if Heaven will grant him the years of ethaah-a that
has been written the subject and listen all discussions of

do congregate-and verify he will doubt no longer.
The induction of fact is voumnous but thus far what prac
tica results have they suggested Whoever can tell us
to reconcile gaism and republicanism will be the
beneactor of suffering race the shining light and deverer
of his day and generation The courageous philosopher must
grapple suspect at the very outset with the inquiry
whether there be not rreconcabe anagonsm between
democracy and domestic service? Liberty and equality
there's one rub the demand greater than the supptheres
another ignorance of housekeepe and consequent depend
upon Observation-Disclosures the third Wages not the
difficulty. We know lady who willing to pay the


highest price and do the work herself in order to the
gentee appearance of having maid to answer the

expectations realized We have heard of bride
with whom money OF no account She had thirteen
cooks in many weeks. We acquainted with consld
matron who provides the priestes of her culinary
department with special attendant do all the dishwashng
and cleaning up but she Notwithstanding her extra gener
osy is often left to burn her fingers and the beesteaks
likewise We have earned-but must stop.-The Tran

The investigation of the Almshouse Paterson N jersey
has shown that system of slow murder established by
its Superintendent The cruees inflicted upon the women
and children the sick and crippled and insane would not be
credited upon rumo but clearly proven Yet these
atrocities pracced for months without the knowledge
of the public and appear to have been revealed by accident
The management Of this institution is sufficient for
examination of all Others and the Governor might properly
appoint Commission to inquire into the treatment of our
paupers and unatics We have for believing
that such horrible tyranny that OF the superintendent at
Paterson would be discovered but it certain that
reforms needed.
