Discouraging Words for Those Who Are Anxious for Kropioytnent in Washington. To one who has overlived in Wash> ington, or who,-has only visited there : during the gajpgeason, it is regard?t} as fine br?gh$w$ happiest, most delightful ."pl^'?itp?rth, writes a Kentucky wo ??9.irrthe Louisville Cowrier-JournaL Offnerem Kentucky many a young girl whose homely life- seems- monotonous : thinks could she* ooiy get a foothold there how happy she would be. To such and to all women who are thirst? ing after office I would love to sive a word of counsel. It is true that Wash? ington is? ene of the most beautiful cities m the world. Its grand and graceful buildings, its wide avenues, its beautiful parks, its exquisitely kept walks, the rest system of street-cars in the "country, tile constant change. as one rides or walks? make it a lovely dwelling place and tie best pince to educate the eye I have ever seen er jead of, but there is a dark side of life the re that is little known or thought of Irv those who have never been there, and to one whose heart is alive with sympathy for humanity; and especially for working womens, it brings heartaches and real sorrow. It is a city overcrowded with those seeking work, young and old, men and women, all waiting, striving; hoping, many fer the same place-a place that only eoe tao SU. 1 have seen wemen with Ktt?o children thus wait I have now one in iny memory-a widow with ai child She had been promised a place long months before. When I saw her something had occurred to re? new her hope. She was bright and hopefuL though personally irail-look ing-hqogry -looking. I may truly say. She was poorly-dad-thc first time I saw her-one of the bitterest days of winter, with clothing so scant as.to make one pity the:frait body it covered. Time passed on; from week to week she grew more importunate; the efforts made for her, earnestly and faithfully, bore no fruit; hope seemed to die from her heart, and she grew more weary, hungry, sorrowfuHuoking, and when ? saw her last she reminded me of the figure in the "Court of Death" that rep? resents hunger and want Another ? remember, too-a middle aged, unmarried woman-a woman of the best blood in Kentucky. Were I to give her name it would be recognized as belonging to a family, true and de? voted Democrats, earnest and faithful citizens, and a few short years ago pros? perous and well-to-do- people. In the wreck of the past all that was left her and a widowed mother was a home? stead. It was so shorn of the acres that had belonged to it that it yielded no support Having faith in herself and her earnest purpose to support herself and help that aged mother, she went to Washington with the strongest backing a woman could have. Before the meet? ing of congress efforts were made for her. and these were repeated with zeal by warm friends. Finally, after many weeks, a little place was promised. She was happy beyond expression. Months passed, during which'these efforts were constantly renewed, until finally, after four months, during which time this brave woman had become almost wild, a pitiful place in the printing bureau was given her, where work was to be paid by tho piece. From her own lips I heard the result of it To get to her place of work she had to walk either seventeen or twenty-seven squares, or save a few squares by riding on the street-cars, rad that cost her to go and come 9$ cents per day. When she reached her place of work, up steep flights of steps ihe climbed amid odors that turned her deathly sick before she fairly got to ivork. Then, work as best she could, iome days her earnings amounted to 50 >r 60 cents, often only 30 cents, and this working from 9 a.m. sharp to 4 p. tn., for no minute can be lost Kine y dock is the hour, and one who is tardy a few times is reprimanded, and most likely dismissed. In a few weeks this woman was taken ill, and had a serious sickness, but ,her will was rtronger than her health, and her necessity great, and before fully re? covered she went back. After a little while, in a few days, if I -remember right, she had to give up, and that was the ead of her life as an officeholder, though her friends, who were true as steel, tried faithTullv to get her a little place in a more healthful officer but they failed, and she is now, I think, back itt Kentucky. mr i m How Gettysburg Was LtosU General E. M. Law, of South Caro? lina, writing in -the December Century of his experiences at Gettysburg, tells of a proposition which he made to General Hood fdr an attack on the Union left, and says: *i found General Hood on the ridge where his line had been form? ed, communicated to him the informa? tion 1 had obtained, and pointed out the ease with which a movement by the right flank might be made. He coin? cided fully in my views, but said that his orders were positive to attack in front as soon as the left of the corps should get into position. I therefore entered a formal protest against a direct attack, on the grounds: 1. That the great natural strength of the enemy's position in our front rendered the result ?f a direct assault extremely uncertain. 2. That, even if successful, the victory would be purchased at too great a sacri? fice of life, anti our troops would be in no condition to improve it S. That a front attack was unnecessary,-the oc? cupation of Round Top during tho night by moving upon it from the south, and the extension of our right wing from that point across tho enemy's left and rear, bein?; not only practicable, but easy. 4. That such a movement would compel a change of front on the part of the enemy, tho abandonment of his strong position on the heights, and force him to attack us in position. '.General Hood called up Captain Hamilton, of his staff, and requested me to repeat the protest to him, and the grounds on which it was made. He then directed Captain Hamilton to find General Longstreet as quickly as pos? sible and deliver the protest, and to say to him that he (Hood) indorsed it fully. Hamilton renie off at once, but in about ten minutes returned, accompanied by a staff-ofBcer of G?nerai Longstreet, who said to General Hood, in my hear? ing: "General Longstreet orders that you begin thc attack at once.' Hood turned to me and merely said, *Yon hear the order?' I at once moved my brig? ade to the assault I do not know whether the protest ever reached Gen en era! Lee. From the brief interval that elapsed between the time it was sent to General Longstreet and the re? ceipt of the order to begin the attack. I am inclined to think it did not. Gen? eral Longstreet has since said that he repeatedly advised against a front at? tack and suggested ?"movement by our riffht Hank. Ile may have thought, after the rejection ot" this advice by General Lee, that it was useless to press the matter further. "Just here thc battle of Gettysburg was lost to the Confederate arms. It is useless to speculate upon thc turn affairs might h:ive taken if the Confederate cavalry had been in communication with the rest of the army, anti if Gen? eral Stuart had kept General Lee in? formed, as he should have done, of the movements of thc Federal army. In c onsidering thc causes of the Confeder? ate failure on that particular field, we must take the situation just as we find it And the situation was as follows: The advance of the two armies en? countered each other on the 1st of July. An engagement ensued in which the Confederates were victorious. The Federal troops retired through Gettys? burg and took position aloug the . ? V .heights east of the town-a position which, if properly defended, was prac? tically impregnable to a direct attack. **?he whole matter then resolves itself into this: General Lee failed at Gettys? burg on the 2d and 3rd of July because he made his attack precisely where his enemy wanted him to make it and was most fully prepared to receive it- Even had be succeeded in driving the Federal army from its strong position by a gen? eral and simultaneous assault along the whole front (which was the only pos? sible chance of success in that direc? tion), he would have found his army in very much the same condition that Pyrrhos fowad his wheo, after driving the Romans from tbs field of 'Asculum, he exclaimed, 'Another such victory, and I a? ?ad on ol' " Independent Journalism. ..if yon want to ace independent Jour? nalism, you go into the country, the mining districts especially/1 said the young man between Jbe courses. 4*I ?as once a great friend of an editor in a rather wild mining camp. I had an idea Td like to be a reporter, so he kindly gave me a eb anee. "This jour? nal." said he, "is, above all, fearless and independent. We don't care a darn Car anybody; and so go ahead." I went ahead. One day, bein? down-town, I got in full head on the biggest sensation the town had known for years. A cold blooded murder with extraordinary pe? culiarities of atrocity-altogether a, very big thing. I was so early in the fray that I took care of the murdered man, shot by a notorious character, until he lied. I wrote the affair up. I spread myself on it I gave a pen picture of the murderer anti a close and elaborate account of the place-a public bouse where the shooting had taken place. I jravo all the names of everbody who was within a mile of the occurrence. It was a splendid story, and, flushed with ' imrjortaneev I marched in to the editor with my .'copy." He took it and read it, and be be^an marking whole sheets oat of it. 'You see, my boy. Jim Buili var did the shooting, and if they nab him he bas several big revolver fellows who will walk in, aud the trouble is that they, don't give you time to argue, rou getit, and there you are; so we'll cut his name out and simply say a well known citisen. Then you say that he did it deliberately. That'll never da I'll just put it in that it may have been accident, because, of course, it may have been, you know.
