An open rupture between President
Cleveland and a portion of the Demo-
cratic party is imminent, if not already
to a large extent existing. Some of
the leading Democratic journals, like
the New York World, are in open hos
tility to the President. II is said a
general movement will be made by
dissatisfied members of the Democratic
party to ask Mr. Cleveland to define
his position definitely, how far he in
tends the removal of Republicans now
holding Office, and giving patronage to
the victorS who helped to elect him.
The question must be considered, what
is proper cause for removal? If hav-
ing only exercised the right of citizen
ship. by voting the Republican ticket,
constitutes an offence sufficient for
being dismissed from Office, then civil
service is nothing but farce. The orig
inal trainers of the civil service rules
distinctly declared that free expression
of political opinions is an inalienable
right which could not be interfered
with. 1t was understood that where
an ofice.holder took advantage of his
position to interfere with elections,
that would be held a violation of the
rules of civil service. But if no such
improper interference is proven. and
the incumbent of an Office only exer-
cised his voting privilege, he cannot
be disturbed without violation of good
faith, provided no other charges are
brought against him.

The women are after all the most re-
liable friends for the enforcement of
the law against the liquor traffic.
That fact has been fully established in
the cities of Iowa, where every scheme
that human ingenuity can devise Inns
been resorted to for the defeat Of the
laws prohibiting the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors. For instance, in many
cities nearly all the women signed a
protest against tolerating the saloons.
An equal number. of men could by no
means have been induced to sign a
similar protest. This is without doubt
a true index of the sentiment of the
women in the towns and cities of this
state. If the sense of the women Of
Kenosha were taken for and against
the granting of liquor licenses. it is be-
lieyed great majority would say no.
The vote in the country towns would
be stiH more emphatic against the
traffic. IF women were privileged
with the ballot on this question alone,
it would introduce reform for which
80 many temperance men are laboring

Ex-senator Doolittle, for many years
familiarly known to the people of this
county and state, is understood to be
an applicant for a foreign appointment
under President Cleveland. Senator
Doolittle, when on the wave of pop
ularity in the Republican party, stray
ed away following after Andrew John
son, much to the dissatisfaction of his
old Republican friends. But now that
he has been standing outside waiting
for a long time, no doubt ere this all
unkind party prejudices against him
have been extinguished. Men of all
parties concede him to be a man of
much more than ordinary ability, and
would be pleased to have him succeed
in the object of his wishes.

talented and brilliant lecturers in
Europe or America could command
nothing like that sum for nights lee
ture. Quite a difference is there be-
tween the effect produced by the sing
er and the lecturer; the one appeals to
the pleasurable sensation of hearing,
and the other to the higher intellectual
faculties, the mind. Both afford enter
tainment of a gratifying kind, but one
claims superiority over the other.
Nine. Patti perhaps has no superiors,
if equals, on either side of the Atlantic.

ENLARGBMENT OF WOMAN'S
SPHERE.

In the department of the Inter
Ocean devoted to woman's progress in
Industrial occupations, Florence M !.
Anderson gives an encouraging view
of the constantly enlargening sphere
of woman. Its comparatively only a
few years ago that women were limited
to but few trades, by which to obtain
livelihood; indeed the number of
employments, aside from the domestic
affairs of the family, could be counted
on the fingers of one hand. The change
has been great; new avenues for Wo-
mans work have been opened in every
direction. The United States census
for 1880 reveals the fact that over two
and half millions of women and girls
were occupied in the pursuits denom-
mated "gainful occupations" and of
the forty-four classified occupations,
women have made their way into
three-fOurths of the whole number.
1t is not many years since unmarried
women were found in employments
outside of their own homes except in
factories; now it is quite different
Twenty-Five years ago the question was
sneeringly asked, "How women would
look at work" in avocations, which are
now accorded to them without com.
ment. There were those who admitted
it desirable that women would be
benefited by perhaps two or three ad-
ditional kinds of work, but no one pro-
posed to open the door wide to SO
many of the occupations Of men; that
would have been thought vulgar. But
by hundreds and by thousands they
have entered Oh the duties which pub
lie opinionshad assigned to men alone.
and no one is now so fastidious as to
question the proprlety of their choice.
1t is estimated from statistics gather
ed in Chicago that there are $4,000
women and girls in that city who are
engaged in various kinds of work
which was once exclusively the bust.
ness of men. AS has been said by an
other, despite the ridicule, opposition
and persecution, women ave found
opportunities, pressed their way and
made themselves a positive, potent
and productive element, and are still
conquering new avocatlons." Going
out into the world and entering into
the various branches of business has
not had the effect of deteriorating wo-
men and rendering them less refined
but has impaired to them wider
scope of thought, and better fitted
them for the active duties Of life. AS.
has been well remarked, ga money
making occupation for young women
is a means for developement and a
source of strength. 1t makes them
self-reliant and independent; it broad
ems their intellects, increases their
knowledge, and renders them less sus-
ceptible to temptation. The time is
near at hand. if it has not already
come, when honorable occupations of
every kind will be regarded as respect
able for women as for men. A sense
of delicacy may properly exclude some
employments from women, but those
for such reason are very
few.

NO LIGHT IN THE CHURCHES.


It was dark in all the churches in
this city on the south side of the river
last Sunday night. except one, and that
but dimly lighted. The four churches,
Catholic. Methodist, Congregationalist
and Episcopal, depend on gas for light.
Three of the churches were not opened
for evening services, it having been
announced the gas was not in condition
to illuminate. The Methodist friends
opened their church, venturing on the
remnantof gas still lingering, emitting
a feeble light, and managed TO get
through the service just in time to es-
cape being left in darkness. Speaking
of church lighting brings to mind the
simple method once in general use, and
still in many church buildings, of tai
low candles set in tin candlesticks,
fastened to the wall. Two generations
earlier a still more primitive method
was reserted to; common table fork
was thrust through tallow candle and
stuck into the wall. The tallow can
die is probably the most early of artifi-
cial lights, and doubtless used in the
sanctuaries in bible times.

The Prince of Wales, who is the heir
apparent to the throne of England, and
the Princess of Wales have been max
ing a tour through the towns and cities
of Ireland, Their visit to that coun-
try was received with great demonstra.
tions of goodwill and Of dislike. They
were vociferously cheered by the loyal
lists, and Missed by those on the other
side. In these two opposite demonstra-
tons there were scenes of street
violence, but no fatal encounters.
The prince bore himself with as much
composure as circumstances would al
low in these tumultuous exhibitions
of loyalty and disloyalty. 1t is stated
the prince made personal inquiry in
some quarters of the cities visited to
learn the condition of the poorer class
es, and expressed sorrow for their des-
titution. Every philanthropist can
but hope that Edgland will heed the
wants of Ireland.

In an essay read few evenings since
by DR.. Lilienthal, an eminent New York
physician, he stated that, during 81 chol-

who wore camphor in bag over the
chest escaped the disease, though there
were deaths around them by the score.
The use Of camphor in epidemics OF
diphtheria, scarlet fever and malarial
fever has been attended with good re-
suits, and in incipient colds it is almost
q specific.
