If matter is not worth the signature of the erteer @ @ net worth writing, much less printing ‘The National Council of Women, now in ses- gion im this city, isa notable body, composed as it is of representative women from each of the national associations devoted to extending and improving woman's field of work in the world. A review of what has been ac- complished within the last half century by and for women and the prospect offered by the future are both full of encourngement. Scores ef cocupations have been opened to her which were formerly closed against women on the theory that the sex is incompetent to perform the ordinary duties of bread-winnera. Not enly self-cupport but celebrity have been in many instances attained in these callings, which women could not at one time have pursued without unsexing themselves. Today repre- sentative women in the pulpit, at the bar, as of medicine, in the fine arts, on ‘the press, and in various other callings can as- eemble with reasonable self-congratulation and pride of sex to consider what has been recently accomplished in their various departments of labor for women's advancement and to plan |‘ with enthusiasm for greater achievements in the future. + oe ‘When the American humorist said that Wash- ington never “sloped over,” he gave in four ‘words an adequate account of the character of the greatest man in secular history. His great- ‘ness consisted in his practical sense, combined with his moral dignity. It is fashionable to treat George Washington as if he were too good fer association with the other historical char- acters of the world. This is idol worship and utterly subversive of history. The Father of | His Country was a man with whom his best friends could not be on terms of familiarity, bat he had some of the foibles and passions of ether men, and on oceasions he exhibited them to hie countrymen. It the fiesh-and-blood, the true, Washington stand before the people of this and future generations as he stood before his cotemporaries. He will be all the greater for it, ———_—__~+ = “The New York Tridune gives cnrrency to a statement that “Mr. Foster is decidedly not in mpathy with rules which are framed to —- office.’ Ex-Senator T.

Philadelphia won in the recent fight with the railroad before the city councils, and indulged paturally and reasonably in aloud crow over its victory;~but it appears that the end is not yet. A corporation which turns aside from the purposes of its charter and throws itself into polities so vigorously as to elect C men and handle Congress would perhaps find it only @ pleasing pastime to secure control of city council.
