WOMEN On SCHOOL BOARDS.
They Are = Decided Success, Aud Prove
Much More Satisfactory than Men.

uuey are y DeCIOeO SucCeSes AO0 tfOve
Much More Satisfactory than Men.
This is no experiment in Illinois,
but an acknowledged success. In
1873, the law WAS passed making
women eligible to all school Offices.
At the next election ten ladies were
elected county superintenden,s OF
public schools, and large number OF
ladies have since served as school
directors.
A county superintendent who
served nine years in one Of the lead
ing counties OF the State made especial
study OF the work of women directors,
aud arrived at these conclusions:
l. Women usually have more time
ut their command than men; they,
therefore, do more visiting Of schools,
and thus become more intelligent con
corning their workings.
:. They pay more attention to de-
tails. are quicker 70 detect unhy mic
conditions and other deficiencies abou,
the school premises, and show more
mother wit in rtmed.ing them.
3. They are more economical-that
is, they get more for the money ex-
pended; they are not SO liable to be
talked into buying needless things
to get rid Of agents; not being so
pressed for time as gentlemen, they
take more time to examine anything
offereG, and decide on its merits. On
the other hand, they are more quick to
detect and ready to purchase what is
really needed in the school,room.
I. In visiting the schools they &c, at
the real condition OF things more &C
curately than the men do, because
pupils and most teachers are more At
ease With them than With gentlemen
inspectors. Then, as the large pro-
portion Of teachers are ladies', they
talk more freely of their work with
ladies than with gentlemen, and thus
the board has better chance to know
the workings of the school.
Another thing noted with confessed
surprise was their ability TO grasp and
handle the financial part Of the boards
work. A number of instances were
cited in which the women on the
board Strengthened out many 'snarls.
One of these was on the board OF a
small city, where the books and 40
counts were in such inexplicable con-
fusion that the board actually talked
Of burning them and beginning anew.
At this junctura the wife OF leading
merchant was elected director, aud
soon was made clerk Of the board.
She took the books and accounts in
hand, spent weeks OF hard work upon
them. but succeeded in bringing order
out OF chaos, and until her removal
from the plac" several years subse-
qu"ntly, kept the books IN excellent
shape.

Saltwater Democratic:
Since Rutherford B. Hayes has de-
clared that the Mckinley bill is an
outrage on the American people and
has denounced it as such the Repub-
lican papers all over the country are
INDUCING in some most unseemly
levity at his expense. Facetious refer
ences to Mr.. HAYES penchant for
raising blooded fowls are now to be
found in the columns Of papers which
few years ago accepted Mr.. Hayes
as an authority on all matters OF ma
tional politics. 1t depends, you see,
on whose OK is gored.

Up Go Prices.
Tribune Topeka:

A general advance in the prices of
dry. goods is reported from all parts
OF the country since the passage OF
the new tariff law. OF course the
East reaps the benefits of this law at
the expense OF the people of the West.
And it will be noticed also that the
poorer classes of the people suffer the
most.
Advices from leading cities
throughout the country are almost
unanimous in the statement that
wholesale and retail merchants are
advancing the prices of all goods af-
fected by the tariff bill, concurrent
with that measure going into effect.
In New York and Chicago, hosiery
has already advanced twenty-fiv Der
cent, plushes and velvet twenty to
fifty per cent; generally dress goods
ten to thirty per cent; outer clothing
OF all kinds ten to thirty Der cent ac,
cording to the quality of the goods
The cheapest grades OF goods are af-
hcted the most. Linens have ad-
vanced nearly forty per cent, cottons
and woOlens about the same.
Ex-President Hayes, in an inter-
view with newspaper reporter said,
regarding the Mckinley bill:
II cannot find words to express nv
regret at the passage of the measure.
1t is runious to all our best interests.
and it will do an indefinite amount of

stand how public men can be so

at large as to pass such a bill. 1t is

The greatness and purity of our
congressman was forcibly set forth
this week in Unpublished report that
a few of them had q million dollars
specializing in silver bullion. Before
the passage of the silver law, 40, OOO,-
600 ounces was purchased by them
at from 95 to 100, and since its pas
sage, they have sold the bullion to
the government at $1,OOO,0OO prof
it. The only wonderful thing about
this is their simple modesty.

The Pacific Roads.

It is evident that the refunding OF
the Pacific railroads bonds will be
brought up for action early in the
short session of Congress. The lead
ing financial journals of the country
are beginning to shape public senti-
ment in that direction. The follow
ing is taken from Bradstreets:
The Government directors very SEN
sibly agree with their predecessors in
advising that the time for the pay
ment of the company debt be ex-
tended. The company offers in re-
turn for an extension OF time mort
gage on it's whole property, which
would increas e it's security to the Gov
eminent to the amount Of $34, $780,
COO above that held at present.
They advise the passage of the bill
proposed by Senator Frye's COM
mittee, which, they say, will remove
completely the embarrassment under
which the Union Pacific suffers at
present, will insure to the Govern
ment the ultimate repayment of
every dollar which it has advanced
to the company, and will relieve the
people who rely on the road for ac-
commodation from all anxiety as to
it's future. They regard as wise the
provision in the bill which makes the
Government an ordinary mortgage
creditor and the company an ordin-
airy creditor. The Frye bill will prob
ably form the basis of such action as
Congress will take in reference to the
Union Pacific debt to the Govern
ment. The bill Will in rease the Sc
surity of the Government. whose ne
cessities do not call for immediate
payment OF the debt.
This relates only to the one road,
as the debt to the Government of the
whole Pacific system amounts to
over $780, 100000 Besides this the
Frye bill referred to includes in it's
provisions all the Pacific roads. Just
why this particular branch is singled
out and made the subject OF this
comment is not quite clear. This bill
recommends the extension of all
these bonds from fifty to seventy
five years, at a rate of interest vary
ing from l to per cent per annum.
The whole matter is so mixed with
fraud and corruption that it is diff
cult to cOncede any rights whatever
to these companies, and it is we'll to
keep the people posted on all efforts
in this direction. These roads have
been building branches with the mon
ey that should have been paid to the
Government, which has taken over
$72, 100000 from the people by tax
alton, and paid it out as interest on
the debts OF these roads, Instead of
being compelled to pay this interest
themselves. they have been permitted
to expeIn1 it in building independent
lines. A more thorough disregard
for the peoples rights could hardly
be imagined. After all this deception
and trickery, it is proposed to loan
them yfor long term OF years.
Why not seize the roads under a
Judgment and try the experiment. of
Government ownership? Suppose
the Government should make a fail
ure and lose the whole? 1t is bound
to do that under present conditions
anyway. Ii it should prove a success,
the experiment has been made with
out any cost Or trouble. National

from Ohio, in speech, Sept. 18th,
1890, laigned the Senate in the
following elegant style:
The senate of the United States will
learn there is bar of public opinion,
and that at that bar it is being tried.
The cloak of senatorial courtesy"
has become q stencil in the nostrils
and a byword in the mouths of all
honest citizens of theland. 1t means
the cloak behind which ignorant and
arrogant wealth can purchase it's
way to power, and then hide it's
cowarhy head behind the shameless
protection of senatorial silence" 1t
means the cloak which shall cover up
from the public guze of an outraged
people the infamies which demand an
investigation and which meant pun
ishment of the broken laws and vio-
lated statutes. 1t means a cloak be-
hind which petty party chickering's
may barter away party principles
