No MORE SUNDAY PARADEs.-The President
has issued an order to the army which abolshes
Sunday duty, with the exception of inspection
parade without firearms. The barracks inspec-
tion, which usually takes place Oh Sunday, will
hereafter take place on Saturday. In his order
the President recalls the facts that Washinptoi,
and Lincoln in times Of war omitted the week
day ceremonies and duties OH Sunday and he
thinks that if this plan was carried out sue
cessfully during such times it can very well be-
come practice i'll times of peace. He states
further that be wants the soldiers to have Sun
day as a day of rest.

The Vote is Power.

The great cry of men, says a wri-
ter on woman suffrage, is that wo-
men do not want to vote. We must
make the women sec that they are
not free. But how2 is the problem.
By convincing the men. No one
denies that the man is usually, at
present, the dominant mind in the
family, because he holds the purse
strings and can vote. That vote il
power, and that power holds wo-
mans mind negative. She can moi
be dependent in these respects and
truly independent in others. 1'hc
mother must ask for the money even
to clothe the little stranger whom
she expects, and into that little ward
robe are sewed thoughts of depend
ence and servitudc. SO it is with
every thought of her life. Una
ware of the fact, as she often is, she
must look to man where she should
look only to God and her own ma
ture for what she needs.

SENATOR HARRIS, of Tennessee

SENATOR HARRIS, OF Tennessee, is at
the head OF a coalition of democratic
senators who have started 10 on the im-
possible task OF trying 10 shame the re-
publican senators into confirming some
OF the nominations now pending before
the senate. Mr.. Harris hiss announced
his purpose OF making motion every day
to 60 into executive session in order to
consider these nominations. The facts
10 the case are without precedent and
should bring a blush TO the cheek of every
fair minded republican. After the pres
idential election of 1880. Hayes sent TO
the senate $50 nominations, nearly all of
which were confirmed. After Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected, Arthur sent TO the sem
ate 812 nominations and all of them were
confirmed except twenty. Now Mr..
Cleveland has sent to the senate since the
election OF Harrison ASS nominations, of
which 1873, relating to army and navy
promotions that may be considered non.
political, have been confirmed. OF the
S25 other nominations, the most of which
were made to Ill official vacancies, only
forty>eight have been confirmed, leaving
the enormous number of 227 Enacted up>
on. Such psrtissuship has meyer before
been displayed by the senate. but even
the mosrconservative republicans seem
to glory now In what they are doing.

A GREAT SCHEME OF TUNNELS.
New York to Have Underground Come

New York to Have Underground Connec-
lions with the Suburbs.
New YORK, Feb. 26.-Two years ago He
man Clark, the sell-known contractor,
preached scheme for a great system of tun-
nels under New York city and the East and
North rivers, connecting the city with subur-
ban points Little attention was paid to the
plan, as it was considered too expensive to be
practicable. Yesterday Mr. Clark announced
the completion of the arrangements for car
rying out the great work. A capital Of $3.50
DOC, 900 has been guaranteed, of which $780,
OoO, 900 is considered sufficient to do the tun-
nelling The tunnels win be $50 feet below
the surface, thus avoiding all buried
wires, gas-pipes, etc, and avoiding
any difficulty with the rivers. The
main tunnel will extend from the city hall
in New York to Fleetwood park on the north,
under Brooklyn to Coney Island on the east,
and under Jersey City to Newark There
will be four tracks. Freight and passengers
will be carried Tie passenger trains will
run at full express speed Elevators will
convey freight and passengers between the
street stations and the tunnel The plan for
carrying freight will relieve the city streets
Of much trucking Cars will be brought
under the larger stores, and freight can be
lowered directly to hem Negotiations are
now pending with tie city governments for
the required permiss on to begin work.
