and support of a majority
of the people. The Democratic party has
never been against the business welfare
Of the country. The Republican party
tried to make it appear that 1t was in
the last presidential campaign and may
have succeeded to some extent. but, as
matter of fact. It desires to promote pros
perity whenever and wherever 1t can.
No doubt Senator Clay has come to the
conclusion that an alliance between Dem
ocrats and Populists is not a good thing
for the Democratic party. The Populists
are not satisfied unless all of their. de-
mands are granted. They do not care
anything for the Democratic party but
would like to use it to advance their own
party beliefs. 1t is evident they can ac-
complish nothing except with the assist
anoe of the Democrats. Notwithstanding
that fact, however they insist upon hav-
ing their principles in the platform when
ever tnere Is a fusion OF democrats ana
Populists.
Senator Clay does not say that he is
against any alliance between Democrats
and Populists, but what he does say
seems to justify the inference that he
believes the Democratic party would be
better off, and would stand much bet
ter chance of getting control of the gov
erument il it should have nothing what
ever to do with the Populists. If that
is his position there are many who agree
with him, 1t is better that the two fac
tons of the Democratic party should get
together than that they should remain
apart, the greater having an alliance
with the Populist party.

chartered a cab, which unfortunately was
drawn by a very wretched horse, says
London Answers. Having told cabby that
she had to reach the station in twenty
minutes, away the vehicle dashed at five
miles an hour.
They had barely got fifty yards, how
ever, before the lady put her head out
of the window and requested the driver
to whip the horse, as she would otherwise
miss the train. He accordingly did so.
A little further on, she asked him to adj

Maybe 1t was Truthful.

queer things happen in the composing
room, and they sometimes creep into the
big daiiies of the country" said an old
printer who has tramped over the coun-
try with his card, according to the New
Orleans Times Democrat, and among one
of the most amusing incidents l recall
among many that are very curious hap
pened to a big Eastern daily which prides
itself on being straitlaced and free from
anything that is at all suggestive. There
was a big spread on a story that had
been cabled from foreign country over
the birth of a royal heir, and many of
the little details were gone into. Really
1t was q very interesting account of
very interesting happening, and the story
was so deiicately told that il was almost
a classic.
There was another story which had been
sent up in sections in the crush of the
night, and at the end of each part sent
to the foreman and copy reader there was
the usual More to come a convenient
expression which has been adopted by the
profession, and the words are generally
put in type by the compositor for the
guidance of the makeup man. The
words are, of course, dropped by the man
who arranges the matter in the forms.
But the makeup was behind for some
reason, probably on account of heavy
run, and on this occasion he got mixed
in some way and failed to pull the words
out at least in one instance, and they
found their way into the forms and lodg-
ed in the unhappiest place in the paper
The managing editor was astounded
when he glanced over the paper to find,
right under the cablegram which told the
story of the coming ofthe royal heir, the
words More to come But the words
were there in cold type and there was no
way of remsdying tn eTnatter. The make
up man never lost his job, but the ex-
preston is a sore spot with him up to
