HOW IT Is DONE.

There is no coercion, OF course. in
this matt er OF voluntary contributions.
Still the clerk who doesn't consider it .
pleasure and privilege to come down
will feel II trifle uneasy If he does NOT
overcome his objections to voluntarily
contributing TO Jay Hubbell the precise
amount he has demanded. MIR. Chan
dler. for instance. has announced that
he finds il necessary in the name Of
economy and reform to overhaul the
clerical force of the department, but
assures those in the service who are
faithful and competent that they have no
occasion for uneasiness. The clerk
knows we'll enough what that means.
II he cannot sho W a clean bill OF health
from Jay Hubbell. he is neither faithful
nor competent, and he must go. He
isn't discharged because he failed to
pay Hubbell. Certainly not. That
wouldn't be right. That wouldn't be
consistent with those processes OF civil
service reform which have been going
on for the past twenty-one years until
no further reform OF the service Is nec-
essary. The clerk IS discharged simply
because he is faithless aud incompetent,
and surely this is substantial ground. It
has no relation to mschine politics. On
the contrary. it may hurt the party
by losing il this vote. but the efficiency
Of the department must be maintained

It's noteworthy aud significant that
some Of the southern newspapers are
asking the democratic candidates for
congress to pledge Themselves to vote
for an anti.protective speaker OF the
next house. "The manufacturing
centers OF New Eengland and of the
middle states," says the Vicksburg
Miss Herald. ''can not be trusted.

taneously with this pertinent sugges.
ton of union with the west that
comes from the south comes the same
suggestion made with still greater

THE REV. DR.. lands EXPLAINS
WHY THERE ARE so MANY UN.
MARRIED WOMEN,

"What is the cause of so many old

scientific church, the trouble is not with

the race dies in infancy" said DR..
Lands, land the other half grow up

observe the laws OF their being and
grow up to perfect beasthood. Man
neglects the laws OF his being. even
when he learns them. Every woman

your children from books. You cram
learning aud religion into their he.ds,
but they learn nothing about ihcmsel-
vas, their origin aud development.
This is Il mechanical age. We have any
amount Of contrivanccs for saving labor
and anuihilating time. But we do not
teach ourselves seli-control. We arc
governed by our passions and appstltes.
That's the reason thele are so many old
maids. They don't look after their
phy sical health. They are puny, scraw-
ny, sickly and ill-developed, yet they
wonder why men don't marry them !
they wear diamonds in their ears, thev
calcimine their iaces and hair, and then
try to get husbands -! tel you until
women learn to regard the laws Of
bodily health, whlcn are the laws OF
God. they can never hope TO ield that
talismanic influence over the opposite
sex. " hich is more gigantic than tie
power OF diamonds and rouge.
"Another reason tor the number of
old maids is the prevalent notion that
every ylri shou d MARI, rich instead OF
choosing Il man who is healthy in body

what we should believe only. They
