The New History of PENNSYLVANIA


No want in our literature has been
so widely felt and so universally ac-
knowledged as that of a complete and
compact History of the State of Penn
sylvania, adapted to the popular peru
sal through its attractive narrative, and
accepted as an authority through its
full aud accurate presentation of all
the facts in her career as a State.
This singular lack has been made sp-
parent more than ever before by the
completion Of the first Centennial Of
American Independence.
Every citizen has been made to feel
that, By this great event, intelligence
and patriotism both call for a through
knowledge of the history, and espe.
cially the early history, of our grea,
Commonwealth.
DR.. William H. Egle, of Harrisburg,
a gentleman well known in literary cir
cles as an accomplished scholar and
writer of scme celebrity has underta.
ken to meet this demand, and to fill
this vacant place in our literature
He has devoted several years to thi.
labor, and his publishers, Messrs. D.
G. Goodrich & Co., also of Harrisburg
now offer to the people of Pennsylvania
the only work that has ever been writ.

Woman Suffrage at Last.

Minnesota is trying the experiment
of woman suffrage in limited and eau
tious way, but by the adoption of
method which vii. perhaps 60 far to
solve the problem by testing results.
The law passed last winter extended
to woman the right to hold the office Of
School Director, aud the right to vote
FOR candidates for that Office. Where
ever there we're vacancies on school
boards, therefore, the women took their
prescribed but uEaccustomed part in
the local elections on Tuesday last.
The Minneapolis papers bring us the
election day reports, showing that, in
the portion of the city east of the Mis-
sissippi river, usually Democratic, the
Democrats nominated two of their
most popular men and the Republicans
two of their most effective women, and
the ladies-Mrs. Charlotte Van Cleve
and Mrs. Charlotte Winchell - we're
elected by l45 and l4S majority. There
were no noisy appeals, and only one
meeting was held which was addressed
BY women, but the canvass though
quiet was earnest, and several hundred
ladies avsiled themselves of the right
to vote. The Tribune of that city
says:
Separate boxes had been provided for the
ladies', and to the credit OF their big and
brawny brothers be IT said, they were every
where treated with the highest courtesy and
respect, and one would hardly suspect from
a casual observation that anything unusual
was transpiring in political or social life.
! Nearly all the ladies' voting came in groups,
| from four TO six in number, the men STEP
ping aside until their ballots were placed
| in the special deposit provided for them,
and then the party would leave for home,
1 leaving their brothers somewhat astcunded
that woman suffrage could be SO courteous
! ly and effectively demonstrated. Occasion
aily lady appeared alone, but the rule was
largely in favor Of the grouping programme
Come to think of it, however, It is
not marvelously strange that American
men do not maltreat their wives and
sisters and mothers when assembling tC
exercise their legal rights at the ballot
box. Civility to women is not an ex.
ceptional trait in this country.
This tentative venture of Minnesota.
may result in some larger concession
This exhibition of bonnets and ribbons
at the polls to vote for school directors
is full of peril, for the inference is tire
meudous. If they can safely be trusted
to manage the schools-certainly tb'
most important interest in the land
they may insist that they know enough
to express an opinion on all other pub
lie questions Graphic, .4pra 10Th.
The President never sings in pub
lie, but the favorite air which he wbis
ties in solitude is: l would not liv,
here alway, ask not to stay"

Reform in the Lower House Of the
Legislature.

aOS3ciosUies
One of the many iniquities of the
Lower House of the Legislature at Har-
r,sburg was the disgraceful passage of
the Boom Bill. So manifest was the cor
ruption in it, that before the Senate, to
which it had been messsged, could act,
was asked TO return it TO the House,
so that the bill should be strangled
there.
To learn how Democratic officer of
that body-all the officers of that
branch of the Legislature are Demo-
crats-was concerned in the iniquity
read the testimony as published else
where ia this issue. When the
present House was elected it was
given out that reform should be the
watchword Of the Democratic House,
and that it would prove a God send to
the State Alas for the watchword
aud the God-send. The watcbword
was q snare, and the send was from the
other region. Bat wait till all has been
told, and then learn of the deep reform
