claims to divinity had rendered it all
 the more necessary for non-social Dem
 ocratic workmen to combine. The work ing classes were constantly reminded of their duties by the State and their em-
 ployers; if they wished to establish their rights they must act for them
 selves. es they could hope for nothing from the agitation of Social Democracy.
 The subjects for discussion were. first,
 the German workmen's rights of coali- ton; secondly, the legal liability of labor associations; and. thirdly, the es- tablishment of chambers of labor. Res olutions were adopted that 'the organi- zation of wage-earners is the only ef- fective and therefore supremely irnper- alive means of obtaining an equitable regulation Of the conditions of wages and labor upon basis of free contract. " In this conviction the congress invites all unorganized German workmen to join those industrial organizations which do not encourage enmity between the classes. The importance of the con- gress is thought to consist in the proof it affords that so many workmen sym pathize with the objects, if not with the methods, of the Radicals and Socialists.

BRIEF IND POINTED.

The Presidents message to congress has the great and unusual merit of brevity. But brief as it is it adequate ly gives the reasons why the reciprocity treaty with Cuba should be made. For instance, the President says: I deem such legislation demanded, not only by our interest but by our honor. We can not with propriety abandon the course upon which We have so wisely embark ed. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the Congress of the United States, this government thereby defi- nitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island be- came free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of international pol icy, and it necessarily followed that she must also, to certain degreee, become included within the lines of our eco- homie policy.
 That's about the size of it. Having started in to help little Cuby' we must persist and not be selfish.

Man is in fair way to get what he is entitled to. Woman is perceiving him, and when she has him thoroughly perceived she will do with him as she listeth. The latest indication of what is coming has cropped out in Kansas City, where Mrs. Rollin M. Winch has just made some remarks which ought to have been made and followed up with action. long ago. Many of the men of this country have succeeded in reducing their hours of work to eight or less, and now, that they have so
 much leisure Mrs. Winch proposes to set them to frying the beefsteak, wash ing the dishes, nursing the babies and patching their own brooches. Mrs. Winch told the Women's Auxiliary of the Manufacturers Association that she did not think it was any more a woman's duty to spend her time over a dishpan, or in scrubbing and sweep ing, than it was a mans. She wants boys taught to help their mothers and wives. Then, when the family circle is formed around the evening lamp, the males of the household, instead of sticking their noses into their news papers, will take up their alarming or sewing and make themselves useful.
 Right is Mrs. Winch, now and for evermore. Of course men ought to help about the housework, and they would if they were not so mean and selfish They have no right to rest while woman works. The savages do that
 and it is. time good United States men got out of, the savage condition. Mrs. Winch will do good work if she starts movement to pull or drive them out.
