WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Four Female Candidates in Montana Ter
ritory on the Stump.

Four Female Candidates in Montana Ter
ritOry on the Stump.
From the PiifSJurg Commercial Gazette.
At the last local election in Montana
there were four women in the field run
ming for County Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, and, like the other sex,
ran on the straight out political tickets,
either as Republicans, Democrats, or
Independents. That canvass, when
the girls took the stump against their
male competitors, was one of the most
amusing things that ever happened.
Miss Clark, in Lewis and Clarke
county, is not only talented youny
lady, but also ali expert politician. By
the votes of the boys she got there all
right, and left her antagonist far in the
rear, dazed and defeated candidate
in Meagher county two girls were
pitted against each other, and the fight
was quite lively. Miss Darcy was the
candidate of the unwashed Democrats,
while Miss Nichols mustered with the
Republican boys. In the fight broom
sticks, hairpins, bustles, &c, were the
weapons used, and for while it was
beyond the prophecy of man to fortell
which destructive weapon would be
the most formidable and death dealing.
1t was hard to tell which one of the
young ladies was the handsomest, but
at a distance everybody presumed that
both were lovely. Well, everybody
voted, as everybody should, and Miss
Darcy won the day, but her defeated
rival claimed, and justly, too, that her
defeat reflected in no way personally
upor heself, as Meagher county was,
and always had been, Democratic
In Gallatin county Miss Hamilton
announced herself as an independent
candidate. One of the Gallatln county
papers, the organ and hacker of Miss
Hamilton, came out day or two be
fore the election as follows:
"Hamilton enters the field against
the odds Of regular party nomination.
Hamilton has got sand, and she will
stay until the polls close. Hamilton
should be elected. She says she isn't
afraid of road agents, and that educa-
ton is her forte also that it would af
ford her pleasure to hop around from
one country school house to another in
the performance of her duty. The men
of Gallatin are confounded mean if
they don't run Hamilton in" &c.
Nevertheless, Hamilton was defeated,
and Gallatin county has male Super-
intendent of Public Instruction.

THE Secretary of the Treasury states
that he is calling in small notes, and
endeavoring thus to make room for a
larger amount of silver dollars in circu-
lation. If so, he is trying an old ex-
pertinent, which Republican Secretaries
have tried long and faithfully. 1t was
the idea of Republican financiers to
make room for larger circulation OF
silver coins by getting rid of the small
notes as far as possible. Every expe-
dent known to the law was then ex-
hausted in striving to get silver dollars
into circulation. The people preferred
the small notes. While the financiers
thought it wises that the small notes
should not circulate, the people wanted
them, insisted on having them, and in
the end prevailed. If Mr.. Manning
meets with better success, it will either
be evidence that the people have
changed their desire, or else a proof
that he disregards the law as Republic
can Secretaries declined to do.

THE Democrats of Pennsylvania are
evidently pleasing themselves with the
hope that they can make political
issue helpful to themselves out of the
popular feeling about the combination
of Pennsylvania and Vanderbiltralroad
interests. The opposition to the sale
of the South Pennsylvania is very strong,
and the Democrats hope to represent
themselves as the exclusive defenders
of the public interest in the matter.
The Republican Convention declined
to ''resolve" about it, and the Demo
Gratis think it a fine chance to pass
solemn resolutions and to institute pro-
ceedingS in court.

Mr.. Edmunds Believes t:.a: IL Is Dc:enai-
ating Into IL SpoilsmeI's Government.
In an interview will! correspondent
of the Boston Ecening Record Senator
Edmunds talked fire. ely on National
topics. With reference to the Burling
ton Collectorship he said Well, 50 far
as that is concerned, any one who knows
me, and my course in years past, knows
that have always been and am still Il
friend aud advocate of Civil Service re-
form. He knows too, that l should OPP
pose any departure from the principle in
the matter of appointments, whether the
person Immediately concerned be IA friend
or an entire stranger; whether he be
from Vermont or Texas. As to the
policy of the Administration in this mat
ter | said last spring that Mr.. Cleve-
lands intentions were good, and that if
he got the right kind of men abont him
lie might be able to carry out his pur
poses in this regard. BY right of men
meant men friendly to Civil Service re-
form, and with backbone to stand out
against the opposition they would en-
counter from the Democratic spoilsmen.
Such opposition must necessarily be very
great, for the larger part of that party
still cling to the Old Jacksonan principle
in regard to appointments. Bat Presi-
dent Cleveland bias not about him the
men who would help him in adhcring to
Civil Service reform. The majority of
his Cabinet are uniavorablc to it. Now
it is impossible for one man to inveSti-
gate the details concerned in each APP.
pointment. The President cannot know
himself the circumstances Of | per cent.
of the appointments he makes. There
would not be time enough il he worked
twenty four hours day for him to at
tend personally to them. Hence the
difficulty OF carrying out this principle
when the President and his advisers do
not agree in regard to it.
THUS it is, that at the present time a
NAH name comes up for removal some
specious charges have been prepared
against him, as in the case ot General
Wells, the man removed aud another ap-
pointment made without the truth or
falsity of the charges being known or
even investigated. | think there is no
doubt that gradually these charges will
continue until the policy and practice of
the Administration have degcnerated in
to simply Spoiis system. There is no
dOnbt that if the Senate had not been
Republican the change would have come
already. If the Senate had been Demo
cratic it would not have adjourned when
it did, but would have stayed over a
month or more and there would have
been "a clean sweep"

class" On the temperance question,
t attirms "the right and duty of the
State to regulate the traffic in liquor, "
but declares that ''thc Republican party
has not made the support of prohibit
ton a test of party fea'ty.'
This platform is declarative of the
essential doctrine held by Republicans
everywhere. They believe in equal
justice to all men, and equal protection
in the exercise of their legal rights. The
Democratic party does not so hold.
The Republican party believes in the
defence of American labor, and the
protection of American industries.
The Democratic party does not be
lieve in the principle of protection, but
would place the American mechanic in
direct competition with his half starved
English competitor.
The Republican party believes mine
regulation of the liquor traffic by such
methods as are in accordance with pub
lie sentiment IN each State, but makes
no particular method the test Of party
fealty. The Democratic party is gen.
orally in every State opposed to any re.
strictive legislation on the liquor ques-
ton.

THE PLATFORM OF TIL E
IOWA REPUBLICANS,

The declaration of principles by the
Republicans of Iowa in their State Con-
vention held last week is of general in
tcrest, because it indicates the drift of
Republican sentiment in populous
Western State, and in measure indi
Gates the position taken by Republi-
cans in other States. The platform de-
clares that the issues raised by the war
are not settled and cannot be so long
as organized rebellion against the
United States Constitution and laws de-
prives great bodies of, colored citizens
at the South of the right of suffrage. 1t
protests against the Union soldier
having one vote and the rebel soldier
having two" 1t points out that this
great wrong is also a menace to free
labor at the North, and drives Southern
blacks to Northern States for liberty
and employment. Next, it points out
that the Democratic doctrine of State
Rights has been reaffirmed in effect by
the Diplomatic appointments of the
Administration, and censures the selec-
ton of men to represent the Govern
ment abroad who deny its indissoluble
unity. 1t censures, too, the offensive
removals of disabled soldiers from
public service by means of the disrep
utable device of the offensive parti
san scheme" 1t opposes "the British
policy which is advocated by the Demo
cratic party under the guise of a tariff
for revenue only" 1t upholds Civil
Service reform, and declares that this
reform is not promoted by the appoint
ments of President Cleveland. 1t af
firms that public lands should be held
for actual settlers, and favors the I'M
provement of waterways and the sup
preston of polygamy. As to finances,
it opposes "any change in the laws that
will increase the burden of the debtor

Ir is announced with much display
that number of persons have been
improperly appointed or employed in
connection with the Alabama claims.
In the opinion of the present officials
of the Treasury Department, the bills
presented for the payment of these per-
sons and for the expenses of the Com
mission ought not to be paid. These
bills seem to have been certified as cor
rect by Mr.. Bayard, the Secretary of
State, so that the controversy assumes
the form of a charge by the Treasury
Department that the State Department
has been guilty of fraud. incidentally,
of course, there is a desire to clear out
as many of the present officials and en-
ployes as possible, in order to make
room at future date for appointment
of good Democratic Performers" in

IT is reported from the "city'' OF
Havre de Grace that the Democratic
reformers are terribly put out because
the office of Deputy Collector of Gus
toms there has been abolished by
the Treasury Department upon the
recommendation of Collector Webster.
The fact is that while the Office was
filled by Republican under Repub-
lican Administration it was denounced
by these same ''reformers' as a sine
cure, and not in any sense a public
benefit or convenience. Now because
there is one less office to reward ''of-
fensive partizans" with, the abolition of
this office is public outrage. Consis-

BISHOP FOSTER recently preached a
sermon at Martha's Vineyard which has
excited unusual comment among Meth
odists. The occasion was the dediCa-
ton of chapel, and the question which
the Bishop propounded was, "What
shall be the character of the services
held here in years to Gomez" The an
swer was in substance, "Not camp
meeting revival service, at all events. :"
According to the report of his discourse
the Bishop takes the broad ground that
modern religious revivals for the most
part do more harm than good. People
gotoa great summerresortl like Martha's
Vineyard because they find it apleasant
and healthful place for their families
and themselves, rather than because a
camp meeting is held there. They seek
rest and recreation, rather than the eX-
a element of religious revival. "Our
tabernacle services" he says, Unjust be
adapted to the level of the thoughts
