SMUGGLING FROM MEXICO.
Ell Paso's Mercantile Exchange Wants
1t Stopped.

1t Stopped.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lin the Senate to-
day Mr. Coke presented a memorial signed
by the Mercantile Exchange of FL Paso,
Tex, representing that an extensive amount
of smuggling is done between the border
towns of Mexico and Those of the United
States under the Mexican free zone law,
and asking that a reciprocity treaty be en-
tered into with Mexico in order to prevent
such smuggling.
MIR. Morgan remarked that if Congress
would pass law to carry into effect the
provisions of the treaty with Mexico, which
was ratified two or three years ago, the pur-
pose of the memorial would be substantially
accomplished.
Mr.. Coke concurred in this opinion and
added that nothing could help the commerce
of this country with Mexico more than exc
cutting and enforcing that treaty.
The memsrial was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

CREDITORS OF RAILROADS.
Mr.. Call Addresses the Senate on His
Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Senate to-
day took up the resolution offered yester-
day by Mr.. Call instructing the Judiciary
Committee to report legislation necessary
to prevent United States Courts in man
aging railroads through receivers from de-
priving creditors of their liens through re-
ceiverS' certificates, and was addressed by
Mr.. Call He desired, he said that beyond
the walls of the Senate chamber sound
public opinion might be turned toward the
great public evil against which his resolu-
ton was directed.
AS ILLUSTRATED IN FLORIDA.
He illustrated his argument by reference
to the case Of the Florida Railway and Navi-
cation Company, for which, by collusive
means, a receiver was appointed and The
property was now about to be sold. He
submitted the record in the case of William
b. Cutting against that company and in
vited attention to this record so that such
restrictions might be imposed on Judges as
the interests of the people, common sense
and justice required. AT 2 O'Clock, while
Mr.. Call was stll speaking, the Blair educa-
tional bill came up as the unfinished busl-
ness, but M Blair waived bis right so as to
let NJ. Call conclude his remarks, viii n
drew from Mr.. Riddleberger the sarcastic
observation that if the Senator from New
Hampshire would let his bill pass it would
pass.
DECLARED DIsGRAcEFUL.
In conclusion Mr.. Call declared it to be a
disgraceful state of law and n disgraceful
execution of it by the Interior Department,
which permitted citizens of the United
States to he deprived Of their homes on pub

the Judiciary Committee to bestir itself SO

Progress Abroad.

The German Emperor has given his
consent that the bust OF lady should
have place among the memorial stat
ues at the Berlin University. The lady
thus distinguished is the Countess
Louise Bose, who at her death few
years ago left nearly the whole of her
considerable fortune to the Berlin Uni
versity to enable poor medical students
TO pursue their studies, and to help
medical men TO enlarge their knowl-
edge by making scientific journeys of
discovery. This is beginning to tho
opening of German universities TO wo-
men, and we hope it will cheer on their
way the brave ladies who have lately
formed a society at Weimar, which un-
der the name of "Frauenverein Re-
form" has for its aim the opening to
girls and women of all the professions
at present monopolized by men. How
great and difficult is their task, any
body acquainted with the "woman
question" in Germany will understand.

sicians are now graduated, and their
services are I'm demand. DR.. Mary
Jacobi who is one of the best physi-
clans in New York, and whose income
Is put as high as $4,000 yearly, says
that women physicians are making
rapid strides forward. A great many
women are to-day serving in the ca
pscity of nurses who ought to be maxi
ing money and fame and, best of all,
alleviating distress us physicians. They
lack only the necessary collegiate train
ing and hospital experience, and it Is
well worth while to put themselves TO
some trouble to acquire these. A wo-
man in taking hold of the practice Of
medicine, or rather her preliminary
education, should study her ground
carefully. She can in short time
make blunders which years will not
undo, She ought to decide what par
ticular branch OF practice is best suited
to her tastes and to the locality
which she proposes to select for her
home
IL is useless for a woman TO attempt a
general practice, such as we SEQ most
men physicians engaged in. They are
not physically able to endure it, neither
is II prudent for them TO he abroad at
night even with an attendant. OF
course, exceptional cases will arise
where her services will be needed at
night, but in nearly every instance she
can be prepared for 1t, and use her own
good judgment in planning for her ar
rangcments. A man physician is not
expected to consult his own pleasure as
10 the class Of people he is called to at
tend, the character OF disease, or any
thing of that kind; but with woman
II is different. She can not tear away
from the custom OF her sex and still
command respect Therefore, il is best
for her to select specially. and con-
duct as far as possible an Office practice.
The diseases OF women are specially
TO be recommended. In this direction
lie the greatest possibilities, and if
women physicians were to study this
branch Of practice devotedly and con-
scientiously, and crown their work with
success, the day is not far distant when
the man physician would be the second
choice of suffering woman-kind. This
is but natural. The diseases Of the eye,
ear and throat offer the most fattering
pecuniary advantages and freedom from
exposure For the woman who has
sufficient bravery and energy, who will
study with her whole heart and win
diploma meritoriously, there seems to
be bright future just discernable in
the distance all rosy with the prospects

THERE is no manner of doubt that the

The RULING POWER.
Powerful Agency for the Elevation of
Womanklndi

| womankindi
The minister who married n WELL
bred woman and allowed her to black
MS boots, 'iusi to show her willing
ness, was certainly not well-hred
man, even though he was minister.
What a pity he had not been born in
Central Africa. In the savage state
brute force is the only power known.
The one who by sheer physical power
overcomes his fellows is chief. In this
condition the position OF woman is the
lowest known. The Greeks were in
ancient times the most intellectual peo-
pie OF whom we have any history and
they furnish good example OF intellect
ruling supreme, uninhuenced by any
high religious considerations. Under
such conditions woman occupied much
higher position than in savage lands
Yet che was not rated as mans equal.
For II woman was mans equal intel
lectually, why have we not scrap of
literary work by woman, from this
pre-eminently literary peoplep No
power is subject TO an equal or infe-
rior one. 1t does not seem there
was any claim, or any evidence OF
equality between the sexes in ancient
Greece. But with Christianity comes
a power that is far above intellect and
controls TO n greater extent, even
now, than a great many intellectu-
ally wise people seem to be aware OF.
This is the power Of love, of goodness,
God is love-" the highest power that
exists, the power that rules over all. 1t
is a power that rules by winning, that
rules with tho glad consent OF the ruled
instead OF against their consent. just
In proportion as this power controls,
woman's position advances. Jesus will
conquer the world by love. Tho most
prominent trait of His life on earth was
His utter unsellishness, His sacrifice of
Himself for those He loved. And this
is exactly whore women have won their
laurels. In our day women have entered
into almost every line of work where
men are engaged. In literary work it
will not be disputed that their greatest
have been through the
power of love, in leading, attracting.
not in driving, The power OF love will
eventually reign supreme on this sinful
earth. All other powers will come un-
der its control. Then women will be
in the front. They will not need mas
ters, and there will not be any able to
master them. That women are moro
subject to the power of Gods love than
men, the greater number in nearly all
Christian churches is sufficient evil
dence. That women exert the power Of
love in a greater degree than men, Is
evidenced by their greater success in
Christian work wherever they under-
take it.-interior.

WOMAN'S OPINION.
One Great Benefit to he Derived From wo-
man Suffrage.

man Suffrage.
The main argument for woman suf-
frage is not that IL will enable women
10 vote. but that it will lead women to
think. In all questions of politics
that is TO say, in all questions of law
and government-wom have ms direct
and vital interest as men. II times are
hard and wages low, must not women
stint and strain and slaveP II people
are crowded into narrow tenement
rooms, and children die by thousands
before there time, upon which sex does
the discomfort and pain most bitterly
fallp 1t is true that women can not
night, or, rather, that it is not the
custom of civilized nations 10 drag or
brlbe them into armies or navies for the
purpose OF standing ready to wound or
XIII each other. But for every man
who wears uniform Is there not some
woman. his natural complement, left at
nome TO get along ms best she canP
And do the losses, the wastes, the agon-
les OF war, fall more lightly on women
than on menP II one sex must shed
blood, are not the tears of the other
olien bitterer than bloodp
But with this direct and vital interest
IN public questions. women, not being
called upon to pass upon such questions,
are accustomed to regard them as be-
yond their sphere, and II they think Of
them at all to think Of them flippantly.
And this disposition of one-half of our
people must exert a powerful influence
upon the other half.
