The Front street Railway.

The City Council has passed @ reso-
IA ion requesting the Front and Union
City Railway Company to pave their
track between tbs rails from Monroe to
> ck'on streets. This the company IL
re uctant to do unless the City Council
agree to pay the bill. The company
AYERS that when the city entered into a
contract to raise the street grade for its
o vn accommodation it stipul ated To
r Use the railroad track and leave every.
thing in AZ good condition as 1t found
IL. This the company claims included
pltiing the track bet ween the rails in
ss good condition as 1t was found, and
1t must be admitted that there seems to
o's Just grounds for the claim. The
improvements were made for the bene.
iii OF the city and not for the railroad
company, nor were they made even at
Sue suggestion OF the railroad company.
The question arises then, wha. right
mas the city TO compel the railroad
company to assume this additional ex-
pense? Should such a principle be
adopted the city could at any time tear
up the tracks of that or any other CITY
rail- way In the improvement OF streets,
and compel the company to go to extra
expense In paving between the rails.
Since the Improvements on Front street
commenced the Front and Union City
Hallway Company has been put to a
great deal OF Inconvenience and extra
expense. This the managers willingly
bore for the sake of having the i'm
provements made, but they look very
properly upon the attempt Of the City
Council to compel them to 90 to the
extra expense Of paving between the
tracks after the city tore up their old
track and entered into covenant to leave
everything IS they were found, as tyran
tcai and unjust.

If it be true that intellectual pride Il
the characteristic Of this part of tn {
Nineteenth century, the full outcome
of the evil will be tentold augmented
if the desire for a mere intellectual
emineDce should be abetted and favor
ed among the young girls of this
period.
The evil that masters a man is item.
sited when it conquers woman.
The worldly dissipation which is
fast becoming the curse of this age,
will spoil a daughter or mother even
more than it will injure son or a hus-
| band.
Woman nature is finer than man S.
1t is more susceptible. and therefore
more vehement, more ardent, and
therefore less open to those adverse
contradictions and balancings which
come to the aid of a more calculating
judgment
On tine other hand, let me guard
myself against even seeming to create
a prejudice in relation to the very
highest intellectual culture among
young ladies.
The most educated and learned wo-
man of this century was Mrs Somer
vile, and her memoirs convey the i'm
preston of lady who came behind
in no womanly duty or family require
meDts.
lived in Florence for time when
Mrs. 4, Barrett Browning had her
home in that fair city,
SAe Was everywhere spoken of, not
only as q gifted prophecies, but as a
woman OF SURPRISING gentleness, sym
pathy, constituencies tor the poor and
suffering, and who was remarkably
practical in her methods of benevo-
lence and in her home life.
These names are merely quoted as
examples Of thousands Of women in
Europe and America, who combine
high, intellectual attachments with
practical abilities and spiritual sympa.
thies.
We may go further.
Few things were more demanded
fifteen years ago than those literary
examinations which proved that young
ladies were capable of intellectual at
tainments OF the highest order, and
that in point OF solid learning they
were rivaling their brothers.
The institution of these examina-
tons formed an epoch in the history of
Great Britain, and has done much to
raise woman's strength and influence.
But danger Turks in the path OF
every advance. The rebound of the
ball that strikes another carries it fur
ther than was desired.
A gentleman graduate makes his
certificate or degree to be tributary To
his practical success in life; lady
graduate who intends to be a teacher
is equally helped forward in the very
noblest OF vacations by her literary
honors; but what if her mission in life
is not that of a teacher, but of daugh
ter or wife?
A degree may give her weight, and
the intellectual culture whereby it was
reached may have strengthened and
enriched her mentally, but it has not
the same mark Of utility as in the
other case.
Here, then, will be temptation.
II a young girl in starting life strikes
the keynote, not OF utility, but of self
emlnence, the note will dominate all
her subsequent manifestations, will
engender selfseeking, and may be
followed by very serious deterioration
OF moral influence.

THE QUESTION OF women in politics
is moving steadily for yard. Only the
other day the Governor Of New York
appointed two women Electoral Com
missioners OF New York, and Mayor
Grace Of New York City appointed two
women School Directors OF that city.
Then there Is Wisconsin, where the
voters agreed by majority Of %, 941 at
the recent election to amend the State
Constitution SO that women may have
the right to vote on school matters.
By the way, our own Legislature will
be very apt to do something worse this
coming session than to make women
eligible for election to the Board OF

This is not an Essay. Just
a premise and conclusion.

Thoughtful man in a
brown study--of worms.
Scratches his pate. Is there
wisdom in cuticle? Soliloquy.
"Those Italian bankers that
pooled a hundred million
francs last year TO control
raw silk-what are they at
now! What do the women
lof the world think about
the future of dress silks?
Wool versus silk, which will
win? August last year silk
lower than for forty five
years, jumped 50 per cent.
fell off 20, up again IS;
where will it settle? To
Europe or not9 Invest or
waltz"
"a cablegram says no FL.
ture orders at presen: prices.
A satin maker advances Is
per cent. London adver-
tisements say silks going up.
European news points same
way"
And thus the silk man is
in a brown study. Perplexed,
quite naturally.
Unless all signs iail silks
will rise soon, and our opin-
ion is that you can make a
handsome gain in buying
now for next year.
This is especially true Of
blacks and plain colors in
Rhadames, Fable Francaise,
gros-grain and fancy weaves.
The special black silk bar
gain of the day is the Bellou
Cachmire at 81, $I.25 and
$l.5O.
Our exhibit Of plush and
velvet novelties for garni-
lures is a pride to us. The
prices are made ON the re-
cent low rates in Lyons.

provided only that you don't
allow them to let down your
ideas Of the goods.

niture, dress, and fancy
