BLUE EARTH CITY, MARCH, 1882.
The question discussed at our latest
club-meeting was: Are Women Inef-
fcient y? The following is an epitome
| OF the argument presented.
"The place woman now occupies in
the worlds esteem, and the one she
has occupied for eighteen centuries,
proves that she is universally regarded
as inefficient. Women who make an
cry denial of this mental disability and
persistently ignore the cause, are MAX
ing an Improbable mistake. The
cause of weak mentality being, accord
ing to the best medical authority,
debilitated state of the body resulting
from ignorance of the laws of health,
morbid day-dreaming, and last but not
least, a lack of book knowledge.
Another telling fact against woman's
efficiency is the bad state of her finan-
ces. If every work is worth its pay,
she has either been idle or swindled
out of her wages-for the average wo-
man is dependent, irresponsible, sort
of person who imagines herself rich,
wise, or influential, because her hus-
band or father is. She does not Law
hold of the real things of life, but lives
IN sort of imaginary world. She
thinks it a great thing to be lady, to
own poodle, command servants, ride
in matchless carriages; this is great
ness-wonan' greatness-hersh held by
the fine thread of mans caprice The
logical surmise is that most men are
mental polygamists and that man will
be but slightly improved in morals un-
til woman places higher estimate on
her own worth. She prizes too highly
the affections of man, a strife for his
love is her work-how pitiful and mar
row this ceaseless rivalry, abusing each
other in grand scramble for trivial
prize, one which we all admit is at
best only comical little emotion,
short-l lived as it is pleasant.
The affirmative won, as they had all
the data
Now, girls, listen to me. While
you are in the shelter of home, prepare
yourselves to be self-sustaining, and
when business enterprise enables you
to carry half the worlds money in
your pockets, you can dictate terms to
masculinity. And when the best that
God has made is at your disposal, the
world will seem very beautiful. c.

says that several business enterprises
were driven away from both St. Paul
and Minneapolis by the high price
asked for property, and that the pro-
jectors objected to working altogether
for the landlords. They wanted to
have little left for themselves. Nat
urally. Upon this subject the Chica-
60 Herald recently remarked:
The general uneasiness among
worklngmen all over the country sug-
gests question whether times are act
ually as good as they are currently
boasted to be. Insubordination among
workmen and a disposition to be vio-
lent, are strange things to see in free
country III prosperous times. There is
a cause lying underground somewhere
that has not been mentioned in any
published diagnosis of the case. There
Is possibility that this cause is not
wholly disconnected from an extraor-
dinary appreciation in land values and
rents. Operatives find it next to i'm
possible to get on at the rate of wages
now paid and employers complain
that all other expenses are SO closely
cut as to make an increase in wages
fatal to their business. Perhaps both
operatives and employers are in real
ltY working for the landlord The
point would bear investigation.
This country is yet too large for us
to be confronted with landlord ques
ton, but in the overcrowded cities of
east it is not impossible. 1t is certain
there IS great dissatisfaction among
eastern laborers and mechanics, and
runners of general strikes are ominous.
The Journal thinks that perhaps, after
all, Henry George is right, when he
explains the steady pauperizing of the
poor with the growth of our material
prosperity, by the present theory of
rents, and if we do not look out, we
may have labor problem before us
whose solution will be difficult to find.
For us, in Duluth, we need not fear
this, but We may set the village back
by demanding too much. Let US grow
naturally.

WISCONSIN IN CONGRESS.

From the State Journal
The Badger state is not only strong
ly represented in Congress by her own
delegation, but half dozen or more
of her former citizens have seats there
from different parts of the Union. A
moments reflection recalls the follow
ing names
Hon. William Aldrich, who repre-
sents a Chicago district, resided for
some years at Manitowoc and repre-
sented that county in the assembly of
1859.
Hon, Ira. S. Hazeltine founded
the town of Richland Center, and liv-
ed there until 1870. He was a colonel
and aid-de-camp on the staff of Gov.
Farwell in 1923, and member of
the legislature in 1867 or 1858. He
now represents the sixth district of
Missouri in the house, as a Greenback
Republican.
Hon Alvin Saunders, u. S. Sena-
tor from Nebraska, resided in Iowa,
when it was a part of Wisconsin ter
ritory.
Hon r. r. Dawes, of the fifteenth
Ohio district. attended the state uni
versity and lived Mauston for some
years afterward. He took out com
pany with the sixth Wisconsin regi-
ment, and arose to the colonelcy, be-
ing one of the most gallant officers Of
the many who bore the Badger ban
to the front during the war.
Hon. A. H. Pettibone was citizen
of Milwaukee, where he studied law
with Jonathan Z. Arnold, and after
ward practiced at La Crosse. He was
captain of Company A of the Goth
Wisconsin, and was mustered out af-
ter four years of noble service as lieu
tenant colonel of that regiment He
represents the First district of Ten
nessee.
Hon. R. f. Pettigrew, the young
and brilliant delegate who is proving
large enough by every measure to rep
resent the 10000 square miles of Da-
kota. came to Wise onsin with his par
ents when he was six years old, settl-
ing in EVANSVILLE, Rock county and
remaining until 1869. He attended
Beloit College, and was member of
the law class of the State University.
We believe that if we were mali
cious, we could convict Senator Plumb
of Kansas, of having been Wisconsin
printer in the days of his indiscretion,
and there some old students ofthe I'm
iversity who think they can indentify
Representative Houk, of Tennessee, as
a former college mate.
Doubtless all of these gentlemen
entertain kindly feeling toward their
old home, and will take care that
Wisconsin suffers no detriment at the
hands of Congress.

The Presidents colored valet,

claim his seat.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

Tomorrow.

RICHMOND, February 21.-In the Senate
to-day the deadlock which prevailed in the
election Of Auditor for over two weeks, was
broken. The House had previously passed
joint resolution, providing for going into
an election on Thursday of Auditor, Rail-
road Commissioners, the various Corpora
tion Judges and Judges of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals, which resolution was soon
thereafter communicated to the Senate, and
chat body at once took it up. The
first vote taken was upon some
filibustering motion, which resulted In
a victory for the Readjusters. The roll call
showed that Senator Hale, one of the four
original boilers, and Senators Walker and
Mays, who had voted with the Democrats
on Saturday to postpone the election Of an
Auditor, had returned to their party allie
glance. Senator Wiugteld, Of Hanover
(straightout Republican,, slso voted with
the Readjusiers. The joint resolution to
elect the officers Thursday was passed-yeas
10; nays IL. This disposes OF Massey's
chances for the Authorship. The Read
iusters' nominee, s. Brown Allen, OF Au-
gusta, will certsinlY be elected on Thursday.
Both Houses have adopted resolutions ad-
journing over till Thursday on account Of
