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.

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.

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 ,
