THE FORCE PARTY IN THE SUFFRAGE MOVE
MENT.

The American man affects to hold the
snffrage-seeking woman in awe and to
be in fear of her aggressive progress,
but the American man has no cause for
alarm to be compared in seriousness
with the danger that menaces the male
Briton. Miss Cozzens-not our Phoebe.
but, perhaps, cousin-has been talking
out in meeting, over there, and express
ing sentiments which show that the
British woman, in pursuit of the ballot,
is in deadly earnest. 1t was at a session
of the Women's Emancipation Union, in
up. She said the time for talk
had passed and the time for ac-
ton had come. Men were sup
posed to be possessed of physical force,
but women had the use of dynamite the
same as men, and she believed some-
thing desperate would have to DO done
before they got their freedom. Women
had no friends in men. Men had been
women's mortal enemies. and would be
for all time to come. There had never
been a blo0dless revolution yet. If
women could shoot straight men would
not tritie with them as they did to-day.
If they had q regiment of women who
could shoot they would have the fran
cbise in a week. On being asked il she
advocated the use of dynamite she re-
piled that she did. Women could not
get their freedom in any other way.
Here, then. is what threatens the En-
glishman if he does not speedily allow
the English woman to vote. Women
have humbly entreated that the privi-
lege be granted; they have followed the
example of the old man of the story
book by extending first polite request,
then by throwing grass in the direction
of the stubborn offender, and now they
will proceed TO the last resorr-that of
throwing stones in the modern and
. more effective form of dynamite or guns.
The stones brought the boy down out
of the tree. and Davy Crocket's coon
made haste to come down before the
shot was fired. Englishmen may as

its printers good wages, and should have
good printers. 1t ought not to pay good
printers wages to poor printers or to
boys learning the trade. If the Office
were placed under civil-service rules no
appointment could be made except after
an examination as to persons qualif-
cations as printer. Congressman could
not pay off political debts by appointing
poor printers or boys to learn the trade.
The best printers in the country wonld
then stand the best chance of getting
situations in the Office. because they
could pass the best examination, and the
government you'd getmuch better serv-
ice. These are strong and practical
reasons why the Office should be placed
under the civil-service law, and it is to
be hoped the President will so amend
the rules. He might we'll have done so
before, but better late than never.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1892-11-13
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The proposition to place the Govern
ment Printing Office under civil service
rules is supported by good business rea-
sons. AS now conducted. that Office is
school for printers who learn the bust
ness at the expense of the government.
Appointments to positions in the Office
are secured by political influence, and
any person may be appointed who has a
political pull or can secure sufficient
backing. AZ a matter of fact many very
poor printers arc appointed and many
boys are put in to learn the trade. There
are several thousand persons employed
in the Office. Many of them have been
there considerable length of time and
are first-class workmen. while others are
known as '.blacksmiths," and many are
persons who have learned or are
learning the trade at tho expense of
the government The government pays

For Practical Philanthropists.


The sketch of Paul Dunbar, the talented
colored youth of Dayton, O.. which ap-
peared in the Journal some weeks ago from
the pen of Dr.. James Newton Matthews. of
Mason, ILL.,. has attracted considerable at
tention and has brought the writer letters
of inquiry from various parts of the coun-
try. One gentleman from Montreal mani
tests his interest in practical way By
sending Dr. Matthews $40 to be rsed in
buying books for young Dunbar. This
gentleman suggests that the case affords an
opportunity for philanthropists and friends
of the negro race to DO an individual and
his people q service by assisting this lad TO
. more congenisl occupation in which he
can better develop his literary and poetic
abilities and that will allow him moro

ty TO make namc for himself would do more 10

most anything else that could be done FOR them.

There may be difference of opinion
as to the great Importance of having more
poets of any race. but what DIR. Mat

true, as the influence aud encouragement

THE political canvass in Great Brit
ain lasted but few weeks, but ON both
sides it was marked with disorder and
violence. Mr.. Gladstone was injured by
missile thrown by woman; Mr..
Chamberlain had to give up making
speeches; Mr.. Stanley, the explorer of
Africa, narrowly escaped with his life,
and his wife was insulted by British
mob as no Northern American voter
would permit a woman to be insulted in
public place. In Ireland the canvass
was a succession of riots and head
breakings. Disorder was the rule. In
the North that sort of thing has been
gradually dying out. 1t was rare that
meeting of one party was even annoyed
by members of the other. In the South
Weaver was rotten-eRged and Mrs.
Lease was insulted, but the South, in
which parties are not tolerated, does not
count. In the North there was not a
disturbance growing out of the CAM
paign that involved injury or insult to a
prominent speaker. 1t is thing for the
people of the North to be proud Of.

University Extension.

The course of university extension lect-
urea which opened in this city on Friday
evening proved anew that lectures on cdu-
cational topics will draw q sufficient num-
Der of hearers to make them success in
point of attendance. The present course on
American political history. by Professor
Woodburn, is q continuation of the series
delivered by the came gentleman last year,
and will undoubtedly be equally instruct
i've and profitable to his audience. The
character Of the audience on Friday night
demonstrates again, however, the point
raised before. namely. that university ex-
tension does not reach or does not attract
The class of persons for whom it was orig
inally intended. In England, where the
system was first put in opera
tion. it mao met with the APP
prevail and patronage of laboring men
and women-persons of intelligence
who have no hope or prospect Of what is
here called college education, and perhaps,
no ambition for it were it within reach, but
with . measure of general information
which they are willing to increase when
the opportunity comes in their way. The
lectures ore delivered there in the work.
mems own club-rooms and halls. and the
rooms are crowded with eager and earnest
mechanics of all ages and conditions. Sew
eral theories have been advanced to &C.
count for the failure of the system here to
win the Same popular attention. Ope is
that the American mechanic and working
man is. as q rule, better informed than his
English brother, reads more widely both.of
periodical and standard literature. and,
knowing that the sources of learning are
constantly within his reach In public IL
braries, has less anxiety to profit
by the casual supplies afforded by
lectures. Another suggestion is that
lectures there arc made especially inviting
TO worRingmen by being given in rooms
near their own homes and convenient for
their attendance. and by the assurance that
they are intended primarily for their ad-
vantage. However all this may be. it is
certain that university extension audi
ences on this side of the water are conf
posed mainly of teachers who wish TO
brighten up their stock of knowledge. of
students preparing for college life, and of
bookish people who never lose an oppor-
tunity for intellectual Refreshments. The
Journal offers no criticism on this condition
of things, but merely calls attention to the
facts; nor does it contend that university
extension lacks in any respect because il
appeals to one class rather than another.
Intellectual agitation is always beneficial,
and if this particular phase of 1t affects the
teachers rather than tho people the latter
are snre to derive the ultimate benefit.
Professor Woodburn's course on political
history is of timely interest, and the one on
English literature to follow 1t will doubt
less prove equally attractive. The College
Alumna ASSOCIATION deserves commenda-
ton for it's enterprise in providing this edu-
cational annex.

RESIDENTS of Indianapolis are so &C
customed to slovenly municipal house
keeping. and are so hopeless OF improv-
ing it under the present administration
of affairs that they have ceased to pro-
test at the condition of the streets, but
they do cringe little at the expressions
of surprise and disgust from strangers
who are used to better ways. The ac-
cumulations of mud and filth on the
asphalt streets are. in particular, cause
of amazement to such visitors. Else
where than in this city such streets are
washed and swept with such care that
when rain falls they are not covered
with mud, but are clean as floor.
Elsewhere. if sand wagon dripping
its load along its path is driven
over asphalt pavement the driver il
promptly arrested. Elsewhere street.
car companies are not permitted to
cover their tracks with gravel in such
abundance that it is scattered over the
pavement each side and left to be
ground into it by passing wheels. In

paved streets. but not one of them is
properly cared for. Washington street
is at all times filthy and i'll kept, and on
