TIE soRosIs IDEA.

The discomfort which many married
women feel with what they call their de-
pendent position has been voiced by that
powerful aggregation of feminine interest,
the Sorosis club of New York. Starting
with the idea that marriage is a partner
ship in every sense of the word, with one
fell swOop they aim to destroy all the
romance and sentiment which cling to the
dual state of existence, by declaring that If
woman is expected to take upon herself
the cares and duties of the home,
she should be compensated for her
services. In other words she should
place herself in the position of
an upper servant whose merit
or demerit should be made the basis
of a monetary consideration, but who
should be secure from discharge by dis
satisfied employer. The Sorosis club.
which has at least kept itself within the
bounds of common sense, has done much
to expose itself to ridIcule by grossly de-
Gliding that it is the duty of women TO in
sist upon placing themselves in such a
revolving position. Every true-hearted
woman would regard with disgust such a
revolving proposition of self-degredation.
Marriage is a partnership, it is true,
but it is one i'm which, rightly
ordered, the monetary element is an incon-
siderable factor. 1t may be that in many
cases the wife finds distasteful necessity
for continually asking for that portion of
the joint income to which she is Justly en-
titled, but in the majority OF husbands the
matter adjusts itself without friction.
That she should put herself, in a pecuniary
sense, on level with her cook is intOler-
able. That it would rob marriage of all its
sacredness and render it the emptiest kind
of form Is inevitable. Sorosis will have
to make more commendable display of its
reasoning ability than is evidenced in the
outcome of this debate, before the country
gives it credit for the Intelligence it claims
to possess.

Kansas City Times.
Our st. Paul contemporaries are writhing
in ecstacy over their ice carnival. and pub
fishing glowing accounts thereof with gaudy
Illustrations Among these illustrations are
pictures of the ST. Louis visitor and the Chi

an easy-going gentleman who has just
awakened from a comfortable nap. The Chi

with his hands in his pockets, and a coun-
tenance which suggests thar mis- hands ought

is no likeness of the Kansas City man. for the
probable reason that the Kansas City man is
not there. He is at home attending to
business. If a Kansas City man wants an
ice carnival he can enjoy it on the sidewalk
in front of any wealthy citizens residence.
Down here we mingle our winter sports with
accident policies aud doctors ministrations
and other matters of a business nature.

set for the beginning of the discussion of

might have been made the special and con-

Feb. Is, but for the premature adjourn

monOpOliZe the time of the house for six
legislative days to the exclusion of every
thing except the daily call of committees
for reports. AS the Fitz-John Porter case
has been discussed until it is familiar
to the whole country, it is not improbable
that unanimous consent may be given
during the week to interrupt the flow
Of rhetoric long enough to take up and pass
the pension appropriation bill and possibly
some other matters that can be quickly d is

Jealous RIVALS.

The average Chicagoan is a hard fellow
to please. Nothing will please him unless
it happens in Chicago. Even the beauty of
our ice palace and the success of our car
niyal is disgusting to him because it is not
all in Chicago. The Herald comes out in an
editorial article advising people of the Lake
City TO keep away from st. Paul and for
want of better argument it remarks with
chattering teeth: 1T is not necessary TO
20 up to St. Paul to find winter" This is
an admission that Chicago man would
never have made unless driven TO
it by envy. The Chicago Tribune
catches on TO the cue furnished
by the Minneapolis Tribune, and goes into
'ecstacies over the announcement that the
ice palace is thawed down and that our
streets are rivers of water. If these two
leading journals were up to their usual en-
terprise they would have ascertained the
facts before giving publication to such erro-
neous statements. They should have
known that the ice palace still stands in all
its grandeur, and the streets are as dry as
Prohibition convention. and that the carni-
val is going ahead with increasing brill
fancy and merriment. If any of our Chi
cago friends are induced by the false state
ments Of their newspapers TO miss the
splendid entertainment the carnival affords,
we are sorry for them. 1t will be their
loss. not ours, for the carnival viii go ahead
just the same. And if they can't be in
Guced to come up here and enjoy the most
delightful winter climate in the world, then
we urge them to adopt the advice of our
Chicago contemporary TO go South-any-
thing TO get out of Chicago.

Future Complications.

The Milwaukee Sc st. Paul is getting
ready to commence active work on its new
Kansas City extension, and it is expected
that the new line will be completed by next
fall. Mr.. Armour, it is said, is mainly re-
sponsible for the construction of the new
extension. He not only has large interests
in Chicago but in Kansas City, and this new
extension will greatly benefit his interests.
This new venture means that the Miiwau-
kee e. st. Paul is II thrust itself into the
territory now occupied by the Northwest
ern, which controls the Omaha. These in
terests will hardly permit its competitors to
come in and take its business without ex-
tending to Kansas City also. In that event
it would run nearly parallel with the chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, which may re-
sist any attempt to invade its territory.
But the most important protest against this
extension will come from the Rock Island.
This new extension would partly parallel
the Rock Island and interfere with its
traffic. There are some railroad managers
who, IN spite of the positive assurances of
the st. Paul people that the road will be
built, still think that the scheme will not be
carried out and that after all some arrange
ment will be made by which the disturbing
element will be quieted without building a
new line to Kansas City.

honor enough for the hyperborean city of ST.

MIA which he has been suffering from since
before he left New York. and he thinks he
shall remain in good condition during the
remainder of the contest The game to-
day is pronounced by experts as the best
yet, especially on the part of Stenitz, who,
during the last half of the game, played not
only brilliantly but aggressively, and de-
servedly won the admiration of the spec
tators. Mr.. SteinitZ having won three
games here, the contest is closed and will
be resumed at New Orleans in two weeks.
Both players will probably remain here a
week and then leave for the Crescent City.
The contest is now tie, each having won
four games. ZukertOrt resigned on the

The Hudson,s BayRoute.

Mr.. MeLennon of Winnipeg. one of the
gentlemen interested in the Hudson's Bay
route. says:
1t cannot help but pay, and IL must be built,
as the country cannot do without this rail-
way, as IL is the natural outlet for all this
great Northwestern country as far southeast
as st. Paul. Winnipeg is 1.266 miles nearer
Liverpool via Hudson's Bay than via New
York; Regina 1,600 miles nearer than via
New York; st. Paul, 500 miles nearer via
Hudson's Bay than via New York, so that the
traffic run over this road could not but be
enormous. Just take the wheat product in
Manitoba and the Canadian Northwest alone.
Say that there are $4,000 farmers in five years
from this date in this country, and they have
an average of fifty acres under wheat and an
average OF twenty-five bushels per acre. This
would make g., 5000, 0O0 bushels. Now. sup
pose that. making a safe calculation, there
would be l0.0OO,0O0 bushels surplus. This
would take about fifteen trains every work
ing day in the year to export it. Let US say
that farmers would get 10 cents more per
bushel for the surplus wheat than they do at
present. In five years from this date 40, OO0,-
900 bushels at 10 cents would be 8, 0O0, 900 per
year. In four years sufficient money would
be saved by the new outlet to pay for the
building of the road from Winnipeg to the
Hudson's bay, fully equipped aud in.working
order, and road in every respect equal to
the Canadian Pacific railway.
