THEY had wOmap's rights meeting in Wash
ington the other day, report of which is calcu-
lated to paralyze the timid male citizen who has
fears that the gentle sex ls getting out OF Its
sphere. 1t was not suffrage convention, but a
private dinner given by Mrs. Belva Lockwood
TO celebrate the tenth anniversary of her adj
mission to the bar. No hOrrid men were pres
ent, but there were thirty women, and the fol-
lowing are some of the toasts which were Of
fered and responded to: "The lady lawyers of
the country" "Women as DOCTORS" "Women as
artists" women of the press and newspaper
correspondents" 1.-THE progressive women of the
country, and what they doing for the ma
tlon," "The temperance women and their work,
''rhe working women" women as teachers, "
"Women suffrsgists of the country and their
work" 1t will occur to the male citizen, above
referred to, that the fence around the sphere
was not high enough and that IL is, alas, too
late to corral the women again, now that they
have tasted the pastures outside.

HON. WILLIAM s. HOLMAN.

A Cincinnati paper has recently published
biographical sketch of Judge Holman, ac-
companied with a wood cut of the great
papers, they having been sent to most of the
leading Democrats, as well as to many COM
mercial firms. The purpose of this is ap-
parent The New York Sun has been boom
ing Judge Holman for President and that
gentleman is thoroughly convinced that he
is great man, and that the country is in
pressing need of his services in an executive
capacity If the doors of the White House
do not open to him, he wants to enter the
gubernatorial mansion. He thinks all that is
necessary to insure his nomination is for his
party friends to see a counterfeit present
| meut" of his good-looking phiz hence he
scat tiers them broadcast as farmer does his
seed. But Judge Holman will find himself
mistaken, The picture and the fattering
biography will avail him little or nothing.
He has never been seriously thought OF in con-
nection with the presidency and Ex-Governor
Gray is far in advance OF him in the race for
the gubernatorlal nomination. By his double
dealing and want of candor in his contest
with Mr. Landers for the nomination in 1876,
ne incurred the displeasure of that gentle
man and his friends. On the contrary, they
feel very kindly toward Ex-Governor Gray.
When beaten by Mr.. Landers in 1880, he took
the second place on the ticket, and made the
best canvass he was capable of. Judge Hol-
man opposed the nomination of both Landers
and Gray. The night before the convention
was held he made speech to the delegates
from his congressional district in which he
said that neither Landers nor Gray ought to
be nominated He sprang Judge Downey
upon the delegates but many of them who
were Judge Downey's friends refused to sup
port him because they knew he had no
earthly chance for the nomination. This
| movement of Judge Holman caused the
friends of Messrs Landers and Gray to enter
into a compact whereby it was agreed that
should Judge Downey, or any other new
man, develop such strength in the conven-
able the supporters of the weaker OF
the two were to go over in a
body to the stronger. No necessity
arose for the Carrying out of this agreement,
as Judge Downey's vote was a meager one,
| but had there been it would have been car
ried out to the letter.
Mr.. Landers is out of active politics. but,
nevertheless he is no inconsiderable factor
in the making and unmaking of candidates.
He has influential friends, not only in this
city, but throughout the State, and should
Judge Holman be a candidate before the
| Democratic State convention next year, as is
| now, no doubt his intention to be, he will
be fiercely antagonized by these gentlemen.
While they are uncommitted for Governor,
they are for Gray as against Holman, and the
latter gentleman will be sure to feel the
| weight of their opposition.

THE taxpayers of Indianapolis, like those
of any other city, are deeply interested in
the question of the economical administra-
ton of their local affairs. This is the mat
ter that affects the pocket Money saved in
taxes means more home comforts, better
food, better clothing, and better education
for themselves and their families, and the
families and children of their neighbors
Every published statement of the conduct of
the affairs of the city OF Indianapolis has
demonstrated that when the Republicans
have had control taxes have been less and
the outlay OF money for the support of the
government less than in 1.-THE years
when the Democrats nave had the
management of affairs. What has
happened in the past is likely to
recur in the future. If we are to have low
taxes and prudent economy in the city gov
eminent, the lessons of the past should be
well conned and thought over. 1t matters
little to the general public what particula
individuals may hold the local offices; but it
Is ~ Ihe very greatest INTEREST 10 the YAK
payer to know that the money he pays out
in the shape of taxes shall be prudently ex-
pended for the legitimate purposes for which
they are levied, and not go into the pockets
of bummers and dead-beats. The record of
the past ten years shows the comparison
between Republican and Democratic control.
If the facts do not demonstrate the Way to
vote, nothing else will

STORY of wonderful endurance and suffer
ing comes from Independence, Mo. In 1887,
Henry Rodawald, cooper, immigrated from
Germany. Two years later he returned to the
fatherland and married Louisa Rummel. The
newly married couple Immediately came to
America and settled in Independence. In 1910,
Mrs. Rodawald gave birth to a daughter, since
which time she has been unable to leave her
bed. Two other children have been born to her
since She is able to sit up but little, but is
always cheerful and in good humor. She super
intends the household, giving all orders to serv-
ants, does all the sewing for the family, even
making her husband's clothing. During the long
time that she has been an invalid, Mrs. Rode
valid has employed but three servants, the first
one staying with her as domestic twenty-five
years. Mrs. Rodawald is now sixty-ntne years
old and her husband seventy-one.

THE editor of the Indiana Tribune, Mr.
Phil. Rappaport, addressed letter to the
candidates for mayor, asking them their po-
sition with respect to the proposed new street
railway. The answers of Messrs. McMaster
and Schmuck are given elsewhere, and we
commend them to the consideration of the
public. Mr.. McMaster answers fairly and
squarely that he favors the granting of a
charter to the new company, and that he
will use his influence to that end, and so
vote if he has the opportunity. Mr.. Schmuck
dallies with the question, evading a spe
cifc reply, and obscuring it so
that no one can tell what he either says or
thinks. The way in which he talks is evil
dence either that he is against the introduce
ton of the new company into the city, or
that he has no clear conception of the
functions of the mayoralty. Mr. Schmuck
seems TO be possessed of the idea
that the new company may possibly
come before him in the attitude of O
criminal, and that he will have 10
sit as judge upon its case. 1t

"TART," a famous writer in the

meeting of the Bachelors Club, and
gives the following as the wind-up
speech of the chief, which was
caught by the pencil as it fell from
his lips:
"Brother Bachelors:--I had girl
once, dear, sweet little creature!
One beautiful moonlight night, when
the glistening rays Of the moon and
stars slobbered through the emerald
crabapple and locust trees, we wan.
dered out into COW pasture, and
sat down on an old rail fence. And
there, all alone, with the exception
of large hog that was slumbering
just back Of us near the fence,) |
poured forth the old story, which
ever repeats itself anew, aud told
her how passionately loved acr. |
told her of all the heartburnG, long
ings and gizzlrd sighings had en-
dured when | thought of her Alter
spinning off about six yards of such
tatfy, wound up by asking her to
join teams with me for life My
heart dancing a jig, when she whis-
pered in doye-like tones, 'ya-as' |
placed my arms around her alabas-
ter, crane-like neck, and drew her
head against the bosom of my Ken
lucky Jean blouse, so that ] might
imprint the fond kiss of affection on
her beautiful hair lip; then | started
back in horror; my blood ran cold
and my heart almost ceased to flop
and wag.
She exclaimed in astonishmeut:
I'What on airth is the matter with
ye" As soon as could get breath
to reply said, Great Caesar! you
have been eating onions. We'll,
