‘ONLY WANT T0 BE CLERKS. The Modesty of Women Who Seek Offices at Washington. . MRS.J. ELLEN FOSTER'S HUSBAND His Wife Wants Him Appointed on the Inter-State Commerce Com- misslon—F. A. P. G. Clarkson and the Lady Applicants The Diffidence of the Sex. Wasnivorox, May 25.—[Special to T Ber. | —There probably never were 80 man, women seeking office in Washington as now. They never aim high. So far as is generally known no woman has asked for a position above a clerkship, Most of them apply for places through the civil service commission, and their ambition is about, the size of a first- class clerkship, which pays $1,000 a year. Most of them are school girls, and want places below the classified list-~the position of copyist being the popuiar one. Before the civil service law was on tho statuto books, and governed the em- ployment of men and women in the various branches of tho government, it was not an unusual thing for a woman of great political power to domand o managerial position. They frequently ask to be appointed chiefs of division in the departments, and there are cases on record where women made long and forceful fights for the positions of dis- bursiog and pay ofices, places requiring heavy bonds and entailing heavy responsi- Dbilitiee. There are none of those contests ow. The Cleveland admiinistration set the ex- smpio of giving preference in the emplo ment of clerks and copyists to males. Dur- ing the lust two years of the Cleveland ad- ministration scarcely a woman was employed in any of the departments to do clericul work. ‘rhose who did get places now are al most exclusively the widows or orphans of ex-union soldiers. The government printing offico and the burcau of engraving and print- g furnish places for the greatest namber of women now employed. When Superintend- ent Porter opened the census bui weeks ago, he was beseiged with members of the gentlér sox who wanted places, and at times in the day his oftice looked lie a re- ception for a woman's christinn temperance union,or some organization of vhat character. Mr. Porter showed the women all due con- sideration, and when he had places to give tendered them to women who were capable and deserving, and who could fill them as well as men. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, the noted orator who took such an active part in the last campaign for General Harrison, has cut a more prominent figure in the circle of of- fice-seckers than and other ‘woman in Washington since the 4th of March last. She does not seek a place for herself, but wants her hus- band given the vacancy on the inter-state mmerce commission. Mrs, Foster is very shrewd, and for awhile conducted a ‘“‘still- hunt” with as great o degree of success as . any man, She is not confident that her hus- band will by given preference, however, President Harrison is called upon daily by women of all classes, in the single number and by delegations, but they almost wvaria- bly ask for moderate places. The women who have official ambition have come to the couclusion that success lies only in modera- tion. At the civil service headquarters 1t is said that in some of the states a majority of the applicauts for oftices who are certified and are eligible for appointment are women, In a few instances women registered and certified for appointment have been selected under the belief that they were men, and the officers in the department calling for clerks have been surprised vo find a woman walk in and present her appointment when a man was expected to appear. 1t is safe to predict that the number of women now em- ployed in the department will steadily de- crease, as men are always prererred. The women want more leaves of absence with pay, sud require more attention than the men, and that is why the superior officers prefer the male sex as clerks. ‘There has been a steady diminution of the number of females employed in the pension office during the past three or four years,und M is rare that ove is now given a position. In this branch of the government judgment is the primary qualification, and few women cun be trusted to look nto a case involving jmlulu\knn\vladgc. Every day one sees a goodly number of women in the crowd which flocks about the room of First Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson. Most of these women come from a distance—in some instances a thousand miles—and they seek appointments as post— mistresses, Mr. Clarkson has appointed & large number of the quires the regular polit 10 qualification and merit, and the widows or orphnns of ex-union soldies are selected in almost every instagce. A number of stories have goue the rounds detailng how women have presented themselves before Mr, Clarkson, and by their winsome ways and glib tongues have secured n[lpomlmuma but tho very capable and business-like assistant general says they are romances founded Tpon fiction, and that wherever he bas made the appointment of & woman it can be shown that she was endorsed as strongly as a man would have been had the appointment gone 1o the opposite sex. ‘The last prominent office-seeking incident on the part of & womar was conducted dur- ing the lust administration by Mrs. V. C. Thompson who wanted to be postmistress at Lowsville, Ky. She nwl!g!. everything ana everybody before her. e came here, stop- gell at the Ebbitt house,and by her strikingly indsome appearance and winsome manners made the senators and representatives not only from her state but others do her bid- diog,aud won a victory which splitthe demo- cratic purty in Kentucky, and threatenea to turn the atate over to the republicans. She 18 expected to come here again £0on, and set an example for representatives of her sex to follow. 8he is the most successful oftice- secker that has been in Washington for many ears, ! Just now Public Printer Palmer has more calls from women who want pluces than all of the other officials combined. He says they cause him more trouble than all the men, as they are persistent, and in most in- stunces desorving. A BEAVE MAN'S 80N, ‘This morning the people who were passing about the department of justice saw o tall, well formed, and strikingly handsome young man in the buding take the elevator and ask to be shown to Attorney-General Miller's room. His beavy brown hair hung in ring- lets upon a broad expanse of forehead. He ‘was tustefully dressed, and on the lapel of his coat wore the emblem of the Beta Theta Pisociety. His dark blue eyes were set with heavy lushes, and they flashed 1ntelli- gence at every wrn. This YOUng man is an pplicant for the position of United States marshal of Mississippi, and counnected with him and his family 18 a story which, if writ- ton in detail, would rival the raciest tragedy ever put between yellow covers, Leaders of politica! annals will remember that when the returns were flashed over the wires from the election in Mississippi in the fall of 1885, a startling tragedy was related from Hazelburst, Among the most intelli- gent and courageous of the republican lead- ers in the Hazelhurst section of Mississinpi was Print Matthoews. He was a man of education, culture, and hud the courage of his convictions, 0 was &nmurauive, and believed in all of the essential elements of the revublican Jufly A8 against the motliods of the democratic party which bad made the south solid, terrorized white men as well as black men at the polls. Matthews, a short time before the election, was given warning by the democratic bulldozers—!'the leading men of the county”—that if he attempted to yote on election day it would cost him nis life. On the morning of the eleotion one of hus friends went to him and begged of him no 1o cast his vote on that day, saying that n wuuld A.ut him his life, as it was pre-ar been planned for many ‘weo lhn he (Matthews) should be made au example of. “Aut I am an and which American citizen,” said Matthews calmly, ‘‘and having the right of frauchise intend to exercise there smust be an example made of some oue 1 pre- sume I aw no better than other vitizens, and flu‘well bite the dust as a'u‘n 'f‘“l:‘; # ubu*-mnmpruud riend with fact thab be did not intend to be & brag- il w4 Soaraes o'a 't:rnl:fii:" izon ship and courage to es e of A-Jmn citizens in any of THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:: FRID the country, even at the co An hour or two afterward Mllthr\vl advanced to the polls, A friend handed him a straight republican ticket, folded 80 ns to not discloss iy character. Matthews opened it, however, and, holding it by the end, handed it to (e of the Judges, who took the ballot in such & way that every one who stood near could read it. At that instant a democratic inspec- tor,at a distance of eighteen feet, leveled a double-barrelled shotgun at him and fired. Over forty buck-shot entered Matthews' vody. Tt almost cut him in twain, The brutality of the bulldozers did not end here, The lifeless body was permitted to lie in tht room where it fell, but the door was Jocked, Iustantly the news of the tragedy was hurled throughout Hazelhurst, and when it reached the home of Matthews, an jnvalid daugbter, who had been confined to her bed fox some time, started out ~ to sec the result of the report of the gun shot. Shu said she knew by intuition that her father was killed. She was refused admittance to the room where Matthews was confined, but a relative burst the door open and admitted her. The murderer marched around town all day with his shot gun and defied interfer. 4\5 a reward he was elected mayor of s young man described above as appiy- ing for the position of United States marshal is the son of Print Matthews, and although a young man he has a_history which will bear Tavorable comvarison with that of his father. OUR_ OVERWORKED CONGHESSMEN, The trials and tribulat of the con- gressmen who nave staid in Washington since the adjournment of congress to look after appointments are little known outside the circle of their_immediate friends, who see them racing about the government de- purtments during the day and, after ofice hours, dragging themselves homeward, only o meet a mul of one or two hundred letters daily, which they Iavoriously open und answer. This work usually keeps tnem up until the small hours, yet constituents who huve a vote to cast one or two years hence must not be slighted. Your correspondentdound one of theso truly hard-worked men at his desk the other evening. The member’s whole appearance showed fatigue, his collar had wilted from the h tof the little office which formed shnctom, bia hain was dishevolled, nnd T 1o0ked ke the Lt rose of summer, wiltod and about to fall apart. Strewn ubout the room were stacks of pamphlets, comprising a variety of congressional documents that i tobo aistributed yzhout his up. for those communications that had been dispatehed being deposited in a rough box that occupied one corner of the room, Over this heap of mail peered the countenance of the attentive secretary, who with the mystic aid of the cabalistic short- hand, put down the words of the working member which were to form the substance of theanswers. ““T'his is the most disheartening work that man ever engaged in said the fagged-out congressman as he leaned back for a mo- ment's rest. ‘It would make no difference, or at least there would be some resompense, if this miserable work I am doing amounted to anything. But it does not. People in the states have an exaggerated idea of the infiu- ence of a congressman. They hear o1 some one who has been given a_place and_they think their own failure to get in office simply means the indifference of their member. I am receiviag daily, scores of applications for pluces, These are in many mstances accom- panied by letters from nfluential friends of the candidutes. In each one 1 have 10 acknowledge the veceipt of the communi- cation and then writo an endorsement to uc- company it when I file it at the department. Of course I have in most cases to do tns per- sonally, to make my littie speech before tho particular official who handles the applica- t1ou, 8o that I may write my correspondent the facts to impress upon him my good will and the effort T malke to get hum fixed. “But what does all this labor signify? Nothing. I will tell you candidly, that of the handreds of applications I have filed, I bave not had one appointment to_repay me for my trouble, If this work did anybody any good I wouldn't complain, but it is sense- loss and disheartening.” Of course now and then a plam docs drop into the hands of the working members, and many of them fall to those who have strong influence with the ndministration, but as a rule the applications that are fled might as well be buried without hope of a resurrection even when the final trampet blows, Using Them for Fifty Years. Mrs. Fayette Dixon writes: “Anrkaxsaw, Pepin Co., Wis., Dec. 2, 1885, Tor upwards of fifty years I have used BrANDRETH'S PiLLs. 1am now nearly eighty years oid and in good health. That my fac- ulties are still intact is due to this fact, and this only, that I have almost reiied on BRANDRETW'S PILLS. to the exclusion of stronger medicines to restore me to health whenever seriously indisposed or in great suffering from colds, backache, etc., and am deeply grateful, next to my Maker, to the blessed man who originated and placea within reach of his fellow-beings so simple and eficacious a remedy. For bilious de- rangements and kidney disturbances, their usefulness, in my experience, is particulariy noticeable.” e ‘he Business Situation, Boston Advertiser: The spmewhat unsat- isfactory condition of the trade movement is reflected in the continued dullness of the money market. This is especially the case in Boston, where the managers of banks ana other monetary institutions are agreed upon the statement that rarely, if ever, have they known the demaud for money®o be so con- uracted in scope and 8o limited in amount. While this stagnant condition of the money market may be but temporary, yet the story it teils can not be mistaken. It means a slug- gish condition of general business, and shows the prevalence of a disposition to wait until the f&lvol‘llhlu prospects of the future aro as- sured, A feature of interest in the exchange mar- kot has been the renewal of gold shipments to Europe. On Saturday nearly §4,000,000 of gold was taken by the outgoing steamers, with practically no change “in the murket rates for sterliug bills, These shipments have been rendered necessary from the fact that commercial bills und security bills have almost entirely disappeared from the market, and as the leading bankers have bebn and are drawing exchange frecly, the gold has to be sent to meet the drafts, which can no longer be covered by swavping bills, There is, how- ever, no occasion for nervousness on tnis ac- count, as the country can well spare the gold without inconvenience. 1t is the easiest and cheapest way to pay our indebtedness at this time, aud, in faet, it way be said that no gold 18 ever sent_abroad until it becomes the medium through which our balances ttled. But while general trade 1s dull, it is disap- pointing chiefly from the fact that 1t shows 80 little tendency to expand. It still remains moderately active, but the demand continues 1o be of s Very conservative charncter, and is limited largely to supplying present’ wants rather than o anticipating the requirements of the future. In some departments of busi- ness values have shown a downward tend- ency, and any feeling of uncertainty as to whether prices may go lower always tends 10 restrict activity, as buyers are not dis- posed to stock up freely when there isa chance for a further decline, The good crop prospects have uusettled the tone of the market for wheat and corn. [rou and steel and the other metals aro still luboriug under a cloud of uncertainty, while hides and leather continue to be mcre or less depressed. The position of the wool trade also is not al: together satisfactory, the demand for con- sumption being sluy; and uncertain, while the new slip is held firm and so much above the market as to retard buying. A — . A Ghastly Idol. A writer in the Missionary Recorder inddescribing the Tai3han mountain (in Shantusg, much resorted to by pil- grims), says that among other attrac- tions is the mummy of an old Taoist, who died in the reign of Chien Lung (1785)—1796 set up as av object of rever- ence, This desiceated corpse is set on a pedestal, as ave idols generally in a sitting ‘:xnura. with legs crossed and hands together. Over his skull has been fitted a plaster mask painted in the very red and very white Chinese fashion, in which glass eyes have been set; a yellow silk robe hangs loosely from his bony shoulders, leav- g exposed, however, the withered arms and legs. A more gruesomo, ghastly object it would be difi- cult to conceive. He is re- ferred to by the plebs as the “Dried- Up Taoist,” but when seeking admit- tance they refer to him more politely as the venerable immortal. The writer {aquired of the attending priest: ‘“How long since hisdeath? He replied: ‘‘He was transformed in the time of Ch'ien Luwg. His spirit left him while ho was ia a sitting posture, and he had neither sche nor pain, being fully con- vineed that Ye was not dying,but being changed.” CHICAGO LIVE May 30, ~CATTL values ruled strong, on of the moderate run here ana There was o pretty good demand, and fat cattle of desirable quality sold 5 to 10c hi about the same as day before Common light cattle are being the competition of Texas cattle, and heavy and rough cattle are not wanted even at low prices.
