the attention of the producers and
buyers of cotton, the superior faclh-
ties offered by this company for the
storage and handling of cotton, which |
are as follows:
Alage, ccmmodious aad finely con-
structed compress building, connected
with covered yards, all constructed and
arranged in such a manner as to secure
the greatest degree Of safety possible,
thereby enabling the company to obtain
the lowest rates Of insurance.
Large cisterns, and an elevated tank
constantly kept full of water, supplied
from a we'll by means of steam pumps,
and fully supply of hose enabling
them to reach every part of their prop
erty in case of fire.
! Competent and reliable watchmen
are in charge at all hours of Doth day
and night.
| The advantages of transportation to
and from the compress and warehouse
will be readily appreciated when the
fact is known that the tracks of both
the Texas and Pacific and the South
ern Pacific pass in close proximity to
their platforms, and that the Red River

Now that the smoke ol tue ioso
political affray has cleared away, I
and the result is known to all, ev-
cry newspaper in the land has had
something to say about the Dem
ocratic Waterloo" and the causes
that led to the defeat of our great
party. We propose to give our
readers a summary of the result,
and, not to be out of the fashion,
will also state our views OF the
matter in cursory style. In the
first place, we do not believe that
ssthe tariff issue was the Republican
Blucher." On the contrary, we be-
lieve the party was strengthened
by the issue being made, and our
only regret is that it was not made
four years ago. History teaches
us that it takes time to educate
nation up to any given line OF poll
CIV, and we believe the American peo-
pie are too intelligent not to know
their own interests as between re-
vised tariff and high protection-so
called. In another four years we
firmly believe the Democratic par
lty will march into power with hy-
ing banners inscribed with the
same device that some now claim
to have wrought its defeat.
The result of the fight is interest.

Results of Agitation.

The advance of women in respect to
higher education, their entrance into
the professions, their larger place in
literature, their occupation here and
there of public positions, such as jose
phine Shaw Lowell holds on the New
York State Board of Charities, are, to
some extent, results of the agitation in
favor of equal political rights, and GER
tainly tend to quietly promote it. So
with the increasing employment
of women in factories, stores,
offices, etc. This is in itself an evil
the result of the growth of unnatural
conditions and increasing social pres
sure. But it furnishes an obvious and
strong argument for the extension of
the suffrage. When women must work
like men, it is clear that they ought to
vote like MENU Y. Standard.

A Woman Engineer.

To show that women are quite capable
of doing what is generally considered
strictly mems work, the Manufacturers
Gazette cites the case of feminine loco
motive engineer. Her husband was an
engineer in England, and she used often
to accompany him on his trips. When
by an accident he was killed, she put on
his clothes and took his place, which
she filled acceptably until her sex was
discovered by the management. Then,
through fear of scandal, she came to
this country, and, still clad in the same
garb, secured a position as engineer on
u fast mail train. In several instances
accidents were averted and feats per-
formed by her with GOODNESS and char
acter that is seldom equalled. She was
lone of the best men on the road" able
TO do repairs and look after the machine
IN u manner that dispelled any suspi-
cion as to her sex, and was looked upon
as most faithful and efficient engineer
BY an accident she was at last discov-
cred, and though every effort was made
to have her remain, she gave up her
position and retired - WonlanS Journal.

the basest think themselves capable OF

the basest think themselves capable Of
love.
Companionship is, above all, volun-
tary, unrestrained, obeying the law OF
temperament and the fervor of individu-
ality.
Men, in their relations to women, are
conventional, artful, anxious to create
an impression; women, in de;fing with
men, sacrifice every thing in their ef-
fort to be agreeable, hide nature and
pervert truth with this intent. There
is no chance of companionship between
them; it can not breathe in so artificial
an atmosphere.
Men alter their language to suit wo-
men. You get no more idea of their SEN
timents or actions from what they say
to women than you do of the real wo-
man from what she says to men. When
woman suddenly appears in a COM
pany of men they change their speech
completely, and conceal their nature in
prescribed forms and hollow observ-
ances. If the foundation of companion
ship could be laid in such society the SUI
perstructure could not be reared; the
opportunity would be lacking and the
commencement would remain as sign
of failure-as a warning to proceed no
further.
As has been said, men and women
have been and are companions; but they
are of the elect. Still, they offer ex-
amples, and disclose what may be done. In
our own country women are freer, more
respected, more honored, more nearly
mems partners, than in any other. This
is the surest evidence of our high civil
ization. Companionship will increase
here as the sexes advance, and, in the
great plan of development, grow andro-
gynOus.
Neither knows what is missedrby
want of companionship one with the
other. The true woman has learned its
preciousness from the true man; and
when she says, 81 love and am loved, !"
she feels the sense of companionship
forever.-J. II. BroUne, IN CoSmopoli-
