Women Excluded From Lines Of
Employment That Do Not Permit
Promotion.
Some time ago The Globe called at
tention to the club women's interest in the
reported exclusion OF feminine employees by
the Chicago & Northwestern railway. Mrs.
Henrotin's sound sense was displayed In
her calm and dignifed inquiry addressed to
the president of the company. az to- the
reasons for the action. She received the
following response to her query:
My Dear Madam Your favor of the
18th to hand. The public doubtless has an
exaggerated impression about the matter of
which you write. 1t is not the purpose OF
the Northwestern Railway company to en-
tireiy exclude women from it's employment
1t must, however, be quite apparent that
there are certain branches OF railway serv-
Ice notably the operating and mechanical
departments, in which. the services OF wom-
en- can be awaited of only to limited ex-
tent, and In which they cannot take their
place IN the regular line of promotion. 1t
is the purpose and policy OF the company
to make promotions of employees within its
own service. and to afford those in minor
position the opportunity to train and At
themselves for advancement; and in carry
Ing out this policy the management finds 1t

More Colonial Lessons

There is rhythmical injunction
current among children which runs:
open your mouth and shut your eyes.
and I'll give you something to make
YOU wise" If the expansionists will for
just one brief moment heed this in
Junction reversed, and study intelli-
gently the French colonial reports.
they may peradventure become wise.
They tell us that to assume a posi-
ton equal in Importance to that Of
great european powers we must reach
out and become a colonizing nation.
1t was pointed out in these columns
some time ago that France, in her eff
forts to reach out and colonize' CO.
chin-China. was taxing her people at
the rate Of $4,000 day for the Ton
quin colony; that up 10 1892 she had
paid out altogether 476, 900, 900 francs,
while she had sold to the same colony
in the same time goods aggregating in
value but 50,000,OO0 francs and that
she maintains an army of $4,000 men

The journal des Economistes in
recent issue gives further interesting
information concerning Algeria, which
by reason Of its comparative proxim-
ity was said to be much less expen-
sive to the mother country. But the
total value of exports to this depen-
dency is 10O,OOO,O 600 francs, and it costs
just exactly this amount to defend the
colony. So that IL this 100, DOC, 900 francs
in trade went directly to the French
people the most that could be said
would be that France was laboriously
doing nothing in Algeria, so far as
finances were concerned. However, if
we allow Is or 20 per cent profit on
this volume of trade. there will be but
15,000000 or 2O0O0,00O francs going into
exporters pockets every year, while
100,000,000 francs are being wrung from
the French taxpayers.
Furthermore the Journal states that
foreign trade has fallen off nearly Il
per cent under the combined influence
of protection and colonial expansion
But we doubt whether expansionists
win keep either their eyes open or their
mouths shut long enough to learn the
lesson these figures teach.

Gov. Llnds message is ukely to prove a
disappointment to many of his followers. who
labored under the self-delusion that his cleo
ton woalH revolutiol.ze the entire affairs
of state. and that the millennium would close
ly follow his Inauguration. Aside from the
changes in a number Of offices. and some of
these are likely to prove greatly for the
worse, things will move on just as they have
for the past forty years.
The message Is a plain business document
presenting the usual recommendations upon
various interests, most of which have been
discounted by previous suggestion and dis
cussion, and several have been found i'm
practicable and falIacious. What influence it
will have upon the present session of the

Flying Embers.

At recent exhibition of book-covers in
London prizes were awarded to two samples
which were signed by a Miss Matthews.
Weeks afterwards 1t was learned that miss
Matthews" and Princess Victoria, the only
unmarried daughter of the Prince and Princess
OF Wales, were one and the same person.
The judges and her royal highness' family
were as ignorant Of this fact as were the
PUBLIC. Only two years ago the pressure Of
family counsel made her relinquish her pur-
pose OF entering a London hospital as a pro-
fessional nurse, a position for which she had
lifted herself. Now the young lady's energy
is turning into decorative channels, and she
is making speciality of bookbinding and the
designing Of book covers, in which she is
said to be doing some very excellent work.

the majority of deaths among the siok occur

There are many explanations. My own
theory is that 1T is due to the ebb and flow
OF the earth's magnetic currents. 1t has been
observed that at about in the afternoon

POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF CLUBS
Clubs Sometimes Invited to Assist
In Distributing Patronage.


The growing influence Of women's clubs
in political matters is worthy Of attention.
This, too, on the active and direct side, as
well as the indirect influence exerted by
the various civic leagues and educational
societies, whose work Is often general rather
than specific. Gov. Adams, CT Colorado in
a conversation with New York club wom-
an in attendance last June at the Denver
biennial, made the significant remark to
the effect that the woman's club Of the city
he'd an important balance of power in po-
Nteal affairs A certain set of ward pol;ti-
clans in putting forth any new measure or
scheme watched anxiously, he said, for the
verdict of the club in relation to it.
While this attitude is to be expected in
state where universal suffrage is the law,
a growing attention to the opinions and
possible action or organizations Of women
Is very noticeable elsewhere. At the last
two elections in New York the work of
club women was by no means insignificant,
although not pointed in this community with
the pregnant tip. Of ballot representation
The new sheriff Of Cook county, Illinois,
has invited the womens clubs Of Chicago
to assist him in distributing some Of his
patronage. He has written to the officers
OF the eight leading clubs in the city, MAX
Ing the suggestion that they should name
committee to select for him three matrons
for the county jail. 81 want says the
sheriff, three good, nd-hearted, Arm,
strong, capable women to look after the
female prisoners, and these jobs are at the
disposal of the women's clubs"
These instances may be duplicated in
MANY parts and places. They are unmis-
taxable signs of the recognition OF women's
right to interest and influence in pub
lie affairs This interest and influence she
has achieved by easy and natural stages
through her club life. 1t is the logical se-
quence of her club effort in many phian-
thropic and reformatory measures. There
are many thoughtful and conservative wom-
en- who do not hesitate to say that II uni
versal suffrage Shall finally be the law in
all states in this cealtry, it will be be-
cause the half-millfon club women In the
Union demand it, and feel that they are
ready for it.
However this may be, the club woman's
influence in the affairs OF state must, by
deductions from known premises, develop and
increase rather than diminish. -Harpers

A SERVANT GIRLS, UNION.
The Movement, Started In Europe,

Two leaders of the movement to establish
Servant Girls union are Miss Ida Chris

Mailer, of Denmark. The women employed as
servants in Norway were the first to take
steps for the formation.
This was less than a year ago, when an or
ganlzat1on known as ''Domestics Union"
was formed, and constitution and bylaws
were adopted. 1t was also decided to publish
a newspaper, through which the new Views

trades A union would be likely to raise the
standard among the workers themselves, and
would dignity homework, removing from it
the stigma that now is attached to it, and as
a result more competent girls would be

sary would be housekeepers' union
Mrs. S. B. Larned said: Il think the ideal
