Female Education.

EDITORS CLARION: | was glad to see
4'Eyder" turn upon her assailants and
give them tit for tat: with little boot
thrown in. thought, when read two
letters taking issue with her, that they
were hardly relevant. They were aimed
at bangs and kindred follies, while the
subject under discussion was female ed.
ucation.
Can The CLARION inform its readers
why it is that so much has been done in
this State for the free education of the
stronger sex and so little for the weaker ?
Not long ago, / heard the following
words from the lips of a widowed
mother: 81 have not the means to ed
ncate any of my children, but the State
comes to my aid so far as my boys arc
concerned. They can go either to Ok
ford or Starkyille. As for my girls,
there is no such opportunity for them,
They will have to grow up unedu-
Gated" ..'E
The truth conveyed by the above
words has been felt by thousands of par
ents in this State, and MS yet no salts
factory reason has been given for the
unjust discrimination in favor of one
sex over the other.
To be sure, some one present when
the lady expressed herself as above
stated, did remind her that she conld
send her girls to Oxford as well as her
boys. "4ou are mistaken" was the
reply. II might be able to send other
peoples girls there, but never my own

heard gentleman say, "by sending the
girls to Oxford, is the refining influence
they have over the boys"
The same old song! Every thing for
the boys. But it is justice to the eirls
IN their own right that is demanded
II Is a question of giving them equal
educational advantages with the bow,
without STIMULATING that they shall, by
way OF payment shed refining, or any
other sort of influence, on the latter.
Surely, enough has already been done

AS predicted by your cOrrespOn ent
Prof. H. I. Morton has been retained as
principal OF our public schools for another
year. Prof. Morton may not be the bes,
man that could have been secured for the po-
sition, but he was immessurably superior to
any Of the other applicants. The school
board did wisely in selecting him. The
board made mistake, however, in the reso-
luton passed prohibiting married women
being employed in the schools. If married
men can be employed, why not married
women? 1t is an admitted fact that the
married women employed in our school
last year we're in every respect equal, and
in many the superior, Of the unmarried as
teachers. The position of school director
is a thankless Office, and those who fill it
should not be criticised too harshly. The
school board isn't near so mysterious as it
used to be. If the people would remove a
few of the mossbacks yet in Office we might
have b chance to know what our servants
are doing and why.

THE SESSION ENDED.

The Legislature has adjourned and Its
record Is before the people. IL did some
very good things, left undone some impor-
tant things that 1t should have done, but did
nothing very seriously bad in the way of
legislation. Governor Crosby exercised the
veto power freely-sometimes very wisely,
and again assigning reasons for Withholding
his approval that perhaps he will hereafter
not view In the same light. The great ap-
parent error manifest on looking over the
enactments Is the large percentage of special
legislation, on which much time was con-
sumed, when enactments generally applica-
BILE might have better occupied attention.
There were several special municipal incor-
poration acts passed and yet the Thirteenth
Session did not find time to briefly amend
the general act now on the books, SO that it
could be made available by towns of less
than GAO acres area. After passing a num-
Der of special acts authorizing the issue of
bonds for construction of school houses it
finally passed general law on that subject,
but after authorizing the incorporation of
Missoula and Bozeman the Council killed
an amendment to the general incorporation
act that would have permitted all towns to
incorporate. Again, after refusing to repeal
the unlawful interference act, which protects
employers from wrongs of laborers, the as
sembled wisdom of Montana could not, or at
least, did not, devise measure that would
protect laborers from the wrongs of employ
ers. 1t passed an act, which was vetod, au-
thorlzing six unsworn stock inspectors at
$3.50 per month to arrest persons without
writ or notice, but it failed to pass an act
whereby party taking up an estray might
and in failure thereof have the animal sold.
1t prohibited the working of conviets outside
the penitentiary, but did not say to Congress
that the inadequate U. S. penitentiary has
only 2S cells to hold GA prisoners, that there
were no facilities for working them inside
the building or enclosures, and that continu-
GUS confinement in cramped quarters, with
out exerci Sc, means disease and desperate
efforts TO escape. 1t bounced the Custer
County Commissioners for piling up an
enormous debt on Custer County, but 1t did
not legislate to prevent other Commission
ers from doing likewise. We cite these few
instances Of what might be termed uneven
legislation. But withal, there were many
good enactments and taken altogether the
result was fair.
Our Deer Lodge delegation aside from Its
political composition, was good one. Speak
er Mayhem and Councilman Mitchell are ex-
perienced Legislators and Representative
Armstrong made very creditable record.

Pacific mouth of the proposed canal some

newspaper says that the Franco American
trading company have signed a contract for

Eleven Men Burned In n Lodging House.
DEADwooD, March 1.-THE men who es-
capped from the burning Brownville lodging
house give the following story: They were
awakened by the blowing Of the locomotive
whistle about one o'clock on Sunday morn
ing. The room was filled with smoke from
below, and fire was leaping up around the
kitchen stove pipe. The men were dazed,
but four went down the ladder and escaped
with severe injuries, and three escaped un-
hurt through small sliding window leading
from the loft to the roof of an adjoining
building. OF the eighteen persons in the
house eleven persisted; two bodies were re-
duced TO ashes. The men had saved up their
earnings, and it is supposed endeayored TO
gst their meley and valuables out of their
trunks, and thus lost the opportunity to es-
cape. The building, constructed Of pitch
pine, was totally consumed In thirty min
utes after The discovery of the fire.

New YORK, March 13.-The steamer
Claudius left here this morning to tow the
steam dredger, Comtesse de Lesseps, to As
pinwall, where she Is to begin work on the
Panama canal. She is $50 feet long, 90 feet
wide and u feet deep. 1t is estimated there
will be ten miles of cutting in soft mud in
Aspinwall. The contract calls for trench
1S5 feet on top, 100 feet at the bottom and
27a feet deep. The Claudius expects to
make the trip down. in fourteen to eighteen
days. The machinery Of the dredger, which
was brought to Philadelphia from San Fran
cisco, is very heavy, and the Claudius ex-
poets and is prepared for a difficult task.
Should the weather be stormy, she will hug
the coast closely from the Capes to Hatteras,
thence crossing the gulf stream and making
for the Crooked Island passage. It is re-
garded as the greatest towing undertaking
ever attempted since the towing Of the Ber-
mazda dry docks in sections across the At

loads of colored people and their household
goods are seen at various points, seeking for
ground to rest on. At Startling, colored
people, horses and cattle are indiscrfminately
huddled In the upper story Of the only store
there. At Star Landing, the dwellings are
full Of cattle, and the gin house is full OF
negroes. The prospects are certainly favor
