4 How WOMAN SUFFRAGE works in Wyoming
is told with apparent candor and truth by Rev
Josiah Strong in the Congregationalist The
law granting woman suffrage was originally
passed by Democratic Legislature, but proved
so favorable to the Republicans that the same
body at the next session attempted to repeal it,
and was defeated by the Governors veto. The
experiment has not yet been tried long enough
to secure unanimity of public opinionas to its
value, one way or the other. Mr.. Strong says
that, though in the heat of the canvass one
man did bring a carriage-load of the inmates of
house of i'll fame to the polls, there is alum
dant evidence that the great majority of women
voters are not only of good character and con-
Quoted themselves properly, but were treated
with respec ct at the polls AT Cheyenne their
presence according to one of the foes of the
law, prevented free fight" The results of
the reform are, however, manifest. The wo-
men elected anti-liquor men, where liquor was
the issue and sent Republican to Congress
without the aid of money or whiskey. At
Cheyenne they have raised the price of liquor
licenses from $50, to $120, and cut down the
number of saloons 81 per cent while at Lara
mic the women have rid the town of prosti-
tutes and also "hoed hard row" with the
liquor dealers As Office holders, though of
course entirely mex perienced, they have served
as justices, school committees jurors and men,
bers of the Republican central committee, an
as far as heard from, there has been no COM
plant of inefficency. One woman juror after
a case had been giving testimony for three
days, was taken i'll, necessitating the drawing
of a new juror and a rehearing, but the case
loses point against the sex in view of the fact
that a man had to be excused at the same

What "Passivism'' Means.

A paper in the South which advocates
''Passivism" and raises the name of B. Gratz
Brown for President and further declares
that Horace Greeley or Lyman Trumbull
would be equally satisfactory, gives an excel
lent definition of what it understands by that
term in the following platform printed at its
head in jerky sentences: .--...:.....,. 4
White Supremacy and liquidation! Dim %.

the States!

IAN Policemen,

In the Board of Mayor and Aldermen yester-
day afternoon an Order was passed requesting
the Mayor to issue an Order instructiDg the O.
lice not to interfere directly indirectly in the
elections to-day in Wards one and two.
The presence about the polls of so many DO
licemen on Monday last, and their officous con-
duet in Instances where it was entirely uncalled
for, was condemned by men of all parties, and
it is gratifying to good citizens to see it thus
officially rebuked.-Argus Of Wednesday,
With the correction of a few errors the above
statement is true. The Board of Mayor and
Aldermen was not in session Tuesday and con-
sequently they took no such action. The Al
dermen were in session, according to law, for
the exclusive duty of counting the votes, and
after the business was concluded, an order like
the above was passed, but when it was suggest
cd that they had no authority, under the power
converting the meeting, to take such action, it
was Cancelled. ~ ...f

The Progress of the New Hampshire
'll - af Canvass, 9I7'l7. SOD

New Hampshire is famous for its closely
contested political battles, but this years
struggle promises to be the most severe that
has ever occurred. Already the passions of
men seem to be aroused to an unprecedented
extent and it is difficult to conceive how
there can be room for increasing the excite
lnent before next Tuesday. As usual the
Democracy are resorting to the most I'm
worthy means of warfare. The Concord
Monitor publishes the following statement
about the alleged discovery of
A DIABOLICAL CONSPIRACY. r.
We are satisfied, from reliable information
received from various parts of the State, that
stupendous scheme of fraud and outrage
upon the rights and liberties of the Republican
voters has been devised and is being carried in
to effect by the Democratic State Committee
though Democratic seleetmen. We learn from
SO many different sources that we are reluct-
antly compelled to believe that John G.. Sin
clair, Chairman of that Committee, has ac-
tuallyinstructed Democratic selectmen to ex-
ciude the names OF as many Republican vo-
tiers as possible from the checklists, and in
sert thereon the names of Democrats not en-
titled to the right of suffrage, and assured
them that, ifprosecused for their wicked and
COuuuCt, the De1HOcrdblCf OCdU6
Committee will defend them in the courts
and indemnity them against all loss and ex-
pense There is good reason to believe that
the thing has been carried so far that an ex-
act calculation has been made, and select
men have been instructed precisely what num-
Der Of Republican voters must be excluded
from the right of suffrage in each town, in Or
der to secure the triumph of Democracy
throughout the State! adlu .tisE lJ n

In reviewing the work of the Maine Legisla-

tons is upon the vast and growing importance
of our railway system. If the great railroad
corporations have not already gained full pow
er to control legislation, they have at least
some of the most important interests of the
State. The fever for railroad charters and for
special favors has runits course unchecked, aud
now that the great corporations can have little
more to ask for, it is to be hoped that the in
terests of education, and the demands of re-
form may receive attention. Transcript. 30"
