A Novel claim of woman's rights, says the New York Sun, has been made in Sacramento, California. There is a city ordinance forbidding the employment of women or girls as waiters in saloons after midnight. The saloon keepers boldly claim the protection of the fourteenth constitutional amendment, which says that "no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States," nor shall any State "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws."
