A Coon IDEA.-Wouldn't it be a good
idea, now that the fraudulent voting list
from Granite City is to be Investigated
into, to make a full investigation as to
how, when, and where Chas. l.. Bird,
the defaulting County Treasurer of Sac
ramento, lost the fourteen thousand
dollars which his bondsmen were COM
PEELED to make good? We are as much
opposed to gambling as we are to frauds
in the elective franchise, and we would
really like to know who got Birds
money, as well as to know who are the
guilty parties in the contemplated cleo
ton frauds. We should also like to be
informed, as u matter of news, who has
been indicted for gambling in Sacra-
mento county by the Grand Jury during
the last three years, and who, on ac-
count Of their influence and position,
escaped the penalty of a five hundred
dollar fine, while others, in less in1uen-
tial circumstances and less guilty, were
compelled to pay the full amount

The Great Register of Santa Clara
contains 1880 names, which is nearly
l,0Oe more than the total number of
votes cast there in any year. Humboldt
has over 1900 names on its Register,
while it has never cast more than 700
votes.y Yolo has on it, Register a larger
number Of names than II has cast votes,
and this we are beginning to believe
will be the fact in most Of the counties

raj ones. We have the figures from
but one mining county-Nevada-and
they are ahead Of its vote. These facts
together with those pubtshedi in yester-

No RrsExBLAxcr.-Prof. Huxley has
Just concluded the delivery Of a series
of lectures, at the Royal Institute, Lon.
don, on Ethnology. The London cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
dated June Goth, describes the twelve
lectures as constituting the greatest
series ever delivered in London, on the
subject" He adds:
at ia impossible for me, in the space
of q letter, to furnish W an outline Of
the wonderful statement, which was
illustrated by ethnographic maps, skulls,
and portraits Of persons Of all races, in
both ancient and modern times. l
must content myself with presenting
a few Of the principles which make his
method Of inquiry and the general
results at which he arrived" "He
strongly opposes the idea that diff
ferences of climate could eyer have pro-
duced the notifications Of races, and
insists that the mixture Of races accounts
for all. he traces no resemblance bettosen
the Africans and any other race, and finds
that there is . geographical reason for
believing that the Northern or els
Ssharal part Of Africa was a part Of
Europe, and ultra-Saharal Africa was
an island"

ANovel View Of womanhood Suffrage"
The Portage (Wisconsin) State Regis
ter presents some new views on the ques-
ton of universal suffrage" which will
be read with interest. 1t says; Bg
But there are very many other reasons
besides the dry, hard, incontroyertible
facts in the case, why we do and shall
favor the extension oSthe elective fran
chise to the ladies. We want elections
conducted on different principles we
want new political issues at the polls,
which shall render the task of being a
committeeman less onerous. It is a
thankless task that impels men to stand
at the polls all day, rain or shine, snarl-
ing at and elbowing each other because
of difference in political views-all for
the public good. There has not been an
election for many years now when it has
not cost the writer Of this article a good
round sum for teams to take to the polls
SOM laggard or aged and infrm voter,
who could not get there without assist
auce. II, instead of running after. the
halt, lame, blind and the laggards with
a double team or hay-rack, we can take
II well equipped buggy aud ride around
to our neighbors after the mornings
work has been "done up" and accom-
modate the ladyofthe house with a ride
to the polls, we can see that there will
be far more pleasure in it than hauling
some cripple to the polls on a stone
boat and after having brought in the
''last man. it would not make much
difference who has carried the election
we shall have enjoyed a seasonable
time any how. Or if after = little the
ladies get up the most enthusiasm in
the elections and are on the ground first,
thereby likely 10 destroy the pleasure
we had anticipated in calling for them,
we can in some degree mitigate the evil
by staying at home ourselves, aud being
called for by some enthusiastic lady.
We have no respect for the arguments
which many are fond Of making, that
the noise, turbulence, and heated polit-
ical discussions which sometimes take
place at the polls render those places
unfit for ladies to frequent. 1.-THE ladies
attended elections, we should expect to
see the same courtesies, propristies and
decorum distinguish these gatherings
that we now see at public meetings,
churches, pic-nics, etc. We can see
no more likelihood of improprietIes than
we now see at gatherings at the post
offices, when gentlemen and ladies meet
there. So we are Ia favor Of female

srYpr1o ETHER TO STOP BLEED

M 44NS ~ ~
II is well known that cold, if applied
in a proper manner, and by the use of
ice, etc., will put an immediate stop to
the flow of blood, even when it comes
from small arteries. After a time, how
ever, if the cold be withdrawn, there is
reaction, renewal Of the circulation and
bleeding. More permanent andAcom-
plete effects, however, have been re-
Gently obtained from q new compound
of ether, proposed and used for the pur-
pose by Dr.. Benjamin w. Richardson,
of London. He calls Il styptic ether,
the chief feature of which is its holding
in solution xyloidine and ,%anniu, the
astringent principle Of oak bark. It is
thrown on the bleeding part in the form
of a fine spray, through a tube pre-
pared for the purpose. In order to test
the extreme effects of the compound as
a styptic, or means Of checking bleed
ing, DR.. Richardson took sleeps blood,
removed all the ibrin or c~oagulable
part, and then let the blood remain Ok
posed to the air for two days to insure
partial decomposition. In this way the
blood was rendered nearly as fluid as
port wine, and in the most u~nfavorable
condition for being transferred into
clot. A few t~easpoonfuls Of the blood
we're now placed in a saucer and this
was warmed to the temperature OF the
body. The spray of the styptic ether
was then directed upon the fluid blood
from a fall-sized spray tube, and in Eve
seconds the whole mass Of blood was 80
thoroughly solidifed that the saucer
could be turned upside down without
the escape Of any fluid. The blood,
which had previously presented the
odor ~putrifsction, was also deodor-
lied, and remained so for ton days after
the experiment. ~
When the styptic ether spray is d.
rected on an open bleeding and living
surface, the first effects are those pro-
duced by the cold, namely, the couden-
sation and whitening of the tissues. If
blood be flowing it solidi6es and when
the parts relax new blood that may ooze
out enters the solid blood as though it
we're a sponge, quickly solidifying it by
cosgulation and stopping further flow.
The styptic ether cannot only be applied
to open wounds Of the skin, but also to
bleeding after the extraction of teeth,
and from other internal parts. The
styptic ether, containing xyloidiue and
t~sunin, will keep ready for use any
length of time and a. very small guam
titles of it are required, it should become
of standard service to the medical prac-
~titiouer. II would also be of great use
to surgeons on board ships and to army
surgeons. Any hospital nurse or at
,endant previously instructed could ap-
ply this remedy. 1t would also form a
desirable addition to the medical cabinet
of travellers, who, by necessity, are
often removed from the direct succour
afforded by medical art.

A PaAcTIoAL COOPERATIVE EMovE-
NENr.-The members Of the Carpenters
Eight Hour League Of this city have
taken the ~initiatory steps for the for
nation Of a cooperative society on a
large scale. On Saturday the " House
Carpenters Eight Hour Protective
Union filed a certificate Of incorpor-
alton, the capital stock being one mil
lion dollars, divided into ten thousand
shares of one hundred dollars each,
payable one dollar per month on each
share. The object Of this new associa-
ton is " to erect a mill for the purpose
Of manufacturing doors, blinds, sash,
flooring, molding, erect buildings" etc.
We are glad to see the eight-hour
men disposed to take the only means by
which they can make themselves mas
tiers Of the situation. If the new socie-
ty is managed honestly and efficiently,
it can hardly fail to be successful, and,
besides the immediate benefits which
will accrue to its members, will inaugu-
rate upon this coast the most promising
industrial movement Of 1.-THE age. When
workingmen become their W employ
ers, as in this way it is perfectly practi-
cable for them to become, they can ar
range the hours of labor to suit them
selves, and we shall hear Of no more
strikes, and no more of the antagonism
between capital and ~labor-the stomach
and arms Of the old fable. The co-opera-
tive system has already, in numerous
cases both in Europe and the East, been
successfully applied on a much larger
scale than is contemplated by this So
ciety, and there can be 10 doubt that it
will be equally successful here if entered
into with the necessary good faith, pru-
dence, and Judgments. r. Times.

FRENCH EDUcArioN.-Some time ago
a committee was appointed BY the
French Chambers to inquire into the
condition of the agricultural population
Of France in their relation to the mill
tary service. This committee has in
cidentally made some reports with
regard to education among this class Of
the French people. 1t appears from
these reports that in ls4s the proper
ton of men liable to military service
who could neither read nor write was
3s.l2 per cent; in 1868, 1851; and in
1855, 24.32 per cent. The proportion
Of uneducated is, of course,
much greater; in 1856 it was 1902 per
cent. The amount of education varies
very much in the different departments.
In that Of the Vosges LIE per cont. Of
the s~ble-bodied male population only
are unable to read or write, while in the
Haute-Vieune the proportion is 1919
per cent. The number Of village schools
is increasing, but 694 out Of the 37,54s
communes are still without schools.
In 1865 there were 44O, 900 children be-
tween the ages of seven and thirteen
who had never been to school, and, Of
those who had been, 49.s per cent. only
went to school all the year round. The
French government has devoted par
ticular attention to evening schools for
adults, of which there were but 1898 in
January, while their number has now
increased to 2s,546. These schools
were attended last year By 552, sSs men
and 42,567 women. OF these 62,2l2
learned to read, lo2, 1872 to read and
write, le4,l02 became tolerably pro-
fcient in arithmetic, 56,o5s in geometry,
80, 2s2 in bookkeeping and commercial
accounts, 22,34o in drawing, 1890
in singing, and $3.50 in natural
philosophy.
