ANBIGUTTY BOILED DOWN.


The San Jose Mercury truly remarks
that, as a striking illustration Of how not
to say anything definite, commend us to
the twelfth plank Of the working mems
platform:
SECTION = That the working men Of Cali
iornia recognize the valuable assistance Of
their sisters in all the walks OF life, and will
ever have them and their best interests in
view. We believe that women should have
openings for seli-support and for the same ser
vice as men should receive the same pay.
They believe that "womeu should
have openings for seIf-support" In
deed, But do they believe working
women should have the same "open-
ings for self-support" that working men
claim for themselves? That is the ques-
ton. Why not come out fairly and deny
rights and opportunities for honorable
employment to working women which
they claim and demand for themselves ?
Better had they left that plank out. 1t
is simply an insult to the working
women Of the Country.

OUT OF THEIR SPHERE.

Assemblymeu Montgomery, Murphy, and
Wilson. members OF the legislative COMMITTEES
on state hospitals, have visited the san Fran.
cisco Ladies' Protection and Relief Society, the
California state Woman's Hospital, and the
san Francisco Lying-in and Founding Hospi-
tal.-lS r. Gail.
Could there be a greater farce enacted
and paid for by the people than the Wis
iting and inspection of lying-in hospi-
tails, woman's hospitals, and ladies' re-
lief societies by men chosen by men
alone to represent their interests, aud
having no knowledge whatever Of the
physical sufferings Of women or the
proper means and methods Of relieving
them? ? Talk about "woman's sphere"
after this, good friends, but tell US as
you proceed how any human beings
could be more widely out Of their sphere
than were the honorable assemblymen
OF the State Of California, while they
were peering about these woman's hos
pitfalls. No doubt the report rendered
by them of the workings, needs, copdi-
tion, and general adaptation for the
purposes Of relieving the manifold phvs-
ical ills of woman, of these retres IS for
sick and outraged womankind, will be a
valuable paper worthy to be pre-. erved
among the States archives. 1t will
serve a good purpose if it but calls The
peoples attention to the absurdity of a
system Of political ethics, that places
man foremost everywhere in matters OF
public moment, without the slightest
regard for the ''eternal fitness Of things, u
requiring him to inspect at Legislative
behest and render Judgment upon what
in the very nature Of the case he is to-
tally incapable of eomprehending with.
out medical knowledge. Out Of theii
sphere! We should think so. c.

Our friend Of the Standard, an excel

barring its radicalism, We wish success,

Of the progress Of the Woman Suffrage
movement. Ordinarily he does not

Foltz was addressing the multitude
upon temperance, be dreamed that Mrs.
Duniway was making a Woman Suf-

The joke was that Mrs. d. did not attend
the meeting, and did not, herself, dream
Of having spoken until the Standard
said so.

price, are highly favored In a financial
point. With no labor in clearing and
comparatively small labor in tilling the
soil, many of them have attained a
competence, and possess snug and eozy
homes besides. Many Of them are not,
however, as comfortably surrounded as
their means would admit of, owing,
probably, to the fact that their pioneer
experience taught them that the neces-
sites of life bear infinitesim' proper
tion to its luxuries. We hear some of
these make light of the circumstance Of
kitchen roof that leaks like a riddle,
while they tell their complaining
spouses, who dodge the pouring streams
while preparing the family dinner, of
the days when people "eamped out all
winter and thought nothing Of it," We
noticed that this argument, elincher as
1t was did not remove the look of dis
comfort from the face of the spouse, nor
cause the cough contracted in the wet
Kitchen to lose the painful sharpness of
its sound.

A Clty Divided Against Itself.

Bristol, in Tenessee-Virginia, is
perhaps the only city i'll the world
that has two Mayors and two city
governments, police, Get, and is
taxed in two States. The line be-
tween Tennessee and Virginia, is in
the centre of Main street, and it,
gives rise to many funny scenes, as
for example, the runaway couple
need no coach and four, but arm in
arm step across Main street and arc
welded. The fugitive commits q
crime in Virginia, goes to the pave
mcnt on the other side of the street
and talks dedantlY to the officer on
the opposite who has warrant for
his arrest. a misstep or too bold
disposition will sometimes, however
bring him to grief. Several ins.an-
ccs have occurred Of u fugitive be-
ing hustled across the line by a par
t. prepared while in the act of hold
ing such Il conversation, and they
tell of a man who detiantlY pcrched
himself on 4 pile of store boxes with
in six feet Of the line, jeering the
officers on the other side, but unfor-
tunately for him, some more law
abiding citizen tilted the boxes, and
when he reached the ground he was
in the other State.
