Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

In the fourteen years that have elapsed
since woman suffrage was established in
Wyoming Territory the beneficial results
expected from it by its advocates have had
full opportunity TO show themselves in ele-
waiting the social and political condition of
the people. That 1t has under trial justified
the expectations its friends in these re-
spects can hardly be asserted. But two
women have ever held Office in the Terri
tory. During the three or four years fol-
lowing the passage Of the enfranchising act
few women acted as jurors, but within re-
cent years they have not entered the jury
box. In shaping issues, nominating candi-
dates, administering the laws and the other
activities which give direction TO the politi-
cal life of community and indirectly al
feet its social condition, their influence, il is
stated, counts for nothing. They merely
VOTE and not unfrequently omit to do that.
They may electioneer among their ac-
quaintances when their male relatives are
candidates, but take no hand in political
agitation having reform for its object Their
feeling in respect to the temperance problem
is found to confine itself to voting against
liquor-dealers. AS rule, they vote at the
direction of the male head Of the family.
The effect of this enjoyment of the franchise
by portion of the population without po-
ltical or economical ideas has been in
Wyoming, as elsewhere in the United States,
an enormous growth of corruption. The
practice of selling votes, it is found, be-
comes more profitable and general when
the head Of the house has at his disposal
the votes Of his wife and daughters as we'll
as his own. Bribery, repeating, personation
OF voters and the other crimes of the ballot
are thus made familiar in the family circle.
The consequence is that public morals in
Wyoming are in deplorabe state. 1.-THE
basest men and women in the community"
according to the New York Times cor
respondent, become prominent as vote
brokers" Women wanting in character
sell their votes without conjunction, and,
according to the authority already cited
"the good ones knife a candidate who
doesn't attend Sunday-school." Cheyenne,
the principal city of Wyoming, is repre-
scented as a den of vice of the most revolving
kind. The conclusion is unfavorable: "By
the enfranchisement of women, corruption
trickery, fraud, vice, as political forces al
ready existing, have been reinforced by
weakness, indifference, ignorance, coward
ice and imbeclity As consequence, pub
lie morals are laid low and practicable plans
for reform lack intelligent support" The
picture is perhaps overdrawn, but it is be-
yond question that the advocates of female
suffrage can draw no comfort from the prac-
tical working Of their theories in Wyom-
ing.-B0tt0. Sun.

Some Of the active prohibitionists in the
Republican party, including Mr.. Price, the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, express the
opinion that the organization of national
temperance party will come in the near
future. The significant fact that the Demo-
cratic candidate for Secretary of State of
New York was defeated at the late election
by the liquor interest solely on the ground
that he was a prohibitonist is taken as an
other reminder, so the temperance advo-
Gates say, that neither political party can be
depended upon to support candidate for
Office obnoxious to saloon keepers and dis
tillery owners An organization advocat-
ing the principles of temperance is, they say,
demanded by the rapid growth of popular
sentiment, and Mr. Price is quoted by the
Egening Critic as saying that it would grow
in popular esteem until 1t would finally
sweep the country.
