TOMAN SUEERAGE.

The woman suffragists are about to assem-
BILE in Washington, to agitate their theories
| and make their demands on congress for an
extension of the elective franchise to females
Miss Susan B. Anthony, the indefatigable re-
former and resolute and untiring advocate OF
woman suffrage, is upon the ground, armed
and supported by innumerable recommend a-
tory documents, gathered up during her late
visit to Europe, from leading statesmen and
journalists, in favor of the extension of the
elective franchise to woman. She is, also,
armed with the fact that in Great Britain and
Ireland, spinsters and widows are entitled to
vote in municipal and Poor Law elections,
and, also, married women who separately
from their husbands are rated for taxa ton
under the married woman's proprietary act.
Thus congress is to be duplicated by the
earnest, able devotion of the female sex, for
the enlargement of the franchise, and per-
congressman to be almost, if not quite per-
suaded to extend the franchise to women
who possess the qualifications which entitle
men to the elective suffrage.
However theoretically persuasive the arti-
cles of faith of these women reformers may
be, in claiming the franchise to be given to
women of equal intelligence and qualifca-
lions with men, it is, nevertheless, curious
if not fateful fact that they, or many of
them, as is understood, exclude married
women from their benefcent aims of reform,
and ask suffrage only for the single women,
the unmarried and widows.
Married women, no less than the single
women and widows, may possess all the
qualifications of men for the exercise of the
franchise, but these earnest sisters may have
a benevolent design in thus excluding them,
in the fear that domestic peace might be OBJ
liberated when the wife and the husband
should happen to be warm partizans of differ
ent and contending parties. For instance,
the wife following hated leader might cause
the exasperated husband, jealous of his mar
ital rights to seek to assuage his
lacerat9d feelings in a divorce court.
How many married households might thus be
wrecked, 1t is quite appalling to guess Of
On the other hand the advocates of an ex-
tended suffrage may fear to give the fran
chise to married women lest husbands exer-
else undue persuasion, argument, influence
or force over them.
In any point Of view, the subject is fraught

An Interment DISPUTE.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 2.-Some time
since young man named Geary accidental
ly shot himself. 1t was thought the case was
suicide, and the authorities of the Catholic
church, of which deceased was a member,
refused, under directions of Bishop Dwenger,
TO allow the body to be buried in the ceme-
terry. The father Of young Geary sought re-
dress in the courts, and defeated the church
authorities. The body of the young man was
inferred in the cemetery, and to-day the
elder Geary was officially communicated,
and the ground declared desecrated so long
as the body of young Geary remained in the
cemetery. A strong guard is patrolling the
cemetery, and threats have been made to
remove the remains by violence

A Church TpOuhla.

COLUMBUS, o., Mar. 3.-For some time trouble
has existed between Rev. B. NJ. OBoylan, of
Corning, and A. j. McDavitt, druggist Of that
place, and who is also Catholic and has been a
member of O'Boylan's church. Last night q
mob of between forty and fifty men called at the
store of McDavitt and took him three miles out
in the country, where they exacted promises
from him that he would retract what
he had said about the priest no violence was done
except to flourish revovers to make McDavitt
talk The original trouble was about church af-
fairs. Boylan has come to this city where he is
in consultation with the bishop and McDavitt will
be here tomorrow. The names of the parties
who made the assault are known, and it is
thought the matter will be fixed up tomorrow.

More Rate Troubles.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 3.-How Mr.. Vining will get
out of the box into which he has stumbled is ex-
citing general attention in railway circles and the
impression is growing that graceful retreat
has been rendered well nigh impossible. Even
his own officials are of the opinion that he has
made grand mistake. A general freight agent
of one of the association lines was asked yes
terday how he regarded the commissioner
action and he replied: IS He is in bad enough
hole now, without our helping him in further"
His next step will be awaited with good deal of
curiosity. A new complication was added to-day
in cutting of lumber rates from Chicago to Denver
from 60 to 81 cents reduction it will be re-
membeFed of 25c was made recently in class D.,
freight According to the tariff in west of the
Missouri river lumber is included under this class,
but the Western Trunk line association tariff as
applying to business between Chicago and Mis-
souri, river places lumber in q
special class, The Burlington, Alton, and
Santa Fe hold that as lumber is included in class
D freight west of the river, cut on this class
between Chicago and Colorado points necessitates
a cut on lumber. Mr.. Vining entertains a con-
trary view, and has instructed his lines to
maHtain lumber tariff The Northwestern
alliance acting under construction of the situation
to-day quoted SIC rate on
lumber from Chicago to Colorado points.
The tariff west from the river is
soc. Deducting the 23c deduction and adding
the 1Oc rates from Chicago to the river, and 81
cents is the result. This rate was quoted all
day by the Burlington, Alton, Santa Fe and
Frisco, but was not met by the association lines,
Mr.. Vining instructing them to quote the 60c rate
until further advised. That the rate will be met
tomorrow is reasonably sure, while the Frisco
line has been quoting the reduced
rate from st. Louis from the be-
ginning, the Chicago agent received
the first instructions to-day to do likewise. In
the morning he received dispatch instructing
him not to meet the cut, but in the afternoon he
was ordered to quote the reduced
rate throughout territory, comprising Ohio
Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. There is no in
dicaton of an immediate further reduction on
the part of either the tripartite on the new al
lance

with great perplexities, while perhaps there
are few, if any, who will depreciate the capa-
bility of educated, intelligent women to exer
else the franchise with discrimination and
propriety equal to men, it seems to be the
fact that very considerable preponderance
of the women of this country deem it better
that women should confine their exertions to
the peculiar duties of the household, and
quieter peaceful Establishments of home
and social life, and leave the men to the
more rugged activities and often boisterous,
hurtful strifes of political life. This, after
all, is the real 'lion in the way'' of the ac-
complishment of the grant which Miss An
thony and her associates are asking at the
hands of the national congress.

Rate C1tttinn.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The Burlington, Atchison
& Topeka, and the Chicago g. Alton to-day gave
notice of the reduction of the lumber rate from
Chicago and st. Louis to Colorado points, from 60
to 81 cents per hundred. The Western Trunk
Lines association, in their recent sweeping re-
duction of rates to Colorado points, did not in
clnde lumber it being specially classed. 1t is
said theWestern Trunk Line association will meet
the cut tomorrow. One of the heaviest export
ing firms in Chicago makes the statement to a
reporter to-day, that the rate of AN cents per
hundred pounds on grain from Chicago to Liver
pool is now being quoted to him by a certain line
and that he is shipping at such rate. Inasmuch
as the usual rate is about so cents, the matter
occasions comment among shippers, none of
whom seem to know whether the cut rate is
made by the steamship or the railroa dcompany.

CURRENT CONTENT.

CERTAIN senators are not taking into their en-
ploy personal clerks, to be paid out of the con-
tingent fund of the senate, and on this account
an order has been issued that the names of those
who employ the clerks and those who do not,
shall not be made public. This fact shows that
the senators generally regard the transaction an
improper ''grab," which they do not care to have
the public talk about There is authority for
saying that Mr.. Pendleton is one of the senators
who do not avail themselves of the opportun-
ity to employ o private clerk at
public expense. He says that when he was
elected he knew exactly what was to be his pay,
and if he should find the need of private secre-
tary he would feel in duty bound to pay him out
of his own pocket. Several Of his senatorial
colleagues in condoling with Mr.. Pendleton have
assured him his civil service reform bill over
threw him. Under the circumstances the sena-
tor takes the heroic attitude and says he has no
regret for his Introduction and support of the
measure. He says that under the same circum-
stances he would again pursue the same course.
Mr.. Pendleton has been reported in Cincinnati
paper as confessng that vil-service reform was
humbug He denies having made any such
statement, or being interviewed by any one upon
the subject.

OLD TIMES, "CHET."
The "Boys" Foregatjter With Their "Pard'
at the White House.
Washington Special, Feb. 90

at the White House.
Washington Special, Feb. 80.
One of the special complaints of the
ssboys" in New York has been that their old
friend ''Chet" Arthur since he has become
President has kept them at arms length and
has not admitted them TO that footing Of
intimacy at the White House to which their
past services and friendship entitle them.
The "boys' have grieyed over this, for
they had fondly pictured the snug times
they would have at the White House with all
the enthusiasm Of ardent and trusting hearts
but they gradually became paralyzed at
being obliged to cool their heels for hours In
the ante-rooms before being able to reach
their old friend. After q time they stayed
away altogether. Within the last week or
two "Clint'' Wheeler has been employed to
soothe their lacerated feelings so as to Sc
cure their support in the State for the COM
ing campaign. The ''boys" were willing TO
make treaty of peace, but they demanded
social recognition. Last Monday night the
President gave number Of them grand
dinner in the state dining
room. The following distinguished
gentlemenwith their wives, were among those
present at this notable feast: "Clint"
wheeler, ''Barneyn Biglin, ''Bob" McCord,
cap Daggett and ''Jake'' Patterson. The
harmony Of the feast was in measure
clouded by the fact that Mrs. Biglin and Mrs.
Patterson are not upon speaking terms.
There has been no formal mention Of this
dinner in any of the elegant society reports
Of the doings at the White House and it has
been only with great difficulty that your cor
respondent has obtained the partial list Of
guests given above.
