The recent vote of the Massachusetts

The recent vote of the Massachusetts,
House on the woman suffrage question
was the most unfavorable which the
measure has received since it was first
presented to the Legislature of the Bay
State in 1867. Unprecedented observers
generally agree that the chief obstacle
to the further progress of the move
ment is the Indifference or opposition Of
the sex in whose behalf it is urged. As
the Boston Journal, a conservative
newspaper which generally reflects the
average public sentiment, puts it:
when decided majority of the intel
igent women of Massachusetts, demand
the ballot, it will be forthcoming in due
season; until they do, it will not be
thrust upon them" 1t may be added
that this statement holds true generally
in other States, and the moral is that
the advo Gates of woman suffrage
must devote themselves to converting
the women if they hope to succeed.

Washington and the city of Mexico
are now united by an iron band, where
by travel between the halls Of Congress
and the ''halls of the Montzumas" is
as easy and swift as between the east
ern and western borders of our own
land. The managers of the Mexican
Central railroad, who have accom-
plished this feat, deserve credit for the
engineering skill displayed, and still
more for the spirit Of honesty which has
marked their enterprise. The ques-
ton how far Mexican railroading will
pay is yet to be settled by experiment,
but the political advantages that must
follow works of this sort are 80 great
as to commend them to favor. With
railroad communication now established
it is almost a necessary sequence that
the two nations will adopt system of
friendly reciprocity of trade and astute
politicians think they can see in a fu-
ture the absorption of the Mexican re-
public by the United States. Though
no annexation or fiibustering schemes
are visible at present, an impression
prevails in some quarters that in the
fulness of time, whatever that may
mean, Mexico will drop like ripe fruit
into the lap of the greater American re-
public.

A real estate dealer in Fitchburg,
Mass, advertises in the Springfield
Republican as follows: "Why GO West
to the land of floods, hail-storms, biz
yards, cyclones and other disco mforts
when you can buy farms in good old
Massachusetts that will produce as much
corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and hay
per acre as any land there. We can
sell you farm for what it will cost you
to construct your buildings, with all
the advantages, social, religious, educa-
tional, and the best market in the world
for oil that can be produced from the
farm" The Yankee real estate
dealer promises too much. The fact
and it is a fact, that farms in New Eng
land are offered and sold for less than
the cost of buildings also proves too
much. # the product of these farms
and other alleged advantages were as
represented, shrewd New Englanders,
who. are as canny and shrewd as any in
the world, would not sell their farms
for less than the cost of buildings
Statements to the contrary are an insult
totheir intelligence, for they know that
more money is to be made by raising

selling at home, while educational and

A Foolish Fathers Rash Act.

Temper's wicked work is we'll illus
trated in Virginia romance that a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press
tells. While he was at church one
Sunday listening to a sermon on the
prodigal son, he saw tears trickle down
the cheeks of an aged couple. Inquiry
disclosed that sad memories of the
gray-haired Colonel and his wife re-
called by the sermon had melted
their hearts. Years ago, he was a
proud, quick-tempered man. He had
son who was also proud but not
passionate. Near by lived family
to whom the Colonel never spoke,
hating them bitterly On
the eighteenth anniversary of the birth
of their daughter, the neighbours family
gave party. and the son of the Colonel
was invited. When the father learned
of it, he forbade his son to attend. In
the afternoon of the day of the party,
the son ordered a splendid team har-
messed and drove away. The Colonel
was absent at the time. When he re-
turned he inquired for his son. Learn
ing that he had driven away, the Col
onel called for his hunting whip and
horse and rode rapidly toward his hated
enemy's mansion. As he dashed past
he saw his sons team under the trees
and cared for by his own coachman.
He kept on to small shady lane lead
ing in an opposite direction from the
house. Suddenly he came upon
his son walking with q
young lady, and, without word, he
rode up, seized him and cut him several
times over the face with the riding whip.
"You ungrateful scoundrel," he said,
"never cross my path again." The Col
onel's face was white with passion as he
rode away. This happened over If
teen years ago, and, although thousands
of dollars have been spent and every eff
fort made to find some trace of the mis-
sing son, they have been Intellectual,

eyes," replied the general, II wanted Terry
to come down here and help me to secure an
appropriation for new barracks at Fort Smell
ling He is good talker, and understands the
situation and the congressman take good deal
of stock in what he says. do not know any
officer in the army who is more highly respect
ed or more influential than Gen. Terry. We
want $200, 600 to build new post. 1t will cost
more to fix up the present barracks than to
build new ones. We want a new and q nice
post up on the higher ground above the old
one. 1t will cost about $500 600, if the SOL
diers perform the labor, and will save all it
costs in one year"
chow do you figure that out?"
cit is my policy to concentrate the army, as
far asI can, in large and convenient posts. 1t
costs good deal less, and the railroad facilities
are 80 good now all over the West, that we can
send soldiers wherever they are wanted cheap
er than we can sustain them in the outlying
frontier posts. My policy is to concentrate
them at convenient points where the railroad
facilities are good. St Paul is q
very convenient location, and want big
post there, with regiment of cavalry and
another of infantry-say twelve or fifteen hun
dred men, They can go to Fort Keogh from
St. Paul as quick and as easily as from the
posts IN Northern Montana, and at great deal
less expense to the government"
Chow do you figure out that you can save
enough in year to build new post?"
Gin this way: Including the transportation
of clothing, subsistence, forage, fuel, and
quartermaster's supplies, with the expense Of
day to keep 100 infantry soldiers at
Fort Smelling. and $61. 50 to keep 100 cavalry
men at Fort Assnaboine for example, it costs
$5208 day to keep 100 infantrymen The
saving, then, in keeping the men at Smelling,
is $2O35 per day for hundred infantry, and
SAG 66 per day for the same number Of cavalry
men. The saving in year at Fort Smelling is
$11, 5S5 40 for infantry, and $22, 557 for caval-
rymen. 1t is an argument in favor of economy
that nobody can get round, don't you see!
Then take an estimate of 500 men. The saving
to the government would be Isl, 800 Is in
keeping that number of infantry at Fort SMELL
ing year and $112, 785 in keeping 800 cavalry
men Then take an estimate of thousand men
the savings would be $115, 814. 50 a year on in
fantry and $225, 300 year on cavalrymen. Sup
pose put regiment of 800 cavalry at Fort
Smelling. It would save the cost of the post in
single year"
.sWhat is the prospect of getting the appro-
priationY"
81 think it is good. If congress wants econ
omy, have given some arguments they can't
get around"
