FICIDAY MAY II 1883
The Tewksbury drag is getting more and
morel painful.
There are Irish hopes that Carey the in-
former will stumble upon Eoglish justice.
Commissioner Baum's painful resignation
having no grounds excepting his inability to
support nine children on $6ooo a year calls
for more civil service reform. Children must
cat.
Plymouth church has another scandal
but as Mr. Ik-cchcr has some way shot
around it probably because the lady is over-
ajje being 52 it has very little sensational
character. We pass it.
TlIR Chilian occupation of I'eru is a melan-
choly interlude. The national life is crushed
out and in its place a gloomy sense of deso-
lation covers everything with its blight. It is
the withering curse of conquest and the worst
is that its end is not in sight.
Electrical matters are moving. The pos-
tal telegraph is perfecting its plans for afford-
ing a creat and comprehensive news and com-
mercial system to the people. The whole
postal structure of the Government is becom-
ing more and more a wonder and delight.
TUB WOMAN QUESTION.
A pamphlet before ui of Dr. Dix on the
woman question is remarkable for its plain
cogent common sense which discourses on
that subject rarely are. The Lyceum is bet-
ter than the pulpit for grappling with this
woman fanaticism because the screaming of
the woman element in congregations is fear-
ful. That woman's alotted place in society
should be matter of dispute is calculated to
excite the wonder ol any one excepting a
woman fanatic ; and when we come to see and
comprehend that to the fanatical woman the
subject of woman's fanaticism so transforms
the creature woman that die looks to her to
be accurately adapted to men's work in place
of her own ; we go off into new paroxisms of
wonder as to what sort of malady woman's
fanaticism is.
We shall place ourselves in the light by let-
ting in from our author's pamphlet the follow-
ing strong and sound sentences :
Tho place and work of woman In this world
are then a place and work In social llfo. And
her place and work nro uot thoso of tho mini
Ills wok lies outside hers within. Without
lior society could not have existed; without
her It cannot last. Tho fact that In forming
society man und woman have distinct pnrts
Implies this that In maintaining mid develop-
ing their work they shall continue to act In
distinct relations to it. Something there shall
lw which man only can do : something which
woman only can do. If she Icavo hor own
work and try to take up his her work will ro-
inaln undono; for man Is not fool enough to
try to do hers. And her work Is Inner rather
than ouler; It runs In the Hue of ordering
comforting and beautlfylnir. Her place Is In
tho homo llrst nod then In general society;
and thesd depend on her for n Kraee a help a
harmony a good ordering- which no onu elso
can (five
How f imply and crandly these pleasant ytt '
weighty words elucidate the woman question
She is dropped exactly in her place by the
home hearth among the garden flowers
where the children sing and romp where th
kindly neighbor calls confident ol a watm
greeting from a sweet wife and mother where
the pastor calls and the schoolmaster who
has perhaps recently taken charge of the
village academy and is making himself ao
quaintcd with the parents of the vicinity and
all are received with a warm hearted welcome.
All realize that this is a home. Before any
are aware that time has so llown tea is an
nounced and as if by concerted action who
should enter but the master of the household
returning from his day's business lo that hap
py home. To him the idle show of wealth
the empty bruit of fame the pomp and glare
of station are as the wind that sings its mad
igrals in the trees or the starry gleams that
fall upon him from other worlds unheeded
and unsought.
Now this wife might have been out. She
might have gone to a woman suffrage meet'
ing. Or it might be an election day and she
had not returned from her poll ; or she might
be a lawyer and have been detained in court ;
or a physician and gone to sec a patient and
the children might have strayed to a neigh
bor's and the house been alone. Whatever
or wherever this hostess might have been it
is obvious that there was but one place and
one condition that should have known her
and that these are just where the neighbor
and paster and pedagogue found her and
met the greeting which consecrates for all
time and every land the blessed unity of home
and woman. Women who affect masculinity
and propose tn apply themselves to masculine
uses who infest themselves with visions of
study thought emplo)mcnt or any career in
places outside of woman's own proper sphere
are as to themselves converting life into n
restless and uneasy dream and
to mankind working against the best
interests and happiness of the human race
We hope this country will soon find access
to a generation of women that will nestle
loyally and fondly into these ideal precincts
adapted to their refined and affectionate nature
will vacate literature and art the professions
and occupations and be simply and sweetly
women; and then .there will be no more
women fanatics but the sublime influence of
the sexual charm will foster homes every-
where and bring into ascendancy such men as
will fill the land with them and cover all
womanly natures with the love and protection
of a universal husbandhood and brotherhood.

What Has lleen Done In the I'm t IV hut
Is Still Doing.
Nearly 20000 miles it is estimated will be
added to the United States railway system by
the close of the present year. Last year it
was about the same. In 1SS1 more than
8000000a were spent on the building of
railroads. All parts of the Republic contrib-
uted to the enormous total of activity. The
Pacific States are the youngest of the sister-
hood; yet even their gross earnings for 1881
were a full foutth more lhan 1880. The New
England States and the Southern States being
among the oldest are also among the least
progressive the former from topographical
the latter from moral and historical causes
liut the gross earnings of the New England
lines show some augmentation and those of
'.he Southern lines an immense increase. The
Middle States are in the flush of their enercv.
and their material circumstances still allow of
expansion. They demonstrate it by the leap
in a sinele 12-month of the takicus of their
railway companies from 40.000000 to about
4b 000000. As nrght be expected Irom
the general condition of the Western States
they outrun in this particular the achievements
of all the rest. They were paid for goods and
passengers in 18S1 18000000 more
than in 1SS0. In the figures for all the five
sections into which the Republic is popularly
divided the gross earnings for freight and the
conveyance of mails surpass the amount of
passengers' fares. In the New England
states they are more than half as much again.
In the Southern States the proportion is not
very different. In the Middle States with
their vast and restless population and com-
paratively stationary agriculture the railway
receipts for goods traffic were nevertheless be-
tween two-thirds and three-fourths larger than
for passenger carriage. It is the same and
with less cause for surprise with the returns
of the Western lines. Again in the Pacific
States as might equally have been anticipated
Roods are more abundant than passengers.
The Pacific companies earn by goods
and mails more than double their receipts for
the transportation of passengers. The chief
ground for wonder is that the population of
these new lands should have (pent in 1881
more than a couple of millions sterling on
railway tickets.
Texas School I.:ind8.
General Land Commissioner Walsh is in
receipt of a number of applications from up
North for agencies for the sale of school
lands in which connection he wishes it ex-
plained that the law providing for such agents
don't go into effect unlil July 13. It will be
two months before the Board will have any-
thing to say on the question. Applications
will simply remain on file till the Hoard meet.
As Comptroller Swain's circular published
sometime ago on the subject has been mis-
construed in some instances especially by
parties in St. Louis Chicago and other dis-
tant points he desires It to be explained that
in all cases where lands have been sold and
bought in by the State for taxes and two
years have expired from date of sale the
lands can not now be redeemed on or before
January I lie will forward to tax collectors
of counties where the lands are situated lists
of all such lands which will be sold by the
collectors after due notice as required by law.
At the tales owners will have a chance to re-
..... nrQvfde'dIn other .. Tlv h
