Important business srrands. she cannot enter any

like a man can. and does. neither can you get the
same courtesy from q woman employee In an

position. and when woman attempts to MI q

Man does not and cannot have the respect for q
woman IN a mans position that he has for the
truc and womanly woman. Walter Besant In
taking the statistics OF Albany on this subject
says he found II. 100 young women fiiins 100
mems positions, which represented I,iOo young
men driven to the West BY these women, and
LOO homes that are lost to that city forever"
Manly WOMEN have caused this. and they. In

CHOOSING THEIR MEN.

There has been a sharp fight between
two great Republican leaders In this
State, DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew and
Thomas c. Plat, over the selection by
Speaker Malby Of a Chairman for the
Railroad Committee OF the Assembly.
The accepted report is that DR.. Depew
has won and that the Vanderbilt man
will carry of the prize. $50
Just where the interests Of the rail-
road masnate n the express magnate
clash in the control of a legislative rail-
road committee. the lobby expert in such
matters can best explain. But 1t is
quite certain that a chairman selected
by DIR. Depew would be In fact the
whole committee and would make legisla-
ton pleasant for the Vanderbilt cor
porations during the present session.
But the question suggests itself, what
will become Of the peoples interest in
important railroad measures? How will
the public be served II questions of the
protection of human life on railroads, or
OF restrictions on ~monopolies. or of any
other important matters, are TO be left
by the corporations themselves?

powerful corporations besides those at
the Grand Central Depot have been
allowed to express their views on com

Objectionable. 1t Is no encouragement
to idleness. 1t Is simply giving food
means to procure It. In n respect II Is
a very desirable method Of dispensing

OF begging for something to eat. 1t is
less likely to encourage imposition than
almost any other mode of relief, because
no one who Is not really hungry will APP
