Startled at this alarming state of affairs a resi- dent of Nebraska has written to the Philadelphia Press inquiring as to the surplus of females in Pennsylvania which is said to be 10,000 and asking for imformation as to how that surplus could be utilized in his own state. This Nebraska bachelor evidently docsn’t sympathize with the bearded breed of woman suffragists and champions of woman rights. He wants only such females imported to our state as are fitted to make happy homes, and raise healthy families to do honor to the community in which they are brought up.

The anti-monoply meeting in Music Hall last night, like the one recently held in the Cooper Institute, New York, brought men together for a com- mon purposs who have for many years past been able in public matters to do ittle more than agree to disagree. The significance of these gatherings will hardly be overlooked by the shrewd gentlemen whose statesmanship begins and epds with party organization. Ex- perience has taught them to anticipate the smashing of some exlsting picce of political machinery, when mtelli- gent men who have beon acting in op- position ave”drawn_{ogochr by (e feeling that a great public interest is being sacrificed between the apparent- Iy rival but frequently confederated, sets of wire-pullers who operate unde the chief names, Such move ments, lif:nythn against slay either compel an essential change in the attitude of one of the partics, or ultimate in_the rise of a new body composed of elements drawn from the old divisions. The anti-monopoly ag- itation cannot be stopped until the objects u yiew are accomplished. There are no arts of rhetoric or ap- peals to frothy passions which will permanently provail against the deter- mination to subject every corporation in the United States to the commoh welfare. The plan issued is made up, and cannot be obscured. Every day the thoughtful men of the countr: are being brought hnlwu that m ressing than any ather question in SEi e BRI ARG ries 6t the masters or the servants of the public’ To defer the struggle which this injury points to is but to strengthen the evils complained of and perhaps make their eradication impossible. Not to recognize the necessity for the attack is to be blind to the most obvious facts in the legis- lation of our time, The railroad corporations i par- ticular have pressed forward steadily to the goal 2 supremacy over all the other interests centered in our gov- ernment. They own the senate of this state and apparently of the United States. We get whatever legislation they assent to, and none which _they appose. So far, at least, as the inter- commerce of this and the neigh- lths of Pennsyl- boring common vania and New Jersey is concerned, the notion that popular influence shape the laws is a childish delusion. Under such circumstances to talk about putting off the contest till a more ~convenient season, as Mr. Beecher did afewmonthsago, is simply to urge delay in the interest of the enemy. 1f, indeed, the men who appreciate the foothold already secured and the tendency to strengthen it, should postpone the conflict, who will pretend that in the interval the gain would be on the side of the people! It will be easier to effect reform ater the corporations have doubled their wealth, extended their influence into S ted constituencies to cor- ion and terrorism, and made our politicians so familiar with prostitu- tion that those who refuse bribes and denounce the_takers of them will be led as wild theorists or disturbers of a natural arrang No man in his senses can be in_doubt as to the propriety of dealing wi evil now, an rank in our politics. ‘That, at all events, we take it, isthe opinion of the gentleman who have enrolled themselves as members of the Anti-Monopoly.

As we understand it,the | feeling is that the democracy is power- less,and the republicansare bound hand and foot in the service of the monopo- lists. It isat least doubtful whether the democrats, under their present lead ship, can be depended on to do any- thing of an adequate nature.

We shall not at present answer this question, though we have | no hesitation whatever in saying that if this new uprising does not take }.hcu shortly within the democratic old, the party will atan early day be numbered with the things that were. Here are the new issues, and if the democracy canmot deal with them the party must beunceremoniously buried. So far as the republican organiza- tion is concerned, it seewis to us there is little to be hoped for. Tt has had the power and it has systematically used it for the building up of the monopolies. Tt is to-day the avowed ally of every monopoly of importance in the country. Itis at the present moment in_complete charge of the judiciary, the legislative, the execu- tive and the administrative authority of this state, and the spectacle pre- sented 18 that of unprecedented sub- serviency to the Goulds and Vander- bilts of New York. Perhaps in the history of American corruption a more flagrant betrayal of the public interest is not to be found than we had st Albany last week, when for the benefit of the railroads fiftoen republican senators voted against giving the veople an_opportu- nity to say at the polls whether they would make the canale free or not. Hypocrisy, it has been said, is the ‘homage which vice pays to virtue, but even that pretence of defcrence was withheld in this case. The question was whether the people should be per- ‘mitted to exercise their constitutional right to amend the constitution, and upon that fifteen senators voted no, because had the right been’ tended and the decis- ion been for free canals, as in all pro- bability it would,.the railroad com- ies would have been constrained to lower their freight rates.

Men change and parties change, and the jugglery of politics consists in making the mass of men believe that there is no change. This country owes a great debt to the liberty-loving, loy- al men who organizedand, in its young- er days, composed the bulk of the Republican party; but it owes only antagonism to the schemers who now trade upon the name as the pirates of old used to sail under decoy Qur republican friends wi we apprehend, have to make up their minds that the evils which have grown up under the party in power will not be cured till it is overthrown. The very fact that a distinctive movement is being fostered by them is of itself proof that there is something rotten in their political Denmark. Tt ought in this relation to be borne in mind that there is no war proposed upon_carporations as such. These merchants who are most active in_this movement are not blind to the advan- tages which the country ronpa from _corporate oapital justly e war is upon abuses. Its purpose is to make'the man who handles 8100,000,000 of live stock, subject to the law made béy the peaple, as much as the man who transacts the humblest kind of legitimate busines There is nothing proposed that will prevent the building of railroads, or the construction of telegraph lines. What is aimed at is to prevent the controllers of these enterpriscs from emasculasing all the ofher‘enterprises nd industries of the country. No- body desires to see impoverished rai road corporations, or to have those of a fair return on their capital or a reasonable compensation for the risk they run. Indeed, the disposi tion is to exr un the side of gener- y. Tt is however, a different mat- ter when those gorporations are so managed ns to presont the spectacle of fortunes of hundred tof millions wrung by a few men out of the peo- ple assailed with corrupt weapuus, to the end that the work of plunder may go on unchocked. To this it is pro- posed to object. To this objection is decidedly made, and on this line there is going to e a struggle to the carth, if it takes fifty summens. We observe that on the platform last night were such old_time republi- cans as Messrs. L. E. Chittenden, F. B. Thurber, Darwin R. James, John F. Henry and Bernard Peters, side by side with equally old democrats like William Marshall, exJudge Morris and Thomas Kinsella. When veterans of a hundred battles like t] find that the time has come for them to make common causes against a public ene- my, it is evident that “events are in the saddle and ride mankind.” An 01d Norwegian Town. By H. H., in June Atlantia Stavanger is ome of the most ancient towns in Norway. Tt looks as if it were one of the most ancient in the world; its very brightness, with its faded red houses, open windows and rugged pavements being like the color and smile one sees sometimes on a cheerful, wrinkled old face. The houses are packed close together, going up-hill as hard as they can; toofs red tiled; gable-ends red tiled also, which gives a droll eyebrow effect to the ends of the houses, and helps wonderfully to show off pretty faces just beneath them, looking out of windows. ~ All the windows open in the middle, outwards, like shutters; and it would not be much risk to say that there is mnot a flowers. Certainly we did not see one in a three hours’ ramble. From an old watch tower, which stands on the top of the first sharp hill above the arbor, is a sweeping offlook, ses and coastward, to north and south; long promentories, green and curving, with low red roofs here and there, shot up into relief by the sharp con- trast of colo of blue water | breaking in between; distant ranges of mountains glittering white; thousands of islands in sight at once. Stavanger's approach strikes Norway's key: with a bold hand, and old Nor new Norway meet in Stavang ket place. n old cathedral, the oldest but one in the country, looks “[down a little_inner harbor, where lie sloops loaded with gay pottery of shapes and colors copied from the latest patterns out in Staffordshire. These are made by peasants many miles away on_the shores of the fjords— bowls, jars, flower-pots, jugs, and plates, brown, cream-colored, red and white; painted with flowers and dec- orated with Grecian and Etruscan patterns in simple lines. The sloops’ decks are piled high with them - a gay show and an odd enough freight to be at sea ina storm. The sailors’ heads bob up and down among the potsand pans, and the salesman sits flat on the deck, lost from view un- Miraculously cheap this pottery is, as well as fautastic of shape and color; o could fit out his table, off ¥ | one of thse crockery sloops, for next to nothing. Allthe warves were mar- ket stands of all sorts; old women sell- ing fuchsias, myrtles, carrots and cab- bage, and blueberries, all together; piles of wooden shoes, too clumsy things, hollowed out of a single chunk of wood, shaped like a Clinese junk k and coarsely daubed with black paint on the outside: no heel w hold them on, and but little toe. The ket made by shuffling along on avements in them is amazing, and ““down at the heel” becomes a phrase of mew significance, after one has ard the thing done in Normay. The Lobster Business. From “The Lobster at Home,” an an illustrated article by W. H. Bishop, in Seribner for June, we quote the following: “The factory opens at one end on the wharf, close to the water.
