KITCHENER "MAN OF HOUR
LondOn's Clubs See Leader to Crush
Egyptian Sedition.

London.-Gradually the attention
Of the British public Is being focused
on the fact that Lord Kitchener's
Mediterranean command gives con-
siderable powers in Egypt. Will he be
appointed to take control from Sir
Eldon Gorst and whip the Egyptian
malcontents into order? That is the
talk of the clubs.
The situation is very grave indeed,
to judge from letters received in SEM
official quarters. The cheers that
broke out among young Egyptian Of
ficers when Colonel Roosevelt refer
red to the assassination Of Premier
Boutros Pacha, were a symptom of
the. dangerous elements at work. The
time is ripe for man of blood and
IRON to get hold on the country, cry
| the papers, and Sir Eldon Gorst, bril-
liant, theorist though he is, is not such
a man as is needed for the work. But
Kitchener is.
In the reassembled British parlia-
ment these views are to be pressed by
prominent conservatives who are dis
satisfied with the present representa-
tive of British authority in Egypt.

Why Women's Labor Is Cheap.
From the London Times.


If we ask why womens labor should be
cheap, the answer seems to be partly be-
cause her strength is generally less than
a mans. but also, and much more, be-
cause she does not train sufficiently to
become a skilled worker and .ecause she
does not organize strongly enough to ask
for better pay.
The industrial revolution $50 years ago
found women working perhaps quite as
hard as or harder than they work now.
But they were working-they spun, wove.
etc.-usually as members Of a family.
The family was the Industrial unit. The
growth Of capital and the introduction OF
machinery drew women out of their
homes to work in association in the fac
tory. Association gave men the opportu-
nifty Of combining together and taught
them that union might be strength. But
for various reasons women have been
much longer in learning that lesson, and,
though trade uniOniSm has recently made
progress among women, the proportion OF
woman workers who belong to unions is
as yet incOnSiderable.
What is the cause of the comparative
| lack of skill and proficiency OF women in
| industrial work and Of their compare tive
! apathy in organizing to improve their
| position? Men mostly attain their fullest
skill and power In those years when
women mostly withdraw from work. The
| most numerous class of women, the most
| typical woman In this country, is the
| girl who at fourteen or fifteen. perhaps
earlier, goes out servant or works
! in factory. mill or workshop for seven
| or eight years and looks forward to mar
rage as the natural termination of her
| Industrial career Even in Lancashire.
| where the employment Of married women
| Is more general than elsewhere. the CEN
sus shows that the percentage of women
occupied is so strongly Influenced by mar
riage that it drops from rs per cent at
the age group f1fteen-twenty to only 3S
per cent at the age Of twenty five-thirty-
five. The proportion of married or Wild
| owed women occupied in Lancashire from
twenty five to thirty-five years old Is only
Is per cent
1t is frequnetly observed by those who
| have made a study of women's trades
| that the prospect of marriage makes girls
slack about training and Indifferent about
organization. Here we come upon the
central anomaly Of the woman's position
| in industry. The normal woman looks
| forward to marriage, and gives, or hopes
| to give, her best years to the family.
| Hence her lack of stability as an indus
| trial worker and her weak position as a
| bargainer in the labor market.

The Educational Comet.
From the Boston Transcript.


Touching upon that conversational
staple, the comet, which of recent weeks
has almost displaced the weather as
current or permanent topic, Boston
business man made casual ailuslon to the
comet of 1888. His partner and friend
objected mildly, You mean the comet OF
1861 Nothing of the sort, Sir, was
the rejonder, in 5S it was" and he
bolStered his argument with family remi-
niscences that tended to show his memory
was good Promptly the second capped
these proofs with incidents of "a similar
sort and half hour of argument fol-
lowed which convinced neither of moth
ing except that the other was wrong. AS
a matter OF fact, both men were right.
There was a comet in 1858 and there was
a comet in 1861.
BY this time it is safe 10 say, the dis
putants, each having FASTENED to consult
authority, have perceived the strength
and weakness of their respective posi-
tons. Incidentally they have learned
something about comets, their own par
ticular comets in which they feel Ger
tain proprietary interest, and others. Per
haps they have gained kind of historic
background for our present v!sitant by
discovering that it was Haileys comet
which caused the Harvard observatory to
be founded in 1Si3-the design beng thus
to enable us fittingly to receive such dis
tinguished guests. Probably they have
found out what an orbit is Ike, have
brushed up their knowledge of constena-
tons, and have realZed-as few persons
actually DO, except for a cometary shock
that there are other regular members of
the solar system besides planets and their
satellites. OF recent months many per-
sons have learned so much or more. for
their educational gains the comet Is To be
thanked.

During the progress OF the case many
exceptions were noted to rulings by the
court, and the case was taken to the
court of appeals on bills of exceptions,
with the result that the circuit court
was reversed and the case remanded for
new trial. The ground on which the
court of appeals based it's reversal of the
circuit court was the refusal of the lower
court to allow the defendant to introduce
evidence to imoeach the testimony OF
certain witnesses called before the grand
jury.
After the case was remanded to the cir
