Chicago, Hi. SUNDAY, KOVEiIBEB 19, IBTL THE t.ATTR FEOHT QTJESTIOK. Tho letter of Mr. Timothy Wright, pub* Ilshod elsewhere, states the grounds of his objections to the sale of the three blocks of ground on the lake shore, between Monroe and Randolph streets, to the three railway companies, which enter the city at that place, for the erection of a passenger depot. Mr, Wright's principal objection is, that the price proposed to ho paid is inadequate— 'that the land can bo sold for more money, and that, if the railway companies cannot afford to pay move for it for depot purposes, the city can afford to let them go to other places where land is cheaper. As an alter native. however, he proposes to let them have what lies 300 feet cast of the oast line of Michigan avenue as far us the gov ernment breakwater for $1,000,000. How much the railroads can afford to pay for this land depends upon tho cost of ob taining equally desirable ground elsewhere and tlio cost of making the change of loi a tiou. How much the city can afford to sell it for depends n:u*Uv upon tho advantages to bo gained by having the depot there as com pared with the advantages of having the ground kept for base hall exercise, or con verted to mercantile uses. It is not strictly true, though it seems plausible, to say shat the city cannot afford to sell it to tho rail ways for less than private parlies; are willing to pay for it. H i the United States Government should wish to obtain it for the erection of public buildings of equal value and architectural effect with the proposed passenger station, the city could well afford to give tho ground for nothing, and would immediately do so, if that were a condition of obtaining the buildings. The city of New York could not afford to soli tho south end of its City Hall Park for mercantile uses at any price, but it can well afford to resign it for the erection of a new Post Office. If the State of Illinois should wish to remove its cap ital to Chicago, our citizens would undoubtedly grant permission for its erection on that ground free of charge, undesirable ae the acquisition might ho. Tho donation of valuable lauds for tho erection of expensive buildings is a very common occurrence. The citizens of tho West Division cotdd easily af ford to give to the Fort M ayno and North western Railways ground sufficient for the erection of a suitable passenger station, in place of tho unsightly sheds which they occupy. They could afford to do this even if they should buy the land—much more if they could fur nish it without cost to themselves. While we think that the city could well afford, under the present circumstances, to mako a present of those three blocks to the railways, especially if they agree to admit all future railways to the use of it, and of the tracks and right of way leading to the same, wo are not in favor of doing so. These railway companies aro not paupers. They ate able to buy all tho land they require. They cauuot afford to pay the w>a for cars to stand upon that merchants can afford to p»y it, for tho sale of goods. Tho railway obtains the use of as many square feet of surface as the ground measures and no more. The merchant multiplies his room by four, live, six, or as many stories as he chooses to build. The same amount of money does not measure them. The question is hot what sum the city can obtain for the land, but what it can obtain in the way of money, convenience, ornament, and public advantage combined. As tho National Government does not want it for a Custom House, or tho State Govern ment for a State House, tho next use for which it is wanted, most nearly resembling these, and, indeed, more useful and •heueticlal to- all classes than either of these, is that of a great passenger station. A majority of the property owners fronting on these grounds are in favor of the salo to the railways. A majority of the property owners on Michigan avenue, north of Park Row, are in favor of it. The idea i of keeping it for park purposes has been abandoned by everybody, except, possibly, the officials of the Board of Public Works, who seem to bo landscape-gardening still, crusting islands here, and lakelets there, and grottoes yonder, with broken bricks and dilapidated stove pipe, as though they ex pected the avenue to bo rebuilt with private residences. Mr. Wright proposes, by the terms of the Bale which ho would make, to convoy to the railway companies all tho ground and water between Michigan avenue and tho govern ment works, half a mile from tho shore. It seems to us that, in purely a dollar and cent view, the city could hotter afford to convey the three blocks for $1 Consideration, reserv ing tho riparian right, and then sell tho re maining half mile for what it is worth. TTTE TIBK VARSTTAT. AHD HIS ASSISTANTS. Tire Marshal Williams and his Assistants, in their rather long-winded efforts to make semi-official statements concerning tho fire, have succeeded in occupying a great deal of space and saying nothing at all which adds to the general information. Their united i testimony amounts to ouly tho fact of estub* listing that they lost their heads and j worked in an aimless sort of way, with- out any organized effort or concert of t action. It is almost the universal testimony of Individuals that they saw but Tory little i of tho fire, and the ffro officials seem to have been in the same predicament. If any blame i can attach to them in tbo premises, it is that they did not check the tire in the outset. After it had once gained headway, ami lire 1 and wind wore acting together, Fire Mrirshol Williams and his assistants might as well have attempted to extinguish tho suu as to master it. Thus the statements as to what any one of them did or did not attempt to accomplish, are simply puerile, and their quarrels o’*e with the other, are still more puerile, and, just at this present time, offensive. If any investigation is to be had concerning their competency, that in- Testigation should appertain to the com mencement of tbe tiro alone. It should dis cover whether Marshal Williams was on the ground promptly; whether ho acted Intelligently and skilfully; whether his instructions to his assistants wore such as should have been given, and whether they were promptly obeyed; and. lastly, whether he used tho resources at his command to the best advantage. If he djd bo. he did all that could have been expected; if he did not, ho is culpable aud should bo removed from bis position immediately, and a more competent man put in his place. That he did not accomplish anything after the tire crossed into the South Division aud started upon its terrible track of devasta tion is not to bo sot down to his discredit. Ho conld not have done more if he had had a legion of steam fire engines, for fire, not water, was master. Concerning his action, however, at tho commencement of the fire there should be a rigid and searching invest tigatlon. In the meantime onr Fire Department should bo organized aud strengthened to meet any emergency. If there are worthless moniathe department, aa there probably arc lot them be weeded out. The steamers should bo placed in perfect working order, and amply supplied withhosc Umt can stand pressure. We are not yet past the danger of great fires. Thousands of temporary rvood •n structures have heenjthrovrnnp in a hasty manner. They virtually rest upon tbo ground 'without foundations. We are approaching the season of extreme cold and violent storms, and it will take an unusual amount of heat to keep these structures worm. Huddled together as they arc, and hastily built, .it cannot bo expected that all of them are secure in their fines and store-pipes, and there must, therefore bo a constant to tho danger of fire, Ibis winter. Xho de partment should be tborougbly organized and ©auipped to meet the emergency prompt ly and efficiently, with a man at its head who understands his business. Let an Investiga tion be had at once, and If ilr. Williams is not the man, let him bo ousted without delay, and the proper man put in his place. In the meantime, and until such an investigation is had, let the Fire Marshal and his assistants beep out of print. They have made their statements, and they are not much more important than the statements uf Mr. Brown and Mr. Jones would be, who were only spectators. If they are not better firemen in deeds than they are in words, they should make way for better men. THE DEMOCRATIC PASTY. Unmoved by the adverse criticisms of cer t&iu Democratic papers, tho St. Louis Repub lican insists that the party must submit to 1 that inevitable transformation which the tremendous events of tho last ten years have produced, or be annihilated. The constitu tion which tho party has to defend hereafter is not, it says, tho constitution of 18C0, but that of 1870. It then defines what tea* Democracy, as follows: Eleven years ago the ultimate formulary of I Democracy, as given at the South* h 1 not assented to at theKorth, was the Ylrl Kentucky resolutions of ’9B, which declared th.vt I each State of the Union was the sole Judge of infractions of the constitution and of the remedy for them. This, of course, meant the right oi withdrawal from the Union. This doctrine un- Uhed In the smoke of the war; the South te*tcrt it to the extremist limit of human effort and en durance, and fulled;and it is, therefore, no longer to bo thought of. This is a candid statement of the old Dem ocratic doctrine, and of the fact that the war was commenced and fonght out by the reb els to maintain it. The Jiejmhltvan concedes that the party in 186 i, and again in ISCS, nought to obtain power witbont any change of political sentiment, and, though the formulaic of 1860 has been dropped, the old principle, now wholly inconsistent with the amended constitution, is still cherished by the party. It, therefore, ad- vises that the party make no uomiua- lions in 1870. We insist, however, that the omission to nomlnato candidates would be a blind that would deceive nobody. Wbat the Democrats who desire to benefit tho country most do in order to accomplish anything is, disband their party. There is no I need of resigning; let them quit, and unit-, mg with the Republicans, help to accom plish the many reforms which are delayed by unscrupulous men who retain political prom inence only because of the existence of a greater evil, the skeleton of tho Democratic party. THE EINO AM) THE POPE. The King of Italy and the royal family will shortly move from Florence to Rome, and, lor tho first time since Desiderius, the last of the Lombard Kings, was deposed by Charlemagne, there will be a King of Italy* resident in Romo. There have been many titular Kings of Italy and of Rome, bui Victor Emanuel will be tho first of tho new I order of monarchs ruling from the ancient I metropolis. It is the beginning of a now I era for Rome and for Italy. Under tho cm-1 piro founded by Charlemagne tho Papacy I became ono of the most powerful and I proudest States acknowledging tho Imperial j rule. Of toner than any other State it was in revolt against tho empire. It assumed not only the right of judging for Itself when to submit and when to revolt, but exorcising also the spiritual authority, it undertook to direct the other States of tho empire when they should be subjects of the Emperor, and when they should repudiate him. Tho Papal possessions have been oftentimes reduced and again restored; but as a general thing tho Popes have maintained their possession, clinging to Rome and to the exercise of po litical sovereignty therein "with bar- node tenacity. Indeed, it baa been made nart of the coronation oath of the Pope never to relinquish the temporal sovereign ty of Some. Victor Emanuel enter* Horaces King of Italy, including Rome. His govern ment has preceded him to that place, and for many months has had political control of the city. Ho is now about to proceed thither with the Crown Prince, and will occupy the palace known as the Qnirinal. But the Rome of the present day is not the Homo of the past. The now rulers find it difficult to se cure accommodations. The city which has 1 readily found palaces in which to accommo date large crowdaof strangers,vlsitingthecity for a short time, has not the accommo dations requisite for a large addition to its permanent and official residents, and at the same time for an unprecedented crowd of visitors. The result has been that, even in advance of the arrival of the King and Court, Rome linos herself so thronged, and buildings in such demand, that rents have largely advanced. Such a thing as an ad vance in rents is astounding to the people of a city where everything has been decaying and retrograding so long. The government has, therefore, been compelled to take pos session of a largo number of buildings held by religious bodies. Those se lected have been convents; it has not dissolved these organizations, but has compelled them to “double up.” Where there have been five convents the govern ment has consolidated them into two, taking possession of tho vacated premises for public uses. In all these cases force has been used. The notices given to the inmates have all been disregarded, and, while making no armed resistance, the occupants have refused to vacate until forcibly ejected. Of course, each of these cases is heralded as a spolia tion, and the wrath of heaven Is invoked upon the sacrilegious King, i Tho Pope in the meantime is in the Eternal I City. In some respects he has not hud such I a tranquil time for a long period. Ho re ceives his accustomed revenue without dis count, has the interest on his debts paid for him is in fact released of all liability for the public debt-, which had far exceeded his revenues. He is not troubled with State affairs, and os head of the Church is treated with becoming respect. He insiets.howcver, that he is a prisoner, and recites weekly al locutions in which nis imprisonment is duly discussed, and tho indifference of tho powers of Europe is grievously lamented. There is a constant giving out that the Pope I will not remain in* the city with the Prince of Piedmont, as Victor Emanuel is styled but whore he will go is not stated. Clement i V., nearly COO years ago, removed from Romo j under a somewhat similar plea of being no longer free. Ho removed his seat to Avig non, and it was nearly 70 years before bis successor could return. That, too, was in the days when the spiritual power of tho Pope extended over all Christendom. Tho remov al, as a matter of political policy, was not a success. Instead of uniting tho world for his restoration, it produced a schism, a division of the Church, a long succession of rival Popes, both at Rome and at Avignon, which did not end un til that other ecclesiastical revolution, known os tho Reformation, had permanently lost to Rome half the nations of Euro]>e. So that attempt at martyrdom proved a mis take. It is trne Pius IX. was o fugitive in 1&8, and did not return until the revolution ists were suppressed; but the present affair is not a mere popular outbreak. If the Pope leaves Romo voluntarily, he throws away tho great prestige of possession. He appeals to a world now entirely too practical to admit that his personal liberty or his spiritual authority has boon abridged, and therefore deaf to any thought of restor ing him by force. The “captivity of Avignon” will be repeated, and possibly there will be a renewal of the once very com mon practice of two or more Popes ruling at tho same time, each recognized by some portion of tho Chureb. The Church cannot survive such things at this time, and in this age. In the meantime Victor Emanuel, and after him Humbert and a line of Italian Kings, will have rebuilt Rome, peopled tbe Campagna by immigrants from other parts of tho kingdom, and have given to the city what is possible of its ancient splendor and renown. Th e following circumstances have come to our knowledge, and wo hasten to lay them before our readers, na being of peculiar in terest in Chicago and Springfield. A thrifty and respectable German named Hons Paromer, who resided on the North Side, was away from his home when the fire struck it. His wife, who made her best en deavors to save some of the household property, was beset by ruffians, who threatened to kill her and rob her of. what I: few valuables she was able to snatch away from the flames. At this critical juncture, a neighbor named Mor idan discovered the poor woman’s plight, drove off the robbers, and bore her to a place of safety, thereby probably saving Mrs. Pammcr’s life. Soon, however, the husband returned, and was exceedingly irate at what he called the unjustifiable and illegal interference of Mention in his domes tic affairs. He (Pamxner) was himself, he urged, the only lawful protector of that woman, and for any other man to protect her was an outrage. Ho proceeded to quote at groat length the statutes and common law treatises on marriage relations, and threat ened to indict Mention for grandlarceny. P. S.—Tho bearin’s of this narration, as Captain Jack Bunsby would say, “lays in the application on it.” A DANIEL ON THE SDFTHAGE QUESTION. The advocates of the theory that woman has derived the right to vote from the Four teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the National Constitution, will doubtless obtain some satisfaction from the recent opinion »f Judge Cartier, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. To him and his col leagues was submitted the suit of Sara Spencer, who was denied the privilege of registering as a voter, and sued the Board of Registration; also, that of another Sara, to wit; Sara E. Spencer, who was sim ilarly refused at the polls,—whether after registration or not, the report does not state. Judge Cartter, in enunciating tho opinion of the court, goes over tho question whether the elective fran chise is a natural right, and concludes that it is not; because,” saj's ho, “the legal vin dication of the natural right of all citizens to vote would, at this stage of popular in telligence, involve the destruction of ciril yov ernmcni.n His grounds for this doctrine arc i found in the unhealthy results of promiscu ous male suffrage in largo centres of papula- I tiou. The result in these centres,” Judge Cartter says, “is political, profligacy and violence verging on anarchy.” Hence, suffrage is not a natural right. “Isit a constitutional right?” the Judge then asks himself; and he oltes the two provisions of tho constitution under which the petitioners claim the privilege of voting; Fourteenth Amendment— Section 1. All per sons boro or naturalized in the United Statea, and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the Stato wherein they reside. No State shall mate or enforce any law which shall abridge tho privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, i Fifteenth Amendment— Section 1. The right of citizens of tho United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any 1 State on account of race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. fisc. 2. The Congress shall have power to en force this article by appropriate legislation. The court decides that these provisions of the constitution do advance women to the full powers of citizenship and clothe them with tho capacity to become voters.” At this announcement tho two Saras must have been much elated; but their hopes wore crushed when, in tho next moment, the Judge, like the fair jurist from Padua [Shafopeavc’e Reporfs], suddenly interposed a fatal obstacle to tho success of theircose, viz.: That, though this constitution had made women eligible to tho franchise, it still required-legislation to confer it. When this legislation shall be enacted, ho promises the two Saras fall satis* faction. In a report of Judge Cartter’s opinion we I find no train of reasoning by which the con-1 elusion is deduced that women are enfran-1 chised by tho two amendments cited but I suppose tbe theory of the court to be I that women are now denied tho privilege of I I voting because of their “previous condition I lof servitude.” There certainly is no provi-1 sion preventing thoStatca, or tbe United 1 I States, from disfranchising persons from* I J any other cause except race, color, or pre- j I vious condition of servitude.” Admitting J I that a woman is a “‘person” within the i meaning of the law, it still requires a good I deal of sophistry, or a powerful I stimulus of enthusiasm, to take in I 1 tho other premise that woman’s I condition is ono of “servitude,” as that term lis understood in law. That the Supreme Court of tho District of Columbia should pronounce it such is oven more remarkable I than that it should, after the elections in j Chicago and Now York, tho chief centres j of population” in this country, declare that I the tendency of simple manhood saffrago is I toward anarcbj’. AN IMPORTANT EXPEDITION. Some time during the present week an im portant scientific expedition will set sail from Boston, having on board Prof. Agassiz, Prof. Pierce, of the Coast Survey, ex-Prcsi dent Hill, of Harvard, and other distinguish ed savans. Tho vessel belongs to the U. S. Coast Survey service, and is called tho Hass ier, in honor of ono of the pioneers of- the Coast Survey. The principal errand of the Huskier is connected with this service but tbe voyage will also embrace a very careful examination of certain other scleutHic sub jects, which, aro thus sketched in a letter from Boston: The plan to be carried out is this: First, to explore the South Atlantic, then to go straight to tbe West Indies and begin tho tlrst great work, the in vostigation of the origin of tbe Gulf Stream. Then to go eastward into the broad ocean to*seek for tho greatest depth of tho Atlantic, and when found, thoroughly Investigate its bottom. From thence to Rio, where a stoppage for supplies will bo made. From Rio the party will explore the oast coast of Patagonia and the Faulkland Islands, ascertaining and tracing the course of thelßouth Polo currents, as they enter either the Atlantic or Pacific, which are now, to a great ex tent, unknown, and, therefore, the cause of much trouble and danger. They will next proceed through tho Straits of Magellan into the Pacific; Invettigutc that ocean in tho name way as in the Atlantic, especially the shore currents, tho depth of tho water and the soa bottom study tbo ani mals and the fishes, visit and explore tho islands opposite tho continent, and the continent itself; and finally bring up at San Francisco, where the scientific corps will leave tho vessel, and the lat ter, after a short stop, proceed with the officers of the Const Survey to survey the route from San Diego to panama: then go-north as far ns Puget Sound, and probably procoeglus far ns Alaska. Among tho objects sought to bo accom plished by this voyage are the dis covery of tho sources of tho ocoan currents of tbo Atlautic, tho max imum depth of that occau, aud tho relative height of tbo Atlantic and tho Pacific, with reference to its bearing upon tho feasibility of the proposed iuteroccauio caual. The force of scientific gentlemen includes, be sides tbe above-named gentlemen, the Count do Pour talcs, a famous docp-sca-drcdgor, and several chemists, geologists, and oven a “Su perintendent of Fishing, 1 whoso duty is, we suppose, to catch specimens for Agassiz to analyze. Prof. Agassiz explains, in a lettci to the Boston Adrcrtiur, that the expenw* (some $20,000) of his portion of tho expedition arc provided for by private munificence. Hr. George P. Randal), an architect of thip city, has published a pamphlet in which ip discussed “What ore and what are not fire proof buildings, and how to build them.” Mr. Randall pronounces that no iron con struction can ho considered fire-proof. Stone as a material ranks hut little higher, and he answers the question of what material we have of which to constructafire-proof build ing, by saying, “Brick.” He suggests that, in constructing build ings to resist the ravages of lire, the princi pal object is to provide that if afireorigiuate* in them, or is communicated to them, they may ho burned so slowly as not to endangci other buildings, nor get beyond the control of the Fire Department. As a measure to se cure such a result, the general plan of filling in between the rafters, joists, studding, itc., with concrete, is proposed. By this means a roof, whether it he French, Italian, or fiat roof, may ho made substantially fire proof. Ho also commends the use of iron laths, under the joists, with shoot iron plates on the upper side of the joists, and the whole covered with acoat of concrete or coarse mortar in which the lloor is to be laid. The end sought is an air-tight ceiling, the joists being enclosed, could at most he only charred, hut never would blaze. For the exterior of buildings, he says that brick seems to ho the only material that is fire-proof, durable, and cheap.” The manufacture of quinine in the United States iff confined to two houses in Philadel phia. It is manufactured from Peruvian bark, which iu IS7O paid a duty of 20 per conk. By the amended tarifi, this duty of 20 per cent was taken oft*, for the especial benefit of two druggists in Philadelphia. Qui nine is made In Europe from the same bark. One of the largest factories was destroyed by the Prussians during the war. Nevertheless, quinine, which has become uu indispensable THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1871 in cases of fever, is sold in Europe for much less than it is in this country. Previous to I the removal of the.duty ou the boric, this quinine sold, wholesale, in Philadelphia, at $3.30 per ounce, and in Europe at $1.70 in cur rency. In September, 1871, the Philadelphia druggists raised the price to S2JO. The amount consumed in the United States is about 700,000 ounces annually. There is now in bond in New York a large stock of quinine, which can be bought for $1.60 per bottle in gold, or about $1.78 in currency: but the duty is 45 percent in gold, which, with the pieminm on gold, makes the cost $3.70 in currency. This includes freight and exchange. The difference, therefore, between $1.79, at which quinine could be purchased, and the $2.50 demanded for it by the Philadelphia monopolists, is 71 cents per bottle. This they are enabled to demand be* cause of the monopoly given them by Con gress. Multiplying 700,000 ounces annually consumed in the United States by 70 cents, will give $490,000 as the tax paid by the sick of this country to these two drug con cerns in Philadelphia, to encourage their “infant industry.” Druggists con well af ford te spend large sums annually to keep up a lobby to support the “infant manu facturers of quinine.

But from this they have their feet com pletely encrusted with corns. In the spring, when ’hey raft their logs, they do not change their clothing or boots for weeks, until their arrival at the saw-mills. All the while their feet have been saturated In wrtcr, and, when the boots arc re newed. tho corns fall off like nutshells from the kernel. —lt Is stated that tho Raritan, New Jersey. Woollen Manufacturing Company has engaged four hundred Chinamen to work In its factories. —A cigar-making machine has been produced ia Louisville, by a medical gentleman. Dr. M. T, Mc- Kinney, which, It Is claimed, must revolutionize tho cigur trade; The machine occupies about os much room os a sewing machine, and can be op erated by a boy or girl with all ease. It makes two cigars at once, and turns out 1,500 a day. Tho cigar comes out perfect In form and formation, and Is handsomer than the article made by hand. An expert, industrious cigar-maker will make by hand about 1,500 cigars a week: for tbs cheap est cigar manufactured he gets fU per thousand; for a better grade, its per thousand. This ma chine, capable of doing tho work of five men, and costing Sl6O. it is stated, can bo run at an expense of six dollars per week, making the cost of manu facturing 9,c00 cigars only six dollars, where it is now paid ninety-nine dollars. THE, LABOR QUESTION'. Miss Anna Dickinson on Dema gogues and Workingmen.” Bough Shots at the Labor Reform Movement and Trades Unions. The Nineteenth Century’s Wel come to the Fourteenth* An unusually large audience assembled in the First Congregational Church* on the corner of Ann and Washington streets, Friday evening, to greet Anna Dickinson,—the galleries as well as the main floor being crowded. The absence o( I other attractions probably conduced to this re sult, for the audience was fully as largo as, if indeed not larger than svny she had last season In Farwell Hall. The display of fashionable nt- tlro«ropudlatcd all Idea of sackcloth and ashes. An Improvement of a moat decided character Tvas the "organ solo, which kept tho audience I amused while tho house was Ailing up. Miss I Anna's arrival on the stage was the signal for a little applause. She was Introduced by Major Whittle, after the usual volley of announco- I monta. Miss Dickinson wore a brown silk dress, will velvet trimmings and velvet sacquo tomatch. The Major’s discourse having successfully ter- minated, ho said the sublect of her lecture was not Out of the Depths,” because she had no I such subject. Her subject was therefore “Dciua- I gogues and Workingmen.” Tho lady then put thiugs right. She repudiated I any intention to allude to the late disaster, which I she thought no one evening could do justice to, I She could not bring any more words of sympathy. or sorrow, or love. The entire proceeds of her lecture were to go to the Young Hen’s Christian Association. She commenced her discourse by stating tmu the ■word Progress” seemed to ho tbo character istic of the human race. It was a tendency to onualltrlof rights. It had been called by various names in vanws a**a; It was the quarrel be tween king and subject, master and slave, capital and working man. There never was any i Question of the rol-ery of ibis mass ol sSman beings. It was no longer an effort to help the poor, so much as to give the l noor an opportunity to help themselves. Ujm not strange that there were many stumblings in tho war. However live question might be dis* mvsßctl there was doubtless discontent among 1 theworking-meii. Every man lu tbo country was a working-man. A man in this country had to ■work or die. Therefore she took issue with the 1 movement which declared that the apprenticed S-tSm was only the working man. It excluded ttoMgtacer.tlfe farm laborer,the Hundredsof thoujsuiida of men and women tho ulav u> of an Cl rS?distlnctlvo moveincut Known as the laihor Reform Movement, included only skilled »nl sans. They maintained that they were the 'it tims of capital, were held down by the strong hJSd of power, and yet they were not response. Their chosen mouthpieces said labor in Amenta was descending to slavery; that the condition of the American laboring man was falling tolow his English brother. They compared U o Mnuig men with similar gifts, on© of climbs to tho summit of success, while the 1 other dies at 70, so poor as to have not a dollar to pass to his children. And jet for this [monstrous inequality Capital, teenth Century. Christianity, were amagDOd-- never tho workingman. A strike In En«land re sulted lu gaining 8 cents per day—after the most unheard of privations. Tho LougStrike MnoysthJ bricklayers at Albany exemplified 100 cltarl> that a man without the exercise of Ids brato could earn *4.50 a day. If ho said ho could not achiev t a moderate eomi»ctcnce he would insult the com mon sense of his audience.. Confessing that the complaints were just, what did tho employed do They struck, ami rose 40 per cent higher in the scale of civilization. Hid thevt The result of this sort of talk about the 1 ballot-box was tho result of trades-iudonß. No one could question tho right of men to ttx anj price upon their goods, but, at the same time, no one could question the right of another man to set another price. But one could question tho right of the first class of men to seize their purchaser by the throat and compel them to buy at their prices, or by fraud, or violence, to prevent others from sell- IC I gcntlemun*Uad told her that ho had In his employ 100 workmen, and bad employed a Ger man at higher wages than any others, Ahe association K then ordered a strike among I his men, and every other one went out, the German’s only oflenco being that he was a better workman than they were, and not a mem- I ber of the association. That German was abso -1 lately driven back to Germany. There was a tra dition, rapidly vanishing, that this was a free country. But tho absolute power of a trades -1 union was more tyranical than an European des potism. All tyranny was bad, but that was the worst which worked with tho machinery of freedom. Tho speaker went on to give some illustrations of the working of trades unions. But it was said, “Trades-unions aro democratic.” The by-laws provided that from 9 to 13 men might constitute a quorum, which could send live hundred men into poverty on a strike, without the power to rebel, why then were the unions formed! They were commenced, and, as her hearers understood, it was an easy thing to start a fire, but a hard one to stop it. Take the Typographical Union. Tho foreman was tho omy person to whom application for omplojincut coult\ be made. The results were plain, m the preference of unworthy meu, members of tbo clique, to tho exclusion of the more deserving who were not members of the union, which the speaker illustrated with a strong appeal to the feelings of the audience. It was brutal tyranny-*not uu effort against the tyranny of tbe capitalists, for that, right or wrong, might he admired. It struck tho unarmed workingmen—at tho boys wbo were to make the futurelgeueration. Tbe man inside the fortress fought against tho b >ys outside. The fundamcn tal principle of the union was two apprentices to any number of journeymen. Of eight millions of workingmen, one million were unskilled; Hence, 3 per cent of penitentiaiy men were pro fessional; 1G per cent were skilled artisans; 82 per cent unskilled workingmen! There was no need of I iglc to explain these figures. The result of trades-unions was to Increase even more dreadfully this enormous percentage. If it was a good living to have 17,000 men in idle ness in a penitentiary (tho figures as they were) It was a good thing to have a larger number. Hence it was a good tiling to have a standing army in every town. A Republican would not hurt a negro, nor could u Democrat strike an Irishman, but both shook hands to persecute the Chinaman. For what reason I Because they were an importation, merchandise, coolies. The same term should then be applied to the Ger mans or Swedes. An eloquent Labor Reform speaker in Boston suited that his op position to coolie labor was that the contractor received 90 per cent of tho Chinaman’s earnings. Wendell Phillips made the statement in Boston, with the pipers under his very eye. stating that not only were 32 Chinamen to be killed in Los Angeles, but there were $33,000 to bo stolen. How could any reasoning man believe that this sum had been saved by two dozen Chinamen on leu cents a day! Again it was urged that the $2 a day paid to the American stood for the education of his children, and tho amenities of civilized life, while the Chinaman was content to let his children die in ignorance, aqd would thus bring down the Amer ican to his level. And yet in Massachusets there were 20,000 children who had never been to school. In San Francisco there was not a Chinaman who could not read, write, and figure in his own most difil cult language. While on one sido the laboring man was bellowing about too many feet E ashing him out of employment, on the other and there were ’pillions of acres of untouched land—of mineral wealth merely waiting to bo de veloped. But the capitalists could get no labor ers. Going down tho streets of San Francisco, she met crowds of men rushing down the street* to welcome tho Chinaman” as the ship came in to tbo harbor. Bo eager were these meu to wel come their brethren that they neglected their work—a day’s pay—to welcome their brothers. As tho ship came In,there was not an oath, an obscene word un altered by these Christian Americans. Stones were hurled at tho innocent Chinamen, knives and pistols were brandished at thorn, sum every crossing stone was stained with a Chinaman's blood. That was the welcome free America gave to the victims of Chinese despotism; that the nineteenth ceuturj* gave tho fourteenth; that Christianity gave heathenism. That was the legitimate trait of the trados’-nnions system. It was argued that the hands employed were as valuable us the employer. Tho head got more because the hdad planned, originated, organized, and tbc bands merely executed. If, therefore, a man objected to being n bead, ho might Join and become a hand. With sue or two dozen ex ceptional Tammany thieves, the richest men in America were the hardest worked. There was no aristocracy in this country; nor was it true that there was a class of tho rich running in a groove from sire to son, and another groove in which the poor man was running. It was untrue that no man could do Justice to himself who worked more than eight hours a day. Shi believed that In a factory no one could work healthily for more thuu eight hours a day; but that employment was not included among those of skilled labor. Nor was It true that thej- could protect themselves against capital by close cor porations. Tho surest mcthod'to gain what you wanted was not to strike your clenched fist in the face of tho man above you, but to stretch out j'our hand to the man below you. She thought the groat panacea for nli ills was co operation. It would not give any man a brown stouo front, but it would give him what he earned. Wuat it would do would put all meu on a level footing; how the heads would stand was another question. The secret of existing in equality was hidden in the profound secret of nature’s earliest years. The co-operative system was the flower of Chris tianity. The weak should bo helped by the strong, and the winner hailed with plaudits, not with curses. She could not forget that hero in Chicago, when tbe working world bad put down its tool, and. blind to the magnitude of the forest tiros by reason of one great blaze, had given ol its ability, that Chicago bad said, Them are others there who need it more than we do.” It was a noble sight to see poverty helping want. Tho address concluded withau eloquent perora tion. Miss Dickinson, be it said, donates tho proceeds of her lecture to the building up of tho Young Hen’s Christian Association, A X>e«aoti in Geography* In n late report of tbe Secretary of tho St. Louis Newsboy's Homo, is the following: During one of their class lessons in geogra phy, each lad iu his turn was required to give the name of three European countries until all had been named. The first bov responded by saying England, Ireland, and Scotland: the second followed with France, Prussia, and Russia; tbe next boy's geographical knowl edge was evidently limited, for ho gave in perfect seriousness, Caroudelet, Kirkwood, and Chicago although with a half doubtful air. No, no,” said the class-mastor of tho evening, ‘‘name three of tho countries in Europe.” The boy looked at tho door, and then at the ceiling, in a state of perplexity. A boy behind tho other quietly whispers. Hungary, say Hungary.” “No, I shan’t, you’re hungry; hungry ain't no country.” 14 Yea it is, you numskull; say Hun gary.” With this gentle prompting Hun gary was said.- “Yes; no\v another.” Prompter behind whispered 44 Turkey.” “Go on with yer; turkey ain't no country.” Yes, it is, thickhead, say Turkey.” Turkey was said very doubtfully- Yes.tUat snght, Hungary and Turkey—that’s two: now an other. 1 wont you tonamo throe.” Boygave on annealing side look to Ins prompter, nuo whispered "Goose. say Goose.’’ "Goose,” shouted tho slmdent of geography, os if he’d known it all his lue to 10 tlic name of a country in Europe. Eoars of laughter from all present greeted this answer, much to the confusion of the stu dent, who finally created a diversion hy at tempting to make geographical researches with his list about the polar regions of his prompter. In the midst of confusion the class was therefore brought to a close out close, but Hungary, Turkey, and Goose will bo long remembered by muuy present. The little Fred. W. lorln*. From the Boston Journal, Nov. 16. A despatch from San Francisco, pnuiisueci Monday morning, gave an account or an attack upon a stage coach zona, naming among the passengers kiiieu a ilr. F. W. Luring, and ados that he was from Boston. This last despatch seems to leave no room for the doubt which the many friends of Fred. W. Loriug in this vicinity had sought to entertain as to his identity with the murdered man, and puts almost be yond a question the sad fact that his life, so fresh and full of promise, has been taken by the cowardly and brutal hands of the i murderous Apaches. Mr. Loring was a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1870, and at the time of his death was nearly 23 years of ago. One of the moat promising of iour younger journal ists, his contributions to our periodical lit erature were marked with a freshness and vigor of stylo which secured for them many readers, and won for them a good degree of popularity. Ho was a contributor to the Mianile, Old and 2few, very Saturday Baxly and Commercial Bulletin, and was at one time engaged upon the Saturday irai tug (iasette In college he was distinguished for literary ability, and the poems he con tributed to the Advocate and, other papers while there, were collected with some 9UI ora and published last April by A. K. Lprmg, under the title “The Boston Dip.” His story, “Two College Friends,” which ran through the Old and New as a serial, was also published by A. K. Loriug, only a short time ago. Ho was the author of a success ful play in two acts, which was brought out at the Globe Theatre, and of another, written for Maggie Mitchell. Ho was one of the six who were to be engaged upon Mr. Hale’s quaint serial, Six of One by Half a 1 Dozen of the Other; and his death will leave a sad vacancy in that little group of writers, Mr. Loring, at the time of his death, was in the service of Appleton's Journal haviugbecn engaged by that paper to accompany the exploring expedition sent out by the United States Government, under Lieutenant Wheel -1 j*»r, to explore the Colorado River. His last contribution appeared in the issue of No vember 18, aud boro date August 21. When tbo last of it was written, the little party had just passed through the Death Valley,” which previous expedi tious had avoided, or in which they had been lost. Private letters, the last having date September 1, and witten from Mojave. Montana Territory, give a vivid account of I his adventures, aud are full of hopefulness and courage. Ho expected to reach San Francisco by tbo last of October, and thence take his way homeward. The list of outra ges committed oy the Apaches within the last few months, with ammunition aud ma terial furnished by over-credulous Peace Commissioners, is a long and sad one but this lust addition to it is the saddest of all. The New Earl* From the Now York Evening Post Lord Dufferin, wbo has just been raised to an earldom, receives his accession of honor with the hearty good-will and approbation of all classes of his countrymen. Ho is as amiable as ho ia able, and as popular in his capacity of an Irish country gentleman us m that of a member of the government. The new Earl is but little over 40. He suc ceeded to his title very early, ou tho death of his father, who took too strong a dose, on board tho Holyhead packet, to make him sleep through the passage, and never awoke. Lord Duneriu’s mother was a Sheridan— one of the throe talented, beautiful, and pen niless daughters of tho great Brinsley's only sou. Ho audhis father were Arcades amho In point of improvidence and carelessness. Ou one occasion when they both were utterly hard up, Tom asked his father for some money. “My dear follow," was tho reply, “I’vo nothing to give you, having nothing mvself. The only course I can see leh for you is to take tho pistols you’ll find yonder, mount your horse, ride away to Huuslow Heath, only two miles distant, and rob tbo first likely traveller you meet.” “Ah,” replied Tom, I've tried that, hut, unfortunately, the man I stopped was your treasurer.” For at this time the elder Sheridan was lessee of Drury Lane Theatre, and all whom ho emploj’cd had to wait woefully long for wages. Sheridan used to tell Tom that ho had wit enough to get a dinner every night at the best tables in London, hut that was all. Tom died young, leaving a son—tho present member for Dorsetshire—who ran off with Miss Cohiuhoun Grant, a great heiress (their third sou recently married Miss Motley, the historian’s daughter), and three daughters, each famous in her way—the Dutchess of Somerset, who was queen of beauty in tho celebrated Eglington tournament; tho Hon. Mrs. Korton, v no, by ber matrimonial troubles and admirable writings, in very well known on both sides of the Atlantic, and Lady Dufferin. Lady Dufferin—who unites the highest cultivation with charm of manner, brilliant conversation, and, in her youth, beauty— married a second time, under very romantic eircuiustatlcos, the late Earl of Gifford, eldest son of the Marquis of Tweeddale. Lord Gifford, who was little older than her sou, had, strange to say,been much neglected in point of education by his father, and it was under Lady Diifferiu’s auspices that in later life he repaired the defects. The intimacy between pupil and teacher —he was also her sou’s great friend—led to a romantic devotion ou tin; part of the former. Again and again he begged her to become his wife, hut she thought that disparity of nge rendered such a muon out of tho question. At length Lord Gifford was seized with an illness destined to prove fatal, and to comply with his earnest prayer that she would bear his mime, Lady Dufferin, a few weeks before lie was laid in the grave became Countess of Gifford. Lord Dufferin wrote, some years ago, a delightful book of travels called Letters from High Latitudes,” with which all who have not read it will do well to become ac quainted. New Bond to the Y» Semite. From the itarlposahCaU Gazette. Few persons have stood on Glacier Point, ami looked sheer down ii.ooo feet from the edge of that mighty perpendicular wall to the smilingvalloy below, would consider a proposition to make a practicable bridle path from tbo immediate vicinity of the southern cud of the valley, anything better than the scheme of a madman, lot the making of such a bridle-path is just what James McCauley has undertaken, and has really accomplished. Wo heard with surprise some account of this enterprise, a few weeks ago from Fred. Loidig, of Yoso mitc. Mr. McCauley was in town this week and furnished us with some details of tho course and .character of this extraordinary trail. Stalling from tbo valley, the trad begins to climb tbo southern wall at a point directly back of Loidig& Da vauay’s hotel. and about 100 yards from benthiol Hock. Climb ing the funis it reaches by n zigzag course to a point back of Black's; tlicucc crossing to a point back of Hutchings’: thence zigzagging again it passes beneath Glacier Point and reaches the brink of the valley close to the Point on its eastern side. The whole length of the trail will not exceed three and a quar ter miles, and one part of it will bo as steep as some parts of the trail by way of Inspiration Point. It might be supposed that portions of such a trail must be so narrow thntatsucdi dizzy heights few of tbo ordinary visitors to ibo valley would have the nerve to enable them to traverse it. Hut we are assured that is not the case, and sutlicient breadth is se cured to give travellers a fooling of com fortable security, whilo tbo extraordinary character of the route and the scenery must add great piquancy and interest to “theirex its and their entrances.” It is expected the trail will bo passable before December. A point on this trail, back of Hutchings’ and directly in front of Yosemitc Fall, is said to bo an ex ceedingly interesting point of view, com manding at once every spectacle of beauty and of majesty in the valley. It seems cer tain that, to travclleis catering the valley by way of Glacier Point and this remarkable trail, the elieefc of the wonderful valley must he even mure magnificent and imposing than before. A Dog Story from Truthful Boston. From tlio Boston Herald. Mj, Edward Watts, a well-known citizen reaiding at No, 23 Harvard street,tell« a verv remarkable story about a pair of English bull terriers tbat ho owns and prizes very highly. He says, and Officer Coombs. of the Fourth Station, vouches for the truth of the story, that one day last week he had occasion to go from his house to Portland street, a good mile, for the purpose of paying a small bill. Arriving at Portland street, with the dogs, he met tho man he wished to sec. on the sidewalk, and there paid the bill, at the time dropping a twent3’-dollar bill on the curbstone, though he knew nothing about it till his arrival home, some two hours afterward, and after calling at several places on his way-home. Finding this S2O bill gone, he took his dogs and started back, calling at the places he visited on his way home. On reaching Sudbury street ho called his dog Jess, showed him a S2O hill, looked about on the ground as if hunting for it, and told the dog to “smell it out.” The dog then started on with his nose to tho ground in front of Ms master, and pushing round into Portland street, where they had been before, and where the bill was paid, ho stopped, poked about tbc dirt with Ms nose, aud in a few minutes ran up to his master with the S2O bill in hi inouth. That looks like a very tough story, hut if truthful men are to be believed, then is this story tmc. EDUCATIONAL Cathedral School for Girls, Cor* Washington and Pcorla-sts.
