Thoy Have tlio l'lglit Well In Hand nnil the Outlook Is llrlght. B. Umuld : It appear singular that the Damooiatle leaden should manifest so muoh concern about tlio tloket nominated at the CHItens primaries, and subsequently on doned by tlio Republican. Upon second thought, howevor, It is not so singular as at first supposed. It will be remembered that til defeat of the Citlsens last year was at tributed to the dlsadTantage in marking tlio ballots. The voter who desired to voto tho 01 tlseus tickets was compelled to place a mark opposite each candidate's name, while the Deniocratlo voter inoroly placed a cross In tho circle at tho head of the column. This Is an advantage thoy will not have this time ; ami hence their dlsoomforturo. V The fact that the CI tf sens ticket has been endorsed by tho Republicans is an evidence Of the popularity of the candidates. Hut this is generally acknowledged, and I opine hundreds of Democrats will be in the "en dorsing" business on Tuesdty next. They recognize that an improvement In the local government can be brought about only In tho election of competent borough oltlclals. There can bo no question as to the superiority of the Citizens candidates in this respect over that of their Democratic op ponents. I havo nothing to say detrimental to tho Democratlo candidates as private citizens; but tho people have a right to question the lltnees or any candidate for publio oillce. In doing this it is not necessary to resort to abuse nor misrepresentation; thntis tho stock In trade of tho ward heeler and political trIOKsler. Much Is hoard of what our friends on the other sldo term "tho hybrid ticket," moan ing, of course, the endorsement of the Citizens ticket by tho Republicans. Let us Inquire into this phnso of tho canvass a littlo further. Some of tho Democrats who ser iously object to giving tho Republicans tho right to voto for or ondorse whom they ploaso are quite prominent in the movement to have tho Republican county convention endorso a Democrat for Judgo next fall. Suppose tho Republicans of Shenandoah had en dorsed the Domooratio borough ticket, would tho aforesaid Democratic tloket be a "hybrid ticket?" I guess not. The Democrats of the Third word, on ono or two occasions, endorsed certain candidates on the Citizens ticket. Was that a "hybrid ticket?" You see, dear reader, it depends upon whose ox is being gored", and the Democratic ox has received so many fatal lunges In this campaign that some of tholr leaders are excusablo for their acts of omission and commission. ... I think it was stated In my last communi cation that every assertion mado by your Humble servant could bo vonfled, if necessary. That statement is as truo ns gospel. My at tention was drawn to an article from tho pen of tho "managing editor" of tho News, In which the editor in quostion, new to jour nalistic fame, unbosoms himself in the fol lowing language; "Thoro is scarcely a word of truth in tho wholorotteu composition. Every body knows this.' ' This was in denial of. my first communication, In which It w.s assorted that an effort was mado to not Councilman Hand to withdraw, and upon refusal tho leaders endeavored to doreat him at tho pri maries, all this In tho Interest of Rritt, can didate for School Director ; also that a candi- date for School Director, who in tho event of his election would probably bo an applicant lor jir. Manna s position as secretary, was withdrawn and another candidato brought lorth. Let's sco I Perhaps the aforesaid editor could verify thoso statements. Does ho re member hearing a romark made to a prom inent Democrat tho latter supposed to eschow political activity which ran in this wise : "Is that on lid Ida te qualified for Secretary and will he be an applicant? If so, he must be pulled off, as you know Frank must be taki ncareof." And, behold, the gentleman In qui-siiuu withdrew from tho fight. This "managing viiitur" had a fluger in tho pie. too. I can give the nainiw and date, but by uoing so l might eiuliii the position held by one of tho parties to the conversation, unu (ins 1 uo noi care to 110. bo there is 11 word of truth" In tho statements made, after all. V I am of tho opinion that Councilman Hand can furnish the "Doubting Thomases" with any information they want in his case. If not, my informant can. And as to the Third ward, why tho evidence Is oven hang ing on the trees. V My idontlty 1 also the bono of contention ; but to mako you and I, Mr. Mdltori appear In tho rolo of Dr. Jcklyn and Mr. Hyde Is ridiculous on its faco. I appreciate tho honor tho aforesaid editor confers upon mo, but If they are so anxious to know your humble servant, thoro arc several Democrats who might enlighten them upon the identity of Rex. lilckort's Cafe.

A matter of this kind Is bound to be appreciated by tho people and if the FAMOUS continues to sell cheap, which they certainly will, they will mako a success. What the people want in these hard timos, is to get the best article for as littlo money as posslbloatid that tho FAMOUS are doing.

At IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS I The School Board of tbe Borough of Shen andoah, through It undersigned finance committee, desire to submit the following statement in connection with tbe proposed in crease of the bonded indebtedness of the school district, and which the voter of the borough will be called upon to decide at the borough election to be held on the 10th Inst.:- Wlthln the past Ave year the School Board ha erected three new and commodious school buildings, which have been con structed on the most improved plan and are In every way a credit to the town. These new structures, together with tho ground upon which they are erected, and the In terior furnishings, have cost the Board about $80,000 and are located in the most promi nent and thickly populated parts of the borough, vis : West street, just south of Centre; comer of Jardin and Cherry streets; White street, between Centre and Lloyd streets. The erection of these additional buildings became an absolute necessity, by reason of the great steady increase In the population of the borough and the desire of the people to keep tbe curriculum of the schools, a It al ways L as been, second to none In the state. This growth of attendants aud fidelity to the welfare of the cause of public education has led to the establishment of more teachers, Improvement In heating and ventilating methods In class rooms, the addition of ad vanced and modern studies in all branches, and a general source of outlay far in ox cess of what was required in the public school system In earlier years. Moreover the school term has been increased, within recent years, from nine to ten months and the free text book law has caused an additional annual expenditure of considerable proportions. All these sources of increased indebtedness have been met successfully until the present year, when tho Sohool Board found Itself confronted with tho problem as to whether all Its efforts of the past should go for naught and tho schools left in a crowded condition, or whether the peoplo should be asked to pro vide funds with which to relieve thepressure. Tho School Board lias the power to add sev eral mills to It present tax rate, and had the power to do so last Spring, but with confi dence in tho peoplo's pride In the cause of publio education, it was concluded to erect another school building (the one on White street) and trust to tho good faith of the people to meet tho cost. In addition to this it iaa hecomo ovidont that to afford suitablo accommodations for the pupils and teachers of the High school, and therefore maintain tho standard, an addition to tho structure must ho erected. Tho School Board is now carrying a float ing Indebtedness of fiO.000, created mainly by tho erection and furnishing of the now school building on Whito street. There aro but two ways in which this Indebtedness cau be met, viz : By an Increase In the tax rate. or the iseuanco of bonds. With conlidenco In the intelligence of tho taxpayers and their ability to understand that the latter is the simplest, easiest and best method by wmcli to meet tbo obligation, tbo School Board of the borough of Shenandoah, through its undersigned finance committee, asks that tho application for a $26,000 in crease In tho bonded indebtedness of tho school district be sustained at the borough olectiou to be held on Tuesday, 10th Inst.

NKW YOBK STflTISTIGS OF LRBOH I An Interesting: Chapter Regarding Work and Wages. INCREASE OF FEMALE WORKERS. In the Seeade Ending With 1890 the In eraase of Female laborers Was 3 46 Per Cent., While Male Laborers Decreased 2.4G Per Oent. in the Same Period. Wshlngton, Feb. 12. The 11th an nual report of the department of labor. Just transmitted to congress by Com mlf8loner Wright, relates entirely to the work and wages of men, women and children. It shows that the pro portion of women to the whole work ing class is increasing, while that of children Is decreasing. The report was prepared in pursuance of a Joint reso lution of congress directing an Inves tigation relative to the employment of men, woman and children. This report is confined strictly to a comparison of the extent of employment and wages in 1895-96, or "present period," with the conditions which pertained some years (termed "former period") ante dating the present period by at least ten years. The definite purposes of the investi gation were to determine to what ex tent, If any. women were superseding men; to show the conjugal condition of the women who v-e employed; to compare the relative iffltlency of men and women, and finally to show the relative rates of wages received by each sex in each industry. The agents of the departments se cured Information from 1,067 establish ments of various kinds, located In 30 different states, and employing 148,867 persons. The complete data sought for was obtained from only 931 establish ments. These 931 establishments em ployed 61,660 persons In the formnfj.:iil 108.648 In the present period. Ot this number, In the first period, 2G.479 were males 18 years of age or over, against 43,195 In the second; r.nd t.lT.'i males under 18 years of age, as against 7,640 In the second. In the first period 27,103 were females 18 years of age and over, and 6,743 females under 18 years years of ace, as against 46,162 and 12,761, respectively, In the present pe riod. From these flcureB It Is seen that male employes 18 years of age or over Increased in the present period over the former period 63.1 per cent., while female employes of the same age in creased 66.3 per cent. Male employes under 18 years of age increased 80.6 per cent., while female employes under 18 years o age Increased 80.1 per cent. As collateral Information an Inter esting showing is made of the figures of the past three census cone.lng the employment ot women. Thr, oportlon of females 10 years of are and over employed In all occupations In the United States rose in its relation to the whole number employed from 14.68 Ier cent, in 1870 to 17.22 per cent, in 1890, while males decreased in propor tion from 86.32 per cent, in 1870 to 82.78 per cent, in 1890. The report throws considerable light upon the much discussed question as to married women In industrial pur suits. For the present period out of an aggregate of 79,987 women 70,921, or 88.7 per cent, were single; 6,776, or 8.5 per cent marled; 2,011, or 2.6 pr cent divorced, and 244, or 3-10 of 1 per cent unknown. The last census figures on this point are alno analyzed. Of the 3,914,871 females ten years of age and over engaged In gainful pursuits in the United States In 1880 69.81 per cent were single, or their conjugal condl iion unKnown; ls.iu per cent were married, 16.10 per oent were widowed, and 90 per cent were divorced. In 466 of the establishments canvassed the agents secured data as to the rela tive efficiency of women and children, and of men working at the same occu pations. Of 782 instances in which men and women work at the same oc cupation, and perform their work with the same degree of efficiency, men re ceive greater pay in 696, or 76.1 per cent or the instances, and women re celved greater pay In 129, or 16.6 per cent, while in 58 Instances, 7.4 per cent, they receive the same pay for the same work. The men receive 60.1 per cent greater pay than the women in the 696 instances in which they are given greater pay, -while the women receive but 10.2 per cent greater pay In the 129 Instances in whloh they are paid higher wages. Out of the 228 instance in which men and children (persons under 18 years of age) work at the same occu pation with a like degree of efficiency men receive greater pay In 182, or 79.8 per cent of the instances, and children receive greater pay In 24, or 10.5 per oent, while in 22 instances, or 9.7 per cent, they receive the same for the same work, performed with the same ree of efflclenry. The men receive " 7 ce"t Ble,r pay than the chlN dren In the 182 Instances In which they are paid more, while the children rectlve but 6.6 per cent greater pay In the 24 Instances in which they are paid higher wages. The main reason given for the em ployment of women and girls is us ually that they are better adapted for the work at which they are employed. Other rearonH are that they are more reliable, irore e.ud'.y controlled, cheap er, more temperate, more easily pro curable, neater, more rapid, more In dustrious, leas liable to strike, learn more rapidly, etc. On the other hand, the reasons given by those who did not believe that there was any tenden oy for the employment of women to Increase their lnduntrlet) were that very often women, who are better adapted and cheaper, are unreliable; that their physical Htrength Is Inade quate for heavy work, tnat machin ery is gradually dluplaUiiK them, etc. A lady at a ball called her beau au Indian because he was on her trail all the time.
