Woman Suffrage in Neyada.

The Nevada Tribune contains these
timely and bravely uttered words in
behalf of woman suffrage:
Surely there never was a more fitting
time for the people of California to de-
eide this question. Giving the elective
franchise to women is merely a ques-
ton of a few years, and to our nation
contingent on circumscribing the fran
chise with the other sex. AS soon as
an educational and property qualifica-
ton are made prerequisites to man
and woman, black or white, alien or
native born, to vote, there will then be
no opposition to oman suffrage. As
things are at present, the average wo-
man is better qualified to exercise the
elective franchise, for but few women
can be persuaded or cajoled into doing
a thing they have set their minds
against. They are keener judges of
human nature than men, and in event
of suffrage being granted them, would
not only exercise a great power at cleo
tions, but the character Of the candi-
date for Office who hoped to be success
full would needs be able to stand the
strictest kind of a scrutiny, both as to
morality and capability, to fill the
Office.

views sof Mr.. Davis.

AG w VH AfAss A&eS WIS.,
Views of Mr.. (President?) JEFF
ferson Davis. relative to rights Of
constituents, sand duties OF repre-
sentatives, expressed by letter,
published in the jackson (Miss.)
Clarion
"The government Of the United
States is essentially representative.
"To deny the responsibility Of
representatives to their constitu-
encies would be to attack the
foundation Of our political sys-
tenn.
"One House Of Congress rep
resents the state the other the
people.
"The citizens OF a congressional
district have the right to assem-
bic en- .anasse, and instruct their
representative, aud it is bis duty
to obey these Instructions.
In the Union compact it was
provided, that the States, through
their legislatures, should elect
Senators. Senators SO elected,
and Accepting, cannot deny the
right of Legislatures TO instruct
them as to their representative
actions.
"It has always been the prac-
tice of Democrats to obey instruc-
tions or resign, and this practice
has not been confined TO the Demo-
cratic patty.
"The government Of ancient
Greece was pure democracy.
that of Rome d republic of orders.
where various authorities clashed.
Modern repnblics are based ON
federal system. Ours was organ
lied after q model OF its own, and
our people necessarily are law
unto themselves.
"The people of each state Or
ganized their state government
and delegated certain powers,
which powers were attained by q
correlatiye responsibility of those
receiving authority and trust
thereby.
"The organism was wise, per-
haps wiser than the trainers there
of knew; the only safeguard
against the influence of wealth
and extrayagence being the power
that is in the hands Of the mass Of
the, people.
sIn opposition to the right OF
the constituency TO Instruct. MIR.
Davis knows of no argument
worth notice, unless il be lack OF
intelligence on the part Of the peo-
pie. He is not willing to allow
that assumption that one man
is wiser than all his neighbofs.
And il il be true the Cornerstone
Of the temple is crushed"
He concludes as he began, ex-
pressing the belief that the cocks.
tence OF liberty and power requires
direct responsibility Of the rep
resentatiye to the constituency,
and this is a characteristic and
essential requisite Of our political
system, both State and Federal.

Funeral.
IMPOSING PUBLIC SERVICE IN THE HALL
OF TIE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The
House met at 3 o'clock. The
Speaker. with white sash over his
shoulder, fastened by rosette of
black and White, took his seat be-
fore thronged desks and filed
seats. and gave single rap with
bis 'gavel. The swinging doors
were pushed open. A tall, white
beaded man walked in, SO often
the head of this procession, and
behifd him, two and two, came
the Senate, Sergeant-at-Arnis,
French leading, a rosette of black
and white for some inscrutable
reason on his shoulder. The door,
keeper turned. "ML Speaker" he
shouted, ais q man must to be
heard one hundred feet. The
speaker arose. "The Senate ofthe
United States" said Field, as the
head of the procession passed
abreast of him.
"The Senate of the United
States" said the Speaker, like an
echo, and his hammer fell with q
single sharp tap as the pausing
procession moved on. The House
arose, and, through its standing
ranks, the Senate passed TO its
seats. Before those seats, in a
eufying line, were the green chairs
set to the left and right OF the
Speaker for the Federal Judiciary
! and the Federal Executive. Sue.
4 aessivefy there came the same Am-
pie announcement "Mr. Speaker,
the Supreme Coart of the United
States;" and "Mr. Speaker, the
President of the United States"
and each time the gayel fell the
House and Senate rose; and 6rst,
a file of me y in silk gowns, rnstling
/ somewhat, and then another OF
men ip oyercoats. just from out OF
doors. stepped to their seats.
There was no announcement at
the next approach. The doors
were held back, and the Door
keeper advanced and turned, and
walked before the pail bearers,
with long white scarfs. Behind
them men walked with a heavy
burden, fower-eoyered, and behind
them the dead mans delegation,
the associates OF his official life,
The great audience rose. The
coffin was slowly lowered. The
mourners and the pail bearers sat
| ia the seats left them, The gayel
/ fell. The crowded ranks sat again,
| and the chaplain of the Houseris-
ing in the high marble desk, be-
gan: II am the resurrection and
the life" Briefly the chaplain
went from passage to passage Of
the simple service. There was an
impressiyeness in the bold abb
sence of music, in, the gayel and
the mace behind him, the Journal
Of the House open before him, the
notebooks and pencils Of the Of
fetal reporter below. It was, new
ertheless, the Senate and House

No word was said. Men stepped

OBITUART.
ALEXANDER STUART.

Alexander Stuart. of the firm of r. l.. Il a.
Stuart. died at his home early yesterday morning,
after an illness of little than week. On Sun
day, December H. he complained of feeling unwell,
and on the following day became so much worse
that he was confined to hs room. His home was ut
No. 1877 Chambers-st, in ahousc near his place OF
business.
Mr.. Stuart was born in December. 1910. In this
city. His father. Kinloch Stuart. came to tins
country from Edinburgh. Scotland, where he had
been engaged in the manufacture of candy. lie
started in business on a small capital in Barclay-st
and afterward transferred his establishments
to the corner of Chambers and GreenwIch-sts
where his sales rapidly increased. Upon hls
death in 1926. he left successful business
and succeeded two years later by his sons Rob
ert L. and Alexander. The affairs of the house
meanwhile were conducted by Robert l.. Stuart Tor
the estate. The firm thus formed was not only one
of the oldest, bnt also of the most successful IN
the city, In 1882. the firm began the process OF re-
fning sugar 10y steam. This proving profitable
enterprise, large bnilding erected In 1888. AS
the trade increased II became necessary To erect
another large building, nine stories IN
height. at Reade and Greenwich-sts.
The amount of sugar refined annually was about
40 1000. 900 pounds. These Telineries were con-
dnctad by the firm until 1872.
MIR. Stuart never married. His house at No.
167 Chambcrs-st.. was an old fashioned brick dwell
ling three stories in height, and one of the very
few residences remaining in that part of the city.
