WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYoMING.-The
democrats of Wyoming, two or three years
ago, having control of the legislature, enacted a
law establishing woman suffrage in that terri.
tory. They did it in Joke, believing the bill
would be vetoed by the governor; but the gov
ernor, republican, signed it, and the women
of Wyoming became voters. Their use of the
ballot seems TO have been quite as commenda
bic as that OF the men, In fact, they have done
better than the men, in some respects, for their
voTes were turned against bad men who cons
trived TO be made candidates for office. We are
unable TO say how generally they voted; but
they were new at the business, and we fear they
did not watch the elections with proper care.
AT any rate, through absence from the polls
or inattention TO what was going on, they al
lowed the election of territorial legislature
hostile to them. 1t is democratic legislature,
and, on assembling, proceeded at once to sup
press woman suffrage by repeating the law fol
which certain advocates of woman suffrage had
awarded them undeserved honor.
The only reason assigned for this suppression
of women at the polls, so far as we know, is
that they are too much inclined to vote the
republican ticket, and therefore unfit TO vote.
Doubtless some show of other reasons was
made; but this seems TO have been the control
ing consideration. These repealers were able to
carry the bill through both houses of the legis-
lature, without difficulty. But now the govern
or, republican, stood up against them and
used his veto in defence Of the women. Their
bill was returned to them with his objections
Then, being moved to wrath and feeling desper-
atey in earnest, they gathered up all their force
and, with mighty vehemcnce of resolution
passed it over the veto. They feel now like men
who have Won great BATTLE and look over the
field with good democratic hope of better
times. They have suppressed the women.
We are not quite sure, however, that their dis
franchsing bill can do effectually all it aims tC
do. ltis, at least, permissible to inquire whether
The legislature of Wyoming has rightful powe
to dsfranchise voters. Be this as it may, it il
certain that no good and sufficient reason fo
this disfranchisement has been stated Or hearC
of. The women have voted honestly, and set the
men good example by voting against bad can
didates. No doubt their influence has done
something to promote quiet and decency at the
polls; and we see nothing to proveAtheir unfit
ness to vote, but, rather, very much to the con
trary, in the fact that they were much inclined
10 vote with the republicans. It shows that they
did not vote without having good reasons behind
the ballots. Their taste and judgment in using
the ballot seem to us admirable, and we should
rejoice to know, that, in some way, this attempt
to suppress them will be made of no avail

The VARIOUS CoLoRs OF DIAMONDS Few
people are aware of the many gradations OF
color through which this precious stone ranges
nor are they CogniZant of the effects these tnts
have on the commercial value Of the stone. Ol
course the first place is accoT ed to what is
called Il diamond of pure water This means a
perfectly coloreSS stone free from every posi-
bic shade. Perhaps the lowest place is given TO
Il yellow stOne though there is a peculiarly
ruddy brown, most delicate meance, which
amateurs especially plizc. The reasons for low
ering the standard of the yellow diamond are
simply the law Of supply and demand. If 1t
resembles slightly the tint Of the tobaz, it has,
however, an inherent fire and brilliancy which
make the humber topaz 70 become absolutely
dim by comparison. The diamond known as
the Austrian yellow of 1895 caras, is
OF this nature, but unfortunately so deep
in tone as to somewhat impair its fire.
The blue diamond, where the azure of the
sapphire is combined with the natural lustre of
the diamond; the roSe-colored, initiating the fire
OF the ruby; the green diamond, riyaing the
emerald, are rarer shades. When these cOlOrS
are intense, when the depth of tone is positive,
they become raritieS of untold price, and are
fan stones, on which no positive value can be
placed. Milky stones, with black diamonds
save for the industrial arts, have as ornaments
no especial worth. Some very remarkable eX-
perments have been instituted in order to
change the color OF diamonds. 1t would be a
secret worth untold fortunes could we succeed
in even depriying yellow diamond of its un-
popular tint. II was supposed at one time that
this could be effected through the agency Of
heat. Faint yellow stones by long subsection
10 the furnace heat, were convertible into pale
rose-colored diamonds; but unfortunately after
a certain lapse of time they slowly but surely
resumed their original tint For the United
States, where all the foreign stocks are especial
ly culled for gems OF only the purest water
colored diamonds are rarely il ever to be seen.

A LESSON IN DEMocRAcY.-The Hartford
Courant says that, during the grand dukes
walk through the Bridgeport cartridge factory
the other day, he pointed to several working
men and inquired Of Gov. Jewell, care these
men what You call the common people?' The
governor replied that they were tair specimen
OF the working classes in this country, ''But do
do you mean to say that these Get into official
position further asked the imperial scion.
Perhaps not any of these men," rejoined Gov.
Jewell, "but men of their class do: tbev are
educated men, most of them-that is, they can
all probably read and write, and most of them
take and read the newspaper" "Do YOU knew
Of any cases where such men have actually been
elected to Officer again queried the curious
Alexis. 90, certainly" the governor said:
81, myself, worked in the shop as a tanner till
was twenty years Of age" and the announce
ment seemed to puzzle the duke good deal
Here was the governor Of a state, as well dress
ed and as well appearing as himself, who had
actually worked in a shop, and this man was
welcoming him in behalf of a hundred thou
sand voters; it was more of an enigma than the
boy had ciphered on previously; but as he goes
through the country he will ascertain upon in
quiring, that very many Of the public men

The infernationals have carried their point, in
New York, and will have their funeral process
sion in honor to the memory Of ROssel and his
companions. The police authorities have given
way, influenced by the governor, probably, and
by the general disapproval of the policy they
had adopted. There are not the same reasons
against this procession which make the parades
and fights of the Orangemen and their antagon-
lists so undesirable; but the motives of this plo-
cession are not SO much American as French,
and most of those engaged in it are Frenchmen.
But we are glad that the police authorities have
desisted from the purpose to suppress them.
New York has many other things 10 suppress
