THE LEGISLATURE.
Special Correspondence.)

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan 29.-
Governor Dawson and his admin
istration are up against the real
thing, and it is going to require
some mighty fine work on the
part of the legislature to rescue
them from their peril. They find
themselves face to face with q
condition that cannot be satisfied
by any theorizing, nor avoided
by any sort of lodging. The
treasury is going to be hundreds
of thousands of dollars short of
the amount of money necessary
to meet the demands made upon
it, and the question is how to get
it. The auditor has reported to
the governor and the governor
has reported it to the legislature,
that the revenue for general state
purposes under the present laws
cannot go over 100000 a year,
and as everybody knows the ap-
preparations have been more than
that, it is easy for anybody to see
that something must be done
But to say that the amount OF
money possible to raise is SO and
SO, is not TO tell how very grave
the situation is. The auditors
statement is based upon present
conditions. Now every West
Virginian knows that there ls a
law upon the statute books which
removes the tax for general State
purposes after the present taxing
year, and as it amounts now to
$500,000, when it comes off the
general revenue will be further
short by that much. Let US see.
The money that can be raised
now, according to Auditor Scherr,
is $1,350,00O a year. The last
legislature made appropriations
amounting to 81, 100000 a year.
This would leave a deficit of
S15O,OOO, in case the revenue
stays as now, and the appropria
tions reached no higher this time
than two years ago But the ap-
preparations must go higher this
year, for two years ago there was
next to nothing providing for
building and permanent improve
ments, and there are some de-
mands for that sort of thing this
time that cannot be put off. It
is safe to say that the appropria-
tions will reach s1,7OO,OOO for
each of the next two years. This
will leave a deficit of S350,000 a
year, even if revenues are lett us
now. But when the State tax
comes off, the revenue will be
s500,000 less than now, and the
deficit will be that much larger,
or S850,000 in all Now the ques-
tion that disturbs the guberna-
torial mind is where to get the
money. Dawson in his biennial
told the legislature where
some of it might be found, but
even if all the subjects of taxa
ton mentioned by him are at
tacked and made topay reason
able amount, the sam total will
fall good deal short of the
amount necessary to be made up.
Governor Dawson realizes the
condition, and also realizes the
fact that he cannot further con-
ceal the real state of things. lie
is therefore calling in the men,
bers one by one and telling them
of the situation, and imploring
them to help him and his admin
stration out of the hole. He con-
tesses to each one, as though the
confession were to be made tol
be made to none other, the fact
that the State will run 100000
behind, and calls upon him as a
and more especially as al

Hritishers Do No. FIat.sr.

A Boston lady who had been re-
ceiyed with much favor by the Folk
lore society in London rather ques-
toned the sincerity of her warm re-
ception and said she supposed, like
the French people, the English fiat
ter. "Not at all" was the protest
of London friend. "You need not
consider it possible for an English
person to f1atter." And then she
gave an instance. Some one looking
at a painting said to the artist whose
picture it was, 'tIt isn't so bad, you
know" "Now don't be fulsome,"
was the reply-Boston Herald.

Women on the Farm.

Farmers wives as rule d.
more work in year than can b,
credited to their husbands. WhiI,
there is an important difference il
the work performed, making al
accurate comparison impossible
it will be generally agreed that th,
farm women folks have the hard
er row to hoe. Inventive genius
and good times have done less fol
them than for their huubands, but
in the last decade gratifying prog
ress has been made in their eman
cipation from some forms of druid
gerry Itis an ugly commentary
en- our civilization that farmers
wives do more work, hsve less re
creation and receive scantier re-
ward in culture or more material
compensation than perhaps any
other class of female workers.
Too much work is demanded of
the hand that rocks the. cradle
Homekeepers are too often busy
outside their legitimate sphere.
Farm women are participating too
literally in partnership work and
sharing too lightly in it's returns
An inspection of their kitchens,
wherein much of their time is
spent. would compel the accep
tsnce of this view Very few farm
homes, especially the kitchens, are
properly equipped to serve their
important purposes Anticipated,
inconvenient furnishings and uten-
sils are eyesores and women killers
in hundreds of fern homes whose
owners are ample able to replace
them with modern appointments.
A comparison of the wife's facili-
ties and equipment for her work
with those of her husband for his
work would show that in the ma
joritY of cases the latter had de.
oidedly the better of the bargain.
The situation should be changed.
Farm wives should come in for a.
iarger share of the fruits of their
labor Modern conveniences and
more time for social enjoyments
will be far more acceptable and
beneficial to them than expensive
funerals and costly monuments.
Their dividends ought to be in
proportion to their service. AS
partners they are entitled to an
.qual share of the profits resultant
from the combined work of hus.

Every farmer who has prosper
ed owes his success largely to his
wife. This is not sentimental gal.
lantry but a frank statement of
fact In view to this it is surpris-
ing that farm women are coming 30
slowly into their own. Better days
are approaching, however. With
farm mortgages being paid off,
with the development of interur-
ban railways, with the extension of
rural mail delivery and telephones,
with the wolf driven forever away
from the door, there is every reas.
on to expect the dawn of an era
