(DnoO OUR ItEeoLAn cennettemconeere waehington, Mor, 81, 1088, The wide saope of the topics of discus- sion at the women's donforence, gives un- usual interest to the proaoodings. The improvement in their political condition is only one of the matters being oonsid- orod, and the attention given to their notable advances in other lines of devel- opment draws to the city certain re •re- sentative women, and adds to the audien• oes a number of hearers who would not be attracted if the c undo bad but n single end in view. Nothing that pertains to womon is foreign to the conforenee, and this comprehensiveness of plan, involving a review of what has been accomplished in all lines of doe lopmont, gives to the gathering a cheerful end oongratulatory tone, which might be wanting if political conditions were along discus ed. Wom- tan'e rights in the matter of education have brought to the city speakers from India, Denmark and Norway, and from widely -separated sections of the United States, 4o that the subject of philan- thropies, including prison reform, hospit- al work and work among the Indiana, the great temperance question, the oonsider- ation of women in the professions and in- dustries and soh topics as social purity woman's legal condition have been the magnets to draw to Washington the workers in the field suggested, and to give a certain reprosentetive character to this congress of women. Thr organizations to be perfected as a result of the confer. on00 promise to be of historical interest and importance. The groat impediment to many movements for the benefit of the gentle sex bas been the apparent indif- ference of the beneficiaries of the alleged improvement. Tho reformer's work of proselyting is more necessary among the men. Outside of the few requests by women for recognition of alleged rights to which valid objection supported by sound argument can be urged --and those aro few, indeed—there is probably no benefit which women, acting in organization and speaking with substantially one voice, can ask, which the mon will nob be quick to bestow. The President's message recommending legislation for the exclusion of French and German swine from American ports will not create a great stir in the pork market here. In 1887 the pork products imported into the United States wore too insignificant in amount to be specially elm ether! in the stetistioaltables, and the total imports of meat products for the twelve months only slightly exceeded four thousand dollars in value. During the same period the live swine brought here f,om other countries were included in a general classification of "all others," as distiuguished from cattle, horses and sheep, and the value of the total did not reach throe thousand dollars. mesh a discrimination ae the President proposes, nevertheless, would be gratifying to the patriotic feelings of many Americans, who have nob forgotten the uujnst treat- ment of American swine end pork by the, nations rps:dallyaimed se. Several Congressman have received letters from their constitnente, onolosing letters from a fraud in this ally, who has written similar letters to probably every fourth -clave postmaster in this country, telling them that for $1 he will have their salaries raised. The writer gave as a reference Senator Vance, of Norbh Caro. line. One of these letters was shown to the Senator, and he promptly deolared he "had never and of the reseal." The name signed to the latter is probably an alias. The scheme was no doubt suggest- ed on account of the probability of the success of a bill recently introduced by Congressman Blount, of Georgia, chair- man of the committee on postoffioes and goer roads, to increase the salaries of all fourth-olass pot -treaders in the country. Mr. Blount's bill has the cordial support of the Postmaster•Geueral. Treasurer Hyatt has adopted it new sal for use on United States notes and certificates. It is similar in design to the large one used on the $20 note, with the addition of a small lace border with many points .in geometric lathe work. It is light pink in Dolor, circular in form and nearly two inches in diameter. Hereto- fore a separate seal was used on notes and gold and silver oortifloates, varying iu size and design according to the char- acter and denomination of the 'note, Hereafter the new seal will be used ex- clusively on all paper issued.. The change in the size and design'is said to be in the nature of an additional safeguard against counterfeiting. • F. BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1888. Number 39.

One of the beet public school examin- ations it bas ever been our pleasure to be at, wits held in Zetland last week. About sixty of the parents and friends in the section were present to witness the an- swers given by their children to questions asked by the visiting teachers.
