son on earth why every avenue of respon-
sibility and of duty should not be opened
TO women on the same terms to men.
Slngulafly enough they protest emphatlcaI-
ly against the general order of the KAN
sas City police sending women to the stone
pie; ana are especially loud in their de-
nunclatlons OF the heartless monsters VINO
would compel the feminine convict to wear
overalls when at work
Logically the Kansas police department
has the best of the argument and the new
woman has not really-if. in view of the
overalls we may be permitted the express
sion-an argumentatiVe leg to stand on.
Yet we are compelled to admit that we are
old-fashloned enough to sympathlze with
their protest. Breaking stone does not seem
to be womanly work, even when the Wom-
an is convict We have seen the free
women Of Italy doing it in their native
country, sitting on the ground and cracking
the stone IN their laps and it has always
seemed extremely unwomanly, especially
when the probable husband was abroad in
the land with a pipe and a hurdy-gurdy.
The oVeralls, too, aggraVate the case. They
are not becoming even to a male convict,
must be even less so. The whole order IN
deed seems to the Free Press an under
straining of the equality principle. no mat
ter how detenslble II may be-and undouDt-
eddy is-in theory
1t will be humiliating, no doubt, for the
Kansas city police department to recall us
order under fire, so to speak, and to yield
TO the illogical demand of the new woman.
We trust, nevertheless, that the depart
ment viii pocket its pride and yield. There
surely must be SOMETHING that the women
prisoners can do which is less back-break-
ing than stOne-breaking and quite as re-
muneratiVe; and on esthetic grounds alone
they can well afford TO rescind the overalls
part of the order. The new woman may
possibly triumph in her heartlessness or in
the language of the wicked crow over
the department; but the consciousness OF a
Virtuous act wisely done should be suffi-
cient to assauge the pangs occasioned by
such demonstration

QUIET DAY IN SENATE
CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF THE
UNION PACIFIC PROPOSAL.
Congressman johnson Will Leave
Washington to Regain His Health
After Haughey's Pardon.

WASHINGTON, July 19-The day in the
Senate was principally devoted to a dis
cussion of Mr.. Harris's resolution relating
to the Union Pacific Railroad. Mr. Nor
gan, of Alabama, concluded his remarks in
favor of the resolution and Mr.. Stewart
spoke in opposition to it. Mr.. Thurston, of
Nebraska was speaking in opposition when
at o'clock p. m. the Senate went into
executive session and shortly thereafter
adjourned. He reviewed the history of the
construction of the road, contending that
it was a patriotic effort and not a scheme
to rob the government. Mr.. Harris in ref
utation of this. called attention TO President
CleVeland's structures on the Union Pacific
management in his message of Jan. II, 1888.
MIR. Stewart said he did not wish TO eH-
onerate the company from payment OF just
dues to the government, but objected to
their being regarded as criminals. He de-
sired to have the whole matter closed. The
resolution under consideration would ac-
complish no purpose.
Mr.. ThurSton then spoke in opposition to
the resolution. He contended that the gov
eminent had already risked enough money
in this investment; that without CHANGING
any further expenditure it should proceed
in the ordinary legal methods through the
courts of the country to enforce its legal
rights whatever they might be, to secure
repayment of all its dues on whatever prop
erty the court shall find justly subject
thereto. The proposition before the Senate,
he said, stripped of technicalities, SIM
ply to invest another $4,000 900 and take
the chance of getting it back on the ulti-
mate sale of the road.
AT D o clock an executive session was held,
and then adjournment was had.

Public Drinking and Morality.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
l have had my say in reference to public
drinking and I have no desire to say any
thing more upon that particular point. But
now cones Rev. Mr.. Hunter, and says:
Il know of nothing more immodest than
for some agnOStic and beer-drlnklng Tor
eigner TO assume that this country is run
for the promotion OF his ideas This is
Christian country, where sobrlety, law ana
order will and must obtain, so help US
God"
OF course I do not know whether Mr.
Hunter had reference to me personally.
But whether or not, being an agnostic
drinking beer, being born in foreign
country and having come TO this country
only thirty-two years ago. l must presume
that he had reference to me, at least as
one belonging to that class of immodest
people. l will not quarrel with him for
considering me immodest. If it gives him
pleasure, very well. 1 never begrudge any
mans pleasure. His talk about foreigners
and their immodesty is not exactly new,
much less is it original with Mr.. Hunter.
But we cannot expect original ideas from
everybody.
The most arrogant class of people are
those who assume TO dictate, or make 1t
their business to dictate, to others what
their morals shall be Fortunately, men
do not depend upon them to know what Is
moral and what not. That class is always
sense of moderate. slow, careful, but in the
sense of intending to preserve, to con
serve to make opposition to everything
new. Those arrogant people cannot see
| that there is not and never has been an
! absolute standard of morality but that the
| conception of morality and the laws Of
! morality are subject to change and eVolu-
| ton like everything else in this world. And
| this evolutionary process is stronger and
! has much more effect than millions of SER
! mons. 1t gives everyone the power to know

The moral sense of to-day would revolt

1t is not by way of criticism but merely

order recently issued by the police depart
ment of Kansas City recognizing the COM

Germs the prisoners under its control Here
tofore it has been the custom to discrim-
mate between the sexes, awarding TO the
male prisoners one kind of employment
while the women were expected TO work
at something different Now the depart
ment has decided that this discrimination
shall no longer be made. The men in
prison are required to labor at the stone
pile preparing that refractory substance
for use in matchmaking the streets. JUS
tice to women, the department declares,
requires that she also should break stone
while in prison; and she, too, has been
ordered to the rock pile. The department
proposes, indeed, to wipe out all dstinc-
tion between the prisoners so far as ap-
pearances are concerned. Substantially the
coarse overalls-are to be provided for men
and women alike; and the latter are, so
far as can be effected, to be put upon
terms of precise equality with men.

such a recognition of equality would glad

Communications.

CONSTANTINOPLE July 19--The en-
bassadors have informed the Porte that
they wish written declaration as 20 the
intentions of the Turkish government
which have hitherto been communicated
orally by Tewfik Pasha. The ambassadors
have stated that if this is not forthcoming
they will suspend the peace negotiations
and refer the whole matter to their 1e-
spective governments with a view of
adopting coercive measures. The terms Of
the Turkish government as submitted to
the ambassadors by Tewfik Pasha on Sat-
urday not only proposed a change of iron
tier, but fixed the amount of indemnity at
four and one-haf million pounds Turkish
and renewed the demand for abolition Of
the capitulations granted the Greek SUBJ
jects in the Ottoman empire. This IS re-
garded as clear proof that the ambassadors
of the powers will be unable to effect any
thing by mere diplomatic negotiations.
Emperor Nicholas has telegraphed the
Sultan demanding immediate evacuation of
Thessaly and threatening that otherwise
Russian troops will cross the Turkish from
tier. 1t is said here semi-off1cially to day
that all the powers except Great britain
have consented to this course.

in trades unions. In my opinion strikes
have never been so successful in this coun-
try as in England, because the many off
fertnt n&tionalites made Ii impossible for
the workers to be held together as closely.
In England they are all of one race and
1t was natural that they should display
more loyalty TO each other than here, where
there are many races with numerous race
antipathies. Religion has been another oc-
casion for laboring people falling to hold
together in this country, too. In England
people are religious. but they do not carry
religion into their business. Here there are
numerous opposing societies of different re-
hgions, and no matter what effort may be
taken to prevent the cropping out of the
hatreds which they have engendered in
movements for the Improvement of the
working peoples condition, they are almost
certain to appear and work mischief in any
movement which embraces a large number
of people.

prisoned banker. He paid Attorney General
McKenna a visit this afternoon, presented
his petition and made an argument in be-
half of the prisoner The burden of his APP
peal was that Haughey had been punished
enough, that he had served three full years
out of the five years sentence, and that
the sentiment of the community in which
he had lived for a half century favored
mercy. He set forth that Mr.. Haughey was
very old and feeble, and that he had been
more sinned against than SHINING in the

victed. Mr.. Duncan will call on the Pres-

that time work has almost been totally

company required them to square up be-

rumors have been circulated to the effect
that Alum Cave was still working, but
miners from the above mine say the report
circulated was false; that the miners were
still idle. The runner from the Cave said
if the company would pay the price de-
manded the miners would return to work
at once. A few miners were working at
