1.-THE WORLD 30 MOVE"
Believes Ia Equal Rights Happy Over
the Outlook FOr the New Year
and the Future.

The New Year opens with bright
prospects for the cause Of equal
rights. The progress that it has
made in the minds of thoughtful
women the world over was conspic-
uously shown last summer at the
international Council OF Women in
Berlin There representatives of
the Women's Councils Of twenty ma
tions by a unanimous vote endorsed
the principle of equal suffrage, and
of one moral standard for men and
women.
Public opinion in favor Of equal
rights is growing in every State Of
the Union. In every direction the
old barriers that for ages have hedg
ed women in are crumbling away.
And each time that a woman takes
a fresh prize or is admitted to a new
occupation, each time the bars are
taken down, in the church, in edu-
cation, in industry or in the pro
fessions, the announcement is well
coined by the press as a triumph Of
the modern spirit over medieval
ism. There are still some medieval
minded editors who indulge in sueers
and lamentations over each advance.
but they are the exceptions, and
serve as text for jokes to the more
progressive majority.
Our canse is helped even by the
sad and tragic features Of he year
which arc making women think. and
wish earnestly for more power I'm
order to put a stop to such iniquit
les and cruelues. They are also
leading thoughtful men To realize
more and more the need Of having
the motherly and humane element
adequately represented in the gov
eminent Of the world
All sufrsgists are rejoicing over
the signal victory achieved in re
gard to she Statehood Bill. In con
sequence ofthe womcn's widespread
protest The clause has been stricken
out that mentioned sex as a political
disability to be properly ranked
with illileraoy, imbecility, lunacy
and crime Verify, "thc world do
move" And next year il will have
moved on still farther.

OUR washington LETTER.
Mitchell Of Oregon Back In Senate
After Being Out Thirty Years.
President Roosevelt Getting Ready 10
Take u Fall Out OF the Civil
Service Business.
From our regular correspondent


WASHtNGroN DC. Jan. "a, 1905
1t is nip and tuck between society
and politics in Washington at this
season and the race will 60 on till
Congress and Society pass under
the wire on the fourth OF March
next and when the season will end
with a great parade and an inaugu.
raj ball. Heretofore the soldiers
fro m III c surrounding States
have been quar,ered in the different
department buildings. These have
been closed against them and it is
proposed 20 give them a taste of
the horrors Of war by quartering
them in tents with plank floors
warmed by patent stoves and fur
nishing with sleeping cots, folding
chairs and bath tub.
SIS
The Presidents term in his own
right will begin at noon on the
Fourth of March next. He will be
no longer under the sacred behest
of carrying out the policy of Nc
Klnley, whatever that policy may
have been. But il his edge has not
been dulled by the routine and
humdrum OF office the country may
expect the liveliest administration
in its history.
ttt
The most interesting ep isode OF
the week has been the defense of
Senator Mitchell by himself on the
floor Of the Senate. Thirty three
years ago this same Senator Nit
cheli was the youngest Senator and
served at that time with Morton of
Indiana, Thurman OF Ohio, Conk-
ling Of New York, Andrew John son
OF Tennessee, mighty shades long
since dead. About two years ago
he was returned to the Senate from
Oregon and after an absence of
twenty five years he is again on the
Senate floor, among the ghosts Of
his old confreres. He has been
charged with pushing through a
patent, using his Senatorial in
Auence and getting paid therefrom,
a bribe Of two thousand dollars.
The evidence against him is most
positive provided convicted a. nd
sentenced witness can be believed.
Your correspondent heard his de-
fense which was little more than an
impassioned denial Of having re-
ceived any money for his efforts in
getting through the land claim.
His denial appears to have been
effective in convincing his friends
of his innocence but to have no
Influence over those not predisposed
in his favor.

aged clerks and a system of pen
sions for those long in the service
"A delegation waited on the Presi.
dent to know il he had anything to
communicate and his laconic reply
that his communication on the
subject of Civil Service reform
would be in his work, was doubtless
significant Of what he is now doing
and will do. a number OF persons
have been informed that their re.
signations would not be refused and
1t is almost certain that the long
hoped for improvement of a service
which with the exception of that Of
Russia and China is the most cor
rupt and moribund on the planet
will be accomplished.
My charges against the Civil Ser
vice OF the United States doubtless
seem extravagant and exaggerated
to far of, Wholesale admirers OF our
Government and to those who inn
agine that it is impossible for the
stars and stripes to float over any
thing that is not entirely and purely
good. But 10 those who have been
behind the scenes, who have seen
the greasy ropes and pulleys by
which splendid stage effects are pro-
duced, persons receiving the pay
no service in fact that might not
just as well be undone. They are
the rellcts and relatives and friends
and henchmen Of members and
Senators and Cabinet ministers,
some of them long since dead and
some of them still In Washington
and influential. The present sys-
tenn of appointment under Civil
Service examination will doubtless
result, IN time, in publication and
improvement of the service, but
why should the Government have
to wait a quarter Of a century for
this improvement and purihcation,
when thousands of well equipped
and competent persons are ready
to take the places of these incap-
ables ? The Government work in
many departments is far in arrears
simply because these people APP
pointed by favor will not work,
have never worked and do not know
how to work.

PRETTY LARGE FEES
In the oliver Case-the Matter is In
Court at Parkersburg.

The January term of the United
States Circuit Court opened last
week with Judge Jackson on the
bench. Prior to the calling OF the
criminal docket matter from the
district court was taken up and in
fact il took at intervals nearly the
whole time Of the Court for the day.
This was an objection that was
raised by attorneys for some of the
creditors and Others, in the bank
ruptcy matter of the A. &. Oliver
Lumber Company of Morganiown,
to report of Referee Summmerville
Of Grafton, in which he made the
allowances for the receiver, attor.
neys for the receiver and the at
torney for the petitioning creditors,
incidentally the fees for the referee
himself we're involved. The fees
allowed by referee to the receiver
and attorneys amounted to some
thing over SrI, 900 and these we're
based upon work done IN handling
property OF from three TO five hun.
drcd thousand dollars in value.
This valuation was placed by wit
nesses who gave depositions before
the referee and others for the pur.
pose Of ascertaining the value for
fees.
The attorneys who objected TO
all this, claim that the property in
volved will not exceed $3.50, 600
and IN fact stated that it was offer
ed for sale at this figure; further
that they had no notice that il was
the desire Of the referee to take any
evidence as to the value Of the pro-
perty beyond what appeared in the
records and that the allowance that
had been recommended by the re-
feree were not only eXorbitant but
that on the valuation that he was
working on his fees o + one per cent
upon the value Of the property in
volved would be far in excess Of
what they iightfully should be. It
was further set up as an objection
the receiver had made no report as
70 what property was in his hands
to the credit Of tho bankruptcy es-
tate.
After much srugment Judge Jack
son directed that the whole matter
be left open until next Saturday,
and that in the meantime the re.
ceiver fle a detailed report.
NJ. j.. Post OF Grafton appeared
in defense Of the referees report
and himself he having been employ
ed by the receiver as personal coun.
sell and Rufus Holden Of King
wood, who was attorney for the
petilioning creditors in the case
also appeared IN defense Of the re.
port Opposing it we're p. J. Gro

LOFrIGST TOWN IN THE STATE.

The Elkins Inter Mountain SAYS ::
The West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company is building a town on the
top Of Cheat Mountain in Pocahon-
tas county. This mountain is very
high, possibly $500 feet Only
spruce timber grows up there be-
cause it is so cold. The town is
called Spruce and is to have g hotel
OF forty rooms aud a considerable
number Of residences, stores. etc.
Large mills Tor peeling bark from
the spruce wood are 10 be located
there and it is to be a busy place
and the loftiest town in the State.
All winter the snow lays there and
most any night the thermometer
drops down 20 zero. In the spring
all the snow has gone from the
Greenbrier Valley long before il
begins to melt on Cheat and il Is
sometimes late in summer before il
entirely disappears from beneath the
dense growth Of this valuable, but
rather scarce timber The top Of
Cheat mountain stands superlatively
above The neighboring mountains.
The spruce timber can be seen
fringing It's crest for a great distance.
There is a dip on the very top Of
the moantain something like that
made by pressing in a hat crown.
ln This DIP is Cheat river and a
strange and weird country IS formed
By this depression Until the Pulp
company purchased this land and
began cutting the spruce, not a hu.
man habitauon nor living soul
could be fond there. IL was the
furthest away country in all this
eastern world, and noiseless save
for the sighing Of The winds. What
and ideal spot for a consumptive
sanitarum.

that saved the country and elected
