THE people are slowly awakening
from their Kip Wrinkle sleep
and ar. beginning TO realize that it
pays to make protest ior good
government and lower tax rate.
The time is ripe. we think, when
such movement of the people. ir.
respective of party, is due, to form
citizens committee 10 demand
that all public waste OF money
shall cease We wapt the affairs
OF the city and county SO admins
tered that the people will rot 90 to
the tax otfte and feel that they are
being robbed when they pay their
taxes. Never has there been i uet-
ter opportunity than the present
ior protest against the lax meth
ods OF conducting the affairs OF our
Municipality. IN effort should be
made whereby the citys revcnue
can be increased without lcyvIur
an additional burden upon those
owning real estate in the city OF
Wilmington. Taxation should be
equalized as much IS possible and
the present generation should not
be compelled to foot the bill. for all
the provements made by our Levy
Court and the Street and Sewer De
par!ment during the past two or
three years.
II the next generatl on have TO
pay for the improvements in pro-
norton to the tax rate now levied
pn the real estate In this city, they
will be driven crazy or protest
against owning any real estate in
Wilmington. The remedy is with
The people, and If they are lax in
their duty, it Will be the same thing
year after year If the people do
not care, the powers that be do not
care, and laugh in their sleeve at
the slick way they fool the people.
A beginning has been made and
it is hoped the good work may he
kept up until the people are afford
ed the necessary relief Good men
should beput forward for office and
supported by the people, irrespec-
tive Of party. The opportunity IS
nov ripe for the formation OF a
Citizen League, which shall be
composed of representative men of
both parties aud then only can the
object be accomplished looking to a
lower tax rate. A public office is
. public trust and not a place to
rob the treasury.

doubtless this is true Seriously, it can
not be denied that there are mistresses
who are asOnable and that there aT9
servants bed rooms 50 poorly ventllatcu
and SO small that they ought never to be
occupied.
There are women of such tempera rnent
and of such lack of consideration and
refinement that they never should have
authority over anyone but there are also
male employers Of the same kind IN
both Instances they get poor grade 0f
not have to work for them-they can
get more satisfactory places. With these
the volunteer union organizers are hay
ing great success. But 10 get competent
ones they must have some sort Of a grad
ed system. The good cooks and the train
ed housemalds object (metaSnOTically
speaking) to being put in bag with the
girls VINO don't know a card tray from
a dust pan and then shaken up to get
an average. They don't see Wnere they
are going to gain anything by the pro-
cess. In fact, it looks very much as II
the scheme would benefit the incompetent
at the expense of the competent. and
how are they to be graded? There Xod
have a question that would turn Solo-
mons hair gray. Who would nave the
hardwood to tell any of the girls that
they do not belong in the first grade
that they must be content with the sec
ond, third or fourth? And what would
happen to the proposed organization il
this distinction were made:
Yet it looks as if something of this
good servants, the union would be a mere
farce. Still. there is no telling how far
energy and enthusiasm may carry the
plan, eeyn if the outlook is not particu-
larry bright at present. There is no doubt
that the rianS will have to be modified
a good deal and tat any organization pc
fected viii be largely experimental The
conditions are such that the promoters
have little to guide them.
But we will come out all right in the
end, asserted Miss Becker the shoe girl
when asked about the matter I'VE NAV
have to make some changes in our plans
in order to meet the unusual or-itjOrg,
but everything viii be adjusted salts
and beneficial one. The girls are not
treated as they should be, and they never
will be until they are in a position to en-
force their demands.
Our idea is to better their conditions,
to see tnat they are properly trea ted.
decently paid and not oYerworked; and
they are beginning to look very faVorably
on the scheme. At first~t they didn't IN
derstand it, but now they do and in con-
sequence we are gaining every day
ants before we are through. AS for the
rules and methods of procedure the de-
tails are not fully worked out yet. There
arc many points that call for thoughtful
consideration. but it's sure thing tnat
the girls will receive better treatment
than ever before
But George Geary. who as superintend-
ent of free employment agency For do
mestics and delegate of the BriCsse and
Structural Iron Workers union, is per-
haps as wen qualified as any one to dis
cuSS the subject, shakes his head doubt
fully. AS a union man he is in favor of
unions; as an employment official he sees
complications ahead.
They will find" he says, that they
have undertaken one OF the biggest jobs
of the century"

WOMEN IN WASHINGTON.

1t is only in recent years that women
have been employed in considerable num-
bers N the public service. 1t is now
generally recognized that they can sue
cessfully perform the duties of many OF
the subordinate places, and they have
often shown eminent fitness and high
quality in their work. In 1870 an act Of
congress provided that women might in
tment, be appointed to any of the clerk
ships in the. department upon the same
requisites and conditions and with the
same compensation, as prescribed for
men, This magma charta for women In
the civil service is recognized in the civil
service rules, which make no discrimina-
ton on account Of sex.
From July l6, 1889 to June 80, 1900 there
were appointed in the classified service in
the departments at Washington, through
competitive examination, 2,0H feIEties.
This number included 1850 printers as
sist9nts in the bureau of engraving and
printing at a compensation of 81 % per
dielu which is the lowest salary paid to
women in the classified service. About
one third OF all the employees in the de-
partments of Washington are females;
they are employed mostly in ordinary
clerical capacity, although many &c Or
cal positions are filed by them L zTee
about sixty receive 81 500 per annum; 100
receive 81, 400 per annum; 450 receive 81, 200;
200 receive $l,000 and the remainder re-
eeiVe from $500 to $500 per annum..
A fair comparison of the progress
made by women in the government en-
ploy since the enactment of the civil
received and number employed is in the
state department. Office of the secreta ry,
which has probably employed the fewest
women of any office in the departments.
In 1883 there were ten women employed,
and the highest salary received was
$780, there icing b;lt one who was PAID
that amount. In 1889, in the same o.fice,
there We're seventeen women; the highest
salary was 81 O; there were several at
$l.400 and others at 81. 200 per annum,
while the lowest salary was 500. OF the
