THE WOMAN QUESTION.

Whether the ballot shall be extended
to women, and whether women should
be allowed to enter the arena of labor
upon perfect equality with men, are
questions which have often been asked,
and, if left to be answered by mankind, a
corrupt age which has broken down the
traditional distinctions between the
races might long since have answered
these questions in the affirmative, and in
addition to the disgusting spectacle of
negroes in Congress, on the Bench, in
State Legislatures, and usurping author
ity which even the shameless enact
ments under which white men have been
reduced to their level, we might find
women performing the heavy work and
encountering the hardships which by the
laws of God and Nature belong only to
men. With an effrontery which sur
passes comprehension, the advocates of
woman's rights" (so-called) claim to
be woman's best and truest friend. But
hidden beneath their professions is the
design to destroy all distinctions between
the sexes, and sap the foundation upon
which decent society rests. Our design,
however, is not to refer SO much to the
question of female suffrage as to the
asserted capacity of women for the vali-
I'll
by men. AS has been truly remarked,
no skilled work can be done without APP
premiership. Then, it would be said on
the other side, put the girls to trade,
just as boys are now. How well this
system would work may be imagined,
when We reflect that girls indentures
are utterly valueless upon her marriage,
and if even the law of the State in this
regard were changed, it would be no
easy matter to avoid the natural conse-
quences of marriage. Then it is no Won
der that girls as apprentices do not sue
coed. With such facts ever before them,
1t Is no wonder that employers and
women in that respect are little if any
better than men-object to female APP
prentlces. The census reports but 200
female apprentices in the United States
to $1,000 males, and yet there are num-
Der OF trades peculiarly fitted, one would
think, for women Some we annex.

Massachusetts makes her criminals
pay for their living. The expenditures
of the State Prison at Charlestown
during the past year have amounted to
$l35, $50 81, while the receipts have been
$l45,l45 Al, which gives profit of
3d. $50 %. This is the result of good
management. There is no reason why
a large body of able-bodied men should
not be able to earn more than it costs to
keep them on the frugal fare common in
State penitentiaries.

A. Duchher proposes 10 make girls
pay the trouble of tuition by simple
process. They are to be made to equal
men, and will then be as men. The only
difficulty about doing this, says the New
York World, is that it cannot be done at
all. Some time since wealthy gentle
man of Boston left huge bequest to
found womans college. In this girls
are to be instructed in short hand, tele.
graphy, designing, ETC., and then gradu-
ated out upon the world to earn their
living. The way this will work is as fol-
lows In course of say ten years we will
have perhaps thousand female phonog-
raphers, designers, and SO on, to furnish
the world How many at the end of ten
years will there be exercising the calling
to which they were trained? Taking the
cost of the instruction furnished as $500
per head, or 100000 in all. what por-
ton OF this investment will be paying its
dividend OF labor to the world? We
doubt If as many as 100 out of the /, 900
women will be at work; if so much as
$4,000 of the 100000 will have been
rescued from tho humiliation of a lost
investment. Suppose 1000 lads trained
with 100000, barring death and acct
dent, almost the last one of them could
be relied on as at work, and more than
half of them likewise relied on as having
married and provided homes for as many
women. Instruct man and you pro-
vide for woman. Instruct woman
and the world loses the cost of her
schooling at the church door. But this
is not the whole of the matter by apv
means; nor do We pretend to do more
than contribute suggestions. Blythe.

A LIVELY TOWN.

The Figaro, sprightly San Francisco
exchange, says Phoebe reminds people of
the days Of 40, and quotes:
The Phoebe RECORD says it likes to
see certain amount of conviviality. but
when it sees the whole town beastly in
to1icated and lying around on the side
walks and curled up in dry goods boxes,
it reminds it forcibly that there is no
vice, which, in one black and awful gulf,
swallows up SO much of hope and happi-
ness as intemperance'
Says the State Journal
Phoebe wants Morgue. The city is
extremely healthy-nobody ever dies u
natural death there. When they think
man has lived long enough, they quietly
kill him. The Coroner is rapidly acquir-
ing wealth.
We have not taken any pains to con-
ceal the character of Phoebe for cornwall
ity. There is aboct the liveliest set of
boys in this place that We know Of on the
Pacific coast, but the scenes of inebriety
witnessed here during the holidays were
exceptions to the general rule, and since
then the town has Strengthened up"
and men of all classes are pursuing the
ever tenor of their way, with only occa-
sional deviations from the strict line of
moderate drinking" One is reminded
of the days of 40 by the plethora of
cash in circulation, and the liberality
with which it is dispensed, either in
pursuit of pleasure or for the relief of the
unfortunate. The State Journal draws
some unwarranted conclusions in the
paragraph above quoted, and as mat
ter of fairness ought to correct it. There
has been bloodshed enough in Phoebe,
yet there is no need of making the mat
ter worse than it is. The statistics of
last years deaths showed the total num-
Der to have been y, only eight of whom
died by violence, and this, too, in a
population of from 5000 to 1000. The
organization of Citizens Protective
Union" promises no addition to the
fees of the Coroner for the current year.

Current Notes.

The New York evening papers continue
their attacks upon Comptroller Green and
Dexter Hawkins. The Commercial Adoer-
tiser denounces the latter as a transparent
fraud Probably Mr.. Green is an opaque
one.
The New York Post says The Woman Suf-
trage Reform is certainly much less conspicu-
GUS and apparently much less popular now
than seven years ago. The American people
have way of amusing themselves for
while with subject, and then, when they
tire of it, letting it drop.
The World says that the result of the re-
cent elections is to prove beyond a doubt
that the Liberal Republican party is a failure,
and that ''the opposition party for the next
four years will be the democratic party, and
no other party"
Ex-Governor Palmer, of Illinois, has writ
ten letter on personal liberty and personal
morals, in which he says he has no faith in
the ministry of the police Office as an agency
Tor the promotion of morals, and that Gun
der our system of municipal government, the
authority of the local magistracy and of the
police is practically absolute, and the helpless
and feeble are often outraged, and thousands
are made criminals by being first treated as
criminals"
Undergraduate journalism at Yale, hither-
to represented by a monthly, two weeklies
and three ANIMALS, has this week an addition
in the shape of paper called the IconOclast
devoted to attacks upon the senior societies,
and published by the neutrals of that class,
who. since the time, three years ago, when
the Yale College passed into the control Of
senior society editors, have had no mouth
piece for the expression of their views.
The Inter- Ocean, in commenting upon the
rumor concerning the new political journal
70 be started in Washington, says: ga new
daily paper is projected in the city of Wash
ington, to be edited by those supple youths,
Alexander HI. Stephens and Herschel V.
johnson. Mr.. William Allen of Ohio is to
be engaged as city editor, and Santa Anna
will have charge of the foreign department.
They are organizing corps of the survivors
of the war of 1872 to act as carriers"
The lively run made on Tuesday by the
ancient William Allen, of Ohio, tends to sub
stantiate his denial OF the imputation that
he was ''paralyz4d from the hips down.
| If the Democratic party is party without
| principles, it certainly has q multitude of

selves Liberal Republicans have neither.

Internal Revenue Decision.

1.-THE law gives only conditional exemption to
any medicine or class of medicines. The class
of medicines exempted, and the conditions of
such exemption are to be found in the 18th Sec
ton OF the act of July 10, 1866 Having care
fully described what classes of medicines. and
under what conditions said medicines are ex-
empt, it is declared peremptorily that nothing
in this section wiz, in Sec. 49, of the Act of Jul
ly 49, 1866, and this is the only section in the
law that authorizes any exemption) shall be
construed to exempt from stamp tax any med
icinal articles, whether simple or compounded,
by any rule, authority or formula published or
unpublished, which are put up in style or
manner similar to that of patent or proprietary
medicines in general, or advertised in newspa-
pers, or by public hand-bis for popular sale
and use, as having any special proprietary claim
to merit, or to any peculiar advantage in mode
of preparation, quality, USE or effect, whether
such claim be real or pretended. 1t is held
therefore that all medicinal preparations put
mp in a style or manner similar to that of pat
ent or proprietary medicines in general are liza
BILE to stamp tax. The style or manner of put
ting up need not be exactly like the style adopt
ed IN putting mp patent or proprietary articles.
There need be only similarity of style, like
ness in the general points What, then, is the
general style or manner adopted by the makers
and vendors of patent or proprietary medicines?
, 1st-Such medicines are almost always put
up in retail packages, packages which are sold
with their contents, directly to the consumer
I'd. Each package is acco mpaned with
lebel hard bill, or wrapper containing an
enunciation of the diseases or affections for
which the medicine is specific or remedy.
containing also directions as to whec and how
it is TO be taken, what constitutes a proper
dose, either for an adult or child. how fire.
quently such doses are to be taken, etc., and
generally such directions with regard to the
mode of administering the medicine as physi-
clans give when called to prescribe for a pa
tient. 1t is style adapted to popular lie and
use, TO enable the sick to supply themselves
with the most popular remedies, and to use the
same without the aid or assistance or even of
the advice, oftentimes, of physician or medi-
cal practitioner. Medicine and medicinal pre-
parations, whether 'officionar' or ''non OIL
cional." by whatever rule or authority or form
ula compounded, put up in such a style, in re-
tail mack ACES and accom- panied with a label. a
