is not very encouraging. It is perhaps too much to expect that the President will abandon the system with which his name and fame are so indissolubly asso- clated, and to the promotion of which he stands pledged, but to the disinterested observer it looks as though an additional tax on beer, whiskey, tobacco and some of the other necessaries of life would be the safest and easiest expedient for meet ing the emergency.
 Incidentally, the attitude of the senate emphasizes the demand that the Consti' tuition should be so amended as to pro- vide for the election of Senators by the vote of the people. The Fathers of the Republic distrusted the capacity of the people for selfgovernment. They en- deavored to deprive them of direct power in selection of the President and Senate. But the great scandals and reproaches of our politics have not come from the immediate suffrages of the constituencies, but rather from the culpable intrigues of interruptions leaders and the venality of corrupt legislators. Experience proves that the widest excesses of popular lib erty are preferable to the dangers of it' denial, however placid and splendid anC gilded the substitute may be.-Exami ner, March 4.

A single type dropped from one of the forms of Pittsburg paper, few days ago, and it cost the paper just 405$. A dry goods firm there advertised special sale of ladies' wrappers at ninety-eight cents. It was the figure that dropped out while the forms were being handled. A tremendous crowd of ladies were at the store early the next morning, some coming shortly after daybreak, to get those wonderfully cheap eight-cent wrap pers. The firm realized that serious error was made, but it kept faith with it's patrons. Every wrapper in the house was sold at big loss, and bill for 405$ was then sent to the newspapers. It paid it without protest.

EDITOR MINER Does not the power of franchise always oeget oppression to the disfran chised?
 Does not the practical working of Civil Service Rules prove that women have no hope of justice in mans representation ? Let them represent her interests with half the eager avidty which marks their devotion to their own, and she will not ask to represent herself. But no matter what her individual distaste to practical life and public responsibility nothing is more apparent to the wide visioned, thoughtful woman than that in a repub- lie the only possibility of obtaining per sonal justice lies in political equality There can be no greater injustice to wo- men than the workings of the Civil Service rules, and there is but one re- dress, that of making her chances of employment under the government equal to that of men. Then if they fail, the failure will be their own; if they succeed. their reward will be equal to that of men.
 The Civil Service Rules seemed to of- fer women workers of the government this redress If education and fitness were to be made the standard alike for women and men, then the reign of ia vorltism and might must end. It sound ed we'll Educated women, yearning for justice, took heart, and the number who pass the competitive intellectual exami. nation is remarkable, but in the face Of these professions of equality for men and women in the public service, the aston ishing fact is that while women pass the highest examination with honor, it IS men, with few exceptions, who are ap- pointed to the highest places. It is a mockery to cry justice and equality when selfishness and might prevail. "You are fools to expect twelve hundred dol lar clerkships because you passed the highest examination" said an appoint ing official to two ladies of far western state. The man who passes his exami- nation can not receive less than twelve hundred dollar clerkshIp. The woman who passes triumphantly the severest test, seldom receives more than a nine hundred dollar position. So many wo- men proved by actual mental examina- tion that they were fully competent to fill the civil offices that officials became alarmed. "They will push men out of the clerkshlps," they exclaimed. Then they fell back as men in power always do, to carry thelr own ends by unjust leg islation They based their decision on an act of congress, which fixed the sal. aries of all women employed by the gov ernment at nine hundred dollars, and no man, no matter how low the labor he performs, be it only as a messenger to run through the halls, is to receive less than twelve hundred per annum. "Four hundred dollars is enough for any wo. man to receive for her york;" exclaimed an accidental potentate, and this one re- mark proved the man who made it too narrow-mlnded and unjust, too pervaded with the selfshness of sex, to be fit to

hold the appointing power over hundreds of women In culture and intellect more than his peers.
 These facts have gleaned from ten years in Washington.
 Now I will point to the workings of this unjust system throughout the entire country in all departments of industry where women seek and obtain employ ment. In almost every instance they are paid less than men, although often performing more and better work than men in the same departments. Why is it that women submits to this cruel in justice? Because the necessity uf self support and often the hunger of her helpless children, compels her to accept whatever is offered, be the sum ever SO inadequate.
 Wome1 are ridiculed for hiding their identity under a masculine nom de plume when writing for the press they resort to this subterfuge to secure an i'm partial opinion from the public, and a l just reward for mental work. This needs no comment I Go not desire oI advo- i cate equal franchise, but I warn you, gentlemen, (who repel with jest and i sheer the woman suffrag;sts' demand to legislate for herself if you would avert this catastrophe of equal franchise, show yourselves capable of just legislat tion and thereby teach the business men of this country to treat with equal justice their woman employees.
 I do not ask for equal suffrage, but do plead for an equal chance with men to earn the means of supporting life and providing for the helpless ones depend ent upon me, and thousands of women are making the same appeal in vain. One woman who received but twenty five dollars per month, where l reside was compelled by sickness to reliDqnish her position. A man was employed tc perform the same work and he demand ed and received forty dollars per month. We could go on with an endless list o cases where this unjust discrimination between mans and woman's work is made, not because her work is not done as we'll, for in thousands of instances it is not only as we'll done as the same work by men, but much better, because woman is more careful, patient anC anxious to give satisfaction to her em ployers It is passing strange" bu nevertheless true, that men who are the most lndulgent and liberal to their owr wives, mothers, daughters and sisters are the hardest and most unjust in theil dealings with their women employees What care they for the weary toieri whose joyless lives, struggling for bare subsistence, are sacrificed to theil service?
 Deal more generously with womer who toll give us an equal chance to live an equal and just reward for our labor and the woman sufragist will cease from troubling your masculine meditatious,
