IA The National Woman Rights
Asso sociatisn held its annual meeting |
in the city, Thursday last. These
meetings used to be,vcry large and
enthusiastic, but the interest in
them has perceptibly declined. This
year Masonic Hall was not one
quarter full, and it was hard work
to get up any steam at all. Isabella
Beechcr Hooker was there, and so,
likewise, Blake, and Austin, Lozier
and the regular stand-bys. They
were AL more angular, more shrcw-
ish, moro petulant and more wasp
ish than ever. The usual papers
were read, and the usual resolutions
sdopted, and the ancient women dis
perssd, probably never to meet
again. Ten years ago these same
women were pettoa and made much
of, and they dent see Why they are
not now. They are better devel-
opsd, intellectually, than they were,
and better fitted to grapple with
grave questions. The poor old girls
don't seem to understand that all
this is precisely what is not wanted.
Men don't want women who can
"grappie'' with questions great or
small > or have any especial amount
Of intellectually. And then they
must remember that pretty little
essay read by girlish woman, with
round figure, nice hair and bright
| eyes, is quite another thing from a
learned speech delivered by an an
gulsr female, with ne hair to speak
Of and with eyes behind severe
glasses. They must remember they
are Older than they we're ten years
agc. : II the suffragists expect to
again get the public ear, they must
take it through the eye, and put
pretty young women on the platform.
The gamblers are having q bad
time Of it in New York. The law
against pool-sclling is being rigidly
enforced, and Senator Morrisey, MIR.
Tilden,,s friend, has moved his ss.
tablishnent to Jersey City, Just
across the river, and the others have
| followed suit. All the posl houses
have gene over there, much to the
delight Of the ferries; for that part
Of the gambling fraternity whose
business is betting on horses and
baseball, 60 over every night. And,
as the Jerseyites are attempting to
put their law in force, the pssl-sell-
ers have fitted up bargss, which they
| anchor out in the stream, beyond
the jurisdiction of both States; and
therein they net only sell pools, but
they indulge in fare and similar
pursuits. The law seems powcrless
to prevent men from making fsols
Of themselves when they get their
heads set in that direction.
! Tilden has announced that he will
not contest the claim of President
Hayes to his Office, "bccause it
would be likely to drench the coun-
try in gsre." The fact is, the old
man has had the best lawyers Of the
country At work ever since the de-
cision against him, to ascertain if
there was not some hclc through
which he might crawl into the Pres
idency. Last week they announced
to him that Hayes claim was i'm
preguablc, and that he might Us well
threw up tho sponge, aad he does
lit tearfully; but, Tilden-like, trios
to make some capital in the doing
Of it, Ifit cost the lives of fifty
thousand men to get the Presidency,
Tilden would have sacrificed them
without wink. The country is to
; be Congratulated that the law puts
the position in the hands Of tho
right man. Tilden's expenses fol
something over year and hall
have averaged over $4,000 a day
IIe has ble1 freely, and the host Of
impccunious politicians are sorry
that he has finally abandoned tho
\ contest. As enormous as is tht
amount he has spent, the old MAJ
has plenty left. Railroad vrcckins
has been q profitable business T.
