Violation of the Exclusion Act.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The passenger
agents of the Grand Trunk and Cana
dian Pacific Railways have been in cor
respondence with the Treasury Depart
ment, in regard TO the liability of those
roads in the transportation of Chinese
seeking admission into the United States.

the railway officials that their respective
companies violate the law relating to the
exclusion of Chinese when they convey
to points in the United States persons not
lawfully entitled to enter our territory.
The Treasury Department takes this
view of the case, and has instructed the
proper officials to notify the railway
authorities.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 10.-The Star says:
Tammany is but slimly represented in
Washington at this time, and if anything
Gntoward happens before tomorrow
Richard Croker of the city and State of
New York will have to shoulder the
blame. Mr.. Croker is generally cred
tied with being the ''boss'' of Tammany.
"Ice-man" Turner, who is doorkeeper of
the House, evidently is of that opinion,
for when Mr.. Croker yesterday tele-
graphed to Turner to go to New York
Turner could not get to the depot too
rapidly.
AS soon as the Tammany men in the
New York delegation heard OF the ukase
received by Turner, they, too, resolved to
return home, and, as a consequence,
Judge Tim Campbell is the only Tam
manyite at the Capitol to-day. The Judge
believes there is or has been by this time
a consultation at Tammany headquarters
over the offices which the Doorkeeper
controls. There are l52 positions, and
the total sum annually disbursed exceeds

slice Of that pie, and will probably get it.

HerOines and Women.

1t is worth while to note the strange,
warped ideas of married life that are
promulgated by the common run of
novels, even by those that belong to the
popular domestic and highly moral
school. The husband is usually either
brute who has no appreciation of the
needs of woman's nature, or narrow
minded tyrant who denies to his wife
the exercise of any talents she may
possess, out of mean jealousy of her
mental superiority. His love for his
wife flags, after year or two, and if
her health and beauty fail she need ex-
pect no tender help or sympathy from
him; but rather that he will seek dis
fractions beyond his home. Her hold
upon his affections is so precarious that
she must be perpetually upon her
guard, careful not to lose an inch of
vantage-ground. One feminine writer
speaks bitterly of homes where " Power
and Patience sit by the hearthstone,"
as though the husband must necessarily
be a despot and the wife double
dealing slave. Such pictures are
libel upon honest American manhood.
There is no country of the civilized
freedom as in America; and however
it may be among the ornamental classes,
the average American husband in the
middle grade of society is too busy in
providing for his family, and trying to
guard against the possible rainy day, to
chase will-o' -wisps. And fortu-
nately, too, there are women whose
goodness and wisdom make of the home
a House Beautiful; yet they do not be-
long to the clinging-vine order so vigor-
ously sneered at by the advanced
sisterhood; for, when an hour of adver-
sity comes, they know how to put their
shoulder to the wheel with telling
effect. That there have been wrong
and in justice in the laws governing
women is true, and that there is still
room for improvement is equally true;
but it is gross eXaggeration to speak of
modern marriage as perpetual servi-
tude of body and soul that knows no
limit and can hope for no escape"
The women who have done the most
toward their sex from the bondage of
conservatism have not expended their
force in irrelevant shriekings.-
