OTHER REASONS.
What One Question Brought Out.
New Man for the Goverporship.

Indors ed on enc of the returned
question blanks recently sent leading
men by Congregational ministers for
obtaining their opinions on material
political questions was the following
There are other reasons why Mr..
Stanton should not be nominated for
Governor of Vermont than the more
or less venerable practice of the Re-
publican party not to nominate a lieu
tenant governor to that office, which
is as formidable barrier to his nomi-
nation as the Green Mountain ridge is
to Clements. He is a part of that
unhappy Mccullough ticket, the first
in the history of the party to run on
a license, local option or referendum
platform, and the first in fifty years
that the candidate for Governor failed
of an election by the people or was
charged with straddling the plat
form. But for men like Mr.. Stan
ton, who stand for principle when it
costs nothing to do it and desert it
when opposition comes, the time
honored policy of Vermont in regulat.
ing traffic in Intoxicating drinks
would not have been overturned and a
new one inaugurated which is a fail
ure and sore disappointment to its
friends. Stanton's nomination for
Governor would open the old sore and
the old opposition. The nomination
of new man would better unto the
party in this presidential election year
when the Republicans desire to be
united that Vermont may give her
usual large Republican majority"

WOMAN IN INDUSTRY.

Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Thompson in
the North American Review states
that, THE truth about woman in in
dustry is that she is frightful fail
ure. - That in brief sums up the
opinion expressed more at length and
supported by numerous facts, figures
statements, and arguments. She
further says, The woman wage
Garner is under one aspect an object
of charity, under another an economic
pervert, and under another social
meuace. - She goes on to explain
that on account of the marriage factor
woman is an inconstant element in
wage earning, and She works as
makeshift, pending marriage" Her
wages are fixed without regard to the
cost of living SO she tends to reduce
the price Of wages in general. This
is largely so because the majority of
women wage earners are only partly
dependent upon themselves for a
livelihood, and SO are willing to
work cheap, thereby forcing down
prices The man remains liable to
support the family even though his
wife and daughter compete with him
and force down the price of labor
She says again, Woman labor is
an economic element as abnormal as
convict labor, and it is equally as
pernicious for the reason that legiti-
mate labor is taxed for its support. "
Mrs. Thompson asks, "What are the
interests served? What has this in
dustrial revolution accomplished for
the sex? 1t has secured her com
petence averaging less than one dollar
a day. 1t has undermined her health.
1t has trained her in the work of a
machine and made her unskilled in
all the labor which supplements the
Office of wife and mother in the fam
lily. 1t has taken her out Of the
home.'
Mrs. Thompson thus throws down
the gauntlet to the NEW woman. I"
And as she does so she has to admit
that she has children cared for by a
hired nurse, while she, the mother
/ who should be with them, is obeying
the calls of the editor and the fore
man for copy" and paper going to
press. - She admits her own incon
sistency, however, and condemns her.

given, pinning him between the cars.
He was dragged nearly 100 feet before
the train could be stopped, and when
extricated it was found that he had
three fingers crushed on his left

The new and unexpected accord is
undoubtedly very satisfactory to the
parties who appear as principals. But
the statesmen and diplomats of the
other European countries stand
amazed. They must adopt new tactics
and adapt themselves to new condi-
tions. Germany especially is left to
wonder and to fear. The last of the

two greatest colonial powers of the
world are 10 stand united and inter-
pose every obstacle they can to the
eager expansiveness of Germany's
colonial policy, there is reason for
Germany to think seriously. France
is the traditional foe Of Germany and
has not recovered from the stiugs left
by the last terrible defeat. England
has become jealous of Germany's in
creased world power on the sea and
regards with displeasure the German
desire to take part in the subjugation
of Africa. The complications become
more interesting when the relations of
England to Japan and of France to
Russia are considered. Truly Eu-
ropesn diplomacy is getting decidedly
knotty.

UTILITIES OF MORMONISM.

Sheriff Abbott of Davis County,
Utah. has been before the Senate COM
mittee that is engaged in Shooting.
Mr.. Abbott managed to shed some
light. He was telling about the
wives of Apostle Taylor These ladies
are five in number. In Difference to
the law they do not assume the name
of their lord and master, but merely
the motherhood of his numerous child
rem.
One wife is known as Todd, a
second as Woolley and two more
wives are domestics in the employ of
this pair. Thus the servant-girl
question is solved in Utah. Suppos-
ing, for example, that the servant
puts too much bluing in the wash or
too much soda in the biscuit, the
mistress need not shrink from rebuk-
ing her. Mary" she can say, if
you do not do better | shall complain

without defying the Church and
putting in peril her chance of enter

wages, so the apostle is ahead OF the
game, By having promised to obey
she has deprived herself of the right
to create storm center about the
domestic hearth of which she is at

The several days fighting on and
near the Yalu seems to have been of
a really important nature. Dispatches
from st. Petersburg state that the
Russian authorities admit the loss of
about 2, 000 men, though 1T is not stat
ed whether that number covers killed,
wounded and missing. or only the
killed. Indications point to the latter
interpretation. In any case it was
something more than skirmish that
would cause such losses to one side.
The japanese being the attacking
party and advancing across the fords
under fire ought to have the heavier
losses and it is to be presumed that
they did. Undoubtedly there was
more of fight than the Russians had
planned on, for it appears they were
outnumbered and that the original in
tention was only to check the japanese
advance temporarily, retreating slow
ly before che invaders. Russian plans
seem be bound to niscarry. If they
continue to do so some day Russia will
awake to the knowledge that she is
being whipped-snd all because of
mistakes.

AGAINST REPUTATION.

The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the suit of
South Dakota VS.. North Carolina has
awakened about as much interest as
the Northern Securities decision. In
itself the case does not involve n great
sum of money, judgment being for about
$27, 600, but the questions involved
are of such nature that it is possible
that hundreds of millions may be
affected as we'll nearly as dozen
States. The suit was brought by
South Dakota to collect OF North Car
olina the amount of ten bonds of
1000 each with interest The bonds
were given in bellum days and
repudiated at about the time that
nearly all of the southern States re-
pudiated their debts, and South
Dakota had possession by virtue of
gift for charitable purposes.
Eleven States, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Vir-
gina, repudiated their debts created
before and during the war, the ag-
gregate amounting to 5000, 070, 000
Virginia leading in the amount Of the
disavowed securities with $72, 220, 900,
and Florida having the smallest with
So, $50, 000 About ITO per cent un-
paid interest would have to be added
to give the totals as they appear to-
day. Thus at first glance it would
seem that the Supreme Court had
shown that about $500, 900, 600 can be
above, matter that is of no small
moment.
But closer inspection of the case
and opinion shows several other in
teresting points In the first place it
must be remembered that private
citizen could not sue North Carolina
as did South Dakota. In this case
four Justices dissented from the
opinion of the majority and they did
40 on the ground that if the court
allows an individual to transfer his
claim against State to another
State for suit then the prohibition
contained in the Constitution against
an individual sueing State is mere
letter, without spirit and without
force. Some legal writers think that
the Judgment would have been the
same had the transfer to the State
been by sale instead OF by gift for
charity, while others think differently.
1t appears furthermore that the bonds
sued upon we're a sort of mortgage
bonds and had the State not settled
for them, the North Carolina Rail
road Company could have been levied
upon. Senator Overman of North
Carolina states that only $270, 900 of
all the bonds repudiated by the States
were similar to those involved in this
case
So the great mass of the repudisted
debt is still left in doubt as to the
possibility of its collection, though
this decision must inevitably give
some hope to the thousands who were
defrauded of their pay by the old
method Of reputation. In one or two
States there has been movement Of
late, partly due to increased prosper
ity, looking toward a Resumption of
the debt once cast aside. Perhaps
some day the consciences of the
States will be sufficiently aroused to
secure the payment of the whole sum.
