WOMEN OPPOSE WOMEN.

The state OF Affairs Said to Exist In
the Government Service.
"Why is il that women are practical
ly dcbarrcd from receiving promotions
to the higher places in the government
service!' asked a government clerk of
q quarter of century's experience.
The question was put to several ladies
In the treasury department. Before
any one Of them had time to reply the
questioner proceeded to answer his
own interrOgatory.
1T is because they arc htl,l back by
members Of their own sex." he said.
"Sone time ago lady in one division

that she would have hecn made chief
Of that division. hut as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow

clared that they could never work m

We should hear more of Presi-
dent McKinley's next stu,nping tour
in a very short time. The plan has
already been outlined, Il preliminary
blast has been sounded and presum-
ably preparations are now making
for this presidential swing around
the circle-once more for luck.
Way stations will be billed for the
coming of. the official circus, and
no metropolis or cross-road where
there is the slightest disafection or
glimmering of "'treason" will he
passed bv without rear-plattorm
palaver or a longer stop for a grand
parade, handshaking, talk and re-
freshments. There will be great
show of accompanying statesmen
who will ably assist in this last great
effort in defense of the admin,stra-
TONS aggressive policy in the far
East. 1t will be tremendous spec
tacle, but to go to the people Sec
ond time, to find it necessary again
to beg from the stump tor support
for a policy involving sacrifice OF
life and money which above all
others should never have been en-
tered upon without first gaining the
consent of the whole nation, is
pitiable confession Of weakness.

1t is a long list OF British generals
that have been outgeneralled by
their South African foes-Whitc,
Methuen, Yule, Gatacre, Butler and
French. The British are learning
military science; sufficient in their
belief in the ,nvincibility of British
arms they have sustained a terrible
reverse in England's first war for
years with people who use modern
firearms and know thing or two
about military strategy. The Brit
ish have fought savages so long that
believed themselves invulnerable,
but gallantry-Tommy Atkins has
plenty of courage-will not carry a
fortified position in the face of
rapid-fire guns. Then the Beers
are fighting for freedom, for their
homes, for their lives, and their des-
perate courage and cunning seem
likely to probing the war and to
make England, if she wins, pay a
price for victory that will, as Presi-
dent Kruger said, stagger the world.
