RESERVED SEAT FOR THE WIVES OF
NJ. C''s.-New upholstery, painting and
gliding have also made this chamber
and the ante-chambers seem bright and
comfortable; but there is one change
which l must disapprove OF, as undemo-
cratic and invidious. Choice seats have
been set apart for the wives and daugh-
tiers of Senators and Members, from
which We, the common people, are as
sternly excluded, as from the diplomatic
gallery. This is unjust to the strangers
visiting the Capitol, who are often un-
comfortably crowded in the other gal
leries, while those aristOcratic reserva-
tlons are almost empty. 1t is my i'm
preston that of all the ladies in Wash
lngton, those for whom these galleries
are set aside, dedicated, tabooed, are the
least least given to watching the debates.
TTeerhaps they have politics at home.
Inc Vile OF Congressman seldom goes
~ tne Capitol, unless her husband is
tHe me nero of the hour; she goes TO see
5a. 5dui afraigned for high crimes and mis-
o,hanors, or hear him arraign some

EQUAL RIGHTs.-Equal rights and
common honesty are essential ingredi-
ents IN good government, but, unfortu-
natelyi they are too rare at present in
our national policy to give us much
practical benefit. No power has sue
eeeded, in the course of time, in so well
depriving US of the fruits of these excel
lent principles as the clique which con-
trolls the noisy power of the country.
The purchasing agents of the Illinois
Oranges, for instance, are buying every
article necessary for the use of the mem
bers at wholesale prices. In that Sec
ton good farm wagon, complete, re-
tails at Sl00. The agents of the Grange
pay but $50 for it. a Granger gets a
plow for sic, which formerly cost him
$50. The same reduction holds good in
other articles. y Changers wife can
get a sewing machine for S39, which
formerly, outside Of Grange influence,
would have cost her S6j; and through
the same agency, those who desire il,
can get parlor organ from $40 TO $50
cheaper than they could year ago.
Thus the system of cooperation among
farmers works like a charm, and facts
like these establish its cess.-Iaresfi-
