He Needed an Incentive.

Washington Territory republicans have a factional fight on hand. The New York Sun says there are 40,000 working women in New York Cityfreceiving wages so low that they must embrace vice, apply for charity or starve. A medical authority says that if every grown person would drink a glass of water before breakfast every morning and every child an amount proportionate to its age, it would do more to prese/ve health than all the laxatives known. Mr. Voorhees should, at an earlyday, give 'he radical animals another shaking up. His Bloomfield speech caused such an uproar in their camp, that it is enjoyable fun for Democrats. A year ago farmers cc uld get 18 pounds of sugar for a dollar.— Now they get 10 pounds for that price, the sesult of the election of Harrison, and ths boom given thereby to the principle of protection, combines and trusts.

Billy Owen has been directed by the Republican National Committee to proceed to the great sugar district of Louisiana where General Minor, a southern Republican, is making the race for Congress at a special election.— He is required to advocate the necessity of a sugar tariff, and pledge republican support of that principle. If the working men o the sugar district of Louisiana ai e wise they will pay no heed to th fc syren s ng which led the laborers in the “pr< tected in .ustries” of his and other states to their ruin.

Mi. Shields gets back at MrPowell this week. His rejoinder uncovers the points; That the language employed by Mr. Powell, in his communication, is in harmony with his assault upon old man Graham; that the use of it 800 miles away is no evidence of courage; that the assaulted party was punished while the one who committe d the assault was permitted to go. free. He reitererates the charge of bo*sts made by Mr P., but does net disputable qualifications for the position to which he has been appointed, not knowing the nature of the services required. Mr. Shields comes squarely to the front; calls no one “a coward and a liar”—in fact there is nothing to indicate that he ever took a a course in the a la Sullivan de partment of education.

Thera is a m n in Elkhart who, according to the Review, before building and loan associations were started there, spent for drink ail his money, aside from what wa.j absolutely necessary to the bare support of his family. He worked hard and his family had no social standing. He was finally induced to take stock in one of the associations and endeavor-to secure a home. The result was that when he found himself obliged to save a certain sum monthly to pay his building and load c ues, he did so, and entirely quit drinking. That was several years ago, and to-day he has one of the most attractive homes in the city, he puts in all his spare time beautifying it, and his family is highly respected and would noi be known as the family of old.
