1t is proposed IN Chicago to use iron
plates thicklyl covered with porcelain
enamel, for street signs. The names Of
the streets are in enamelled letters, Of a
color differing from the plate, as white
letters on black background. These
signs, it proposed, shall be attached to
the corner house Of every street and in.
tersection. The advantage claimed for
these signs, is that neither dust nor moist.
ure can obscure the names, and the plates
are almost indestructible. They are ex.
tensively used in European cities.

"1f there were neither a newspaper nor

the Democratic creed: Love men and
hate nigers.' The less one learns and
knows, the more certain he Is to vote the

A MEMORIAL had been presented
BY Lucy Stone and other noted WON.
en- sutfrasists to the last Legislature,
asking that the elective franchise be
conferred upon women in this State.
The Judiciary Committee of the uouse
reported that the mcmorialists arc all
non-residents of Minnesota; that the
women in this State are engaged in DE- .
nestle affairs. mental Improvement
and other goodly pursuits; that they
do not generally desire the right Of
suffrage; and that tho possession of
the franchise by them would be of
no value to them or the State, and
would inevitably degrade women in
the estimation OF all good society. The
report was adopted.
