fT HE OMAHA DAILY BEEn JFHIDAY. MAY 31 , 1880- ONLY WANT TO BE CLERKS , Modesty of Women Who Seek Ofllcos at Washington. MRS.J. ELLEN FOSTER'S HUSDAND Ilia Wife AVnntB Him Appointed on llio Inter-Stnto Commerce Com * inlsilon V. A. I * . O. Clnrksrm nml the liiuly Appllcnnts < Tlio Dinidcnco of Ihn Bex. WASIIINOTOX , May 23. [ Special to Tun Bin : . ] Thcro probably never wore o many women sock In p oOlco In Wnshlngton ns now. They never aim hiRh. So far ns U generally known no woman lias nsUcd for a position nbovo n clerkship. Most Of them npply for jiluccs tlirouffh the civil ncrvlco commission , mul tholr nmbttton Is about , the alzo of a first- clnss clerkship , which pays $1,000 a year. Most of thorn wo school girls , and want places below the clusslllcd llst the position of copyist being the popular ono. Ucforo the civil service law was on the stututo boons , nnd governed the em ployment of men and women In the various branches of the government , It was not an unusual thing for n woman of great political power to demand n managerial position. T'hoy frequently ask to bo appointed chiefs of division In the departments , and there arc cases on record where women made long nnd forceful lights for the positions of dis bursing nnd pay oulccs , places requiring heavy bonds nnd entailing heavy responsi bilities. There are none of those contests now. The Cleveland administration sot the ox- mnplo of giving preference in tlio employ ment of clerks and copyists to mules. Dur ing the lust twp years of tlio Cleveland ad ministration scarcely n woman was omnlo.vcd In any of the departments to do clerical work , 'ihosu who did pot places now are al most exclusively the widows or orphans of ex-union soldiers. The government printing ofllco and tlio bureau of engraving mid print ing furnish places for the greatest nninber of women now employed. When Superintend ent Porter opened the census bureau , n few weeks ago , ho was boseiged with members of the guiltier BOX who wanted pliiCL'a , mill at time * In the day his ofllcc looked Hue a re ception for a woman's Christian temperance union , or some organization of that character. Mr. Porter showed the women nil duo con sideration , and \vncn ho had places to give ' tendered them to women who were capable , and deserving , and who could 1111 thorn ns well ns men. Mrs. J. Ellen Poster , of Iowa , the noted orator who took such an active part in the last campaign for General Harrison , has cut u moro prominent llguro In the circle of of- ilco-srokers than and other woman in Washington since the 4th of March last. She docs not seek i place for herself , but wants her hus band given the vacancy on tlio intor-stato commerce commission. Mrs. Foster is very shrewd , and for awhila conducted a "still- liunt" with ns great u degree of success ns any man. She is not conlldcnt that her hus band will by given preference , however. President Harrison is called upon dally by women of all clauses , in the single number nnd by delegations , but they almost invui-lu- bly nsk for moderate places. The women who Imve odlclnl ambition hnvo coma to the conclusion that success lies only in modera tion. At the civil service headquarters it is said that in souio of the states a majority of the applicants for olllccs who are curlillcd nnd are eligible for appointment urn women. In a few instances women registered nnd certiiied for appointment have boon selected under the belief thnt they were men , and tlio officers in tlio department calling for clerks have been surprised to tind a xvomnn walk in and present her appointment when a mau was expected to appear. It is safe to pre'dlct that thn number of women now em ployed in the department will steadily dc- t ci ease , as men are always protorrcd. Tbo women want moro leaves of absence with pay , and require moro attention than ttie men , nnd. that is why the superior ofllcors prefer the male BOX ns clerks. There has been a steady diminution of the number of females employed in'tho pension oflico during the past three or four yoars.und it is rare thnt. one is now given a position. In this branch of the government judgment is the primary qualification , and few women can bo trusted to look into a case Involving judicial knowledge. Every day ono sees a goodly number of women in tlio crowd which flocks about the room of First Assistant Postmaster-General CInrkson. Most of these women comb from n distance In some instances a thousand miles and they seek appointments as post mistresses. Mr. Clarkson has appointed a largo number of them , but ho always re quires the regular political endorsements as to qualification and merit , and the widows or orphans of ex-union soldios are selected in almost every instance. A number of stories have gene the rounds detailing how women have presented themselves before Mr. Clarkson , and by tholr winsome wnys nnd tflilj tongues have secured appointments , but the very capable' and business-like assistant general 'says they are romances founded upon fiction , nnd that wherever ho has made the appointment of a woman it can bo shown that film was endorsed ns strongly ns a man would have been hod the appointment gone to tlio opposite sex. The last prominent office-seeking Incident on the part of a woman was conducted dur ing the lust administration by Mrs. V. C. Thompson who wanted to be postmistress at Louisville , Ky. She swept everything ana everybody before her. She came hero , stop ped at the Ebbltt housoand by her strikingly handsome appearance and winsome manners made the senators and representatives not only fronti her state but others do her bid- diug.and won a victory which split tho'demo- crutUi party in Kentucky , and threatened to turn the state over to tbo republicans. She is expected to coma lioro again eoon , nnd set an example for representatives of her sex to follow , blio is the most successful oflico- scokor that has been in Washington for many years. ' Just now Public Printer Palmer has moro calls from women who want places than all of the other ofllolals combined. Ho says they cause him moro trouble than all the men , as they are persistent , and in most In- Btunoos deserving. A , IIIIAVK MAN'S SDK , This morning tlio pcoplo who wore passing about the department of Justice saw a lull , well formed , and strikingly handsome young roan In the building take tlio elevator and nsk to bo shown to Attorney-General Miller's room. His heavy brown hair hung In ring lets upon a broad expanse of forehead. Ho was tastefully dressed , and on tlio lapel of Ills coat were the emblem of 'tho Uota Tliota I'i society. His dark blue eyes were sot with heavy lushes , and they Hushed intelli gence ut every turn. This young man is an applicant for the position of United States marshal of Mississippi , ana connected with him nnd his family IB n story which , if written - ton In detail , would rival the raciest tragedy ever put between yellow covers. Headers of political annals will remember that when the returns were flashed over the wires from the election In Mississippi in tbo fall of 1885. n startling tragedy was related from Hazelhurst , Among the most intelli gent and courageous of the republican load ers in the Huzelhurst section of Mississippi was Print Matthews. Ho was a man of education , culture , and hud the courage of his convictions. Ho wan progressive , and believed In all of the essential elements of the republican party as nonius t the methods of the deir.ouratlo party which Imd made the south solid , and which terrorized white men an well ns blqek men at thn polls. Matthews , a short tlnio before tiio election , was given warning by the democratic bulldozers "tho leading men of the county" that It ho attempted to vote on election day it would cost him his life. On the morning of the election one of his friends went to , him nnd bogged of him not to cast his vote on that day , saying thnt it would cost him his life , as it was prearranged ranged and had been planned for many weeks that tie ( Matthews ) Biiould bo inauo an' example of. "nut 1 am an American citizen , " saia Matthews calmly , "and having the right ot franchise intend to exorclsu It. If tboro must bo ui | example mndo of some ouo I presume - sumo I ntu no bettor than other citizens , and may at wc.ll bite the dust as any man. " Print Matthews impressed hi * friend with the fafll tlW bo did uot Intend to bo a brag- gadook' . but that ho had the patriotism , good rUicn Ul ; > and coura a tq establish the rlgbU at American citizens la any purt of the country , even nt the coc * . " ' . ' .it'Jifo. ' An hour or two afterward Matthews advanced to th0 polls. A friend handed him n straight republican ticket , folded go ns to not disclo ? ? . m character. Matthews opened it , however , and , holding it by the end , handed It to po of the Judges , who took tbo ballot In such u way that uvory ono who stood near could rend It. At that Instant n democratic Inspec toral n distnnca of ciRhU-on feet , leveled a double-barrelled shotgun nt him and fired. Over forty buck-shot entered Matthews' body. It almost cut him in twain. The brutality of the bulldozers did not end here. The lifeless body was permitted to lie In the room where It fell , but the door was locked. Instantly the news of the tragedy was hurled throughoutllnrelhurst , nnd when It reached the homo of Matthews , nn invalid daughter , who had been confined to her bed tot some time , started out to sco tlio result of the report of the gun shot , bhil 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 nnd admitted her. The murderer marched nround town nil day with his shot gun nnd dolled interior , cnco. As n reward ho was elected mayor of the city. The young man described above ns apply ing1 for the position of United States marshal Is the son of Print Matthews , nnd although a young man ho has n history which will bear favorable comparison with that of his father. OUK OVKKWOIIKEO COXOltESSMK.V. The trials and tribulations of the con gressmen who nave staid In Washington Since the adjournment of congress to look after appointments lire little known outside the circle of their immediate friends , who see thorn racing about the government do- partmcnts during the day nnd , after oflleo hours , dragging themselves homeward , only to meet n mail of ono or two hundred letters dnlly , which they laboriously open nnd answer. This work usually keeps tnom up until the small hours , yet constituents who have a vote to cast ono or two years hcnco must not bo slighted. Your correapomtont-foutul one of these truly hard-worked men at his ( leak the other evening. The member's whole appearance showed fatigue , his collar had wilted from tlio heat of the little ofllco which formed his sanctum , his hair wns dishevelled , nnd ho looked like tlielnst rose of summer.wilted nnd about to fall apart. Strewn about tlio room were stacks of pamphlets , comprising n variety of congressional documents that were yet to ho distributed throughout his district , while the desk wns piled up fern n couple of fcot with letters , those unanswered only , the communications that hud been dispatched being deposited In a rough box that occupied ono corner of the room. Over this heap of mall peered the countenance of the attentive secretary , who with' the mvstic aid of the cabalistic short hand , put down the words of the working member which wore to form .thn substance of the answers. "This is the most disheartening work that man ever engaged In said the fagged-out congressman as ho leaned back for a mo ment's rest. "It would make no diiforence , or nt least there would bo some recompense. if this miserable worn I am doing amounted to anything. But it docs not. Pcoplo in the states have an exaggerated idea of the influ ence of a congressman. They hear 01 some one who has been given n pluco and they think their own failure to got in onico simply means the Indifference of their member. I am receiving daily , scores of applications for pluccs. These are in many instances accom panied by letters from influential friends of the candidates. In each ono I have to acknowledge the receipt of the communi cation and then write nn endorsement to ac company It when I tile it at the department. Of course f have in most cases to do tnis per sonally , to make my little speech before the particular oflicial who handles the applica tion , so thnt I may write my correspondent tno facts to impress upon him my goo'd will and the effort I maUo to got him ilxod. "But what docs all this labor signify ? Nothing. I will tell you candidly , that of the hundreds of applications I have filed , I have not had ono appointment to repay mo for my trouble. If this work did anybody any good I wouldn't complain , but it is sense less and disheartening. " Of course now and then a plum docs drop into the hands of theworking members , and many of them fall to those who have strong Influence with the , administration , but.ns n rule the applications that uro filed might as well be buried without hope of a resurrection oven when the final trumpet blows. Using Thorn for Kifty years. Mrs. Fayetto Dixon writes : "AiiKAXS.vw , Pepin Co.Wis. , Dee. 2,1885. For upwards of fifty years I have used BiiAXDUBTii'a PILLS. 1 nm now nearly eighty years old and in good health.

For bilious de rangements and kidney disturbances , their usefulness , in my experience , U particularly noticeable , " Tlio Business Situation. Boston Advertiser : The spmowlmt 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 and other monetary institutions are agreed upon the statement that rarely , If ever , have they known the demand for uionoy o bo so con tracted In scope nnd BO limited in amount. While this stagnant condition of the money market may bo but temporary , yet the story It tolls can not be mistaken. It means n slug gish condition of general business , and shows the prevalence of u disposition to wait until the favorable prospects of the future uro as sured. A feature of interest in the exchange mar ket has been the renewal of gold shipments to Europo. On Saturday nearly 14,000,000 of gold was taken by the outgoing steamers , with practically no change in the market rates for sterling' bills. These shipments hnvo been rendered necessary from the fact that commercial bills and security bills have almost entirely disappeared from the market , and as the leading bankers have beta and are drawing exchange freely , the gold has to bo sent to meet the drafts , which can no longer bo covered by swapping bills. There Is , however - over , no occasion lor nervousness on this ac count , as the country can well spare the gold without inconvenience. It in the easiest and cheapest way to pay our indebtedness at this time , mid , in fact , it may bo said that no gold is ever sent abroad until it becomes the cheapest medium through which our balances can bo settled. Hut whllo gencrul trade is dull , it Is disap pointing chiefly from the fact that it shows so little tendency to expand. It still remains moderately active , but the demand continues to ba of * very conservative character , nnd is limited largely to supplying present wants rather than to anticipating the requirements of the future. In HOIIIO departments of busi ness valuer linvH shown n downward tend ency , nnd any feeling of uncertainty as to whether prices may po lower always tends to restrict activity , as buyers are not dis posed to stock UD freely when there is a clmnco for a further decline. The good crop prospects have unt > ottled tint tone of the market for wheat and corn. Iron and steel and the other motaltt uro still laboring under a cloud of uncertainty , whllo hides and leather contlnuuto bo mere or lean depressed. The position of the wool tr.idu also Is not al together hutlsfactory , tlio demand for con sumption being sluu'gish nnd uncertain , while the now slip is held linn and so much above the market us to retard buying , . A Ghastly Idol.
