in dense industrial populations. In the coun-
try they would be less felt, and, least of all,
in the rough and simple life of the thinly-
settled borders. or the far West. Like
other political evils, they would reach their
climax in great cities. The government of

Under this heading Mr.. Francis Parkman,
suffrage in the last number Of the North
American Rerie,r. 1t isa subject, he says,
which involves the whole question of the
relations of men and women. II cannot be
treated without regard to sex. Mr.. Wendell
Phillips tells us that all those who 50 treat it
are "high-minded," and all the others low
those who consider it regardless of sex do
not consider it at all. 1t will not do to ex-
clude from the problem the chief factor in
it. and deal with women only as if they were
smaller and weaker men. Recognizing the
immense disadvantages under which women
labor, he refers TO the inherent conditions,
joined to the engrossing nature Of a woman's
special functions, that have determined
through all time her relative position. "Her
greatest limitations are not Of human origin.
Men did not make them. and they cannot
unmake them. Through them, God and ma
ture have ordained that those subject TO them
shall not be forced TO Join in the harsh con-
f;cts of the world militant. 1t is folly to
ignore them or totry to counteract them by
political and social quackcry. They set at
naught legislatures and peoples" He points
out the fact that it is for the interest of men
in general that women should reach their
best development. The question is only of
means. Nowhere are women 50 free as in
America, but it cannot bc said that here they
are superior to thosr Of other nations Still,
some ask us to add 10 the cxcitements that
are wasting them other and greater excite
ments, and to cares too much for their
strength other and greater cares. Because
they cannot do their own work, such would
add to it the work OF men, and launch them
into the turmoil where the most robust some
times fail. 1t is not right, but a wrong"
impose on all the rest political Duties
which there is no call for their assuming,
which they do not want ipassumc, and which
would be cruel burden"
In the discussion Of lis subject Mr.. Park
man is bold enough 10 ~ INTO the difference
between a womans will and mans resolu-
ton. He is rash enough 10 maintain that
1.-The one can be argued with, and the other
cannot. The one is subject to reason; the
other sees nothing hut the object on which
its heart is set, and strains after il in the
teeth Of ruin. Not that one docs not con
tinually meet women entirely reasonable in
their aims, and in their pursuit of them; but
this untractable clement Of "A woman's will
will have to be accounted with whenever the
sex enters the lists Of active politics" The
evils Of rash and unconsideratc legislation
will not he lessrncd, hut increased, by the
proposed extension of the suffrage Even
now the best men are too apt 10 shun poll
tics. Much more would the best women.
"All that is repulsive TO the one would be
incomparably more 50 10 the other Large
masses now vote whoare unprepared to vote
The unprepared women are incomparably
more numerous, and, in many Of them, the
want OF preparation is complete and abso-
lutte. This Is the condition Of nearly all
those In tho lower strata Of society. The

beers not less than 5000 persons, of both

misfortune. Within ten minutes walk of

The New York Nation which adopted
the Southern IDEA that the assassination of
Dixon was only the result of personal diff
ficulty," we are not surprised to see, also at
tributes the slaughter of the Chisolms to "a
long-standing feud." The Nation admits
that everything indicated that Gully would
be acquitted, whether guilty or not but it
finds great ground for satisfaction in the fact
that he was tried At all. That Mississippi
Democrat should have "a deliberate trial,
conducted in due form Of law by Demo-
cratic District Attorney before distinguished
and learned Democratic judge" strikes the
sweet innocent of the Nation as an indica-
iion of substantial and promising progress?
But the Nation may be very sure that if
Henry Gully had not been certain to be ac-
quilted. whether guilty or not, he would not
have been tried and what is gained by
holding a trial. the result of which has moth
ing to do with the guilt or innocence of the
man tried, we fail to see. If such a mockery
of Justice is mark of progress in Missis-
sippi. what must have been the former state
of society there? And how many trials in

POLITICAL.

Governor Robinson of New York init
mates in his letter of acceptance, and the
Tilden organs echo the claim, that he re-
duced State taxation in his State from S15,-
900, 900 to 100000. The fact is that the
tax was reduced when Governor DiX's adj
ministration paid off the greater portion of
the public debt, and placed back into the
sinking fund the money that had been stolen
from it during the reign of Tweed, Hoffman
& Co, and when the constitutional amend
ments respecting the canals and prisons, pro-
posed by the Republicans and strenuously
opposed by the Democrats, were adopted by
the people.
The New York World throws Tilden
overheard. 1t says the Democratic party is
not strong enough to carry such a fraud on
its back any longer. The World is correct.
