THE WORkINGWOMAN.
A suggestieo That the Government Inves-
tgasion 10 Extended 20 the Home.

To TBB EDITOR or The SuN-Sir: A little
sceptlcism would seem to be allowable In the
case OF the sudden interest In the working
woman a. manifested by the forthcomi q
Government examination into the conditions
under which she tolls.
By far the greater part Of the women OF this
country are still working In the home. but
nothing has as yet been heard OF an Official
Investigation OF the surroundings OF these
iaborers. Are any OF them dying young Of
overwork and the care of too many little ones?
Any OF them undergoing fatty degeneration
OF the mind and body because they do not
work at all? Any OF them living In poorly
ventilated and lighted tenements, or In the
nauseous atmosphere surrounding the big
packing plant? II SO. what Is the effect OF
all these ills upon the coming generation2
we may ask.
10 the screaming OF an irritable child less
nerve distracting than the harshest noises
in the factory2 IL IL more heaithful to stand
behind the ironing board in August than
behind the counter Of the fairly cool depart
ment store2 Physicians tell us that the
woman In the home 10 very liable to diseases
OF the nerves. This seems to indicate that
domestic conditions are not yet ideal. By
all means let US have q few statistics rela-
tive to tho environment. hours Of labor. &C..
Of those engaged In home industry: other wise
We may incline to think that all this particu-
Isr interest is aroused because the woman
In the store or factory receives a nnsnci al
recompense for her toll and thus inadequate

Nor have satisfactory reasons vet been
shown why the hours OF work for women
shall be given special regulation by the State.
A man whose physical strength is somewhat
less than that Of his fellow workers Is not
in any wise protected on that account: and
II women should prove physically too weak
to engage in certain lines OF industry the con-
clusion seems to be that they should not
endeavor to remain In them. Several hum
dred women, however. are At the present time
successfully engaged in blacksmithing in
these United States; and the peasant woman

begin to realize the limitations Of their seI.

In the Imperial Dialect.

The charming young woman In whose
honor the latest German ocean flier was
named Kronprinzessin Cecilie flashed
through ethereal telegraphy a pleasant
message to her namesake steamer on her
maiden voyage wishing success and
pleasure
Now read the prompt and courtly re-
sponse which Cecilie afloat put the ether
in commotion to send to CEcrLIE ashore:
win your Imperial Highness xrsciousiy allow
me most devotedly and Loyalty to return to you my
hearty thanks for the cordially good wishes you
have expressed at the departure her nrst voyage
of the beautiful ship which you have honored by
the bestowal Of your name"
That is not adulation, not at all such
fattery of speech as classed the rulers
OF the old Roman empire, to which tho
lady is in some sort a successor, as clear
ones. illustrious ones, noble ones, trans
parent ones, and authorized the puny and
ultimate RoMULUs AUGUsTULUs to re-
mark upon My Eternity" Such an in
depreciation does injustice to o people OF
sense and stout moral fibre. Our Ger
iildu COubtlkb al . ho hhohC ouPItC 0t bhO
knee than are we. Such language comes
natural to every German when he so
much as thinks about the Black Eagle
throne It is a dialect.
II is not even singular In philology as
a dialect. The same principle Of honor
to princes and potentates is found In its
fullest development in Java, where It
amounts to a real language. Among
themselves the Javanese use q speech
known as Bhasa ngoko. The moment a
prince appears upon the scene to hear
the spoken words, even il the discourse
be concerning a prince though absent,
good Javanese switch over to the Bhasa
krama, a speech Of wholly distinct
vocabulary, somewhat turgid in its
imagery, maybe, yet altogether intended
to do honor to the high and mighty.
So with this German message, il one
but look upon it as couched in an imperial
dialect it loses such element Of absurdity
as to those not familiar with it's Javanese
prototype it might seem to be charged

The Resentment or a Winner.

II there was ever a pocket Congress
district il is the Eighth Mississippi, where
opposition never raises its insolent head
to the return Of JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS,
who as the graduate Of five universities
AT home and abroad is the most cultured
citizen of the Tadpole State. Mr.. WILL
IAMs never used to sit up election nights
to receive the returns. No private wire
was run into his house. There were no
returns for anybody else. Ii is the habit
of being the whole thing which must
account for the address he has issued to
the people Of Mississippi explaining how
VARDAMAN ran him such . close race
In the Senate primaries.
Governor VARDAMAN is charged by
the incensed WILLIAMS with the crime
of accepting Populist votes. No one has
taken the trouble to analyze the support
Of JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS at the biennial
Congress election, but it is conceivable
that Populists vote for him without pro-
voking his resentment. However that
may be. he is sure that he received
no votes from Populists in the Senate
primaries; they all went to VARDAMAN
Mr.. WILLIAMS tells the people Of Mis-
sissippi that when he took the field as
a candidate he assumed that his rival
was a Democrat. But he was cruelty
undeceived and grossly disillusionized.
Never was he more humilisted in his life
than when he learned that the Populists
were focking to VARDAMAN. Even Tom
WATSON indorsed him. Mr.. WILLIAMS
felt the stain on Democracy like wound.
It was perfidious, monstrous, unspeak-
able. He was almost beaten. He says:
MY competitor received the 1900 or 20 900 Pop
ulist votes OF this State almost They took
their marching orders from THOMAS wArsoS.-
From Horn Lake to Moss Point the
country rings with the lamentations and
accusing cries of the almost betrayed
WILLIAMS. IL must be admitted that
his concern for the Democratic party in
Mississippi is not groundless--if his fig
ures are right. But are they? In 1904
the conspirator WATSON, running as the
Populist candidate for President, at
tracted only ,425 voters to his cause in
Mississippi. He must be a wizard TO
raise this beggarly rout TO 5000 or 2O, 900
and give them marching orders to rally
to the cause of vARDAMAN'
The cerebral excitement from which
Mr.. WILLIAMS is suffering had its source
and rise in the natural chagrin of a man
who expected to run like Eclipse In the
Senate primaries and found himself al
most headed in the homestretch by a
dark horse.

Music and tho Drama.

The light and agreeable form Of enter
tainment not quite accurately called
comic opera has been through some
interesting changes since JAMES c. DUFF
brought H. NJ. S. Pinafore' to this coun-
try nearly thirty years ago. Previous
to that time French opera bouffe and
German operetta, both with the texts in
the original, gratified the small public
appetite for this kind of performance.
But with the disclosure of W. 8. GILBERT's
new vein of humor and his highly polished
English dialogue and lyrics began the
popularity Of comic opera in the Ian
guage Of this country.
Even after the advent Of the Gilbert
Sullivan product comic opera was chiefly
drawn from French and German sources,
and the names Of AUDRAN, LECoCQ,
PLANoUErTE, SUPPE, DELLINoER and
STRAUSS were printed often in the show
type Of the theatrical posters. Then
came the period Of the so-called farce
comedy" in Which literary clewerness,
consistent fooling and artistic no mans
land gave way to horseplay, nonsense
and the humor OF the street.
From this emerged a species OF comic
sopera which was a hybrid and q very
poor one at that, and form Of enter
tainment capable OF an appeal to the
most cultured taste became the pastime
of those who seek the theatre in search
of momentary occupation for idle minds.
And now a new form has arrived.
This consists OF a sentimental tale OF
the Laura Jean Libby type developed
along dramatic lines laid down in the
masterpieces OF KREMER, BLANEY and
GEORGE M. CONAN, and crudely inter-
rupted at various inopportune moments
by songs sometimes pitiably pathetic
and at other times even more pitiably
comic.
Probably this sort OF thing will have q
fieeting vogue, for it is q large country
and its theatrical digestion is young and
vigorous. Nevertheless, it Is safe to
say that IL another Gilbert were to
arise with a new vein OF polished wit,
he would easily find his Sullivan, and
comic opera would emerge from tho
Avernus into which il has easily de-
soended. Meanwhile, those who have
an interest in theatrical attempts may
observe with wonder the prevalent es-
says at decorating lugubrious melo-
drama with show girls, voiceless come
dians and the choral dance.

Edward VII. and william II. Meet.

yesterday the German and British
sovereigns held at WilhelmshShe q
conference which though private il of
public interest because they were re-
spectively accompanied by Chancellor
Won BtLow and a representative Of the
British Foreign Office. 1t is long since
a confidential meeting of the uncle and
the nephew has taken place, and it is
hoped that the present conference may do
much to dissipate the Observation-Disclosures
which have clouded Anglo German rela-
tions. IL has also been reported that the
German Emperor would transmit to King
EDWARD message Of more than ordinary
importance from the Gar, with whom
the former lately had an interview. IL is
natural that much significance should be
attached to this incident, especially as
another meeting of crowned heads, that
of EDWARD VII. and FRANCIS JOSEPH,
will occur at lschl to-day.
The outburst OF Moorish fanaticism
in Morocco would naturally furnish one
topic OF consideration at Wilhelmsh0he,
and in view of the threatening state OF
things in that country the British sover-
eign is likely to have spared no effort to
persuade his German nephew "a counte-
nance the constituting by France OF the
provisions of the Algeciras convention
