A THRIFTY PATRIOT.

patriot of great thrift and thoughtfulness has
recently been discovered hidden away in the Green
mountains of Vermont. His name should go ringing

valuable class which will brook no thought of ex-
travagance in the disposition of the public funds.
This patriot had learned somewhere or somehow

DISPLACING WOMEN.

recent dispatch from Washington is the author
ity for the statement that women are being barred
out Of the government service in the departments at
Washington. The qualification accompanies the
statement that there is concerted effort among the
heads Of the departments this end but that when
ever there is place to be filed the head OF the
Office almost invariably asks for man.
1t has been recognized as a fact for long time
past that there is positive discrimination against
women in filling clerical positions in the service of
the general government under the regulations of the
civil service law It is virtually impossible for
woman to secure a civil service appointment
when a man is found the list of eligi-
bles This view is confirmed in the dispatch
ferred to by Civil Service Commissioner Harlow who
declares that the commission had long list of ex-
celent women stenographers and typewriters eligible
for appointment, but they could not get the appoint
ing officers to take them
The only adequate explanation thus far offered
of the comparative disfavor with which women clerks
are regarded is offered by Assistant Secretary the
Treasury Vanderlp, who says:

few months ago the announcement was made
that in the operation of of the leading railroad
systems Of the Northwest the services of women
clerks would thereafter be dispensed with at least so
far as future appointments concerned. This or

conviction on the part of the principal railroad officials
that women had much less Of adaptablity to work Of
varied character than had 1t was also de-
clared that it found impossible in practice to

Those who believe that women have been unduly
invading many avenues Of employment which should
be occupied by men in commercial life will find
much comfort in the evident trend toward dispensing
with the services of the fair in many such en-
pigments. The general Introduction of women into
employments before held by has had the most
farreaching social effects. 1t is not necessary and
would not be appropriate here to enter into con-
sderaton of the question whether the result of such
general employment of women has been beneficial or
the reverse in its effects society Whatever con-
illusions may be reached that very comprehensive
subject. it is quite plain that the employment of

OUR STATE LIBRARY.

Only those of studious or literary dispositions or
those who are in search of technical information can
lie said to form anything like a correct estimate
OF the great value to the state of the library of the
State Historical society, which is maintained In the
state capitol free for the use Of the public.
The annual report of the library compiled by Mr.
Warren 1pham, its secretary for the past year has
just been issued and shows What splendid possess

In order to form some understanding however
imperfect OF the extent and completeness of the work
done by the officials of this splendid public insttu

DIR. DE COsTA's RETIREMENT.

The retirement of Rev. Benjamin +. De Costa,
rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of ST. John
the Evangelist, New York, is an event of no little
significance. Whatever may be it's avowed cause
the attitude assumed by DR.. De Costa for a long
period with reference the teachings and practices
Of the Episcopal church has been such as makes
his retirement at this time an event Of considerable
interest and Importance.
In the of his sermons for many months
past DR.. De Costa, who has the highest dis
tinction in his calling has shown that he is
completely out Of sympathy with the pre-
vailing tendency of faith and practice in
his church He set himself in the most
unreserved manner against the ordination of Dr..
Briggs, declaring the admission of that gentleman
to the Episcopal ministry to be in violation of all
the teachings of the church and be subversve at
Of church discipline and of the fundamental
doctrine of the inspired character of the Scriptures
DR.. De Costa is one of the prominent ecclesiatics
of the country who has never hesitated to advert
to the circumstance that the people are
outside Of the fold of the Protestant sects and
steadily showing increased disposition to discard
church membership He held the churches, their
teachings and their relation society responsible

members of the Protestant ministry as in measure
indicated by the acceptance Of Dr. Briggs quail
fed for the Episcopal ministry, DR.. De Costa had fire.
quently indicated to be Of the inspiring
victions which led him to his critical attitude toward
the authorities of his creed.
When minister of the gospel feels himself at
liberty to speak and act as Dr. De Costa has for
a long time past toward the authorities Of his own
church, good taste, well good judgment, should
dictate his retirement He has right to force
his hostile critical opinions those who believe
in the faith and practice of the church to which they
belong.
1t is entirely improbable that DR.. De Costa
signed from any other motive than those avowed by
himself, the principal being that of advancing
years; but his retirement is the less graceful
and timely If Christian minister finds himself out
of touch with the faith Of which he makes a pro-
fession without being able to reconcile himself with
the doctrines of any other of the Christian churches
his withdrawal from his ministry is due both to
himself and the church. The Church Of the Evan
gelst in New York will have lost the services of
very eloquent and earnest pastor by the withdrawal
of Dr. De Costa; but the of religion is not at
all likely to suffer- either in the Episcopal church
otherwise, by the event.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN COALITION.

There is inherent probability that lends
credence to these repeated reports that the leading
powers of the South American republics conduct
ing negotiations with view to forming defensive
alliance against anticipated aggression of the United
States upon their independence. If these negocia
should end in formal treaties they have for their
present basis apprehension not unfounded and
will result in of those tacft understandings which
nations, like individuals, have and which quite

apprehension worth consideration.
For over seventy years these republics" have
looked to the United States their protector against
European aggression Monroe's formulation of
continental policy Of respecting the rights of Eu
ropean powers upon this hemisphere then estab-
lished, but Of opposition to any increase at
the expense of the republics, had been
affirmed when army Of observation moved down
to the Mexican frontier in 1865 to support demand
for the withdrawal of French troops from Mexico.
and again in the demand of President Cleveland
that England submit the Venezuela boundary dis
pute to arbitration If any policy could have been
accepted as established it the Monroe doctrine.
Suddenly they saw the United States, directed by
administration chosen without the slightest con-
sderation Of the matter by the people, reject the
first proposition of the Monroe doctrine not to IN
terfere with the sovereignty of foreign powers on
the western continent and notify Spain to quit fol
lowing 1t with a war OF expulsion anu appropriation

They recall that the conditions in Cuba, that
were made the pretext for this departure from set

that forty years ago they had been made the pre-
text for the Ostend manfesto that the Grant admin
