THE female suflragans are nearer the ac-
complishment of their desires now than
when they first began to hold National con-
ventions here in Washington several years
ago but they are not near enough yet TO
create alarm over the apprehension that the
present generation will witness their full
realization. Meanwhile the fact is noticed
that the attendance of long-haired men at
these gatherings of shOrt-haired women has
measurably fallen of. In fact, the six
teeuth-amendment boom seems now to be
supported by the strong-minded women
alone. This is in reality au advantage to
them, for the reason that the male hangers
on to their skirts have heretofore disguised
sensible people with the entire proceeding,
woman's suffrage meeting managed by
professional male reformers is about as
despicable as the late Governor" LAMsoN's
curb-stone legislature.

THE STAR SERVICE.

Certainly if there is any one branch of
the Government service wherein the people
are interested more than in any other 1t is in
the department supplying the mails. The
Star service furnishes vast area of our
territory with its mails and expenditures
upon it on liberal scale will meet the
hearty appreciation of the people. The
policy of General BRADY in seeking to give
speedy and reliable mails to the remote
portions of the country is one that should
be commended, not frowned upon. The
man who lives in Lcadville or any other
mining centre is as much interested in hay-
ing his mail promptly delivered as the citi-
zen of New York or Philadelphia. Scat
tered throughout the Western States and
Territories are tens of thousands of fami-
lies-the pioneers of progress, the people
who built up country, the very bone and
sinew of the continent--who are entirely
dependent upon the "Star service" fol
their mail. To cut these people off from
frequent and speedy connection with the
States from which they have come, from
the newspapers and various publications o
the older States would be doing them a crue
wrong, as well as striking q severe blow
to the further settlement of the West
Americans will not so where they are de
barred from the frequent use of the mails
We hope Congress will speedily vote tn,
S2,OOO,OO0 asked by General BRADY, an(
thus enable him to continue the presen
efficient Star service, as well as extend i
where it is shown to be needed.

THE Chicago Tribune is rather practical
in its discussion of Senator VOORHEES, in
vestigation of the colored exodus. 1t says:
There never was any cause for inquiring
" into the causes of the small influx OF
"colored people into Indiana; they have
gone there because they wanted to, and
that's all there is of it. A correspondent
estimates that out of the 1900 or 1000
"colored immigrants who may reach the
state by next spring, not over 400 will be
"voters; while the cost of the VOORHEES,
investigation will amount to about $40 pc,
"cdpitd for negroes whose location in In.
"diana is made the subject of Congressional
enquiry"

THE Home-Rule meeting tonight will

souls will be present to protest against the

APPARENTLY the HANCOCK boom has
been stolen. At any rate, it has disappeared;
fact that may be accounted for by the
circumstance that it was left lying around
loose in the vicinity of Gromercy Park. A

known, a habit of surreptitiously priggiug
inconsiderate trifles.

AFTER all the gossip aud comment about

speaks of them approvingly.

THE Hon. Z. B. WAsHBURNE is in

is admitted that the Republican party al
ways had good luck with its Illinois candi,

THE fact that SenatOr-elect GOBMAN, OF
Maryland, was formerly a member ofour Ma
tional Baseball Club has given to the press
jolers ample scope for their punning pro-
pensities, But all of these efforts have now
come nearly to a short stop in view of the
suggestion of the Chicago Tribune that "it is
doubtful if he can make as clean home
"run as DAVID DAVIS" Evidently tho
Tribune punster is good at the bat, for his
strike was daisy-cutter.

To read and accept as truthful all the
Opposition organs have to say about the
several Republican booms, one would think
that 1.-THE machine" is loaded for General
GRANT, and that all the other candidates
are relying upon spontaneous outbursts, as
it were for success But the truth u.s. the
wire-pilling is all against GRANT, and
the machine" whatever that is, is not
under the control of his friends.

THERE was time when our Democratic
brethren and their sympathizers were all
in the habit of deriding the higher law
and the" unwritten constitution by virtue
of which they then declared the Republi-
cans or Aboltionists intended TO wipe out
slavery. So long as it suited their purpose
they kept this up, and finally slavery was
abolished by extra-constitutional means, or
as war measure, simply because the Re-
publicans could not effect it in any other
way. Now, however, these self-same de-
riders of the unwritten constitution appeal
to that mythical document for arguments
to support their anti-Third-Term theories.
And it is II fact worthy Of note that the ma
iority of them are more loyal to it than
they are TO the real, written organic act

TEN years ago General WALKER, then
as now in charge of the National census,
had very little trouble in selecting super
visors for the different States. But at that
time the senseless idea of non-partisan civil
service reform had not been evolved. 1t
was then believed that Republicans could
be found capable of performing that duty
in all of the States in the Union. A depar-
ture from that belief has entailed upon the
President and General W. more trouble
than has ever before occurred over this mat
ter in the history of the Government.

will not pledge themselves to support the

to discuss this question seriously. The ex-
perience of 1872 shows that when such men
move out of the party, as they did then of
