THADDEUs STEVENS GRAVE Several
years ago. when the Lancaster Cemetery
was incorporated, MIR. Stevens purchased
two lots, for which deed was duly ex.
ecured. Some years later, in looking
over his papers, be noticed for the first
time, the clause prohibiting the inter-
ment of colored people in the cemetery
lie at once reconveyed the lots to the
company. with his reasons. and asked
that they be put upon the record. A
short time ago. he purchased a couple Of
lots in Wood Hill Cemetery, and when
the deeds were handed to him. he noticed
a similar clause excluding the burial of
people of color. The brave old man de-
clared that ho could not consent to have
his homes laid in cemetery where any
of Gods children were excluded for no
fault of their own, and he promptly re.
turned the deeds. He then. only few
days ago, selected lot in "Schreiner's
CeEetery." where no such distinction is
made among the dead. and there will the
old commoner repOse-not. we trust. how
ever. until he has seen tbs great work Of

Let il Work Both ways.

The Leavenworth Conservative de
nounces the attempt of certain persons to
-ead Republicans out Of the party. be
.suse they do not favor female suffrage
We endorse it there. It is question
upou which good Republicans may and
do differ, and upon which all should be
entitled to free opinion. Bat there il
m old saying about sauce for the goose
and sauce for the gander. which will
apply here The Conservative especially.
and, In fact, nearly all the anti women
organs, have been most severe upon those
Republicans who could not come up to
the scratch on negro suffrage. They are
willing to read such men ont Of the party
for that cause.
Which of these questions is more es-
pecislly . Republican issue in Kansas
At the last State Convention, the Repub-
lieans Of every Representative District
were represented by men who were sent
TO nominate ticket and franc platform
of principles. There was the golden OPP
portunity; that Convention could have set
the negro on q firm foundation. as regar.
ded political rights. The question was
presented the Convention was appealed
to, to take q manly position. by men who
predicted the effect and consequences Of
doubtful policy. But the Convention
lacked backbone. and resolved upor
something that meant nothing. They
can't saddle this upon Sam. Wood ; fo1
tbs ssme Convention tha. took this actor
expelled Sam. from seat iu the Convcn
tion. The last Republican Legislature
presented the questions Of negro suffrag
and female suffrage at one and the sam
time-they are now before the people
and one is ss much Republican measur
ssithe other-both are appeals for righ
and justice.
Opposition to negro suffrage, is solely
from prejudice. Opposition to femal
suffrage. is equally prejudice. Wha
right have one side TO ask the other t.
yield their prejudices, while clinging will
. daath-grip to their own? We know
men who were Republicans siraigb
through, and are still undoubted, bu
who will vote against negro suffrage
The reason Of this simply is, that they
have not yet been educated out of theil
prejudices. which were more deeply rooted
on that point than any other-precisely
ss the editors of the Leaven@orth Con
servative, the Atchison Champion. and
many other editors and men who are not
editors, have not been educated out of
their rrejudices against female suffrage.
While they are cssayiug to teach, let
them also be willing to learn. At any
rate, let them not denounce men for being
shaky on one proposition, and claim ex.
emption for themselves on the other.
IWeintend to vote for negro suffrage
and for female suffrage; and we know
many good aud tried Republicans who
will vote for neither.

DocToRs DIFPRR.-The Oskaloosa H.

shocked at the indecency Of the Black
Crook performance, and says the shame

selves, are the sort of creatures whom il

denouncing the Black Crook as an i'm

profess to look upon women as beings too

it would postpone it one day. which
which was equivalent in this case to post

TpE OrHEa SIDE.-Wo have been
asked to give the other side Of the woman
suffrage question occasionally. II we
were fighting on both sides, we might do
90 bu, as it is. We fear we should make
a worse out than we do on only one side.
The only disadvantage we can see. or
rather spprehend. is that whenever pretty
women ran for Office. there world be no
show for the old rusty politicians and Of
fice.seekers who have been accustomed
to running the machine. The Legisla-
ture and nearly all the public Offices.
would be filled with women. Under the
present arrangement. whenever it is de-
sired to beat . man. and at the Same time
humiliate him, q negro. or white man
| who is the laughing stock Of the whole
country, is brought out against him.
Uuder the proposed arrangement. when
the enemies of candidate cannot beat
him otherwise, they will be sure to bring
| ont some good-natured old woman
against him. and will be just that snre to
beat him. Just think of the entire Gov.
ernment of the State being in the hands
of old women Although it would bc a
decided improvement upon good deal
of our p,st experience. those who do not
wish to see such state of affairs brought
about. should assist in voting down the
"pernicious doctrine" Of female suffrage.
