we expect you to spur the White Elephant
on to renewed effort.

To the Daily LIGHT:
Your evening contemporary is very out

declares to support no man from cOnSta-
BILE to governor, who endorses President
Cleveland or his administration. and the
only thing that astOniShes me is that it
does not. gn,further and a!So.declare that II
will vote for mo man or set of men, who,
having seen the evil effects of one reign
of HOggism, insisted on giving us a
double dose. For my part, and am not
alone on this position, | can assert that |
will vote for no man or set OF men who
helped to curse Texas with the second
term of Governor Hogg.
Rings may be welted, combinations
formed, treaties entered into, or strata
gems resOrted to, to make US forget the
enemies of Texas, who have given us a
second term of a governor that drives
away capital from our state and instead
invites the tramp and vagrant to war up
on our resources, to the detriment Of our
own deserving poor.

again on the governors neck, and do it
Soberly, his speech now would not be so

1t used to be said we must have the
Mexican vote in all elections; the last
municipal election in the City of San An
tonic showed that the MeXiCans are get
ting to be better citizens, that they can
divide on men and measures, but even had
they voted a solid vote against the
winning ticket 1t could not have eff

Women as Ticket Sellers.

The example OF the Brooklyn elevated
railways in substituting women for men az
ticket agents will very likely be followed In
New York. 1t IL said that, while the ser
vice OF women In the Brooklyn Offices is
cheaper than that OF men. It is not less
efficient or less courteous. The Brooklyn
managers cay that they have taken account
only Of economy and utility.
Women have as good right as men have
to take any kind OF honest work which they
are able to perform. or which they can So
cure. Within few years past. they havo
entered into hundreds Of industries which
had previously been followed by men alone.
and we must suppose that they have found
1t to their advantage to do 80. The un-
numbered inventions Of the age have
opened up new fields OF activity for
them. The overwhelming employment
Of machinery In production has enabled
them to do things which formerly re-
quired such strength as is possessed by
men alone. Even within ten years, there
has been an immense increase In
the number OF women who are ex-
perts in skilled trades. Women clerks
and counter walters have supplanted
men In thousands Of establishments.
wholesale and retail. There are several
thousand feminine typewriters and teIe-
graph operators in the city. Literary
women are turning out books upon all sub
jects. In rivalry with men; women teachers
abound as never before: and we have seen
a long list OF female lecturers. all waiting
to receive orders.
What are the men to do about It ALI In
the first place. they have been able to get
along about as well as usual. during the
ten. twenty. or more years in which women
have been largely superseding them in
many branches OF activity. In the second
place. 1t is beyond the power OF the men to
keep women out OF any industry which
they wish to follow. and In which they
can earn the wages that they need.
The men may as well make up their
minds that this Is solemn fact. Men
will have to turn their attention more
than ever to those industries which they
alone are capable Of pursuing. There are
lots OF things which women cannot do as
well as men. and which must be done by
the stronger sex. Then. again. there are
hordes OF bachelors who. II they were to
marry. as they ought to doJ could very
lspeedily and largely reduce the competition
OF women In the labor market.
We guess that. as the saying goes. things
will adjust themselves hereafter. as things
are always pretty sure to do on this ever
changing old earth.

An Unfair Investigation.

II the Elmira Reformatory is to be inves-
tigated at all. it is of the highest Importance
TO the public that the inquiry shall be con-
Quoted fairly and intelligently. That penal
institution is one OF the most famous In the
world and Its methods of reforming con-
vlcts have furnished models or suggestions
which have been followed In many others.
and have attracted the respectful attention
OF all those who are concerned TO improve
prison discipline SO that 1t shall be not
merely means Of punishment. but moral
and physical education tending to the de-
struction OF criminal habits.
Mr.. BRocKwAY. the Superintendent OF the
Elmira Reformatory. has received the dis
tinguished consideration OF all penologists
here and abroad for many years. as one OF
the most earnest and valuable reformers OF
prison discipline. The criticism OF his
methods made by foreign writer's on the
subject. so far as they h ave been criticised
at all. has been that he sacrifices too much
the primary purpose OF Imprisonment to
his desire for the reformation Of the con-
victs by means Of moral and intellectual ed
ucation and physical training. 1t has been
said of him that he makes prison life
too much like life in a merely educa-
tional institution. His answer to this
has been to point TO the unusually
large proportionate number OF convicts
who are actually reformed under his sys-

diligence; and until the charges against
him were started with merely sensational
purpose he received only honor for his de-
vOtion. except from very few quarters
deserving OF no respect Mr.. BRoCKwAY
has been retained in his place simply be-
cause he was regarded as the one man most
conspieuously fit for it. and those who have
most esteemed his character and his abili-
ties as prison reformer have always been
the men most closely associated with him.
He has directed the Elmira Reformatory

that was often taken in defiance or ig-
