Black Jack Bogan inis not bobbed ti]> in several weeks. Is lie off training for the presidential race, or has the sound of the Blaine gong frightened him into Ids hole? Senator Edmunds, so it is said, fre quently makes calls at the white house, but studiously avoids mentioning any official or political topic. There aro times when silence is golden and Ed munds knows his little presidential Boom enn’t stand much talk. He had rather bring out a bundle of old letters. Tiie results of the voting in the last ■congressional election brought about many surprises. It also showed the vuluc of a few votes. In Now Hamp shire 10 per cent, of the members of the lower house of the legislature were elected by less than six majority each. Fifty, votes properly placed would have changed the complexion of the legisla ture. We publish an interesting interview with Hon. Walter Evans taken from the Courier-Journal. Ho was commissioner of internal revenue during President Arthur’s administration and was one of (the dead ex-president’s firmest friends. Mr. Evans believes that Mr. Arthur would have been alive to-day if he had been nominated in 1884. Hut he, no more than Blaine, would have been •elected. Washington City iH enjoying an al most unprecedented boom just now. The building inspector has issued a report which shows a largo increase In the num ber of buildings erected in that city dur ing the past year over any preceding .year. The total number of permits is sued was 5151, with an estimated value of the structures erected amounting to ■$5,2811,27-, 2012 buildings, and $1,270,038 in excess of the preceding year. Of thin number the greater part base been •dwellings, which alone are valued at ($3,838,!)0o. The New Orleans Picayune tells us Jtliat it is a real pleasure to learn that Baroness Burdett-Coutts is quite ns much in love with her young husband ns ever, and he—ah, well he probably thinks it is better to be an old woman’s darling than a young woman’s slave. It is simply *wful, however, to think of the number of young men with high foreheads who . marry simply for a home in these •degenerate days. No wonder our grand fathers love to talk of the good old days, when a man would love a girl without knowing or earing whether she had a bouse and lot to shelter him or boodle For him to invest in election bets; when it man would love a girl for her good bind got-up-early-and-milk-tho-cows dis position, and would marry her because of 'her ability to hustle out on the farm, plow up an acre of ground, dig up and ■sell a wagon load of potatoes, feed the cows and pigs, and keep things running, while he sat behind the stove at the corner grocery smoking a clay pipe. Those were the good old days when a man would marry for a home was thought to have bunions on his heart. THE BUG LAWS. The supreme court of Massachusetts Las decided that the old Sunday blue laws remaining on the statute books may suid must be enforced. The decision has created a great commotion in Boston, which has always had more appetite for culture than consistency, and very little actual possession of either commodity. It is to be hoped that the old statute which forbade a man’s kissing his wife on Sunday will not be enforced. There are a few bridal couples in Boston with whom it would seriously interfere, though the great mass of the citizens would not appreciate their complaints. The puritans were hard to beat on the blue law business, and they never failed to give a reason for every blue law made. They forbade a man’s kissing ins wife oi\ .Sunday because it was, or was supposed to be, a pleasure to both. They forbade bear lights, not because it hurt the hi qv, but because it pleased the people. And it was these same old Pilgrim fathers, who, when they first landed, met in srolemn conclave and Yesolved to obey the laws of God until they could get together and make better ones. HV PAY ANP BY NIHIIT. In the course of bis sermon last Sun day morning, one of the prominent min isters of this city stated that he had been informed* that thero arc ladies in Colum bus making pants at fifty cents a dozen pair, and other garments ut twenty live cents a dozen. If this be true, and the minister did not seem to doubt it, a more burning shume could not rest upon any man who would thus impose upon their necessities to secure work at such prices. It calls to mind the story of Mrs. Mo ran, who attempted to commit suicide iu Jersey City a few days ago. And Mrs. Moran’s is hardly an extreme caseamong women workers in some of the larger cities, if reports we repeatedly hear from them be true, But in this ease, which has been brought to light, Mrs. Moran had four children to support, and she went out at washing iu the day time,and worked at dressmaking at night. Before such a labor strain as this, the demands for eight hours and acquiescence in ten hours’ work fade into insignificance. Bight though they may bo, they seem even trivial claims, ns made by strong men, when compared with this awful race among sewing women against star vation and time. Seventeen and eighteen hours for a day’s work is not an uncom mon stretch of toil among the poorest paid working women, and it iH not un likely that this hopeless straggler who tried to combine two trades worked all of eighteen hours a day. With every muscle aching and every nerve excited from the severe day’s toil at the washtub, she sat down at night and thread ed her needle for another dull, wofljying tax upon skill and strength. It is pitiful, it is tragic, and yet hundreds of lives are worn out in this way to supply the cheap ready-made underwear, the handsome cloaks and coats, the economi cal, stout and durable clotfling for men and women. The deaths, as one after another drops out of such a fearful race, are not noted, except in such instances as this, when despair gets an irresistible impulse from desertion or disappointment. It is no argument but brute force to say that if one woman will not work for such poor compensation another will. No man knows the suffering that many good, pure and true women undergo on account of their poverty. They prefer death to dishonor and nothing hut starvation and love for their offspring could induce them to thus wear their lives away for such pitiful wages as many receive. ‘ SPEAKER CARLISLE. Tiie question as to whether or not Speaker Carlisle desires to enter tiie sen ate is being discussed in Washington. The Star says: ‘’The Kentucky friends of Speaker Carlisle are apparently deter mined to demonstrate that the light vote cast for him for congress at the recent election does not indicate any waning of his popularity at home. Some of them are already declaring that if Mr. Carlisle is not re-elected speaker he shall bo sent to the United States senate to succeed Mr. Beck, whose term expires March 3, IS,Hi), Mr. Beck will not relinquish his seat without a stniggle, and should these two stalwart Kentucky democrats enter the li.-t. against pa eh other ihere will be a lively light. But the election for speaker will precede that for senator, and if Mr. Car lisle can again be placed in the former position, it is the opinion of Kentuckians here that he will not seek the senator- ship. With Carlisle out of the way, Beck would probably have practically a walk over in the senatorial race; but should the speaker decide to ask his state for the senatorship the result, leading Kenfuckv democrats say, Would he in doubt. TlTe senatorial term in question will not be gin until the expiration of the fiftieth congress, so that Mr. Carlisle could take both positions without having one inter fere with the oilier.” In these days of political chicanery and scheming it is a difficult matter to fore cast the probable results of anything po litical. But there is hardly but one opin ion among the democratic friends of the speaker, and they look upon his re-elec tion to the speakership as a matter of fact. Such talk as the close race in the congressional contest being an obstacle in the way of bis re-election is simply bosh, and none know it better than those who were elated at the narrow escape. Kentucky, no more than Georgia and the other southern cities, falls in with the Pennsylvania protective idea. That Speak er Carlisle’s opponent received less votes than did the republican candidate two years ago, is a refutation of the fact that there is a change of sentiment in his dis trict. WHY SENATOR EDMUNDS SULKED. The Vermont Achilles has written a letter in which he gives very pointed reasons for his failure to support Blaine for tiie presidency two years ago. While Senator Edmunds did not offer open op position to tiie republican candidate, he sulked in his tent, and his silence was a serioqs hindrance to the campaign of his party. In a letter to a friend ho ex plains why lie remained inactive, the substance of which is that he did not wish to embarrass his party by exposing himself to inquiries which he could neither answer truthfully nor refuse to answer without injuring the party’s can didate. He believes that by talking he would do tiie party more harm than good, and that the republican party ought to have won despite the bad char acter of its candidate. 1 The inquisitive mind will naturally j east about to ascertain why Senator 12,1- ! murids should have remained silent so I long, and why his letter written in 1885 | should just now come to light. It cer tainly was not needed to vindicate him self before the Vermont republicans, as the legislature has alreudy done that in a manner that cannot be otherwise than satisfactory to him. Perhaps, and we submit it is not an unreasonable assumption, Senator Ed munds is not very well pleased with the shape Mr. Blaine’s boom for 1888 is tak ing. It is also quite probable that the enthusiasm put into his own little presi dential boom is not materializing any worth mentioning. Both these factors may have a potent influence, and he fie sires to put the republican party on no tice that if Mr. Blaine is again put before the people he may come to a different conclusion as to the party’s success and openly oppose the “Plumed Knight.” It is a coincidence that Messrs. Blount and Crisp, especial favorites of Mr. Carlisle, secured the smallest votes of the Georgia congressmen. This may or may not have meaning. At any rate it is worth notice.—Macon Telegraph. It is not a coincidence, but the result of public sentiment among the democrats of the south, that twenty-five of the thir ty-five democrats in the house of repre sentatives who ran oil'after Randall, wen- defeated in a contest for renomination. This has a meaning but the Telegraph lias not thought it worth notice. WIIAT THE EDITORS SAY. Loa/Ing before the church doors at Bain bridge at the cdmmencement of services has become such a nuisance that the Democrat insists on its being stopped. Colonel Maston' Dukes, of Decatur county, drives a span of black mares raised on his own plantation. The Democrat is emphatic in the declaration that Bainbridge shall not be a dry town. It says: The water works will be competed, no matter what the cost. Our people intend to have water, and are anxious and eager to pay for it. The editor of the Araericus Recorder and Major Hanson, of the Macon Telegraph, are talk ing very naughty of each other. This is not as it should be. There is high authority for the statement that “it is pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity.” The Eufaula Times does not like the idea of handicapping trade, and thus raises its voice in behalf of angels of commerce: The present drummer’s tax is a fraud. We are glad to see that a bill has been introduced in the Alabama legislature to abolish it entirely. The Ozark Star has information to the effect that Messrs. J. H. Fitzpatrick and other gentle men of Mobile, will at an early day put a steam boat on the Choctawatchie river to ply between Cary ville and Newton. After having feasted to his stomach’s content, Editor Shropshire, of the Eufaula Mail, places his arms akimbo to remark: The ladies of the Methodist church did a fine business with their lunch tables the last week. The writer dined yesterday at one of the tables. There are more pretty maids and matrons in the Methodist caurch of Eufaula- than in any con gregation of its size in the world. A “city preacher” went to Headland, Ala., not long since where he preached, an excellent ser mon. After the sermon one of the church mem bers who has been in the habit of paying the preacher $1 remarked to the editor of the Pro gress that he would be willing to pay $2.50 if the seryices of that preacher could be secured. As the church member is only worth about $25,000, this may be considered quite a liberal proposi tion.
