all she can to keep up the spirits and hopes OF
her associates. Susan B. has enlisted for the
campaign, and more than that. 1t is under
stood that she has a young female relative,

Whether the sterner sex like it or not, fe-
male suffrage, we believe, will in time be-
come an accomplished fact. 1t ia not. how
ever, within the range Of probability that the
right or the privilege according to the stand
point from which we view it) will ever be
granted because Of the importantly Of the
leaders in this movement, except 50 far as
they are able to bring under their standard q
large body Of women who would consider
themselves benefited by the suffrage. And we
believe it is fact that at the present time not
a very large minority, even. OF the women OF
this country desire the privilege Of voting.
It may be depended upon, however, that
when the intelligent home-making women OF
the United States make up their minds that
they really want to vote they will vote, "and
that's all about it."
But the constitutional convention OF New
York is not likely to insert a female suffrage
plank in the new constitution, and II they
should it will not be adopted, however much
earnest and conscientious people may believe
and hope and pray for such consummation.

THE SYMPATHETIC POST.

When public man makes business OF SYM
pathizng with labor 1t is time for labor to watch
him-Post
What inference is to be drawn from this
statement? That statesman should sympa-
thize with labor occasionally-say just before
election? In our plebeian ignorance We had
supposed that the force which has created
everything classed under the head Of civiliza-
ton, which has made all values and has
handed them over to capital, reservins barely
a living share, is always entitled to sympathy.
1t often makes mistakes; 1t is not always
clear in its demands; it often submits condi-
tions without the accompanying theories to
correct them; its petitions are sometimes con-
Trajectory, inconclusive, or absurd. But In
all these efforts for a readjustment whereby
It shall enjoy just share Of the values 1t has
created. 1t has the earnest and enduring sym
pathy of The TIMES. 1t sometimes has the
intermittent attention Of a few Of these public
men-and it remembers these small favors
gratefully-but the sympathy OF the Post and
its ideal statesmen, never.
When newspapers and public men make
regular business of denouncing labor, it is
time for labor 10 watch them.

NOW THE ACCEPTED TIME.

While the House Committee on Appropria-
tions is waiting for the decision OF the First
Controller as to the authority of the Public
Printer to pay to discharged employees OF the
Government Printing Ofiice the leaves OF abb
sence earned during the present fiscal year. 1t
might be well for somebody-the Committee on
Printing or, may be, the Committee on Labor
to inquire by what species OF jugglery the an
nual leave of thirty days. granted by Congress
in accordance with the act of August, 1888,
has been scaled down to twenty-six.
Public Printer Benedict appeared before
the Appropriations Committee recently, and
stated that under his construction OF the law
each employe was entitled to two and one
half days leave per month, which would
make thirty for the year. During his former
incumbency of the Office he allowed the full
fifteen days, which was then the rule, and
where a national holiday intervened the time
was extended day. When an employe re-
signed or was discharged, leave up to date
was allowed; and when death claimed one OF
the number, his heirs were paid the full
amount.
All tnlS was cuaNgeu, however, ny tuc uc-
cisions OF First Controller Matthews and
Judge Mott of the Court of Claims. rendered
during the first year Of the administration OF
Mr.. Palmer. Judge Mott decided good
many things that were not referred to him.
In fact, he created an entirely new law. By
that decision the leave of absence was
gratuity, not a right, to be granted or with
held at the pleasure of the Public Printer. A
discharged employe had no claim, and one
who resigned, having severed his connection
with the office, had no legal status. The
same rule prevailed in case of death.
In the interest of the Public Printer and for
the protection OF the people employed in the
great government workshop, these matters
ought to be all definitely and specifically set
tied now.
That the claim OF those recently discharged
is just one no person examining the laws OF
1886 and 1888 will for q moment doubt, and
Congress should act promptly and make the
necessary appropriation.

John C. EQUK.

THE TIMES prints special dispatch this
morning from Knoxville, Tenn, which gives
an account of the condition of politics in that
district Hon. John @. Houk, the sitting
member, is being antagonized by a boltiag
candidate. The district is Republican by a
large majority, and the national committee Of
that party have decided that Mr.. Houk is the
regular nominee.
Outside of Congressional circles Mr.. Houk
is well and favorably known at the national
capital. His long residence here while his
late father Hon. Leonidas Houk represented
the same district, has gained for him wide
acquaintance and numerous strong personal
friends In the House he is one Of the most
popular of the younger members, and is reg
uIar in his attendance at the sessions of the
BODY.
Mr. Houk is member of the Committee
o. Post Offices and Post Roads, and is gener-
aiiy found in his seat at the semi-weekly
meetings, and is well versed in the business
byioro the committee. This committee has
sayeEal more than ordinarily important meas
s..es before it at this time. The bills for gov
oTnmcntal ownership and control of the tele-
arGph head the list, and their supporters
hayo always found Mr.. Houk ready and will
Ing 10 accord them fair hearing.
Ii is thought that the Democrats will not
make nomination.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The woman sufrragists of New York have
been at work on the members of the constitu-
tional convention with all their persuasive
ness but grave doubts are entertained of their
success. However, they are used to disap-
pointments; and if not successful now, they
can console themselves with the thought that
time is long and conventions are fleeting.
There will be conventions and conventions
after the present agitators have made way for
the "sweet girl graduate" and new names
shall have been inscribed on the roll Of those
who would shape the policy of states and
make nations happy.
Mary Pullman jacob and Lille Devereaux
Blake were the first to argue the cause of po-
litical equality, but the men are not convinced
President Choate gave the suffragIsts one
fourth the membership Of the committee
on suffrage, and it is estimated that this quite
accurately represents the strength of the
movement in the convention. What the anti
suffragists fear, however, is that there may
be some sort of q compromise, such as that OF
An educational OF property qualification.

DECAY OF SENATORIAL COURTESY.

A. D. Tinsley, the story Of whose candi-
dacy for the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, post
office, promises to develop into hero-the
first man to carry his banner through the ser
ried ranks of Senatorial courtesy" That
ridiculous relic of the past comes down from
the time when one Senator told his colleagues
that he did not wish to be compelled to re-
ceive his mail from the hands Of Q personal
enemy, and ever since the Senate has refused
to confirm the appointment of a postmaster
at the Senator's home town il the appointee
was, for any reason, objected to by the Sem
ator interested.
The Senate has none too good hold upon
the hearts of the American people. The
elections by state legislatures have too often
been contests between railroads, in which the
money-bag alone tipped the scale. 1t is none
too soon for the Senate to get down from its
high horse and walk like common people.

Where Time Skips a Day.

"There is small island in the South
Pacific" said John L. Davis. q veteran sea
captain, the other day. "where there only ap-
pears to be six days in the week. This extra
ordinary phenomenon is brought about by
the location of the island. Travellers around
the world are acquainted with the fact that
time is lost while travelling east and gained
while travelling west, the difference of time
in the transatlantic journey alone being about
four hours.
81 had to run into Chatham island once
when disabled, and was amused to see the
way in which the people accepted their fate
in regard to the jumping of time. This little
island is just on the line of demarcation be-
tween times and dates. In order to keep
right with the remainder OF the world, it is
necessary to skip from noon on Sunday to
noon on Monday every week in the year;
hence the joke that it is possible to spend a
whole day at dinner without eating an aver
age meal The island is so near the antarctic
region that days and nights are altogether
mixed up from tho idea Of an ordinary indi-
vidual; but this plan of jumping the afternoon
of one day and the morning OF the next 30 as

There were two brothers fought at Roanoke
Shoulder to shoulder through that 1ery hell,
That storm of shot and bali and bursting shell,
Fought as heroes, till ono brother fell
Dead In the swamp, his shroud the battle-smoke.
Now, every year fair children deck the grave
OF him who died their countrys life to save,
And mothers weep, and fathers call him brave
In was hero fell at Roanoke!
The other one who fought at Roanoke
Lived on, by chance Is living still to-day
Old and unknown, bent, beggared, crippled,

And children mock him in their thoughtless

And Yet, God knows, the living was as brave
As he who fell that day at Roanoke
