ms statement does not include the
business Of the money order department,
which would also show net revenue of
no small amount. The business Of the
office for the half year. since June 80
last, would doubtless show proportion
ate increase over that Of the preceding
six months.
The increase in business for the year
ending June 80 1899, over that Of the
previous year was nearly $4,000, an
evidence that the commercial aud manu-
featuring interests of Wilmington are
developing and increasing at a rate that
is healthy and encouraging.
The Office turned over to the Post
Office Department a net revenue OF
nearly $33 00O profit Of about So per
cent, which is an enormous profit from a
commercial standpoint. 1t must be
remembered however that the govern.
ment owns a building in this city and
there is no item Of rent TO be included in
the expenses.
The increase of pieces handled is an
other evidence of the growing import
ance Of this city, from postal stand
point, and of the increased facilities that
the new post Office will give.

Reform Laws Wanted.

10 ire Ehfor!
Pass laws which compel " Our Girls to
attend school for term OF four years, say
between the ages of eight and fourteen years.
Pass laws prohibiting the employment OF
females under the age Of eighteen years.
Pass laws creating Board OF Employment
Judges, to be appointed by the Governor,
whose duty 1t shall be to issue certificates
stating that the bearer IL deslrouS of obtain
ing employment; that she has attended q
school OF instruction for a term of four
years, and that she is eighteen years of age.
The effect of such laws would be as fol-
lows. viz. Education would qualify - Our
Girls " to become truthful, moral and right
eous housewives. Anti-employment laws
provide term OF years in which to learn
cooking. Washing. ironing. dressmaking,
millinery, DC.
Tho Thousands of our Young men, how.
ever. who are daily looking for ''home-
makers, competent to properly conduct a
nome when they own it, would not stand IDLY
by and witness Our Girls becoming
slaves, II they had the assurance that the
market affords housekeepers instead OF
spendthrift ornaments.
a provision OF law prohibiting the en-
ployment Of females under a certain age,
works no hardships and deprives the in.
diyidual OF no rights which she now enjoys.
With these reforms once established the
question is readily answered.
We will appreciate them as fast aS God
can create them and place them in q nice

Make @ Politician of Her.

To the Editor:
The highest political authority Of our
land, the Constitution, endeavors by law to
guarantee equally to all of our girls life.
liberty and freedom for the pursuit Of hap
piness.
These words form the solution OF the great
query. Give the girls the greatest amount
OF liberty possible, freedom to follow
peaceful pursuits IN maintaining life and
securing its eni0yments. II then by political
government We may hope to receive surety
OF protection to life with the guarantee OF
liberty and pursuit OF happiness, we can
easily see that onr social life depends closely
upon our political life.
With pure politics we. our girls, may
be reasonably sure of happy lives. and, vice
versa. If our lives are not happy politics
must be the remedy. The youth Of both
sexes, educated here under the innpir-
ing influence OF free schools. free press
and free speech, take the intelligent interest
day.
Even when wives and mothers our girls
can continue to study and consider these
problems. thereby helping to make Of their
brothers and later of their sons noble msn
in the cause Of humanity, and making
themselves at the same time the peers and
equals Of the greatest minds OF the age.

The great Mr.. BARSuN recently filled
the pulpit of Bridgeport church and
laid out an East Bridgeport minister who
had denounced his ballet-girls. He de-
molished the parson, but possibly proved
too much about the women in his specta-
Gle. According to Mr.. BARNuM they are
such paragons Of modesty that a male
being would shrink from turning up the
bottoms Of his trousers in their presence.
But the minister was wrong just the same.

Enfranchise Them.

To the FditOr
All our girls want is equality with the
boys and they will take care Of themselves.
Women. in the past fifty years. have won
enviable positions in nearly all professions
and arts. although atrociously handicapped.
In many instances they have applied for
public positions. and. though far surpAss-
ing their brothers in the requirements for
such positions, have been rejected because
they were. unfortunately, girls and could
not vote.
In nearly all positions that are open to
them they receive far less than their BROTH
eis for the same services. Our public schools
pay fema.e principals and teachers about
half the salary the men filling like. positions
receive. Our girls have clearly demon
strated that they are competen to fill any
position they prepare for, aud all they want
Is all equal chance. This can only be accom-
plished by their enfranchisement and the
aid OF the press.
. Since the EVENING WORLD has undertaken
to solve the problem, let IL continue its good
work in aiding the oppressed, who bear
their cross without 9 murmur.
