ors from Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, and other Southern States claimed and finally secured payment of salaries from the beginning of the terms for which they were elected without reference to the time of their election. By a proviso in the legislative appropriation bill of July 31, 1894, it was enacted that in cases of the election or appointment of Senators after the beginning of a term their compensation should begin the day of their election or appointment. The legislatures of Montana and Wyoming failed to choose Senators at their sessions in 1893 for the terms beginning March 4 of that year, but did elect Senators for that term at their sessions in January, 1895. The credentials of these Senators were filed in the Senate—one of them Jan. 29, 1895, the other Feb. 2 following. They appeared and took the oath of office, one on Feb. 2, the other on the 6th of the same month. By a resolution of the Senate, April 24, 1896, the secretary of the Senate was directed to pay th

The eastern section, the time of which is that of the seventy-fifth meridian, lies between the Atlantic Ocean and an irregular line drawn from Detroit, Mich., to Charleston, S. C. The central, the time of which is that of the ninetieth meridian, includes all between the last-named line and an irregular line from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The mountain, the time of which is that of the 105th meridian, includes all between the lastnamed line and the western boundary of Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. The Pacific, the time of which is that of the 120th meridian, includes all between the last-named line and the Pacific coast. The difference in time between adjoining sections is one hour. Thus, when it is twelve o'clock noon in New York City (eastern time, it is 11 A. M. (central time) at Chicago, and 10 A. M. at Denver (mountain time), and at San Francisco, 9 A. M. (Pacific time).

The States in which, as we see from the above list, there is not business enough to produce a profit on railway operation are the following: North Carolina,Alabama, South Carolina,Michigan, North Dakota,Kansas, Georgia,Missouri, Nebraska,Iowa. Texas, Other States there are for which the figures are not available, but which undoubtedly fall in the same category. These are: South Dakota,Utah, Montana,Wyoming, Washington,Florida, Oregon,Mississippi, Arizona,Indian Territory, Oklahoma,Colorado, New Mexico,and probably Nevada,Louisiana. In all of these States it would be an incomparably wiser policy to lighten the burdens of the railways as much as possible, and to encourage them to keep their properties in fitting condition to give adequate public service, rather than to attempt to further curtail revenues which are already inadequate. But it is not necessary now to reason on

In Indiana women may hold any office under the school laws, but cannot vote for any such officer. In Kansas women exercise the suffrage largely in municipal elections. In some form, mainly as to taxation or the selection of school officers, woman suffrage exists in a limited way in Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. In Great Britain women vote for some local officers, but not for members of Parliament.
