Fixing the Status OF " omen.

One branch of the woman suifragiSts
have for several years been claiming
that they were citizens by virtue of the
enactment of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution and several women
have at times attempted to voJe in &C
cordance with that claim.
Governor Butler has now raised the
point and the attorney general of Massa
chusetss has decided that women are not
even ps,sons" in the eye of the law
or that state, and that rs Il result they
cannot legally H>nld certain offices. Ac-
cepting this view he agitating women
may well ask what o. anding they have
in law. 1t is pretty ccl tain they have
not been able to secure the privileges OF
citizens, aud IL they are t.. be denied
the rights of "persons what Will they
do 7
This decision Is not likely TO wcsrl
any large proportion of women. The;
are very we'll content with their positions
both in law and society, aud it is not
probablethey would lose much sleep or
bewail their fate overmuch if they were
to find that they were not entitled to
either 'persOn" OF "citizan" as a dis
tinctive appellation. They will no doubt
go on doing their duty in the world
even IL they must go without names.

A DoubtfuI distinction.

Mr.. Randall is reported In his speeches
as saying that he does not believe in the
constitutionality of layinga tariff for
the sole purpose of protecting home
manufactures, but that he does not doubt
the constitutionality Of arranging tariff
for revenue so as to be incidentally pro
tective. We do not see that there is
very solid ground for making such a
distinction. A tariff solely for revenue
could hardly be protective; since its OBJ
ject would be to let in the largest guam
tity of foreign goods, A tariff solely for
protection, on the other hand, would
rigidly exclude every foreign article OF
home production. A tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection, would let IN
all goods not manufactured at home at
such rate of duty that would encour-
age their importation while upon arti
cles of home manufacture the rate would
be made high enough to largely exclude
the foreign article. 1t can hardly be
unconstitutional to put such an impost
on all foreign products as would exclude
them, while 1t would be constitutional
to levy such duties on a part of them
III it is constitutional 10 protect home
manufactures by partially restrictive
duty 1t would seem to be likewise con-
titutiona to levy u wholly restrictive
impost. But it would not be wise. TIE
Democratic doctrine of a tariff for rev
enue with incidenta, protection assume:
that Congress has power to protect home
industry and that this power is judi
ciously exercised by so adjusting The
revenue tariff as to raise large revenue
from small duty on commodities not
needing protective legislation, either
because they are not produced here ol
because they are obtained as creaply a!
abroad, while a small revenue from
high duties is invited upon the products
needing protection which home industr!
is interested iE making. 1t certainly i
constitutional to legislate to secure the
vital interests of the country else tn,
constitution is sadly lacking in its pro
per aim,

as tamee de LOndres, especially the pecu-
liarly deep violet tint known as eUegue.
Both in Paris aud London the most ex
pensive materials will be worn for bonnets
and mantles. Chenille flowers Stimulating
nature and velvet leaves are much ia favor.
Rich brocaded nantes, embroidered with
shaded silks in rather stiff, mathematical
designs, are all the rage in London, which
has discarded the frivolous fashions so
popular this summer. The French, after
long denouncing ulsters as hideous, have
graciously adopted them aud are doing
their best to improve them by judicous
shapes aud trimmings. One of the most
effective ulsters is of geranium red, trim.

who can afford them. Poorer folk will
cling to cat and rabit skin.

How 10 Aim for the pres,douc,

Mr.. Hoadly, since he has been elected
governor of Ohio, appears before the
footlights as presidential candidate,
after the usual manner Of newly elected
governors. The gubernatorial office
seems TO have become the recognized
stepping stone to the presidency. The
Office is not one calling for exalted
talent to Gil 1t creditably but it serves
to pose its incumbent before the people
on a safe and conspicuous perch. 1t
puts him up on pedestal as a presiden
tial candidate, from which he mutely
appeals TO them for their verdict. 1t is
evidently the separation Of the man from
the common herd that does the bust.
ness and that only. Hoadly's case proves
this, for be did nothing to boost himself
into his place but to get the malaria.

FEATUAES OF THE STATE PRESS,
The Jersey Shore Herald is sure that
there is nothing that can defeat tho Dem
ocrats this year but their own careless

says that the way the Republican press
crows over Iowa il another proof that
small favors are thankfully received" !"
Pennsylvania is now more certainly
Democrats than ever a full vote is all
thatis needed" cheerily says the Cham
bersburg VdlIeg Spirit.
The NorristOwu Herald sighs because
"the proceedings of the Legislature since
the twenty drst OF September have not
been embalmed in the LsgislatiUs Record. /"
The Scranton Republican thinks that
ever since the acquital of Dukes, the jury
system is not very strong in the confidence
or affections Of the people of Fayette.
Tue Reading NstoS advises that "sewers,
cssspools, cisterns, aud old wells should
never be catered until they had been cer-
tainly ascertained that they are not
charged with gases and vapors deadly to
human liie."

which the money OF the sinking fund is
