There is queer thing about civil
service examination. The Virginia
women average about IS per cent
higher than the women of any
State in the Union. They are far in
advance of the Massachusetts, women.
Commissioner Layman says he can
partly account for it by the fact that
the Virginia women who apply for
government places belong to classes
that in other states are sufficiently
prosperous not to seek such employ.

as three.fourths of the women in the

standing. Many of them are widows
and daughters of officers.

Wool In Politics.

Speech by Mr.. Theodore Justice,
Protection is the very Keystone of the
arch OF the wool business, both in wool
growing and wooden manufacturing. The
question of protection Is bound up with
the very life Of the business. Wool grow
ing in many sections OF the United States
has been fostered by and grown up under
protection. give brief comparison OF
the cost of growing foreign and American
wool:
The main cost of raising wool in foreign
countries, where the sheep Craze over the
public domain, is the wages Of the herder.
In the Argentine Republic this quality of
labor receives three Spanish dollars per
month. In Montana, where the sheep also
Craze on the public domain, the wages of
main cost Of growing there, is $40
per month, as against s. In South
America. This is an increase In the cost
of growing American wool, otherwise
under similar conditions, Of 100 per cent.
The freight on wool from Buenos Ayres
to New York by sailing vessel is only
Il cent per pound, while the cheapest
freight from Montana Is Q cents
per pound to the same market. Here
Is an increase TO the Montana grow
er In the cost Of transportation Of 700 per
cent over the cost Of the South American
grower. With this difference against the
American grower on the free range, how
much more must be the cost of raising
wool on farms worth fifty to seventy-five
dollars an acrei

Not Panic Stricken.

From Blaine's Chicago speech, Oct. 20:
In my judgment the people Of the United
States are not TO be hurried into free
trade by panicky cry from President or
secretary. Too many great interests are
dependent upon IL, interests of capital
and labor; interests in the East, in the
West, In the North and I'm the South
great interests common to the whole
Union. / shall not tonight argue the
question further than to arraign the Presi-
dent for procipitsting it in An unprece-
dcnted manner, and for having used ex-
traordinary means to create prejudice
against the protective system, and with
delusive arguments TO commend the de-
structive theories OF free trade to the peo-
pie. When understood by the people the
Presidents method OF approaching the
question will strengthen the cause OF pro-
lection, and not weaken 1t, and will, In my
judgment, In the end prove one OF the
potent causes OF his defeat at the ap-
preaching election.

The vetoes Fit the Man.

II is not surprising that gallant sol
dier like Senator Hawley should wax
warm when speaking of Cleveland's pen
sion vetoes. 81 wish TO God that every
voter In the land could have a copy Of
these veto messages" said the Connecti-
cut senator. "They certainly bespeak the
character Of the man In the White House.
These veto messages are insulting and dis
graceful In tone, insulting to congress and
q disgrace to the high Office Of Chief Mag
istrate. In many cases they contain SEN
tences which reflect seriously upon both
houses of Congress, recklessly accusing
the committees OF carelessness and favorit-
ism. In other cases the statements made
by the President are absolutely untrue. 1t
is untrue, for instance, that the theory has
been adopted that, any cause from which a
man died was traceable to service In the
army These and similar insinuations are
simply false. The language of former
Presidents has been dignified and
courteous In these messages. Cleveland,
on the contrary, is coarse, vulgar, and in
some cases brutal. He sets himself up as
q Judge Of petty facts Of which he has no
special knowledge, and acts on the as
sumption that there is no moral integrity
left In congress"

Third Party Hopes.

Albion w. Tourgee, In the Chicago
Inter-Ocean: No one has yet been able to
assert even the shadow Of an expectation
that the Prohibitionists will succeed In
electing the candidates they have named.
There is not probably In the
whole party one single person
who is sanguine enough to cherish a
hope that such may by any possibility be
the result. Its candidates were not nom
mated with an such expectation. Neither
were they nominated with any hope or
expectation of defeating the Democratic
party and its nominee. In the whole
''solid South" which gives its 15S cleo
toral votes to the Democratic party, con-
stituting 75 per cent of it's strength,
the Prohibitionists received in 1884
less than 1900 votes. OF its entire
vote of 152, 900 more than two-thirds was
obtained In states giving Republican ma
jorities. More than three-ffths of the re-
mainder, 34,161, were polled in states
where the Democrats won by . plurality
only. In those states, New York. New
Jersey and Indiana, It is q well known
fact that the hope of the Prohibitionists
is not to reduce to any appreciable
extent the Democratic vote, but rather
to lessen the Republican vote SO as to as
sure the defeat Of that party.

About State Taxes.

The Country More Important Than the
Presidency.

Albion w. Tourgee in the Chicago
Inter Ocean: General Harrison has made
himself a familiar presence in the intelli-
gent American home, with a facility
rarely equaled and never excelled. He
has not come with pompous, dictatoriaf
arrogance, assuming to be himself every
thing and rating Others but as dust be-
meath his feet; but as modest, self
respecting American gentleman-the
genuine product Of our average American
life. Because of this he has come to be
regarded by those whom he has thus ad-
dressed as familiar friend. He is recog-
nized as one having common interests
with his fellow citizens who considers
public questions from the level of com
mon life. No one doubts his sincerity or
questions his candor. Without single
word OF protestation he has convinced the
American people that the welfare of the
country is a far more important thing to
him than the Presidency.

that upon q subject which agitates all

considers ten minute discussion suffi-

A SORE place with Hawaiians who live
in the country, is the present status OF
the laws regarding konohiki rights.
There are two branches TO this matter,
rights in the sea and rights on land. The
laws regarding the sea ought to be so
amended as to make everything below
low water mark free, excepting possibly
all fats between the outlying reefs and
the shore, surely everything in deep
water. 1t is a hardship that the broad
deep ocean in any part should be pro-
hibited by some indefnable and imag-
mary line. There is absolutely nothing
in its favor except somewhat uncertain
ancient custom. 1t would be public
blessing could the prohibition as to the
open ocean be repealed.
AS to the land rights, the question is
somewhat different Here ancient GUS
tom gave to the permanent occupants OF
the great lands, the ''hoaainas," a few
we'll defined rights, to take water, use
roads, cut and take frewood, wood and
coral for house building and few others,
and there is constant friction between
some Of the great land holders and the
tenant occupants, "hoaainas,'. under
them. The land owner attempts to cnr-
tail, the occupant to extend these rights,
with naturally resulting friction This
friction causes the subject to come up at
every session of the Legislature, and
generally provokes q long and warm dis
cussion. The apprehension on the part
Of the Legislature that it may infringe
on private rights generally results in
killing whatever measures are proposed
The bills introduced this session have
both been killed, and the matter is at
rest or rather unrest again for two years.

recommendation was not adopted. Per
