10 a shield which is to occupy a promi-
nent position in the woman's build
ing. 1t will be made up entirely OF

A MANLY OPPONENTS TRIBUTE.
President Harrison as a Patriot, an Orator
and Statesman.
New York Press

New York Press
While General Harrison may not
have built up a personal follow
ing, or inspired in the hearts OF his
associates anything like enthusiastic
devotion, he has soberly and without
artifice earned the respect and, in
many ways, the gratitude of his fel-
low citizens of all parties. His COM
munications by writing have been
admirably direct, frank, forcible and
ineligible. The figure he has pre-
sented on state occasions has been
always dignitisd and respectable. In
his informal intercourse with the
people in mass, as in his remarkably
original, witty and sensible speeches
from the rear platforms of various
Pullman cars, he has managed to come
nearer to the popular heart and to
the Republican ideal than any presi-
dent since Abraham Lincoln.
We have reserved to the last what
will undoubtedly constitute General
Harrison's chief title to fame and
gratitude as the years go by. To his
everlasting honor be it remembered
that he was one of the first of Ameri-
can statesmen to recognize and appre-
ciate the broad significance OF that
great revival of the American spirit
which marks the end of the nineteenth
century. Whatever may have been
his mistakes or shortcomings in other
respects, he has never wavered in his
fidelity to the flag that is the glory
and pride of sixty-tire millions OF
people. His country's business with
the other nations of the earth has
been conducted by him with vigor,
dignity and success. Under Secretary
Tracy, to whom the nation owes
special gratitude and thanks, the navy
has grown to be real power. In the
Samoan affair, in the difficulty with
Italy, in the Chiliau dispute, in our
complicated and delicate relations
with Canada, in the matter of Ha-
waiian annexation, General Harri-
sons Impulses have been sound and
patriotic, and his actions wise, firm
and splendidly American.

THE CABINET LADIES.
These Will Be washington's Society Lead
ers for Four Years.

AS the members of the presidents
cabinet are, under him, the leaders in
the political life of Washington, so
also the wives of the cabinet ministers
are, under the lady ofthe white house,
the leaders of society in the capitol
city.
A regularity of the next four years
in this regard is that only three of the
ladies of the cabinet have had before
any notable society experience. Mrs.
Gresham, wife of the secretary ofstate,
has for years been thrown in contact
with famous people through her hus-
bands political prominence; Mrs. Car
Isle, wife of the secretary of the treas
ury, John G. Carlisle, has been well
known in Washington society for a
long time as the wife of one of the
most notable Democrats in the
country; and Mrs. Lamont, wife of
Daniel Lamont, secretary of war,
occupied during President Cleveland s
previous administration the puzzling
position in Washington socie4y ofwife
of the presidents private secretary.
But Mrs. Wilson S. Bissell, the new
postmaster-general's helpmeet, did
not begin life as society woman
until Inauguration day. She is the
daughter of mildly prosperous parents
named Sturges, and her marriage to
Mr.. Bissell interrupted her ambition
to become a concert singer. During
the three succeeding years she made
many friends in Buffalo, but was by
no means a society woman. She has
two-year-old daughter.
Mrs. Hoke Smith, wife of the secre-
tary of the interior, is the daughter OF
distinguished Georgian, but has not
previously known social life in any
city larger than Atlanta, her hus-
bands home. Mrs. Smith is the
mother of three children and has been
married three years.
Secretary of the Navy Herbert is a
widower. His daughter will be the
head of his household at Washington
and the youngest OF the ladies OF the
cabinet.

PAY OF COLLEGE PROFESSORS

President Hnrpcr Says the E.l1ca-
tors Of America Arc Sadly Undcr-
paid.
President w. r. Harper of the Chi
cago University analyses in the Sep
TENDER Forum statistics of salaries paid
to professors in 124 American colleges.
College professors, compared with
Pennsylvania mill hands, it seems are
sadly undcrpaid. At some iron mills
the entire laboring force is paid quite
as highly as many college professors.
Only the highest class of professors are
to be compared with the lower grades
of responsible officers Of Il railroad, in
duStrial corporation or insurance COM
pany. President Harper makes strong
plea for college pensions and thinks the
average pay should be raised from
ST., 400 to $4,000.
The salaries of the lower class Of
professors, says DR.. Harper, compares
with the wages Of the skilled workmen
employed in the mechanical industries
The salaries that range upward from
the general average of $1.47O compare
with the pay of the skilled and rcSpon-
sible operatives and OF the lower grades
of responsible clerical and subordinate
administrative employees. 1t is only the
highest class of professors, the incum-
bents of responsible and eX;lcting posts
i'll the larger colleges and universities,
who are to be compared with the lower
grades Of the responsible officers of Il
railroad or IN Industrial corporation or
insurance company.
There is practically no class of col
lege professors whose pay is on a level
with the pay of men in positions of first
or second rank and responsibility in the
industrial community: and yet nobody
questions that the higher grades of uni
versity work requires quite as exception
al gifts and quite as elaborate prepara-
ton, together with all the most desiru-
bic traits of character that go to make
up the highest efficiency in the front
rank of industrial life. For the en-
ploylncnt of equally rare and indispen-
sable talents, in equally eNacting and
responsible positions. the teachers in
our universities are paid ut Il rate that
Will in no wise compare with tirst-rate
