Members of the Constitutional Convention
 Want to Expedite Business.


 ALBANY, Aug. 9.-The members of the Republican majority of the constitutional convention met in secret session to discuss the problem of how to expedite the busi- ness of the convention. President Choate acted as chairman and briofly detailed the great amount of work yet remaining to be accomplished It would not do he said, to in any way curtail tho right of speech, and yet something must be done to hurry the work along. He believed there should be sessions every day but Sunday.
 Mir Tracey Becker advocated the same. He said that it was n tact that there wcrc very many things brought up for discus sion that should be settled by a vote of a committee. Many other matters that were not pertinent at all to the duties of the convention were brought up Members who were an nxious to get something defi- nite accomplished should not force com mittees to make adverse reports and cause useless discussion on bills.
 Mir. Alvori took exceptions to this. He thought that in some instances adverse reports might be overturned by tho con vention. The remedy lay in having moro and longer sessions. Mir. Root thought that if the committees would make reports on completed sections as amended it might help. He advocated more sessions. Sew eral speakers talked vehemently and were greeted with applause
 Finally after two hours debate 1t was decided that after Aug. 15 the sessions of the convention should be threo each day one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night, and one session each on Monday and Saturday.
 It was further decided that if the de- bate was too lengthy some remedy, such as closure, that would be available to stop debate in the committee of the whole, should bc adopted.

PITTSBUEG, Aug. 9-The adjournment of the Window Glass Manufacturers as- sociation in Chicago after concluding that q general reduction in last years scale would be the proper expedient to meet and offset prospective tariff cuts makes a contest with the workers inevitable if per. sisted in. The window workers officials assert that the men will either go to work at the beginning of the fall fire at the old wages, or the factories will remain idle
 The workers officials expect the wage conference to be called this week. It will be short, they say. The manufacturers will submit their propositions, and the men will refuse them. The local factories are getting ready to resume. no matter what the result of the conference may be.

Is HE A

There is an ominous silence on the
part Of Montana republicans regarding
the condition Of the g. o. p. in the state
Of Nebraska. Yet there is serious trouble
in the camp there. Majors, the candi-
date for governor, wss nominated by a
convention packed by jobbers and this is
the way Editor Rosewater, of the Omaha
Bee, sized him up to the convention:
"You have nominated a man who has
been branded as ar accessory to forgery
and perjury by a republican COMPRESSION
al committee, q nan who stands self con-
victed Of classifying official records and
procuring the issue Of a fraudulent
voucher while acting in the capacity Of
president Of the state senate, a man who
has consorted with boodlers and jobbers
and converted the room of the lieutenant
governor Of the state into a den for de-
%bauchery, a man who has been the
plant tool Of railroads in season and out
Of sso and whose nomination was
procured by the combined influence of
corporate cappers, professional bribe-
givers, jury-fxers and impeached state
house officials"
With such an impeachment Of a re.
publican candidate, in a republican
state, by a republican editor staring
them in the face it is no wonder the
Montana republican press is shrieking
for honest men as candidates in this
state.
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1894-09-07

The attorney general of Illinois is find
ing as many flaws in the Pullman COM
pany charter as it's opponents are finding
in the new tariff bill. The latest move
of the law officer is aproceeding to ascer.
tain under what right or clause the COM
pany engages in the saloon business on
its cars, and speaking Of the case he is
reported as saying Il am determined to
have a decision defining the powers Of
that corporation" To this every fair
minded person in the land will say
The testimony Of both Pullman
and Wickes, as given before the investi-
cation commission demonstrates that
the conduct of affairs, both Of the works
and the town, was indefensible from any
standpoint. They show that in all the
dealing with the employees the company
was more than unjust and that the strike
was the last resort Of men rendered des.
perate by sity. By all means let
the law be invoked to hold the corpora
ton down to the letter Of it's chartered
rights,

A Test of Civilization.

One Of the principal tests by which
we may estimate the degree Of c~iviliza-
ton to which a nation has attained is its
treatment of woman When man WIS
a savage woman was no more than q
companion animal. When he attained
to the stage Of a barbarian and had
enough intelligence to abandon caves
and build for himself a dwelling women
became the household drudg, doing the
heavy labor Of the field also, and being a
chattel, disposable at the pleasure of her
lord and master. Among the Greeks,
the Romans, and the jews her condition
was somewhat improved, but ~polygamy
was lawful. The Teutonic nations
of the nineteenth century have
placed her IN a higher plane, and she is
accorded a respect and Difference that
eAcites the astonishment OF Orientals,
among many Of whom woman is trested
as q being without a mind to he cul-
tivated or q soul to be saved. It 10, how
ever, in our own country that woman has
attained the position OF the beloved and
honored queen. In truth, it may be said
that among the better classes, all things
exist for woman The railroads, GO.
pecially, take every means to provide
Tor her safety and her comfort, and IL she
is travelling alone, great pains are taken
to insure her a pleasant journey In this
respect. 1.-THE Burlington" takes the
