Under the caption Of Draw the
Line" The 0entgal Presbyterian of
Richmond in a leading editorial says:
The reader is aware OF the revolution
now in progress by which the female
sex is simultaneously advanced to great
er dignity and usefulness and urged in
to positions and occupations for which
thoy have been hitherto deemed dis
qualified by nature. We confess our
painful apprehension that the latter in-
noyation may tend to deprive the femi-
nine element of society Of oertnin quail
tiles designed for tho highest good of
the race. The most brutal of men know
well that there are two different spheres
of activity intended for the sexes and a
line drawn by creation that cannot bo
obliterated without great saurifice.
The savage does not train his daughters
to the use Of arms as ho does his sons.
The physiological and anatomist point
out differences of bone and muscle that
qualify the male physique for labors
and exertions more severe than those of
his oonsort. There is certain delicate
difference of structure and endowment

ty.
The word of God recognizes this truth
and requires us to preserve it, Tho only
question relates to its significance, 1t is
daily impressed upon us that the exist
ing confusion is rendering it less and
less distinct, and that while the women
of our time are properly admitted to
share in many advantages and duties
from which they have been excluded
too many of them are boldly pushing
their way into functions which are in
consistent with their nature. The re-
linquishment of modesty, delioaoy and
refinement is bad enough in man. but
the public appearance Of female leotur-
ors and declaimera in pulpits and on
platforms in the presence of the other
sex appears to Us bad in its tendency if
not essentially evil. So respectable a
parsonage as Miss Willard did not
shrink from moralizing on impurity be-
tween the'sexes4eforo large audience.
We insist that even brothers and sis
ters in private conversation had better
abstain from such topic, Much more
is it shame for maiden lady to dis
ouss it in public and allow her views
on the subject to be reported to the en-
tire world.

There is new fad abroad in the way

one whose origin IL would be hard TO
trace, unless we so far back into the
customs Of the orient and there find its
prototype. The proper way to seal a
hetrothal compact now is to give ban

is fastened with pretty lock. the koy

fastened with little look
This is the latest, tho very latest, and
newest fad. The bangle mny be of gold
or silver, just MS the donors pockethools
will allow, and the little lock which
fastens it must be secured by a gold or
silver key.
The origin of the fad can only be
found in the east, where bracelets and
bangles are as common on tho ankles as
ON the wrists. Every one who has read
'Salammbo" remembers the delicate,
dninty, golden oirolets which olasped
her pretty ankles, only that salammb bo' 3

The Position Of spanish women.


"I am not going to hoist the banner
of the inslleotuGl superiority of the
woman or proclaim even the equality
of the sexes in that respect, says Lenora
dc Belmont in The Reyista Contempo-
ranea. We are bound to acknowledge
that there have Mt all times been wom-
on who were superior to most men, but
we must also confess that very few
have reached the position attained by
the most emineut mon in science, liter
ature or art, and even those few have
only followed in the wake of man. But
assuming that feminine intelligence is
really less vigorous than mans, it is
nevertheless worthy Of being taken into
consideration, for women have proved
that they can fill high position not
only in art and literature, but also in
science and philosophy.
Regarded as incapable of perform
ing work requiring intelligence and in
dependent action, tho Spanish woman
is brought up with the idea that frivol-
ity is one of her most powerful attrac-
tions and that ignorance and absolute
dependence are the qualities necessary
for those who aspire to be model wives
and good mothers Yet if it be a wom

Tho wheelwemnn,, skirt.

Addressing athletic women in Ths<
Ladies' Home journal, Edward W. Box
has some seusible suggestions regarding
their costumes, and presents tberi very
forcibly. I'VE need only to iookslt some
of the wheelwomen who ride over our
roads and through our streets with
skirts too short for wen grown child
of l2 years to see how far and to what
a vulgar extent this abuse has been car
ried. he says. "Fot woman to be
comfortable at her athletics she must
have skirt shorter than that which she
wears ON the street or in the house,
but this does not mean that she should
don garment SO sonnt MS to leave her
limbs exposed. 1t is sad enough when
we see very young girl in those abbre-
viated athletic skirts, but at least we
can attribute it TO "a youthful indiscre-
tion. But when married woman SO far
forgets herself, her years and her sex IA
to parade before the eyes of men in the
short skirts which many of them affect
the sight is nothing short of disgusting.
Even more TO be condemned is the
custom which some women have adopt
ed of donning short skirts as regula-
tion morning or afternoon dress, when
they really have no thought of athletics.
Too often is 1T the case that women in
these abbreviated skirts enter public
dining rooms or loll around verandas In
unwomnnly attitudes. There is no more
excuse for woman to appear in pub
lie dining room in an athletic costume
than there is for her to appear at break

table in riding habit

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.

HILL reports of the battle of Manila from an
 eyewitness are given to the people of the West this morning by The Call, and to those ot the East by the New York Herald. No other paper on the globe will have an account of the great victory from skilled correspondent the scene ot actlon Thus another triumph has been achieved by The Gall and Herald news service, which for the purpose of gathering and disseminating the news of the war with Spain is now without competitor worthy ot being called rival.
 The accomplishment of this brilliant feat of jour nasm has not been the result of accident or of any stroke of good fortune. It is the outcome of well laid plans arranged long ago in the expectation o As far back as last January 1t was foreseen by The Call and Herald that war with Spain was well nigh inevitable and that when war the Philip pines would be the of some of the hrst and fiercest encounters of the nations Accordingly MT. Joseph L. Stckney, naval editor Of the Herald and one of the foremost authorities naval matters now living, was selected to act as the special respondent of the two papers, and dispatched to the Orient to watch the course of events there and be prepared to report either between European nations the partition of China a conflict be- tween the United States and Spain in those waters
 Mir. Stickney in Hongkong when the broke out. He went with the United States fleet the expedition for the capture of Manila and was board the flagship Olympia when the fleet entered the harbor. He watched the combat from the bridge of the flagship, standing beside the commodore, and the whole battle from beginning to end An eye witness of the great scene, with the inspiration of vic tory thrilling his mind, he wrote the story pub fish this morning. Every paragraph is a narrative of herosm every sentence geams with the fire of battle every phrase is vivid with glowing patriotism every word IS history.
 Compared with this true story of the conflict the wild romances which the yellow fakers may publish under the pretense of having received it from the Emperor of China, the Grand Tycoon or some other barbarc dgnitary alleged to be the correspond ent of the yellow journal, will be but tame and silly production Here in The Call and in the Herald is the truth of the most marvellous fight in recent times It comes promptly in response to popular eagerness for of the victory Every word of 1t will be read, and all who read 1t will find occasion for rejoicing that gallant hero Admiral Dewey has had so skillful writer as Mr. Stickney to report his deeds to the world

ASK THE QUESTIONS.

l LTHOUGH MT. C. F. Huntington has been \ under examination before the Railroad Com
 m1sslon during the better part of week 1t has not yet occurred to anybody to ask him concerning the newspaper corruption fund which the Southern racine IS supposed to keep hand at all times. Much ot the information which has been eicited by the Commissioners is vaueless The questions pro- pounded by La Rue and Hinton have been mouthed over till everybody is weary of them Stanford, Crocker, Cotton, Stubbs Douty Towne and every other man fortunate enough to be connected with the railroad has dodged or answered them dozen times.
 As dealers in chestnuts, therefore. La Rue and Hinton are achieving great distinction As invest- gators ot cold facts, however, they are showing a lamentabe lack of capacity
 Why do not these gentlemen inquire concerning that advertising" contract with the Examiner? For twenty-two months the Southern Pacific paid the Mission street faker $Iooo month for keeping the peace. Had the sheet stayed bought the payments would have continued for thirty months which pe- rod covered political campaign and two Legisla- lures The Southern Pacific also paid the Examiner S7ooo for publishing Creed Haymonds speech before the Senate Committee Pacific Railroads, $5ooo for keeping its hands off the Pattson investigation and $25oo for horse which Hearst stole from Sen ator Stanfords stables at Palo Alto The Senator said this theft vcisstude of associated capital but the horse stolen, and we have reason be-
 eve that the Southern Pacific reimbursed Mir Stan ford for it.
 We call Commissioner Hintons attention to the fact that here IS over $36ooo disbursed by Mr. Hun tngtons agents without warrant. Why not ask the old gentleman about it? We understand he takes the newspaper contract with him every time he visits the commission in anticipation of demand for it. The document has Hearst's name attached and being an original paper, is admissible in evidence prove that Southern Pacific money has been disbursed for illegtmate purposes. The public is anxious to learn all about this affair, and if Commissioners La Rue and Hinton do not extract the facts from Mr. Huntington while he is on the stand they need not expect to hear the last of their failure to do their duty for some time to come
 We have it on reliable authority that Commissioner La Rue IS a candidate for Governor. How are his prospects, going to be promoted by negecting to ask the important questions we have suggested? If Hun tington is allowed to leave the stand without telling about the Southern Pacfc's newspaper corruption fund there is certain to be disagreeable political reckoning hereafter.

PROTECTION IN OREGON.

\ URSUANI ot an intention to poll the indus k)tr1a establishments of the various States of the
 Union for the purpose of obtaining trustworthy information to the condition of Amer can labor after eight months of protection as contrasted with Its condition during the corresponding period follow 1 ing the enactment of the Gornan-Wilson tariff the American Economist has just compiled and pub l1shed series of reports from Oregon which in an unmistakable way show that protection has been to the people of that State benefit of far-reachng value Reports were received from Io2 establishments representing thirtythree departments of industry They show that the number of hands employed in March, 1898, aggregated 1886, as compared with 837 employed in March, 1895. The total wages paid in March, 1898 amounted $Iooo43, against $41 5o4 in March, 1893. The average per capita wages for March of this year $53 o4 while those of the responding period of 1895 were $4o $. From this showing 1t will be seen that the gain in the number of hands employed amounted to 1o4o or I25Io per cent The increase in total wages amounted to $58538 or I4I.o4 per cent The advance in per capita wages amounted to $3 4o or 7.o4 per cent This is extraordinary showing for single month, and the significance of 1t becomes greater when it is remembered that 1t Is made from but establishments out of commonwealth which re- ported i'll the census of 1890 upward of 1923 manu- featuring industries If all the shops and factories of
 
 doubt but what the showing made of the benefits of protection would have been correspondingy greater
 It must be borne in mind, moreover, that in addi- ton to the advance made in the manufacturing in dustries of Oregon there has been also marked inn provement in the condition of the farmers. The values of farm lands and farm stock have risen and with the increase of work and wages the cities there has resulted better home market for all sorts of farm products.
 The publication of these papers is timely and op- perfume to the campaign now under way in Oregon They constitute of the best campaign documents that can be circulated. The howls of the calamity orators can avail nothing against the prosperous showing made by the mills and factories Protection has produced results which fully justify it as national policy.
 With this splendid record Of industrial expansion and with equally favorable showing for the opera ton of the gold standard there ought to be over whenling Republican victory in Oregon at the June elections. Surely considerable number of voters in the State would willingly return to the conditions of free trade and disaster of I8o4 or vote in favor of getting payment for their crops and their wages in silver instead of gold.

WAR AND THE PRESIDENCY.

I ) the zeal with which considerable number of \ persons have been discussing the advisability AO of giving Fitzhugh Lee the Democratic nomi- nation for the Presidency 1900 the attention of the country is directed to the possible bearings of the upon the Presidential succession. It is question which while at present purely speculative in its ure cannot fail to be of general interest.
 Every in which the United States has engaged has been the means of raising from obscurty some hero to such eminence and popularity a. to win for him the highest office n the gift of the people Out of the of 1872 Andrew Jackson and Will
 liam Henry Harrison. The Mexican War gave us Taylor and Pierce. The Civil War lifted Grant from the tanners shop to the White House. and had much to do in advancing the personal fortunes of Hayes Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and Mckinley as to obtain the Presidency for them the heads of rivals in their party who were far better known in the fields of statecraft.
 Reasoning from precedent, 1t is probable the pres will afford some unknown man the oppor- tunity to gain the esteem of the people to such an extent that he will be elevated to the high office where many other military cheftans have preceded him. The to whom this high fortune is to come is as of what fate has in store for him the rest of his countrymen He is simply going to battle to perform his duty to the flag, and his is to result from simple patriotism and aneasy mastery of whatever opportunities come in his way.
 In all former the heroes destined to attain the Presidency have served in the army No naval off cer however distinguished has ever come within measurable distance of the White House This has been due of course, to preference the part of the people for the army the navy but only be- cause former have been fought mainly on land and therefore the leaders of the land forces have nat urally and inevitably held the foremost place in the eyes of the country.
 In the present different set of conditions will prevail The greater battles will be fought on the sea- When the Spanish fleets have been destroyed the invasion of Cuba and the capture of Havana will hardly entail single battle of any considerable note We have therefore to face the possibility of naval hero as a candidate for the Presidency. An old sea dog in the White House might stir up good many things that much in need of stirring, and the pop ular consciousness of that fact would probably gain votes for him.
 It must be borne in mind, however that the eleva-
 ton of the hero the Presidency does not often immediately follow the war Taylor and Grant were the only generals elected while their laurels were fresh upon them. Jackson with the elder and younger Harrison Pierce, Hayes and the others had to wait similar waiting will in all probability attend the hero of this conflict Mckinley is entitled to re- election in 1ooo and from the present prospects can safely count on 1t
