The great cause of woman suffrage does not appear to be gaining ground in Massa chusetts A bill which proposed to extend the suffrage in municipal elections to woman has just been defeated in the Massa- chusetts house, by the decisive vote of IA to 50. This is the largest adverse majority which the women sutfragists have ever encountered in Massachusetts. An interest ing incident Of the debate which preceded the vote was the reading of Q letter from 6 woman, formerly zsalous suffrsgist in Mas saehusetts, who has lived some years in Wyoming, which territory has enjoyed woman suffrage for . dozen years or more. Her observations there have made her an opponent of woman suffrage, and the letter which ewas read gave her new opinions, and some of her reasons for them.

AN AWKWARD RFcORD-

Records are troublesome things sometimes, and the New York Times, which is now do- ing it's best to help Cleveland into the presi- dential chair, is feeling the force of this sol emn fact. Only last year the Times declared that Cleveland nominated ex-Senator Murtha to public office ''from considerations purely political, i" and that his talk about the ex-sen- ator's fitness was all "humbug pretension;" that in approving the aqueduct bill he authorized the robbery of the public on a great scale" and then tried to make up for it by committing depredations on indiyidu- als with claims against the State which were inserted in the supply bifI;n Fha1 his course on the same aqueduct bill would cause the people to ftgive up their faith in the honest intentions of Governor Cleveland;' that he was ''willing to swindle the architects of the capitol out of money which the State owes them for work done in order to gain repu- tation as reformerr;" that his treatment of these architects was fsabout the cheapest and scurviest trick, even of this very 1ow-priced statesman;" that he was parochial ''states- man," and that "nothing could be more pre- posterous than the nomination to the presi- dency of Governor Cleveland"
 Now the Times is hewling for Cleveland, and the question is how has he managed to change so within a year as to win the faith and support of the paper which could see lit tie that was good in him a short time ago.

THE FREE TRADE PARTY.

The Democrats are doing all they can to conceal the fact that their party is the party of free trade, but the record, as Gen eral Hawley so plainly showed in his great speech in this city Thursday evening, is too much for them. Judge Agnew of Phila- de1phia in letter to the Press brings out very sharply the positions of the Democratic party on the tariff question. He says: In the platform of 1880 they pledged themselves anew t'to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party, as illus trated by the teachings and examples of 8 long line of Democratic statesmen and pat riots embodied in the platform of the last national convention of the party" This is followed immediately by 8 repetition, "a tariff for revenue only." Such were the doctrines and pledges of theDemocratic party four years ago, and on this pledge the solid South, the soil of slavery and all its memo
 ries supported Hancock. Such is the funda- mental principle on which 153 free trade Democrats, under the lead of Carlisle and Morrison, in the last session of congress only forty four, under the lead of Randall, voted against this fiat and indiscriminate re- duction. Mark, too, the coincidence of this 20 per cent. scale with the 20 per cent. of the compromise bill of 1883, forced by the South upon the North, and which brought ruin and bankruptcy the whole country.
 Do those who have to work for living want to help such party as this into power? Not much, if they understand he matter, and we believe a large majority of them do.

 A point of much interest to large class of workingmen has been decided in their favor in a Pennsylvania court. It is, in effect, that the bills which miners run up at the stores of the company employing them cannot be ] deducted from their wages. This is just decision.
 Yesterday completed the one hundredth year of the eminent Anglo-Jewish philan- thropist, Sir Moses Montefore. He is a wonderful old man and is beloved and rev erenced throughout Europe, as he deserves l to be, for few lives have been so perpetually active in good works. He has been most lavish benefactor of his persecuted race, but his benefcence has not been confined to his fellow Hebrews.
 Colonel Neal Dow has written another let l ter to say that he sees no good reason why prohibitionists should not support the Re publican party. He adds that he is still de- | sirous of promoting the cause of prohibition \ everywhere, but is anxious that this may be
