WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN.
No controversy of recent date is at
tracting more attention and causing
more thought than that which took its
origin in Miss Clare DeGralTenried’s nota
ble article in the last Century magazine
on the subject of tho uoral and social
status of the Georgia ciacker in the cot
ton mill, and Mrs. Dr. Felton’s reply in
the Constitution of a few days ago, fol
lowed again by Miss PeGratTenreid’s re
ply to her critics generally, and Mrs,
Felton in particular.
Apart from the interest felt In the pit
ting of two such brilliant women against
eacli other, the public feci deeply in-
Gkoboia was not officially repro-' ln tl,e of the controversy
aenteil at the Cincinnati convention. ! P" “■ because with the tpowtli of cot-
Georgia and Mississippi were the only : ton manufacturing in Georgia an» tie

THE DAGNER FROM WOMEN.
The venerable Dana, of the New York
Nun, shows in the following humorous
article the legitimate consequences of
the theory of the Minnesota legislature
lately attempted to be put into a law.
Having arrived at an age where lie
can talk a* he pleases, the public con
done vagaries iu Editor Dana that would
not be tolerated in younger men; hence
his dissertations on all sorts of subjects
In the vine that crops out so amusingly
in his manner of moving the world at

ware of women:
The Minnesota bill making It. a misde
meanor fora worn in to appear on the stage
so dressed a* to show the “shape anti form”
of her legs ought logically to go further and,
exclude women from tlie stage altogether
unless they give up their prese »t convi utlon

forbid them to show themselv s iu any pub-
lie p’act whatsoever,
The customary draperies worn by women
ureso arruiged as to exhibit the shape and
form of their physical proportions an I more
particularly of ths.r arms, bus's and hips.
Tliev also make it evident to every observer
that women have legs, and the shape of
;se Is indicated by the shape ot tn*» arms
fully revealed. Frequently in walking
and always In dancing there Is an actual ex
hibition of ankles, at least Hence, whether
women wc.irttght* or thelrconventionai and

the existence of *uch n-ther lunhs as a part

plainly visible. Th-»ydonot hhle the fact,
and therefore, according to the Impllcat'on
ofthe Minnesoto bill, th *y are a'l “guilty of

Tub llow of gold to Europe is in great
er volume than was anticipated when
tho outgo began, hut there seems to be
n> reason for alarm. Wo have tho larg-
4 it stock of the metal in the world and
there Is a sharp demand for It in Eu
rope, owing to the bad financial situa
tion ever there. Gold will stop going
when it is worth as much for immediate
use In this country as In Europe. When
the crops begin to go forward, the gold

Kansas proposes to raise $100,000 by
'popular subscription to make a proper
'exhibit at the-World’s fair. Secretary
Simms, of tho bureau of promotion of
the undertaking of that state, reports
that the movement is going ahead in a
most encouraging manner and lie has no
reason to doubt that the money will ho
raised. And so do tho reports come
from nearly every stato where tho legis
lature failed to mako an appropriation.
Every state should feci* a pride in this
great international show.
Tub appointment of General Manager
Gabbott of tho Central railroad as gen

| condition of their operatives. Does
Mrs. Felton really expect mill officials to
tell her, for publication, the unvarnished
truth about tho morals ? Supposo that
a considerable number of the men wero
drunkards and tho women of lax virtue,
and a mill superintendent should say so
in plain words; what would ho the result
of a publication of such statements ?
The mill would have no end of trouble
with its operatives, and no sensible of
ficial would state tho facts however had
they might he.
Tho fact Is, tho morality of these un
fortunate people Is hardly on a par with
tlielr intelligence and cultivation, and
the observation of scores of people who
have lived In factory towns and aro well
acquainted with the inside of this ques
tion, goes far to provo that Mrs. Felton’s
views aro largely erroneous and that
her zeal is not according to knowledge.
It is to ho regretted that tho facts arc
against Mrs. Felton, for it would ho
better for tho country and for society if
her information was based on facts
which, unfortunately, It Is not
Tho public will watch with growing
intorost tho continuation of this contro

for from It much truth is likely to ho

TIIE SLIPPERY STATESMAN.
I)ld you over consider just what tho
exact status of Mr. Blaine, of Maine, is
in the public estimation ?
When he is sick, then Is ho well; and
when ho is in earnest, then is he per
petuating a joke on somebody.
Mr. Blaine, in this respect, is the most
anomalous character in American poli
tics. With all his distinction and his
brilliant thirty years’ career in public

declares that he is ill, they grope around
to see if it is not a feint to somo deep-
laid purpose.
Perhaps no better example of Mac
Tiik Timkh-Rki oicdkh acknowledges !

the New York Southern Society, which havellian diplomacy in politics has ever

by her temptation of man. Clement,of Alex

Therefore the Minnesota bill )s not a suffi'

prevent the mischief. A more etrectaal way
would bo to shut women up and only let
them out after dark and so clothed as to hide
