MEXICO.
The attention of capitalists and th
interest of thousands of rovingly dis
posed Americans is at proacn , turnc <
towards Mexico. It is held "up as
land of cxhaustlcss wealth and tin
limited resources a Hold for capital an
labor and an unexampled opportunity
for American enterprise.
A few weeks ago Col. Geo.V
Hrockenridge , of Toxasmado a trip t
Mexico and inan interview on Ins re
turn gives a plain , business-like state
incut , of the actual condition of th
resources of the country , that is no
very encouraging to these who hav
"imagined that Mexico-was a fabulously
Wealthy country.
" In the first place , only "a compara
lively small portion of Mexican terri
torjis actually susceptible of cultiva
lion. There are vast areas of countr
that are so absolutely barren that n

The habitable portion of Mexico
like India , is teeming with a vor
similar mixed population. Evcrj
aero of ground is already under culti
vation , and , largo as , the crops arc ,
the people can barely raise enough t <
support themselves. "Very little o
anything , , uxcopt perhaps the singli

i-Torchlight ,
The senatorial 'light that resulted in
ho'election of General Van Wyck ,
vas generally conceded to be the most
acitmg and spirited contest ever en
gaged in by the different political fac-
ions of the state. The numbnr of
leadtind wounded statesmen still liv-

AYc arc once again referred to Jbluv
tuart Mabs-whcra he says :
'When the efficiency is equal "but the

an'bc given is cnstom ; grounded cith-

ocially Speaking , 'an appendage o

Q ? the nupjwrt u ! tllit wife and : chil
dren. Of course -we hko a-well regu
lated family for example because , sad
as" it t may be , jt i not the fault ,
of society , it a woman and a
man who are the conjugal
anpcndago of ono another , disturb the
liannony of their material relations by
causes altogether dependent on the
bad character of both , or either. The
lawsj such as they are noff , as well as
public optiiioll as a rule , favor woman
more tlian'lhey do man ; this is ' 'unde
niable. In connection with this we
repeat what tftj have already once be
fore said : "Now-a-days the question
'of loyo is "subordinated to financial
considerations ; marriazo l\w become
"a speculation iuctciid til a matter of
heart and it causes domestic life to
bring in contact natural antipathies ,
which very soon become centers of
discord ; hence adultery and its cense
quences. " Th f llon'rj jljtft , Of a man's
earnings , goes to his wifo'and children
but very principally to the wife. Man
is happy -when he is able to give all
the comfort possible to his wife and
children , and the hardships endured
by sonlo husbands to secure that com
fort will always remain a mystery to
their wives.
- Mills goes oil , .Mid says :
"But the principal question relates
to the peculiar employment of women.
The remuneration of these is , I believe ,
greatly below that of employment of
equal skill and disagreeableness , car
ried on "by man. "
Take a factory , for instance. The
men who work in it , as a rule , arc
married men , and the fj'rls who work
in it arc plnglo. "Why should these
girls bo paid as much as these men ?
The work which they are allowed to do
could bo done by boys , nnd the work
of a boy cannot bo as remunerative
to the employer as the work of a
man who has labored for'ypftrsat
the trade , alld who in dor-
stands Jt better. Such work as
women do in factories , arduous as it
may bo. and well done n * it is , is com
paratively light , work ; nature having
made men more robust than women ,
they do the heavy work , and women
perform the lighter work Tl > o girls of
our factories have gdtldrally something
to spare at the end of the week ; men
very seldom have sufficient to support
their families. Tliis is illustrated to a
nicety by the fart tJmt the rsaYings
banks in the Cast receive thirteen dollars
lars from girls to ono dollar from
men. This proves conclusively that ,
cheap as their labor ulay be women
in the main can put moro money away
than men , even though the wages of
the latter are higher than these of the
former. 'Whcro is that lion's share
then I _
, Now wo submit that if there is a
larger proportion of women in the
vast than there is is in the Pacific
states , it is due to natural causes , not
to the iact that females arc not al
lowed to vote , as is Intimated. Men
arb possessed of moro energy than
women ; they are naturally bolter cal
culated to endure the hardships of a
long trip and the existence of a fron
tier life. Moreover , fourteen men get
killed to ono woman , and it is thnro-
fore not strange that in thickly set
tled communities women are in the
majority. Female suffrage will not
change this proportion , but time will ,
and within fifty years from to-day the
Pacific states will offer no better wajjes
to women than the Atlantic states do.
Women are allowed any occupation
compatible with their nature'
and education ; as school teachers they
abound in our state ; they are by far
too numerous indeu-1 , for wo have
seen little things only sixteen years
oltl teach school to boys of eighteen ;
and an eighteen year old boy is but aver
vor } ' poor stick , if a girl of sixteen
can look at hjm without being , well
somewhat perplexed , anjivay. Tliis
thing is overdone ; a sixteen year old
girl , no matter how soml an examina
tion she can jiass , is not ( it for a
tcadtcr. Our boys work in the field ;
they do hard work for fifteen dollars a
month. Female school teachers of the
same ago got thirty-five dollars per
month and the } ' work only five days
in the week and six hours per day ,
while "our boys , " and men too , for
the matter of that , work six full
days from sunrise till sunset' ,
and even on Sundays are
obliged to get up at an earlier hour
than usual to enable them to do chores
dress up and take the female schoo
: cachcrs to meeting and she never of
era to pay for the buggy or Uio ice
: ream either , although she gets thirty
ive dollars to his fifteen. The womoi :

nuch better than they ought to and
eleven out of every twelve 'women ' who

class that have fared much better than
heir qualities of heart , mind or person
entitle them to ; Uioy are spoiled chil-

The Standard Oil Monopoly.
Chicago Time * .
The legislature of Pennsylvania hav-
ng granted to the Standard monopoly
ho exclusive right to construct pipe
incs from the oil r ion lo Uio sea
ward , after the monopoly had reduced
he New York Central , the Erie , and
ho Pennsylvania roads to subjection ,
t is now proposed to enact a law per-
nitting the free construction of pipe
ines under the right of eminent do-
nain , and Urns check the monopoly
n its attempt , already well advanced ,
o confiscate the entire oil re
gion and ruin all refiners whole
lo not accept the terms of
ho monopoly by rendering it impossi
ble for them to tiet their oil to market
it a cost Uiat will enable them to carry
on their business , The railroads
hat is , the railroad presidents have
entered into the conspiracy , and are
villing to servo Uio monopoly gratui-
iously whenever it becomes necessary
o crush opposition. The only hope
of the oil men outside of the monopoly
ies hA the construction of the pipe
ines. Of course the Standard company
and the railroad companies , havingnow
v "corner' ' on Uie whole business , are
opposed to pipelines.
A meeting of the pipe-line advocates
vas held a few days ago in Philadel-
ihiaand at tliat meeting there was
ead , By an attorney who is said to be
i representative of Uie Standard coni-
wnyj argument from Mr. A. J. Cas-
att first vice president of the Penn-
ylvania railroad , in opposition to the '
ape lines. The substance of Uiisar-
; ument was thatjtho Pennsylvania
oail was abundantly able to move the
nil delivered to it , and , as it charges-
he saiuo rates to all customers , Mr.
'assatt is "at a loss to undersand
vhat interest will be served by build-
ng pipe lines to Uie seaboard. " On
he subject.of uniform rates , Mr.'Cas-
Natt says : "So far as our line is con-
ensed , wo are thorougWycDmiaitted
o Uie policy of charging uniform
ates tq all shippers of oil. "
Pcrsoiis whd read Mr. H.D.Lloyd's
"
irticlo on standard monopoly in "the
March Atlantic Monthly will reineni-
jerthatMr. Cassatt entertains very
ovel and original views as to Tvhat
'uniform rates" are ; or perhaps it
Fould bo more exact to say that Mr.
Tassatt's mind is so constructed that ,
: uniform rates are charged to all
ustomers , he can see no possible in-
usticc or inequality in making a
ttbate to one customer and refusing
to others. Mr. VanderbOt , Mr.
ewett , and "Mr. Scott made a
rrittcn contract -with the oil pro-
ucersMarcb.5 ; , 1S72 , "not to give
iny party the slightest difference in
7 fes , or discriminations of any
Ijaractcr-whatcver and " 'to make no
tiango in. rates without ninety days'
otice in Trriting to the producers. "
Yithin a short time the Pennsylvania
xvid was paving the StaMard compa-
y twenty-two and a half cents a bar-
id , not only on all oil shipped by the
tandard company , but on all oil
lipped by its rivals. The company
ot only did the work for the Stan
dard "cotripanyM IcsS Uiah it did fo
Uieotherfl , , Built made the others pa
forthowb'rk donb for tno Standar
jcompuiy. Mr. Cassatt's word was a
this time 'thoroughly committed" b
a written agreement "to the policy o
charging uniform rates to all shippers
of oil , " but it was also thorough !
r
committed to the policy of rcfundfn
to tlio Standard. company twentj
two -and n half cents a barrel oa a
oil it shipped , ami of paying the sain
company the sanlo amount on all o :
shipped by it competitors. The mat
ter gdt Into tild tiourtfl , und Mr. Qas
salt testified on oath that he did no
think this arrangement with th
Standard company was any violatio
of the written agreement ' 'not to giv
any party tile Slightest difference in
rates , or discrimination of any charac
tcr whatever. " This shows prccisel ,
what is tho. value of Mr. Cassatt's dec
laration last week Uiat pipelines ar
superfluous be uiej "BO fnr no ou
liilo is concerned , wo are thoroughl ;
committed to the policy of chargin
uniform rates to all shippers of oil.
Mr. Cassatt also makes an.appcal t
the sympathies of Uio pipe-lino adv (
catcs. Uo says Uio Pennsylvania rai
road has built for Uio oil traffic thir
teen hundred tank cars , which arc o
no HBO except lor hauling oil. T
this the obvious reply is that if th
Pennsylvania road can do the wor
cheaper than the pipe-lines can , ii
tank-cars will not lie idle ; if it ca
not do the work as cheaply , there i
no reason in the wiirid'dvan , ffonl th
Pennsylvania point of view , -why th
railroad should bo protected from th
competion of Pennsylvania pipe
lines. Hilt , ae tlio Pennsylvania roac
has helped the Standard to crush it
competitors , this appeal to the sympa
tliics of those competitors is real !

The real name of Mr. Yillard is
Heinrich HiU ard , and his nearest
relatives all reside in or around Belle
ville. He is the son of Gustavo Hil
gard , formerly president of the supreme
premo court at Munich. This Gustav
Hilgard is the half-brother of JRoberl
C. Hilgard , of the Bellevill savings
bank. Gustav Hilgard was Uio only
one of five brothers who did not come
to America , and it was not originally
intended that his son Henry ( the
Yillard in question ) should go to the
UnitedStaies. But some \rild escapades
while studying at the university of
Munich induced him to come to Amer
ica in 1853 , being then nineteen years
of age. Ho arrived here without any
means , and he had to rely on himself
ser support. In 1854 his uncle , the
above mentioned Robert C. Hilgard ,
of the Belleville savings bank , went
to Chicago , where the young Henry
had run hard agroundj and brought
him to Belleville But he left soon ,
and for five or six years not a word
was heard of him. Jt seems , however ,
that Henry "Hilgard ( Villard ) became
acquainted with Horace Gro Joy when
thaf 'journalist visited the
West , " who' engaged him as
a correspondent " for his , paperj
The Now Yor"k Triburte As
correspondent Hilgard _ . assumed
the- nom do plume of Villard , an3
under this assumed name he jjooii
gained celebrity as an excellent news
paper writer , particularly as a war
correspondent Tlio foundation of
his immense fortune ho laid during
the time whoii government bonds
stood very low by fortiuiate. specula
tion in thes" popart. During that
time ho visited EurOpq foIii1 limes.
