ALTHOUGH offensive partisanship IS tn

ALTHOUGH offensive partisanship IS the
guillotine which is removing good many
heads in the Washington departments,
nearly as many victims are being sacrific-
ed on the altar of the goddess Economy.
And We are free to say that these sacri-
fetal rites of the new administration are
to be commended. There is no reason
why the government should employ q
larger number of clerks and assistants to
do certain amount of work daily than
any private business house; and yet it is
known that the proportion is twice as
large in the former as in the latter. A
reduction Of the working force on the
ground of economy will find favor every
where except among the clerks them
selves and the Office seekers, but the dis
missal of men who are capable and ef-

yictlons, is hardly in accordance with the

WANTED---A MAN.

An esteemed contemporary asserts that
a young lady graduate at Meadville, this
State, selected as the subject for her essay
"Wanted-A Man, " and though of course
she only expressed the sentiment of every
girl in the graduating class and every girl
in the universe, for that matter, the
confession appears to be creating some
surprise.
OF course the young lady graduate
went on to say that it was not any sort of
man that she wanted. 1t Was not dude,
with smooth hair, nor a mere dashing
beau in good clothes, much less spend
thrift. loud but would-be respectable
scamp, who would first ruin his wife's
life then mortgage her silver. The young
lady graduate, of course, wanted a man
that amounted to something, that was
somebody and could do mans part in
the household and the world.
In this, too, she expressed the universal
yearning of all the girl graduates and the
other girls, too. But bless their dear
hearts, did it ever occur to them to ask
of what earthly use the average girl
graduate could be to such a man. Will
she paint plaques for him; fling little chips
of French in his ears; drum on the piano
and wreck his nerves; dress fine for the
street and be a dowd at home; neglect her
body and her mind and think that her
only mission is to be cared for? Of
course she wants man; needs one badly.
But suppose she begins to query what she
will do with him or for him when he is
found.-PhilndelphS Times.

THE Bishop of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Peoria declares that woman
should not be shut out from any career
that offers her the means of an honest
livelihood. For the same work she
should receive the same wages as a man,
and should hold her property in virtue
of the same right that secures to him the
possession Of his own. For wrong
doing of whatever kind she should not
be made to suffer severer punishment
than is inflicted upon man. The world
will continue to he unjust to her until
public sentiment makes the impure man
as odlous as itmakes the impure woman.
The best interests of mankind, Of the
church, and the state, will be served BY
widening and strengthening woman's
influence"

Miss Cleveland has settled in a COM
mon sense, practical way the much dis
cussed question of who is the first lady
in the land. Several days ago. the neces-
sity Tor some house-cleaning supervision
having arisen, she routed her social op-
ponents by tying towel around her head
and in unpretentlous dress personally
directed the corps of servants as to the
manner in which the work had to be done.
1t may be assumed that there will be
some cutlery by those who attempt to
sway polite society against any such
home1y argument as this, but it is equally
probable that the masses of the people
will uphold Miss Cleveland for her unas-
Stunning conduct. The leading lady in
the land ought to be able to lead in the
matter Of overseeing Homework as we'll

occupations of dancing German or dis

sentence of death against O'Donovan
Rosa. was acquitted June S0th, on the
ground Of insanity. The strangest feature
about this case is that the accused made
no plea of insanity and made no attempt
to escape the full responsibility of her
act. She insisted in her last statement

given him fair trial, and she was willing
to take the consequences. For once it

| The Plymouth colony sent 50 men, one third
OF their regular force, under command of
Capt. Michael Piercs to Attleboro to defend
their frontier against the Indians. Their
! troops were surrounded by force estimated
! at LOCO. Capt. Pierce placed his men in the

until every man was killed. 800 Indians were
killed In the assault. The Indian chief in
command was CanOnchet. A company was

days later, the whites under "Old Woodoock''

without loss to themselves. In the immediate
locality of Pierce's fight, is the spot called
"Nine Mems Misery" where nine men. sur
rounded by the Indians, fought with their
backs against large rock until all were kill

heap OF stones. Some years ago, it began to
be questioned as to whether the legend was
true, so the stones were taken away, and the
skeletons of men, in good state of preser-
