that there are more soldiers employed

pa,tments Of hegovernment through.

lost his life on the battlefield. Put

AS the agents themselves are SOL
diers they give a natural preference
to soldiers us employees; and asa
matter of undisputed record the
majority of the employees of the pen
sion agencies are either sol Tiers
themselves or members Of soldiers
families. Widows and daughters,
The most helpless of the family. are
used in clerkships and for writing
purposes. Put heavy tack in there.
Another item CT interest IN this
connection may he mentioned. 1t is
also true that many of the positions
are filled hy soldiers who never held
p ,sitions until within the past three
years and half. And we are Ger
tainly glad that it is SO for thos"
whose places the new appointees now
filf we're held by politicians, men who
never fred musket or drew sabre,
but were paid for political services
by Occupying these honorable places
OF trust for over twenty years, and
they were class or men who always
believed and thought that their
fellow comrades in arms, of different
political faith, were not entitled to
any consideration whatever.
When the great cry for men to
enlist went mp in the Northern States
no question of panty utilization was
asked. Democrats and Republicans
fought in the same ranks. sacrificed
their lives, were wounded, endure
all the vicissitudes Of the great cam
paign; they were just as loyal, as
brave, and were entitled to proper

MERRIAM AS AN ORATOR,

1t is noticeable that none of repub-
lican candidates are making speeches.
unless Mr.. Merriam s efforts ias noted
below may he called speeches. A
Third district voter. listening to the
Hon. William speak, thus reproduces
his effort:
Fellow citizens-er--and--e
1 not-er-call you-er-friends. L
am young man. I-er-am proud
to say that am young man. We
are all young men. That is, all Of US
who are not old men. Of course, the
old men could not he young men, and
versa vice. I am a republican.
[Uheers. Everybody is a republican
who is not democrat. The republi
can party is a republican. SHE is
good; SHE saved you and l during the
Civil war; SHE believes in the tariff,
and SIZE is for your interests. If you
want to be considered as a laboring
man. vote the democratic ticket; but
if you would lie with the party of
freedom and young men like myself,
vote for the republican ticket
That is about the way Mr.. Merriam
strikes the people with his speech.
To interpret properly Mr.. Merriam s
speeches. which were about as above,
it is only necessary to notice between
the lines these assertions:
81 believe in an aristocracy of the
few and not a democracy of the many.
l have lived a life Of ease, free from
care and want. l haveano knowledge
of the wants Of the people, nor any
particular interest in them. My can
didacy for governor is to crafty social
ambition, and place in Office few

desire your votes and if you twill name
your figure / will be glad to receive
them. If you elect me governor

AS to tariff. all l know is that my
diamonds and wines are taxed less
than your food and clothing. That
suits me and if it does not please you
it is not my fault. st. Paul Globe.

Why Should Not Women BE Given
the Ballot

You intrust your dearest interests to
woman. You confide to her keeping
your honor, your children. the sacred
interests of your home. Why fear to
trust her with the ballot by which she
can serve and defend all these inter-
tercsts? You call her the queen of
home, and so she is; but without the
ballot she is an uncrowned queen, aud
her sceptre but q broken reed. Call
this the home Of the free! So long as
its women are classed with criminals.
idiots and paupers, it never can be
free. Oh, my brothers, do not your
cheeks burn with shame at the spec
tacle of what you have reduced your
mothers. wives aud sisters to? See
them coming like suppliants to the
polls where questions most vital to the
interests of home are being decided by
the votes of Tom. Dick, Harry and
Sambo, to whom they offer coffee and
cakes--it is all they can do-begging
them to vote for the protection Of your
homes! Would not the ballot be as
safe in their hands as in those of Tom,
Dick and Harry, and could you not
count ON il as the bulwark of homer
! tell you the time is coming when
home. that little stone which political
builders have SO long rejected, shall
become the head of the corner. Christ
is the only true Republican, the only
true Democrat In His government
there is no distinction of sex-neitheE

nor female, but all one in Christ Jesus,

But the trustees think that conserva-

perhaps, when the young women sur

is co-educational, and 90 to Eastern
colleges instead. To entice in these
conservative young men. they propose
to exclude the girls. We can see only
one advantage in the proposed arrange

with too many such students of their
own. Young men Of that stripe are
a mediocre ornament to any college -

POLITICS NOT DEGRADING.

An Able speech In Defense OF Women
Exercising the Election Franchise.
The persons who take the field
against woman suffrage. says Hon.
George 7. Hoar, are chiefly persons
who have very little respect for man
hood suffrage. But we can not spend
our days debating with them what our
grandfathers settled. We must con-
slider that matter decided. We can
not pull down our house 10 see whether
the foundation is safe. The really
formidable difficulty is the fear that
the ballot will in some way change for
the worse the character aud the en-
ployment Of woman. They say that
her life is demanded for the duties of
maternity and Of the household, and
that her strength and nerves could not
bear the imposition Of this new burden
OF responsibility. They say the func-
tions Of active citizenship will defile
and degrade the delicacy of her nature.
They say there are many questions of
State which she is not mentally fitted
to decide. and many Offices which she
is not physically qualified to discharge.
They say that the processes of our
elections are unfit for her.
think our friends do not consider
to how little that is really involved in
government these objects apply. They
apply hardly at all to what ought to
be involved in what we call politics.
Politics considered as a mere scuffle
for power. concede, would be degrad-
ing to women. 1t is equally degrading
to men. But politics considered as a
means of accomplishing public re-
suits for which the forces Of govern
ment are needed, have nothing de-
grading to either We would not buy
the success of our cause by furnishing,
by the slightest shade. the unsullied
delicacy and purity Of womanhood.
But what is government? What is
politics? More than nine-tenths In
Importance and responsibility. is the
care Of the schools. of the almshouses
and asylums, Of the roads and bridges
and railroads, the legislation against
intemperance and immortality. and the
appointment of judges and the admin
istration Of justice. Which Of these
things tend to degrade women? In
which of them is she uni to have .
share?
