THE bustlng and selfconstituted
advocates Of woman's rights are again
hammering at the doors of Congress
in these fast.vanisbing hours Of the
session, for legislation to secure for
their sex a sort of legal Utopia. That
woman have been a factor in affairs
of statecraft and politics is amply tes-
tilted by history. An elopement
caused the fall of ancient Troy. The
love for Semiramis lost the dazzling
monarch Minus his head, and changed
the destines of the Assyrian Empire.
The sparkling eyes of Briseis deprived
Greece of its liberties. The seductive
charms of the Egyptian queen cost
Anthony his life and the Imperial
purple of Rome. The beauty of Ju.
dith gave new King to Cappadocia.
The wife of Candantes spurred Gyges
to the throne of Lydia. In fact, the
rights of women from the time OF
Adams downfall through Eve, down
to the breaking up Of Jackson s cabi-
net by Mrs. Eaton, or even later, have
always been asserted. These ANA
zonian agitators do not represent the
women of America. Her rights are
amply protected, and in no common
wealth more SO than in Pennsylvania.
The right to vote will not add to her
influence in the social or political
scale. Her power is in the training
of her children to make honest, indus.
trious, temperate and usful citizens.
The mothers of any of the men illus.
trious in our Nations history have
done more for their country than un.
told votes with the sacrifice of home
and home interests which they would
have involved. Harrisburg Telegraph.

UNCLE JAKE ZIEeLER's great Daisy
Bill is a foreordained success. 1t has
been the theme of much earnest and
Aowery oratorY in the House, where it
has passed third reading and may be
considered thing accomplished. The
bill requires the farmer to root up the
ox.eye daisy before it goes to seed, un-
der a penalty of S15 for each ofense.
Not having the bill before US, we can't
say whether the penalty applies TO
each sxtirpated daisy, or to each neg
ligeat owner of daisy farm. We
know of farms On which we'd rather
pay the sl5 than grub out the dodgas
ted daisies This bill, by the way, is the
grandest and most practical step to-
ward reform yet taken by cur Demo
cratic House. Having Outlawed the
daisy, they may be trusted to push
through bill to encourage the cult.

Winter it strengthens and

Spring it enriches the blood

Summer it gives tone to the

In relation 70 the right OF the defense TO question
the witness regarding a memorandum given to
the witness by Dorsey, as the witness testified
and the purpose OF the defense, as stated, was TO
SHOW that the memorandum was written by the
witness himself The court then lead Rerdelps
st stement In his aldayit of june 1881, as to his
ability to initiate Dorsey's handwriting,
and his assertion that he had written
these memoranda himself Tho witness

ton last night as to the result OF his search he
said :--"The F0rty-flfth Congress met In special
session on March 18th, 1879 and adjourned July
1st, 1879 / left for the west the evening OF the
adjournment. or the night following. Early this
morning went to Col Ingersolrs house and asked
him TO give me the date OF the check. He said he
could not give me the date, for the simple reason
that there was no check exhibited. then went
10 Mldd!eton's bank. and there found Mr.. Middle
Tod, ana asked him IL at any Tune during the ex-
ira session, or subsequently, had presented any
check at his bank. and he promptly replied No.
then asked him 10 examine DOrsey's account
from February lst 1879, to August LIST. the same
year. with q view OF ascertaining whether any
check OF the character described by Rerdell had
been paid during that time. He consented, and.
as result OF that examination, 1t was found that
no such check had been paid or charged to Dor
SeyS account"
