The Thanks of Southern Women.

10 The Editor Of The Evening Star:
In response to the article in The Star of
August 10 1 would state that. the gentle
man who signs himself Northern Gem
tleman" and thinks that he is doing a
j. ST thing in censuring the ladies who
Joined in a vote of thanks to the Presi-
dent for extension of the civil service rules
Is taking rather superficial view of the
matter
L can assure him that not all the ladies
who are In the departments are southern
or were even born In the south Moreover
II by no means follows that being south
crn woman always means a sympatnizer Of
the lost cause" Many southern women.
yes. and men, too, were Obliged to fe!gn
sympathy with the uppermost party in the
south at that time whether they liked il or
not. / can tell Northern Gentleman" that
IL he had been living at the south In '6l
or '62 the chances are that he himself
would in all probability have carried a
musket in Ston. wall Jackson's regiment, or
have ridden out with Morgan.
Many of those southern women who were
either silent or apparently sympat hizers
with the south in those fiery times might
not have done SO If there had been a
choice. But it required courage of no COM
mon order to withstand the sight of homes
laid in ashes. property confiscated and
families scattered. which was the lot of
some who did not swim with the tide.
Again. why should not women Join in
tnankfLlness at the passage OF an order
which gives them daily bread? They can
hardly be blamed for sitting quietly at
their desks (as Northern Gentleman"
slightingly remarks) when they have no
vote. cannot do campaign work and are of
no weight at all in the political world;
moreover, all of their salaries are by no
means so large and munificent as outsiders
would think.
Nor should 1t be forgotten that Northern
Gentleman" and his contemporaries have
Lad more than thirty years to establish
themselves in the government. Moreover
MANY reinstatements have taken place
even as late as the present administration.
L confess cannot see how the impoverish-
mcnt Of southern women would better the
Northern veterans. Their salaries in some
cases do not rise above fifty-five dollars
a month, and I know of one case I'm which
the salary only amounts to three hundred
dollars a year. / doubt IL Northern Gen.
tleman" or any other veteran could buy
houses and support families on that
am a southern woman, born at the
south. and shall always be loyal to the
country nearest my heart. The only
brother I had fought in the Union army,
and l would gladly have given five or six
to that noble cause IL had had them
shall never clap my hands with joy
over the graves of the veterans, as North
ern Gentleman" so mournfully predicts.
But 1 cannot see how they can be benefited
by injustice to a class of whom IL may be
truly said they have to bear the curse of
beth Adam and Eve FAIR PLAY.
