The Women Clerks at Washington.

A MONG the clerkships at Washing
IA ton, the poorly paid drudging places
are filled by women, the lighter, better
paid offices by men. That is because
the women can not vote. Copying and
figuring is the work mostly done by
the women. In the Department of the
Interior 500 girls and women are en-
ployed. Their wages range from $50 a
month to 81 400 year. Few get the
latter price. One young lady, Miss
Cook,a stenographer in the Indian office,
gets 81 900 year, the highest price
paid to a woman official in Washing
ton. But lest all the bright young lady
shorthand writers who read this should
at once start off in a body to get 81 900
q year at the Capital, it may be as well
to state that there are only places for
about six stenographers in the whole
Interior Department. These six places
are filled, and the occupants are healthy.
They do not intend to marry. They
are afraid every man wouldn't be worth
81 900 year to them. Women clerks
are more troublesome to manage than
men. This is the verdict in most of the
departments. They are more regular
and faithful in their duties than the
men; at the same time they are more
quarrelsome among one another A
standing cause of war among them,
ridiculous enough, is the opening and
shutting of windows. This one wants
ventilation, while the one next to her
is dead sure to be afraid of draft. This
one slaps the window up, and that one
runs after her and slams it down, and
so the game goes on SLAP slam, while
the ladies eyes dart fire, and their little
throats choke up too full for speech
This catfish quarreling went SO far in
the Post Office Department that at last
the United States authorities had to in
terfere, and make the rule that windows
should not be raised till certain time
of day so that the windows of the United
States General Post Office are now
opened and shut according to Govern
ment orders. A more contemplate
thing about womankind it has never
been my painful duty to record. Many
unjust stories have been circulated in
the newspapers about the women clerks
at Washington by correspondents who
were not half or quarter as good as they
The simple fact is that the great MAORI
ty of them are modest, faithful, hard
working women. They are quite as
good and intelligent as the same num-
ber of women anywhere else in the
world. Most of them have families or
relatives to support. The stories that
have been told about them are not only
wicked lies, but under the circumstances
they are extremely cruel. At the same
time the conduct of a few incompetent
women, who get their places through
political favoritism, really has been such
as to give color to the newspaper stories.
They do their work indifferently or not
at all, come together and gossip by the
hour in the edressing-rooms, ,squabble and
raise petty rows in the departments,
until it is even wished that they were
dead. Such women are kept in their
places because they have masculine re-
lations at home that can vote, and the
men who keep them there are honorable
Senators and Representatives who de-
clare that civil-service reform is hum
bug.

Although Prince Bismarck is by no
means aged for a statesman, already he
feels that the pressure of public business
has become too severe upon mind ana
body. 1t is no light work for one man,
no matter how great the outside talent
at his service, if he require it, to govern
the German Empire, comprising several
Kingdoms and principalities, with popu-
lation now close upon $4,000, 600. The
result of oyer-work of the mind, as the
sword outwears the sheath, is evident in
the increasing weakness of the body, and
from both causes comes the necessity TO
retire every now and then into tue coun-
try away from public affairs. But "quiet
| to quick bosoms is bane," and one
effect of his responsibility as n pubic
officer of the Empire, is to rush back to
| business at brief intervals before the
good effects of his rest can be realized.
| The Emperor William, who, besides hav-
| ing the highest personal regard Tor ms
Minister, never forgets that the unlflca-
ton of Germany, with himself as its i'm
perial head, is almost wholly due TO the
polity, the far-sightedness,t the patriotism
and the courage of Bismarck, now has
insisted, to tighten his work, on giving
him lieutenants in the principal depart
ments of government. The "Othclal
Gazette of Berlin has Just announced
that the Emperor has charged Herr Won
Bulow to act as the representative of the
Imperial Chancellor in matters relating
to foreign affairs Gen. Won Stosch, the
chief of the Admiralty, in matters con-
nected with naval AFFAIRS and DIR. Steph-
an, the Postmaster General, is appointed
to represent Prince Bismarck in the ad-
ministration of the posts and telegraphs
1t may not be out of place here to give
the principal dates of Bismarck's career
: He was born on the first of April, 1915
studied jurisprudence at Berlin and Got
tingen; entered the army, according tC
the strict German rule, and became lieu
tenant of the Landwehr; member of the
Constituent Assembly of Prussia in 1S48
Pr,ssian Minister 10 the Diet of Frank
e fort, 1851-69; to Russia, 1S59-62; to Paris
v 1862; Minister of Foreign Affairs ant
head of the government in Prussia, from
y September, 1862; Chancellor of the Nortl
: German Confederation, 1SG-70, ant
Chancellor of the German Empire, fron
II January, 1871. He was created a Coun
in 1865, then receiving the present of
valuable estate IN Luxembourg, an
when created Prince of the Empire, il
March, 1872, was presented with tn
d estate, almost principality in extent, c

THE MEETING ON SATURDAY was
another evidence of the Improvement of
the people, There was but one drunken
man to be seen on the streets. And we
expect he got his whiskey from some
ex-office holder or some office holder who
had no more respect for his fellow than
to offer him the bottle, ON an occasion
when of all others, it was to the interests
of the party and the county he should
avoid intoxication to enjoy the society
of friends, acquaintances and political
associates whom he meets but once In
several years. Political meetings are no
place to get drunk, and Saturday afford
ed an evidence of the sebriety and good
conduct of the Democracy of the county
We doubt if our temperance friends can
hold so large and general meeting
without showing more intemperance III
various ways than there was ON Satur-
day.

MAY sT. 1878.

THE RESPONSE to the urgent call OF the
GAZETTE of Thursday to the Democracy
of the county to exhibit their confidence
and faith in oursystem of government by |
attending the county meeting as patrl-
otic duty, was gratifying in the extreme. |
There has never been so large, respectable
and agreeable May meeting in our remem-
brance. 1t was a success in every particu-
lar and argues in favor of a sure triumph
in November. All our prospects however
were put at risk for time, by the SEM
blance of trick of few would be poll
ticians who had arranged to capture the
meeting and officer the county democracy.
To all appearances it was pre-alTanged,
and so bald and badly managed that no
true gentlemen would care to wear the
barren honors it would be conveyed.
This trick or supposed trick was exposed
and few shame faces was the result
The worst feature of it was that the
names of gentlemen We're used without
their knowledge in such way as to make
explanations and destinations necessary.
The honest yeomanry of the county
could not brooke such an insult to their sa-
gacity and therefore had the trick exposed,
and it required the eloquence and per-
suasive efforts of the best talent of the
party present to get enough oil on the
troubled waters to keep down the rising
indignation of the meeting. However
the matter was dropped with the under
standing that nothing of the kind be at
tempted again, and the chairman was in
structed to commence his committee with
Brandywine Hid. The whole thing seem
ed to have arisen from an effort of some
members of the Jefferson club to capture
the officers Of the meeting, while Other
members were disposed to make capita
for themselves by capturing Or captivating
the meeting through little brassy limo
cent display at eloquence. However
Mr.. VIM. L. Bright, the President of TIN
Levy court, upon whom the much covete,
honor fell will make very good count,
chairman. The Executive Committe
has the merit of experience, being mostl
those who acted last year, and the count
democracy may congratulate itselfon ha'
ing organized so pleasantly and with sue
bright prospects of success.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY for the
county was fully organized on Saturday
last. 1t is in good trim for clean sweep
and if good candidates are put on the
county ticket they will be elected. Moth
ing can now defeat the party but blum
der in tie State ticket and it will be time
enough to talk of that when it is commit
ted. The Republican party will no doubt
run candidate for Congress, and an
effort will be made to elect him and the
Sheriff. in Kent or Sussex by swapping of
the Republican legislative ticket for these
oIilces' Ii the Democrats have strong
State ticket they will carry the whole
State with ease.

JoHN's INADsnssABLE REQUEST
John Sherman's demand to be represented
at the sessions of the Potter Investigating
committee by counsel, we fully agree with
the Baltimore Gazette, is wholly inadmis-
sible. 1t is very natural that he should
consider himselfin his capacity of visiting
statesman-in-chief, the object of the fraud
investigation, but in fact he is only wit
ness. If he has any desire to turn states
evidence and tell all about it, he doesn't
need any counsel; if on the other hand he
is unwilling to tell the whole truth, his
personal presence in theScommittee is alb
solutely necessary. He must be cross
examined under OATH lie is lawyer
enough to know WHAT'S, and what is moi
legal evidence, and he can not be called
on to answer any improper question. Th,
country wants no bamboozling counsel in
terposing points and bubbles at each steI
OF the Investigation for the purpose o
delay. 1t wants to get at the. bottom O
this disagreeable matter as quickly as pos
sible. If Mr. Sherman has any counte
charges to make, let him bang away.
