AMERICAN WIVES OF DIPLOMATS.

The leading conservative newspaper of Berlin
denounees the marriage by diplomats of American
wives saying that this tends to democratize Europe
and that such wives really political agents in
the United States. On the same day we learn by
cable dispatches that Countess Waldersee is cred
fled with the overthrow OF Bismarck; that Madame
Bakmetien, wife of the Russian envoy at Sofa, has
great influence with Prince Ferdinand anad is pro-
tectng the Americans there and that the Duchess of
Marlborough is greatly in favor at King Edwards
court that her husbands rapid advance is credited
TO her.
Many diplomats marry American wives for sew
eral good reasons. the chief Of which is that the
breadth of mind and height of standards which pre-
vail among the cultivated women Of this county are
not TO be found elsewhere
The English and the German wife are primarily
domestic; the Spanish and Italian are anectionate,
and the highclass French woman is prone to view
her husbands station merely as an aid to her own
social triumph
Only the American girl has the intelligence TO
enter into her husbands ambition and the devotion
and tact to assist it This being the case the stats
burger Zeitung must either prevail upon the Reich
stag to pass law forbdding the importation Of the
American wife or protest to the unresponsive air.
Perhaps the highest Development of wifely genius
is the surrounding Of a busy diplomatic husband

WOMEN sTENoeRAPHERs EXCLUDED.

The Northwestern Railways decision that none
of the women stenographers in its service will be
allowed to qualify for promotion be eligible for
its pension list has naturally created stir among
women workers in general and women stenographers
in particular The company explains its action on
the ground that "a woman stenographer can never
be anything else"
That certainly is not true in other lines of bust
ness however it may be in railroad service. Women
who began as stenographers in law and commercial!
houses and in the service of city. state and nation
are filling higher positions with broader and more
responsible duties, in large numbers. They become
private secretaries clerks in chsrge of correspond
ence court stenographers and librarians. Not
few of them conduct Independent businesses, with
stats of stenographers and typewriters whom they
furnish to do work on CALL and make net incomes of
$4,000 to $1,000 year.
1t is fact of current interest that while in
women are paid much less than men for the same
service, the woman stenographer is paid well
and sometimes better than stenographer. If
she is expert and has general aptitude for business
apart from her stenography she often receives from
$1,000 to $500 year; as court stenographer
one of them at least in this city is we'll known to be
paid the last-named sum. The Northwestern Rail-
ways curious ruling is belated expression of the
old prejudice against the industrial equality of WON
an, which is nevertheless almost extinct.

HE SEES BETTER TIMES.

Judge Gray chairman of the anthracite coal arbi-
tration commission, who lately settled another
coal miners dispute in Alabama, expresses himself
on the labor outlook with his optimism.
Judge Gray's experience is exceptional and peo-
pie of all sides must respect his opinions He is
convinced that arbitration is the necessary and cor
rect method of bringing employers together the
human relationship in growing industries be-
comes fainter.
1t will draw all men together he believes. in the
true spirit of American democracy He says that
the tendency of labor unions is to bring better men
to the front and that labor is passing through
gethsemane of strikes and discords."

EFFECT OF THE HOLIDAYS.

Tomorrow several OF the private schools. acade-
mics and higher institutions Of learning Will begin
their years work and week after the public schools
will open their doors to the rising generation.
Every year the course of study in the graded
schools is improved. If the same text books are
used and like subjects taught in preceding years
there is more intelligent supervision and experienced
teaching at the teachers desk.
But the year does not open with uniform desire
to learn the things taught The long vacation has
upset the discipline of school life and the children
from the first grade the high school seniors begin
an apprenticeship to regularity in attendance and
study.
The child has been free from routine for three
months or more and will take month nearly to
get down to the real campaign against sloth indif-
ference and ignorance. The parent accustomed to
the untidy and irregular habits of vacation, must
begin the fight for tidiness and promptness every
morning until regularity is again established.
By the way it is not alone among children and
in school life that this perncious effect of vacation
is observed Every factory in the land, every man
ufacturing establishment employing a more
of clerks bears testimony the fact that Monday.
the first working day Of the week, succeeding as it
does holiday, finds absent, tardy or sleepy
and Indifferent workmen than does any other day.
Tuesday September s, following two holidays, will
illustrate the point still further. If the statistics OF
all labor establishments for that day could be OBJ
tanned. they would prove conclusively that children
are not the only class upset and thrown out of
gear by holidays.
In this connection it is undoubtedly true that the
teachers themselves are not in touch with school
life and the first week is taken up in grading seat
ing and arranging In fact, it is a well regulated
school system that can be running smoothly and
iptelligently in one week.
Vacations have their and their advantages
and they are essential TO comfort and physical well
fare, but they are not calculated benefit the real
industries of life.

A HARD SAYING.

hard saying fell from the lips of the Rev. Dr.
James NJ Buckley, editor of the Methodist Chris
tan Advocate, III sermon which he delivered in
Montclair Sunday night:
There are men today who are giving their mil
lions to endow colleges anad libraries whose wealth
has been obtained in direct contradiction to the
Golden Rule and the principles taught by Christ"
OF this the New York Evening Post has to say:
Dr. Buckley is not reported as explaining just what
our colleges and schools should do when such gifts
are offered, but from the general tenor of his re-
marks as to the pressing need of applying 'the SIM
pie truths OF Christianity" he evidently takes high
ground Montclair, however, is hardly the most suit
able town in New Jersey for the delivery of such a
sermon. At Madison is Drew Theological Seminary
the training school for Methodist ministers. In view
of the fact that the institution founded by the
late Daniel Drew named in honor of that worthy
associate of Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, the people of
Madison and especially the theological students.
should be much interested in DR.. Buckey's discourse
When Madison has had It's turn, DR.. Buckley may
wish to speak at Syracuse the seat of welLknown
Methodist university. Syracuse has proited much
from the generosity of John A Archbold vicepresi
dent of the Standard Oil Company By curious
coincidence Chancellor James R. Day has lately made
public his discovery that the Standard Oil Trust is
by black as painted. If Dr. Buckley
will preach his sermon at Syracuse perhaps Dr. Day
will return the compliment by writing for the Chris
tan Advocate an article on The Standard Oil as an
Example of the Simple Truths of Christianity Applied
to Business"
