Current Comment.

"a sulker, skulker and sneak" is
what the Cincinnati Enquirer calls Pendle-
ton. The work of harmony goes bravely
on.
The Charleston Courier alleges that ST.
600 were spent in South Carolina in the 1880
campaign on faith in Mr.. Tilden's promise
to return it. Mr.. Tilden never did how
ever.
Apropos of recent developments in the
speakership contest the Philadelphia Press
remarks that the Hon. Samuel S. Cox four
irreverent contemporary calls him Samcox)
will "learn one of these days that the little
joker all by itself is not card on which it
is safe to 60 it alone"
If we should build the tariff as high as the
moon we could not carry Pennsylvania.
The party has fooled itself with Pennsylva-
mia long enough. 1t is high time to say to
Pennsylvania: "Good evening, Pennsylya-
mia; goodbye, Pennsylvania; 60 to the devil,
Pennsylvania As for Mr.. Randall, he has
about the same chance of being elected
speaker of the next house as the Democrats
have OF carrying Pennsylvania. In the COM
ing congress the dog will wag the tall
Louisville Courier-Journall.
The Democratic party cannot stand pros
perity. 1t has had series of successes, not
faults committed by the Republicans. When
party seeks to govern the country it must
be competent,t to govern it--that is, it must
agree upon a programme and ON some lead
ing principles. But we have repeatedly seen
that the Democrats are all at sea in their at
titude toward monopolies, the tariff, civil
service reform, the liquor question, and all
other matters which demand settlement:
and that wherever the Democratic party gets
rule it has given no evidence of its capacity
to govern. 1t has shown, on the other hand
that it is, if possible, less fitted than the
Republican party. Up to the present time
success has not made il stronger, but weak
er.-Chicago Freie Presse fDem.).
1t is not to be expected that Republicans
alone shall rise in rebellion against the polit-
ical machine. Democrats cannot applaud
the revolt which elected Cleveland in New
York and Pattison in PENNSYLVANIA, and
then reprobate the refusal of Ohio democrats
to be bound by nominations which they be-
lieve to have been made corruptly. 1t is to
be expected that the sbolt' in Hamilton
county, if the dissidents have ground for
their action, will lead to the election of the
Republican ticket And in the Northern and
Western States wholesome lesson can
be safely taught, and should be taught,
when there is need of it,-even at the price
that was paid, under similar circumstances,
by the anti-machine Republicans in New
York and Pennsylvania. The machine is
useful as servant, but is uncomfortable as a
master.-Charleston S. G. News and Cour
Ter (Dem.)

SHon. John A, Kasson has no doubt that
the Republicans will carry Iowa by at least
10000 majority The position of the Re-
publicans on the prohibitory amendment
has, he says, been misunderstood. The pee
pie of the State, laying aside all TECHNICAL
ties, voted by large majority in favor of a
prohibitory amendment. To adopt the
amendment again, which is made necessary
by the decision of the Supreme Court, it
must be passed by two Legislatures and then
voted upon by the people. As majority
have once declared in favor of it, the Re-
publicans assert that the Legislatures are in
duty bound to pass the amendment and ger
nit the people to vote on 1t again. The
Democrats, however, are not willing to rec
ognize the decision at the polls, but declare
in favor of license law, which is not SO far
in the direction of free whisky as Democrats
elsewhere go, but as far as the Iowa Demo-
Gratis dare go.

The New York Times publishes remark
able story which, if true, explains the Jen-
ME Cramer murder. 1t is in substance that
Mr.. Royal NJ. Bassett, who is described as a
wealthy manufacturer of Birmingham,
Conn.,, recently, while travelling in Europe,
fell in with the mysterious parsonage who
figured in the trial of the Malleys, and was
known as the man with the black NOUS
tache, and that, in moment of confidence,
this mysterious parsonage confessed that
Jennie Cramer was drugged by the Malley
boys; that, contrary to their intentions,
the drug proved fatal, and that he assisted
in disposing of the body. 1t is SO unusual for
men who have been privy to murders to
pfnSke confessions of their guilt to men they
fall in with on railroad trains that an ex-
PLANTATION of this departure from the usual
rule of silence In such cases will have to be
furnished before the story is credited.

An Appeal by the Women Suffra-
gists Sent to the State Commit
tees of Both Parties.


OFFICE OF THE WoMAN's JOURNAL, /
No. 5, PARK ST., BOSTON, Sept. s, 1885,
Gentlemen The political helplessness of
women compels us to appeal to you who
have power to be mindful of the women of
Observation-Disclosures the candidate for
governor is nominated. We ask that no one
may be nominated for that Office who is OPP
posed to woman suffrage, and who would
hence veto any bill that provided for our en-
franchisement. We send to you now in the
hope that it will save US the necessity of op-
posing a candidate who will oppose the
equal rights of women. We have political
preferences, and would far rather use the
influences we have in the interest of the
party to which we should belong, if we were
not deprived of our political rights, provided
always that its candidate is friend of
woman suffrage, and a person who COM
mands our respect. We hold that the en-
reimbursement of woman ought to be the
main question in politics. 1t would be con-
sidered the first question If we were men,
and not women, who are disfranchised, and
if men had no stake OF interest in the
government, as women now have not. We
hold that to tax and govern law-abiding
women without their consent is the grayest
injnstice. In our judgment, therefore, it is
the duty of political leaders to put forward
in their platforms the enfranchisement of
women as question of the first importance,
both as 1t affects the honor of men, the
rights of women and the welfare of the
State. We feel that good government, in
the interest of high morality and the general
welfare of humanity, is of the first impor
lance, and that the participation of women
in all political power is of essential necessity
to this end. We appeal to you, therefore,
first, for the sake of the public welfare;
second, to save women from the stigma
which attaches to disfranehised class; and
third, to save Massachusetts from the his
toric discredit of holding its loyal women to
the political rank of Jefferson Davis.

VETERAN SOLDIER.

Mr.. G. F. BowLEs, of No. "a Common Street,
Lynn, Mass, says:-
"While in the army, at the battle of Spottsylva-
mia, fell while getting over rail-fence and was
badly injured and left for dead, but after time
was picked up by comrades; and npon examination
1t was found that my back was badly hurt and my
kidneys seriously injured, and have suffered the
most excruciating pain since, and could obtsin no
relief although treated by several physicians, and
had given up all hope of getting help when l was
recommended to use Hunts Remedy. purchased
several bottles at one of our drug stores in Lynn
and began to use it directed, and can now attend
to business and am free from the pins formerly
had; and wish to say to my friends and comrades
that Hunts Remedy will do all that is claimed for
it, and worthy of all praise. You use my testi-
mony when you have occasion to, as most heartily
recommend 1t to all that have kidney or liver
troubles"

this stock of diverse provisions a sick bird
from a cage where there is little variety of
food will often recover It's health after
short sojourn in an aviary. True, the greater
liberty and opportunities for exercise may
have something to do with 1t. have even
taken pity on ailing cage-birds in dealers
shop, and bought them cheap as specula-
ton; and, on submitting them to course
of aviary regime, have had the pleasure of
seeing them regain strength and spirits.
Failures, however, must be confessed to, If
the PATIENTS weakness is too far advanced
or their lungs attacked. And their llttle
lives often hang on so slender thread
In addition, therefore, to the seeds usually

cooked carrots, potatoes, green's, and other
crumbs from the rich mans table, besides
scraps, vegetable and animal, not good
enough for the servants buckwheat, ground
sci, chickweed, plantain; fresh green grass
turf, frequently renewed, of which the birds
will not only bite and suck the blades, but
will search in the earth thereto adherent for
worms, grubs, unsupported seeds, and diges-
tive grains of gravel and stone. When the
heart of broccoli, cabbage, or lettuce is
cut out in the garden it will be seen what
delight is afforded by throwing down to them
the rooted stump with the outer leaves at
tached, and leaving 1t for their amusement
"a hours.
Several baths, too, there should be in diff
erent parts of the aviary, to prevent quarrels
for the privilege of bathing; besides which
quarrels the first conner, in his strength snd
his joy, often splashes out nearly all the
water in the bath, leaving only low tide for
the second visitor. A good thing is to plant
in the aviary few ordinary deciduous
shrubs, such as white-thorns, dog-roses,
sloe-bushas, but not with an expectation of
their growing or even living. The bullfinch
has a bad name for disbudding fruit trees !;
but he is comparatively innocent. Your
shrubs will not have been planted an hour
before you will see your goldfinches COM
mi.ting still worse havoc by stripping the
bark from every tender twig. 1t is bad for
the shrubs, but good for them, and at any
rate it is an agreeable pastime which is not
difficult to provide.

Ann Woods is dead at the age of 103 years.
We record the fact chiefly for the benefit of
anti-tobacso associations, for Ann Woods
was an inveterate smoker, having COM
menced to pull at pipe before the present
century began and having persisted in the
pernicious habit to the day of her death.
How many years longer she would have
lived had she not early fallen victim to the
destinations of the weed we leave 1t for the
anti-tobacco societies to determine from any
data they may have in their archives, mere
" observing that as Ann was an inmate of
the workhouse her case may be found more
useful In proving that smoking leads to pov-
erty than in demonstrating that it is incom-
patible with longevity.

The Colby Bill Vetoed.

Governor Hale has vetoed the bill known
as the Colby Railroad Bill which provided,
among other things, for the establishment of
railroad commission. His objections are
confined to the provision in the first section
OF the bill which requires that one of the
three commissioners to be chosen shall be "a
man learned in the law" and another shall
be "a civil engineer learned and skilled in his
profession" The Governor regards this as
an unwise limitation upon the discretion of
the appointing or electing power-in this
case the legislature-and limitation that is
In violation of the constitution. He further
objects to having the commissioners
chosen by the legislature, and thinks they
ought to be elected by the people or appoint
ed by the Governor.
Whatever anybody may think of the Colby
bill as whole, we venture to say few ex-
pected it to be vetoed on these grounds.
With regard to the requirement that one
commissioner shall be a lawyer and one u
civil engineer it is one of the best things
In the measure and ought to stand if any
part of it does. The Governors scruples
on the point are absurd. Similar pro-
visions are in the laws establishing such
commissions in other States, and in all the
bills introduced in Congress for establishing
a national railroad commission, and Con-
gress has often passed bills containing re-
strictions of this kind. The civil service
reform bill passed at the last session pro-
vided that the three commissioners should
not belong to the same party. The Govern
or's talk about the possibility of there being
no lawyer or civil engineer in the State
qualified for the place is discreditable to
him and to the State. His notion that the
clause in the bill of rights which says,
Every inhabitant of the State having prop
er qualifications has an equal right to elect
and be elected into office is violated by
declaration that knowledge of law or
Of engineering shall be one of the
proper qualifications for certain Office, is
ridiculous. The provision in the bill is wise
and sound if it is desirable, aud it ought to
be, to prevent such commission from be-
coming hospital for sick politicians.
He has no objection to the other provis-
ions of the BILL On the contrary he says
they meet his approval. Governor Hale has
distinguished himself by this performance,
but not creditably.
