The Progress of Woman.

In all that goes to ameliorate the
conditions of the human family,
morally, socially, politically, or in a
material way, no century of which we
have any record, shines so conspicu-
ously as the present. Within the past
hundred years the republics of France
and the United States have been born;
absolute monarchies have been(except
that of Russia) gradually hedged in,
and their powers decreased; the slave
trade has been made piracy, serfs
emancipated in Russia, and slavery
wiped out in our own country. The
telegraph and railroad with their
civllizing influences, are children of
this century. The great benevolent
and fraternal movements have attain
ed their greatest force in our day. In
our age, too. has begun the emsncipa
ton of woman from the prejudices
which limited her scope of occupation
and her right to complete education.
She is now in all kinds of business and
professions, and the most splendid
schools have been founded for the
benefit of her sex, Political equality
has in many places, too, been conferred
upon her. The luxuriousness of mod
ern travel, also, is largely due to the
feeling that nothing is too good or too
dainty for women. This it is which
has led to the sumptuousness of the
sleeping and parlor cars operated on
most lines of railroad. In the manage
ment of the elegant compartment
sleeping cars in service on the Burling-
ton between st. Paul and Minneapolis
and Chicago, a new departure has
been taken-two compartments are
absolutely reserved for the exclusive
use of ladies. What a convenience it
is for ladies travelling without escort
or in charge of children, to have one of
these cosy boudoirs for their sole use,
must be tried to be appreciated.
Tickets via this line may be had from
any coupon ticket agent, and sleeper
accommodations reserved in advance.

The New Yoik sun Dem does not
have even one drop of the milk of
human kindness in its bosom. 1t says:
"A great student and expounder of
the Constitution, when referring to
recent experience, remarked that
during all history nothing has shown
the wisdom of the trainers of the
government more clearly than the
Senate action of late. The trainers
of the Constitution said he, appear
to have foreseen the possibility that a
Grover Cleveland might occupy the
Executive office, and the Importance of
providing suitable restraints on
him..

Total cash in TT easury s7e5, 474, so.


Now how can these certificates
representing an aggregate of six
hundred million dollars be accounted
as cash. Because these certificates
certify that there is that amount OF
gold and silver either in coin or bull
! non in the vaults of the treasury and
these certificates circulate as medium
of exchange simply on account OF
their convenience. This gold and
eagles and dollars at the national con.
venience or emergency. These certifi-
Gates do not read promise to pay"
Here is a treasury note: THE United
states will pay one dollar in coin :"
| The certificate is receipt for one
dollar and that one dollar waits in the
treasury for the return OF the receipt.
Here is a silver certificate: "Ihis
certifies that there have been deposit
ed III the Treasury of the u. S. Flee
Silrer Dollars. That explains itself
SO plainly that the uniformed need
not be deceived.
What effect does it have as to the
financial status of the United States if
you place it as debt when the money
is there to pay the debt, the account
is balanced when you add 500, 900 900
To the debt and offset it with the cash.
There is no fiat about that gold and
silver.
ia 1885 the aggregate debt OF the
| nation less cash on hand was $2.756,-
43l, 81. Comparing this with the
| present indebtedness We find that the
United States has paid since that date
mure than two thousand millions of
principal of the debt besides the enor-
nous interest of more than one
hundred millions year. The debt
can increase only by law. The bonds
and legal tender notes represent the
debt. No bonds or legal tender notes
can be issued except in accordance
with laws enacted by congress. Is it
right to call this enormous issue of
certificates representing gold and
silver on hand purchased by the
government and put into circulation
as money debt in. anything like the
sense in which the bonds constitute
debit If you call this debt you du.
plicate the amount of debt represented
by this sum, inasmuch as the govern
ment bought this gold and silver in
open market and paid for it, increas-
ing the debt by the amount paid.
Would you call both the sum paid and
the amount receired debt. like the
merchant who bought the hog of the
farmer and charged him with it!
But to revert to our original state
ment which we repeat and emphasize:
1.-The Harrison administration paid
off in round numbers 1896 100000 of
the national debt" This statement
we verified by the figures in the Report
of the U. 5. Treasurer; if his figures
he, prove it.

found:
When crown falls in any kingdom

it departs forever, and American

no matter how virtuous and sincere

at Georgetown, Colorado, calls upon
the silver producing states to secede
from the general government and join
the republic of Mexico. Mayor
Parker, whose name heads the petit

What the British Government Has Done.

Moreton Frewen, editor of the LOn- don Economist. in an article in the December, 1893, number of the Nation al Review, published in London. on the silver question tells the British government what it has done substan- tially as follows; "The fall of prices can only be charged to the contrac- ton of money. and Illustrating it by the total yield and average price of wheat for the past three years, as fol- lows: In 1891 the quantity produced was 304, 100000 bushels and the aver age price was II shillings and B pence: in 1892. 300. 100, ,OO0 bushels and the av- craze price was % shillings and pence; in 1893, 2SS, 100000 bushels and the price was 25 shilingS and pence. Here is q fall of 70 per cent in the price and per cent decrease in pro- ductiOn, notwithstanding the large increase in population. We English have destroyed our landed interest, isolated ourselves from the effective demand of 700.000,OO0 of our best GUS toners by reducing the exchangeable value of their money We have crip- pied the United States so that her eN- port trade is proiitless: and, therefore, in America as we'll as in Australia ard the continent of Europe, the sum rep resented byour investments is in great peril from the prospective insolvency of debtors The evil of shrinking prices legislated currency contraction admits only of legislative redress. and failing in this increasing leauness seems to be the melancholy conclusion of the nineteenth century National View

Quite an important decision was rendered by Judge lIallett, of. the United States court at Denver, in re- lation to closing or fencing up govern ment land. The Camheld--Dewey tract near Greeley embraces every al- ternate section of land in a certain township. The owners of the sections caused reservoir to be constructed to water the lands, and then enclosed with substantial fence the whole township, building the fence in such a way that not post was on govern ment land. yet 2O.00O acres were en- closed. Judge Hallett decided that the plea of utilizing the land cannot be brought question: that govern ment land must not be enclosed, and that the land in controversy must be opened up to public use.
