THE Virginia Chronicle casts a
bad reflection upon married men in
its last ENTHUSIASTICALLY, We are
sure. 1t seizes upon the statistics OF
voting furnished by the National
Grange and says something against
woman suffrage. Women, as is well
known, belong TO the granger So
ciety and exercise the right of the
ballot equally with the men. Ac-
cording 10 3 record of the voting as
published in The New York World
in 4S4 divisions the women in 39S Of
them voted the same as the men The
Chronicle then remarks as follows
This quite bears out the anti-wom-
an-suffrase argument that giving
votes to women would only increase
the power OF the male vote. and in
crease the power of the worst classes
of il" This is staggering blow to
married men. We never knew he
fore that they as a class
were worse than single men. We
always entertained remote sor, of
notion. Unauthorized and empifira.
Of course, that beuediets werea shade
better than bachelors. We also re-
garded society as with us in tn. I
opinion.

In the town OF Reno there lives
man who refuses to acknowledge
the right Of Nevada to compel hinl
to pay a poll tax. The consequence
has been, that our youthful State
sent her ieealcifraut citizen to Jail,
as she has been in the habit of do
lug with tho g of her children who
offend her. The prompting of this
citizens refusal to pay his poll tax
was not a mere caprice. but q set
tied and honest conviction. He
does not object to contributsag his
share to the necessary expenses OF
the town of Reno; his objection is
to the element of compassion in
the tax system of the State.
We admire our friends earnest
ness; but where will it end? The
thoughtful citizen has long list of
objections to the State as it Is;
shall he proceed to press them all
in this overt way? Life is too short
for such quarrel; the State has no
choice but to oppose us and, 1t
necessary, to crush US. We may
obey a law without oonsent,ng to it.
Think and speak We can. and think
and speak we will; this the State
herself must submit to. Bat when
it comes to q physical issue, she is
conqueror every time by virtue of
her superior strength. Unless this
individual, then, has made up his
mind to complete martyrdom, he
had best withdraw from this I'M
equal contest. There is no humilia-
ton in submitting to the inevitable.

Alcohol.

The following is copied from Maudslcy's
work on Mental Responsibility.
"If men took careful thought of the best use
which they could make of their bodies, they
would probably never take alcohol except as
they would take 4 dose Of medicine, IN order TO
serve some special purpose. II is idle to say
there Is any real necessity for persons who are
in good health to indulge 10 any kind Of alcoholic
liquor. At the best it is an indulgence which IL
unnecessary at the worst, it is a vice which
occasions infinite misery, sin, crime, madness
and disease. Short of the patent and undeniabic
ills which 1t Is admitted on all hands TO produce,
it is AZ tie bottom Of manifold mischie(s that
are never brought directly home TO IT,. How
much Ill work would not be done how much
good work would be better done, but for it's
baneful inspiration Each act Of crime, each
suicide, each outbreak Of madness, each disease,
occasioned by il. means an infinite amount Of
suffering endured and inflicted before matters
have reached that climax.
1t may of course be said that a moderate con-
sumption of alcoholic liquors can do no harm,
must on the contrary do good, when exhausted
nature feels the need of some stimulant.
am not prepared to say that it does any
demonstrable harm, but at the same time 1t is
not wise to have recourse TO an alcoholic stimu-
liant when recourse ought TO be had to food or
rest and it is a serious harm to the mind to
gain, as is sometimes done, by the factItiOns aid
OF a sumuiant, the energy which should come
from the calm resolution of a developed will.
What one sees happen often enough in life is
this there are persons of anxious and suscepti-
bic temperament who, having 10 meet some strain
in their work, or som trial in their lives, are
prone to take a stimulant in order to give them
selves the necessary nerve; they 6y to an artif-
cial aid, which fails not in time to exact the
penalty for the temporary help which it yields,
instead of deliberately, exertIng their will and
gaining thereby the advantage which such an
eXeTtlOu would give them an another occasion.
the pawn broker or the usurer, it is a pres
ent help at the cost of a ~frightful interest and
if the habit of recurring to it be formed, the
end must be a bankruptcy of health. 1t is not
possible to escape the penalties of weakening the
will sooner or later they are exacted in one
way or another to the uttermost ~farthIng it is
not possible, on the other hand to oyerrate the

A. L. Stewart, the famous millionaire mer-
chant, died in New York yesterday afternoon.
Tie was born about seyenty-three years ago in or
near Lisburn, q fourishing town on the Ulster
railway, about FIVE miles from Belfast, ireland.
He studied for a time in Trinity College, Dublin,
but owing to the death of his father and the
limited circumstances of his mother, he was
unable to complete his collegiate course. He
came to the United States in 1923, and, after
following the profession of school teacher for a
short time, opened a dry goods store on Broad
way, opposite the Park. A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, or some other western
paper, stated a short time since, that when he
came to this country he was possessed of con-
siderable means and moved among the best cir
Giles of society, but we think in this he is par
italy installing. No doubt Mr.. Stewart was
admitted to the best circles Of New York society,
for he was of respectable parentage, but we do
not think he possessed much of this worlds
wealth on his arrival on Manhattan Island.
However this may be, he was Il most successful
business man., and accumulated a vast fortune.
The marble palace on Fifth avenue in which he
has resided during the past few years cost up
wards of three millions of dollars. The history
OF Mr.. Stewart shows what a persevering and
enterprising man, who uses printers ink Judi
ciOusly, can accomplish in the way of accumula-
ting wealth. There are some who say he never
but this is a mistake; no man ever
had a higher appreciation of the utility of adj
vertising than the deceased millionaire. He had
some very warm and intimate friends in this
city who deeply mourn his death.-PutS6ury

so, don't! it is early yet, when the young man
reaches for his hat. On the other hand if he
should not be desirable, they just shove up the
indicator to boiling point, and at ~half-past nine
it is nearly two O'Clock. The patentee, casting
himself upon the generosity of a discerning
public, invites partrOns to increase the efficiency
of his invention by judicious yawns and remarks,
as Dear me! How the time does fly and in
