AN 01 HER BRANCH OF THE LABOR
QUESTION.
While the Labor Congress was considering a
multitude of problems which it was unable to
solve, in this city, Miss eecher was calling
th attention of the National Educational
Convention at Trenton to the importance of
securing for women a better training in the
arts for which they are specially adapted than
that they now usually receive. In taking this
ground she advanced ideas which are applica
ble to boys or young men, as well as girls or
young ladies, and incidentally directed atten
tion to a duty which is often fearfully ne
glected. Every right-feeling parent recognizes that
in his own experience the sense of ability to
support himself, to win his own bread by his
own labor, has really been the mainspring of
his happiness. It may be called very "plaiu
talk," but it is true that the .comfort of every
day life arises very much from the security of
the moiTow, and the possession of a trade at
one's fingers' ends is better for practical pur
poses than any amount of sermonizing upon
faith or inculcation of patience.
It was said of old that no human parent
would give his son a stone when he begged
for bread, but what is the food now offered to
the insatiate cravings of the rising genera
tion ? Fathers who have dined on husks and
found them wholesome, too often offer thuir
children unlimited cakes and ale.
This short-sighted soft-heartedness is really
criminal weakness. The harsh discipline of
former times has passed away; the father has
no longer the life and death of his child in
bis hand in its most obvious significance of
absolute authority, but in a higher sense both
life and death are under his control, because
he must guide the youth in preparation for
both.
'Our daily bread" is the first petition
taught to us. Divine authority has bidden us
to ask for it, even before praying for moral
support in the daily warfare with evil. The
parent has received a delegated authority
which brings with it a similar obligation, and
that indulgence which enfeebles the child and
renders him helpless and dependent is a direct
violation of the prescribed duty.
The rights of labor are being widely dis
cussed; but deeper still, and of mure vital
importance, is the right and ability to labor,
"liy the sweat of thy brow thou shalt earn
thy bread," was pronounced as a curse, that
it might become a necessity of our being, and
its blessing.
The vicissitudes of this life are such that
the millionaire of to-day is the beggar of to
morrow, ltiches indeed have wings, and the
only certain treasure to be laid up on earth is
that moral, mental, and physical training
which creates a creature so far independent of
circumstances that ho will not starve when
unsuccored by the hard-won money of others.
An application of these general doctrines to
the prevailing social and industrial system
quickly exposes one of the most fruitful
causes of want, scarcity, and crime. Year
after year the proportionate number of idle
and helpless members of society increases. In
former times, in this country, almost every
young man and every young woman was able
when in good health to earn their living,
cither by a direct encounter with tne world,
or by services rendered under the parental
roof. Now the idle and unproductive classes
can be counted by millions, and the taxes im
posed by laziness and inefficiency on those
who really strive to make headway far excead
the burdens created by the national and mu
nicipal debts and expenditures.
The women complain of the lack of oppor
tunities for labor; and yet how rare it is to
find a really good dressmaker, a first-rate
nurse, an excellent cook, or a well-trained
servant! In the whole labor-field allotted
under the old social system to women fearful
gaps still exist, notwithstanding the importa
tion of hundreds of thousands of servant
girls from Germany and Ireland, and the
chief obstacle to the extension of women's
sphere of labor must be found in their own
neglect to qualify themselves properly and
fully for the discharge of the contemplated
duties. There are brilliant exceptions to this
rule, and where women have taken pains to
become superior school-teachers, physicians,
clerks, designers, actresses, or authors, they
have rarely or never failed to secure liberal
pecuniary rewards. All the reformatory mea
sures in the world will not compel the com
munity to willingly pay large wages for infe
rior or useless service. Those who perpetu
ally "agitate" such subjects do no practical
good for themselves unless they follow agita
tion as a means of livelihood, while the quiet
woman who industriously and persistently
qualifies herself for any pursuit within the
range of her powers, is on the sure highway
to pecuniary independence.
In some respects the boys and young men
of this generation are in even a worse plight
than their sisters. The professions are al
ready overcrowded, and now the demand goes
un from trades unions that no apprentices
shall be received. Tuzzled fathers, encouu
tering difficulties on every hand, postpone
from time to time a final decision in regard to
the future pursuit of their sons, and as the
years glide swiftly by, the stripling emerges
from vouth into manhood, before he has re
- i
ceived the slightest preparation for an en
counter with the world.
When he seeks employment he finds , that
the easy places, which anybody can fill, are
crowded to repletion; that a hundred appli
cants flrrty every proffered clerkship, ami
a hundred clamorous place-hunters ask for
every office. Meanwhile he finds good, use
ful, reliable workmen at nearly all times
scarce. They can fix their own wages by a
"strike," and obtain steady situations when
ever they desire them.
The inevitable deduction from this condi
tion of affairs is, that the means of practical
instruction in useful arts for boys as well as
girls should be greatly extended. It matters
little whether Young America can jabber
French or Latin, if he knows how to build
houses or make shoes; and a knowledge of
household affairs will prove more useful to
young ladies, no matter what mav bo their
future position in life, than all the accom
plishments they can acquire. If they get both
it is well, but if either must be dispensed
with, let it bo that portion of their training
which tends to intensify their helplessness.
THE CITY TRUSTS BOARD.
The passage of a law placing the ad
ministration of nil the trusts held by the
city in the hands of a board of gentlemen to
consist of the Mayor, the Presidents of Select
nnd Common Councils, and twelve citizens to
be selected by the judges of the different
courts, was heartily approved by citizens of
all parties, except the members of the diffe
rent rings who had an interest in
the mismanagement of the funds
entrusted to the city for specific uses.
It was everywhere felt that to
allow greedy politicians to control any longer
the enormous wealth represented by the vari
ous trusts held by the city would be a scan
dal and disgrace, and that the only way in
which an honest administration could be se
cured would be by removing them out of the
sphere of party politics altogether, and
placing them in the hands of men of well
known probity of character, who would be
above suspicion. The benefits of such an
arrangement as this has been shown in other
cases, and as our courts are at present consti
tuted, with an able and honest judiciary,
public opinion generally designated the
judges as the proper persons to appoint such
persons to manage the trusts as would be in
every way desirable. In compliance with the
terms of the law, therefore, the judges met
on Saturday, and made the following appoint
ments: Chief Justice Thompson named Henry M.
Thillips, Judge Read named William 15.
Mann, Judge Agnew named William
Welsh; Judge Sharswood named Edward King;
Judge Williams named Gus. S. Reuson; Judge
Thayer named Alexander Riddle; Judge Alli
son named C. II. T. Collis; Judge Rrewster
named George II. Stuart: Judge Ludlow
named Jas. Campbell: Judge Hare named J. H.
Michener; Judge l'eirco named J. G. Fell:
Judge Allison named James L. Claghorn for
Judge Stroud, who refused to make any no
mination. Of the twelve trustees thus ap
pointed, Messrs. Phillips, King, and Camp
bell are Democrats, and the other nine are
Republicans. This board is entirely satisfac
tory in all respects, with but two exceptions,
and these are the appointees of Judges Real
and Allison.
Mr. Phillips is well known as an able lawyer
and a gentleman of high character. Mr.
Welsh is a merchant, and has an unimpeach
able reputation; Judge Edward King is an
able lawyer and is considered a valuable
member of the board: Messrs. Renson and
Riddle are brokers, well known as liberal and
public-minded citizens; Mr. Stuart is a
wealthy merchant, and is known to the public
as an active agent in tlie promotion ot reli
gious and charitable enterprises; Judge James
Campbell was formerly Postmaster-General:
Mr. Michener is a member of the firm of J.
II. Michener & Co.; Mr. Fell is a merchant
who has always taken a great interest in
public affairs without becoming a politician,
and the same may be said of Mr. Claghorn,
the President of the Commercial Rank.
Mr. Mann is well known as the friend of
Judge Allison, and Mr. Collis, although the
fact may not be generally known, is the pro
tege of Judge Reed. Judge Allison, it will be
seen, appoints the friend of Judge Reed, and
the compliment is returned by Judge Reed
appointing tne menu oi juuge Allison, a
pleasant little arrangement that the public
generally will scarcely approve of very
heartily. e have nothing whatever to say
at present about the ability, legal or other
wise, of Messrs. Maun and Collis, but it is
certain that they are not the proper men to
place on such a board as this, if for no other
reason than that they are generally unpopular
and that they have not the confidence of the
community at large. Messrs. Maun and Collis
have extended reputations as political wire
pullers, and whether this reputation is de
served or not; it will materially impair their
usefulness as administrators of the city trusts,
and will place all the transactions of the
board under a cloud of suspicion. Should
the board not meet the expectations of the
public, should by any chance its administration
of the city trusts be considered blameworthy,
Messrs. Fell, Claghorn, Stuart, Welsh, and
their associates will be likely to escape eeii
sure until it is proved conclusively that they
are in lauit, wmie public opinion will from
the first point to Messrs. Mann and Collis as
the creators of difficulty, and upon them will
be imposed the task of vindication.
une great ooject mat was Had in view in
the creation of this Roard of Trustees was to
take the management of the trust out of the
hands of just such men as William R. Mann
and CLarles 11. '1. (Joins. Judge Read and
Judge Allison knew this perfectly well, and
their appointment of these persons is a delibe
rate violation oi tne commence reposed in
mem. mere are plenty oi lawyers in
the city of Philadelphia as loarnad
and as astute as either of the above
individuals named, who have never soiled
their reputations by descending into the dirty

all classes of life, who are fully capable
every way, and who would have given satis
faction to the public. The politics of the
various trustees in a matter of socoadury im-
portance, provided the men themselves are of
the right stamp. That Messrs. Mann and
Collis are Republicans is nothing in thoir
favor; and while we would prefer to have the
majority of the board Republicans, it would
be better in every jray to have upon it Demo
crats who will command the confidence of all
partios than Republicans who make a trade
of politics, and m whom nobody has c-
TIIE CRA CO IV HORROR.
The case of Barbara Ubryk, who was recently
released from confinement in a Carmelite
nunnery at Cracow, has already become his
toric. The story of her sufferings, as we
have published it bv extracts from our for-
eiirn exchanges, is so heartsickeuing that it
borders on the incredible, and for the sake of
humanity it is to be hoped that the writers
who have attempted to portray the horrors of
that living grave have boon led astray by
their zeal in the cause of sensationalism.
But the facts that the accounts given in the
papers of Catholic Austria and Protestant
England are essentially the same, and that the
persecutors of the unfortunate woman have
as yet found no open apologists, leaa us
reluctantly to the belief that the story as we
have given it is essentially correct.
The main bearing of any discussion ot tne
case is its effect upon the whole monastic
system of the Austrian empire. Jiappny
there is no issue involved between Catholi
cism and Protestantism as rival phases of
Christianity. Austria is essentially a Roman
Catholic country, and the warfare which is
now being waged against the Carmelite nun
nery of Cracow is apparently confined within
the limits of the Church to which the institu
tion owes allegiance. The Austrian Minister
of Public Worship, who certainly is, or ought
to be, a devout Catholic, desires the opinion
of the Bishop having jurisdiction over the
establishment "as to whether the maintenance
of the nunnery is desirable, even on behalf
of the Church itself," and expresses the belief
that "under the most favorable hypothesis,
no good work can be expected from it for
many years."
The discovery in some of the recesses
of the building, subsequent to the release of
the imprisoned nun. of certain instruments of
torture, has, it would seem, decreed the fate
of the institution, even though it should be
proven that they had been rusting in idleness
for centuries. And when this one institution
is dismantled, the whole system receives a
shock which, while it may not operate to en
tirely undermine it, will tend to render im
possible for all time to come the perpetration
of such brutal outrages as are said to have
marked the miserable career of Barbara
Ubryk. This will result, as all right-minded
people can not but acknowledge, in a positive
gain to the Church and in extending widely
the sphere and influence of the different re
ligious bodies.
Whatever may have been the moral or
mental condition of the unfortunate woman
when she was first immured in her cell, the
only accounts which have thus far reachod us
show that at the time of her release her reason
had been entirely unsettled, and that such
had, in all probability, been her state for
years, m tins view ot tne case, tne treat
ment to which she was subjected was utterly
inexcusable. Her evident insanity was made
an excuse for continuing the restraint in
which she had been placed, and one of the
nuns whose testimony has been made public,
and who had frequently acted as superior of
the convent, apologized for it on the ground
that there was a hope that the prisoner would
in time become calm and composed. Yet the
marked change which has been noted
in her demeanor since her re
moval to a regular lunatic asylum
(-.hows how utterly groundless was this hope,
how radically wrong the course pursued by
the authorities of the nunnery, even when
we give them credit for being actuated solely
by a desire to prevent their victim from in
flicting injury upon herself and others, and
to bring about a speedy restoration of her
mental faculties. Under the class of treat
ment which experience has demonstrated to
be the best for persons of shattered intellect,
Barbara Ubryk has gradually been trans
formed from the wild and slavering idiot
which her filthy, sunless cell revealed, into a
cleanly, harmless, and melancholy woman.
Both the moral and mental aspects of her
case are not without a lesson to the world at
large, and to the Church in particular, and
the result of the exposure of her sufferings
will react quite as beneficially upon the
Church as upon the victim of the Cracow
nuns.
SABJiA Til HOSPITALITIES.
"Brooklyn may be the city ot cnurcues,
said a cultured foreigner while in this coun
try, several years since; "but Philadelphia is
decidedly the city of church-going people."
At half-past four o'clock yesterday (Sunday)
morning, say our local columns, a general
alarm was sounded by the fire-alarm tele-
craph, and Captain Shaw, of the London i ire
Brigade, was given an exhibition ot tne skil
ful workings of the Fire Department. Phila
delphia is a big city, and the incontestable
proof of her bigness is this ability to skill ully
cater to diff erent tastes. To be iranK, a cruie
might point out a few omissions in yester
day's exhibition, but what matters that when
Cantain Shaw, a true Briton, "expressed him
self highly pleased with the performance."
"Seventy companies with alertness and
promptness" "blocked up the neighborhood
of Broad and Button wood streets;" but only
one engine gave a practical sample of what
the boys could do. Through some mishap a
good fire was not arranged, and it is modestly
suggested that in a subsequent "perform
ance" this oversight should be rectified. The
practical efficiency of the department through
out can be truthfully attested from personal
experience. Not a sleeper within a radius of
half a mile from the well-selected, because
densely-inhabited, point of observation but
was awakened to the audible consciousness
i that our firemen were alert and going to
1 work.
For one, Chief Engineer George Downey,
deserves and has won notoriety for this "per
formance." As Chairman of the Committee
on Reception, he tendered the hospitalities of
the city on Saturday afternoon; in company
with other "notables" "he graced the table'"
at the hospitable banquet, and contributed an
address at these international stivities; as
Chief Engineer, Marrangedaud gave orders
for the general alaVm: andit seems almost
beyond cavil that itsWho wondrous concep
tion sprang from his Wn, as Minerva in old
times from Jupiter's overburdonod temples.
Thanks to his energy, svme of tho companies
had a chance ttC makeery good time, and
thus a Sabbath' that bidair to have some
dreary, jog-trot features about it was enlivened.
Citizens who have lookedupon tho almost
empty reservoirs of the Schuylkill, and manu
facturers who last week suspended their mills
at a loss of tens of thousands of dollars of
productive industries, are eucouraged to
believe things cannot be so bad when the
Philadelphia Engine showed what a grand
stream it could throw, being fraternally sup
plied by the Pennsylvania and Amftrici Hose
Companies. And as for the staid church
going people, who in nearly every church
that held service yesterday offered up wor
shipful petitions to tho Almighty fW bountiful
showers of rain to avert an impending disaster
that may yet befall should their prayers not
be speedily answered, they need not look far
to nna a plain reason.
In the name of the Christians of Philndol-
V
hia, who have made this city a real synonym
or brotherly love and codlv deeds, and in
for
the name of Him not a jot of whose word
passes away, and who says, "Righteousness
