in streets, the silence of desolstion. 10 scores
Of bsrouies in the west and south, nearly all
the young men and women have gone to
America or England. Those left to till the
land are old people. who prefer to die where
their fathers died. Ia some parishes the
poorhouse contains almost as many people
as there are outside of it. Census returns do
not, however, show the full extent of the
depopulation. At least 5000 agricultural
laborers cross to Eoglsnd n Scotland every
year for the harvest; they live in Ireland,
but Ireland does not provide them with their
living.

Municipal suffrage in i Scotland.

The Scottish women have sorely felt the
absence of the advantage which their sisters
in England had as voters in municipal mat
ters. Now the bill has passed which puts
them Oh The same footing. The Suffrage
journal r'porls these facts: The parlis-
ment of the United Kingdom has rat
flied the principle of woman Suffrage by
passing the municipal franchise bill for
Scotland. 1t is now twelve years since EGG
lish women have enjoyed privilege denit d
to their Scottish sisters, and every succeed
ing election has demonstrated with iocreas,
ing clearness the interest which women
take in the vote, and the SQUAD judgment
with which they exercise it. The principles
which underlie all municipal franchises are
precisely the same rs those of the parlia-
mentary franchise, and form the best possi-
bic preparations for its exercise. The Scot.
fish ladies we'll know how to avail them.

member how thoroughly they appreciated

The II ,erests that are affected by
the municipal vote are not less important,
and are still more varied, and it viii. be the
duty of every woman householder carefully
to examine these matters and conscientiously
discharge her new responsibilities for the
benefit of herself and all other citizens. The
act will not come into force till next year,
but lis educational Influence will begin i'm
medlately. We hesrtily congratulate the
Scotland women on this substantial triumph.
The success which has attended the exer>
cise OF municipal suffrage for women during

tension OF tho same right 10 the women Of
Scotland now, should BIO both stimulus and

TIRE HUNGARIAN SLEEPER"

Special TO the & ,obs- Democrat.
A special from Reading, Pa, Gays tbs lSt
days slice John Gyumber, famous rs "The
Hungarian Sleeper" was admitted to the
poor house OF Lehigh county. Although IN
all this time he has had the most careful
attention and been closely watched, it was
not until last evening that he WAS known
TO utter one Ineligible word or sem
tence. -Four weeks ago the condition
of the sleeper was such that his death was

q natural hue. His strength has returned,
and he is gaining 10 weight. He dresses and
undrcsses himself without assistance, and
goes to bed and rises without help. Last
evening several gentlemen from Attention
drove to the aims house 10 SEQ the famous
sleeper, and when they entered the room
they found Gyumber sitting on chair with
his eyes fixed upon the floor. One
of them reached out his hand to
shake hands, but Gyumber took no notice of
him and left his hand lying on bis knee.
The gentleman then put white csrnation
flower to the Hungsrian's nose, which caused
the latter to smile, and he smiled again when
asked whether his name WAS John. The
flower was then placed 10 his hand, where.
upon be remarked, "Kozuem," which in the

words had barely left his lips when tears

The term senatorial courtesy has been
made the theme Of innumerabie newspaper
articles and has furnished the basis for scores
Of press dispatches OF late. Starting out with
the theory that this courtesy" was something
underlined, an effort has been made to write 1t
into palpable shape; but the more 1t Is handled
the more elastic it has grown until now 1t Is
stretched so as 10 include about everything in
the Senate. The country has been Informed
that the democratic Senators will vote With Mr.
Conkling to establish senatorial courtesy" as
the rule, because under IL they (the democratic
Senators) would have to be consulted In regard
10 the confirmation Of nominations, and that
when both Senators from state, regardless OF
their politics. objected 10 a nomination that
would secure IFS rejection. In fact senatorial
courtesy includes only the Senator's of that
party In accord With the administration.
Should the Senate vote to adopt and confirm
Mr.. Conkliag'S theory it would not apply to
democratic Senators. senatorial courtesy is
partisan affair, notwithstanding Its name.
