Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

The New York Times says: The
picture correspondent of the Times
draws of the special and political con-
ditions in the territory Of Wyoming
is dark and gloomy. It is estimated
that fve-sixths of the population of the
territory live IN the string towns lying
along the line of the Union Pacific.
The people generally are intelligent and
progressive. The leading citizens of
Cheyenne and the other principal
places are rich, travelled, dressy, Cos
sipy, viltuous and well housed. The
other side of the picture can be told in
few words: Cheyenne has thirty in
famous houses, forty licensed whisky
shops, nine gambling rooms where
gaming is openly advertised and carried
on, county Jail with an iron cage un-
fit for the confinement of human erea-
lures, no poor house, and a political
system which may be described as IN
decent and corrupt Primary elections
are falcial, and regular elections, held
under the original law Of the territory,
are burlesqne. These facts are col
lected by a correspondent Of the Times,
with q view to ascertalning what lntlu.
ence upon the American political sys-
TEN is exerted by women who have q
right to vote. Woman suffrage has
existed in Wyoming since 1859. As q
matter of fact women are now never
seen in jury box, nor do they ask fol
or obtain office. Their share In popu-
flar suffrage is contained in occasiona
voting and administering laws, making
nominations, formulating political
platforms, or taking the stump in al
election canvass BY the enfranchise
ment Of women, writes this stern po-
litical moralist, corruption, trickery
fraud and vice, as political forces al
ready existing, have been reinforced b,
weakness, ind ifference, ignorance, cow
ardice and iInpecility.

A DUBLIN dispatch says: Before he
was sentenced Poole spoke at length,
in earnest and at times eloquent terms.
He emphatically denied that he mur-
dered Kennedy, but admitted that he
was member of the Fenian brothey-
hood and said he would be proud to go
70 the scaf'old for being member It's
object was not to commit murder, but
to free Ireland from the tyrannical
rule of England He believed he was
prosecuted because he was opposed to
the government under which he had
lived. Poole acknowledged being in
hennedv's company the night he was
murdered, but declares he had no hand
in striking him down. He had be-
longad to the brotherhood since he was
16 years of age, but had never belonged
to the vigilance committee. His pur-
pose was to wait until his countrvmen
were prepared to strike blow for in
dependence, when he would cooperate
with them In conclusion he said: q
am not afraid to die. Farewell all
farewell Ireland! Three cheers for ths
Irish republic! Death to English tyr
amy" Poole will be hanged Decem
Der Is. The judge, in passing sentence
uron the prisoner, was deeply affected
He said the evidence left the jury ne
alternative, and he quite concurred il
the verdict Of guilty. Poole's fathel
wept aloud, exclaiming: ''Oh. Joe
! joe The prisoner replied, faltering
keep up, father keep upl Dom
give way. am ready to die!"
