The cost of operating the pumps is
greater because the charter provision that

over to the city, RETAINED from any but
absolutely imperative work and operated
at minimum OF expense. The only place
where q reduction could be made is in the

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The announcement is made tha. by
April l the reading room In connection
with the public library will be open
20 visitors. The energy exhibited by
the ladies, who now form part of the COM
mission, in the days before the library was
made municipal institution, has not
ahated, and the work they started in to ac-
complish viii soon have so far progressed
that the doors can be thrown open with a
fair catalogue of books. Ii will be two or
three months yet before that can be done,
hut in two weeks the periodicals and mag
axines will be available. A very comfort
able reading-room has been formed out of
several apartments on the top door of the
Occidental block, and adjoining it are
rooms in which the books viii be kept.
The library is entitled to 10 per cent of
all fines. licenses and fees paid to the city,
and this source of revenue alone will
afford from $1,000 to so, 900 year. With
good management. such as the present
policy of the commissioners promises. this
will be sufficient to maintain library
worthy of Seattle.

ONE-sIDED ARGUMENTS.

In the Methodist Episcopal church, a
religious community that is estimated as
representing about one-tenth of the popu-
question" is just now leading and very
lively issue. 1t is presented in the shape
of proposition to admit female members
of the church as delegates to Its general
conferences. The idea of equality of the
sexes in all religious work met with great
favor and carried all before it in the local
conferences, but in the upper bodies has
encountered seemingly impregnable
barrier Of ministerial objections.
Some of these, based on Scripture and
church annals, as uttered by DIR. Hartman
in the late Baltimore conference, have
been quoted in these columns. But the
learned professor of Greek and Hebrew in
Dickinson college urged other objections
directly related to contemporaneous facts.
These related to occurrences at late
meeting of the National Woman's Coun-
Gil and of the Woman Suffrage Convention
at Washington City.
"A number of ministers went to the

land when they heard the opening ser.
mon, that had no Christ in it and when
they heard the biblical account of the ere
alton of the world spoken of as an ex-
ploded myth, and especially when they
heard Mrs. Stanton's essay attacking the
Scriptures read and enthusiastically ap-
planded," they were converted into op-
ponents of admitting pious Methodist
women 20 the general conferences. and
''one of them," says this learned professor
of Greek and Hebrew, 'wrote us that what
he had heard there had done what our ar
guments had failed to do, convinced him
that the safe side for the church was To
vote in the negative"
To this professor Of Greek and Hebrew
and student of church annals, and TO his
reverend correspondent this may appear to
be sound logic, but there never was more
ralpable or bladder non segsiiur. Other
wise, II the conclusion is properly deduct
BILE fsom the premises given, the argument
