WOMAN ENFRASCHrsEUENT The
Supreme Court of the United States have
agreed upon the following points That
women are entitled to vote under It's
Fourteenth Amendment Of the Consti-
tuiion as the right is clearly recognized
therein but in such a vague and iudef
mite manner that it viii require further
legislation on the part of Congress to de-
termine in what manner. and under what
circumstances the right can be ezer-
cised. Second that inasmueh as the
laws Of this district limits the elective
franchise to males, the right of women
vote here does not attach The decision
will probably not be made until next
week.

Professor Huxley delivered the inau-
gural address of the Winter session of
the Birmingham and Midland Institutes
at the Town Hall. The Mayor presided.
DR. Huxley spoke first on education.
He said education by caste would make
caste as permanent as any that existed.
1t was said that there must be hewers Of
wood and drawers of water, and that if
every body were refined aud educated no
one would do the rough work, but all
would want to be gentlemen and ladies'
This was heard most frequently from the
representatives, of the well to do middle
class, in whose mouth it was peculiarly
inconsistent, as they we're ever trying to
raise themselves into the class above
them. Society needed grocers and mer
chants as much as it needed coal heayers.

4 SINGULAR Observation-Disclosures
the many improvements in cities which
the enforced re building of Chicago has
suggested. is that of heating the entire
town with steam in manner very similar
to that by which it was formerly lighted
by means of pipes running under
ground from some central reservoir TO
each house, thus doing away forever With
the annoyance caused by bad coal, damp
wood, kindlings, etc. Il may be doubt
ed whether the time is ripe for so exten
sive an Improvement; but when remem
bered that steam may be forced through
these pipes to an immense distance, with
a very slight diminntion OF heat, and at
the rate of seven miles per minute, it
does indeed seem as if the day could not
be far distant when a practical applica-
ton shall be made of what has long been
theoretically admitted.

Solid Facts.

The following is from "a recent
number OF the New York Mippuig
and Commercial List. AS appears on
its face, it was written without any
political bias, and from the merely
commercial point of view; but these
solid facts have tremendous pohtl-
cal weight also as against the lin-
founded statements in which the
Democratic stumpers around here
indulge 50 freely. Read and ponder:
"rhe surplus of receipts over eN-
penditures for the last year was only
x26 $40, 795, against SIS, 453, 100, ana
$l0l ,603,9l in the two years imme-
diately preceding, II fact due to a
reduction of taxation, through whicn
the income fell off twenty-eight
millions in lS70-71. AS an offset 10
this, the expenses of Government
have been reduced some thirty mill
ions during the last two years. 1t
will be seen that the Custom duties
the past year were nearly eleven ana
three quarter millions greater than
the preceding year, which, however.
does not fully reflect the increase OF
the import trade, owing to the re-
movul Of duties from some comm0d-
tiles, and the reduction on others.
On the other hand, the internal rev.
enue receipts have fallen otf more
than forty-two millions through re-
duced taxes. The receipts from
miscellaneous sources include 20, S92, :
SO received as premiums on the sale
of gold; and the expenditures III the
shape Of premiums on bonds pur-
chased amount to little more than
that sum. The only item Of expend-
itures, besides the miscellaneous
which shows an increase, is that .0l
pensions, aud this increase Is onl!
apparent, for the quarterly paymeii,
OF pensions has thrown upon that
department an expenditure Of about
eight millions, which has before
fallen into the accounts Of the ensti'
| ing year. A reduction OF twenty.
two millions in the army charges, 0l
! two millions for the navy, ana ol
three and half millions in interest
on the public debt, shows progress
in the right direction. We have
begun this year with debt smaller
by SOB, COZ, 900 than last year, and
are constantly diminishing the eapi-
tal, and reducing the rate Of interest.
The prospect OF funding the debt at
lower rate Of interest, too, Is y
pleasant augury. The capitalists or
the Old World see that the United
States alone Is secure against de-
structive wars, and our faithful ad.
herence to our financial obligations
has won their confidence. Since
this was written, the funding nf the
debt has been accomplished. #The
country is evidently entering upon
an era Of rapid material development
that will astonish the glOomy-mind-
ed prophets, and make times more
prosperous than they have been for
many wears"
