Women Cannot Vote.

Attorney General Moloney has rem
dercd an adverse opinion upon the
legality Of women voting for trustees
of the University of Illinois at Cham
paign. Catherine Waugh McCul-
loch. of Chicago, who some time
since requested an opinion from the
attorney general on the question, has
been favored with n reply from that
official. Mr.. Moloney says that the
law giving the right OF suffrage to
women in the election OF officers for
positions in the government of
schools does not apply to the state
university. The trustees Of that i'm
portant institution are not officers of
the public schools. They are. saws
the attorney general, to be classed in
the same list as other officers of the
state of Illinois, from the governor
down, and rs women are given no
suffrage in the election of such Off
GERS they cannot be permitted TO
vote for the trustees.
1t is understood that the attorney
general says that the act Of 81 by
which women suffrage is permitted in
school elections cannot be extended
To universities; and that any such
extension would be what is called
"iudge-made law" The institution
Mt Champaign is university or COL
lcgc; and n college or university cam
not come under the scope of any law
which is framed for the government
or regulations Of schools only. The
attorney general. in this. his defini-
tion Of the difference between o col
lege or university and school, is
guided, so it is said, by the simple
definitions of the two words in Web
ster's dictionary. n the law be ex-
tended To universities under the wing
OF the state il may be also extended
to institutions which were nv no
means contemplated by the trainers
OF the act Of 81 and are not ut all
concerned in the statute.
The election by popular vote of
the trustees of the State university
is n comparatively recent custom.
The rule had always been for the
governor to appoint them. In 1856
the Chicago club OF the Illinois uni
versity, believing it better for the
general good Of their educational
mother. put their heads together and
meditated n change. The result of
this conference was the drawing up
of measure. which was aftcrward
passed through the general assembly,
throwing the choice Of the trustees
on the general vote of the people.
Mr.. Moloney's opinion is an import
ant one, inasmuch rs IL goes far to
curtail the woman's suffrage move.
ment in this state. The attempt to
include the State university in the
school suffrage law was. it is said,
nm entering wedge whereby the
prejudice would have been opened.
1t Is bound to attract attention in
other states and call forth comment
from womcn's leaders all over the
country.

posed Solution.
PLAN OF SELECTING A COMMITTEE.

Calculated to Get the Best Matcrial-A
Currency Issued by National Banks and
Guaranteed by the Govcrnment-At-
tempt to Cut Things Short ON the Wool
Schedule Fails.
WASHINGTON, June 14-Walker of Mas
sachusetts, a voter an member Of the COM
mittee on banking and the senior men,
Der of the committee, says the question Of
banking and currency-about to be ma
tured into a comprehensive system by a
select committee of five members, under
a recent vote of the banking committee
is the most important subject before con-
gress, not second to the tariff. Sealed bal
lots are now being filed for the purpose
of selecting the committee of five.
Novel Plan of Selection.
Each member of the banking committee
names five Of his associates on the COM
mittee. The seals will be broken Friday
and five members having the largest mum.
Der of votes will constitute the select COM
mittee. Mr.. Walker has urged that no
votes be given to himself or to Messrs.
Springer, Warner or Spcrry, as each Of
them has a banking bill, to which they
naturally would be inclined. The entire
purpose of forming the select committee
Is to break away from the present bills
and to get up n broad banking system
with such good features of all bills as may
recommend themselves.
The General Idea Proposed.
The committee of five will sit contin-
uously, with view of reporting their
work to the house by June 81 The pro-
posed system will be in the direction of
national currency and national banking,
and away from state banking. and based
on gold and silver instead of bonds. The
general desire Is to create system of ma
,lohai banks which shall proceed along
iihes parallel TO the present national
banks. The latter Will be merged grad
uaiiy into the new system. AS their char
tiers expire they viii be given charters I'M
DER the new banking system.

ON the Wool Schedule.

Republicans Decline Fivc-,Iinute Rulc
ON the Wool Schedule.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-When the SEN
ate adjourned last night an attempt was
made to secure an agreement to the FIVE
minute rule on the wooden schedule, but this
was refused because several senators desired
to make more extended speeches. Harris
did not press the subject of night session.
because the Democrats still hoped that an
agreement might be had to put through
the wooden schedule just as the cotton
schedule was adopted. The Republican
senators have asked that certain increases
be made all along the line of wooden sched-
ules.
The requests have been rejected in part
but certain concessions have been offered
which may be accepted, and the indica-
tons are very strong that these will be
made on some of the paragraphs, at least
including those providing for duty ON
women's and children's dress goods, coat
Innings, Italian cloth and bunting on
ready made clothing and on wool and
worsted yarns. The probabilities are that
on women's and childrcn's goods and
other articles included in the same para
graph the dividing line will be changed
from 81 to 10 cents and made to read SO
that goods of this class valued at not over
90 cents shall pay duty of 80 per cent. nd
valorem instead of 40 as in the present
law.
In one paragraph relating to ready made
clothing the present bill provides for n
uniform ad valorem rate of As per cent. 1t
is proposed to increase this to 30 per cent.
on these goods where they are valued at
more than Sl.50 per pound, leaving the
rate mt a per cent. on goods of this class
OF less value. A similar change is to be
made on WOODEN and worsted yarns ON
which as the bill stands an ad valorem
duty Of 30 per cent. is provided.
These changes have been advocated by
n large number Of manufacturers who now
have delegation here consisting of
Messrs. Stanton, Owens and Bramhall,
and while the committee has not abso-
lutely decided upon making them all the
