In reply to a question Mr. Wolf the fees of the office fluctuated, but that they had reached $12,000 per year. He said the lowest annual fees tp his experience were $5.000. Mrs. ‘a J.

The chairman, Mr. Spencer, said they would be heard through one of their own number, accordin; 18~ tom. Mrs. Spencer addressed for twenty minutes. She said that the very existence of this commission to frame & gov- ernment for the District of Columbia fs a double confession that the Congress of the United States and the men of this District | bave totally failed in the, ment of this stnail section of our national domain. «It is trne you have sanounced to men only thet you would hear them on this subdject, bat elnce the term men included women, for = punishment, we may fairly ia- auegen ineludes women for purposes o! law Sepator Spencer.— to include women in this case, and if we bad thought of it would have sg; ally named them.

Ourtbree hundred and sev- enty-eigbt kings have theirhomes and their courtiers in their separate kingdoms, and their interests are directiy antagonistic to oure. In this District there are seven thou- sand more women than men, and I cali the world to witness that they are honest, in- dustrious, law-abiding citizens. Men have controlled our nearest interests as wives, mothers, and daughters, without asking our counsel. Weare bere today to ask that in Whatever form of government you, in your Wisdom, may submit to the people for this District, whether it be mosarchy, aristo- cracy or republic, you give woman ap eqnal representation.
