TEIIE the great mass Of the Catholic

WYOMING TERRITORY gives women
the right to vote, and set on iuries, and
the Laramie SeRtiH| thus gives the re-
suits:
Before women sal on jurics no court
was held in Il decent place nowhere its
proceedings decOrOus and orderly. Now
the very reverse is true. Grand iuries
now are largely composed of women,
and investigations are thorough and
rapid and fearless, while formerly they
gere not. Women now sit on petit ju-
ries, and convictions are frequent and
prompt. Elections, now that women
vote, are orderly, free from 9uaTreIing
and bloodsbed, which they meyer were
unfit the law allowed mothers, wives,
and daughters to accompany their sons
and husbands and brothers to the polls.
In conclusion, the SeHtiHei hdds.
We well remember the time when
many man stayed away from the polls,
losing his right of citizenship. rather
than encounter the danger and rOwdy

Judge Tart'S Speech.

From the VOIkSblatt.
Yesterday Judge Taft delivered an ex
cellent speech at Marietta, Ohio. =
We are glad that on the currency
question Judge Taft showed himself a
whole man, and again justified the high
opinion which the Germans ia particu
lar hold Of him. Tie position which he
takes is clearer, more logical and decid
ed than that taken by Messrs. Hayes
and sherman. in fact, his speech is the
best, jJ7ieai, and Hgst c'.UFqgeQHs that
has been delivered during this campaign
in regard to the currency question. hr.
Taft takes the same position tlIat we
have occupied on this question, aud does
not permit the prejudices Of the moment
or personal considerations To retain him
from giving frank and plain expression
to which he believes To be the truth, and
stand up for the logical Consequences of
n correct and honest financial policy. It
Is greatly To be wished that the other
BepI biicGa spgater (SIIernian end
Hayes not exeeptedJ would take h,s IDa-s-
terIy exposition Of the question as -
model.

THERE has been much talk among
the Democracy about tine hard times in

from want of money, but here is what
leading iron man has to say TO cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette:
''We have had enough of imitation;
We have experienced its evils; we have
passed through the panic it occasioned,
and now we want no more of it. We
prefer to ran slowly for time, or even
TO remain ont of blast altogether for a
year or so, rather than embark on the
imitation sea, SECURE a mock and unsub-
stantial prosperity for little while and
then fall, involving ourselves and all
dependent upon US in disaster and ruin"

J. n. BUNNELL, of Delaware township,

ton, no matter how much they might
be interested therein.
Col. BoPE suggested the proprieiy Of
appointing new Central Committee.
J. b. ROTHCHILD moved to amend by

SUPPOSE.

flour Conservatives had compromised, wha
good would have come from it Let us sup
pose that the fifty-two returned Conservative
and the five accepted Conservatives had, by
any compromise or plan of adjustment what
ever, been reseated in the Hall of Representa-
tives, what could have been gained by thai
result to the cause of good government? A
Conservative majority in the House would
have prevented the passage Of obnoxious laws.
That is the constitutional prerogative of the
House of Representatives. Not even an ap.
preparation for the mileage and pay Of mem
bers could have been passed without tie con-
sent of the House. The Conservatives in the
lower branch could have stopped all appro-
priations. They could have clogged the
wheels Of the Kellogg machine. They would
have stopped the collection of taxes.
By their influence they could have COM
PEELED the Senate to concur in some reforma-
tory laws from which his Excellency the
Usurper would suffer no immediate loss.
They might have been permitted to pass bills
Of useful character, provided they did not
affect the tenure of offices or official fees.
But one branch of the Legislature can do
nothing without the consent of the other
and it is quite apparent that the Radical
Senate would do nothing to damage the Radi-
cal party, nothing contrary to the will of its
local chiefs, nothing at variance with the die
tates Of its great Presidential Master. Con-
sidered in this light, the Conservatives do
more as they now stand to arrest mischief
and thwart extravaganza than they could do
# readmitted to the House. Even if corrupt
courts accept as laws the bills passed by the
luorumless House, the people ,cM not pay tares
INTO the Kellogg treasury.
