Washington, May S.-The members of
the house today voted themselves $1W
ier monin tor cierk hire during the re
cess or congress. Under a resolution
passed by the Fifty-second congress, the
members of subsequent congresses re-
eivcu iuu per month ror clerk hire dur
ing the sessions. Today the proposition
to extend this allowance to members dur
ing the recesses of congress came up In
the form of the Hnrtman resolution, ad
versely reported from the committee on
nccounty. It occasioned some very sharp
debate.
It had the support of Cannon, chairman
of the appropriations committee, but was
opposed by Dlngley, the floor leader of
the majority. Aldrlch said It would In
volve an additional expenditure of I2l6,d00
per annum. The resolution was amended
so as to except members who are chair
men of committees having annual clerks,
and as amended was passed 130 to 108.
An analysis of the vote shows that lit
Republicans, 15 Democrats and 1 Hiiv.-i.

The legal and civil disabilities of wora.
an are a violation of human h -ht.
odious abuse of power on the part of
the strong,' with the cruel ailvn nni

Women are Just as capable of Judging
and determining the use of Ju and
equitable laws as men are. and have a
strong love of country, and as exalted
ana pure patriotism as men have.
Woman has from the long centuries ot
Inability to earn for herself, been eom.
pelled to economise the money grudging-
u uuieu. ur ireeiy given, and she will
carry into the national household her
spirit of economy and order, her love of
detail, and hate of waste and foolish ex
pense, will reform government, and sup-
.iit3o murvum ana accumulation of of
fices, will produce much from little In
stead of like men, producing little from
much: and the poor tax-payer will not
find fault with the change.
The negro always feels that his chance
for securing Justice Is Increased by hav
ing one of his own race on the Jury It
tried for crime, or suspicion of crime,
yet woman Is made amenable to lows,
nnd tried, even punished by death, un
der laws to which her consent has never
been asked or given: It Is declared "men
shall ba tried by a Jury of their peers"
she is tried by a Jury of masters by
right of both sex and law: deprived of
the ballot she has no means of protec
tion against legal or Judicial injustice
Possessed of the voting power they will
stand before the law equal with men,
and will be able to not only redress their
own wrongs, but to vote for purer men
if women go to the polls, the better class
of men will go-those who aro now con
spicuous by their absence, and have by
their neglect turned municlDal r-o.-.m.
ments over to a class of men with whom
nicy wouiu not entrust a purae for ten
seconds.
Under such conditions every evil has
been fostered, that will drag down and
ruin the youth of the land, for sons
roilow the father's example, oftener than
the mother's counsel when they pass
from under their control.
