upon investigation discovered that with.

the case and the girl was fined $40. The

Federal officials in dealing with the
Governor of West Virginia to recog-
nize no one but the honestly-elected
Governor, General Golf. 1t says that

and that no man has q right to stand

LEGAL RIGHTS.
The Limited Authority of Women Com
pared With Their Responsibility In the
Business of the Home.

| The Limited Authority OF Women Com
pared With Their Responsibility In the
Business of the Home.
One only needs. says Lucy Stone, in
Boston Globe, to look at the laws that
have been made for women to see that
men can not do well about the home
business. Under the old law, when at
the marriage ceremony the bridegroom
had said to the bride, with all my
worldly goods l thee endow," the law
at once declared that ali the personal
property the newly-made wife had
should be the husbands property; that
he and not she should have the SOUS
tody' of her person; that he might give
her moderate correction" if the stick
with which he whipped her were no
larger than his thumb When her child
was born, the law, asking no questions
of her. said: This child belongs to its
father. The sole legal right to it was
in him. and there it remains to this
day. The law gave the use OF all her
real estate to the husband as long as he
should live, because he had to support
her and her child. Wives reared the
children, spun and wove, washed and
irOned and cooked, while the husband
supported" them. The wife who
earned a dollar at scrubbing somebody
else's house (she had nothing for scrub
bling her husbands house,, brought
home her dollar, but it was by law her
husbands dollar, and he had it If the
husband died. the law left his widow
only forty days to stay in the house
without paying rent, and that is all the
right she has to stay in the house to-
day. 1t is true that by much petition
ing some of these odious laws have been
done away with, but they furnish clear
proof that women must look after their
own business interests. In the 800 and
more towns in Massachusetts. where
everybody knows everybody, women
are surely as competent as men are to
Judge of candidates of town offices who
will look after the material and moral
interests of the town. Women always
care for their children. They would
be sure. the majority of them. to unite
with that party OF men who would be
true to home interests. Thus the
public and private good would be bet
ter cared for by the help of the munich
pal suffrage of women in tho towns
In the cities, where everybody does
not know everybody. women read the
newspapers, and have rs fair a chance
as men to ascertain the character of
candidates. City mothers care for the
good of their children and the welfare
of their families not less than the
mothers in the towns. The home busi-
ness is their business, and in order that
it may be thoroughly cared for, women
should have the municipal vote.
Towns and cities are corporate bodies,
of which women as well as men are
members. The very fact that they are
members Of the city or town corpora
ton should, in all fairness, entitle them
to a vote in it, as it entities them
to one in every other corporation of
which they are members. The exist
ing laws which concern women are
proof that they need hand in their
own affairs.

AN EXCELLENT MAN.

Mr.. Clarkson's appointment One OF the
Happiess Made by the President.
We congratulate President Harrison
on the fact that Mr.. John S. Clarkson,
who was entitled to a Cabinet position.
has been induced to accept one of less
rank. but requiring rarer combina-
ton of executive qualities. tact, judg-
ment and energy than are essential to
success in some, at least, of the Cab
met places. The position of First As
sistant Postmaster-General was not
only not sought by Mr.. Clarkson. but
he was very reluctant about taking it
He knew what the conscientious and
courageous performance of the duties
of that Office involved. But he has I'm
dertaken to serve where he seems most
needed, and the President and Post
master-General, especially. will feel
greatly relieved by his decision.
MIR. Clarkson is known as one of the
ablest and most respected editors 10
the Northwest, where his newspaper,
the Iowa State Register, has been a
great power for Republicanism of the
most stalwart and highest sort His
services to the party as vice-cnairman
of the Republican National Committee
during the last campaign We're of the
most important character. and no
member of that committee secured
more of the admiration and high re-
gard Of the Republican leaders who
had relations with the committee.
As on old and experienced news
paper man he is peculiarly qualified
to direct an administration of the
postal service that will be up to the
requirements of the times; progressive,
yet careful and judicious, and re-
sponsive to the growing needs of the
country. His large knowledge of the
Republican leaders, whose advice and
demands as to appointments will have
to be considered, will enable him to
act with an enlightened judgment
In the prime of manhood, with a
noble record behind him and with
high purposes and ambitions to in
spire him, we believe that he will
make as efficient, successful, popular
and useful a First Assistant Post
master-General as ever served the
public. The virulent and baseless
attacks made on him will not harm
him. They are the revised calumnies
of scandalously abusive and reckless
sheets. and the Times can net put new
life intosthem by its Endorsement CT
lies and malignant abuse.--N. Y. Mail
