One of our exchanges in comment
inc on fen ale voting in Utah says
the "apathy Of female voters IN those
regions where they are invested with
the suffrage contrasts strangely with
the fervid enthusiasm of those advo
Gates of the reform who are endeav-
oring TO secure its adoption in other
quarters. In Utah women are al
lowed to vote; it is q Mormon device
to increase their voting strength and
| prevent a threatened Gentle seen
dancy. But the Utah women are
averse to voting. The Mormon la
dies, in the recent election, turned
out at the polls pretty well, and
made a show Of strength, but it was
only because their religion was men
aced by the proceedings under the
Edmunds law. The Gentle ladies
took little interest in the election.
Few of them went to the polls. We
hicles were sent to their residence tc
convey them to the voting places
and back TO their homes; bnt, not
withstanding this, few of them ven
tured out. 4 New York Tribune
correspondent says: 'The GeEtilt
ladies not only take little interes'
in voting hut really detest it; while
the Mormon ladies vote only becsus'
they think it a church duty. Wer'
political principles at stake instea'
of a religious creed woman suffrag
would soon prove q failure. 1t is
curious illustration of the weake
sex's way of looking st things tina
50 many female ballots should b
cast for ~polygamy and so few cas-
against it, even by those who are OF
posed to it."

They are %agitating the question
of q Senator out in Colorado to fill
the unexpired term Of Senator Tel
Ter. This job will be done by the
Legislature soon to meet. There are
two conspicuous candidates in the
field, Governor Tabor and General
w. A. Hamill. Governor Tabor is
worth 5000, 900, and the General
is worth $4,000 600. The first con-
tributed $4,000 to the radical cam
paign fund last election, and the
General spent about $4,000. Ac-
cording to Republican mathematics
we should regard Tabor as the most
competent mar for the place.

The new Governor of South Caro-
lima talks like a Union patriot. In
the course Of his inaugural remarks
he advocated ~"strict economy in the
conduct of government; reduction
of taxation of every kind to the low
est point consistent with the efficient
administration of government; q ju.
dicious tariff; wise, equal, and just
laws impartially administered; the
prevention of oppressive monopolies
home rule which, under the Consti
tuition of the United States, shall pre-
serve the State Governments in theil
proper spheres while it maintains the
General Government in its proper
sphere; popular education as the only
safeguard of free Institutions; thu
sacred preservation of the public
credit, Federal and State; Civil Ser
vice reform which shall regard pub
lie offices as public trusts to be ex
ercised for the benefit Of the people
and not for party purposes, AM
which shall make merit the test 70
appointment to and retention in OF
fce-these are some, at least, of tn
demands which the people make G
their chosen public servants. LIE
us see to it that South Carolina con
tributes Ter share to the pure ad
ministraticn Of public affairs b.
keeping her State Government tru
to the principles which formed tn
political creed of the founders of tn
Republic"

The Controller of the Currency
recommends that all the outstanding
bonds of the United States be re-
duced to 3 per cent. interest, the
government paying the holder a pre-
MUM of Is per cent. for making the
exchange. This would give the hold
ers a handsome present premium
and save the government a large
amount of future interest.

Little by little some curious facts

A few days since some strange e

now there comes q statement from

not being benefited, and only private

are being advantaged by government
outlay. An Investigating committed

Gambling in grain or meat, or any
indispensable article of food, is so
detrimental to the public good and
such an invasion ofthe natural rights
of man, that organized society has
as valid a right to protect itself
against food gamblers, as against
criminals. The man who steals a
sack of -four goes to prison. The
man who lessons the already scant
supply of bread on a million tables,
in the hope of increasing his cnor-
nous wealth, is spoken of as 'our
distinguished fellow citizen" All
the thieves in fifty prisons. if turned
loose, would cause less suffering than
is produced by a single corner in
wheat or corn or pork.
We endorse every word Of the
above taken from the Washington
Post, the ablest and most influential
democratic paper published at the
National Capitol. The crime thus
characterized has done more to de
moralize society and bring distress
upon the honest and industrious
masses than all the burglaries and
other felonies on the criminal calen
der combined. Buying and selling
grain is an honorable and Legitimate
business but dealing in margins il
quite a different matter, and is only
an indirect way ofaddiDg to the cos

eaten by the poor mans family. Th'

With q large majority in the House
and a bare majority against them in
the Senate, the game to be played in
1SS4is all in the hands of the Demo
Gratis, aad their success OF failure
depends very much on the way they
play their cards. Hotheaded en-
thusiasm is well enough during a
canvass, in fact it is an essential to
success, but it is not wanted in coun-
sci or in legislation. The country
has had enough of fractional quarrels,
and now wants a little craftsmanship
in Congress. There is a great deal
of splendid material among the new
men on the winning side, ard there
is enough of the leaven to enliven
and fructify the whole lump. The
path of duty is the path to victory.

The Philadelphia Times says that
when such Senators as Anthony,
Hawley, Edmunds, Mitchell and 9TH
ers who are credited with decent
self-respect, surrendered the control
of the Senate TO a ch~aracterless Con-
federate political a6venturer, with
nothing but the naked rascal;ty of
Reputation to recommend him, they
degraded the United States Senate
to ven q lower depth than the car
pet bag era inflicted upon it. There
was, it thinks, some little excuse for
the tolerance of the carpet baggers
in the Senate, because of the violent
revolutionary times in which recon
struction was accomplished; but
there can be no shadow of excuse
offered for degrading the Senate to
the practical control of the reckless
Virginia Repudiator. One reason
for the recent cyclone was that the
people wanted TO rebuke the amaz
ing impudence Of the party which
could play such a card while pre-.
tending to embody all that is con
sentative and safe in business and
finance.

was at benefit performance one
evening last week, and sat in one of the
stage boxes with three other men. One
of the number is little too fond of the
flowing bowl His friends know it, and
never miss an opportunity to inculcate
moral lessons into him.
On this evening it so happened that
an immense black cat appeared at the
wing, where it was visible to us in the
box, but not to the audience. In the
shadow of the scenery, with its great
green eyes swapping from out the dark,
it was indeed gruesome object.
'Lookr' muttered Bibulus, 'look at
that catr'
We all exchanged look of of intelli-
gence.
'Cat?" said one, "what cat? whefe?"
"Why there" replied Bibulus, "right
at the wing
II see no cat." said another. ...
''Nor l." added the first
Bibulus glanced around uneasily up
on us. t here was an expression of COM
passionate interest on every mans face.
.'Zulano," he muttercd, hoarsely,
clutching my arm, ''do you mean to tell
me you do not see cat there-a black
cat?''
''Come, come. Bibulus,'' I replied,
eff this is a jest it is sorry one. There
is no cat there, and you know it."
Bibulus turned pale, rose, and quilted
the box. We were all congratulating
ourselves on having scared him into
temperance for while, when it occur
red to me that l would follow him,to see
where he had gone
tracked him to the bar. When en-
tered he was just taking glass of
brandy to settle his nerves. 81

The women of the lower and middle
classes of Wales are noted for their in
dependence, and the tenacity with which
they hold to their own ways. MIR. Writ
Sykes, in his book on ''Old South
Wales" gives an illustration of the per-
tinacity with which a married woman
strove to retain the reputation of being
'tthe better man of the house"
A middle-aged and thrifty couple
were of one mind as to their frugality
and industry, but constantly at logger
heads as to who should be master. One
evening when the domestic storm had
become too severe for the husband to
endure, he shut himself up in the stable
in order to escape his wife's tongue.
His intention was to remain there
alone, until two o'clock in the morning,
when it would be time for him to start
with his horse and cart for the market
town. His wife, anticipating his pur-
pose, hid herself under the straw in the
cart.
When the man was well out on the
road, his wife popped up from the straw
and began her ''Caudle lecture" at the
exact point where it had been broken
off by his retreat to the stable. For q
moment he was dazed by the unwelcome
apparition. But recovering himself, he
executed a flank movement which
emancipated him from her strategy.
Pulling out the pin, he tipped the cart,
and the voluble woman was shot into
the road with her unfinished lecture. -
Whipping up his horse, the triumphant
but ungallant husband went rattling
down the road, leaving his persistent
wife to get home as, best she could.
