OUR DOMESTIC LABOR SYSTEM

Why do not the ladies OF Wilmington
the housekeepers-form "a soc,"ty
with the object of controlling domestic
labor?
Something of the sort ought to be
done in order that there may be some
control of and regulation in the man
ner of hiring house servants M COOKS.
1t seems to us that some good coCld
be accomplished by such a movement
if it were entered into generally by the
employers in the city Of domestic ser
wants. There is n thing certain--it
could do no harm: it could not make
conditions worse, for they are now as
bad as they can be.
Nowhere else in the world does
there exist such a loose system Of en-
ploying servants as does in the owns
and cities of the south. Negro wome1
here with characters which would bar
women any where else from securing
employment in respectable families
have no trouble whatever in securing
employment as cooks and house maids
in the best families; in fact, they are
welcomed-sought after for such
places. People will put up with negro
women as servants whose known char
acter is of such a nature that a white
woman of the same class would not be
allowed to enter their houses. No ses-
timonial of character or recommends
ton from the last employer is required,
is not thought of. A house-keeper
hiring a servant never thinks to ask
the applicant why she left her last
place. There is no thought of inquiry
into the character or efficiency of the
servant. She is hired on the spot
without knowledge of her honesty:
morality or capability. She is taken
as an experiment, and high wages are
Fundamentally for very poor work.
When you hire one of these negroes
for a week, or a month, you have no
idea whether she will come back to
her work the next day or not. The
ones who apply to you for positions
are as apt as not to have just left your
next door neighbor without a word OF
warning, and YOU lave no reason to
suppose they will not treat you in The
same way.
It strikes us that the hOuse-keeperS
of the city could by united action bring
about a better condition of affairs 1t
is worth their while. at least, to try
TO see what can be done in this matter.
Let all the matrons of the city come to
an understanding as to the manner OF
employing servants-agree that there
shall be certain requirements in the
wav of recommendation of character,
certificates of efficiency and statements
as to reasons FOR leaving former en-
ployer.
This system might cause much in
convenience at first, but it could not
be much more annoying than are pres
en- conditions and it might bring about
a much more satisfactory condition,
when put into thorough practice. There
IS one thing Ger, ain: there has got to be
q change from present conditions. The
negro labor must be controlled OIL be
s%upplanted by white labor.

SHOULD HAVE MADE 1T PALMER

In reference to what The Messenger
had to say not long ago regarding the
use Of the title Naval Records of the
War of the Rebellion" for the books
published by the navy department the
Florence Times says:
The Wilmington Messenger has re-
Gently renewed the old kick of the
south against the official designation
by this government of the late war
being 1.-The war of the rebellion The
Messenger publishes a letter from the
superintendent of the library showing
that the act providing for the publica-
ton of the official records of that war.
designating it as 1.-The war of the re-
bellion' was passed when the demo
Gratis had the president. speaker of the
house and chairman of the nav COM
mittee. This leads us to remind The
Messenger of a statement made in this
p some years e on the same
subject n commented upOn by The
MESSENGER. that a mighty good old con-
federate statesman now passed away
said he did not object to that name.
provided it be distinctly understood
what was meant: that is the fact that
the north rebelled against the cOnsti-
tuition of the United States and the
SOutH WdS W4IlDpou Ill lIyIIlS " save II.
1t might have been that this idea was
in the minds of Speaker Crisp and
other democrats when they allowed
the act to pass in its present form but
it ought to have been made plain.
The long-looked for Daily Industrial
News, of Greensboro, has made it's ap-
pearance' at last. We should have
made reference to this fact two or
three days ago, but overlooked the
matter. We hope it is not too late to
welcome it to- our exchange list. The
first issue of the paper was sent out
last Sunday. The Sunday edition
was of twenty-four pages, gotten up
in handsome style and filled with the
latest Geographic news and special ar
ticles of interesting character. Barr
ing it's politics The Industrial News is
all right and even as to it's politics we
have seen nothing yet in its editorial
columns to greatly shock or terrify the
most ardent democrat. 1t is a good
paper. What it will do in the political
line when politics warm up in the state
we do not know, but we have an idea
that it will be a clean republican pa
per.

 Tomorrow evening the last regular rehearsal of the ladies chorus, which has been chosen to sing the Shakes perean songs in "A Midsummer Nights Dream music will be held. At that time Professor Parker expects to smooth out any small roughness that may remain. Of course there will be the dress rehearsal in Woolsey hall the afternoon before the concert, when the final touches will be put upon the work. The singers have entered into the re- hearsals with great enthusiasm, and early mastered the difficult parts. There are forty-f1ve ladies in the chorus, and during the whole period of rehearsals there have been only three or four absences. On the night of the last heavy snow storm. which was un- fortunately also a rehearsal night, for ty-three out of the forty-five singers att tended. The concert, which is the third in the symphony series, is given in Woolsey hall Tuesday evening, January + at S:15 o'clock. This is the only evening concert of the series, all the rest being in the afternoon. and for this concert Professor Parker has selected one of the most interesting things in the realm of all music-Mendelssohn wonderful 1 musical setting to the Shakesperean comedy "A Midsummer Nights Dream" The play, or those sections of it directly set to music. will be read by George Riddle, the famous Shakespe- rean scholar and reader. who has been engaged for the work. With the or chestra on the platform will be seated the chorus of ladies. The solo parts of the First Fairy and Second Fairy will be taken respectively by Mrs. William E. Haesche and Miss Margaret Hogan.
 This is the first performance of the "A Midsummer Nights Dream" music in New Haven in its entirety. Parts of it have been played by the orchestra before, notably the Overture" and the ''schero." Everyone, of course. knows the Wedding March," but probably very few people in New Haven have been fortunat nough to har the music of the comedy complete. As far as the writer knows the music has never been given in Connecticut in it's entirety. Already, the people of New Haven have shown their interest and it is be- lived there will not b room enough in even the great Woolsey hall to accom- modate those who will want to hear the work. The music will take about an hour and three quarters in it's perform ance.
 Tickets go on sale at the box office in Woolsey hall Saturday morning of this week.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and ERect-
 uaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating. accom- panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, tickle ap- petite. nervousness and a general play ed out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul. taste in the mouth. coated tongue and if the in terior of the stomach could be seen it would show slimy, iniamed condi- tion.
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in treatmtnt which causes the food to be readily thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To se- cure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the cat tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harianson the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal tablet, composed of Dias- tase, Asepsic Pepsin, little Nux, Gold en Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being patent medi- cine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. R. s. Workman, Chicago, Ills, writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from 8 neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes unframed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescrib- ed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day am the happiest of men after, using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. have found, flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use."
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the saf- est preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stom- ach, biliousness, sour stomach, heart burn and bloating after meals.

THE CURSE OF THE PERMANENT
 JOB,

JOB.
 It is interesting-and possibly innpor- tant-~to note that the chief cause Of matrimonial failures is the chief cause of failure in other directions. It is what may be called the curse of the permanent job" Give a man what is, or seems to him to be, permanent job, and he begins to go to seed. Ambition dies, industry withers, skill dries up. Before it is too late, transfer him to a job where there are but two certainties that he can keep if if he does well, and that he will lose it if he doesn't. At once there is an amazing change, and the man who was degenerating into a sour, querelous failure is devel- oping into a cheerful, useful success. The husband who says: "Now I've got her," and ceases to try to please or the wife who acts in the same spirit is on the way to matrimonial disas- ter. Whether or not the marriage was. made in heaven it's got to be lived on earth. Not are the laws of human na- ture suspended for the benefit of the Saturday Evening Post.
