A writer in the Washington Post, dis

transformation in one of these worthless,

known member of congress from Ohio.
The story Is about Gabe Bouck, the

terms. He only distinguished himself
in congress by voting "No" so load that
he could be heard in Alexandra when
q proposition was up looking to woman

only one ambition, and that is to be

According To- . correspondent of the
aBstooEAdyertiser the Vermont expert
mont Of conferring the right of suffrage
in school affairs ON women has not been
attended With success. The number of
women voting has steadily declined since
the passage Of the law three years ago;
and this In spite Of the fact that meet
iDgs have been held, and repeated at
tempts made by Boston women suffra-
gists TO stir thsw6men up:in this matter.
Thus in Burlington at the first election
after the passa .e of the law sixteen out
oftwn hundred voted. At the second
4lesd6nithe number dropped to five,
md this year only eight votes were
thrown, though the number entitled to
vote had greatly increased. And what
istrue Of Burlington is true of the rest
Of the state. s-it really true, as alleged
by the opponents OF woman's rights, that
women do not care for the right of sut-
ftaees ItNoulds seem to be the fact
from thb Indifference to its exercise.

Avery painful and suggsstiveincident
occurred the other day In the course Of
. school election in IAnnngburg in
this state, says the New York Times.
The votes Of several women were chal-
lenged on the ground that they were
non.residents who had been brought
from Troy for the express purpose Of
casting fraudulent votes. This is painful
since 1t shows that, instead of exerting
the purifying influence which we have
been told women would exercise at the
polls, women have been quick to learn
that worst Of political frauds, the coloni.
;zation Of fraudulent voters. It is more-
.over, very suggestive, since it calls at
'tention to amethod of fraud which
women could practice with eminent
ssuccsss were they to be given the right
.of voting at all elections.
