AN OCCASION NOT TO BE MISSED.

On Tuesday of next week,
July 24tb, the great excursion
of Mr. r. E. Pipkin starts from
Wilmington in the morning and
from Goldsboro at noon, for
Norfolk, Washington and Bal

SO far as Norfolk, So. SO. It is
marvellous how very cheap this
trip is, and it gives you two
whole days and one night in
Washington or Baltimore-or
you can go over from Washing>

these great Southern cities one

last. but far the most sublime

are to be seen, within easy dis

A pro-Boer organ Of New York has for
inulated some new war maxims and as
specimens of eccentric cerebration they
are rather interesting. Here are three;
Trust in God and get the best guns"

and singing psalms must not be despised be-
cause they seldom take BATH
We have here some alleged reasons why
American sympathy should be with the
Boer Republic. The argument seems to be
that God is likely TO give the victory to
the army with the best guns and the
strongest positions, because 1t holds a
prayer meeting before every battle and
pays no attention TO cleanliness. Accord
ing to this, the Creator of the universe is
going to pay especial attention to the pray
ers OF the Beers. II is not explained
whether he would be on the side of the
English il they held prayer meeting be-
fore every battle. or whether be would wait
for them 10 get better artillery. or whether
he is displeased with them for their deyo-
ton to soap and water. On the wbo,e. the
logic OF these propositions seems 10 be
peculiar.

Among the many ereditable achieve
ments of American diplomacy since Mr..
Hay became Secretary OF State in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Cabinet. not the least important
has been the mutual provision which he
succeeded in having introduced into The
Hague convention. 1t amounted to no less
a gain for the United States than a gen.
eral undertaking on the part of the sigma
tory powers to recognize and respect the
position of this country in the Western
Hemisphere, under the Monroe doctrine,
in return for an agreement by the United
States not TO NEEDLE in the political af-
fairs of Europe.

standing in view of complications which
might otherwise arise. connected with the

tiers that do not concern ms. and with
which we should have no business to in

In these circumstances il is plain that
all efforts TO embroil our Government in
trouble with Great Britain over the war

Filipino element. which has been making
most OF the noise in this direction. solely
with a hope TO get us in some sort Of
foreign ENHANCEMENT which should lead to
European interference and the loss of our
island possessions, will now find it neces-
sary to resort to different means Of
involving the country in. hostilities with
other nations. Intervention in trans

yond our power, and President Mckinley

speaking. it does not affect international
politics Nobody would think Of condemn
ing a nation simply because the majority
of it, citizens did not know the use Of
soap. The political rights Of people have
nothing to do with bathtubs. But when it
comes to n comparison of civilizations,
matters Of cleanliness certainly count for a
great deal. We may respect a man whose
fabits are untidy. il he chances to have
great talent; but we do not consider him
a gentleman or invite him 10 dine with us,
and. other things being equal. we much
prefer to do business with clean man,
such as is an ornament TO his service and
a satisfactory companion. Important mat
tiers nowadays are settled more or less by
just such details. If two men of equal
ability engage in some profession prefer
ence will be given to the one whose per-
sonality is agreeable. There is a deep
rooted reason for this.
The history OF classes and of nations has
shown that the observance Of certain san
itary laws promotes both good morals and
Intelligence. There are so many ailments
which have come to be recognized as filth
diseases that the safety and physical
wholesomeness OF clean habits is obvious
to all intelligent people. When popula-
tion is scattered. and addicted to out-of-
door life. the physical evils arising from
lack of personal refinement may be ave IT.
ed. for fresh air is in itself a purifier; out
a high order of intelligence and a sensitive
appreciation of the best in life, intellectu-
ally and morally, seems to be found only
where people are accustomed to be clean.
1t is possible that the exquisite sensitive
ness and delicacy Of eye and touch which
the japanese have developed is due partly
to their inveterate bathing habits The
toughness of the Scot, though he be half
nourished and hard worked, may perhaps
be connected with the stern devotion TO
cleanliness shown by certain type OF
Scotch woman, and the thrift, enterprise
and artistic development of the Hollander
may be traced to the abundant water sup
ply which makes Lowland housewives the
cleanest in the world. There must be some
reason for the fact that wherever we find
dirt we find ignorance. degradation, and a
low order of intelligence, often accom-
panied by bigoted superstition and fanati-
cal tyranny.

Supernnnuafed Clerks.

To the Editor Of The Times:
l desire to call attention TO the bill in
troduced in the House of Representatives
and providing for the retirement of super
animated clerks. At present there is no
law to regulate such retirements Clerks
who have become disabled by reason of
age. etc, are left unmolested if they
have strong political pull or subterfuge
must be employed 10 get rid of them.
Witness the fate Of the 1000 aged Treas
ury clerks who were reduced by Secre-
tary Gage, put upon what he styled the
roll of honor" and. at the end Of the
current fiscal year, dismissed in a body,
because Congress, as might have been
foreseen. refused to recognize the new
classification and made no provision to
pay such employees.
The fear expressed by various Repre-
sentatives that a clerks annuity bill
would create a civil pension list is en-
tirely groundless: the Government would
be giving nothing, as the money would
come from the clerks through the me-
dunn of small monthly assessments. The
Government would have its deserving vet
Grams provided for, their places to be filed
by younger recruits. The clerks In gem
eral would feel encouraged by the pros
pect of something better than perjury in
their declining years. Another fear ex-
Illinois is that the experiment would nee
essarily collapse within twelve years. II
seems clear. however, that the initial
years would furnish the crucial test. mas
much as a much younger clerk would take
the place of each one retired. The ma
jority of the older clerks will have dis
appeared in few years. leaving but a
minimum number to be retired annually
thereafter. While there is no age limit
in the matter of eligibility for the civil
service examination. the vast majority OF
applicants are young graduates of high
schools and other places Of learning.

BEARS ON AN ICEBERG.
An Interesting sight Witnessed by .
Steamships Crew.
From the Baltimore News

Captain Eekhoff. OF the Dutch oil tank
steamship La Hebaye. in port from Rot
terdam, tells of an interesting sight he
witnessed on the voyage to Baltimore.
When his ship was off the Newfoundland
banks few days ago large iceberg was
sighted, and as the vessel drew nearer
four large polar bears were seen walking
about on a fiat portion of its surface.
They seemed much disturbed at the mo-
ton of the floating berg. and had doubt
less been caught on 1t when it became de-
taehed from the glacier of which it was
once a part in the Arctic regions. Captain
Eckhoff did not stop his ship to get shot
at the bears. and they will doubtless drown
when the berg gets into the warm waters
of the gulf stream and melts. as all float
ing icebergs do.

Agitation Against Woman. Suffrage.


The Massachusetts Association Opposed
to the Further Extension OF Suffrage to
Women is the decidedly cumbrous tit'e OF
an organization having its headquarters in
Boston, and publishing little four-page
paper called The Remonstrance' 1t is
not necessary, In discussing this asso1 iation
and its organ, TO go into the matter OF
womsn's suffrage IN itself. The question
has been threshed over for little more
than fifty years. and most Of the arguments
for and against such an innovation are
thoroughly familiar TO the public. 1t may
be said in a general way that such a change
in the existing order OF things will never
come unless there is a movement. practi-
cally unanimous among intelligent people,
in its favor; and nothing of the kind can
reasonably be anticipated at present.
The work OF such an association as this.
then. seems to be TO a great extent super
fuous. In its organ no new reasons are
advanced. no new information given which
can affect public sentiment. One of the
stock arguments here presented is that
women do not want the suffrage. and do
IOl u5t IL Nutu IL ID gwen
that in States where they have been AL
lowed to vote on certain questions, a
farther extension of the privilege has been
voted down. II this be true, II seems as il
there is no especial need Of cumbrous az
sociations for the purpose Of opposing The
suffrage movement 1t also seems slightly
Inconsistent for women frankly antagonis-
20 band themselves together for the purpose
of working publicly, by means Of newspa-
per articles, lobbying. and public speaking
against the woman's suffrage asso iations.
BY SO doing they lay themselves open 10
comment which their opponents will not
be slow to make.
The propriety OF giving women the right
10 vote, as has been said before, need not
be further discussed here. There is one
fact, however, which ought TO be remem-
bered in connection with the history o. the
woman's suffrage movement in this cCun-
try. The leaders of this agitation have GER
tainiy opened the way for women to enter
certain professions and secure certain priv
ileges, which we're formerly denied them.
The agitation had Its ridiculous and eccen-
trio side, but it did some good by stirring
up public sentiment and bringing 10 light
questions which needed 10 be Sc tied.
Fifty years ago no woman could study
medicine or practice law without running
the gauntlet of intensely hostile public
opinion. The woman's college was found
ed in. the face Of opposition to give to
women the advantages denied them by
mems colleges. When Lucy Stone ana
Susan b. Anthony spoke in public they
were stoned. pelted with mud. drenched
with cold water, and insulted in every way
that ignorance and prejudice could devise.
Even the columns Of reputable newspa-
pers asssiled them in terms that would
not have been used in the case of a re-
spectacle masculine politician. They and
their followers. however. refused to be
intimidated, and in course Of time the
public, becoming accustomed to the idea
OF women In semi-publsc life concluded
that 1t was too much trouble to carry on
