When the good people of the Colonies
decided that there should be no taxation
without representation, man, in its generic
sense, became citizen de facto. When the
President of the United States was elected
by the votes in several States by generic
man it settled the question of citizenship for
the second time. Deborah Sampson, Moll
Pitcher, Abigail Adams, the defenders of
Peperill Bridge, and every woman who
spun flax, whirred the shuttle, titled the
fields, supported and kept families TO-
gether through the long Revolutionary
struggle, did more than pay taxes they
did the service of citizens for their country.

Mrs. Russell Sage. in refusing to at
tend woman's federation meeting be-
cause it was held in theater, has rails
ed an old question in a new form.
Opinions vary so greatly as to the
morality or immortality of the stage,
and so much depends upon the point
of view. that it is futile to raise the
question in the majority of cases.
Argument results only in more argu-
ment. with never a conclusion as to the
morality of a building. Admitting that
buildings even in an emptied sense pos
sess the attribute, the question on its
face is not so hopeless of solution. The
stage may or may not be immoral AS
sumo that it is; do any of its baser
qualities pass to the bricks and stones
that surround it? People even of the
most intense convictions are of neces-
sity compelled to use the same air, the
same sunlight, the same streets and
the same hotels as those who do not
agree with them. Why may they not
Use the same theaters and with as lit
tie cOmpunction? Any structure is Just
as good as the uses to which it is de-
voted. A theater used for the pur-
women takes on, for the time being at
least. the attributes Of such federation.
Police regulations, if nothing more.
provide that Protest. then, must go
back to objections so remote that they
reach to the utmost confines of the
sentimental.
No one will question the right Of Mrs.
Sage to attend or stay away from
theaters, whether they be devoted to
the drama. to conventions or any other
use, but the world may equally take
issue with her when she asserts her
view as the correct one. Such a stand
seems to be a devotion to a non-es-
sential that does not commend itself
TO common sense. 1t looks like preju-
dice by which nothing Of practical
value may be accomplished.

to complete this line is placed at $4,-

From Ottawa now comes the news
that the Canadian government has an
other plan under consideration This
is to run line Of wire from Ottawa
to Dawson City, but, instead of the
costly Ashcroft route. it is purposed
to cross the passes from Lake Ben
nett To the Canadian people the lat
ter proposition appears more accept
able, as the line can be constructed
much more cheaply. In Canadian pa
pers a Miss Shaw, who Is said to be
competent authority is quoted as ex-
pressing the opinion that telegraphic
service between Ottawa and Dawson
City would be greatly in the interest
of better administration of affairs in
the gold regions of the Klondike.
1t is at once evident to all that a
line from Ottawa places us all in di-
rect communication by wire with Daw-
son City. and, although tolls would un-
doubtedly be heavy at first, they
would still be cheaper than present
methods Of mail delivery in that far
away region.

TELEGRAPH TO DAWSON CITY.

The possibility Of telegraphic COM

points in the United States is not so
remote as might be imagined by those
familiar with distances between here
and the Klondike country and the at
tendant difficulties in getting there at
all. There are, in fact, two chances
offered of wire service between civili-
zation and the semi methods
of existence in that inhospitable cline.
A short time ago the Winnipeg Trib-
une contained an announcement from
British Columbia to the effect that the
Canadian government was contemplat-

route of this proposed line follows an

MARCH RAIN.

(By Samuel Eberly Gross, author Of "The
Merchant Prince of Cornville'')
The toiling clouds across the meadows tost
Descending from the rain-drenched hills;
The naked woods in vapory dimness lost
And c.amor of the swollen rills
Swift hurrying TO the villhge mills
Dashed meath the heavy laden cloud;
The veil uplifted to the hard wind Yields:
The lowering herds the hedgerows crowd
And shiver In the feds unploughed
singing bird upon the garden tree.
An incense floating in a song,
leaflesS branch, Waf upon the sea
A birds clear Yodce-the bird holds strong
While all around the March winds throng.
A sweet adyenturer in clustering spring,
Redbreast robin with heart SO bold
Too early on thy northward journeying:
No sweeter tale in southland told
Than thine mid rain and pteous cold
Inside the farmhouse nesting in the vale,
The golden hearthstone fire glows;
NO clamorS there the loving heart aSsaiI.
There blended love with duty grows
The wheatstalk mineling with the rose
And gazing through the rain dashed window
pane.
Tne nrel1ght woos with red the dripping
rain,
Until, across the meadows gray
The nightlights pierce the faded day.
The rain-webbed night upon the word shut
down,
The curtains OF the soul undraw:
dream-ciad ar by stormng winds unb,oWn,
5 No frozen cloud nor winters thaw,
But gentle glow Of loves bright law.

EXPENSIVE .MUTUAL IMPROVE
MENT'

On Thursday last fifty three represent
atlVes of stovemakers in various parts
OF the country assembled at the Audi
torium hotel, Chicago, and proceeded TO
do some figuring. One after another
each handed in his estimate of the
amount of annual business done by
MS hrm, and when the grand total was
cast up it was discovered that the home
market OF the United States patronized
these htty-three stove manufacturers.
In round figures, $40, 900, 900 worth. No
figures of the cost of production were
taken into account at this meeting.
at least none were given out to the
press, but the principal question dis
cussed was How to increase this in
come without materially affecting the
output?"
Taking $40,000,000 as a basis of COM
putation, these stove men compared
notes and smoked cigars. Individual
views We're exchanged and probable
results compared. On one point all
were united. That point was that
there must be an increase in the price
of stoves. Having decided this without
a dissenting voice, the stove men at
tails. Some one suggested a stove
trust. AT this several of the represent
atives WINGED perceptibly. 1t may
have been noticed that, of late, the
word trust" causes considerable Winc-
Ing in certain industrial circles. The
word possesses a much harsher sig
nlhcance than it once did. To many.
especially consumers, the plain wearer
of goods and eater of foods. 1t is de-
cidedly obnoxious. And all the heavy
weight trust manipulators are aware of
this fact
Then one of the stove men rose and.
addressing the president, Charles 6.
Prizen, of Reading, Pa, moved that
the StoVemakers represented fifty-
three of them, agree to join in increas-
Ing the price of manufactured stoves
10 per cent. a vote was taken and
the question easily disposed of affirm
atively. Then it was further moved,
and as promptly carried, that the-the
combination be known as an "associ-
ation," and not a trust" AS one of
the representatives explained. after ad-
jOurnment:
We are in no sense Of the word
trust, merely an association for the
purpose OF mutual improvement"
But this mutual Improvement will
cost the householders and users of
stoves in the United States $4,000 600
in excess of what they paid for stoves
in 1898. The ediet has gone forth, and
prices VIII be marked up accordingly.
