To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Being one of the ''disinterested citizens Of
Washington mentioned in the report Of the
National Geological Park commission January
II, 1880, as possessing Especial ability in the
determination Of the value of real estate"
who gave their services without compensa-
ton or reward in efforts to ascertain the value
Of land before locating the park, have been
In position from the beginning to know and
have kept myself informed as to all the plans
relating to its organization and development.
Mr.. Hornaday never contemplated the estab-
lishment OF menagerie for the people of this
District. His hobby" rs he called it, was
purely scientific one; the first effort to be made
was for the preservation from extinction of
rare North American animals. His design was
to keep the park in its wild state and place tho
animals In those portions best suited to their
nature and requirements. Mr.. Fred. Law
Olmstead's estimate Of -, 700 per mere he char
acterized as "a ruinousiy expensive plan" say
ing. 1.-THE way Olmstead talked about the cost
per acre for improvements fairly made my hair
raise
Neither was it his idea to spend much money
in the purchase OF our native animals believing
that they would be mostly donated by generous
citizens Lions, tigers and other foreign ami
mails, he thought, conld be obtained from time
to time by exchanging for them duplicates Of
our rarest species. No blame attaches to Mr.
Hornaday for the getting up Of this combina-
ton, gicai-National-D District Of Columbus
greatest show on earth Ito be-. The response
bility for the present mixed state OF affairs
rests on the shoulders OF j. q. Cannon and s.
p. Langley. The latter, in his eagsrness to get
a reservation for his astro-physicaI observatory
wrote a letter to Mr.. Cannon approving his
plan Of charging to this District one-half Of the
| appropriation Of 1000 for the maintenance
OF the park.
The idea Of having a Geological Park orig
mated with Prot. Goode, ASSISTANT secretary Of
the Smithsonian Institution, and was most
actively pushed by Mr.. Hornaday. 1t was not
intended that the people OF the District should
have anything to do with the collection and the
movement in its favor was wholly in the scien-
tiic circles and not participated in by the peo-
pie generally. II. Z. MANN

On the informations that have been in use for

only that he failed TO keep his place closed.
On this proof Lawyer Oscar Nauck, counsel for

that there should have been two separate counts

have been made on either count but where the

WOMAN SUBORDINATE IN THE FAMILY.

The family, too, Is based on the idea of
woman's subordination, and man has no in
terest, as far as he Sees in emancipating her
from that despotism, by which hisnarrow, selfish
interests are maintained under the law and re-
iislon OF the country. Hence, however stoutly
the advocates OF suffrage have maintained that
political equality for woman would not affect
religious faith nor family life. whenever the
question comes up in thehalls of legislation or &C.
ciesiasticai assemblies, the argument invariably
DRIFTS to the divinely ordained head of the
state, the church and tie home. end the Bible
Is brought into requisition to prove the inten-
ton OF the Creator rs to the sovereignty Of
man. Let US henceforth meet conservatives on
their own ground and admit that suffrage for
woman does mean political religious, indus
civilization. BY making these demands for
liberty In oil directions we should quadruplc
the agitation, rs well as the antagonispa and
meet all our opponents at the same time and
answer every argument.
Woman's happenings and Development are
OF more Importance even than all mans in
situations. Ii constitutions and statute laws
stand IN the way of woman's emancipation
they must be amended to meet her wants and
needs, OF which she is a better Judge than
man can possibly be. II church canons and
scriptures do not admit of womans equal
recognition in all the sacred offices, then
they must be revised in harmony with that
idea. If the present family life is necessarily
based on mans headship then we must build q
new domestic altar. in. which the mother shall
have equal dignity, honor and power, and
We do not propose to wait another CEN
fury to secure all this; the time has come
Women understand the situation and are or
ganizing az never before. They have men,
cries of freedom in the past and dreams of its
realization in the future. There is . deep, un-
satisfied longing in the soul Of women for free
dom, growing stronger day By day, that sooner
or later will burst all bounds and carry every
barrier before her. There are instincts alike
in man and beast thas inpsratively demand
