The Educational Department.
Bree7

The time has evidently come accord
ing to the New England Magazine when
the educational department OF the
United States should be put upon a
stronger and broader basis. 1t is at
present merely a bureau in the depart
Inent of the interior; and the bureaus
in that department have become so
numerous that it is perfectly plain that
some efficient division should at once
be made.
This bureau should be made de-
partment, To be called department of
education, and the chief Officer should
be styled the secretary OF education.
His salary should be the same as that
of the secretaries OF all of the executive
departments. But he should not be a
member of the cabinet The Office
should be in no sense political one,
but it should have permanency. like
the Office of the secretary OF the Smith
sonian institute or the librarian OF con-

Pretty Girls in the Treasury Department.

Some OF the prettiest women in the
country are right here in the Treasury
department, says the Washington Star.
A great many of them are Washington
ians, but as class, they represent the
beauty OF the whole country. They
are blondes and brunettes, short and
tall and medium; some plump, some
queenly. some of 1.-THE and willowy
form they are fairly the types of the
several great cities and about all the
states of the union. In that one build
ing, covering four blocks, is to be
found more beauty than hunt through
many large cities might discover A
large portion of the female clerks are
young, or ut least on the minus side of
old maidhood. Office life is not pro-
motive of longevity, and many OF the
elderly women have died off or reached
an age beyond business.
Those who have come into the de-
partment within the past four or five
years are mostly young women. who
have just passed through the normal
schools and have entered the govern
ment service through the civil service
examination. They are a bright lot of
young women. In many cases il is,
perhaps. that they are the pretties t
girls OF the family, which inspires them
with an ambition beyond the drudgery
of homework or the trials of school
marin and induces them to strive for
the more agreeable WORK ana better
pay under the civil service. And this
may account for there being such a
preponderance OF good looks.

Senators Will Vote on the Tariff
Bill at 3 O'Clock To-Day.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The senate
to-day decided to postpone the final vote
tomorrow. Important amendments
to the wool schedule were offered.
The tariff bill was taken up immedi-
ately ON the conclusion of the morning
hour. Mr.. Allison asked to have de-
bate limited under the ten-minute rule
after o'clock to-day, but Mr.. Vance
objected on the ground that there was
too little time left for the conSidera-
ton of the bill, and that he
should object to any agreement that
| did not contemplate an extension of
time for the debate on the bill. He
| asked that the time for. voting on the
bill he extended twenty-four hours.
Pending private discussion of these
points of difference, the consideration
| of the amendment of Mr.. Brown
| to the Rice schedule was resumed,
| and I. Morgan read long speech.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Vest it was
| agreed that general debate be continued
until 5 o'clock to-day. and that all
| speeches after that hour be limited to
| ten minutes, and that voting on the bill
| begin at o'clock tomorrow. The
senate at 6 o'clock took re-
| cess until s o'clock. At the even
| ing session of the senate it was
| impossible on account of pairs TO obtain
a quorum on the vote on Mr.. Jones'
amendment putting wool on the free
list. 1t was finally defeated by a viva
voce vote. On the roll calls Messrs.
| Brown, Payne and George voted in the
negative with the Republicans. Mr..
| Vest offered an amendment reducing
from 10 to Is cents pound the duty
on woods of the first and second class.
In support of his amendment ne stated
! that the National Association of Wool
faction with the wool schedule of 1888,
which was the existing law. Mr.. Sher-
mali said that the gentleman con-

The senate was engaged in an effort
| to undo the wrong done in 1888. Mr..
| Vests amendment was lost, and on
motion of Mr.. Allison the duty on wool,
or second-class, was increased from II
to Is cents pound. Mr.. AllisOn's
amendment having been carried, he
| further moved to increase the duty on
woods of the third class, valued at or eX-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The house
to-day fixed 4 O'clock next Thursday
afternoon as the time for taking the final
vote on the Oklahoma bill. Mr.. Bacon,
of New York, asked the unanimous
consent of the house for the con-
sideration of bill to estab-
lish a lighthouse with a fog bell ON
Oyster bed shoals in Hudson river, but
Mr.. Kilgore objected. Shortly after the
introduction of bills was begun, Mr..
PayS0n, of Illinois, and Mr.. Anderson,
of Iowa, began filibustering by offering
long bills and asking their reading in
extenso. The friends of the Oklahoma
bill having assured Mr.. PaysOn that GER
tain amendments should be offered, and
the friends of the Pacific railroad funding
bill having assured both Mr.. PaysOn and
Mr.. Anderson that their bill would not
be called up, these gentlemen desisted
from further filibUSteriug, and the call
of states continued without further in
terruption. Mr.. Brewer, of North Car
DINA, introduced a bill to repeal the
tax Oh tobacco and moved its reference
to tie committee on war claims. BY q
vote of 100 yeas, nays 1876, the motion
was defeated, and the bill was referred
to the committee on ways and means.
At the conclusion of the call of states
Mr.. Warner, of Missouri. withdrew his
pending motion to suspend the rules
and pass the Oklahoma bill, and in lieu
thereof moved to suspend the rules and
adopt resolution providing for final
vote on that bill at 4 O'Clock Thursday
next, with permission to Mr.. Payson, of
Illinois. to offer an amendment to
the section relating to town
sites. Mr.. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, opposed the resolution,
on the ground that it did not give the
house fair opportunity to amend the
bill. Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, stated
that every opportunity would be afforded
for amendment. Arguments against
the resolution were made by Mr..
Hooker, of Mississippi, Mr.. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and Mr.. McCreary, of Ken
lucky. MIR. Perkins, of Kansas, spoke
in favor of it. The motion was finally
| agreed to. yeas 1913, nays rs. The house
passed, under suspension of the rules,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Gloomy fore

here tonight. The Republicans of the
senate will caucus on the omnibus Dill.
ItIis believed that, as matter OF party
politics. the Republicans cannot consent
to risk the vote of North Dakota on di-
vision. If North Dakota should vote
against division. then under provision OF
Springer's bill the delegates would have
to assemble at Bismarck and form one
grand imperial state. Republican
senators see the trap set for
them, and will not enter it..
Senator Plat is bitterly hostile to
the omnibus bill, and said TODAY that 1t
shall never pass as it stands. The DEM
ncrats of the house will not recede from
their position, and admission OF South
Dakota seems farther than ever re
moved. Chief Justice Trip will leave
tomorrow for Philadelphia. Judge
Spencer and Judge Bookings leave for

TAYLOR will leave on Thursday. Hon.
WE. Miller and r. N. Stevens will re-
main until Saturday. Judge Moody
will remain for some time yet to keep

yet pass the senate, and Will be ac-
cepted by the house. He is the only

cause of death. They will also urge the
passage of the dependent pension bill.
These gentlemen were appointed by the

vorably report the nomination of Judge
Atkins to he postmaster at Kansas City.
Senator Sawyer says: This is not a
precedent for the confirmation of the
30 nominations before our committee.
They may not be considered during this
session. AT Kansas City the postmaster
was removed and an inspector put in
charge. He is hot bonded officer, yet
handles $1,000 daily. We must have a

camOring for confirmation need not
consider this case as a precedent in their
