SONG OF THE SHIRT. R-v, Dr. Talmsge'g Elcqnont Sermon ? 11 Wornau'a Work. Brooklyn, June 3 - -IIdv. T. De Witt Talmage, who is now on hi3 roucd the world journev, has chosen as the subject for today "Martyrs cf the Neeclr," the text being Matthew s:s, 24, "It ia easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Whether this ':eje of the needle" be ?k? orr\oll crof? Qt. fhft of the b)ST fell WO ?"*?" fa-? ? - V trarcs of the wall of tbe ancient city, us is generally interpreted, or the eye of a needle such as is now handled in sewicg a garment I do not say. In either case it would be a tight thing for a catcel to go through the eye of a needle. But there are whole caravas s of fatigues and hardships going through tbe eye of tbe sewing woman's needle. Very Icng ago the needle was busy. It was considered honorable for women to toil in olden time. Alexander the Great stood in his palace showing garments made by his ow n mother. Ttie finest tapestries at JBajeux were m-ide h by the qaeen of William the Conqueror. Augustus, the emperor, would noL wear any garment except those that were fashioned by some member of his royal family. So let the toiler eyery wuere be reepectec! The greatest blessing that coald have fe " happened to our first parents was being turned cut of Eden after they had done wrong. Adam and Eve, in their perfect state, might have got along withe ut work, or only euch slight employ m;nt as a perfect . garden, with no weeds in it, demanded. But as soon as they had shinned the test thinor fnr them was to he turned sut where they weald have to woik We know what a withering thing it is for a man to have nothing to do. Good oW Ashtel Green, at fourscore years, waen asked why he kept on working, said, "I do so to beep out oi mischief." We see that a man who bas a largs amcunt of i| money to start with has no chance. 01 thft thnnsnnd nrosDercns and honorable men that you know, 999 had towoik vigorously at the biginaing. Bat I am now tell jou that indu3iry is }08t as important for a woman's safely. ty and happiness. The moat unhappy women in our communities today are those who have no eDgasemeats to call them op in the mornin?, who, once having risen and breakfasted, louche through the duli forenoon in slippers dorrn at the heel and with disheveled ba.f, reading the last novel, and who, having dragged through a wretched forenoon and taken their afternoon sleep, and having spent an hour and a half at their toilet, pick up their cardcase anil go out to make i-?^ ? calls, and who pass their evenioirs wait ing for somebody to come in and break i up tbp monotony. Arabella Stuart never was imprisoned in eo dark a dungeon ' as that. r There is no happiness in an idle woman. It may be with hand, it may be with brain, it may be with foot, but work she most or be wretched forever. The little girls of our families must be started wilh that idea. The curse ct oui American society is that cur young women are taught that the first, second, third, lourth fifth. RTJtth. seventh. tenth, fiftieth. thousandth thing in their life is to get somebody to take care of theu). Instead of that, the first lesson should be how under God, they may take care of themselves. The simple fact 13 that a majority of tbem do have to take care of themselves, and that, too, after having, through the false notions cf their parents, wasted the years in which they ought to have learned how successfi0*? to maintain themselves. We now and here declare the inhumanity, ciusity and outrage of that father and mother who pass their daughters into womanhcod, p?r having given them no facility for earning their livelihood. Mme. de Stael said, "It is not these writings that I am pioud of, but the fact that I have facility in 10 occupations, in 3ny one of whic.i I could mak a livelihood." You say you have a fortune to leave them. O man and woman, have you cot learned that, like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and flyaway? Though jou should be successful in leaving a competency behind ~ you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night, or some elders or deacons of our churches may get np a fictitious company and induce ycur orphans to put their money into it and if it be lost nrove to them that it was eternal ly decreed that that was the way they were to lose it, and that it went ia the moat orthodox and heavenly style. Oh, the damnable schemes that professed Christians will engage in?until >;.' God puts his fingers into the collar of the hypocrite's robe and rips it clear down to the bottom! Yon have no right, be J; , cause you aie well ofi, to conclude that your children are going to be as well c3. i A man died, leaving a large fortune. His son fell dead in a Thiladelphia grogshop. His old comrades came in and said as they bent over his corpse, "What is the matter with you, Boggse}?" The surgeon, standing over him, ?aid, "Hash ^ up; he is dead!" "Ah, he is dead!" they gjg^_ sai?. * "Come, boys, let U3 go and take a drink in memory of poor Boggsey!" Have you nothing better than money to leave your children? I' you have not batsend your daughters into the world with empty brain and unskilled hand, : you are guilty of assassination, homicide regicide, infanticide. There are women toiling in our cities for $3 and $4 per week who were the daughters cf merchant princes. These suffering ones now would be glad to have the crumbs that nnc* t?ll trnm fhwr faWhftrs' fa hip That wornout, broken shoe that she we?r3 is : 1 the lineal descendant of the $12 gaiters in which her mother walked, and that torn and faded calico had ancestry of magnificent brocade that swept Broad- ; way clean without any expense to ihe street commissioners. Though you live : in an elegant residence and fare suraptu> ously every day, let tou- daughters feel [ . it is a disgrace to them not to know how I to work. I denounce the idea prevalent i m society that, though ou: jcung wo- ! men may embroider simpers and crouhet and make mats for Iamp3 to stand on : without disgrace, the idea of doing any- ; thing tor a livelihood is dishonorable. It i is a shame for a young woman belongi , ing to a large family to bs inefficient I when the father toiis his life away tor p. her support. It is a shame for a daugh ter to fce idie wbiie ner motner tons at th* washtub. It is as honorable to I sweep house, make beds cr trim hats as i r it is to twist a watch chain. ' * . r . - r ~ .% .

A vast majority of ;hoee who would have woman industrious shut her up to a feff kiuds of work. My judgment iu this matter ss that a woman has a right to do anything she can do well. There shculd be no department cf merchandise, mechanism, art or science barred against her. If Miss Eosmer has geniu? for sculpture, give her a chisel. If Rosa Bonhtur has a fondness for delineating animals, let her make "The Horse Fair " Tf Miss Mitchell will study as tronomy let her mcuat the starry ladder. IfLydia will tea merchant let her sell purple. If Lucrccla Mott will preach the gcspel let her thrill ??ith her womanly eloquence the Quaker meeting house.

K av* any position man a mau ubs, uw | have i! She has as much right to her bread, to her apparel and to her home a3 men have. Bat it is said that her nature is so del' icate that she is unfitted for exhausting toil. I ask in the name of all pa3t history what toil on earth is more severe, exhau3tins and tremendous than that of the needle, to which for ages sbe has been subjected? The battering ram, the swor<), the carbine, the battleas, have made no such havoc as the needle. I wcnld that these living sepulchers in which women have tor ages been buried might be opened, and tha: seme resurjwmno!' miohf. hrintr nr? tfcftSft IV.L'biVU UULU^VU v. ? 3 -r liviog corpses to the fresh air andsualight. Go with me, and I will show you a woman who, by hardest toil, supports her children, her drunken husband her old father and mother, pays her bouse rent, always has wholesome iooa on the table, and when she can get some neighbor on the Sabbath to come in and take care of her family appears in cburch with hat and cloak that are far from indicating the toil to which she is subjected. Stich a woman as that has body and soul enough to fit her for any position. She cculd staid beside the majority of vnrn- snlesmfin end disoose of more goods. She could go into yoar wheelwright shops ?.nd beat one half of your workmen at iraking carriages. We talk about woman a3 though we had resigned to her all the light work, aDd ourselves had shouldered the heavier. Bu c the day of judgment, which will reveal the sufferings of the 3take and inquisition, will marshal before the throne of God and the hierarchs <>f heaven the martyrs ci wa3htub and needle. Now, I say, ii there be any preference in occupation, let soman have il. God knows her truls are the severest. By heracuter sensitiveness to misfortune, by her hour of anguish, I demand that no one hedge up her pathway to a livelihood. Oh, the meanness, the despica- ' biiity ot men who begrudge a woman the light to work anywhere in any honorable calling! ] I go still furtbsr and sav that women ! QhnhM h?vp> rnnal r.nmnensation with men. By whas principle of justice is it that women in many of cur cities get ( only two thirds as much pay as men, and in many cases only half?

For a long while women clerk3 in Washington got $900 for doing th it for which men received $1,800." 1 To thcu3amls of young women ia our 1 cities today there is only "this alternative ; ?starvation or dishonor. Many of the : i *:i largest LuerotMiuio Ui uui cities are accessory to th03e abomina- , tions, and frc-m their large establish- \ mcnts there ure scores of soul? being ; pitched off inuo death, and their employ- i ers snow it. i 13 there a Goc?

She is'a huaan being, who < gets hungry when she has no food, and ] cold when she has no fire. Give her no \ mere flatteries; give her iastice! I There are about 50,000 sewing girls in ' New York and Brooklyn. Across the . darkness of this night I hear their death ' groan. It is not sucti a cry as comes ; from those who are suddenly hurled out j of life, but a slow, grinding, horrible ] wasting away.

As she began to revive, in her delirium she said gaspingly: "Eight cents! Eight cents! Eight cents! 1 wish I could get it done! I am so tired! I wish I could get some sleep, but I must get it done." We found afteward that she was making gar meats at 8 cents apiece, and that she could make but thre9 of them in a day. Hear it! Three times eight are twenty-four! Hear it, men and women who have comfortable homes! Some of the worst viiliacs of the city are the employers of these women. They beat them down to the last penny and try to cheat them out of that. The woman must deposit a dollar or two before she ge's the garments to work on. When the work is done, it is sharply inspected, the most insignificant "flaws picked out, and the wages refused, and sometime the dollar deposited not given back. The Women's Protective union reports a case where one of these poor souls, finding a place where she could get more wages, resolved to change employers and went to get her pay for work done:. The employer says, "I hear you are goiDg to leave me?" "Yes," she said, "and I have come to get what you owe me." He made no answer. She said, "Are you not going to pay me?" "Fes," he said, ;,I will pay you," and he kicked her down the stairs. How are these evils to be eradicated ? What have you to answer, yoi who sell coats and have shoes made and contract for the southern and western markets? What help is there, what panacea, what redemption ? Some say, "Give women the ballot." What effect such ballot might have on other questions I am not here to discuss, but what would be the effect of female suffrage upon woman's wages ? I do not believe that woman will ever get justice by woman's ballotIndeed, women oppress women as much as men do. Do not women, as much as meD, beat down to the lowest figure the woman who sews for them ? Are not women as sharp as men on washerwomen and milliners and mantua makers ? If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her If she will not take 90 cents ? You say, "Only 10 cents difference," but that is sometimes the difference between heaven and hell. Women have often less commiseration for women than men. If a woman steps aside from the path of virtue, man may forgive?woman, never! Woman will never get justice done her from woman's ballot. Never will she get it from man's ballot. How, then ? God will rise up for ner. ixoa hbs more rwauuiuca uuau >vc know of. The flaming sword that hung at Eden's gate when woman was driven out will cleave with its terrible edge her oppressors. But there is something for our women to do. Let our youns: people prepare to excel in spheres of work, and they will be able after awhile to get larger wages. If it be shown that, a woman can in a store sell more goods id a year than a man, she will soon be able not only to ask but to demand more warrac oni9 tnilomonil them 9T1/>ftP.4afnllV Unskilled and incompetent labor must take what is given. Skilled and competent labor will eventually make its own standard. Admitting that the law of supply and demand regulates these things, 1 contend that the demand for skilled labsr i3 very great and the supply very small. Start with the idea that work is honable, and that you can do some one thing better than anyone else. Resolve that, God helping,you will take care of yourself. If you are after awhile called into anotner relation, you will all the better be qualified for it by your spirit of self reliance, or if you are called to stay as you are you can be happy and self supporting. Poets are fond of talking about man as an oak, and woman the vine that climbs it, but I have seen many a tree fall that not only went down itself, but took all the vines with it. X can tell you of something stronger than an oak for an ivy tc climb on, and that is the throne of the great Jehovah. Single or affianced, that woman is stronger who leans on God and does her best. Che needle may break,the factory band may slip, the wages may fall, bat over everv good woman's head there are spread the two great,gentle, stupendous wings of the Almighty. Many of you will go single handed throagh life, and you will have to choose between two characters. Ycung monian, 1 am sure you will turn your back upon the useless, giggling, painted nonentity wbich society ignominiously acknowledges to be a woman and ask God to make you an humble,active, earnest Christian. What will become of that godles3 disciple of fashion V What an insult to ber sex! Her manners are an outrage nnnn dpfienev. She is more thoughtful of the attitude she strikes upon the carpet than how she will look in the judgment; more worried about her freckles than her sins; more interested in her bonnet strings than in her redemptions Her apparel is the poorest part of a Christian woman, however magnificently dressed, and no one has so much right to dress well as a Christian. Not 30 with the godless disciple of fashion, rake her robes, and you take everything.

About one tenth of the popula- . tion of the city is employed by the 1 government. That one-tenth represents 1 at least 50,000 people, whose happiness c in a large majority of cases depends c upon the regular receipt or tne enveiopes at the end of the month. When * ols-fifth of the population is thus in- r timately interested in office holding, it ? is easy to imagine the widely divergent 5 effects of such sweeping charges as ^ have taken place in the past month. J Between 700 and 800 have been dis- * charged from the government printing ^ office, and though Public-Printer Bene- * diet has said that no more wholesale 1 dismissals will be made, it is r likely the end i3 not yet in v the bee hive on North Capitol 1 street. In the war department, since J April, nearly 350 clerks have been re moved, and others are expected to go j; In the near future. These will be in 1 company with about 300 of the census s hnruaii amnln?e? ar>rl f.hnsft r?f nt.hpr ' departments when the Dockery bill d bcomes a law. It may, therefore, be ? safely estimated that at least 2,000 per- ? sons will have to look for other employ- 1 ment before the winter comes. Among * those dismissed, particularly in the ? war department, are. men who have J lived a generation in Washington, and ? have come to regard it as their home. F Some may have managed to buy com- ? fortable homes, and the loss of their 1: regular monthly, stipend causes them to wonder how they may now continue to occupy them. Others have been so long at on9 desk that by reason of their c age they are absolutely unfitted to en- ^ gage in other occupations even were tl there any opening for them.

It has been as < :aret'ully compiled as the nature of the , ase would admit. Its conclusions up- j et several points of popular belief. ( )ne of th?sa is that there are more wonen than men in the country. The ;old figures show that this is not true of he country at large, even if it be so of 1 Massachusetts. But Massachusetts Is ( lottbe country, through Boston may 1 hink the country revolves around fcer ' is a pivot. The fact is that we have < ,422,410 more males than females in < he United States, so that every wo- I nan could have a husbaad if she I ranted one and have a fraction of a j nan to spare besides, so far as the i aere supply of men goes. This ought i o comfort those maidens who stiil 1 lave hope that their affinities may be 1 ound, thought it holds out small con- 1 olation to baehelors. Statistics of J piaownooa aoa wiuuwemuuu suuw a inference on the otner side. Widows 1 ,re for some reason far more constant o the memonry of the dear departed han widowers. For every widower rho remains in the single state there ] .re three widows. And yet,with the ma ] arity of widowers remarrying, there ] xe still nearly a million and a half hus- . ands left over for the ladles who want i hem. Perhaps they are not distributed ] a the right districts. 1 < Crlmd of Universal Saff cage. j London, June 2.?The Economist, i ommenting on the campaign of Ida J Veil 3 against the lynching of negroes in 1 he Southern States of America, says: '< 'The equality ot the races does not exist. ! .'he whites who granted the suffrage to I be negro were guilty of a grave offense : gainst republicanism as a system assur - ; ig the moral and intellectual compe- , snce of a citizen.

Juoe 4.?Governor Tillman, of ; Jsu.h Carolina, presented his State igency plan for the solution ct the liquor ' mestion to an audience of two thousand i Prohibitionists at this evening's session >f the international Temperance Congress. Tbe Governor's hearers did not 1 isree with him as to the plan, hut they intend flooplv to the f?cd. and found I mme po':ct3 .at which they could ap? )laid without doiog violence to their jonscienca. At other times tbey loudly 1 iXDreaseii their disapproval. Before the arrival cf Governor Tillnan Col. Alexander S. Bacon, of Brook- | yn, made an appeal for the raising of | *2,500. At this point the flectric lights ( vent out and tbe auditorium wa3 in larkness. A score of lanterns were , wrought In and tbe guest from South Car j )lina was led forward in .-emi-darkness. ; 2e was introduced by the R'-y Lr H. L. I tVayland, of Philadelphia. Governor Tillmm began by sayiDg 3 ;hat he wished there was more lisht so ' /innU 1 nAlr tho nOfln!# In fVlP pvp Snd ' IV UUUiU iwa IUW pvv f *v * ? ?uw vj v bave them look him m the eje and tell , whether he was telling the truth. Con- ! ;inuins he said: UI have come a long ;?ay and left my cnicial duties m the j merest of truth aad right. I have hear<? i great deal at the session I have at- i .ended of 'sanci' and 'backbone.' It has ; been said that I possess those qualities, j [ will say that I will shoT here to night ; that I am willing to advance my con- i mictions on my audience, and I a ji going to controvert your dearest ideas" and Srmest beliefs. I am probably the only politician present. I Dave been elected : Governor of a State, and I am a candidate for the United States Senate, and : expect to be elected." j The Governor then went onto bay , that he was not exactly a politician in , the ordinary acceptance of the term. rT" rt7 ..fArn ortAlra Kio /'Arwi^t'irtTlQ IJLC emu UC tiiTT a J O uw wmivuvuw and that was not characteristic of politicians. He said that he wa3 a farmer; that hi3 Gubernatorial position was his first office. He announced that he pro- 1 posed to have his say and if anyone in the audience wanted to throw rocks at him te would throw rocks back. Then drawing himself to his full height he said, in tones that made the rafters ring: "I am here to night to tell you that prohibition don't prohibit, and never will prohibit. We have got a plan,m South Carolina that complexly wipes out saloons, and we have done more than you have. Now, I am a temperance man. [Applause.] I never drank five sallons of whiskev all to gether in my life. [Laughter.] I sometimes take a social glass with my friends, bat I don't like the stuff.'' The Governor then produced a bottle of whiskey with the South Carolina lable on in. He waved it like a firebrand in the faces of the total abstainers and described the State dispensary plan. He said that prior to the decision by the Supreme Court of the State there were Bisty-sis dispensaries in operation, and the Slate had paid cut $379,000 for liquor, $57,000 for bottles and $37,000 for labels and other expenses. From the total outlay 018475,000 and with $98000 worth of liquor on hand, $567,000, worth had been sold and a net profit ol $100,000 to the State and $84,000 to the counties had been realizsd. He said that the quality ct the whiskey was chemically pure, so that the people ijuit having a headache when they got druak oa it. He said a moment later than no one got druak oa dispensary whiskey; they got drunk on blind tiger whiskey, which, he said, they hid in boles iD the ground or "toted" in their boot legs. He stirred up the audience by declaring that prohibition would never be established by yotes. "Give us a chance," said a man in front. This brought a vollev of aDDlause, svheD the G-overaor shouted. "You are aot ready to remove tte Government sax on whiskey." ' Yes we are," came from all parts of Lhe hall. "Then you are blinder than I thought you were," said the .Governor. A moment later he alluded to "prohibition narrow-mindedness" and com- . plained that the audience wonld only *0 half way with him. Then he said: ''Before you are a dcz;n years older Fou will see half the States in the Union r-n - 1 ~ Pam louowiag iue eiauipie ui ouuu v^bj.- i Dlioa," ''Never," shculed a woman delegate. ; "If you can't get prohibition, will you 1 take the dispeupary?" asked the govern- ' )r.They ^tie a lurdifd cces.and one ; nan in the back of the hall said yes. . "That is encourasiEg," said the Governor. He said that in all the country ; if South Carolina and nearly all the . towns public sentiment is in favor of ' ;he disDensarv law. and it will ba car ried out eventually. He went on: "So far as backbone is concerned I have as : much as any other man, but when you Jackie the liquor trade entrenched behind its hundreds of millions you need x> have the backbone of the otatue of , Liiberity." . The Governor left for the South after ;he meeting adjourned, at 4 15 P. M A Thousand Killed. New Yoke, June 1.?A special from | Han-Kow says that 1,000 persons at east have lost their lives in a catastro 3he peculiar to this singular section; ELeavy rains, caused apparently by a waterspout or "cloudburst" fell early last week on the upper Han, suddenly loading the lowlands to the depth'of several feet. Two great rafts moored ;o the bank were torn away by the nadd^ned waters and hurried down stream, smashing everything in their ivay for over 200 miles, leaving death md ruin in their wake.

Senator Patrick Walsh, of Georgia, made one day last week one o? the best speeches of the session in favor of tariff reform. He repudiated the charge made by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, that the South is in any sfense hostile to tne industries of New England, and claimed that the South is destined to be the great manufacturing centre of this country. He declared that the Democrats of the South favor the income tax, not as a sectional measure, but because it is jnst and equitable. The revenue tariff plank m the Chicago platform is solidly endorsed in the South, but our people [recognize the fact that the Democratic party is National and not sectional, and it is absurd to suppose that they have any ^cairn to rti<ar?rirmr??t? airainst anv American industry or lower t>* wages of the mechanic or laborers e have seen under the McKinley brn millions of dollars worth of our products shut out from foreign markets because we would not allow other countries to compete with us for'the custom of our home markets. The policy of the Democratic party has not been free trade but tariff reduction. It has de clared not only for lower taxation but for non-interfernce with the capital and labor engaged in the manufactur mg interests of the country. The overwhelming election of Mr. Cleveland on a revenue tariff platform leaves no 3oubt as to the wishes ot the people. Under the McKinley tariff we have bad more failures, suspensions, enforced idleness and general distress than has ever been known within the past two generations, In three years it bas caused an increase of 18 per cent, in the number of failures and 44 per cent, in the liabilities. The prices of farm products have declined lower than at any time within fifty years. The demonetization of silver was largely responsible for this shrinkage, but it will be seen that the claims of the protectionists are not sustained by the facts. The Wilson bill may not be a complete remedy Due it is a retorm ana on the right line. In regard to the income tax Senator Walsh made a strong point when he called attention to the fact that the British masses never complain of the tax, because it falls on these who are able to pay it, whereas, under our system we collected last year over 60 per cent of our tariff duties out of the necessaries of life while the luxuries paid only 37 per cent. Under the present law the poor man pays as much and sometimes more than the millionaire for the support of the Government because the tax is laid on con sumption. This is inequitable. The senator urges the Democrats in Congress to redeem the free silver and State Banks planks of their platform. He contends that it is safe lor this country to adopt free coinage, with or without international agreement, and that our population, wealth and resources wili enable us to susiainiton a parity with gold, and compel recognition for it from the enlightened governments of Europe. His view of the State bank tax is a sound one. He argues that it is an unconstitutional war measure, prohibitory tax, and that it should be repealed, because it has served its purpose and because the States have just as much right to control their own local banks as they have to exercise any other right under the Constitution. The tax should be unconditionally repealed. The speech is a clear presentation of the facts of the situation and an unanswerable argument for the redemption of the Demo-' cratic pledges of the remonetization of silver, State banks-and a revenue tariff. Until these pledges are redeemed the senator frankly say3 that he sees little prospect of the improvement of. trade, the revival of industry and better prices for farm products. Senator Walsh has pointed out the remedy that " f k/v wioIa^o fpAm IS JUOCUCU MJ UU1C tuo inninu3 uuw which the country is suffering, but we have little hope that it will be applied by the present administration, which seems to be blind. .
