John Scales, of Dover New Hampshire, is one
of the most thoughtful, careful and radical of the
many writers on the Woman Suffrage question,
and never for an instant loses sight of the just
governmental principle that every individual is
entitled TO and should have Il voice in making and
in naming the executors of the laws under which
he or she lives. Colonel 7. w. Higginson, one Of
the editorial contributors to the WomdR's Journal,
having said, in speaking Of personal liberty
and 'enfranchisement" that "a question Of en-
franchisement, complicated with questions Of tax
alton, residence, education, and on, affords
some perplexity even as regards men, and still
more where women are concerned" is promptly
answered by Mr.. Scales, who does not accept the
statement, and wants 10 know why the case is
"still more complex when women are in ques-
ton" He supplements his disagreement with
these remarks: "lf it is right for one class of
men to vote, it is equally right for the similar
class of women to vote on the same terms. 1t is
not only equally right but equally safe for the
moral welfare of society and for the maintenance
of good government Women do not constitute
the dangerous class in society and government"

There is a man i'm Trenton, y. j.. who wants
wife That he wants partner bad is proven by
the fact that he is advertising throughout the
country for one. No ordinary woman will

(35 to 30 years of age, of targe Ceaifh without
children or membranes whatever, of moderately
tall and plump form, dark eyes vigorous health,
kind, sympathetic and motherly disposition, and
a neat tidy and prudent hOusekeeper." The gen.
tleman makes mistake in sending to Oregon for
this kind of woman. With proverbiaI enter
prise Western men will not allow to remain sin

There Is a steady and increasing flow OF immI-
grafton into the United States from Canada.
The Port Huron (Ontario) Times says that 81 900
Canadians have left that vicinity within the last
eight months, and that ali of them came into
The tnited States olOcate permanently. News
papers In other localities report equally as large
an exodus. There Is widespread dissatisfaction
among her working classes with the administra-
ton OF dominion affairs, arf, despairing of any
thing better under their own government. they
are now moving into our country by the tens of
thousands. The immigrants are mainly me-
rhanics farmers. and laboring men, and many
OF them come to the states provided with means
to purchase homes.
The liberal party OF Canada charge this
state OF affairs to the prohibtory tariff recently
adopted, while the conservatives maintain that
the general discomfort is a fruit of the late
liberal administration. 1t is probable that
both parties have contributed to the causes of
the discomfort, and one Of the natural results
will be to increase the feeling In Canada In
favor OF annexation TO the United States By
this move all the people could enjoy liberty and
prosperity without the trouble of changing
their place OF residence.

The Cincinnati Convention.

To-day Is fateful day for the democratic
party. Rather, perhaps, IT should be said that
this is Hateful week for It, since IL is not prob
natl to-day. and 1T is possible, from present ap.
pearances, that several days may be spent In
BallotlDg before two-thirds majority can be
secured for any Of the numerous candidates
nov named. AS TO who the convention NAV
finally select, 1t would be idle now to guess
There Is good material before 1t, and with
realizing sense OF the importance OF success this
year. IL will aim to place a strong ticket In
Nomination One thing Is certain. In view of
The manner In which the democrats have at
lacked the record OF Mr.. Garfield, 1t behooves
tht IA TO select a candidate with a perfect
and unasSatlable record. The organs of
Ihoic own party have already sounded
the eynote OF the campaign, and all the indica-
tloi now are that II Will be one of exceeding
Dit rness throughout. AS they have meted
un.0 others. so shall ii be meted unto them:
and unless they choose for their standard
bearer man whose past Is absolutely without
feprCaeh, they may expect to see his every
weakness mercilessly exposed, and his faults
and fofbles msgnified TO include more and
Dlaeker sins than are named in the decaIoyue.
Mud-throwing is evidently to be the order of
battle, all along both lines. Neither party
is likely TO get up much enthusiasm for its own
Candidate, and each will seek to make I'D for
deficiencies in that respect by abusing the head
of the others ticket

From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
WAeHINGToN, Aug. 1l.--A former
member of the Board of Public Work:
gives a very interesting account of the
DeGolyer case from the official stand
point. This member of the board says
that not cnly was the DeGolyer con
tract awarded upon the request of Ger
Garfield, but that this request was pre-.
ferred before Boss Shepherd only Gen.
Garfield never appeared before the board
at all. No briet in the case was evel
filed At one meeting Of the board a..
terward this member of the board pro.
tested against the DeGolyer contract.
1t will be remembered that there was
in all contracts made with the Board OF
Public Works clause giving this board
authority 10 cancel the said contract
for good and sufficient case. This mem
Der of the board insisted that the con
tract should be annuled Said he ::
"This pavement is swndle. from The
beginning to the end 1t is absolutely
worthless. 1t IS downright robbery to
allow this rotten contract to 60 any fur
ther."
This was very severe language, and
naturally made a sensation in the board
meeting. The whole affair was quit ted
however. by few words from Boss
Shepherd Said he: "Gen'lemen, it j:
idle to discuss the merits of the contract
or pavement. 1t was given absolutely
as personal favor to General Garfield
He is chairman of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations. II that contrac
ID annulled we will have endless troubl,
in getting new appropriations Som,
will fail utterly. We cannot afford tG
raise our hands IN this matter "
After this very plain talk from th'
Boss, there was nothing more to b.
said. TIE member OF the board who
related the above incident is residen
of this city, and will make affidavit tt
|Ihe above if necessary.
