Coming events casting their shadows before and
grouping to DC the most interesting OF al Q,teS-
ti0as.
The interest in the summer and fall cleo.
tions is commencing to crop out, and within
a month the chances Of the different aspirants
for the suffrage of the sovereign people will
be discussed pro and con with constantly in
creasing animation. The all potent argument
as to the party probabilities will be the figures
of the last contest, and none will be more
earnestly canvassed than those of the con.
gressional struggle, and this being the fact the
new B. s. o. Red Book congressional edition
becomes almost indispensable. No publica-
ton Of political statistics ever made equals it
in extent of information given, or in compre'
hensive arrangement. 1t shows not only the
result of the election of 1880, but the result as
we'll Of the election of 1878. The Republican,
Democratic and Greenback vote for the two
elections is presented separately and compar-
isOns made of gains or losses of the different
parties. Total votes are also the subject of
comparison, and this exhaustive showing is
made of every congressional district in the
Union by counties. The book is one of one
hundred and twelve pages, is marvel of typo
graphical beauty, being printed upon an ele'

the most exquisite things in the way of a rtis'

THE TRANSCRIPT which started out to
defend the bond-bil so boldly, should not
now desert It. fit was right at first, il is
right now. Eut sluce the judges of the
supreme court arc found to be opposed to
acting in the matter, the TRANSCRIPT

bill ever needed support, it needs it now,
and the TRANSCRIPT should do what it
can to help it out, if it thinks it is right.
- Register.
Our friend of the Register need have
no fears of our deserving the bond bill.
Our position cannot be misconstrued on
this question. We are, and always have
been, for the eighteen years we have pub
llshed a paper in Austin, in favor of an
honorable adjustment OF these old rail.
road bonds, and every proposition for a
settlement which has been submitted to
the people has been advocated by US, and
on one or two occasions that we remem
Der by Mr.. Basford also, who was then
editorially associated with US in the Reg
lister. If any one has changed, or Is in
consistent, it is friend Basford. We say
again, we have always favored every prop
osition for settlement, we favor the pres
ent plan, and if this does not work, we
shall probably continue in the future to
advocate every reasonable and proper
proposition which may be submitted for
cancellation of these old state railroad
bonds, until the stain of reputation now
resting upon our state is wiped out. We
hope it is not true that the judges OF the
supreme court have refused to act upon
the question of the validity of the constr
tutional amendment which requires rat
itication by the people of any proposition
to pay the bonds. And, with the Mime.
apolls Tribune, we think "the coyness OF
most of the gentlemen occupying seats on
the bench IN this state is quite too ethe.

Woman IN Politics..

George shburn, President of Rober,
College, Constantinople, has an article IN
The Independent on the influence OF
women in English politics, which we
wish every woman in the land could read
He says we may accept it as fact thai
women in England play an important
part in politics; all who are personally
acquainted with English society have
been impressed with this fact. The wife
Of an English statesman takes it fol
granted that she is to be her husbands
chief political ally. Young ladies de-
vote themselves to the study of political
questions, and fit themselves to be the
wives of statesmen. One OF the most dis
tinguished political leaders in England
says that his daughter was one Of his
most trusted advisers on questions of
state; he considered her much better
informed than many members of parlia-
ment. The wife of an English Ambassa-
dor, in reply to the question if she was as
much devoted to politics as most ladies
ID her position, replied "Of course I am
1t Is part of my work" He says the
influence of women in politics, so far as
he can judge, is of decided advantage
and is not in any way corrupt or demora-
LIKING. He thinks the women OF America
sometimes forget, that in public affairs,
their one object is really to influence the
men, and serious question is how to
exert this influence in such way as to
secure the greatest amount Of good, with
the least possible evil. This seems to
imply tina t perhaps the right of suffrage
might not be best for her, and that hel
place should lie as an adviser.
We think the women Of America are
fast waking up to the selfevident fact
that they have been far in the back
ground on these ruling and prominent
questions of the country, and will, 'ere
long, wake up to the necessity of prepar.
ing themselves to be helpmeets upon
every and all questions, that they may be
able, as mothers, wives and sisters, to
render helpful service in mans every
undertaking through life. That the home
may be managed by mutual tasks and
loving labors, and the business of Office
or counting room BIT of an equal interest
to the wife; that nothing Of importance
be done either in the home or Office with
out consultation and due deliberation
When this comes, and women can hasten
it, we shall feel that better day is dawn
ing.

PROF. TousLEY is progressive man.
His motto is evidently TO live and learp.
The action of the Board of Education
yesterday, through his recommendation,
in disseminating the public commence
ment exercises of the High School, is
something that will, we think, meet with
general public appreciation. The school
course IS stimulating enough to the nerv-
Gus and highly organized brains of our
American youth without this theatrical
feature which adds nothing to real culture,
but ministers only to vanity or quenches
Its victims in vexatious disappeintme nt.
The Professor admitted that the prepare
tons for the ostentatiOus exhibition of
accomplishments, usually acquired by the
process of "cramming" for the OCCASION,
was a great burden on teachers and pup

most important part Of the school year.

A Duty Every Citizen Owes to the Publ

A Duty Every Citizen Owes to the Public.
Every citizen who has travelled much
through American cities, must have been
struck with the fact that some OF them
wear an air of comfort, progress, activity
and intelligent public spirit, to such no
ticeable degree, in contrast with the lack
of these elements exhibited by others, tina,
it leads to the inquiry. what has wrough,
this good work?
The answer is simple one. 1t means
that in these cities where progress is
marked, an intelligent spirit prevails, and
there is general effort among all classes
to promo tc the public prosperity. In fact,
no city can thrive and advance where this
spirit is lacking, or where it is not gener-
ally difused.
In every city the residents and proper
ty owners are a set OF joint stockholders
in the common veal. All are interested
in the success of the enterprise, and the
best eff orts Of each and every one should
be given to increasing the value Of the
common properly, and thus enhancing
the value Of his own stock.
In order to do this most effectually ev-
cry citizen should ask himself, "What
can 1 do to promote the growth and pros.
perity of the city?" There is something
which each one can do, to some degree,
no matter how small his influence or linn
tied his means. If he has not capital to
found great enterprises, he can cooperate
with others in aiding and carrying on in.
stitutions which are beneficial to The pub
lie, and reflect credit on it, He can
unite with others 10 aiding worthy move
mcnts, in promoting good causes, and ia
furtheriDg bene6cient undertakings,
which are necessary in every community.
A fair spirit of local pride is indispen-
sible in every community, to keep alive
and stimulate the enterprise and develop.
ment which should never be allowed to
flag. Every citizen should feel pride in
bis city, and endeavor to make it more
worthy of that pride. In these days of
keen rivalry between cities, each striving
for the supremacy, it will not do to allow
lethargy or inaction to retard our progress.
Every citizen, every property owner,
should be thoroughly alive to the neces-
sity Of doing all that he can to aid the
prosperity and success of the city. Its
commerce, its pubic improvements, its
finances, its government, its schools, its
moral and socia standing, its physical
and sanitary condition, the lettering of its
streets, its adorDment by finer architec.
ture, and better horticulture. All these
are things which should be jealousy look
ed after by the citizens. The law of the
survival of the fittest" applies as we'll to
cities as to anything else. In the strug-
gle for success, that city will win which
is best worthy to win. Again we say, let
every resident ask himself-'What can I
do to promote the Growth ana prosperity
of the city ?'-St. Paul Dispatch.
