Female IncoIaTVauocrat AYc arc once again referred to Jbluv tuart Mabs-whcra he says : 'When the efficiency is equal "but the unequal , the only-explanation that an'bc given is cnstom ; grounded cith- r iti4\ prejudice or in the constitution f society , which making every woman , * ocially Speaking , 'an appendage o oaie man , enables man to taze systc- aaticallv tKc lion's part of what be- Thfcwonian'whbHs the appendage" of man , is , as a rule , the vifo of that 1 Juan and the mother of his clifldron , and'Jtho lion'part" which he takeS is 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 : n Nebraska faro much bettor than ncn ; they do in every statcand we do not sco what Uioy have to grumble about , anyway. Many of them faro nuch better than they ought to and eleven out of every twelve 'women ' who ire for fcmalb iuffrage : bclftng to that class that have fared much better than heir qualities of heart , mind or person entitle them to ; Uioy are spoiled chil- [ ren and that is all ; they do not know what the- want and do n&t get -what hey should bouncing babies. 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 ! beautiful.Tipn thn outsiders ap pealed to PVdsiJcnt dcott ft equal rates with tluJ 9 andart they wore advised to compromise wit the monopoly. They were refused th same rates even if they shipped equa amounto , and even refused Jnfonna lion as to iviG amount of thailiscrim nation made in favor of the Standan When the Pennsylvania .road wai cliarging the Standard seventy am eighty ecnts a barrel foi * refilled oil t New York , and , out f that amoun paying ton cents for storage and six cents for lighterage , it was charging § 1.90 to outside shippers. It chnrget ono outside shipper ? 2 ImrYol tit time when , on the sworn testimony o Mr. Cassattr , who is "at a loss to mi dorstand what interest will bo servcc by building pipti lines to the sea board , " the road was carrying oil fo t1 e Standard company for less tha nothing ! If the t'c'nnsylvania road shoillil los the amout it has invested in tank-cars of which there 'is no immediate dan ger , it would be able lo realize in som small degree the feelings of the outsit ! proiluce'ra ailtl refiners : who have bank rupted or driven out of business , o permitted to continue ) business in sla\ ish ( subjection to the Standard compa ny , owing to the active co-operatio with that monopoly of the Pcnnsylva nia , New York Central , and Eri roads.

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.
