Women and the Ballot.
CoNGREssMEN EXPRESSING DIVERGENT
VIEWS ON THE QUESTION OF
SUFFRAGE.

The House committee on the judi
ciary last week submitted four reports
relative to extending the right of suf-
frage to women. The adverse major
ity report was prepared by Representa-.
tive Maybury and says in part "To
permit the entrance of political con-
tention into home would be either
useless OF pernicious-useess if man
and wife agree and pernicious if they
differ. In the former event the vol
ume of ballots alone would be increased
without changing results. In the lat
ter the peace and contentment of home
would be exchanged for the bedlam of
political debate and become the scene
of base and demoralizing intrigue.
In answer to the question
often suggested what portion and what
class of women would avail themselves
of the privilege of suffrage if extended
to women, your committee is of the
opinion that while a few intelligent
women, such as appeared before the
committee in advocacy of the pending
measure, would defy all obstacles in the
way of their casting the ballot, yet the
great mass of the intelligent, refined
and judicious, with the becoming
modesty of their sex, would shrink IRON
the rude contact of the crowd, with the
exceptions mentioned, leaving to the
ignorant and vilest the exclusive right
tospeak for the gentler sex in public
affairs.
Mess,s. Reed, L. D. Taylor, r. NJ.
Browne and McCoid in their minority
report say "The association of the
sexes in the family circle, in society
and in business having proved improv-
ing to both, there is neither history,
reason nor sense to justify the asser-
tion that association in politics will
lower the one or demoralize the other.
Mr.. Dorsheimer, while concurring
with the majority in recommending
that the matter be laid on the table,
says 81 think it probable that the
interest of society will soon require that
woman should have the right of suf-
frage." Mr.. Polands report says "The
office aud duty which nature had de-
volved upon woman during all the
active aud vigorous portion of her life
would often render it impossible and
still more indelicate for her to appear
and act in caucuses, conventions or
elections, or to act as a member of a
Legislature or as a juror or Judge"

One hundred men were discharged
from Baldwin's locomotive works re-
Gently and one of the members Of the
firm said that unless other work came
in the discharging would continue
until the present working force Of 5000
would be reduced to about 1000 men.
The works have been running to their
full capacity for several years past and
average $50 locomotives year The
cause of the falling off in orders the
gentleman said, was that, the railroads
have been carrying freight and pas
sengers at such low rates that they are
compelled to reduce their expenses and
one of the first places in which to re-
trench is the motive power. The trunk
lines, he said, have now stopped cut
ting each others throats, and he
thought that when the fall carrying
trade begins there will be plenty Of

The increased demand for an abundant
supply of pure water for domestic use
and as a protection against fire, and the
probability that it can be had for $50 900,
warrants serious and critical
examination of all the facts per-
tanning to the subject. Let the
village intelligently consider this
subject, and if Mr.. Randall's estimate
prove upon careful investigation to be
reliable, and the source of supply abund-
ant, we should not be behind our sister
towns of Vergennes and Brandon in this
matter. The annual income from the
water rents in Nergennes is about $1,000,
enough to pay the interest on bonded
debt at the rate of cent. No doubt the
loan could be effected at that rate. Ev-
crything is at rock-bottom prices and no

No one Of the public acts of the late
Legislature has been the subject of so

could not be applied to sums under $50.
Then the credit system would not prevail

cerned would be better of.
