OF COERSR.

Some prejudiced people say that wo-
men can't reason and can't even reach
g. conclusion in a straight way. To
their shame be it said, those who thus
chatter are men, and mostly married
men too. Some attention has been paid
to the talk of these married men by
those who have supposed that because
a man was married his experience
would qualify him to be Judge of the
reasoning power Of woman. How far
wrong these hasty jumpers at a conclu-
sion have been is sharply illustrated by
what has happened in Chicago. There
is club of women in Chicago at whose
meetings grave questions are discussed
and gravely decided. One of the ques-
tons which came up before the club
was, What men make the best hus-
bands? The women Of the club didn't
assume that they knew without study,
and they proceeded to study. They in
vited a Turk, Japanese and a China
man to attend one of their club sessions
and enlighten them. The Turk freely
admitted that the husbands of his ma
ton were undisputed autocrats in the
domestic precincts. The man from
Japan told them that the mother-in law
was a ruling power where he came
from, and the Chinaman explained that
Chinese wives must be obedient to both
husband and mother-in-law.
Of course after this there was but one
thing to do. and that was to decide that,
after all, the United States man makes
pretty good husband for the United
States woman. This was done, and
thus were many United States men
shamed and their diminished heads
heaped with Goals of fire.

"oh. mother most dear, what wild noise do
Oh, haste-I am deadly afraid!
For it sounds like the yell of a howitzer
And the charge Of mounted brigade,
Or the curses that swell from the demons in
As their victims are roasted and flayed.'
Peace, child: tbs the tread In the fiat over
And the voice of the new Irish maid"
"oh. mother. the wall-see, 1t threatens to
fall!
1t shakes like the leaf ere It's shed.
And the fioors-how they sway! Ills the
wrath Of Pelea--
A blast from the Isle Of the Dead!
It's the great Judgment Day-so, be near
me, pray,
Peace, child; they but move In the fiat up
And let down their new folding bed"
"oh, motherl that wall, like a ghost in the
gale
"A ghost that is famished and blind
How 1t keens and It cries! How it shivers
and dies
And gables and shrieks in the wind!
IT'S the banshee that cries, and fear my
demise-'
But the mother had leaped like a hind,
For that janitor's call to the tube in the
hall
1t behooved her most humbly to mind.

been the case since the enfranchisement
of the negro, although last year there
was but one colored member. AS the

and absolutely the negroes have been
eliminated from the Political affairs of

BATTLE is ON.
Continued from page ~

More than a dozen meetings were
scheduled to be held at various places
about the city, but they did not furnish
all of the business. BY far greater ac-
tivity was required in taking care of
the different places of organization.
The Greeks especially, who last week
were averse to joining the union, now
are hocking to Headquarters faster
than they can be accommodated. They
will have a separate Organization, as
will also the Portuguese help.
Besides these classes of EMPLOYEES
many others FASTENED to join the union,
Monday They made no secret Of tn cir
motive. AS union members they will
be entitled to share in the strike con-
tributions. Out side of the organiZa-
lions they would be entitled to no such
assistance. The union leaders predict
that before the end of the week large
majority of all the idle operatives viii
be organized.
There is great satisfaction over the
attitude of the Greeks. Four years
ago when there was a labor contro-
versy here they filled places vacated
by union men. Now they are union
members themselves and will act with
the other operatives.

New Bedford, Mass, March 3d.
There was a conference, today, here of
representatives of the yarn mill en-

ODonnell and James Tansey of Fall
River, and Samuel Ross, William Hall,
Thomas Redings and John Waldron of
this city.
1t was proposed to form some definite

ferred until after the convention of Ma
tional Mule Spinners, which will be
held in Toston, April Z. Then the va
rious bodies will act on what the body
recommends and if 1t be strike, the
battle will begin on the week begin
ming, April 90.
At the conference of labor men all

San Francisco March 30.-The bet

along, is on the long end of the argu-

This morning, he did no work worth
mentioning. He spent most of the time
lying around his quarters, chatting
with his trainers and guests. The
monotony was frequently relieved by
the receipt of letters and kilograms
from Eastern friends. He took a little
recreation road work, this afternoon.
The claim is made for Corbett that
he has at last reached the limit of 121
pounds. He had hard day, yesterday,

Hall, Vice President Merrill and Dr.
rectors Miller and Thayer. 1t was with
the men as their adviser. We went
thoroughly over the whole question Of

pertaining to the road men and the
yard men. On all the questions except
that of wages we have about come to
definite understanding. Our request
for increased compensation has not

tomorrow, they will see that the wages
requested by the employees are equita-
