WOMEN SUFFRAGE.

The woman suffrage state convcn-
ton held at Topeka this week, was a
iizzlc from the simple fact that the
short-harcd crop of women grows
smaller each ycar-frum the fact that
a corporal's guard could not be drum
ed up 10 attend a political convention.
These woman suflragsis leaders
might rs well make up their minds to
the fact that the women of this coun-
try will never be forced into politics
or pubic life or to vote, until major
ity OF the women themselves ask il.
and that will never be until pleasant,
happy homes are at a discount and the
majority Of wives repudiatc babies. A
mother and a baby means home and
home without a mother and baby is
no home for a man, if he he
4 man. A majority of women
in public and business life means the
abandonment of home, and when
home shall have disappeared, the MAJ
riage ceremony will become disrepu-
table also. For one, we would rather
give up our right, or duty, to vote
even our government Of the people.

TO give up wife, baby and home, for
when forced to give up the latter we

blessings which SO thickly bestrcw the
pathway of this fair and prosperous
heritage.
So anxious is this Enporia Repub-
lican 10 fulfill its contract with the cor
poration by which it agreed to elect
railroad attorney governor of Kansas,
that it loses sight of of its own utter
insignificance, talks as though it imag
ined its editors were endowed with
brains, and that other essential appen-
dagc. In its blind zeal to serve the
railroad interests of the state. we
should not be startled at any time to
sec ii call upon the people of Emporia
to fall down and worship the Santa Fee
track, the dumb ties and rails, as fell
the ancient Egyptian down to worship
the fructifying Nile. The imitation be-
gotten Of the idea that it is speaking
for somebody has led it to imagine
that in some way it might disturb the
status of the Wichita postmaster.
when, heaven knows, that, helped by.
all the friends it ever boosted or ever
expects TO claim. its railway candidate
for governor and his friends throw
in, all combined, couldn't in thous-
and years, remove the paper delivery
clerk of the Wichita postoflice.
What Emporia needs above all
other things is an cnterprising morn
ing paper. The late census OF that
town shows only a population of 7,4i5
as against l., 57l returned for Wichita.
This difference can be accounted for
upon no other hypothesis than
tina! Wichita's morning paper is just in
that ratio superior 10 the duh, moDot-
inous, unenterprising corporation or
gan that grinds out every morning
under its load Of stale news, staler
editorials and patent medi cine adyer-
tiscmcnts, claiming To be a representa-
tive Of the spirit of the town of col
legcs and stage celebrities. What.Em-
poria wants now, the only thing IN
fact that she lacks of being in a posi-
ton TO sweep right along with Wichi-
Ia in population, wealth and influence,
is morning paper which will at least
try Ia emulate the spice, wisdom and
enterprise OF its evening cotcm-
porary. In brief, Enporia
wants, instead of bib-apron contain
ing the drool of fossilizcd old granny
who ought 10 have been buried and
forgotten thousand wears ago, a
paper bearing the same relations TO
the life of her people that the London
Times does 10 England, the Herald

Cara f., III Mr.. EEuNiyI,

As tho contest TOR tho Shoritl nomination Is
drawing to clesc, perhaps 1t would not be
out OF place to make moderate appeal to
the people through this mod un fer their sup
port at that election, and hope that no one
who may feel fsvorhly disposed toward my
nomination, will allow any trino to deter
thew from going to the polls, and casting a
ballot for me, as 1t Is only that which will
secure 10 me the desired result. ] Am much
obliged to the press for the liberal number Of
votes accorded to me below Market street
bridge (l.cc0), but hope that no one will get
the idea tn at that is my estimate. for don't
think have ever said as much to anybody
as think to mako any correct estimate OF
what that vots will bo before It Is counted,
would be vary hard to do, for the number
will depend on the turnout, and the turnout
will depend on the weather, but to say tho
lenst, l think 1t will be very creditablc one.
While ! have done all In my powor during
the canvass to secure the nomination, ! have
studiously avoided doing or saying anything
about the other candidates that would be
likely 10 make . sore that would need doc
torinK In case l was successful. And while
there hiss been strong disposition on the
part of Tow 70 peTsecute mo, l have not so
much a. resented It, And 1t docs seem strange
to mo tHat people 20 far forgot themselves
as TO entirely lose sight Of the difference be-
tween fighting their party and fighting the
opposite party, question very much ri
these tome parties have displayed as much
enthusiasm In fighting the enemy in former
campaigns, ss they have displyed during the
past few weeks In circulating what think
they believe to bo untruthful REPORTS with re.
gard to my POLITICAL record, and all have

A Word for Sparks.
For the REPUBLICAN.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: While looking
over your issue of the 18th, | saw an
article headed, The one-armed Candi-
date" that said there were none more
deserving of the honor of nomination
for Coroner than Mr. Joseph Walter
Woodrow. Now, | must say | know
nothing against Mr.. Woodrow what.
ever, but / do know one candidate who
beyond a doubt is more worthy of the
honor than any candidate of the whole
Republican list.
The ono allude to is none other
than Mr.. Charles f. Sparks, as he is
always polite and ohliging. There is
not candidate in the entire race that
can show any better record than Mr.
Sparks. None of them nor al OF them
put together have taken more dead
bodies from the Delaware river and
Christiana and Brandywine creeks
than he has. He has been called from
his bed at midnight to grapple the
creek for drowned mothers, fathers,
brothers and sisters, to which calls he
always promptly responded, never
resting until the lost we're found, as
long as there was a hope of finding
them.
Since Mr.. Sparks started on his
career of mercy and usefulness, he has
taksn no less than 81 dead bodies from
the water. and was never paid for any
Of them, as be never made any charge
for his valuable services. ! will leave
it to the public If 1t will not be a Just re-
ward to give Mr.. Sparks our entire vote.
Then let us vote as ono man for

A Good Idea.

One Of the most Objectionable features
of base ball game Is the number of
disputes that frequently occur between
members OF the two opposing clubs az
well as among persons in the audience,
at the unfair decisions Of the umpire,
who is often placed in a rather uncom.
Portable position. In order to obviate
this growing evil gentleman writesttO
manager Wright, of the Philadelphia
club, the letter being given entire as
published In last sSunday's Sporting
Life: Mr.. H. Wright.-Dear Sir:--As
there is always great deal of dissatis.
faction on the part of the umpire in ball
games in most all parts of the country,
why would it not be a good plan to have
three umpires and locate them as per
enclosed diagram. Let the umpire at
the home base call strikes, balls, foul
balls and outs from home base to first
and home base to third base, and the
umpire at the first base call the outs at
the first base and foul balls beyond first
base, fly catches in right field and outs
on second base, as no has better advan.
tages to see If base runner is touched
with the bail than an umpire at home
plate, as it very often happens that q
runner is call out while running from
first to second base, when the ball is
thrown from the catcher to second base
man, when he is not touched at all by
the baseinan, and it looks to the umpire
ut the home plate that he was, where
an umpire on the first base could see
very plainly if touched or not; and an
umpire on the third base could see all
points from third to second, and all fly
catches in left field and foul balls. Let
these base umpires be stationed on the
players lines, and let one umpire be
selected from each club for the bases
and the regular umpire at home. !
think in this way the base ball people
would be better satisfied, Knowing
you TO be one Of the best base ball mon
in the country send you his tor your
consideration and Your oiiniou upon it.
