A wOMAN'S WAR.

A woman's war Is imminent In
New Orleans. Long after the official
appointment of Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, of Boston, as President of the
Woman's Department OF the coming
exposition in that city ana her ac~
ceptance of the trust, it suddenly is
discovered, presumed Dr. supposed
that some Southern woman should
have been promoted to the post, and
ladies in New O.leaDs declare that
there are plenty OF them quite caPa-
BILE of filling the position with credit,
ability and honor. To all which the
secretary OF the exposition officially
announces the following c0gent rea-
sons for the appointment of Mrs.
Howe:
l. That q woman of national repu.
tation was needed. 2. A woman an
incumbered and with time to devote
to the work. s. A woman with
physical ability for the work. 4. A
woman of executive ability. 5. A
woman of wealth. 6. A woman who
would unite all the women of the
country and be accepted by all sec
lions and all classes.
And Mrs. Howe is declared to fill
all the requirements of this bill, and
is therefore fully competent to ill the
place to which she is appointed. The
fact that she is q Northern and q
Boston woman has nothing to do
with the matter, and Mrs. Howe is
assured of . most cordial reception

Now that the election Of Cleveland

question is, what will be the COM

though the large Democratic majority
in the House Of Representatives will
be cut down that body will still be
Democratic by . good working ma
jority. The exact msjorty cann0s ~
yet be stated, but 1t will be more than
ample for effective and aggressive
work. The future complexion Of the
Senate is more uncertain. The term
Of twenty-five members expires on
March 8, 1885, Of which fourteen are
Democrats and eleven Republicans.
OF the former those from A'abama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia. Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland.
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and
South Carolina will have Democratic
s-uccessors, most Of whom are al
ready selected. California will elect
. Republican instead Of Farley, and
Oregon elects . Republican to sue
coed Slater, while Illinois seems to
have secured q Democratic legislature
which is to chooses Senator In place
of Logan.
Jones of Nevada will probably sue
coed himself, and from the drift of
our dispatches Roscoe ConkjiDg may
succeed Lapham. Of New York.

some of whom will surely be
by Democrats: Harrison,
Of Illinois; 6ewell, Of Now Jersey;
of New York, and Mah.:n OF
