The Governor of Virginia tias vetoed a
bill to allow women to serve as notaries',
on constitutional grounds. If a woman
may be a colonel, and serve upon the staff

not mistaken, there is a colonel in skirts

Ex-Gov. St. John of Kansas has been
turned out of the executive committee of
the ’‘Liberty party,” the name of the Pro
hibition party in Kansas. Whether this
action was taken because he recently sign
ed a petition for the grunting of a liquor
license, or because he has Indorsed Bryan
and free silver for 1900, is a mooted ques
tion. At any rale the people who once
elected him to the Governorship have now
turned their backs upon him.
Dr. Makuen of the Philadelphia Poly
clinic, in a lecture the other day, asserted
that defects of speech were more Injuri
ous to the health than straining the eye.
Speech strains, he said, affect the nerv
ous system far more than eye strains.
Speech defects have a deleterious effect
upon the general health of the sufferer,
and especially upon the mental ’condition
of the patient. Speech may be regarded
as the mind's most efficient tool—the thing
with which the mind does its work. The
mind is consequently deprived of an im
portant stimulus to activity when It is
difficult for it to employ Its chief working
instrument.
ilt is estimated that there are not less

takes care of men at a remarkably r<a
sonublc rate. The woman’s hotel is to
contain 825 rooms, and the cost of board
etld lodging will average about $6 per week
Bach an establishment would be a boon
to the honest, hard-working, cnerg tie
young women who now have to get along

Our Shipbuilding Interests.
We shall no; do much more in the way
I of ship building than we are doing now or
make much more progress in our efforts to
carry our foreign commerce in our own
ships as long as we adhere to our pres
ent navigation laws. Because our few ship
builders insist that vessels built abroad
shall not have American registry and fly
the American flag pretty nearly all of our
foreign commerce is carried In foreign
ships. A little change in our navigation
laws would give us an immense fleet of
ships owned by Americans, and would
largely increase our ship building inter
< -is. We can build ships in this country
as cheaply as they can be built in
other, and we should build them not only
for our own use, but also for other coun
tries if Congress would only disregard the
jioliey of protection and let our people
buy ships in the cheapest market.
ii requires no more skill to build a ship
than it docs to build a locomotive. But
while we build locomotives for all the
world we do not build anywhere near
all the ships our own people want. In
the dispatches a day or two ago it was
announced that a citizen of Massachusetts
is having built, in an English ship yard,
a large steamer for the Mexican and
West Indian trade. The Plant Steamship
Company has a steamer plying between
Tampa and Central American ports which
was built in England. If we had more
liberal navigation laws the Massachusetts
man would have had his ship built in this
country, and the ship of the Plant Steam
ship Company would have been built here
also.
The Industries of this country don’t need
a protective tariff. The manufacturers of
New England who have always been so
clamorous for protection are beginning to
admit that they do not. In almost all
kinds of manufacturing our manufacturers
are able to lead the world in the matter
of cost. Only a few days ago the Carne
gie Company competed with the English
and German manufacturers of armor
plates for the contract to supply Russia
with such plates for her war ships, and
was successful. If we can beat the world
in manufacturing plates for ships there
is no reason why we cannot build Iron
ships cheaper than such ships can be
built elsewhere. The raw materials need
ed in ship building are cheaper in this
country than in any other and labor, all
things considered, costs no more.
Marking Girls find Their Employers.
A considerable proportion of the number
of strikers at New Bedford and elsewhere
in New England are young women. It was
suggested to one of the number recently
that the young women might better their
condition by going into domestic service;
that the duties of a domestic are not so
one,rous and hard upon the jheilth as the
duties of a factory operative, while the
pay of the former is quite as good as the
latter, and in many instances much bet
ter. The young woman explained that she
and her friends haijinot gone into domestic
service, and would not do so, for the rea
son that in almost every Instance where a
“self-respecting young white woman goes
as a servant, the lady of the house never
lets her forget for an instant that she is
a servant, engaged in menial work, and
that she is not to expect any consideration
beyond her salary. Her sensibilities are
more than apt to be totally disregarded,
and she must continually put up with in
sults if she would continue in her posi
tion. Women’s hardest task-masters ape
women. In the factory the situation is dif
ferent. The work is more tedious, and the
pay is small; but we are in a measure in
dependent. We feel that we are respected
working people, not menials.”
This young woman’s reason shows the
domestic help problem from a point of
view which is too seldom token* when (he
question is under discussion. There is al
most a perpetual growl about the inability/
to secure competent and trustworthy ser
vants. Many persons overlook the fact that
there is a responsibility resting upon the
employers which Involves more than, the
payment of wages. They seem to consider
that money will pay for anything, and
that in the case of domestic help, it does
not require a great deal of money, either.
There is continued peevishness, fault find
ing, haughtiness and suspicion, and the
suspicion is often openly expressed and
“rubbed in” whenever the occasion pre
sents itself. Some employers proceed upon
the idea that servants are beneath res
liect, naturally and-necessarily, otherwise
they would not be servants.
Any such view as the foregoing Is, of
course, entirely wrong and to be condemn
ed. All honest lal-or Is honorable, no mat
ter whether it is washing dishes in the
back room of the basement, cleaning win
dows in the attic, or sewing on buttons in
the nursery. The occupation of the domes
tic servant is as honorable as that of the
saleswoman, the stenographer, the factory
operative or any other person. When em
ployers come to realize this, and to treat
their worthy help in accordance with tlie
fact, there will be less grounds for com
plaint that t tliqient and reliable help can
not lie secured.
The paving of Drayton street will be an
improvement highly appreciated by the
people of Savannah, and the aldermen
who have pushed the measure providing
for it to favorable consideration will lie
given full credit for their good work. It
is to be hoped, now, that some arrange
ment will be made whereby the walks
around the park extension can be improv
ed. This is no less a "crying necessity"
than the paving of Drayton street. With
Drayton, New Houston and Whitaker
streets paved, and the park and the ex
trusion bordered with fine, smooth, hard
sidewalks, Forsyth Place would be a place
of beauty. Jt would become a show fea
ture of the city, and would be immense
ly popular with the people.
The last directory census of the (own of
Sing Sing, X, Y., is said' to contain the
n lilies of all the inmates of Ihe state pris
on at that place. It Is to be noted that
Atlanta is making a mighty strong pull
for the establishment there of a federal
prison. Has Atlanta seen the Sing Sing di
rectory, and tumbled to anew scheme for
counting population?
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 28, 1898.
Separate Election*.
Ex-Gov. Robert E. I’attison-of Penn
sylvania said irt the course of an inter
view the other day that he had reached the
conclusion, after ten years' experience,
that it is a mistake to separate national,
state and municipal elections. In his
state it is provided that the municipal elec
tions shall be held in the spring, apart
from all other political contests, the idea
being to eliminate all save local politics
and ailow the citizens of each community
to select their officials and decide ques
tions affecting their local affairs without
being influenced by slate or national is
sues. The latest municipal election in
Philadelphia, however, illustrates the fact
that the minor elections are made merely
the preliminary skirmishes for control of
the party machinery in anticipation of the
greater elections. Local issues are sub
merged in and obscured by state or na
tional questions, and local interests are
lost sight of in the struggle by parties and
factions.
The force of Mr. Pattison’s observations
can be appreciated by the voters of Geor
gia. It really seems that we have more
elections in this state than probably any
other. It is our custom to hold a separ
ate election for about everything in sight.
No sooner have the people got through
with voting for somebody or something
than they are called upon to give attention
to a campaign for somebody else or some
thing else. Asa result it is "politics” all
of the time. For instance, barely more
than a year ago we were up to the neck
in presidential and congressional
campaigns, and now we have a
gubernatorial campaign on. And
when we shall have elected a
Governor we shall Immediately have to go
to work to elect congressmen. And then,
in Savannah, we shall elect city officers,
and later county officers. All of these
elections cost a great deal of money di
rectly, and a great deal more indirectly
through keeping the people away from
their work and muddled with politics when
they might, and would prefer to, be attend
ing to their business.
When the laws providing for separate
elections were passed there were excellent
reasons for them. They ivere designed to
prevent federal interference in state and
local elections. The ballot box in this
section of the country, it will be remem
bered, used to be held up on the points of
the bayonets of United States soldiers.
With elections consolidated there could not
be a free and untrammeled ballot; with
elections separated each citizen could vote
as he pleased without fear of violence. Re
construction times and methods, however,
have passed away. The ballot boxes are
now in the hands of the people themselves,
and there appears to be no good reason
why worry and expense should not
be aboided by holding all elec
tions upon one day. The great
majority of the states, even in the
South, have taken this view of the mat
ter. There now- remain only ten or twelve
states which cling to the old plan of
stretching their elections along through a
great part of the year and keeping their
people perpetually in political hot water.
Revenue Cutters in the Navy.
When there was, need of small craft to
go to Havana in aid of the navy, for
work at the wreck of the Maine, the
revenue cutter service was not called
upon, but lighthouse tenders were sent.
It would seem that the cutter service,
being really closer akin to the naval ser
vice, would naturally have been the navy's
auxiliary in cases like the one in point.
But lighthouse boats w-ere ordered to the
scene. Why? Not because they were
closer at hand, nor because they could
be better spared.
The reason probably Is that the cutter
service was deftcient of craft which could
be depended upon. The fact is, this ser
vice has been persistently ignored by Con
gress. It has had to live on short ra
tions, so to speak. The vessels, with few
exceptions, are old, patched-up tubs, not
lit lo be sent into rough water. It wituld
be dangerous to the lives of the men to
send them on a cruise during the course
of which a squall might be encountered.
Both the cutters and the lighthouse ten
ders are under the government of the
treasury department, heiice it was mere
ly a question of securing the services of
the better vessels to go to Cuba.
Current events offer many arguments
in favor of consolidating th cutter ser
vice with the navy. The e liters, for in
stance, could turn over to the
navy at present, when they are
wanted, a number of trained seamen, hav
ing intimate knowledge of Ihe coast and
ports, and could take on and train the
recruits which it is proposed shall be add
ed (o the naval enlistment. The cutter
service could, and should, be made a train
ing school for the navy. Men graduated
from the cutter service would be excel
lent material for Ihe navy. They would
have a practical, not a theoretical knowl
edge of the geography of their Country’s
coast, and how to get into and out of its
harbors. They would know the people
whom they were defending; the people
would know them, and mutual knowledge
would result in mutual respect and admir
ation. It is a fact that about the only
Americans who know anything of the men
of the navy are those who go to New
port, Bar Harbor and other fashionable
resorts, and all that the men of the navy
know of their countrymen is what they
learn from the few persons they meet a
the aforesaid resorts. The navy and the
people need to be brought closer together.
A good deal toward this end could he ac
complished through the revenue cutter
service.
Russell Sage might be ever so patriotic,
and ever so eager to see the national hon
or vindicated, but it would be extremely
difficult to get those who know anything
about him to believe that his patriotic in
terviews wi re prompted by any other de
sire than to ’’skin" the market. He has
chased the dollar so long and so hard, and
through so many tortuous ways, that peo
ple feel satisfied that he is still following
up the chase whenever they see him or
hear of him. no matter In what unaccus
. toroed position.
The Kentucky Legislature continues to
give evidences of the fact that it Is work
ing with its brow wrinkled and its teeth
clenched. It has passed a bill making it
misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of
SIOO, for any person in the state to manu
facture, sell, offer for sale, barter, give
away or use a cigarette or cigarettes, or
material for making the same. Kentucky
raises a good deal of tobacco, from which
her farmers draw solace as well as in
come. But the Kentucky Legislature is
thoroughly angry; it went to work nt the
beginning of the session in a bad humor,
and Its "dander” has been rising ever since.
It is hitting every head that pops up, no
matter to whom it belongs.
Capt. Mahan, who has written a valua
ble book on "sea power, otherwise naval
power, is of the opinion that the modern
naval craft is as safe as any other vessel.
Said he the other day; ”1 assure you.
speaking as a seaman and a naval officer,
that I believe that no man crosses the
ocean in a passenger steamer without un
dertaking in a week a greater risk from
collision than any seaman on board of a
ship of war does from explosion in the
course of a year.” If other seaman and of
ficers of the navy think as Capt. Mahan
does, it is a very good thing, seeing that
they must remain on board the war ships.
The country still has money to spend for
luxuries. In New York the other day a
collection of forty-two pictures, collected
by the late Charles A. Dana and William
A. Fullwood, brought $245,000 at auction.
A single picture of the lot sold for $36,500.
Several others sold for sums ranging from
$15,000 to $35,000. One picture which had
been entered for sale at the upset price of
$50,000, Gainsborough’s "Blue Boy,’,’ was
withdrawn.
A bill before the New York legislature
proposes that intelligence office proprie
tors who agree to supply good and satis
factory servants fo householders shall live
up to the letter of the contract, within the
space of thirty-six hours. If a poor ser
vant is supplied, the intelligence office
must return the fee of its client, upon
pain of a fine of $5.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Jingo.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dein.).
The jingo poses as a very brave patriot,
who is acutely solicitous about the na
tional honor, but If examined closely he
is usually found to be of a rowdyish turn,
or a seeker after government contracts.
He wants to build some warships, or
furnish supplies, or something of that
sort. Some jingoes, however, are so from
mere immaturity of judgment.
Forced Into the Channel*.
From the Philadelphia rtecord (Dem.).
The Associated Press was organized for
the purpose of collecting news, but since
the blowing up of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor it has been obliged to
undertake anew function—that of correct
ing lies. So much misinformation has
been pr.nted and sold that it has become
almost as necessary to announce what
has not happened as to publish what real
ly has happened.
A Glance Over Europe.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
The notion that Spain would be aided
by any other European power Is rather
far-fetched. France, to which Spain has
been looking, already has chestnuts
enough in the fire; so have Germany and
Russia. Barring contingencies of an in
probable character, the fight would be be
tween Spain and the United States. Of
the ultimate result*there can he no doubt,
but it is quite possible, even probable,
that this country would sustain very
great losses. It may be added that Spain
is too poor to pay an indemnity except by
ceding Cuba.
I'OMKilile War and the Currency,
From the Chicago Chronicle (Dem.).
In case of war it is only fair to assume
that Congress will be disposed to deal with
the question of ways and means in a
reasonable and patriotic spirit. If it
should there would be no change In the
currency growing out of the war. That
people who have money to loan are satis
fied that Congress will deal with the mat
ter in this spirit may be inferred from the
fact that a loan of $100,000,006 has already
been tendeied. There would have been
no such offer if it had been apprehended
that Congress would avail Itself of the
opportunity which war would present to
wreck the currency.
Information Given Unintentionally.
In 1872. it will be recalled, Greeley had
been nominated for the Presidency, and
the news item was whether thy Democrats
would n3me a candidate, or, without in
dorsement, let partisans vote for Uncle
Horace, or not at all. An old reporter
spins this reminiscence to the New York
World: "The late August Belmont was
then the chairman of the national Demo
cratic committee. Every human effort had
been made by the newspapers to get Mr.
Belmont to express an opinion on the sub
ject. Of course, the call for the National
Democratic Convention had to be made
through its chairman. Not a member
could be induced fo say a word on the sub
ject. So the idea began to grow that
there would be no call for the conven
tion. Consequently, there would be no
regular Democratic nominee in the field.
”1 made up my mind,” went on the po
litical reporter of 1872, “to settle that ques
tion or die in the attempt. August Bel
mont was Irascible, terribly so, when a
newspaper man attempted to 'drag him
out’ on the subject he was determined to
be silent about. ’You keep cool,’ said the
reporter to himself; ‘the other side may,
in anger, do the rest.’
“Well, that interview between Belmont
and me,” said the reporter of 1872, “was
short. He was a bit lame, and the mad
der he got at the questions put to him
the harder he pounded his Wall street of
fice counter and the quicker he limped to
ward the passageway, which, fortunately
for me, was at the counter end farthest
from the street door, where I stood. If
Belmont had ever, reached that passage
way I knew i would have had to make
a bee-line for Wall street, or.—
“Well, cool, calm, collected,” continued
the reporter, “I quietly remarked, ns I
put my hand on the door knob: 'Then,
Mr. Belmont, judging from all you have
said, you wish it to be distinctly under
stood that you will NOT issue a call for
a convention!; The dear good man, God
forgive me, hadn’t touched the subject,
But he fell into the trap. Full of rage,
like a lion, with a jump toward the pas
sageway, he exclaimed: ‘By heaven, you
wretch, I shall call a convention!’
“That settled it. I was a block away
before Mr. Belmont got between me and
the doorway, and my paper had a fine
story the next day about the ‘Coming Con
vention of the Democrats.’ Belmont often
laughed about the matter afterward.”
Time, Tide and Widow* Wait Not.
Among the dozen of us who left the
train at Carter’s junction to catch the
westbound on the other road was a red
haired, red-whiskered man, who was very
nervous, and who went to the agent at
once and inquired how long we would have
to wait, says a writer in the Kansas City
Journal. The time was first put at ten
minutes, then at twenty, then at thirty,
and the agent finally announced that there
had been a wreck on the road, and we
might have to,, wait for five hours.
"Good heavens!” exclaimed the red-hair
ed man, “but I'm expected in Plumville at
S o'clock to-night!”
“Yes” calmly replied the agent.
“Is there no possible way for me to get
thero?”
“I don’t see none, being you can’t fly.”
“It’s almost a case of life or death,”
continued the passenger, after walking
around for a minute and mopping his per
spiring brow.
“I’m sorry,” replied the agent, with a
yawn.
“I couldn’t hire a locomotive?”
“Noap.” I
“Gracious me. but this breaks me all
up!” sighed the passenger. “I was to be
married this evening at 8 o'clock. It puts
me in an awful position.
“Well, I dunno. Going to marry someone
in Plumville?”
“Yes, of course; and what will she think
of me? Heavens! But why can’t I fly?”
“Perhaps I know the party,” suggested
the agent, "as Plumville is my home.”
“It's the Widow Atkinson, and it has just
struck me to use the telegraph.”
“No use, old man.”
“But I can explain the situation,”
“There is no situation, sir. The Widow
Atkinson is my sister.”
’’So'! What a coincidence!” gasped the
red-haired man.
“There Is no coincidence, sir.”
“But I must explain things.”
“No explanations are necessary. The Wi
dow Atkinson passed here on the east
bound train this afternoon. She was no
longer the Widow Atkinson. She was mar
ried and on her bridal tour.”
Mafco Understood.
A young girl was crossing the public
garden the other morning upon the main
path which crossed the bridge, says the
Boston Record. She tvas accompanied by
a magnificent mastiff, who strode along
beside her in the most companionable sort
of a way, looking up in her face occasion
ally as if to remark casually that it was
a very fine morning, or to ask if there
was anything he could do for her.
The two crossed the bridge together,
and finally came to the Charles street
gate. Here the young girl, evidently not
wishing to have the care of the dog in
the busy streets, turned to him and said:
“There, that is far enough now. Marco.
You need not go with me any further, but
turn about and go back home”’
She did not take her hands out of her
muff to point the way, and she spoke as
she would to a small brother, in a pleas
ant concersational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large eyes,
then looked aerpss the Common, wagging
his tail slowly ns though he were think
ing how very pleasant it, would be to go
tho rest of the way. Finally he turned
back to her again and with a movement
of his ej’es and head asked as plainly ns
though the words had come from, his
mouth: "Please let me go a little further,
it is such a fine morning.”
“No. dear; I’m going- shopping, vou
know,” answ-ered the girl, explaining the
difference, ns if Marco were human,
“there’ll tie crowds of people, and I shali
not know what to do with you. But go
along, now, there’s q good fellow, and
I'll be back soon.”
Without another word Marco turned
find walked back across the gardens. He
did not slink away, as some dogs do when
sent back, but marched leisurely along
with his head in the air, stopped a mo-,
ment on the bridge to watch the children
skating below, then trotted on toward
Commonwealth avenue.
An Object Lennon.
Asa child Queen Victoria was noted
for her Independent spirit and for her*
frankness in confessing an error. The
following anecdote, told by the author of
“The Private Life of the Queen,” dis
plays both of these traits:
When a little girl she was taken on a
visit to Hail Fitzwilliam’s family seat in
Yorkshire. Wet weather had made the
paths very slippery, and the Princess who
