emphatcally, No. In the past she has ever been
legislated against, and has never been allowed an
equal showing with men in the struggle for life.
That in very recent times there has been an i'm
provement in her possibilities, is in no manner
owing to the legislation in her behalf by our pub
lc-spirited congressman and legislators as a free
will offering, but by the pressure brought to bear
upon them by their Constituency pressure due to
the influence OF a few brave women, who, to effect
this change in public sentiment, have braved social
ostracism, ridcule and derison. Men have never
conceded anything to women (unless it is to say
with their lips, but not by their actions, that wom-
en- are better than men, which public opinion did
not force them to do. Away with such false
pretenses.
Mr. Oates very much fears new Innovations he
entertains horror of getting out Of some Of the
old ruts travelled by our ancestors, he is repre-
sentative of class of iron bound conservatives,
men who have resisted every advancement of the
human race class who, but for the pressure of
public opinion, would still cling to their belief in
flat earth and stationary planets; men who have
resisted in the pss freedom and truth No doubt
il Mr.. Oates had lived far enough back in the ages
he could have been found cnging to the civiliza-
ton of the stone age, or even the age preceding
that. One can easily imagine the eloquent gen.
teman protesting against the substitution Of skins
for leaves as wearing apparel for the human race,
and no doubt he would have regarded the woman
who first had the independence to substitute manu-
featured goods for skins as "man-woman, whom
he processes so much to dislike, because she does
not appreciate the sphere to which God (?) and
the Bible (?) have assigned her. He says;
can Unborn love Of liberty, integrity, superior
courage, steaainess and fxedness OF purpose, and
high sense of honor are the characteristics which
must exist in those or at least majority Of those
members Of the community, State or nation in
which the governing power should lie vested in
order to secure wise, steady and benefcent repub-
can government. These qualities may be height
ened sharpened, and made more active in the
school-room, but they are not acquired there-they
are God-gven. All Of these qualities are found
in women only in rare instances. All OF these
qualities not essential to woman to enable her
to fill the sphere assigned to her by a wise
Creator"
Does he claim all these excellences as special
legacies to his sex? Who excels in patient watches
by the sick and helpless, is it man? Does Mr.
Oates pretend to compare the courage, which,
stimulated by -oftentimes with ntoxi-
cants-can brave the lannon's mouth with that
which patiently waits and suffers in sorrow, sick
ness and suspense at home? The world seems at
present ready for the comparison between the
different qualities Of courage displayed by men
and women, and there is also tendency to be-
lieve that the quiet, patient steady courage OF the
woman, though differing, is equal to the physical
courage as displayed by man.

II we knew the cares and crosses
Crowded round our neighbours way;
II we knew the little losses,
sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For the lack Of thrift and gain
Leaving ON his heart a shadow,
Leaving on his heart stain?
II we knew that clouds above us,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While tits only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past?
II we knew the silent story
Quiverng through the heart Of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of vice and shame?
Life has many tangled crossing,
Joy has many break of woe.
And the cheeks tear. washed are whitest,
This the blessed angels know.
Let US reach within our bosoms
For the key to other lives,

Soar to realms of light again,

In eight weeks more the public schools Of the
city close the scholastic years work and take
vacation of three months Perhaps it would not
be saying too much to assert that these schools on
the whole have gained in popularity and usefulness,
more perhaps than at first glance appears. They
have increased in numbers, and from the employ
ing first of score Of teachers only, they now have
regularly employed corps Of almost three times
that number The buildings, too, are fast be-
coming ornamental as we'll as useful to the city.
Little Rock, so beautifully located, SO rapidly
spreading in every direction, will soon be able to
point with pride to her fourth we-built, commodi-
Gus, modern school-house. Commencing as did
our directors, financially embarrassed, who shall
say that they have not planned wisely and well;
for today the public schools, not only Of this city,
but Of the State, are attracting attention.
That they are receiving criticism is not matter
Of SURPRISE to the contrary it is TO be expected,
and will result in calling attention to the defects
which mar, and may even suggest remedies there
fore. Many Of the schools have had larger at
tendance than is deemed by experts advisable but
this has been caused partially by the incoming of
new citizens, and partly because, as schools, they
are rapidly gaining ground. The system is no
longer an experiment, it is we'll established, and
the people are not slow to recognize the fact that
the basis OF higher education can be better OBJ
tanned in them than in other schools. We use the
term higher in its true sense, as the schools do not
attempt the work Of the college, academy or univer
sity. The moral tone Of the schools is good, and
the discipline as laid down in the rules and regu-
lations prescribed by the board productive Of ex-
ceent results. 1t excludes temporarily from school
privileges those who are awless and restless under
restraint and calls the attention of the parents or
guardians to faults that may exist in their children
or wards, Of which they are not aware. 1t CO.
operates with them in checking or graduating
these evil tendencies, and helps to develop the
higher moral nature Of those intrused to its fost
ering care.
The recent discussion in Congress relative to
the admission Of Wyoming with the woman suf-
frage clause in its Constitution, has caused many
Of the honorable gentlemen Of that body to show
their hands, or rather we should say, their heads
Some Of them seem afraid Of comparison of that
part Of their anatomy with the heads which their
sister women are in the habit Of holding up for in
snection before the world, and have laid them
selves liable to the suspicion that they have made
a correct estimate Of their own hat-bands. Mr.
Oates, of Alabama is terribly afraid Of any inno-
walton in old habits and customs. In regard to
the rights Of women, he says; "Are not all OF her
rights as well protected by courts and jures by
the law Of the land everywhere, as though she had

HDURNG the discussion IN Congress upon the adj
mission of Wyoming, Miss Apthony,was seated in
the gallery watching the vote with the most in
tense interest, and just as soon as the voting was
over number of the members sent their congrat-
ulations to her in the gallery. They could not
but realize that it was bright hour in the life of
one who has spent forty years at work in the
woman's cause.
Why does the gentleman on the race track ''for
Congress" button up his coat so tight? Is it to
"show off, his fine proportions, strengthen his
patriotism or hold down his temper. Which?
And the would-be genial expression is funny. 1t
sits upon his sour, legal countenance in comical
fashion, which somehow or other reminds one OF
the boy on the corner, who stuffs the cigar stub
in his pocket while he returns the greeting Of his

iron, coke and coal, and we can bring ores here
much cheaper. Then the lumber of Western
Pennsylvania is becoming exhausted. and this
would place us in direct communication with
the great forests. The wealth it will bring to
Plttsburg in transportation facilities is untold.
Chief Bgelow-Increased means of trans
portation is always source OF wealth. Rates
by boat are always lower than by rail, and it
means more trade. Pittsburg would no longer
be an inland city.
Controller Morrow-The Erie Ship Canal
would be of inestimable value to Pittsburg.
We could get our manufactured products out
to the world at much less cost than at present,
and could bring IRON ore and other. raw ma
terial in cheaper than we can now.
Mayor Gourley thought the ship canal would
be a good thing. but does not expect to see it
built in his time. He believed such n project
would place PittSburg on q higher plane in the
commercial world than she could ever other
wise attain.
Views OF Iron Manufacturers.
Mr.. Harry Oliver, of Oliver & Phillips, the
Southside iron and steel firm. is a warm sup
porter of the Lake Erie Ship Canal project and
would like TO see it go through. MIR. Oliver
SAID that he did not know just the specifica-
tions that had been decided on by the canal
commission. In order to make such canal
useful the depth of water should be great
enough that the lake steamers could come
direct to Pittsburg from the ore regions with
their loads. IL the ships have TO be unlo2ded
and the cargoe transferred to smaller vessels
TO make the trip to PittSbung then 1t would
be 4 question whether the expense would
I've less than at present. The lake ore-carrvlng
vessels require sometimes q 20-foot draught of
water. If it can be IN lde possible to bring the
ore direct from the mines TO Pittshurg, the ben
Gift will he incalculable to Pittsburg firms alone
in the matter of transporting ore.
Mr.. John Phillips, the prominent iron and
steel man, is also friend of the canal, and says
that it would be grand thing for the whole
country if built on a comprehensive, available
l,lan

AS the music-loving public has learned
by disagreeable experience, there is opera
and opera, and the fairest promise is some
times followed by the poorest performance.
No one, however, will run any risk Of dis
appointment who visits the Opera House
while The Bostonians are playing there.
This company has done no boasting, but it
is far and away the best organization OF its
class now before the public. Its member
ship includes fresh, charming voices and
vocal and dramatic ability which places
them in the first rank of the profession. The
Bostonians for completeness OF detail, thor
oughness Of preparation, and all-round ell
cheney of principals, of chorus and OF or
chestra, have never been equaled by any
English speaking company in this city.
They are so admirable that no one who
knows and enjoys good opera when he hears
it can afford to miss them, and there is no
reason why anyone should. We feel that
we are doing our musical readers a service
for which, if they take our advice. they will
heartily thank us for pressing the merits OF
The Bostonians upon their attention. Seats

CHIEF JONES TESTIFIES
IN HIS OWN BEHALF IN THE CASE
BROUGHT BY WlNN.

He Admits Getting the Money, but Says it
Was All Right-He Denies Making False
Patrol Runs-Other Witnesses Give Their
Evidence.
Chief Jones, of the Allegheny Fire De-
par tment, testified in his own behalf in the
Investigation before Mayor Wyman yester-
day morning. He said that for time he
had charge OF the police telegraph system at
a salary of $50 month. After Chief Crows
death he was elected to fill the vacancy In
August 1889, he went to Mayor Pearson and
told him he would have to get some one to at
tend to the police telegraph work as he had no
time. "The Mayor suggested Winn," said the
witness, land hired him to take out The crosses
and do work of that kind, agreeing to
pay HIM $40 month, [ did not consider him
competent to take charge of the system. We
would go together and locate the trouble.
When the Pleasant Valley lines were being put
up. they interfered with the police lines and
several registers we're burned ont. l do not
think Winn was abba to fix box. would test
the lines quite often when there was trouble.
The Chief admitted signing tho voucher to
Controller Brown for S20Q but did not consider
it as in connection with the department. He
paid Winn $50 out OF the S2U0 and told him, that
thereafter, he would give him SO month. and
that by spring he thought he wonid be able to
keep quiet, nor never TO tell how much money
he was getting. He denied sending the false
alarms.
In opening the care for Chief Jones. W. ID.
Porter, Esq. made a long address ridiculing the
idea that Jones had done anything to cause
false runs or anything else that was illegal
He SAID that if it was wrong for Jones to take
the money, it was wrong for Crow to have done
so. as he did the same as Chief Jones. He said
the Mayor. Controller and Treasurer were alike
guilty of a violation of the Wallace act. The
Police Committee might be landed in the work
house. Mayor Wyman suggested that the body
of Councils be included.
Mr.. Gardner, who constructed the Gamewell
system in Allegheny, testified how the system
works. He said box could be placed on line
and pulled, causing run. Chief Morris
Meade, of the Pitts3urg bureau of Electricity,
gave similar evidence.
Florence Hall was operator in the Mayors
Office. He spoke of often sending the wagon
to the house of Roh,rt Knox, because the box
there was continual being pulled. He had no
recollection of Jones' pulling the box.
EX-Policeman Charles Metz testified that he
saw Chief Jones and Mr.. Glenn at an open box
on Beech street ortly after the system was
put in operation. He had found the door of
the patrol box pried open and reported 1t to the
office.
The hearing will be continued on Thursday
morning, December ii.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
Was First in War, First in Peace and First
to Boom Ship Canal-He Wanted the
Ohio and Potomac Connected.


to Boom a Ship Canal-He Wanted the
Ohio and Potomac Connected.
Mr.. c. Kimberland, who is one of the
most ardent supporters of the proposed Ohio
river and Lake Erie Ship Canal. has rein
forced his position by reference to the views
of him who is recognized as first in war. first in
peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen,
but not generally known as one OF the first to
understand the Importance of commerce as
factor in the creation OF wealth as well as pro-
motive of civilization.
Washington an engineer by profession, and
i'll consequence, observant of such matters,
foresaw that the point on the Atlantic coast
where an outlet should be made for the prod
ucts of the West would be the great city of
the future. and he attempted to spur the Nir-
giuians to make that point Norfolk. Washing
ton inherited his full share of State pride. and
he urged the Virginia Legislature TO connect
the James or the Potomac with the Ohio. His
advice was not taken, hence the greatness of
New York.
In 1910. New York City had a population of
96 ST7 and Philadelphia could eclipse it several
hundred having 9G.69L New York had 4
statesman in those days, Dewitt Clinton. He
secured the connection of Lake Erie and the
Hudson by 4 canal and in little more than half
4 century. New York and her envIrons have
grown more than 20 times their size when the
canal was opened. Before that time
New FORK had but little more
than the trade of the Hudson river
valley. Since then New York has been the
Empire State and New York City the metropo-
lis of the Union. and its entrepot, Philadelphia
and envIrons. has not made more than half
this progress because they allowed New y ork
get the start, as PittsburE may eventually
let SUme down river town do.
When W Washington was urging Virginia
to become great she was the foremost
State in the Union. as is shown
by the call for money according to
wealth made by the general Government in
11Sl. Virginia was assessed the most and about
four times as much New York, which was
then in the rear of Virginia. Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania. Maryland. Connecticut, New
Jersey. North Carolina and South Carolina in
the matter of wealth and development. but
wise craftsmanship and enterprise pulled it out
of the mire. Had Norfolk been made the
metropolis as Washington desired, there
might have been no occasion for the great
civil war.
Mr.. k!mberland argues that all Pittshurg
needs TO assure Z rank among the inland cities
equal TO that of New York among shipping
ports is efficient water communication with
The Northwest. We would. by means of the
canal, have n lake port as well as Chicago and
when navigation is free of ice tho canal will be
worked to It's utmost capacity.
