A large number of workingmen and
teamsters have been kept waiting
anxiously for their pay, the city council
not getting any quorum for meeting at
which to allow the bills. These city
politicians promise the workingmen a
great deal, when appealing for their
votes, but when once in Office they allow
teamsters to wait their pleasure to pay
them money, which they need greatly
for living expenses, and then pay them
in warrants, which they have to sell for
just what the money.shovers choose to
give. With city warrants, as they are
the least the city can do, is t, allow the
bills promptly.
The BEE was in greater demand in
Council Bluffs yesterday than ever. Its
special dispatch concerning the report of
Blaine's illness was "scoop" on all the
papers in this part of the west, and while
the dear old grandmother was smirking
over her unparalleled effort to get up six
columns of telegraphic news, THE BEE as
usual came out with nearly ten columns.
The Nonpariels telegraph was set, too,
in BREWER, while The BEE set its in
solid minion. Instead of old plates that
had been passed along the line of all the
country papers, THE BEE set up in its
own office fresh reading matter Added |
to these advantages, THE BEES reports
have received many compliments for
their fairness.

Herald evidently "hss EN- bad" He
claims to have discovered that SIN the

Men and Women.

1t has long been deplored that when
brothers and sisters meet in the holi.
days they have so few topics in conf
mon; that is, so few derived from their
several courses of study. They have
nothing to say to one another, unless il
be such talk as they might have with
out any education, and in which the3
are possibly beaten by those who have
none. Yet it can not be denied that
there are studies more proper, and
more easy, to one sex than the other,
and that what we find to be the custom
must be in great measure our rule
for the future. There is here or there
a female prodigy, but women are GER
tainly not at home in the dead Ian
gnages. A lady will tell you, no doubt
with truth, that she has read through
the Eneid with her father Try her.
She can not Gonstrue a line. Few
women can put up with philology. The
bare mention of derivation gives
them the fidgets. They cannot, like
men, spend an evening in harmonizine
dates and periods. They are without
the calm impartiality which the histo-
rian must at least assume, unless he is
content to be the advocate of cause.
They are wanting in the judicial power
necessary to all action as well as opin-
ion. They must be interested that is
made partisans. On the other hand,
they have immense powers for the &C
QUESTION and mastery of details,
especially if at all of a picturesque
character. They can make an agree
able and instructive narrative out of the
stuff philosophic or constitutional
historian throws aside. But of almost
every work of the intellect and the
higher faculties they seem doomed to
fall short. The ''nobler' sex. as it is
arrogantly and unfairly called, has SO
far always the advantage. That women
can feel as nobly as men, and act as
nobly, none can doubt. But when ii
comes to the trial of strength, the poem,
the history, the essay. the speech. or what
not, they are beaten. Here they have
a fair field and no favor, yet they are
distanced. This natural difference
must always be difficulty in the COM
mon use of examinations, schools or
other academic appliances. The uni
versities are at present adapted to the
case of men. 1t can hardly be contem-
plated that they shall be neutralized SO
as to aim at a mean between the
sexes. Special honors for the severa!
subjects go some way to meet the diff
Guilty, but there is hardly a subject.
unless it be pure mathematics, that
cannot be treated in masculine or il
feminine style, as may be required

NEW YORK, June 3.-Rufe Minor, a we'll

avenue for completely in the robbery of a
bank in Augusta, Ga, March "A. He was
taken South. Minor, who is about forty.
five years old, has been implicated in
nearly all the large bank robberies
which have been committed in the past
ten or twelve years. He is an associate of
such men as Johnny Jordan, Big Rice, Lit
tie Horace, Little Billy Burke and Molly
Matches. He is of good appearance, has
great gift of CAB, and possesses the art OF
engaging a cashiers attention while con-
federate is sneaking the cash to perfection.
When arrested he gave the name of George
Williams. The last time he was arrested
by Inspector ByrneS after the robbery of
the Bank of Baltimore, September p, 1882,
of S.. 900, he managed to escape convic-
ton. be is also known TO have been among
those who robbed the First National Bank
of Detroit of $4,000 in 1879, the Middle
town Savings Bank of S56,O in 1881, and
the Philadelphia Safe Deposit Company of
81 900 in railway bonds in 1882. He also
had something to do with smaller affairs,
such as the Brooklyn POst-Office and ProvL
dence Gas Company robberies.

that of the cabin passengers, is COM

passengers than the law permits, or
than were named in the manifests.
Not only do the Commissioners of
Emigration protect their often helpless

les, and unspeakatle villianies of the
human harpies who formerly infested
the docks, and preyed upon the luckless
incomers-not only do they supply in
terpreterS, maintain an employment
bureau, assist in the exchange of funds,
purchase of tickets, forwarding of i'm
migrants and baggage-but they also
license the boarding house runners, and
subject them to rigid supervision.
They further provide for the sick and
