 Is Woman like thisa Said the head of an establishment giving employment to over one thousand women the other day in pub- lished interview: In nearly every instance where have endeavored to advance women to responsible positions it has been met by the most persistent and systematic opposi- ton from tho other women. I have about come to tho conclusion that body of women would sooner have tobacco chewing, cigar stub puffing, coarse hammered, irritable man over them than the most amiable, efficient and business like woman that could be select- ed. Why, I have known instances where a number of women consented without mur- mur to have the office boy, seated at a roller topped desk, give out work in the absence of the chief, rather than allow one of their number, who was thoroughly equipped, the post of honor.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

SeHator Manderson of Nebraska makes as good an argument for secret sessions of the senate as can be made. He says that if the executive session ia abolished it will result in insstimable injury to the public service. The burden of the executive session work is the investigation of the lives and character of those who are selected by the president as public servants With the increase of pop ulation and the extension of political res responsibilities which must deyolve upon the government the duty of making fit selections for the higher offices in the republic will be- come more difficult. Tho present practice in executive sessions, which submits all evi- dence for and against Appointees, and; which makes every member an advocate or prose- cutor, as the case may be, is intended to pro- mote considerate and just conclusions. But abolish the executive session and what be- comes of this fair dealings The evidence, being largely of nature which precludes airing or discussion in public, would still have to be reviewed in secret, and in lieu of its exposure to the whole senate, acting in good faith for the public welfare, 1t would be confined to a committee whose reports would be, in the majority Of cases, accepted in the eenats with perhaps little or no re- sistanee or general investigation.
 There is force in this, but there is no doubt Shat the executive session is looked upon with disfavor by many, perhaps most, of those who have good opportunities to judge of its usefulness. Senator Henderson him. self admits that it's abolition is almost inevi- table,

the bottom step of the porch or on the eill of the door. Hs Is, in short, an into!erable nuisance, and should be abated by ordinance or legal enactment of the legislature.
 In the big city there is no excuse for the existence of tho peddler who goes from house to house. Aside from being nui- sance to housekeepers he is an injustice to merchants who keep stores, pay rents and tsxes and advertise their goods. The agent or canvasser is peddler and nothing more, and he can easily be dispensed with if house. keepers will do their duty and save annoyan- ces by refusing to buy anything except from legitimate business men at their stores.
 A REMEMBERED TONGUE LAsH1Na
 It will take a year or more to drive tho pests out of the business, but it can be done in the city. In the country the peddler with his pack is more of necessity than hui sance, and people will go on encouraging him to the end of time. Every woman in the city has been more or less plagued by fluent agents selling or trying to sell every- thing from lamp burners to carpet sweepers or other labor saving devices.
 A woman without servant may be called to the door 8 dozen times a day by these peddlers of one thing or another, and an angel could not preserve her temper under the frequent trials housewives have to un- dergo. I remember that the worst tongue flashing ever got was from woman in Kim ney street, who came to the door with dough on her hands and abused me roundly. By comparing notes at the office subsequently learned that she was the wife of one of the most successful and most pertinacious agents in Newark.
 Even she had no sympathy with the busi- ness which gained her bread and butter. l am thankful that am out of the business now, and sorry that I staid in it for week, for know now that my face is hateful to thousands of the best women in Newark. Horse car driving is 8 noble employment compared with the 'sgenteel' occupation of canyassipg.
 Men who employ canvassers will tell you that not one man in ten succeeds as a can vasser. Shall I tell you whyi It is because only one man in fifteen or twenty has the effrontery and impudence to stick to it.
 The young man with sensibilities soon be- comes disgusted with the work. Not merely because he is unsuccessful for lack of impu- dence or ssfront," as the old ones call it, but because he has heart in his bosom and Is possessed of something like 8 conscience.
 I never put it to people that I had wife and family depending upon my impudenee for living, but that was truly the case, and I am thankful now that they no longer have to do it. I doubt now that could. ever bring myself to jerk door bells again while there was a chance to earn an occasional half dollar by shoveling snow or coal.

SUNDAY ENTERTAINRIENT.


 Chicago is lively city. and its preachers are evidently trying to keep up with the pro- cessIon. Among tho subjects of sermons that were delivered in that city last Sunday were the following: "Ibsen's Dramas" "A Tour of Syria" Lotteries" "Sabbath Ob- servanee at the Worlds Fair," "Electricity as Factor of Civilization" "Power of tho Press," "Who Will Succeed in Chicagoa' Glow to Tell Your Own Fortune" ]" Empty Houses." "Some Chiosgoans Who Have Failed" IA Study of The Angelus.'"
 This is truly interesting list. Small won- der that the Chicago Herald is moved to re- mark: Are there no sinners to be converteda Should people no longer be instructed about making preparations for the life beyond the gravel Is there no need of preaching the gospel of Christi Did Knox, Wsslsy, White field and Edwards commit an error in not preaching on timely topicsl Is our Brother Moody committing the same mistake to-dsy9 They certainly succeeded in collecting and holding large congregations and in interest ing them in things purely spiritual. If our ministers can find no sinners to convert, and there are none in their congregations who need instruction in spiritual matters, they should seek to insure to them some of the blessings that pertain to the life that now is. They should advocate tariff reform, the ele- vation of railway tracks and the reduction of taxation. By so doing they will assist the Herald in the good work 1t has undertaken and hopes to accomplish.
 These remarks can be needed with profit in other places than Chicago.
