In the FREEMAN's report of the
donations for the third party cam
paign recently made at the late
Convention. Mrs. Johnson is cred
tied with 500 from the W. CT. U.
This will no doubt give rise to de-
rogatory remarks and perhaps I'M
founded suspicious. Mrs. job nson,
the President of the West Virginia
W. G. I. U. is too conscientious and
too much of business woman to
appropriate any sum from the treas
ury of the Union without proper
authority. She has no doubt re-,
ceived donations in behalf of the
W. c. I. U. especially designed for
the purpose named, in which case
she could not consistently do other
wise than apply them to partisan
uses. If she considers it of sufici-
ent Importance, she will doubtless
make a satisfactory explanation, If
anyone should insinuate anything
unfair in the matter, but we do not
believe that she owes an apology to
any one.-Mrs. Ellen G. THOMPSON

Woman at Work.

We clip the following from "The
american" and present it to our
readers to show them how delicate
and frail is woman'-sometimes;
"Three million women in the
United States work for money. OF
these 10000 are agricultural labor
ers, mainly in the Gotten fields of
the South; $4,000 are employed
in manufactures, while $4,000 in
the laundries OF the country insist
that the Chinese must CO." $780,
900 are milliners, and 100000 find
employment as dressmakers; 10000
earn their bread in the tailor shops
and 100000 are saleswomen, teach
ers, telegraph operators, e-writ-
ers, book-keepers, type-setters, and
nurses. There are $500 female
physicians"
Add to these three million money
earners the women who work from
morn to eve in the homes of this
country and we have great army of
burden bearers upon whose should
ers rest the comfort and we'll being
of the nation.
She certainly can't be such an
Insignificant factor of our popula-
