ANOTHER WOM4N ASKS WHY.
A Maiden Lady with n Few Pertinent
Questions Of Her Own.

why" began a mild voice. that caused
me to look up from my paper, the listener
and the first "Y" woman being too alb
sOrbed in each other to care why or how
things came about. why do men from
the time they are old enough 10 be called
more than boys continually pirate Of the
virtues their wives must possess and then
in nine cases out Of ten marry just the
sort OF creatures that they talk
against?' II was not aware that they
did" l put in mildly, for there was fire
In the eye and conviction in the voice Of
the speaker.
Oh, yes they do. They pirate Of sweet
girls with quiet manners and refined tastes
they talk against hirts; they abhor con-
spicuous dressing; and yet il is the CAV.
dashing girls of the very sort they revile
that get all their a,,ention and whom they
eventually marry"
Perhaps they hope TO reform them. 3"
suggested the listener at this point, with
a mirthful CLEAN in his eyes.
oh, no, they don't, for they wouldn't
II they could" went on the INDIGNANT
spinster; they like bright attractive
wives who shine In society far more than
the sort they do so much talking about
IL their wives are inclined 10 be wrapped
up In their homes and their children.
then these lords OF creation are found I'm
the society OF wives who think that dress
and superficial accomplishments are more
to be cultivated than the intricacles OF
bread-baking and the darning of socks
There is no use denying II. for the fact
remains, and again / merely ask why

THAT WOND RFUL PLAN.

Tho miserable hybrid born Tuesday
night Of that sapient body calling IT.
self the City Democratic Committee. and
named by It primary election, has re-
ceived nothing but jeers and contempt
on all hands from the moment OF Its
birth II is said that in Arkansas. when
a man gets euchered on lone hand
they fringe the lower extremity OF his
shirt and lead him around town. Not
bad fate for the man who devised the
present scheme.
The Committee must have seen by
this time the scorn and disgust that It's
action has aroused on all hands, and, II
disposed to act sensibly. II will at once
reconvene rescind its absurd action, and
provide for what the people want-a
general primary election In which every
voter can vote for the man Of his
choice.
VIII the Committee respect the wishes
Of the people. or do they preparedness
ed in their little brief authority-to over
ride the Democratic party of this city
and strut as petty bosses without con-
stituency?

hard to md suitable investments io'
money. II we had double as much money
In the country as we now have ana the
ownera OF that money became panic
stricken. there would be the same SUM-
gency. Where confidence Is wanting

and that all the nations use as nneuluiii
NJ exchange more or less silver is II not
unwise and suicidal on our part 10 de-
grade and demonetize our own prouac-
tom"
Answer. TO analyze this question ana
answer each one Of it's elements In de-
tail would require more space than we
can give It. We say generally. however
that in our opinion the most 'unwise
and suicidal" thing that we can possibly
do Is to attempt to give by law value
10 silver coins that those coins do not
iutrinsically poss ess. This principle is
eu, ally true of htn, lead wheat, or any
other product Of this country. The gov
eminent should not give 1t an artificial
value.
10th. II our exports are greater than
our imports, would not more gold come
in than goes out Of the country?
Answer. No, not during the time that
foi eigaerD were selling us our securities
to an extent that overbalanced what gold
we received from exports.
nth. Would not the unconditional re-
peal Of the Sherman law increase the
power Of capital7"
Answer. We see no way by which It
would affect the matter one way or an
other. The sole effect Of repeating that
act would be TO make us discontinue the
purchase Of silver bullion with gold coin.
18th. Would not a greater number
Of our people be injured by q gold stand
ard than by a gold and silver standardF
Answer. We cannot admit that any Of
our people would be injured. We con-
slider the true answer to this question
be contained in our answers to the 4th,
9TH, 9th, and 18th.
'13th. In the event that we adopt the
gold standard where wuld we procure
a sufciency of gold to supply the circulat-
ing medium
Answer This question is also answered
in our reply to the 4th, 9TH, 9Th. and
18th. There is an abundance Of gold for
all the demands of money What we
want is freedom IN using our credit,
which the national-bank act now denies
10 us.

COMMITTEE on LIGHT.
The Oil for the Water Gas Does Not come
Up TO the Contract.

The Oil for the Water Gas Does Not come
Up TO the Contract.
The monthly meeting Of the Committee
on Lights was held at the superintendent
Office at the upper gas works last evening.
Chairman Gum and Messrs. Davis,
Grimes, Mann and Taylor were present.
The report Of Superintendent Adams was
read. showing that during the last month
900 cubic feet Of gas was made and
II 79S 030 cubic feet of gas was consumed
against 1917, 200 cubic feet Of gas made
during the month of August last year
and 10T9,S99 cubic feet OF gas consumed.
The receipts for coke last month amounted
to sl,40S.00 against $l,49717 in the same
period last year.
Tho resolution from the Common Coun-
ell was taken up. which provides that
no more coke be disposed OF until April
list. 1894, except what is purchased by or
for the poor on motion Of Mr.. Grimes
the resolution was laid on the table
The subcommittee consisting Of Messrs.
George b. Davis and Hardwicke. was
given additional time 10 confer with the
Board Of Fire Commissioners, the Chief
Engineer and the Superintendent Of Fire
Alarm in regard TO questions as TO the
control Of the electric current during ID
progress Of a re. The delay had been
caused by the absence Of Chief Fuller
and Superintendent Thompson, who have
been out Of town.
A petition Vas presented from the
Rosemary Library asking for the free
use Of gas for that institution. The
committee decided to recommend to the
Council the granting OF the request.
A bill Of Mr. Thomas Barrys for extra
work done in connection with the laying
Of the twenty-fou--inch gas main was
laid upon the table until the next meeting,
when Mr.. Barry will be invited 10 be
present to explain the bill.
Superintendent Adams reported that the
oil provided by Mr.. Charles a. Nicholas
did not come up to the standard. stipu-
lated in the contract, which called for
nauhtha OF from GS to Y degrees. while
he has recently sent oil OF from a. to A
degrees.
Mr.. Davis moved that the contractor be
held up TO the terms Of the contract as
to the gravity Of the oil. The motion was
carried.
Mr.. Taylor moved that the supcrinten-
dent be instructed hereafter to reject all
naphtha that did not have the required
gravity from 6S to p degrees.
Mr. Grimes offered as a substitute that
the superintendent be Instructed TO tele-
btApH VIC CONTRACTOR mat tilr committee
had authorized him 10 buy oil elsewhere
at his expense, II the oil furnished by
him does not comply with the provisions
OF the contract The substitute was car
ricd, Mr. Taylor alone voting against It.
The bill for Mr. Nicholas for 1921 gallons
Of oil already furnished, amounting TO
$3.50. was ordered 10 be paid with the
proper correction for the lack Of gravity
Of the oil. A substitute offered by Mr..
Mann was previously lost, which provided
