The Mississippi jetties contisue to form . deep chanpel at the mouth of the river. Capt.
 Eads says with reference to them: ,. |. ~
 ''The jetty channel hes been maintaiued for the last fifteen months according to the re- quireneuts of the law without any intermis- sion whatever. It is an ample one, and no vessel has grounded iu it, nor has one been de- layed an hour for want of abundant depth in 1t during this period, even at low tide. This much cannot be said of New York harbor, as none of the largest class of steamers, when loaded, can leave or enter it during low tide The ictty channel is measured every week or two by United States engineer officers, and the last survey, made only . few days ago, shows that tho stipulated depth exists In 1t. ..e. '-i The grounding of the German steamer Braun. schweig. although two miles above the jetties and drawing but twenty -oue feet, was recent. y made tue pretext for declaring that the bar vas reforming at the ends of them. Although she jctties have not been completed two years. the shipment of grain from New Orleans last gear was twenty eight. fold greater than when they were commenced. This year 1t will be forty fold the shipments being only limited by the tonnage on the river" ~ Y77n'i"2 's--

 There seems to be much doubt whether the Senate funding bill will pass the House. Mir. Carlisle, who was the author of tie fourth and fifth sections of the house bills and who con- tributed largely to the passage of the measure, says the House will not agree to the senate amendments. lie believes the House will con- sent that the time for bonds to run be extend- ed to twenty years, but he thinks it will not agree to raise the rate of interest to 3S per cent. In his opinion the House will refuse to concur. in the abolition of the fifth section, which compels national banks to accept the bonds as security for circulation and deposits. All the greenbackers and number of demo- crats will oppose the removal of this section. Messrs, Carlisle. Tucker and Frye will prob ably be house conferees on the nleasrre, and Speaker Randall is strongly in favor of the 3 per cent. feature of the bin.
 Whatever other fault may be found with shareholders, nobody can question their cour- age The Boers of South Africa are no ex. ception to the rule. The Springfield Repub lican says of them: "These are no pioneer ruffians, but pious Dutchmen with big estates of land, and that combined faith in hell and liberty which John Calvin never failed to in- culcate." Nevertheless they will hardly be able to cope with Great Britain-a country that is often beaten ln single battles, seldom in long war; @

Probable Results of Woman Suffrage

Probable Results of Woman Suffrage. In Minnesota the women are demanding the right to vote on the liquor tratfic, and among i their hackers have Bishop Foster of the. Meth
 odist Episcopal. and Bishop WhipplelOf the
 Protestant Episcopal church. .-Neao Hacea Palladium.
 Few whohave carefully considered the sub-
 ject doubt that Prohibition waits for woman suffrage before it can become successful, ex-. cept in very limited areas under the forM of
 local option. Women are beginning To be aware of this, and intelligent temperance men as well. Few women are aware, however, how generally their votes are needed to counter balance saloon" influence in cities and the large towns In New York city, we have
 been assured, the unit of political power is the saloon and the political power the pro: prietors of these establishments wield is simp- ly overwhelming Even in the county, where ever there is dram shop, there is almost a-a ways clique oI freqnenters whose votes it can control: and so decisive often is it's influ- ence, that it can defy tue law simply by par alyzing it's execution The need of the woman vote on Temperance is conceded because it's influence would be direct i; it's need for other moral purposes is not generally foreseen, be- cause it would be indirect ..-...
 As we nave often before maintained, we believe that the woman vote is the natural an- tidote of that wonderfully potent political fac tor, the ''run." vote; but it would also tend to relieve politics of the disgusting coarseness which now affiicts it i; to discourage immoral political methods of all kinds and to remove the barbarous scurrilities of the political can- vass and the political press.
 On the other hand woman suffrage is not likely to bring about any political millennium. With largely restored moral and religious in. fiueuces, there would be restored something of the bgotry and cant which mingle more or less with all practical morality aud religion There might be revival of Sunday law en- forcement beyond reason. There might be thrusting out of secular and a tbrusting in of religious education. The prevailing politician would probably leave rowdyism and take to hypocrisy, thus becoming even more otfen- sive while more decent than before. We might have Moody in the White House, and Sankey leading the Senate in Ninety and Nine." But all this we are will to risk for the increase of decency and morality woman would certainly 5ring to the suffrage If peo- pie who are much more pious than We do not second our mo ton in this behalf, we hope to be forgiven if we hint that theirs is a wonder fully short sighted pety. t.t s,

The New York Evening Post calls loudly fer the rejection of Stanley Mathews as Judge of the U. S. Supreme Court. His. insound financial record, thinks that paper, ought to en- sure the defeat of his nomination. Boss Conk- lin is likely to do more than all his financial heresies to bring about such . result.
 We have read Judge Tourgee's plea for the carpet-bagger with much interest. He claims that they were too few to have attained such extraordinary political power except through the default of the native whites. Very like ly; but can there be any reasonable doubt that. having attained power through the stub- born conservatism of the latter, they misused 1t most atrociously o " ,t'''. ,' .'''
