BARGAINS FOR 1898.

Woolen fabrics Of all kinds will show very
marked advances in the near future and
nearly all goods in stock will have to be re-
plenished at much higher cost, but we wish
to reduce stock before our annual inventory,
February lst, SO we have placed on our front
counter large line of wool dress goods that
have been good sellers at SOC at the low
price Of 39c. This is saving of nearly rs
per cent. and makes the goods cheaper than
25c dress goods, as these are much wider,
and take smaller quantities for garment
On our front counter we have also put
Io, u. odd patterns of 75c and ST dress goods
at large reduction.
A large consignment Of rugs, which if IN
sold, will be returned January 81. To close
out this line we will give special discount
of 10 per cent. on Smyrna Rugs, all sizes,
Aloquette Rugs and Mats.

see that some people are blaming the
captain of the fire boat for not moving
his boat, the night of the fire, on Custom
House wharf, but feel thankful to him
for using his Judgment and saving the
whole water front. Had he attempted to
steam out of the dock that night his boat
would have landed somewhere near Port
land Bridge and he would have been
lucky if he had not sunk before arriving
at the bridge. Now some persons say ne
could have run line around the end OF
Portland Pier and so kept the steamer
headed towards the fire. But they must
remem ber the fire boat does not carry. .inen
to run lines and even If they had had the
men it Is extremely doubtful II any men
could have run line as it was almost
impossible for man 10 go SO near the
end of the wharf in the wind, rain and
smoke. to say nothing about carrying
line and making it fast. Remem Der THIS
was carly morning during gale. LeJ z
person 90 dtwn 10 the pier now III the
daytime when the weather is clear and
he will say only sailor, or person some
what used to such work, can run line
around the end of the pier in the daytime.
consider that by the good Judgment OF
the Captain of the fire boat every wharf
in the city to the westward of the fire was
saved. Had Portland Pier got on ire
the department could not have saved the
city. rs they had their hands full on Gus
tom House Wharf 1t is well for the pub
lie not to juge tuo quickly without learn
ing all The facts i the case. The Cap
tain of the fire boat has U. S. License
which required him to use all due caution
and not to risk his boat or the lives
under him when it is not necessary. Had
he left his dock and the pier got on fire
and set half the city on fire people would
have been ready to have hung the captain
for doing SO.

their property The only son is married
and lives in distant city. By whom are
those women represented9 Their only
near relation lives far away, not even in
the same State, and he has wife of his
own whom he must represent if ne repTes
sents any woman. The only available
representatives for the mother and
daughter are their coachman and garden

would reply that they do not consider
themselves in any way, either "yirtual
W or directly, represented by those e :
cellent men, who. tho oh most satlsfa

duties, cannot be said to share the poilIl-
cal views of their employers IN any way

The injustice of this state of things
would seem apparent to all fair minded
persons But there Is still another side OF
the question. 1t is not only that the
disfranchised women are unfairly treated,
but the public GOOD Inevitably suners
from the political non-exlstence OF hall
the itizens Of the Republic There are
but two things possible, either women
are interested in pclitics or they are not.
If the former, the country Is distlncti
injured, for nothing is more fatal to
good government than the iDtermeddllng
of large body Of people who have never
studied the questions at issue and whose
only interest is a personal one. It is true
that there are may women who do study
public questions from pure and disinter-
ested motives, and who try their lest to
bring about a purer and better form OF
government, but these are inevitably few
and far between, and presumably Will SO
continue, for none but the very highest
and largest natures will be content to
work at q matter in which their toll can
be only yicariously effective, as is the case
where women are concerned in political
work.
II, on the other hand women are not
interested in politics, what is the condl-
tion of that country, half Of whose citi-
zens do not care whether it be we'll
governed or notP That women influence
men is never denied, even by the most
strenuous opponents of woman suffrage
1t is, on the contrary, most violently
asserted by those very people; tut OF
what value is that interest il the woman

utterly ignorant of one Of the most i'm
portant duties of his life?

WHO REPRESENTS woMENY
j. Fl. BLAKE.
Widgery Wharf.

It is frequently maintained that women
are represented in government by the men
who are akin to them. This statement
has been openly made by many, and,
among others, by women who do not de-
sire the suffrage. But in what possible
way can a woman be represented by her
husband, son, or brother il she has no
voice in the matter. and can neither
choose nor refrian from choosing? She
may sympathize keenly with the political
opinions of her near male relatives, but
she is in no sense represented by them
even then. Representation implies free
dom of choice.
And how many women are there in
America who do not synpathize with
their relatives, or who have none near
enough to be said, by any ssstretch.of the
imagination, to even virtually" repre-
sent rhems Take one family as type OF
many more. The mother and unmarried
daughter live together and pay taxes on
