LEDIOR IN CLU BS.

If proof were needed anew that the present Connecticut legislature is a fan tastic. peculiar and extraordinary body, it was furnished yesterday by the house when it voted to discriminate against the ordinary liquor dealer in favor of the nabobs, dudes and codfsh aristocracy that compose our private clubs. It was a strange proceeding for deliberative body, giving force to the assertion of Representative Wolfe that ''the present house had proved that it was whimsical" " If Mir Wolfe had use a harsher term he would not have shot far wide of the truth. The present house has, on more than one occasion, proved itself utterly asinine.
 There is nothing of evil associations or evil tendencies connected with the common saloon that is not found in the club where liquor is sold. If there be any difference it is one only of degree. There is many wife, many family and some of them among the hlue blood that brides itself on its ancestry-that has reason to regret, bitter cause tC grieve that there are private clubs Tn which husband, father or son can gorge himself to his hearts content with liquor can perfect himself in the vice of gamb' ling, can attune his nature to all the base practices that grace the most accomplished roue. The fact that he drinks his liquor with "gentlemen, that he gambles with gentlemen, thai he does nt frequent that sink Of lnlqulty known as the saloon may give him a ssgentleman's" standing in the eyes of a Connecticut legislator, but to the com, mon mind it looks very much like case to

President Harrison's 314 nominations in one month against I'll made by Pres ident Cleveland in the same length of time four years ago ought to be an elo- quent commentary on republican, deVo- tion to civil service reform. If Harrison keeps on at the rate he has been going, with the able assistance of Blaine and Wanamaker, Clarkson and Tanner, we think that the retrospect will be a more pleasant basis of comparison than prom. ises'' to the republicans who are laugh ing in their sleeves at the simplicity of Grover Cleveland ill believing that civi service reform was anything more than the froth blown off by sOft-headed mug wumps. There seems to be a campaign of education with regard to the civil ser vice as well as the tariff.

WAS Harrison catering to England when he sent Patrick Egan out of the country: Salisbury's government will be very glad to see this able and patriotic Irishman banished from a land where he was able to do so much to promote the cause of home rule for his native land. Harrison seems to have hankering for playing into English hands.

h is related of Representative Hall of the Pennsylvania legislature that he rep resented the homeopaths last week in the fight over the medical examiners bill at Harrisburg. He waNed eloquent over their virtues, their progressiveness and the injustice done them by "the old school" He carried the house with him by vote of 129 to 39. On Wednes- day evening certain friends went to see him to talk over the matter and found him i'll in bed. Two allopathic physi- cians were attending him. From which it would seem that the homoaopaths must hava had the longest purse and the shortest strings at Harrisburg.

A RAY OF HOPE.
favorable Report made TO the Senate on
Woman Suffrage,

WASHINGTON, February 7th.-The joint reso-
luton proposing an amendment. TO the Consti-
tuition declaring that the right TO vote shall not
be abridged by the United States or any State,
on account of sex, was fsyoTably reported to-day
by Senator Blair, from the select Committee on
Woman Suffrage. The report recommending
the adoption of the resolution, after reviewing
the history of the woman suffrage movement
and making some comments upon the denial of
the right OF suifIage to women as an injustice
equal 70 that of negro slavery, concludes as fol-
lows:
Unless this Government shall be made and
preserved truly republican in form by the en-
franchisement of woman, the great reforms
which her ballot would accomplish may never
be accomplished. The decentralization and dis
integration now proceeding in the body polite
are not likely soon to be arrested. The cor
ruption of male suffrage is already well nigh
fatal disease. A republican form OF govern
ment cannot survive with one-half slaves and
the other half free. The ballot is with
held from women because the men are
not willing TO part with one-half their
sovereign power. There is no other cause for
the continued preparation of this unnatural
tyranny. Enfranchise woman or this Republic
will steadily advance to the same destruction
the same ignoble aud tragic catastrophe which
has engulfed all the male republics OF history
Let us establish a republic i'll which men and
women shall be free indeed, and then shall the
republic be perpetual

the resolution viii hereafter be print d.

Yo EM1.E INVESTIGATION.
Another Night Spent Without Eliciting
Anything New.


The Assembly Committee ON Yosemite Valley
and Mariposa Big Trees held another meeting
last night to hear testimony in regard to the
charges made by c. d. Robinson against the
management of the valley by the Yosemite
CoInnll ssioners. There were preseut Charm an
Rundeh and Assemblymen Crawford, Tulloch
and GaIdEer.
ChaTl.s Atkinson, who testified before the
Senate Committee, was sworn, and testified SUBJ
stantially the same as he did be ore thst COM
mittee. He had been working in the valley for
the past ten yealS, some of the time as foreman
and was perfectly familiar with every.h hing that
had been going on there. Although called as a
witness by Mr.. Robinsan in support of the
charges, his testimony was strongly on the side
OF the Commissioners. In fact the investiga-
tion, so far as last nights proceedings are con-
cerned. was perfect farce. The witness was
asked all sorts of irrelevant questions by Mr..
Tulloch, at the suggestion OF Robinson, and
were answered with volubility. Finally he
said: =" Now, Mr.. Tulloch. if you won't be quite
SO technicsl, probably / can answer more in
teiligently."
On cross-examination by Mr.. Goucher, one of
the Commissioners, witness said that after he
had been discharged from the State service Mr..
Robinson told him thai if he ever expected to
get anything more TO do in the valley he had
better write 10 the Examiner, and that he would

iner but he talked with Robinson and after

The witness was kept on the stand until
nearly eleven o'clock, without eliciting Il single
fact of importance.
