IempGranGGs
Women and Nhiskys

The New York Herald makes the
following important concession
In favor of women suffrage upon
the questions involving the liquor
traffic;
"The lower house of tbs Connecti-
cut legislature has passed bin allow
ing women to vote under the same
restrictions as men, upon questions
involving the liquor traffic. Whatever
may be the objections urged against
women having equal rights with mer
at the polls, there can be but little
doubt that the gentler sex have the.
highest moral right to an effective ex-
preston of opinion on the business of
retailing liquors and the privileges
and restrictions under which the trade,
shall be conducted. Were liquor used
only when necessary, women would
exhibit but little interest in the subject,
but the truth is that the drinking is in
a great majority of cases without any
excuse whatever, and the women,
whether wife, mother, sister, or sweet
heart, Is the principal sufferer by the
over-stimulation in which weak men
indulge, with no possible excuse.
"In Connecticut, as in every ether
State, there are thousands Of women,
rich and poor, whose lives are being
literally destroyed by husbands that
drink too much; thousands of others
suffer more than death in the robbery
of themselves and children by the vile
appetite that diverts the greater por-
ton of the family earnings from it,
proper purpose. To any of these the.
village rum-shops appear in their new
character as centers of destruction. n
man, even if an enthusiastic temper
ance advocate, cannot equal such wO-
men in practical comprehension of the
mischief done by an unrestrained IL
quor traffic.
"Should the Connecticut bill become
law, many vile resort, now over
looked by men who should know bet
ter, will be closed; damages will be
claimed, and eventually obtained from
the dealers who sell to min9rs. ..QQEE0RsFff .QQEE RsFff

ONLY SOWING WILD OATS.

'Only sowing wild oats" the young man
said,
AS his loving mother earnestly plead.
He pushed her aside-the fumes of his
breath
Passed into her face and whispered of death.
"Come back, my dear boy be a child once
more,
And kneel at my side as in days before;
Thou hast need Of mother, and need OF
prayer"
But her words were lost IN the chill night
air
The boy of her love passed out OF her sight,
From the light OF home into darksome
night.
"Oh mothers are weakr' he said, with a
laugh,
AS the poisoned cup lie drained at one quaff;
They seem 10 forget that boys must be men
And viii take glass or two, now and then;
That mother of mine on her big boy dOats,
But she'll find he must SOW a few wild oats. F"
"Only sowing wild oatsl" All, me! All, me!
What did the harvest at last prove to be?
But few years bad passed ere homeward
came
The stumbling form of man but in name.
The wreck of a manhood looking for the
light
The light of home in dark, dreary night.
With trembling voice he was heard to say:
''I'm wand'ring boy-I have lost my way;
I have need of mother and need of prayer
But his words were lost in the chill night
air.
The warm loving hand, once held out to
save
Was then cold and still in the silent grave
Her weight of sorrow and her weight of
care
Had been more than the mothers heart
could bear.
Oh! what sad harvest of grief and tears
Followed the sowing Of those years!
Young man, beware of this wild oat sewing,
Each step in life the fruits will be growing.

when he entered the yard, and she said
to herself that he might ring the bell
until he was tired, for she didn't want

the seventh or eighth peal she went to

THE DEBT SETTLEMENT.
Hon. w. J. Sykes Gives His
Views Upon the State

The Rate Of Taxation Compared with
That of Other StateS--A Plan for

Element of the State debt upon the
best terms that could be obtained, we
procured from him a statement of his
views, which are given below, and to
which we invite the attention of our
readers:
Question-What do you think of
tbs debt settlement that was made by
the Legislature, which has just ad-
journed?
Answer-In many particulars that
settlement does not suit my views; the
terms proposed, think, should have
never been offered by the bOndhold-
ers-
Question-Will you state what are
the objections you have to the settle
ment?
Answer think there should have
been a areduction of the principalrather

ROSELLE.

It was the last bal masque of the
season-just before fashions votaries
said goodbye to the fascinations of the
opera and ball, and fled to country
haunts and ocean beaches.
Two genteel Ioungers who had stroll
ed in to look at the costumes now sat
in one of the little alcoves that opened
upon the balcony, smoking and chat
ting ever their cigars.
''Where do you go2" said Henry.
''To Brighton. And your"
''To Switzerland, 1 think. Party of
us going; all the club; all save Stand
ing"
"And he?"
Henry laughed. "He will not be
induced to leave England, or the yicin-
ity of London, this summer" }" he said.
"He's done for, evidently"
"Whatl You don't mean he is in
earnest with the di,shing Roselle? I
fancied he was not SO far gone as
that"
''I think he cares more for Roselle
than he is willing to confess, even to
himself. But he is off on new scent
now. There is lovely wild-rOse of a
! girl been visiting friends of his. She
is from Beachville, fifty miles away.
Her father has a superb country resi-
denoe, and she is an only daughter.

fishing by her brother. If he goes

makes me lenient. Roselle excites my
interest and pity. She always has.

Standing would marry her, but he has

They moved on and did not see the
figure of a woman who sat just outside
on the balcony.
1t was RoselIe.
She had heard all the conversation.
$50 he is going to Beachville," she
said; land to her! We will see"
Two weeks later a tall young fellow
in thin coat and straw hat left his lug
gage to follow him, and, with a care
less glance at the group of loungers
about the little station, started for the
inn, half a mile distant on the Great
Northern, at Beachville.

81 would advise you not to make
use of lady's name in your jests here

away.
The story of Hamilton's defense of
her name reached RoseIle the next
day. It had spread through the inn,
as such news will, like wildfre.
The next time she saw him alone
she tried to thank him, but her tears
choked her, and she covered her face
with her hands.
ri need no thanks" he said softly.
What man would not defend the
woman he loved2 I love you, Roselle.
VIII you not be my wife?"
And she wore a diamond solitaire
that night.
Standing heard a chance reference
to the romantic finale of the sensation
the next day. a sudden sickness
seemed to seize him. He grew cold
and hot by turns, and was like man
beside himself.
His heart and soul all rallied and
cried out against another mans possess
ing this peerless creature who had been
his, virtually, so long.
All, he would see her-he would
talk to her; he would tell her that she
must not make this sacrifice a
sacrifice it was to her.
"Roselle is romantic" he said, "and
she thinks she must give herself to pay
this man for his defense of her. But
it must not be. I have been mad,
blind, to let it go so far"
It was hours before he could see her
alone Then he drew her aside into
an alcove.
"Roselle," he cried, fire in his dark
eyes that she had never seen there be-
fore" "Roselle, what do [ hear? Are
you betrOthed to Hamilton-promised
to be his wifef"
Eyes" she answered, very softly.
He seized her hand.
why did you do it?" he cried.
''Did you not know I loved you-had
loved you long time? You are sacri-
ticing yourself to a romantic idea, Ro-
selle, in marrying Hamilton. 1t must
not be-"
She drew her hands away and
looked him fll jul in sng tbs ssafde am not
sacrificing myself to any idea. I am
going to marry Hugh Hamilton be-
cause 1 love him."
"But love you, Roselle!" he cried,
his selfish heart in a wild passion of
pain at the loss of her.
"No," she said; "no man loves a
woman who waits for his friend to de-
fend her name. Goodnight"
Two months later, when the party
had all gone back to the city, Standing
fingered behind.
"a man is a fool who grieves his life
away over any woman, he said. ''And
Lydia Hamilton would be a model
wife, [ doubt not"
So he asked her to accept the va
cancy.
''Are you not aware that I am be-
trothed to my cousin?" she asked, turn
ing her calm eyes upon him in surprise.
II supposed you knew ofit-an engage
ment of long standing, and known to
all my friends. am sorry this has
occurred"
So was Standing.
