The Number of Women Discharged Ats
tracing Attention.


Washington, September 19-The large
number of women CLERKS dismissed outright
in the treasury department during the
past few days has attracted considerable
attention here. 1t is said to mark a new
policy in treasury appointments in the flu
ture. OF the clerks so far discharged fully
five-SiXthS have been women clerks of the
high-saIaried grades. The vacancies cre-
ated by the discharge of the women will
be filled by the appointment or promotion
of men to the places The flood tide OF
women clerks in the treasury department.
has been reached and henceforth, it il
said, men will usually be appointed to the
higher places. Some divisions are said to
be seriously crippled from the heavy pre-
ponderance of women clerks. and in some
rooms where the ledgers are very heavy
they have TO be lifted into place and shift
ed as occasion requires by the men in the
office AS a rule, it is said. the women
clerks are absent on account of sickness
much more than men clerks, which has a
potent influence in causing the change OF
policy as to appointments now being inau-
gurated.
Orders have been issued to hurry this

When Mr.. Kyle declared in the opera
house the other night that he was anXl-
Gus to strike blow at American manu-
tacturers, it must have made the ears OF
every true American ungle with shame :
He denounced American made goods as
shoddy, shoddy, shoddy, and inferred
that only England could furnish good
honest goods. Mr.. kyles Amerlcanlsm
is of the shoddy kind, when he is we'll
aware that England from whom he IS SO
anxious to get his wool goods, is the
great home of shoddy manufacture, its
mills and their product far exceeding If
number aud amount tia. OF this country.
Here is what the National Association Of
Wool Manufacturers said of this fact in
Memorial to congress:
There were in Great Britain IN 1889
(see official returns under the " Factor
les and workshops act'') 125 shoddy mills,
employing 45O3 persons, as compared
with the 2266 person employed in our 93
snoddy mills in 1890 No official return
is made of the product OF these mills,
but from other data accessible it is esll-
mated to exceed by four times the total
consumption Of all the woolen mills OF
the United States.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1894-10-12

Senator Kyle IN his speech last week
stated that because of the finer qualities
of foreign wool the manufacturer had TO
have it to mix with the poorer American
wool. The trouble with Kyle is he has
Anglophobia, and everything that is not
English, you know, is trashy yo. know
But here is what the American consul
IN Australia says in his official report:
There seems to be a general lmpres-
sion bere that American woods are not
equal in strength, tineness and lusJer to
those grown in Australia, and especially
in Western Victoria and the Riverna
district. "rhe samples or American
woods, and especially those grown in the
State OF OHIO, sent to the Melbourne ln-
ternational Exhipltion, did much to re-
move the false impression in regard to
American 1ooIs. These samples We're
admitted by experts to be far superior to
anything OF the kind ever grown IN these
colonies REPORT of Z. S. Consul from
Sydney, New South Wales.
