fued civilization and elevated and In.
flexible morality is blocked. 1t may be
granted that many advocates Of new
code Of duties and powers for woman
are as sincere as they are earnest in
their work, but nevertheless in their
istaken purposes they damage rather
than benefit their sex.
A debate few days ago in the Iowa
State Senate, brought out some forcible
and vigorous remarks from Senator
BLISS, who denied that most Of the
things that were asked in behalf Of
woman would benfit either sex, but
quite the reverse. The great problem
he said, coming up for solution in this
country is the question Of domestic
help. "What shall we do with our
kitchens?" he asked, filed the follow
ing answer:
ga woman Is willing to go anywhere
into stores, offices, the public schools,
and anywhere under GODS heavens
where she can earn. enough to feed and
clothe herself except into the kitchen.
1t is easier for man to marry ten
wives than to hire one servant girl.
The American people are fast bee oming
q people practically without homes.
We are drifting into French fats, the
cooperative MISUNDERSTANDING
in groups, living like cattle, feeding out
of a common trough.

PREPOsrEROUs WOE.

The affectation of woe which the
world displays over the demise OF Prince
Leopold is so clearly an affection as to
be amusing. The dead Prince was OF
no consequence to the world. Thous-
ands Of ADLER, better and grander men
die every day and pass to their lopg
home unnoticed, save by their more in
innate friends. When an inventor, q
hero, a wise legislator, an incorruptible
Judge, an upright merchant, a philan-
tn o. ist, or q faithful workman dies,
the world makes little note of the fact.
Extravsgant praise and false and fool
ish Qualification are reserved for the
prineeling whom the world never knew,
and whose life or death makes no diff
ference to mankind in general.
Such exhibitions are now to be wit
messed throughout Europe ought to
make every American proud Of his
citizenship and OF his country. We
are sharply criticised at times, and fire..
quently with reason, but we have no
iIs buttons which compel US to mas
querade in the presence Of death, or
which put the most grotesque false
hoods into the mouths OF our greatest
and best citizens. Having no princes
of the blood to shed mock tears over, or
to bury, we are at liberty to speak
lruthfully of departed worth, whatever
its station in life, and to judge eandidly
vanished greatness, however acquired.
There is no played out nobility or i'm
beetle royalty demanding canonization,
and no governmental eOnventionalisms
making of usa nation Of hypecrites or
syeophants.
The weak aud effeminate prince who
has just died had nothing but the acct
dent Of birth to commend him to the
attention of the world. He was an un-
fortunate and unhappy human being,
lib e thousands of Others, with no con-
81 icuous virtues or abilities, but with
many weaknesses. The spectacle of
cou ri and ministries, the great and the
small on earth, paradiug a pretended
grief over the passing away Of such 8
person is only one of the curious phases
of the idolatry which royalty imposes
on lis subjects.

There are in New York city between
twenty and thirty women, mostly wild
IS, who are worth 81 900, 900 or over
apiece. Some are worth as high as
S5,OOO, 900 each, others 50, 900, 900, =, 5OO,.
900 and 100000.
These women are all taxed, and when
the assessors get after a woman they
. enerally give her the benefit Of a full
valuation of her estate. Rich men look
after the assessors, and we know OF
male millionaires, poor fellows, who
appear to be totally destitute Of per-
sonal property. But the women who
are so unfortunate as to own a large
amount of property have to bear their
full share of public expenditures. Yet
not one of the millionaire taXDaying

band to vote for them. Many of them
have no sons to send as substitutes to
the polls. Here is taxation without
representation-the very thing our rev.

The New York Mail and Express says
on this question: This fact promises
to be one of the chief factors in the re-
yival OF the movement to extend the
ballot to women equally with men,"
But there is considerat on, to our
mind, Of greater weight than that.
Where there is a score OF millionaire
widows there are thousands of women
wsge workers who have no voice in
choosing our rulers or making our laws.
The millionaire widows will never
suffer any special hardship from unjust
and oppressive laws, but the toiling
women may and frequently do. We
don't suppose the ballot will save them
from all their troubles 1t is very
awkward weapon to handle righteous
" and effectively, as the men have
found out, but it might help them in
some directions. But il they want 1t

A COSTLY MARNING

Cincinnati will have a heavy bill "a
pay for the damages inflicted by the
mob during the recent great riot. The
court house destroyed was. - fine struc.
ture that cost S250, 900, and with it ri
the records were burned, rs we'll as the
second best law library in the United
states. In addition To these losses, some
Of which are irremediable, a number OF
private establishments were Quilted by
The raSb!e, and their proprietOrs will,
of course, demand and receive cOmpeu
sation for the damages incurred. The
killing and wounding of citizens may
also swell the amount OF financial O6li-
gsticns incurred by the city, to say
nothing Of the cost of calling cut the
militia and the numberless incidental
expenses that will inevitably grow out
of such sn affair.
There are suggestions in this affair
for the authorities in Othsrc les. TIE
Importance of having q militia force
well organized and suitably equipped
and commanded in every large city has
again been elesrly illustrated by this
affair. There are dangerous elements
in all great eenters of population ever
ready to take advantage of such an OPP
portuuity to crafty their thirst for vio-
lenee and blood. The history of every
such outbreak has shown that after il
has grown beyond the power of the
regular police to suppress it the pres
ence of q suitable militia force may be
turned to account il properly handled.
Disciplined troops with q wise and de-
termined commander at such times are
invaluable, and will prevent bloodshed
and the destruction Of property.
There appears to have been some
wild shooting by the militia at Cine;u-
natl, but the provocstion in many cases
Was very great.

TUECONVENTION.

\ goodIy number of Democrats met
at the Court House, yesterday afternoon,
and appointed delegation to the State
ard District Conventions. The aim
was to get full delegation Of Repre-
sentative Democrats who would certain
ly attend the Conventions; and in view
1.-THE fact that it will require some Eve
or six days to make the round trip, it
was thought this would be difficult to
do. But such proved not to be the
case. After the full delegation of forty
had been elected, several other gentle
men were presented who were ais
willing to serve in the capacity Of Rep
resentatives, and they were promptly
added b. the Convention. The delega-
ton Is an able and exc ,lleul me.
The COVE ltiCn was fairly atten L d,
and the feeling manifested was one OF
harmony.
