Then Senator Faulkner went ahead and

Harr,.on'. War ON Women.

President Harrison prides himself. II is
said, upon the eminent success he has
achieved In smashing senst orisl states and
divers things political in and about Chi
cago. His latest exploit In this line Is the
utter wreck of the rule established by
Gen. Grant aud religiously adhered to by
his successors until now. under which the
pension Office In this city was set apart
for women. Miss Sweet. the daughter of
a gallant soldier OF Illinois. was the first
beneficiary of this rule. and held the Of
fee through the later years OF the Grant
dispensstion. and continuously until four
years ago, when 1t was given to Mrs.
Mulligan, the widow OF another hero
whose services In his day made his name
illustrious.
In all these years there has been no
complaint of lack of efficiency on the part
of the incumbents In fact, the business
of the pension agency has been so careful
ly, methodically and promptly conducted
as to receive the highest praise from the
accounting officers of the treasury as well
as from the thousands of pensioners who
receive their allowances through IL. In
view OF this admirable management it
has been generally supposed that il
the present administi alton at Wash
ington felt impelled to make q
oh In, ha hn oh rxrNnlA
be in the line OF the commendable
precedents referred TO. and that the
emoluments of the important place
would continue to be given to the worthy
widow or daughter of some brave soldier,
and in her hands would still afford en-
ployment to women having like claims TO
consideration.
But the professors Of political poll
tics" are now running the government
machine, and women. having NO votes.
are useless to machine politicians. Mr..
Harrison has undertaken 10 reorganize
the republican party in Illinois as Hsr
rison party. and he expects by the use of
his patronage TO accomplish that design.
Men suited to his purpose are not numer-
Gus In Chicago. for almost every reputs-
BILE republican politician there entertsins
for the grandson Of his grandfather the
same profound contempt that is so freely
expressed by men of influence elsewhere.
For this reason the president was con-
strained to go down to the borders OF
Egypt for pension agent. and to bring
thence hustler" from whom good ser.
vice may be expected In the Harrison
war upon the Farwell faction of the
party.
And so, after some fifteen or sixteen
years of honest. capable and efficient
work, the women are ousted from the
pension agency and the Office will hence
forth be a camping. ground for party
hacks and presidential-mach opera
ors. There is no reason to expect that
the change will be an Improvement.

A CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.

Charged Against Canadian and His
Wife-The Benwell Removal"
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, March Son Feb.
II last F. c. Benwell, a young Englishman,
was murdered in swamp near Woodstock,
Ont His body was found few days later,
and still later j. r. Birchell and his wife,
whom he married in England, and who is q
very pretty woman, were arrested, charged
with the murder. Birchell il known to have
been on intimate terms with Benwell, and
was last seen in the latter's company on the
day he disappeared. There are other sus-
picious circumstances.
Infamous Conspiracy Charged.
The preliminary trial took place here yes
October assizees at Woodstock The town
yesterday was full of people, as the murder
has excited extraordinary interest. owing to
the current belief that Benwell's murder was
part Of a conspiracy to decoy wealthy
young Englishmen to this country to rob
and murder them. Public sympathy is with
Mrs. Birchell, and when the judge decided
to remand her in the custody of officers for
ten days there was loud cheer.
A Very Cool Prisoner.
Birchell himself is the coolest prisoner ever
seen in court. He was brought in hand
cuffed, but wore kid gloves, and was nattily
dressed. He seemed Indifferent to the
proceedings, and upon Being asked
IL he had anything to say, spoke with
