The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1884-07-18

The status of the woman suffrage
question is reviewed at some length by
an eastern journal, and the conclusion
is reached that the record Of 1884 is neg
ative without exception. In Iowa both
houses refused even to submit to pro-
posed constitutional amendment tc
popular vote. In Massachusetts the ad.
verse vote was worse than two to one,
(l44 to 5O.) In New-Jersey the matter
went no further than afacetious debate.
In Oregon, the popular vote on a constitu
tional amendment, stood about six to one
in its favor. In New York, the suffrage
for women was reputed advisely in the
senate ten to one, and last on vote in
the house. In Utah, whatever the ex-
PLANTATION may he, the women vote for
the church and polygamy. Hence, the
bill now pending in congress disfran-
cllises the women. The question came
up in the British Parliament upon q
motion to amend the pending franchise
bill by including the principle of won.
an suffrage. The vote was 153 yeas,
271 nays. The size of the majority ID
doubtless due to Mr.. Gladstone's vigo r.
ous speech declaring that the ministry
would abandon the bill If the amend
ment should prevail. While women
have been allowed to practice law and
medicine, and to preach, and TO COM
mend steamboats,, the equestion of voting
is relegated to the future.

Arecent writer combats the idea that
the county is in danger from Plutocracy,
or the money power, because fortunes
are sure to he divided up at the death
of the owner, and the heirs in most
cases squander the great fortune much
more rapidly than it was accumulated.
The moral reason at the bottom is moi
in the least obscure. The fortune.
maker is nerved to lay aside his gains
by the memory Of early hardships and
privation. The heir knowing moth
ing of these trials, has no concep.
tion of the value Of money, and &C.
cordingly wastes it. The writer con.
cludes that no aristocracy thrives per
manently except one that is based on
land. It must be possessed also of men.
tai or physical endowments superior "a
that of the common run of men. In
the rudest phases of society the aristo-
crat is the heaviest fighter. II he is to
hold his own in these days, he must be
intellect ually superior to his fellow.
men, and then again, the asse ssor, the
common school, and the ambitions for
political preferment, the latter depend
ing wholly on the favor of the people,
are too much for the long life Of aris-
tOcracy.

Medical experts at Tonlon have pro-
nounced the cholera cases in that city
to he of the true Asiatic type, thus dis
sipating the theory that the present out
break of the disease was wholly due to
neglect Of local sanitary arrangements,
Hough Toulon and Marseilles are the
nastiest cities in southern Europe. Inone
view local neglect favors and fosters the
foreign fatal agent, but it pursues its
course without this auxiliary. Indeed,
In presence Of fixed facts there is too
much time wasted in theorizing. II
matters little in the death -throe Of the
patient whether this plague Of plagsss
q contagious or infectious. The best
way il to regard il in both aspects and
take precautionary aud preventive
measures accordingly. .sGq

Judges and Jurymen," is the title
Of an able paper in the North Ameri-
can Review for July, from the pen Of
Judge Pitmsn Of the superior court
of Massachusetts,. Trial by jury,
he thinks, is not yet outgrovn.
though murmurs against it are heard
more frequently Of late than formerly.
II has had great value as an educational
influence. As de Tocqueville says, "it
teaches men to practice equity; every
man learns to judge his neighbor as he
would himself be judged. and this is the
soundest preparation for free institu-
tion." He gives some leading features
ofjury Judgment which he thinks are
lisbleto be moro correct than the judg-
ment ofajudge. Active aud busy men Of
various occupations are clearly better
qualified to decide what an average
man would do than Q single Judge Of
sedentary pursuits, accustomed to re-
Election and caution, can be. One OBJ
lection to compelling the court
to try. questions Of fact would be
that, as Judge Pltman thinks, it
would impair the confidence
Of litigants in its impartiality.
The judge in deciding questions of
law speaks from superior knowledge,
and the litigants accept his Judgment as
probably sound and as subject to cor
rection if wrong, by the highest court,
butin deciding questions Of fact he must
come to conclusions upon matters in re-
gard to which the laity think themselves
as we'll informed and as competent to
form . Judgment Is lie, and an opinion
which they think wrong they would TOO
readily ascribetopartiality prejudice.
Juries being necessary, Judge Pitmsn
thinks they can be greatly improved BY
more care in their selection, their own
treatment in various respects, and the
removal of the requirements Of unanim-
ity in civil cases. The Judge thinks
that the a9reemeuJ OF Iurue.1UurIuB or
the jury, with the approval of the court,
ought to be sufficient in civil cases, and
in this opinion, as in his other sugges-
tions, the public will agree with him,
while they will most strenuously oppose
the clamor of thoughtless journalists
for the abolition of the Jury system.

a Cattle Drive.

George Pomeroy Reese, in Harper's Magazine
With the early starting of the grass
in the spring, the cattle are on the trail.
They have the road brand by which the
present owner is known, and are head
ed northward for their new and distant
home. A thousand miles they will
travel before they reach their destina-
ton, and in the windings of the road,
and in the course which many q way
ward steer will take, no doubt, much
more. II all goes we'll, and no mishaps
occur, the end may be reached in three
months time, or about the middle Of
July. In the hands Of . careful fore
man they will come through with but
little loss in Aesh and numbers.
The word drive is q misnomer IS
applied % tha trail. It is exactly this
which should not be done. Cattle once
gathered, and headed in the direction
of their long journey, should be al
lowed to "drift" rather than be urged.
Walking as they feed they will accom-
pliah their twelve or f,ft.an milo. a 40,

remark is especially applicable to the

that there are "dragsn to every herd
which need urging to keen them mn to

that the losses, il any, occur. All ex-
element Of the animals is TO be avoided.

THE MONEY MARKET.
SUNDAY. March or. u.


Last week developed no important changes in the
general commercial and financial situations. Yet
there occurred some events of interest. that under
other and natural conditions would exert an i'm
pOrtant change in our foreign commerce and in-
cidentally have an influence on the home dstribu-
ton of general merchandise. without discussing 2
the question Of profit loss accruing to the rail-
roads by the movement of the products Of the West
to the Atlantic seaboard at rates based upon less
than one-third of mill per ton per mile for grain
If the rate would move the stuff out of the country
the temporary effect on the railroads would be OF
sma Il importance. 1t is apparent to every one that
the difference between a 80 and 10 cent rate for
grain from Chicago to New-York is equal to de-
cline of cents per bushel in the
Chicago prlce for wheat, and therefore
that the official reduction TO 10 cents should
narrow the difference between the Western, the
Eastern and the European markets. And so it
would, if the business for several weeks had not
been based upon actual rates Of 20 and 10 cents
1t was reported yesterday that large contracts had
been made at 10 cents which, is equal to only
cents per bushel and there is little question that
business taken at 12l2 cents, which is equal to
only 7 cents per bushe As either Of these rates is
lower than that at which the water routes will seek
the business and the bulk Of the grain finally must
come to the East, il is likely that the new rates
will stimulate large movement, so that the East
ern elevators and stOrehOuses will be filled at an
earlier date than usual, and room be made at the
Western points of accumulation for the receipt of
the supplies still remaining III the country. West
ern shippers now have no inducement to hold
the stuff West till the opening of navga-
tion, because they cannot expect lower rates
than now are offered, and the railroads at any time
may stop their present suicidal course, a1d there
come period of two or three week of high rates be-
fore navigation opens. Bit the Unfortunate point
is that all this has little effect upon our exports.
The markets are still apart; freights being at a
minimum, there must either be an advance in the
European prices q still further decline in
prices. Despite the reduction lO1icial in rates,
Chicago prices off 2l2 cents for wheat, for the
week; l, cents for corn; a l 4 cents for oats
about 80 cents for pork and 30 cents for lard and
the declines IN this market are about the same as in
Chicago: and the declines in the European markets
are rather more than ours, and hence the export
movement has been very small. At the present ac-
knovied ged rail and ocean steam rates, wheat can
betaken from Chicago via New York to Liverpoolat
13 cents; at yesterdays reported new cut it costs
nearly ~ cents per busheL The interior move
ments continue to be on liberal scale, and for
reasons already stated next weeks movements
should be unusually large.
The receipts and shipments Of wheat, corn and
oats al the principal Western points of accumula-
tion for four weeks compare rs follows:
