London leads the list of cities in
its number of womeii who are either
domestics or skilled workers. New
York is next. The workingwomen
over fifteen averageabout 300,000 in
New York city, as against 75,000 a-
quarter of a . century ago. There are
probably about 600,000 women . of
working age in a cityjlike New York,
with its 2,000,000, and this shows
that half of them are obliged to toil.
very interesting- editorial, in the
course of which! it says that. Mr- Till
man "takes a position thoroughly in
consistent and untenable. He wishes
to be sent as a Democrat to a Demo-
cratic convention with the avowed
purpose of. bolting that convention if
its action does not please him. He
arrogates to himself-the right to de
fine! what national Democracy means
and what constitutes a .Democrat."
And fuither : -
Mr. Tillman's advice to the Demo
crats )f this State to participate in the
election of delegates to the May con
vention as Democrats and tb send a
delegation to. Chicago that will with'
draw from the convention at his bid
ding, is practically advising: political
perjury, for any man who takes part
in the election of delegates is morally
bound to support the nominees of the
Chicago , convention, whatever' the
platform may be and however op
posed, to their individual Y-evvs-With
Mr. Tillman's individual opm
ions and intentions we have nothing
to do. If he sees fit to- desert the
Democratic party because its financial
platform does I not accord with his
vieys of what it should be, Jet him do
so. He has that privilege, but he
has no right to Jd rag the South Caro
lina Democracy! with him and attempt
to make them; politically, dishonest
by pledging 'themselves to a party
and its nominees, and then forsaking

A correspondent of the Lexington
Dispatch writes : "If the next Gener
al Assembly would reduce the Code
to the size of Webster's blue-back
spelling book and j simplify the
laws within comprehension of an or
dinary English scholar, and then pass
a law that the legislature should not
meet again in twenty years, I predict
upon this hypothesis that the State
would bloom with prosperity from
Mitchell V Peak to the Frog Pond."
There may be some fun in farm-

ing in Kansas, but there is not much
money judging from the 'following
quotations of prices at some points :
corn, 18 cents a bushel, oats 12
cents, potatoes 25 cents, butter 9
cents a pound, eggs 7 cents a dozen,
Of course people who get such prices
as these are clamerous foi the contin
uance of the present gold standard,
and would not have anything else for
the world; If prices went up they
might not eat as' much of their pro
duce as they do and'might not be so
fat and saucy, says the Wilmington

in Frank Leslie"s Popular Monthly is
continued in the March number with
a picturesque and superbly illustrated
paper devoted to Major ueneral
Henry Lee, ot Revolutionary fame.
This is "the dashing dragoon and

contemporaries and the father of
General Robert E. Lee." Other il

In ' Mecklenburg j county, North
Carolina, the systematic improvement
of roads -has been in progress for
nearly fifteen years.' . The general
plan adopted was to start at the city
limits cf the county seat and to grade
and macadam all public roads from
this point cut towards the township
and county limits. These roads
have a width of forty feet for the
first two miles fromjthe city limits
and beyond this point a width of thirty-six
feet. The average cost of
these roads, including the macadam
izing and grading, is about $2,000 a
mile. Much oi the road building in
this county is done by convicts. The
, average number of convicts employ
ed 80, and the average cost of this
labor per convict, including food,
clothing, medical j attention ' and
guards, is from 20 to 25 cents a day.
BOLTING AS CONSIDERED IN TWO
STATES.
j
Senator Tillman, of South Caroli
na, has published a letter re-asserting
his intention to bolt the Chicago con
vention and leave the Democratic
party unless it declares for the free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1, '-the is
sue of all paper money by the gov
ernment in sufficient volume, and a
system of banking which will provide
against the concentration and conges
tion of money in the large cities to
the detriment and ruin of the coun
try." The Spartanburg Herald," an
earnest free coinage paper and a sup
porter of Senator Tillman as against
Senator Irby, reviews this letter in a
does not intend to abide the result of
the Chicago, convention and to sup
port its nominees."
To bur minds the position taken by
our Spartanburg contemporary is in
controvertible. Contrary propositions
were never offered : by honest men
anywhere Until, in the Carolinas,
within the past few months. And
pet, Senator Tillman's standard of
political morality is higher than that
set up in this State lately by some
men of hitherto unquestionable stand
ing. He at least has the , grace to
say that after he has: failed of his
purpose at Chicago, and bolted he
will leave the; Democratic party.
That will be a great deal better than
still professing I himself a member of
it and seeking to direct its politics
after ' having defied its authority.
Those who remain true to it have a
perfeqt .right to ask that those who,
do not shall go oft and let them alone
Senator Tillman recognizes , this right
and announces I his purpose to quit
go to
suit
the camp unless things
him. He is to this extent to be com
mended, though he would be entitled
to yet a greater approbation if he
should, as a good ; Democrat, submit
his will, to that of. thefmajority of his
party. .' ' .
Above everything else 'in ftorth
Carolina to-day - looms this question'
of the preservation of the Democrat
ic party. We hope this menance has
passed ; that the party will not be
further threatened with an entanolinp
alliance, such as it so indignantly and
so justly denounced .two years ago
neither that it will be further threat
ened with a policy of perfidy at Chi
cago! It were infinitely better that
the dominant element send ; no dele
gates there at all, for they would thus
at least save the State's honor in the
eyes of the Union ; or if thev are de
termined to do their worse, why
should they yet want to call them
selves the Democratic party after for
mal and deliberate renunciation of it ?
There is hope J of a tree it it be cut
down that it will spring up again, but
there is no hope if it be pulled up by
the rodts. Likewise there is hope
of a party in defeat and tinder 4he
shadow of displeasure, if only its con
science is clear, its morale intact, and,
strong in the strength that virtue
gives, it is able to stand up and look
ail the world irithe face. Charlotte
