As time advances women's claim to
7 anticipation in public affairs seem to be
aceded to with less reluctance. The logic
Of events is more effective in securing this
end than the aggressive agitation of women's
rights advocates. Prejudice seldom yields
to the force. of wordy argument: il re-
quires the demonstration of actual fact
Questions of fitness for responsible public
positions are ones Of experience and not OF
pure logic. Women DESTROYS of having all
fields Of enterprise open to their sex should
urge attention to that training and educa-
ton requisite to proper discharge OF the
duties connected with those positions from
which they claim all unjust discrimination
excludes them. Ability commends more
strongly than sex disqualifes, and the wO-
man who is more intent on filling her pres
ent position creditably and laboring fol
selfimprovement, than in brooding over the
disadvantages which her sex imposes, vii
seldom have cause TO complain of injustice
The recent appointment by Presiden
Hayes of Ada G. Sweet as pension agent a
Chicago and the general approval which tn
appointment receives on account of th
highly satisfactory manner in which sh
performs the duties OF the office, aud tn
plandets Hattie Havburn receives as cler
of the Iowa senate demonstrate that eve
in positions Of political trust the merit c
women is readily recognized.

At present, England is the disturbing
element in European affairs. With char
"ntAristie insolence she demands that the
whole treaty Of San Stetano be dlsoueoaA
at the proposed international congress
1t Is limited that if England refuses to
send representative to the congress 1t
will meet without her Meanwhile the
presence Of her fleet in Turkish waters
is a continual menace to Russia which
iustifes her refusal to withdraw her
troops from Turkey, while the English
fleet remains in the Sea of Marmora.
England's sympathy with and indirect
promises of aid to Turkey had no doubt
much to do with the inception and pro-
longation Of the war, and now that the
beiligenents have agreed on terms of
peace her dictatorial policy is ill-timed
and unwarrantable. While a war be-
tween England and Russia is not i'm
minent it is not improbable as the feeling
in both countries is decidedly warlike.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1878-03-28

There is parallel in one detail be
tween the peace conditions of the war Of
1S10-1 and those of the war of 1878
Belfort stubbornly held out against the
Germans when nearly all the other be-
seiged towns had surrendered; and ac-
cordingly Theirs, standing on the rule
of uti possidetts, was able, at the ne
gotiations. to secure Belfort for France,
though surrounding regions went 10
Germany, and this little stronghold was
also coveted. So now we find Erzeroum,
that held out against Russia until evac'
uated by the armistice agreement, saved
from the territorial ccssions exaeted II
Armenia, whereas Kars, the Bayazid
district and Arabian pass into the hand:
/ of the Russian conqueaor.

HO We.

Howe has been heard from As
might have been expected he casts his
fortunes with the extreme wing of the
republican party; he feeds on old mem
cries and wakes eloquent on dead issues.
The eAiled children Of Israel hen they
hung their harps on the willows, never
sighed with more heartfelt feeling for
the homes Of their fathers than does
Howe for the days that are past His
speech has the mouruful melody of a
requiem. 1t is the far-away sound of a
voice that is soon to be hushed in poll
teal discussion. 1t is suggestive of
weeping, tuneful with complaint, the
''melodious tear" which Howe drops on
the bier Of the era of discord. 1t has
the ''eloquence CT Woe" the strength of
grief and the weakness of despair
Howe never before gave utterance to so
readable a speech. He will hardly ever
again have the opportunity to do So
Depth of feeling might have given him
beauty of expression, but the Joint
ballot" of his native state gave lnspira-
tion to the thought.
Howe appreciates the fact that hostili-
tY to Hayes and the liberal portion Of
his cabinet, sympathy for Packard and
opposition TO the presidents civil service
policy are the three cardinal points
which fix the plane of republican ortho-
doxy. Packard's preteusions are no Ion
ger a part of politics but they are a
shibbolcth which mark the true party
man. Howe has poured out volumes OF
abuse TO demonstrate his fidelity. He
is now one of the elect. Though his
speech was pregnant with denunciation
it was not solid shot directed against
the administration; it was a rocket in
tended TO show Howe's whereabouts.
On vital principles he is now known to
be in perfect accord with the ultra re-
publi.ans. Move on the column for
70, Howe is found. He stands within
the charmed circle which is drawn on
the radius of hate.

We have now the strange anomaly Of
a silver dollar trade) of more intrinsic
worth than the APP grain dollar, quot
cd at less than the inferior dollar in
bullion. That is, 400 grains of silver
and alloy are worth less in coin than 4l2li
grains of silver with the same proportion
of alloy. OF course the immutable laws
of relative value do not support this
state of affairs. The cause of its being
is the course Secretary Sherman adopts
in putting silver coin in circulation.
! The government only, can coin silver
The secretary will give silver dollars on
| iy in ex change for gold at par. They
are not given for debts. interest or sala-
ries The stamped coin can only be
purchased for a gold dollar; the bullion
from which the coin is manufactured
may be purchased for considerably less
than gold dollar; the government de-
riyes all the benefit from the difference
in value between the bullion and the
coin The demand for silver dollars il

The scheme to issue certificates or
bullion deposits may furnish a conven

as one of two plans is adopted If Ger.
tificates calling for an amount equal tc

of bullion. At present the treasurer
buys silver at its market value, which
is relatively low. with silver dollars at
their coin value, which is relatively high,
or in other words he receives more silver
than he pays out. If by depositing, the
owner of silver bullion can get certifi-
cate whose purchasing power is equal in
all respects to that of {. silver dollar, for
as much silver as goes into a silver dol
lar, and if by selling he must give for
silver dollar more silver than he receives
IN the dollar, of course he will deposit
and not sell.
