AIMED AT RICH WOMEN.

Kate Fields Washington
Woman's inhumanity to woman
would make countless thousands
mourn, ifeither men or women stopped
to think about anything. Men in
their wills endOw public institutions,
including male and occasionally fe-
male colleges, as did the late Mat
thew Nassar; bnt where are the rich
women who, when called to pay the
debt of nature, rememb ered the ne
Csssities of their own sex? They
do not forget the missionary,
or even male universities
but was ever so much as
training school for cooks rounded
on the bequest of woman? There
has just died in Baltimore an esti-
mable lady who gave Johns Hopkins
University 100000, and there founded
chair of English literature. Not one
of her sex is benefited by that chair.
What woman living, having the
means, is enlightened enough to give
substantial aid to the annex of
Harvard University or Columbia?
Read the lives of great men and note
the influence of their mothers. 1t is
well that the desire to please the OPP
pOsite sex should dwell within every
human breast; but to sacrifice justice
10 generosity is not the way to i'm
prove the race.

QUEER WAYS OF WOMAN.
From the Philadelphia Times,

1
The ways of woman are queer.
A woman can faint away at the
sight of a bit of blood on her finger,
have all the children in the house
screaming with fright, require eau
de cologne to bring her to and be
nervous for twenty-four hours after;
| yet the same woman can, in perfect
silence, stand by and help a doctor
perform an operation that may mean
| death to some one she loves.
A woman can scOrn what she calls
made-Over clothes, can laugh at in
| discriminate charity, and yet the
same woman can cry as If her heart
would break and take all her spend
ing money to buy an OvercOat for u
newsboy she met in the street cars
because his face was so pitiful.
She can take two hours and a half
to dress to 90 to the theatre, and then
tell Charlie she knows she looks like
a dOwdy; but the same woman can
pack trunk with things enough to
last her for two weeks in twenty min
Utes when she gets a telegram saying,
Come as soon as possible; your moth
er Is SICK
She can write an article on the
charm of neatness and the exquisite
beauty of tidiness, and disport her
self in torn silk petticoat without
any compunction or conscientious
scruple.
She will bake a chickens until it IS
brown and then calmly AK the mas
ter of the establishment if he doesn't
think the English way of roasting is
preferable to anV other.
She can do most anything she
wants, and she wants to do most
everything except, thank goodness,
wear trousers,

Madge in London Truth.
We won't to prayer-book parade
on Sunday after church, and took
note chiefly of the prevalent muddi-
ness of boots. The ground was in a
sadly sloppy state. Some of the
women hitched up their skirts in the
back with varying degrees of un-
gracetulness. Others allowed their
garments TO train, regardless of the
muddy doom that awaited them.
! There were some remarkable objects
to be seen. One was girl in short

very tall girls. her long mantle,
with its hanging sleeves and high
collar, making her look still tall
err. Lady COnyer's black lace over
shot-silk looked summer-like. Her
daughter wore a tan redingOte lined
with pale blue. and had pale blue
sash fastened on one side. Her black
hat was very becoming. The crowd
was a thin One--Owing, possibly, to
the unmitigated damp of the weather
and the raw cold of the atmosphere.
Neither Of these, however, prevented
a girl from wearing a thin whitei
gown, unlined, and invested with a
spurious air of wintriness by the adj
dition OF bands of brown velvet laid
on here and there. Two sisters look

WORKING FAIRLY WELL.

The testimony taken before the Congress
sonal committee shows that the Exclusion
Act is working fairly well. 1t would work
better if the Federal courts had not allowed
Chinese landed on habeaS corpus writS such
latitude in the way of probationary residence.
Mr.. Ruddell, Custom. house Inspector
connected with the Chinese Bureau, said
that in nine months Of the year 1888 200
Chinese had been taken from the vessels on
writS, and that since the commencement CT
1889 1892 had been permitted to land. Only
about per cent of the Chinese ordered
remanded by the appellate conrts have been
arrested and returned to China Collector
Phelps testified that the bonds accepted when
Chinese were allowed TO land were, in most
cases, worthless. Of 105 bonds forfeited
not one had been collected. The Collector
also explained that the transit order en-
abled Chinese 10 go to Mexico and ultimately
TO cross the border into the United States.
With all these laches in administration
the law is working out good results. The
figures show that departures have exceeded
arrivals by about 1900. Admitting that a
couple OF thousand have smuggled them
selves in through the courts and as many
more over tie border, we are still making
progress in the right direction. The COM
mittee we trust will not be Influenced by the
statement that the services of the Chinese
in the country are in demand. The Chinese
on this Coast are occupying places that would
be fllei by white people if the Chinese
were not at hand. There is no reason why
we should have Chinese laborers in this
State that does not apply with equal force
to all the northern tier of States. In the
Southern States the cheapness of colored
labor affords the Chinese no opening. The
testimony taken by the committee will be
laid before Congress, and we trust induce
that body to give us an iron-clad Chinese

NOT HONEST POLITICS.

The New York Times declares its convic-
ton that the Federal Election Bill is not
honest politics; that it is not really intended
to accomplish what it pretends to seek, and
that 1t has its origin in very base and I'M
patriotic motives. This would be pretty
severe Indictment if it were supported by
evidence. On its face the Federal Election
Bill purpOrts to be a measure to secure a
lair y'te for members of Congress in all
parts OF the country, 1t applies, under GER
tain specified conditions, to every State in
the Union. 1t fixes the source of power
under 1t in the Federal courts. The officials
1t creates with authority to supervise cleo
tions where there Is doubt of fair play are
not appointed by the Administration or by
any official whose term of Office is subject to
the Administration. The faith of the Gov
eminent is pledged to secure for every voter
to cast his ballot Probably the Times
thinks the disfranchisement of a class of
voters in certain States preferable to Federal
supervision of elections in States where the
exercise of the right to vote is attended
with such penalties that very large pro-
portion of voters habitually remain away
from the polls. Possibly the Times thinks
1t is honest politics for one-third of the
voters of district to send to Congress a
Representative whose vote on measures
affecting the entire country is determined
by the question of rare supremacy in the
South. 1t is well known that nearly the
whole body of Representatives from the South
vote against measures proposed by the Re-
publican party, not because they think
those measures unpatriotic in themselves, but
because they regard the continued success
Of the Republicans as menace to white

rELLEn.s FREE COINAGE BILL.

Free coinage Is not party question.
Democrats and Republicans are found on
both sides OF the proposition. 1t is matter
of doubt whether if the free coinage PROPOSE
ton came up on lis merits, it would CON-
mand larger support from the Republican
party than from the Democratic. 1t hap
pens, however, that the Administration is on
record as opposed to Tree coinage, at least
ntil the present Silver Act has had fair
trial. Should Congress pass free coinage
bill there issdoubt whether the President
would sign it. Under these circumstances
it is likely that when a free coinage bill
comes before Congress good many Demo-
Gratis would vote for it who might hesitate
to do so if their vote was final. The propo-
sition of Senator Teller is to store silver and
issue treasury notes at the rate of 81 % to
the ounce. This would be fixing an arbitrary
price on silver bullion. The market price
at present huctuateS about 105 cents an
ounce. Under the Teller bill we should
have a paper currency based upon silver
bullion on an artificial valuation. In other
words, we should have paper dollar rep
resenting about so cents worth of silver
bullion, measured by gold. The wisdom of
the policy would depend largely upou our
ability to maintain the paper currency at
par with gold. This could not be done I'M
less the act should cause silver in this and
other countries to rise to 81 % an ounce.
If such rise should not follow it would be
impossible to prevent this paper currency
issued against silver at that valuation from
depreciation. But it is argued that if there
should be some depreciation the paper cur
rency would be maintained at its face value
in this country. 1t would be legal tender
for all debts which on their face were paya-
BILE in coin. But itw0uld not pay debts made
payable in gold. To what extent mortgages
on Western farms are made payable in gold
we do not know In this State and on this
coast all promises to pay specify gold coin
as the medium of payment. The New York
Tribune says in reference to this bill that
it would not provide more money for
mortgages on farms" From this we infer
that SO far as the Tribune is informed
mortgages are payable in gold. For many
years The CALL has advocated a double
standard of gold and silver. If that double
standard can only be reached through
temporary drop to the silver standard, the
sooner the drop comes the better. But it is
not clear yet that the present bill will not
restore silver to its old price of 81 90 an
ounce and thus do away with any necessity
for drop to the single silver standard.
The proposition which the President is be-
lleved TO favor, to purchase in lump the
S13,o0o,00O or Sl4.0oo,0oo of silver with
which the market is stocked, would absorb
the silver surplus and leave the regular
purchase of 4,500,0O0 ounces month to
deal with the current supply. When silver
is once raised to its legal ratio to gold all
objections to free coinage will be removed.
We shall then lave bimetallism in the true
sense of the word.

supremacy in certain of the Southern States.
The Northern States expect to abide by
decision of majority of Congress on in
dustrial measures, but they protest againsta
solid vote against their interests by body of
Representatives who do not give moments
consideration to the measure they vote
against. Leading Southern journals have
declared that if the protection policy could
be voted on without consideration of party
ascendency, they would support it; but they
cannot support measure upon which hinges
the greater question whether the Demo-
cratic or Republican party shall control the
Government. The Times, being an advo-
cate Of free trade. finds in this solid body of
Southern members who vote with the Demo-
Gratis on general principles allies in its war
against protection. II the Times gained
for this issue, which it considers the domi-
nant question of the day, as much by the
impartial operation of Federal supervision
over Congressional elections as it gains by
the practice which keep colored voters from
the polls, its opinions on what constitute
''honest politics. might undergo a change.

THE sWEET-WINE CLAUSE.

The sweet-wine clause in the Mckinley
tariff is viewed with unfriepdly eyes by the
whisky trust. The trust asserts that in
some cases brandies intended for the fortii-
cation of sweet wines have been placed d.
rectly on the market. The effect of this
would be to give producers of grape brandy
an advantage in the market over the pro-
ducers of corn whisky. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that law good in itself should not
be repealed because of frauds perpetrated
under it. Possibly some brandy designed to
fortify wines may have been sold as brandy
without having paid the Government tax.
But there is much reason to fear that con.
siderable whisky gets on the market with
out the official knowledge of the Govern
ment. The sweet-wine clause in the Nc
Kinley Tariff Act contributed to the sue
cess of the Republican party at the recent
elections. Republicans will not, probably,
be persuaded by the whisky trust to repeal
that clause. The Democrats will have their
way in the succeeding Congress, and may
make the repeal of the sweet-wine clause
one of the changes they will propose in the
Mckinley act. But while the Republicans
control the House the sweet-wine clause is
safe,
