A Female Defaulter.

Women are clearly proving their right
to perfect equality with men. Here is
Miss Belle Murray, acting deputy clerk of
the Circuit Court of Mclean county, Hi
nois. Not only has she discharged the
duties of the office as well as any man
could have done, but it is charged that she
has embezzled money with true masculine
bOldness. She is now on trial for the of.
tense, and it will doubtless appear that
fast horses, wine, and dlsreputable male
companions have been the cause of her
ruin. Now that women have thus proved
their ability to steal quite as successfully
as men, there need be no further discus
sion as to their right to hold office. Miss
Murray ought to be sent to Congress as
soon as she is out of her present difficulties,
and she can there demonstrate on broader
field the right of women to an exact
equality with the most astute OF Credit
