The Harrison administration has given
it out fat footed that all women employed
by the government in Chicago must go,

ecutive OF the nation set the pace by ro-
moving Mrs. Mulligan from the Office OF
pension agent and appointing In her
stead Col. Ike Clements Of Southern Hi

mer, the recently appointed collector OF
internal revenue. having received the tip
straight from Washington. publicly an
nounced that every woman iu his office
must make room for a good Republican
voter who can be Of some benefit to his
party when the proper time arrives, and
his first official act was to demand the res
ignatlon OF every clerk in his Office, both
male and female. This accomplished. his
next move was to accept these compulso-
~ renunciations as fast as be settled with
heelers upon the chosen successors.
When this was satisfactorily arranged

G. Manner, Collector.
This, to one of his latest victims, q
bright, finely educated. competent young
woman. who is thoroughly conversant
with the details Of the department in
which she works. but who, torsooth. is a

American born citizens, and flied the va

he found her an efficient clerk. Collector
Stone was glad TO continue her services;
then, too, she was a woman who was
earning her own living. aud that was
argument enough Tor the Democratic co.

the future.
