Now that the straightont democrats of Mas
sachusetts have nailed their flag to the mast,
the various political factions seem to have
pretty well defined their positions All that
remains for them is to define their strength.
Ihere is, however. one class of voters, the
advocates OF woman's rights, who have not vet
openly declared themselves for either of the
leading candidates. Talbot is an open and
notorious wOman's Fighter, and Butler has
helped to carry through Congress legislation
authorizing women to practice law in United
States courts, and has joined in defeating
various attempts to disfranchise the women OF
Utah. The woman sutfragiSts could be happy
with either. When invited to choose between
them, they can only exclaim, there's rich
ness" and hesitate. Whatever doubts may
exist as to the result of the Massachusetts
election. it may safely be predicted that the
next governor will be person more or less
committed to the woman suffrage idea

For week past 81. Psups church has been
throngej, twice every day, by people eager to
hear the young English evangelist, who is still
preaching thcro 1t is seldom that such fervor
in the causo Of religion is so scnsiby seen in
cur city 1! is still more seldom that tho source
of such farvor is found in the formal and convcn.
tional Episcopal church.
Mr. KainSEord is an innovdtor upon the frigid
ceremonial Of the denomination In which he is
bered; and his innovations are improve
ments, which, ifgenerally adopted in the church
will impart to it new vigor; relieving it of tbs
ru.t and dust Of ages that have clOgged not q
ness to tho play of its grand old doctrines upon
the human heart and bringing it nearer to tho
minds tho masses Of mankind.
For So young man. Mr.. RainsGord is Ger
tainly an extraordinary man. We hear tina. he
is but twenty eight. Yet in both matter and
manner rs is ns insured, rs proficient and pro-
portoncd rs if he had boon in the pulpit twenty
year! He has, obviously, marvellous power
over his hearers; and we think wo sec the secret
of il in his simplicity in his earno:tness in his
fine cducatio training, in his equipoi:e Of in
toilcc:, snd il his deep piety, that puts him IN
closest sympathy, hand and heart, with the

Sr. Louis, Feb. "A largely attended mass
meeting of workingmcn and trade unions was
held here yesterday at the call of the Knights
OF St. Crispin. Speeches were made expressing
Indignation at the action of tue shoe uanufac-
lurers OF Lynn, Mass, toward their employees.
Resolutions were adopted stating that "while
VIC recognize thc right of manufacturers 10 offer
such terms as justice and regard for their own
Interests may require. We also assert and shall
insist 90 the rights OF the workingmen Of Lynn,
Mass, to belong to and maintain any orgaDiza
ton which in their judgment is wise and prop,
cr and any attempt at interference with such
right is indirect violation OF the declaration of
our torctathers which VIC arc bound to main
taio." This greeting is extended TO all honest

The public always demands victim upon
whom vengeance shall be wreaked for calamltles
of large extent. Railroad companies. the pro
prietors of manufactures. the lessees of theatres
and owners of ships, 10 the absence OF any
knowa maefactor, beiug..essy to lay hands upon,
are Invariably selected for sacrifice for loss CT
life tina. may occur on or in any property over
which they have control. and the newspapers,
as a general thing. gladly assist in gathering
the faggots to be used 10 the immolation. 1t Is
now said that the Metropolis was uoseaworthy,
and that her owners are responsible for her
shipwreck. Now the officers and crew of that
vessel koew, or should have known. vastly
more about her condition than any Of her oWn-
ers, and if they were reckless enough to risk
their lives 10 an uoseaworthy vessel. and GRIM
ioal enough to risk the lives OF the passengers
entrusted to their care. they, land not the owners
of the ship, should be made to suffer. But In
the case Of the Metropolis, as 10 all other of the
mora recent cslamites, whether by lire or
water, 90 body has been to blame. The loss
of life aud property was purely accidental, and
could not have been avoided by any ordinary
degree of precaution.

According to the latest statement issued from
the Auditors office the debt of the State of
Virginia is $50, 233,674. There have been so
