Women seem to be taking prominent
part in the New York School elections under the
recent law. In Fayetteville they polled 100
votes and electeda woman trustee, clerk and
librarian. We notice many other sharp con-
tests in which they take part. The notion
that women will not vote when they see that
some good thing may be effected by their vot-
ing is one Of the shallowest arguments ever
advanced against universal suffrage. Wo-
men will no doubt dislike to mix in politics
uselessly, but wherever they are convinced
that good cause will be advanced by their
votes, those votes will certainly be cast.

An Earnest Wish

Rev. e. +. l.. Gauss, Galena, Ills, writes:
s'For over ten years I had been a great suf-
ferer from paing Id the small of the back and
region of the Kidneys. which was almost ex-
cruciating and at times almost insufferabIe.
Doctoring brought.no relief, except perhaps
momentarily, and was finally advised, being
to fulfill the duties of my calling, to 90 abroad
and seek the climate of my youth. In Ger
many and Switzerland, eminent physicians,
after close examinations, declared my suf-
ferings to arise from disease of the Kidneys,
of long standing, and could do me no good. I
was, however, benefited by the climate and
consequently returned. No sooner had been
back and resumed my pastoral work, when
the old trouble grew again so intense as to
make life a burden. A few months ago
came in possession of one Of DAYS KIDNEY
PADS, put it on, and the effects were truly
wonderful. The pains at once grew less and
are now. after wearing the second Pad, en-
tirely goue, and there can be no doubt that
am entirely cured, as / write this some weeks
after its use. and am strong and look again
the very picture OF health. | write this per-
fectly voluntarily, and it is dictated only by
truth and gratitude Indeed I consider the

benefactors of mankind, May all the suffer-
ing be helped IS have been, 10 my earnest

Hancock and the Tariff

The effect of the agitation of the tariff ques-
ton in the October elections, and Its evident
effect adverse to the Democracy, has brought
out a letter from Gen. Hancock favoripg the
Eaton plan of Commission for the revision Of
the tariff. He says:
81 am too sound an American to advocate
any departure from the general features of q
policy that has been largely instrumental 10
building up our industries and keeping Ameri-
cans from the competition of the underpaid
labor of Europe.
"If weintend to remain honest and nav the
public debt, as good people of all parties do,
and if we mean to administer the functions of
government, then we must raise revenue in
one way or another. With reunited and
harmonious country we shall certainly in time
pay off the public debt, but the necessity of
| raising money for the administration of the
Cover nment will continue as long as human
nature lasts. All parties agree that the best
way for US to raise revenue is largely by the
tariff. So far as we are concerned, therefore,
all talk about free trade 10 folly
''But the tariff question will probably be
treated with most justice to all our interests
and people by some such bill as Eaton's
believe that commission of intelligent ex
| our Ame1can industries, will suggest tariff
measures which will relieve us of any crudi-
ties aud Inconsistencies existing in our present
laws, and CONFIRM to US system which will
be judicious, just, harmonious, and incident
ally protective as well as stable in its effects.
All this is very fair, and if such are the
views of the party Gen. Hancock represents,
manufacturers would view the November con-
test very differently from what they now do.
The trouble is that the Democracy of today,
being as they are fond of boasting the lineal
heirs of the Jacksouian Democracy of half a
century since, have on hand set of free trade
principles which they are afraid to use, but
| are too conservative to throw away They
dare not attack the protective tariff now in
force, yet they threaten such an attack just
| enough to alarm the manufacturers who are
growing rich under that tariff We are one
| of those who believe in the the need of a care.
full, thorough tariff revision, such as Mr..
Eaton's proposed commission may, or may
not, report. Should they report such meas
ure, however. we have little expectation thai
| Democratic Congress would ever pass the
bill.
The cession OF Dulcigno. now thought to be
assured, shows how little power of resistance
| there is left IN Turkey. The threat of taking
possession of port or two from which the
Turkish government derives. solid revenue
brought the Porte to terms. The next cessior
to secure is that promised to Greece. Here
too. there will be many resolute refusals be-
fore the final assent is given. The change OIL
front wrought in British foreign policy by the
fall of Beaconsfeld Is no doubt sincerely Ia
mented by the indispensable Turk"
