WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The Legislature has devoted consiiera-
BILE time to the discussion OF the woman
suffrage question, though the Constitution
does not appear to admit OF the introduce
tion of that measure, The Constitutional
Convention was solicited strongly to insert
a provision allowing women to. vote, but
that body could not be convinced OF the
desirability or equity of the proposition
and it may be accepted as certain that 1T
had no intention of providing for any such
change in the law. The advocates of
woman suffrage, however, do not seem to
have realized that their main fight was
made and lost when the new Constitution
was being framed, and they have returned
to the charge with persistence which
would have been more usefully expended
last year. The fact that the organic law
is against them necessarily deprives the
present discussion of that practical in
terest which attaches to measures capable
of being enacted. The patience and
good humor manifested by members OF
the Legislature under the circumstances
is however possibly due to the growth
of conviction that the demand for woman
suffrage is after all a reasonable one.
That the argument in support of woman
suffrage is in nearly all respects as cogent as
the argument in support of manhood SUI
frage, must be admitted by all who have
examined the question with any care.
When it is brought forward, however, both
its advocates and opponents are very apt
to drift away into irrelevant considerations,
such as whether the majority OF woman
really want to vote, and SO forth. The
proposition has also been prejudiced in the
masculine mind by belief that it is
closely akin to strong mindedness gen,
orally, and that the possession of the ballot
would somehow tend to make all woman
angular and grim of countenance, and de-
Nive them of those graces and attractions
which constitute their greatest charms
So long as the advocates OF woman
suffrage rest their claims upon equity
their position is impregnable. 1t i.
not at all question of whether womer
desire to vote. The question is as tt
whether they have natural right to vote
OF course those who are prepared to deny
that men have such right may extend
the prohibition to women, but as what il
incorrectly called universal suffrage is thu
prevailing rule of this country, it is fair t.
assume that the majority of men will up
hold it. Nor does it follow that because
women have as good right as men to the
suffrage, therefore universal suffrage is
wise arrangement. For there are undoubt
edly plenty of men and women who ar,
quite unfit for the exercise of right which
presupposes the possession of certain
measure of intelligence.
The moment, however, that men bepi,

Railroad to Puget sound.


WASHINGTON, Aug. At is reported
that Jay Gould is contemplating a severe
blow al the Northern Pacific to Puget
Sound, taking Cheyenne as a starting
point. While he proposes to reach Pu-
get Sound ahead Of all rivals he expects
to make paying stopping place at the
National Park on the Yellowstone.
FURTHER DETAILS.
NEW YORK, Aug. A Washington
special of the evening Illustrated paper
says, Jay Gould has had surveyors busy
in Montana all summer and proposes
to head off the Northern Pacific hy an
extension of his own lines to Puget
Sound. He has had surveys made of tue
first hundred miles of the new tack. and
it will start from Cheyenne. 1t will pass
within 20 miles of Fort Laramie. >or per-
haps run to that place and then go on to
the vicinity of Fort Mckinney, thence
the road will bear west through the Big
Horn country to Yellowstone Park. The
first thing Gould thinks he can accomp>
lish to make the road pay expenses will
be to turn tourists towards the National
park. This, he is conf lent, he can ac-
complish in sufficient numbers to make
the enterprise profitable. For the park
40 hsan IaciIa1 hy,t /
will probably bear west, south of tne
Bitterroot mountains along the Snake
river valley. The surveyors are expected
to report every day upon the first huns
dred miles, and Gould will undertake to
build that much between now and the
first of next January The rapidity with
which the line will he pushed on from
National park will depend somewhat
upon the yigor manifested by the North
ern Pacific people. The first object is to
head off the rival enterprise and if pos>
sible to frighten them out OF the field.
Another minor branch of the enterprise
will be road to connect with the new
line near Laramie and proceed to Dead
wood, thus tapping the Black Hills
country This will do away with the
necessity for further parley on the part
of the Chicago and Northwestern people,
for the right to cross the Sioux reserva-
ton from Fort Pierre to the hills. for
which favor Spotted Tail modestly asked
10000 head OF blooded cattle.

The popular impression during the last six
months has been that China was eager
and ready for the fray with Russia, and
was in fact in Tie condition Of Il l-dOg held
back with difficulty from jumping at the throat
of its antagonist. These statements came
through the English and German press, both
of which were naturally interested in making
out us bad Il case as possible for thcI dangerous
nCigllbOr.
The latest advices, however, represent
China as by no means ready for the fray
North China papers assert that the war party
Is cOmpaIatiVey weak, and will not dare to
declare war on Russia. "I'hc Chinese army"
says the The North China HeraH, " is without
"uanspOrt, without medical appliances, without
" the scientific knowledge to use the arms they
"have been acquiring on all sides" 1t grants,
however, that the Chinese private shows him

foreigners, and, us is well known, the inferior If
not the highest officers in the army of the
Celestias are English, PrGs5ian and French.
They have, as Gill states in his recent paper,
aexpendrd vast sums iii tho purchase of
"Krupp and Armstrong guns for their forts
"and arms of precision for their troops" While
they are willing to he taught 10y Foreigners
their jealous suspicion will not allow them to
be commanded by them, which probably is not
such a mistake in judgment rs foreigners are
apt to suppose. The wonderful march on
Kashgar, an almost unparalleled feat Of military
generalshp was made by Chinese troops under
O native commander, TfO.
Some idea Of the strength of the Russian
army may be gained from statistics just pub
lished in st. Petersburg. In November, 1879,
it comprised 9O8 generals, 81, ,4l4 officers and
ss6,425 men, while the reserves were COM
puted at 742,144 men and the Cossacks at
