Female Clerks Must Go.
From u OAtoaQo Neaea


"What appears to be the sentiment of the
present administration Ia regard to the en-
ployment of women as clerksg inquired the
Netos correspondent OF high Treasury official
yesterday.
UNLESS the rules of the civil service COM
mission are changedY' was the reply, "the
women will be slowly eliminated from the
departments. Four out OF five heads Of de-
partments will ask for a man when there is a
vacancy made by the resign alton, dea h., or
dismissal OF woman. | have had two
vacancies within the past month, and have
filled them both with men. l am opposed to
women having places in the departments
unless they can be put into divisions by them
selves, under chiefs Of their own Sex. Then |
believe their work would be up to the
average of the men; but whenever they are
brought under the rule of men they use
The arts and privileges of their sex to get out
OF work altogether, or to slight 10 whenever
they can. Moreover, ali the bother about leaves
OF absence comes from the employment Of
women in the departments. One Of the oom-
mlttee which recently inspected our depart
ment told me that no change in the rule in
regard to sick leaves and leaves of absence
would have been made unless it had been nee
essary to bring the female clerks under an
lronclad rule. Out of 60 cases here the
leaves from all causes had exceeded sixty
days in year, 40 were female clerks. ana the
men employed outnumbered the women four
to one"
"But the ladies in the departments seem to
be unanimously opposed to having women
over b0em.
Then they warrant all l say on the sub
ject"
Would women make good chiefs of divl-
s1on?"
Eyes. 1t would take no more judgment to
select good chiefs from fifty women than from
FIFTY men. All men are not At TO direct 9TH
ers. some of the best clerks have proved total
failures as chief. ] have nearly a score Of
ladies in my division, and ] could select at
least three out of them capable in every re
spect to run my own division after a little ex
perience--I mean with corps Of exclusively
female clerks"

The Weekly News and the Country
Press

Our esteemed contemporary, the Way
cross Reporter, has this to say about the
MORNING NEWS:
There are rumors afloat that the MORN
ING News intends TO squeloh the country
papers. That able journal will find this
an uphill business, as the communities in
which the country papers exist recognize
too keenly their value and services in
keeping their sections up 70 withhold their
patronage from them. No well-regulated
community can afford to be without
newspaper in these progressive times.
We suppose that the Reporter refers to
the late reduction of the WEEKLY NEWS
to 81 % per annum. II we are right in
this superstition, we have no hesitation in
saying that the rumOrs to which the Re
porter refers are wholly without founda-
ton.
There is not a country paper In Georgia
to which the MORNING NEWS would not
lend helping hand il it could, and II
requested. The MORNING NEWS and the
country press have always enjoyed rela-
lions Of the most kindly character, and it
is our earnest wish that their relations
shall continue to be harmonious and
pleasant.
In reducing the price Of the WEEKLY
NEWS there was no intention to interfere
with the circulation OF the country
papers, nor do we think it will interfere
with it. Every intelligent and progress
sive man will take his county paper, even
though ne should take half dozen other
papers, and he will always give his coSn
tY paper the prefprAnca II he finds for
any reason that he can only take one
paper.
The price Of the WEEKLY NEWS was
reduced because two other daily journals
| of the State had reduced the subscription
| price Of their weekly to Sl.25, and the
| MORNING NEWS, although publishing a
much better weekly, is not the kind OF a
1 journal 10 permit any OF its State cOntem-
/ poraries TO even seem 10 be more liberal
in dealing with the public than 1t is.
We are competing with our daily con.
| temporaries, and not with the journals OF
/ the different counties. We believe that
the increasing circulation OF the WEEK,
LY NEws-and it is increasing with won.
derful rapidity help, rather than OBJ
struct, the circulation Of the country
papers, because II will increase the taste
for reading, and hence the desire for
reading matter. However, although we
have the very highest appreciation OF the
merits of the WEEKLY News, we have
no hesitation in advising the people oil
the State 10 subscribe for their cou nty pa
! pers before subscribing for any other.

Ocean Grove, N. j., the camp-meeting
watering place, is said TO be almost
modern Eden. A New York exchange
says: zone is not allowed to crack a Joke

Sunday. Not a wheel is turned, not
thing can be bought, even 20 drop Of
milk or a newspaper. People don't think
Of locking their doors, but leave their
pOcketboOks and other valuable articles
lying around the rooms when they go out
and in full view OF the passer-by in the
street" II the brethren there are wise,
now that their confidence in human ma.

ploy good large corps Of detectives with
out moments delay. A brigade Of
Gotham thieves could run down to the
Grove and clear the cottages OF all
yaluables during single prayer meeting.
Perhaps, however, they have a regular
force OF detectives employed, and hence
their simple trustfulness. They may
probably obey the scriptural injunction.

A Cattle Queen's Escapade.

CHICAGO, August Mrs. Salm, the self
styled cattle queen of Houston, Texas, and
incidental owner of four large cattle
ranches, 1875, 1000 head of cattle, and dia-
monds to the value of SIS, 900, who has
been attracting considerable attention
here the past week, has suddenly departed
from the Palmer House. Mrs Sslm's
arrival took place week ago yesterday.
She whiled away the time by driving q
team of spirited horses, four-in-hand be-
ing her outfit one day. The money for
this little amusement failed to appear at
the clerks desk. Her board bill was grow
ing in dimensions The clerk on Thurs
day insinuated that it was customary for a
guest not known to the proprietor to make
a deposit for the board bill. Mrs. Salm
expressed her regret that 1t was after
banking hours The clerk intimated that
she could have no objections to delivering
her jewels as collateral for the bill. She
said THAI she was business woman, was
acquainted with the ways of the world,
and had no objection TO such proceeding.
The jewelry included an alleged diamond
necklace, pearl earrings, and a silver
spoon, with an alleged diamond in the
bowl Their value, as assessed by jew
eler, amounts, it is now ascertained. to SIS,
the most valuable article being the silver
spoon. She owed board bill Of S75.
