One James Walsh of Memphis, is

ment: all he would be out would be
his time, and he would surely get paid
for that, either with the scholarship
or In cash commissions.
Is that not a good opportunity We
think 1t is; We think any number OF
boys and young men in this county
would do well to embrace such an Op-
portunity as that.
Our second proposition H. this:
The Herald is short Of men TO do Its
work. Printers, proverbially, are a
rowing set; they come and 90. So
we have concluded to try to raise"
some homemade" printers. We
therefore have room in this once for
about three more young men, who
want to learn the printers trade and
the newspaper business. This once
Is Just the right size for young men
to learn in; and when they have grad
uated from this once. they are capa-
bic OF holding position on any OF the
large papers; and all-round good
printers are In demand at good wages;
anywhere from a15 to e2e per week.
In this ONCE a young man viii have
an advantage he can get In few coun-
try ofHces; that is, the opportunity |
to learn the Linotype machine; with
out which no young printer ought to
be satisfied. OF course at FIRST the |
wages would be small; barely enough
to live on; but quick, active, ambitious,
energetic boys could advance rapidly,
and as they advanced and made them
selves useful to the Herald, their
wages would be increased.
The condition of the country is
his: The professions are crowded,
while the trades need men. 1t is bet
er, therefore. for young man, I'M
ess he is exceptionally bright, and
las time to wait and money to sup
,ort himself while he is waiting, to
earn a trade, rather than profess
ion.
We would like to talk the matter
'ver with any young man of good
moral habits, with a good, common
chool education, who is ambitious
nd willing to work But boys, or
Dung men, who are utterly lacking in
ducation, or in morals, or in ambi-
lon, or in energy; those who want
ob with a big salary and small work
ttached, will kindly refrain from ap-
lying. n
This is an opportunity, and good !
ne, for the energetic, ambitious

Patterson himself. in his unguardeC
moments, has said things of Senator
Taylor that are the reverse OF compli
mentary. Some OF the estimates made
on the mind and character of Senator
Taylor by Col. Duncan Brown Cooper
and Gen. Tully Brown and the Hon
Benton McMillin and his picturesque
brother John and others Of the Patter'
son political household, might not
make very pleasant reading to Sena.
ator Taylor's friends.
While it is not true that Mr.. Car
macks friends have waged any war on
Senator Taylor, 1t is true that the Pat
terson crowd have kept up TRADE OF
vulgar and scurrilous abuse on Car
mack. From the first they seem to
have feared that Mr.. Carmack might
in some way interfere with their polit-
icaI program. The Memphis Com
mercial Appeal could hardly wait for
the governors race to end before max
ing a vindictive and malicious attack
upon him. The American showed a
like eagerness in the matter of the
Ripper bill. II assailed Mr.. CaTmack
viciously and vindictively for oppos-
ing a local measure" yet long before
Mr.. Carmack came on the scene the
American knew that Ex-Gov. Benton
McMillin was working day and night
to pass this odious measure; 1t knew
that Senator Taylor was personally
soliciting votes for it; it knew that
the l.. & N railroad was working for
it-but not one word of criticism for
them. The American also knew-it
had Gov Patterson's own word for 1t
that this measure was conceived in
political hatred of Mr. Carmack.
War to the DEATH said the Cover
nor 1t knows, or ought to know, that
wherever they thought it safe to do |
it the advocates of this bill urged that
it would "cut Carmacks throat The |
American thought it was all right for
the Patterson-McMillin crowd to en-
gage in this sort of business, but Car
mack must be vindictively assailed for
against it. When the
American learns to be "a little more |
Just and a little less partisan and
in it's own criticisms, it will
be in a better position TO give free

EFFEsT OF WOMEN VOTING.
British Writer Tells of Conditions In
New Zealand.

New Zealand was the first British
colony to adopt women's suffrage
as far back as 1885," says writer in
the London Chronicle. The New
Zealand woman was given universal
adult suffrage. Though she had not
sought it, she immediately used 1t.
Out of 100000 women 100000 had
placed themselves on the register in
few months, and 10000 voted in the
general election of November, 1898.
They voted peacefully and in order
during the day while the men were
at work, and left the booths to the
men in the evening. They have voted
with similar regularity and orderli-
ness ever since. How do the women
use their powers? Very calmly, by
all accounts. Roughly, women make
very much the same use of the fran
chise as do men. The result has not
produced either new heaven or a
new hell. Men have not been de-
prived of their rights. There has
been no disorder or unseemly behav-
ior--no strange revolution in dress or
manners. Acknowledgement has led
neither to divided households nor d.
vidcd skirts. Families, as mat
ter of fact, generally vote on the
same side. But on the other hand

an interesting feature OF a mill at
Preston, England. Air Is drawn in at
