FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

The New York Times thinks the re-
cent debate in the United States Senate,
upon the policy of enacting female suf-
frage in the District of Columbia, was
not without its effect upon the public,
the propriety of thus extending suffrage
having been alseesdy preached in several
State Legislatures, and in Maine the
Legislature having gone so far as to pass
orders looking to the abolition Of all
distinctions between the sexes in the
matter Of suffrage. The Times argues
from this that the subject will soon. be
put to q practical test in some of the
States, and most ungallantly adds that
+" the sex will then have sometimes else
than their waterfalls to think Of

FINE WRITING.

We can scarcely decide, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, who beats now-a-
days in "fine writing the New York
editors or their Western cotemporaries.
The New York Tribune, wishing to tell
its readers there had been snow storm
in that city, begins its account thus:
Immense forces, imperfectly explained
on the hypothesis of an ever-shifting
vacuum, dwell in the atmosphere, and we
are continually surprised by their &C.
ton" An Oregon editor, however, who
has politics for his theme, rivals the
Tribune in the following flight; 1.-THE
best and bravest of the land are hunted
down by these frothing hounds of fanati-
cism, who come like fends from the pit,
red with conAagration, and sheeted with
lurid fame, to bring fresh disaster and
death among us" We are at loss to
discover which party the Oregonian be-
longs to.

A Washington dispatch of saturur-

respondence relative TO the capture OF
JED. Davis. The main features OF It
have long since been anticipated. Moth
ing is said, however, in the detailed OIL
cial reports about his being captured in
women's clothes.
And so the statement that Mr.. Davis
was captured in the dress of a woman, is
either admitted to be false, or else Off
Gals we're ashamed to refer to it in their

WOBBLING. .

A writer in the Mechanics Magazine,
who has been investigating the cause OF
the oscillating motion of the cars in rail
way trains, says that this "wob-
bling" which is found on all
trains, and especially in swift ones,
arises from the construction OF the loco
motive. The peculiar way in which the
power is applied to the driving wheels
causes it to oscillate, and this motion is
communicated backward from one car
to another in the train. Inequalities in
the roadway also contribute to the mo-
tion

THE VETOEs.

The. President has coolly vetoed the
bills for the admission of Colorado and
Nebraska. The veto messages are too
lengthy for our space, but the reader will
find in another column an abstract Of
their argument The President, or some
one for him, in dissecting the two bills,
writes ass" on the back Of every Rad
ical Congressman. The letters of Ju-
MUS are not more terrible in their analy-
sis, or more crushing in their argument
The Congress must have been maddened
by these State papers; but it is doubtful,
that they can be repassed. At all events,
these wilds, scarcely fit for territories,
will remain as they are for some time.
But the GOODNESS of the President amidst
the fires around him, is remarkable.
His conduct is heroic.

SILENT TRAITORs.

A German Radical paper Of the West
has discovered new class Of traitors
They are members of the Jacobin party
who sit still and do not engage in the
impeachment clamor. 1t thus answers
the uuestion-why is the President not
impeached2
Why2 Because q number of Repre-
sentatives who displayed ultra Radical
ism before their election are behaving
now in manner which deserves no other
qualification but that of traitors. Spal-
ding, of Cleveland, and Bingham, of
Ohio, are traitors. They not only are
in open opposition to all energetic meae-
ures, but they are also secretly using
their influence to make. their more vir-
tuous and loyal colleagues despair of the
possibility Of great and decisive legisla
live enactments. The latter class Of
silent traitors are a great deal more nu-
merous than the others, and they are
those who have worked most energetic
ally to urge the Committee on Judiciary
TO delay the impeachment
Commenting on this the ST. Louis Re-
publican says: 1--WE hold this new specie
oftraitors to be a great Radical discovery.
A silent traitorl Even the Spanish inqui-
sition did not know anything like a silent
hereto, and in 1898 fellow who only kept
his mouth shut was sure to escape the
guillotine. German patriotism and Ger
man love Of liberty had to be trans
planted to the United States in order to
ripen the conception Of silent traitors
Should ever that idea 60 back to Ger
many, even with the stamp Of American
radicalism on It, it undoubtedly will be
returned to its originators with the same
contempt that We return it here. What
is suspected Of being suspected com
pared with silent treason2 In order Il
be suspected Of suspicion, something
even il was the most innocent thing, haC
to be said But to bring perfect silence
in connection with treason is so mon
s,rously ridiculous that no ordinary foo
could invent IT, Il requires a degree o
crookedness and perversion Of mind tina
surpasses anything We ever met with II
any political performance"
