Lewes glanced at the intruder and said: do you

and deal with facts. Hyperbole may be per
missible in a circus poster, but it is not in
the formulation of a reform" The bondage
about which woman suffraglsts complain is

late. The men deny women the exercise
of certain inalienable rights, and this denial
constitutest the slavery of which they rightful-
ly complain. 1t is an assumption on the part
of men, of a right to control women, which
had its origin in ignorance and heathenish
superstition, and has been perpetuated by q
resort to methods which when applied to
other affairs of Government, are univer-
sally abhorred by liberty-loving people.
These m~asculines assume that women are so
much inferior to men, that to give them
the ballot is to destroy the liberties of all,
and their acts in this regard outweighs
all of their professions of love, loyalty and
respect for women. Women, some of them
at least, are tired of sentimentalism; they
demand their rights, they struggle for civil
and political equality, and as long as these
rights are denied, they feel themselves at
liberty to select such words from the vocab-
ulary as most properly characterize the
outrage. What the women suf-
fragists demand is simple Justice, and this
they are likely to obtain-men begin to
comprehend the fact that the women are
right and that the men are wrong, and they

TEE Republican party just now reminds
one OF the Millerite story, in which John
and his wife Betty were getting ready for
the Judgment Day, then near at hand. The
first thing on the programme was mutual
confessions and forgiveness. To ascend the
golden stairs with the least degree of bitter
ness lingering in their hearts would prove
fatal. John and Betty had three beautiful
children. John loved them all. He Law
ished his affections upon them
IN numberless ways. He was proud
OF them. His words were always
those of tenderness, and if Judgment Day
had been postponed he anticipated glorious
returns for all the owe and devotion he had
bestowed. John, being the head of the
family, insisted that in contessing, Betty
should begin. Betty hesitated, blushed,
hung down her head, shed tears and STAN
nered. John urged her to proceed-there

THEEs are persons who assume, because
the woman suffrage movement has not
gained a triumph, that it has made little, if
any, Roadway. A contemporary remarks
that while it is not disposed to consign the
movement to the category of barren no
tions, "It has, nevertheless, shown this
characteristic of the hobby, that while it
has travelled fast and furious at times, it is
still at the latest recorded stage of the jour
ney but little farther from the point OF de-
parture than when it started" The woman
suffragists do not take that view OF the sub
ject. On the contrary, they have made
about as much Roadway as they anticipted,
and in some localities their advance has been
so marked as to invest their cause with a
dignity which presages success in the near
future. The women are not in error when
they refer to the prolonged slavery of wo-
man rs the darkest page in human history"
It Is nothing less, and, what is more, anthem
tic history proves it. 1t is contended by
those who oppose woman suffrage, that wo-
men nave not been subjects to

ment, and it is not reasonable to declare that
this proposed reform leads in importance all
other reforms. The most that woman suf-
f~fragists can show to the satisfaction of prac-
teal minds is, that the condition of the
sex would be improved by the
privileges that they ask, and if they can

GOING TO PIECES.

The old Republican junk since it has been
in command of Captain Garfield has had an
exceptionally rough voyage. Head winds,
occasionally rising to cyclones, have created
big waves. Several distinguished Repub-
lican under officials have been washed over
board; some have been thrown overheard,
while Others, knowing the rotten condition
of the old junk, have abandoned it, and are
trying to swim ashore. The days and nights
have been cloudy, 50 that Captain Garfield
and his First Mate (Blaine) have been unable
to take observations, and are now unable to
tell the latitude and longitude. Chronome-
ter and compass are out of order. The steer
ing gear is defective, and CONSERVATION
reigns on deck from bowsprit to
%tafrail. To make things still worse,
Garfield is seasIck. Blaine is
in command, and as work is
inevitable, symptoms of mutiny have been
discovered and the forecastle is ripe for
treason. James, in rummaging round for
leaks, has struck bilge water in vast quanti-
ties. and the s~ickening effiuvium makes the
Republican junk a great National stink.
Windom has also struck nastiness in the
junk's money chest, and it is now believed
the best thing that can be done is to scuttle
the junk, and Conkling is engaged in that
business. General Butler is likely to come
prominently to the front, and il Blaine is
not reported disabled, Republicans, Stall
warts and half-breeds will be dis
appointed. The people look on as
the old Republican junk settles
into her native slime and mud
with wonderful complacency. Whether
she goes down bow first, stern first or side
wise, is not material; she carries down moth
ing but a cargo of piratical plunder:ng-
frauds, villains, perjuries, Star Route and
Treasury thieves-and all patriots say, "Let
her sink to soundless depths of infamy.'
The days of Republican tribulation have
come sure enough. Deep-seated, deep
rooted, ~long-nursed villainy is coming to the

THE terrible disaster which befeIl the
steamer Victoria should teach people a les
son never to be forgotten. 1t might
be we'll to hang the men who per-
mitted the steamer to be overcrowded,
provided it would teach the living eau
ton; but the living are slow to take warn
ing, and disasters of to-day are no guarantee
that they will not occur again tomorrow.
The people are about as much to blame as
the managers of excursion c~onveyances.
The more people purchase tickets the
cheaper they can be had The cost is every
thing. The cheaper the tickets the
larger the crowd, and with the increase
crease of perils. There seems to be no re n
edy. The people are inconsiderate, and
those who control excursion enterprises,
since they make money by the follies of
others, are not disposed to place obstacles in
the way of their gains. The law is of no
avail. The people are ready to take the
risks. This disposition to crowd, to rush
headlong to destruction, to disregard warn
ings, is characteristic of the times-an
American disease, deep-seated and wide
spread. 1t is called enterprise, persever-
ance, ETC.. when. in fact, it is an exhibit
ton of restlessness, which. overlapping all
prudent bounds, is fruitful of disasters.
In building railroads, contractors are
in too great a hurry to build strong; they
rush through their work. In building
steamboats, and ships, the same criminal
negligence is observed. In running trains,
twenty-five, thirty and forty miles an hour
is not satisfactory; the spirit of the times
demands greater speed. 1t is obtained with
its penalties. Take a line of street rail
way, where the cars run every five minutes,
as an illustration. The people are unwilling
to wait, and a car constructed to seat a dozen
persons will be seen with from twenty to
thirty persons on board, and if human ma
ture could endure it, the proprietors and
drivers would not hesitate to double the
number. 1t is an exhibition of the combin-
alton of folly and greed, and it is likely to
continue for some years to come.
