ADVANTAGES OF BEING WOMAN
A woman says what she chooses, with
out being knocked dawn for it, she can
take snooze after dinner. while her hus
band goes to work. she can go into the
street without being asked to stand treat
at every saloon. she can stay at home in
time of war. and get married again if her
husband is killed, she can wear corsets if
too thick Gl-other fixings il too thin
she can get divorced from her husband
whenever she sees one she likes better. she
can get her husband in debt all over. until
he warns the public not to trust her on

When Henry the VIII. suppressed the

would send them to London, and as the do0-
nments were valuable. aad the road infest-
ed by thieves. it was difficult to get them
to the metropolis safely. To accomplish
this end, however, h. devised the follow

Pratt closed in q half hours speech
devoted chiefly to a laudation of the
imam and BROTHER
Il is bit just to say that the
speakers confined themselves to a
discussion of tho principles and is
Sues involved, without indulging in
that kind Of slang that make such
discussions contemplate. Mr.. No.
BILE is one Of the most efficient pub
lie speakers in the State, and ably
did he maintain the we'll earned rep
utation he has won on Monday even
ing.
We were in hopes that Mr.. Pratt
in his reply would consider and an
swer the questions Mr.. Noble pro-
pounded touching matters Of vital
interest to Taxpayers everywhere.
One of these was in reference to the
tax on the shares of the State and
| National banks that should have
been collected by the state, but not
one dollar of which has ever been
paid into the state treasury. The
legitimate share of such tax that
should have been borne by these in
stitutions hut that they have en-
tirely cvadcd amounts, as was shown
to nearly half a million of dollars.
He did not even explain why
Atty. Genl. O'Connor should have
failed with all his legal ability to
draft law for tho legislature, that
would be Of validity in taxing the
National banks, but instead should
present one for re-enactment that
the supreme court had decided I'M
constitutional, BY not being uniform
in it's operations.

StOneman's Meeting.

Through the courtesy of Judge
McGlathery, the evening session of
the District court was adjourned on
Wednesday evening to permit Mr..
Stoneman to address the people Of
tho county, at the Court house on
the political issues Of tho day.
The house was densely packed, with
one Of the most appreciative audi
cnccs it has been our fortune to
meet anywhere during the campaign.
All, republicans and democrats,
seemed deeply interested in his ex-
position of tho public affairs Of the
country.
We regret that the space occupied
in reviewing the speech Of Mr.. Kas-
son prevents us from giving such a
synopsis of the able effort Of Mr..
Stoneman as would do some meas
ure of Justice to him and the able
speech he gave to the considerate
and attentive listeners that were in
attendance. Other matters permit
ting we shall give our readers who
were not in ATTENDANCE the benefit
Of his magnificent ideas, and happy
