The demand for "Reed's Parliamen-
tary Rules has been sufficient to call
for new edition. In answer to some
inquiries Speaker Reed said: 1.-The sales
of the book have been satisfactory, con-
sidering the fact that it was published
at the beginning of the recent hard
times, and also that its scope and pur-
pose were not generally or well under
stood. A great many persons formed an
idea that it related simply to the rules
and practice Of the house of representa-
tives, whereas it was designed to be and
is treatise on parliamentary law and
practice. That fact, think, is begin
ming to be better understood than it
was. At any rate, have no reason to
complain that the book is not we'll re-
ceived or that the demand for it is not
satisfactory. ."-Excbange.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.

The proposal to make Memorial Day fall
invariably on Sunday is to be acted upon
at the coming national encampment of the
G. A. II. at Buffalo.
To quote the language Of one Of the
workers of this proposed departure:
Memorial Day is rapidly becoming one
for the enjoyment of outdoor sports, ex-
cursions and picnics. 1t is, in fact, be-
coming like an ordinary holiday, and
there Is danger that the true meaning of
the day may be lost. There seems to be
an inconsistency in decorating graves Of a
nations dead and hurrying to a ball game
Or horse trot,"
i. For number of years there has been a
growing feeling among certain elements
in Grand Army circles that the secular
features of Memorial Day were dwarfing
those tender, no less than patriotic,
features which the creation of this beau
tiful festival was designed to foster and
strengthen. Accordingly attempts have
been put forth from time to tipne, to COM
bat these conditions by invoking the law
making power in a number OF states to
pass regulations in restraint of the games
and sports which are reckoned so serious
a detriment to the peculiar observance OF
the day,
Prayed Tor changes in this section of the

N. E. Picotte of the Yukon country,
who was in San Francisco recently,
gave an interesting account of the eff.
forts of pioneers Of that locality to Sc
cure more modern means Of conveyance
into the land Of the splden fleece.
while at Circle City and Forty Mile
last year" says Picotte, "we considered
seriously the possibility Of securing aid
from the Canadian government to build
a railway into this district. We secured
as reliable data as we could and for
warded the same to Ottawa. Finally an
appropriation of $1,000 was passed by
the parliament and surveyors were"or
dered to take the field this year.
''There are two practical routes by
which this country might be reached by
q railway. One of these is from a point
on the Canadian Pacific, the other is
from Dyea. AS far as we were able to
ascertain, neither presents many diff
culties. That from Dyea would be the
shorter for the reason that only some
80 miles of road would have to be built,
the rest of the route to the mines being
by means of the river. OF course, dur
ing the winter season this route would
be closed as far as the river is concern
ed. This road would do away with the
difficulties of Chilkat pass. 1t naturally
would be closer means Of communica-
ton with San Francisco, and for that
reason is not likely to be favored by the
Canadian government.
1.-The other route is about 500 miles
longer, but, being entirely within the
Dominion of Canada. is likely to receive
earnest consideration at the hands OF
the government.

4 REVOL OTION,

The extent of a revolution that has quietly taken place is indicated in the report of Secretary Dewey of the New York State Board of Regents In the three women's colleges proper, Elmira, Vassar and Barnard, the number of students increased in five years S9 per cent, or almost IS per cent, per an- mum. This surpasses the percentage of growth in any other branch of educa- tion in the Empire State. A smaller but none the less significant growth is found in such institutions as the Nor nal College, the Teachers College and Pratt Institute, where the number of women receiving a special or high edu- cation exceeds 5000. In all of the in stitutions of the State the number of women students has passed the mark of 35,000, and is now very close to the total number of men in New York col leges. Fifty years ago the proportion was about 2C0 to 1 in favor of the men. f9olHe oluel figures are equdlIS eloquent. The number of women teachers en- gagged in collegiate education has in creased 61 per cent, and of men only S2 per cent.
 It's hard to get ahead of them and still harder to keep ahead of them. It has just been discovered that of the 122 honor pupils in the grammar schools of Chicago only twenty-five are boys Perhaps by and by it will be discovered that boys are as unfltted for "the high CT education" as girls were once thought to be.

rROUBLE IN oRARLESTON.

There is trouble over the substitu- ton of negro for white labor in the
 Charleston (South Carolina) cotton mills, although the substitution was
 only made after repeated failures to
 operate the mills with white labor. Charleston white workers did not take
 kindly to mill life. at no time furnish ing over five per cent. of the labor re-
 quired and the white operatives ob- tained from other parts of the country did not prove satisfactory. The ne-
 groes are at work, under a contract by the superintendent to make them as skillful and efficient as the white work
 CTS within year. The police are guarding the mills in expectation of violence, and the several hundred dis placed operatives have issued an ad
 dress to the public which contains the following curious and somewhat inco- herent remarks: If the colored mans status precludes him from competing
 with the office-holder it should preclude him from competing with our mothers, wives, sons and daughters in the light pursuits of the country. If, however, his services are of such intrinsic value to the city's industries that he must be put in dangerous proximity with our
 maidens or they be deprived of oppor- tunities for his benefit, what consistent | reason can be assigned for excluding him from office positions? If we loved our race less, and, like money-glutted foreigners and southern apostates, in l clined to degrade Caucasian blood, we
 would cheerfully support them for of | flee. We affirm by all our physical
 powers and brave hearts not to sit su- | pinely by and witness this negro horde | turned loose upon the pursuits of our
 mothers, our wives. our widows, our l daughters, our sisters, and rob them of | their living.
 The negroes have not issued any ad- 1 dress, but they will continue to work
 as long as they are allowed to. It will | probably not be long before negroes
 will be at work in other southern cot | ton mills.

TRIUMPHANT DEMOCRACY,

The diamond jubilee" of good Queen to the present power and glory of Great Britain and the astonishing progress made by the English during the last sixty years. The record is an inspir- ing one and may well excite just pride in all who have Anglo-Saxon blood in their veins. But it is not out of place for the people of this country to remind themselves that they, too, have made astonishing progress during the last head of the nation we have had eight cen. In 1887 Martin Van Buren was president of the United States. There were then twenty-five stars in the flag. None of that immense expanse which has since been divided and subdivided into the States and territories of Texas, California, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and western Colorado then be- l longed to the Union. The population of the country in 1887 was 14,963, 900; in | 1897 it is estimated by the treasury de- partment at 72,547,0O0. In 1887 the wealth of the nation was about $5,000,- | 900 GOO; in 1897 it is in the neighborhood of $9O 900, ,0OO, ,O00 When Martin Van Buren was president and Victoria as cended the throne of England the rail- road mileage of the United States was 1,497; it is now 179,S21, or greater than the mileage of all Europe. In 1887 the total capital of the banks was $290,772, l O91, and the amount of deposits was S127, ,997. 1885. In 1896 the total capital was $1, ,O51, 6,254 and the amount of de- posits $1, ,907, ,156, ,277. In 1887 there were Ii, ,767 postoffices, yielding a revenue of $4, ,236, ,779; in 1895 there were 70,164, yield ing a revenue of 6,9S3, 12S. In 1887 the farms of the United States raised H. GOO, 900 tons of grain; in 1896 they raised in the neighborhood of 9O,000,000 tons. In 1887 the total value of the manufact- ured product was less than five hundred
 millions; to-day it is more than nine thousand millions.
 And this astonishing progress in ma teriaI affairs has been accompanied by a corresponding intellectual and spirit ual growth The triumphs of our de mocracy have been not less impressive

A MODEST oFEICE-sEEKER

Speaking of the important matter of congressional alimentation, a famous congressman the other day invited one of his visiting constituents, an office seeker, of course, to luncheon with him in the senate restaurant.
 What will you eat?" asked the statesman.
 ''Oh, any old thing will suit me-" sad the O. s.
 Well, give your order. Nothing is too good for you, you know"
 well" said the o. &, remembering that he had no end of favors to ask the statesman, just give me a sandwich and a cup of coffee"
 '1s that really all you want?"
 That's all"
 Well, waiter, you may fetch me some green turtle soup at once, and then a nice plate of lamb fries, one of your in- comparable shrimp salads, new Bermu- da potatoes with cream dressing, raw sliced tomatoes covered with crushed ice a few stalks of fat asparagus and just glass of sauterne. And. waiter, you may put a small bottle of Clicquot in ice for me" It is unnecessary to say that the O. s. hugely enjoyed his ham sandwich and cup of coffee.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
