Ida NJ. Tarbell on Woman's
place i'm the World,

IL Is not too much to say to-day
that women in this country can get
anything majority of them really
want and the individual can practice
any trade of profession or art without
let or hindrance. All this has come
about and without decreasing the
number Of marriages, destroying the
home--or the club; limiting masculine
freedom or reducing the profits of the
dressmaker and milliner,
Established things remain as they
we're, yet something has happened
Is it not mainly that we have utilized
Ia active work the large number OF
women who heretofore, through q
failure to marry-or to succeed II
marrlage--found themselves with ne
congenial occupation or interest opet
TO them, and so doomed to lives Of in
action, or proiitless action, and Otter
OF dire poverty? That large class o
women who forty years ago were de
nominated old maids, class whom
everybody pitied or laughed at ant
for whom there seemed no opening
but death has largely passed away

COMMERCIAL FREEDOM.

The Milwaukee Free Press In Its
issue OF Monday morning, March a,
comes out uucompromisingly against
the policy OF high protection and de-
mands merely tariff reduction. Says
the Free Press
'In tho Republican party. the sponsor OF
the tariff thinking men arc beginning to say
We have had enough OF this; let us control
tho tariff, not DO enslaved by IL, Men OF wide
business interests. like lssac stephenson

advocating more than II revision-a recon
attraction OF the tariff, upon the double prin-
ciple Of letting In raw materials free ana

CITY ELECTIONS.

1t Is less than four weeks until
spring election day, Tuesday, April 2,
but as yet no nomination papers have
been filed In Mineral Point four
aldermen and four supervisors are to
be elected. The city needs for these
positions the best men that Is posi-
to secure: and their selection ought
not to 20 by default. While it is al
ways important TO elect capable worthy
men to official positions, the need OF
such men at this time Is perhaps great
err than ever before. The signs OF the
times are so plain that a child can
understand that the city is facing q
greater future. The present growth
should be rightly directed, and the in
terests OF the city should be subserved
by an able and patriotic administra-
tion OF municipal affairs. Citizens
give the selection Of your officers
careful attention. II Is unlikely that
there will be any caucus for consulta-
ton; but the matter might be talked up
at the Commercial club, the Twilight
club, and every other organization In
town, to the end that we may have the
best local self government

The Greater Wrong.

Hudson True Republicans: From the
apparent ease with which the reduc-
tion In passenger fare Is about to take
place, change OF one sixth does not
cause great shock In railroad circles
IL would seem that WAS II sufficient cut
TIL tho effect has had time to be tested
and II conditions will permit another
slice can be made. 1t Is not n case OF
the gates of reform being shut upon
the public. The commission is still In
power; II Is watching the results care
fully. II conditions will permit, 1t
can order further cut TO two cents II
mile. In the meantime the matter is
one OF business and not of politics.
Political parties should wait while
for results. II the legislature attempts
to interfere 1t will seem like n radical
move, one that would show undue
haste, n want of confidence in the com
mission, and, what is worse, u danger
OF getting up against the courts. We
hope the democrats will not take too
radical n view on this question, They
have made mistakes on both sides OF
the railroad issue. There is Il place
between the corporate interests and
the socialists which belongs to tn,
democrats. They should hold it, Tn,
country is wronged more by forty
per cent tariff than by that half cen
on the passenger fare.

There are only sufficient funds on

Beard Amendment Carter Resolution Knocked Out in
the House-Strenuous Scrap Regarding
Employment of Counsel by Pro-
posed Committee of Inquiry.
Special 70 The Journal

Tallahassee, Fla, Apr. 10.-After an
hours hard fight this morning, with
brilliant parliamentary tactics employed
and a great deal or oratory. the house
voted, by thirty-eight to twenty-five
ON roll call. to reconsider and refuse
to concur in the Beard amendment to
the Carter resolution. though the
Adams amendment was readOpted
unanimously.

taking up from the table the motion
to reconsider the concurrence made
yesterday The first test of strength
showed twenty-three to twenty nine,
and three roll calls were taken on
the various motions. Calkins, Carter,
Wilson. of fernando and Willis, Of
Levy. spoke against the employment
of counsel by the committee to inves-
tigate the internal improvement fund,
while Watson, McWilliams, Reese,
Smith, and knight, of Citrus, opposed
the reconsideration. Reese said in his
speech that he believed Governor
Broward to be as honest j man as
there was in Florida, but thought the
amendment necessary for the work OF
The committee.
A brilliant speech against the EN-.
ployment OF counsel was made by HaT-
ris, of Duval. who declared himself op-
posed to drainage. but said the inVes-
tigation was another matter.
Bagget voted with the majority and
Reese and Speaker Matthews with the
minority all the way though, Reese
making q motion on final vote to con,
cur in the Beard amendment, which
was lost.
In the senate the Beard resolution
proposing an amendment to the state
constitution restricting suffrage to
whites was reported fayorably and
made a special order for Tuesday.
