Advocates of women's rights will doubtless rejoice at the support afford ed them by science. For, from a gen eral review of the facts of development and anatomy of various invertebrate and vertebrate animals, Mr. T. H. Mont gomery concludes that the male is tha less developed and more embryonic. And in those cases where the male ap pears superior it is shown that the dif ference is mainly in unimportant mor phological characters. When one sex is rudimentary in comparison with the other it is pointed out that this is almost always the male. In size, again, the female usually has the superiority. Sometimes also the central nervous system is more highly specialized in the female, while the internal reproductive apparatus is also usually more complex. Summing up the evidence, Mr. Mont gomery contends that among inverte brates and the lower vertebrates the female is clearly superior. In the higher vertebrates the female is still superior, though in a lesser degree. In connection with this superiority of the female it may ba lloted that many species of insects ap pear to be able to do without males for a whole generation. The gall flies, for example, which issue from the span gles falling from the oak leaves in au tumn, are all females. These females lay their eggs on the oak tree and produce an entirely different kind o£ -gall, viz., the currant gall. From these: issue male and female gall Hies dif ferent form and formerly looked upon as another species—which reproduce the spangles on the oak leaves. So from the female aphis on the rosebush will proceed several generations before a male is required. The urwnated queen bee, again, will lay fertile eggs, which, however, produce only drones. The Exceptional Man. Progressive employers are alwaya looking for the exceptional man or woman, the one who can step out from the crowd and do things in an original way, who can economize in processes, who can facilitate business. They are always looking for the earmarks of leadership, of superior ability. Tney are looking for the progressive em ploye with new ideas who can fielp them to be more of a success. They know very well, says a writer in Suc cess Magazine, that they can get any numbei of automatons —multitudes who will do a thing just well enough to keep their placets—but they aro looking for originality, individuality, for up-to-date methods. They want cmplcvcs who can put things through with vigor and determination, with out lagging, whining, apologizing, or asking questions. Nothing can bar the advancement of employes of this kind. Nobody can keep them down. If by chance some one above you is actually trying to prevent, your promo tion for selfish reasons, it ought to be very Mattering to you to know that he is trying to kvep you back, and should make you ail the more deter mined to get ahead. It in a pretty good indication that there is some rca- FOII for his fear, and that you have material in you for a better place This should encourage you to redouole your efforts to do your work so well, to stamp such superiority upon every thing you touch, to acquit yourself so much better than the man whi is tly ing to keep you down —to be so niit.h pltasanur, so niueh more of a man, l»at it will be only a question of time when you will get the position you nrj striving for, or perhaps i< better one.

ID a well considered and ably writ ten article in the Philadelphia North American Charles Heber Clark ex poses the fallacy, not to say false pro tense, of the contention embodied in the platform of the American recipro cal tariff league to the effect that be cause of the vast expansion of our ia dustries they are suffering from over production and must have a foreign outlet for the surplus. The facts of trade, both domestic and foreign, com pletely refute this contention, says tha American Economist. The North . mei ican points out the increase of more than 20 per cent, in our population in the past ten years and the doubling ot the consumption of important staple products such as iron, coal and petro leum within the same period. The in crease of demand has been greater than the increase of population. Th 3 same is true as to agricultural prod ucts. In 1 SSI we consumed 300,000.000 bushels of wheat, in 1904 517,000,000 bushels and in 1905 we shall have con sumed close to 600,000,000 bushels. Im ports of foodstuffs fell off in -901 and 1905 because more was consumed at. home and the consequent higher of prices made it more difficult for low paid foreign workers to take and pay for our cereals and meats. Domestic manufacturers have made substantial gains in their export trade. From being less than one-sixth of our total exports in 1879, manufactures have grown to more than one-third of our exports in 1905. All this time the home demand for manufactures has in creased at a tremendous rate. That the home demand has gone beyond the home supply must be accepted as true in the light of our $000,000,000 of duti able and competitive imports in 1905. For the fiscal year closing with June ?0, 1905, we took from foreigners more than $50,000,000 worth of cotton manu factures, more than $40,000,000 of man ufactures of fibers, more than $32,000,- 000 of silk manufactures, more tha'i $28,000,000 of manufactures of iron an.' steel, more than $18,000,000 of woolen manufactures, more than $13,000,000 of earthen, stone and china wares and so on down through the list. The fact that we made these enormous purchases abroad, a total of $000,000,000, nega tives the contention that our domestic industrialists are in a bad way because of overproduction. The truth Is they are finding a better market at home—a market that is increasing enormously year by year—than they could possibiy find abroad. STATISTICS DISPUTE THEM Assertion of Reciprocity Theorists Set at Naught by Government Figures. The theorists say the country is suf fering from the effects of the tariff They declare that other nations will not buy our manufactured goods and that we are being boycotted in every direction. They tell a tale of woe that would make the average man think the country was going to destruction 011 a | down grade, says the Moline (111.) Dls ; patch. And just when a convention is about to meet that all these tales of I woe may be united in a grand chorus j the government has the effrontery if | give cut this compilation of statistics showing that the theorists ore talkhu through th"ir h'lts and without anv proner knowledge of the facts in the j case. Now it is unquestionably trite that I if some branches of industry conk! have free trade in the material tha goes into their goods they might bo able to produce them more cheaply If at the same time the prosperity ol 1 he country could be kept up by a tar iff on other goods they might be able to sell more goods and thus reap a greater profit. But if there is to be a reduction in one line there will hat* to be reductions in other lines, and the total result will be what it was in 1893: there will lie general distress and 110 market for the goods that have been made of cheaper materials. The fact is tha* the general prosper ity of the country is the first thing to be considered and not the improve ment of any special interests. When t'ne rountry as a whole is prosperous it is the fault of the manufacturer if he does not get his share of it. When every man can have work it is the fault of the workman if he has not the skill to command the highest wages To day Ihe conditions are such that all arc dcing well. If the free list can be ma nipulated to give 11s some trade bene fits with other countries it will be well 10 so manipulate it. B-it no tndust;> in the United Statrs that has any promise of success should be crippled for the sake of possible gain to som' 1 ')thcr industry. I7We hive an ugly problem to ban •.lie because of the trade hostility of several European countries in provid ing an outlet for some of our surplus manufactures; but we are not prepared to accept the dogma that it can lie met by a revision of the tariff bj congress, either under the guis of tariff reform or of a dual tariff.

California Orchards Raise a Strenuous Protest Against the Reci procal Idea. The fruit growers of California, situ ated as they are at such a distance from the large consuming markets, which are in most instances 2,000 to 3,000 miles away, are subjected to a tanff in the way of freight transporta tion which necessarily for so great dis tance overland must be heavy, that makes it necessary that they have the full measure of protection provided by a highly protective tariff to enable them successfully to develop the large and important industry they are at present conducting with any profit to themselves. In fact they must have this in many cases in order to be in business at all, says the Fruit Grower. Up to this time there have been few reciprocity arrangements either en tered into, arranged for or contemplat ed, that have not sacrificed the fruit wine or agricultural interests of Cali fornia to a greater or less extent. Naturally, to reciprocate, this country must in obtaining concessions from other countries give concessions io them, and it has usually been the c»so that the concessions that they have wanted and that it has been most easy fur us to grant, owing to the rela tively unimportant position that Cali fornia occupies in national politics, have been on importations of fruits and wines. Should a reciprocity policy be contemplated between this and any other country the horticultural and agricultural interests of this state must be up and doing and see to it that they are not sacrificed on the altar of their larger and more important breth ren in more populous districts. It may be argued that some countries, partic ularly at this time Gsrmany, contem plate a very large discrimination against us by highly increased duties on fruit imports and that California will accordingly suffer. Be this as it may, our home market is the most im portant and must not be allowed to bo invaded. WILL STICK TO MAXIMUM. Tlie Reciprocal Dodge Will Not. Work Where Prosperity Is Wide spread. It is not in a period of general pros perity that a people set about works of reform. There was a deal of human nature in the declaration of that Ar kansas gentleman that when the weather w as fine his cabin did not need a roof. That is what the republican party is going to remark, says the Trenton (N. J.) Gazette, when congress meets —that in times of prosperity the tariff needs no revision. The crops are fine. Kansas alone raises 80.000,000 bushels of wheat this year. The corn crop promises an immense yield, and that means fat cattle, fat hogs, fat live stock of all sorts. These mean freights for railroads and work for many tens of thousands. With the farmer prosperous and la bor employed the stand-patters will be monstrously independent when the tar iff is mentioned in the Fifty-ninth con gress. Reciprocity Is dead —everywhere ex cept in Massachusetts and Chicago; but there will be some remarkable speeches made on the new dodge—the maximum and the minimum. The enormous crops of this year says the Washington Post, will post pone tariff revision for at least two years, and for th" prist 3» years the g. o. p. has assumed all credit for good crops and laid all the bad crops on the democrats. The Fifty-ninth congress has no more intention of tinkering with the tariff than it has of reestablishing 1G to 1. CRITICISM AND COMMENT. ICTProtective or reciprocal?

HANLY TAKES SUMMARY ACTION AGAINST STATE AUDI TOR SHERRICK, OF INDIANA A SHORTAGE OF OVER $130,000* !t Is Alleged to Exist in the Auditor's Office —Sherrick Tenders His Res ignation—He Is Unable to Pay the Shortage—Forgery Is Hinted At. Indianapolis, Sept. 15. —Alleging that David E. Sherrick, auditor of state, is guilty of "a plain and inex cusable violation of the law and a gross betrayal of public trust" in that he invested funds belonging to the state in private affairs, to the extent of about $135,000. Gov. Hanly yester day Issued an order in which lie took cognizance of a vacancy in the office and appointed Warren Bigler, of Wa bash, as his successor. This amounts to a removal of Mr. Sherrick by the governor. The governor gave Sherrick until noon Thursday to make his settle ment. This was not done and the gov ernor after having asked for Sher riek's resignation three times, effected the demand. In a formal statement issued rela tive to the matter the governor says he has been investigating the condi tions in the auditor's office since the last of August, having received infor mation that Sherrick had not made the July settlement for the state's funds which had accumulated from January 1 to July 1, 1905. He immedi ately asked for a settlement, which was made. This amount was about $235,000. In addition to this amount the aud itor in his statement to the .governor admitted that he was at that time chargeable with state funds paid in since the July settlement, amounting to $145,197.80, for which he filed a schedule enumerating the assets he had to meet this amount which he owed to the state. These items in cluded notes, stocks and securities amounting to $152,883.33, of which, according to the governor's letter, only $37,355.01 could be realized on. At the time that his analysis of the assets submitted by Sherrick was made, the governor requested Sher rick to resign. The resignation was not forthcoming. The governor re quested that. Sherrick turn over to John E. Reed, the settlement clerk in the auditor's office, the securities enumerated, and this was done. The governor also demanded that settle ment to the extent of $1 15,197.80 be made with the state by noon yester day and on being advised by "persons whom he thought to be in a position to know" that the settlement could not be made, he again sent a message, this time verbal, requesting Sherrick to resign. At noon this request had not been complied with and it was re peated. Not being complied with, the governor entered an executive order finding the existence of a vacancy and appointing Bigler. Later Sherrick sent his resignation to Gov. Hanly, who accepted it and entered an order appointing Warren Bigler to the office of state auditor. Indianapolis, Sept. in.—David E. Sherrick, ex-auditor of state, was reg istered at the police station Friday morning, charged with embezzlement of the slate's funds. He waived ex amination In police court, Judge: Whal lon postponing the hearing as to the amount of Sherrick's bond until 2 p. m. In the meantime Sherrick was under guard of a detective. In tlie afternoon Sherrick reappear ed before Judge Whallon, who held him to await the action of the grand jury and fixed his bond at $15,000. Several of Sherrick's friends were present and he frrnislied the required security and was released. Investigation of th« securities which were placed in the hands of the gov ernor tends to show that they are of sufficient value to protect the state, if taken with the SIOO,OOO bond of the American Surety Co.

Chicago, Sept. 15. —The alternative of fighting a general strike of printers or signing an agreement to grant the Typographical union's demand for the eight-hour day and closed shop condi tions, beginning January 1, was pre sented Thursday to every book and job printing establishment here not already involved in the compositors' walkout. Each steward, who is the union's representative in the office where he is employed, was armed with authority to call the printers on strike immediately if the demands were refused. A meeting of independent employ ing printers held in the afternoon in the Grand Pacific hotel in response to a call from the Typothetae and inde pendent printers who wished to or ganize to fight the demands of the union was attended by 135 officials of Chicago printing establishments. The result of the meeting was practically a declaration of war against the union. An expression was called for in re gard to the demands made by the union. All but six of the 125 printers present declared themselves as repre senting establishments which would refuse to accede to the demands of the union. A list of these persons was taken by the chair and a committee was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions which, after being signed by the employers refusing to grant the union's demands, will unite the inde pendent printers in a common cause against the union. During the day more than 50 small, independent establishments on whom the union made demands agreed to the proposals presented by the union. One hundred men in eight large establish ments were added to the strikers' ranks. St. Louis, Sept. 15. —The threatened strike for an eight-hour day in job printing offices by members of the St. Louis Typographical union was beg t here Thursday.

Liberal bonuses will be offered by the association to printers who will work for the newspapers WERE KILLED AT SUNSET. Three Civil Engineers Were Run Down by a Work Train on the Lackawanna Railroad. Cortland, N. Y., Sept. 14. —Three young civil engineers in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern Railroad Co. were killed by a work train last night while returning tc Cortland on a hand car. They were J. M. Howe, of Blnghamton, N. Y.; 11. O. Blesecker, of Lestershlre, N. Y., and J. 11. Funk, of Binghamton. The three engineers arrived here Wednesday morning and had spent the day at work on the Cincinnatus di vision of the Lackawanna railroad. Completing their labors they boarded a hand car and began the journey to Cortland. When three miles from here they were overtaken by a work train also hound for this city. The engine of the work train was in the rear and a watchman was stationed on the for ward car to keep a sharp lookout on the track ahead. The watchman said the train was running due west at the time of the accident and that he could not see the hand car. The engineers did not see the ap proaehing train in time to jump, and they were killed almost instantly. A YOUTHFUL DEGENERATE.
