THE Supreme Court of the United
States, before which was taken the
question raised by Susan b. Anthony
and other advocates of woman sut-
frage, that by proper construction
of the Fourteenth Amendment OF the
Constitution, women were already in
vested with the franchise, on Mon
day rendered unanimous decision
adverse to such Interpretation, hold
ing that woman suffrage is a matter
wholly within the control Of the
States and is not affected by the Con-
stitutional amendments. This deci-
sion will have very little effect upon
the cause of woman's enfranchise-
ment. The greater number of its
friends have regarded this effort to
climb up the back way by means of
purely technical construction of
an amendment to the Constitution
adopted without reference to the Ques-
ton of woman suffrage-as of doubt
full value and expediency. The battle
for equal suffrage, like every other
contest for right, must be fought out
on it's merits and in the open field.
The victory thus won, and won it as.
suredly will be, it's results will be
valuable and permanent. The signs
of the times give nothing but encour-
agement for this next advance toward
justice and equal rights.

The action of the National Grange,
in endorsing Tom SCOTS Texas Pa.
ciic Railway subsidy scheme, does
not appear to meet with universal ac.
quiescence in the order. The Ohio
State Grange at its recent meeting,
passed a resolution refusing to sane.
ton such action, declaring it viol"-
ton of the fifth section of the NJ.
tional declaration of principles, un.
wise, and tending to foster corruption
and monopolies upon which tie
Grange has set its seal Of condemns
ton.
The Council Bluffs Grange, in our
own State, has also entered its pro.
test against this unwise action OF the
National Grange, and undoubtedly
the same expresses the predominant
feeling among The Patrons Of Iowa.
1t is not unlikely that these protests
will be followed by others, for the
Grange, no more than any other or
ganization can afford to be inconsis-
tent with its declared principles, one
of the chietest of which is opposition
to the building up of monopolies by
the State. Whatever the influences
that controlled the action of the Ma
tional Grange, we think it is safe to
say that it misrepresents the senti.
ments of the order as a whole.

CHEAP railway travel between
Chicago and the East seems to be a
fixed fact for some time to come. The
firmness of the Baltimore q Ohio
management in resisting all efforts
for an increase Of rate back to the
old point has prolonged the war and
forced reduction all around in order
that the competing lines might get a
share of the spring traffic. The fare
from Chicago to New York is to be
sl5 hereafter, wit, corresp nding
reduction to other Eastern cities, and
the reduced rates are likely to prevail
fora longer period than is usually the
case i'll railroad competition, as the
rates are the result Of Mr.. CARROTS
declared policy of a permanent re-
duction 80 far as the Baltimore q
Ohio Road is concerned. Freights
continue feverish and unsettled, and
hreaten at any moment to become
involved in the general wranglc.-

Manchester bankers for it, and Delhi don't

probably be hot along the whole line. In
our opinion, the only calamity to which
grasshoppcr raid must take the second
place, Is one of these bitter county seat
fights.

in the lower part of the abdomen, thence
passing down to the ileshy part of the
thigh, inflicting serious and painful
though not probably fatal wound.

human" Now, when. Bro. Z. G. b.
discovers that this secret is out, he
will be SO nonplusscd that he will be
compelled to retire from the field
without firing another gun. No, my
friend, such rank hcresy as this is not
TO be tolerated. This Master, for
divulging this great cret, that "Pat-
rons are still human" must he excom-
municated, and all the dircst penalties
of the order visited upon his head.
Seriously, though, it would be
strange that if in receiving a million
or more members some unworthy
ones did not get inside Of the gate;
that such has been tie case is I'M
doubtcdly true, and in such eases, the
tares have to be separated from tie
wheat. The Grange was organized
for the purpose of benetitting farmers
socially, morally, intellectually, and
financially, and in pursuing these
purposes, 1t Is expected that mis-
takes will he made, and that oppos-
ition will be met with. Opposi-
ton will he encountered, because
farmers do not want to pay so many
middle men to stand between them
and consumers, rs they have been in
the habit Of paying; they do not
want to pay tradesmen such large
profits as they have been compelled
to; they do not want to assist in pay
ing professional men and high officials
such large comperSations, while they
are compelled to do the hard work
and bear the heavy burdens and re-
ceive so small compensation them
selves. Their motto is equal burdens
and equal privileges, as near as it is
possible to make them.

This country is as yet entirely I'M

Mountains, from Fort Stambaugh via

the parks about the headwaters of
Powder River, visited by Captain
Mills and his command last summer.
These parks are for beauty fully equal
to those described so graphically by
General Gustav as existing in the
Black Hills of the Shycnnc. l may
also say from my own knowledge,
that the valleys of the Big and Little
Po-po-agie, Little Wind River and
Main Wind River, can scarcely be
excelled in beauty and fertility, while
the student of nature will find
there the most extraordinary uphea-
walls of the earth's crust probably to
be found on this continent. | am of
the opinion that this country is gold
bearing, but of its abundance there
can only be conjecture at present.
l feel quite confident of our ability
to prevent the intended tresspass on
the rights of the Indians, and cavalry
and infantry in the department of
Dakota are being moved at the pres
ent time to the most available points,
to carry out my directions Of Sept.
Sd OF last year. Were it not for
these precautions on the part of the
government, there might be rcpeti-
ton Of the California Gold Beach
and Gold Lake humbugs, with Il still
greater suffering, as many of the pei
sons now crazy to go to the Black
Hills never think Of how they are to
exist after they get there, or how they
could return in case of failure.
If they will only wait for further
information from the government,
which now seems to be DESTROYS of
making concessions to meet these
new interests, there will be no one
more willing than myself to aid in
ascertaining their value; SO far as the
troops are concerned l will promise
activity in the present emergency
and a conscientious performance of
duty.
Should the points from which the
miners start be so remote as to make
it impossible for our scanty force to
watch them, we can occupy the two
or three gaps in the Black Hills and
etfectually exclude tresspassers.
Very respectfully,

Trouble at tho Mt. Pleasant Hospi.
tai.

The Board of Trustees of the
Iowa Hospital for the Insane at Mt.
Pleasant has been engaged in max
ing thorough investigation of GER
tain charges Of mismanagement and
neglect of duty on the part Of the of:
fcers of that institution, preferred by
a former attendant. The inquiry
lasted two weeks and we find its re.
suits summed up in the following
paragraph in card from the Secre-
tary of the Board, published in the
Mt. Pleasant journal Of last week:
The Board found no gIaring outrages,
nor gross neglect of duties, excepting per-
haps in one or two instances; but did find
that there had existed, for some time, a
lack of rigid discipline. resulting in con-
duct in the treatment of patients, more
particularly on the part Of attendants and
the supervision in the East Wing occupied
by the male patients), and some violations
of the bylaws, not to be tolerated in an
institution of this kind, also Il state of ill.,
feeling and want of harmony among some
subordinates, whose duty it was to cooper
ate in the discharge of their respective
duties; also some want of vigilance in the
department of the Steward and Matron-
all of which evils the Board have taken
what they deemed the proper steps to cor
rect.
Following this investigation, and
probably in consequence of it, DR..
Bassett, the Superintendent of the
Hospital, has rendered his resigna-
ton, to take effect in July. Though
it is intimated that the Board does
not directly censure DR.. Bassett, or
condemn his treatment of the patients,
nevertheless it has been the convic-
ton Of those best acquainted with the
institution that the responsibilities OF
the position were too great for one of
his years and experience. He re-
mains until July, At the request of the
Board, who meanwhile will have am.
pie time for choice of 4 fitting sue

standing the overwhelming defeat in

This is tolerably hopeful for the 7'i'
