THE RED LIGHT.
The Danger Signal That Must Always
BE Obeyed.

The Danger Signal That Must Always
BE Obeyed.
WheD there is danger on the railroad
a red light is displayed. To run by
this signal means death or injury to the
passengers.
All through life we see the danger
signals and, if unheeded, sorrow, des-
pair, and sometimes death result. These
warnings are sent out by man or nature
for our protection.
Nature sends out a warning signal
when her laws have been disobeyed
and there is danger of going farther be-
fore the wrong has been righted.
The best machinery needs oil, 50 does
the human machine.
The system becomes run down and
needs to be built up. 1t must be placed
in healthy condition before it will do
its work properly.
If the blood is impure and the liver
torpid, the stomach fails TO do its work
and dyspepsia, nervousness, catarrh,
headaches and constipation are the re-
suit. These are natures signals Heed
them before it is too late.
A new combination of thoroughly
tried and tested remedies called Knox
Stomach Tablets are now offered to
suffering humanity. This new vege-
table remedy goes to the seat of these
disorders, builds up the whole system
and transforms the weak and infirm
into b aalthy men and women. A sim
gle box will be most fOrcible argu-
ment to the sufferer.
Knox Stomach Tablets Immediately
relieve indigestion and are positive
cure for dyspepsia. If your druggist
does not sell them, send fifty cents with
your address and that of the druggist
to the Knox Chemical Co., Battle Creek,
Mich, and full sized box will be sent
postpaid.

1t is very suggestive news that comes
to us from Washington City that
women are practically being barred out
of the government departments there.
Every sort of an excuse is given for
this discrimination against women but
the true one. The discovery of these
feminine disabilities has only recently
been made. Ever since the experiment
of appointing women was first tried,
nearly forty years ago, successive heads
of departments have testified to the
satisfactory work of their women en-
ployees. They have even in some cases
given women credit for greater puDct
uality, industry and efficiency than men.
The L. 5. Labor Commissioner, Hon.
Carroll ID. Wright, says in recent re
port that where women are employed
they are regarded as more reliable, neat,
industrious and polite than men, and
consequently are more desirable in
places for which they are fitted. Wy
oming and Utah, the commissioner
says, are the only states where women
receive equal wages with men In re-
turn for equal work by legislative en-
actment. Although some progress has
been made in this direction in the last
few years, Mr.. Wright thinks there is
still too much inequality.
Civil-Service Commissioner Harlow
says that the commission has long
list of excellent women eligible for ap-
pOintmeDt, but that 1t cannot get the
appointing officers to take them. The
heads of the departments are ashamed
to confess the real reason for this un-
| Just discrimination which is a political
one. Women have no votes and are
therefore without political influence,
the places which women hold are needed
as perquisites, and are given in pay
ment for political services. There is an
immense pressure brought to bear by
local politicians throughout the country
for these places. Consequently, when
ever there is vacancy to be filled, the
heads of the departments and chiefs OF
bureaus almost invariably ask for d
man. The civil-service regulations
recognize the right to discriminate be-
tween the sexes, and whenever re-
QUESTION is made for a clerk, steno-
grapher or typewriter, the commission
certifies only the names of men.
The Boston, Mass, Gazette very sig
nilicantly asks: "What is the opinion OF
the national government as to the rights
of women to earn a living and what
can be said for the dismissal OF sc
many women employees of the govern
ment? An official answer &c this
question would prove most interesting
reading"
Such an injustice would never occur
in state where women have the bal
lot, and the working woman will sooner
or later learn that the ballot is neces
sary to protect her in her right to earl
her own living.

Advance i'm Lumber.

The price of lumber has advanced
phenomenally in the past six months
owing to the unusual demand. A man
engaging in the lumber business now is
forced to carry the same stock with an
outlay of so per cent more capital than
was required sometime ago. In this
vicinity there has been much less build
ing than in former years, but compare
lively the country trade has been much
better than the local city trade.

PROPERTY QUALIFICATION.

If the provision of the Hawaiian
organic bill as agreed upon by the
committee of the House, and made TO
conform TO the views of the Senate
committee only strikes out property
qualifications of electors for the House,
and retains substantially property
qualification for Senators and electors
of Senators, the Commission may be
congratulated on the general success
of their work. We have stated several
times in these columns, that if the Re
publican party adhered to its tradi-
lions. it would cast off all property
qualifications, and we were prepared
to see it done. But the Republican
party has expanded on the question
of self government, and is now appar-
emily ready to try some experiments.
IL Mr.. Sewall's organ represents his
general views ON these questions, its
prediction that men who advocated
this qualified suffrage, would dig their
own political graves, must be startling
news to the Republicans in Congress
who are in favor of it. 1t is very mean
OF them TO approve, after eighteen days
deliberation, a measure which Presi-
dent Dole favored. 1t is meaner still for
these Republicans in Congress to re-
fuse to take the advice of Mr.. Sewall's
party organ. If the Republican party
is to be organized here, in the interests
of our local politics, it should be put
into commission at once. and call a
halt on the Republicans in Congress
who refuse to listen to the voices Of
the Island charmers and prostitute
their high office to limiting the fran
chise Although the House committee
has reduced the amount necessary TO
qualify, it keeps it at a figure which
will make at times a serious differ
ence in the vote If the bill becomes
a law, with this provision retained, it
will be the first authoritative declara-
tion by Congress Of the right to restrict
self government by the people of the
territories

CASE OF ALASKA.

So unwilling has Congress been 20
provide any adequate government for
the Territory of Alaska, it has re-
fused for over thirty years to even
provide proper land laws for it. Vast
as the Territory is, and capable as ii
is of producing wheat and other grains,
the settlers there have not been al
lowed to take up homesteads, or i'm
prove the country. But under the in
fiuence of good men, Congress is now
providing liquor law, which ought
to protect the poor Indian, but prob
ably will not.
This neglect to provide for the set
Element and proper government OF the
Territory is due to the fact that in
such a sparsely settled country, the ex-
pense of giving it a well organized
government would be a costly affair.
Besides, the voting population would
be Indian or nothing. There was no
material in the Territory, with which
to build up self governing commun-
ity. Congress waited for something TO
turn up. The Klondike has turned up,
and Congress moves.

SEARCH FOR TREASURE.

Within recent period-about twenty
years agO-a capable but credulous man
after obtaining what he designated as
inside information, declared his belief
amount of treasure in a box, which
laid at the bottom of the Hudson
river at a spot two miles above West
Point He organized a company, and
among the subscribers to the stock
were a number of business men, and
small traders He did not ask for large
subscriptions, but suggested that
small investment would not ruin the
investor if the scheme failed, and if
it succeeded, the returns might be enor-
nous. He obtained the sum of $4,000.
The river was dragged by machinery
especially constructed for the purpose,
and divers were employed to walk the
bottom of the river. Many months
were spent in searching for the treas
ure. but nothing but old junk was
brought up. The promoter of the
scheme had an abiding faith that the
treasure was in existence. He employ
ed fortune tellers, astrologers, and
clairvoyants. Not one of them told him
that the treasure did not exist. All de-
cIared that it did. One noted cairvOy-
ant, on receiving an extra fee, under
took to visit the right spot, and point
it out. But he, having received his
fee in advance, got drunk while in the
boat inspecting the river, and told the
promoter that if the gold was discov-
cred, it would belong to the people
whom Capt. Kidd had robbed. This
comment resulted III fight, and the
clairvoyant swan ashore. After the
money of the Capt. Kidd syndicate
was spent, nearly all of the investors
declined to admit that they had any
interest in the undertaking. One OF
them, however. a farmer brought sui
TO recover the money he had paid tC
the promoter. The case was tried be
fore Justice of the Peace. The ole
farmer told the court that he ALLOW
ed that Capt. Kidd's money wa!

lieved that the promoter had foun(
it, and was keeping the matter a Sc
cret, and he wanted the Justice to MAKE
him show up. The Justice held tina
the crime charged was the concealin:
OF information and he could not hole
the prisoner on that ground, and dis
charged him. The promoter informet
