woMAN's RIGHTS IN CALIFOR-

Mrs. Laura De Force Gordon, now a
practicing attorney at law in San Franz
CISCO, is an eloquent and interchangeable
advocate Of woman's rights. During the
sitting of the late Constitutional Con-
vention in California she appeared before
that body and through her influence
caused to be inserted in the new Cor
stitution the following clause "No
person shall on account Of sex. be dis
qualified from entering upon or pursuing
any lawful business, vocation or profess
sion." In San Francisco they have long
maintained what is known as "the dive
ordinance" This ordinance prohibited
women from being in saloons after a
given hour in the evening, either m the
capacity Of mattresses or for other pur-
poses. The Supreme Court Of California
recently decided the "dive ordinance "
TO be in conflict with Laura's clause OF
the new Constitution. They argue that
if men may visit and find employment
in saloons with lnpunity as to hours, so
also may the women Of the Golden State.
In other words, what is sauce for the
goose shall be sauce fer the gander.

coNKLIxG ON GARFIELD.

Senator Conkling made a great Repub-
lican speech in New York last Fall. 1t
is said by some to have been the greatest
effort OF his life. He advocated the
election Of Garfield. Among other things
he said the Republican candidate Gar
field) was capable of holding his own, not
only in party strife, but in collisions
between individuals" This is precisely
what he said "Some service with him
in Congress has made me well acquainted
with General Garfield. That he has the
intelligence, experience and habits of
mind that fit him for the tPresidential)
office l think l know. Without early
advantages he years ago achieved promi-
nence among the leading men in public
life, and that prominence he has main
tanned ever since in all the collisions be-
tween individuals and parties. That he
is competent to the duties before him
there seems to me no reason to doubt
We wonder if the great Senator holds
the same estimate of Mr.. Garfield now
that he did last Fall. If he does he must
have doubts about getting away with
him in a certain impending collision
between individuals"

ARROR DAY.

The State of Nebraska has at least one
very sensible law. The statute gives a
premium or bonus for forest culture. The
person who plants the greatest number
of trees in one day between sun and sun
gets a prize of $1,000 in cash. This
stimulates the landowners to extraordi-
nary exertions, and they do some very
tall planting. Under the law the Gov
n makes proclamation setting forth
the day for the competition. His Excel
lency has just designated the third
Wednesday in April as "Arbor Day"
The great utility of the laws is shown in
countless forests where broad prairies
existed before. Nevada has a law pretty
much of the same nature, but our people
have never availed themselves of it's pen
efts. The trouble with us is the u%niver-
sal scarcity of water in almost every part
of the State.

A CORNER IN OVERCOATs.

A man bearing the well known name of
Henry Raymond tried to get up a corner
in overcoats and got in a corner himself.
1t happened in New York. He stole Is
overcoats, when, unfortunately, he ran
against the overcoat of a man with a
name as celebrated as his own. He stole
the overcoat of U. s. Grant, Jr., and
q. s. had him arrested, and furthermore
appeared at the Police Court against him.
Raymond is a colored man, but there is
no likelihood that he will hear anything
in this incident about not giving the man
and brother a fair show, as might have
been the case if the incident had hap
pened further south.

The colored voters stood up nobly for
Mr.. Garfield. Mr.. Garfield does not
stand up so well for the colored voters.
He began his campaign with most eff
fusive Aattery of the race, of whom there
are over six millions in the United States.
As soon as he reached the White House
he discovered that Frederick Douglass,
the able and eloquent colored orator,
was too, black to serve as Marshal of the

Office. Wonder how many of the IO4,-

George William Curtis has delivered a
lecture on Civil Service Reform, in which,
says the New York Sun, he denounced
the present Administration and his W

by the lavish use of money at every presi-
Dental election. The party that can use
the Treasury's money as well as its own

New York. April 15.---The billiard match
terminated tonight, with Schaeffer the
winner. The play was rather careless and
uninteresting. At frat Slosson's umpire,
Sexton, was absent. Slosson was applauded
wildly, and for the first time Schaeffer got
considerable attention by some fine shots.
Slosson knew nothing short of a miracle
could save his defeat, and he played badly.
Before be began to play he remarked, with
a sickly smile, that it was his duty to be
pleasant at his own funeral. 1t was a for
lorn hope. Schaeffer made a splendid run
of 81. His best runs for the evening were
81, 20, 40, 80, 81. 213 and So; total, 800.

Shocking Murders.

BILE triple murder has been committed
about seven miles from this city. John
Simmons, a heavy stock raiser, left home on
Sunday. Yesterday his herder, named J.
s. Phillips, went out with the sheep about
noon. Mrs. Simmons was found lying in
the herder's room with her thross cut, and
from appearances had been outrageously
assaulted. The alarm was given, and soon
the bodies OF Mrs. Simmons child and
mother, Mrs. Parker, were found at the
foot Of an embankment a hundred yards
from the house. Mrs. Parker's skull had
been crushed in with a rock. The herder
seems to think that Simmons was the
murderer, but he himself was committed
without bail.

battery on Miss Lilly Grimm. Miss
Grimm's sister was Stanper's first
wife. having been divorced from him
and lives in the same neighborhood.
The two women were trying to ge:
possession Of one Of the children, the
care Of whom had been awarded to
the mother by decree Of the Circuit
Court. Stamper objected on the
ground that the children had been
sent back by the mother to be re.
clothed. and were gong to school. A
dispute arose, and in the melee that
followed, it was charged that STAN.
per threw Miss Grimm down and hurt
her severely. On the other hand it
was claimed that the two women were
more than match tor Stamper, and
threw him in the scuffle. Taking, We
presume, the mitigating circumstances
and provoca:ion into consideration,
the jury fined Ssamper only S. and

case will be appealed.
