Lieut.. Gordon's report on the expedi-
ton to Hudson's Bay appear. In the
report Lieut.. Gordon says: "The ice has
beensupposed to be the most formidable
barrier to the navigation of the straits,
but that terror disappears to great cx-
tent on Investigation. There are three
classes of ice, having separate origin
icebergs from glaciers il Fox channel;
heavy arctic field ice, and ordinary field
ice. No icebergs were met in the bay,
and the icebergs seen in the straits in
August and September would form no
greater barrier to navigation than in the
straits of Belle Isle. There was no diff
Guilty in passing through the ordinary
field ice and none was seen on return
voyage. The heavy arctic ice was more
formidable. There was some ice over
forty feet thick, and the general average
was fifteen feet. The question of the
origin of this ice and whether it is FREE
quently met with is important as the
steamer was helpless in it. Lieut. Gordon
ttlAuho OluCu "a JSlIo lCo 10 lll0 ACCUu1uIAs
ton of several years, and says it is
reasonable to conclude from the reports
of the Hudson Bay ships that only
occasionally heavy ice appeals in the
straits. The extreme duration of naviga-
ton at Churchill haybor is from June
18th to November 18th. Ten feet thick
ness of ice forms in Fox channel. As
regards the character of the weather for
August and September as effecting the
navigation of Hudson straits, it compares
well with Belle Isle. There were only
three gales at the former against eleven
at the latter and half the amount of fog.
Hudson's Bay has been proved navigable
early in June. The fisheries Of the bay
are most profitable and regard must he
had to them in negotiations for reci-
procity. 1t is profitable and also desira-
BILE that the expedition should leave
Halifax this year on May 18th to reach
the straits on June Let and Churchill ut
the opening Of navigation" The general
tenor Of the report is most favorable.

SHALL WOMEN vorEp

@>@sS v~A4ADAN
The question of woman suffrage was
sprung rather suddenly upon the
people Of the Territory few weeks
ago by the introduction Of Il bill into
the legislature to remove the bar that
prevents women from voting. We
understand that the bill has been re.
ferred in the councip tn an unfriendly
committee. They may succeed in
smothering the hill but they cannot
smother the question of woman right
to a voice In the government Of tie
country.
Not one of the objections to women
having the privilege of voting will
stand the test of reason. The princi.
pal arguments brought forward against
granting her this right are based on
custom and prejudice.
Politics are degrading they say.
Well, they ought not to be, and if
they are, we had better get women to
help us make them respectable.
If women had the right to vote they
would neglect their homes, it is
argued. 1t suits the opponents of
woman's rights to carry this domestic
argument to great extreme right at
this point. Women can attend other
public gatherings, such as public places
of amusement, fairs and even horse
races, but there is no cutlery about
their neglect of their homes. Let
this objection be applied all around
and 1t will make woman a domestic
slave, bringing her finally to the level
Of the heather Chinee.
But they say, if women are given
the right to vote they will he insrlted
at the polls. No, they will not. We
challenge any one to name city. town
or hamlet in Dakota where there is not
sufficient public sentiment to ensure
every lady perfectly courteous treat.
ment at the polls. In this country
even a drunken man will try hard to
be respectable in presence of the
ladies. One reason why many object
to their voting is that their presence
at the polls would he a death blow to
rowdyism there.
| Woman's physical inferiority indi.
Gates THAT she is not calculated for the
active duties Of public life. Never
theless. she may vote. II physical
strengths to be an essential qualifica
ton for voting, the stalwart red Skin
may come to the front, and some Of
the most influential men of oul
country should be DISTINGUISHED.
Most women do not ask for the
right of suffrage. it is said. 1t is M
wonder, however, that they shrinl
from asking it, when to do so is to b,
subjected to the ridicule, however un
Just of many men. But the disgrac.
attaches to the men who do not accord
them this right unasked.
Sound reason favo1s woman suffrage
Experience. SO far as it goes, favors it
An increasing number of the ables
statesmen of the present day favor it
There is nothing in the genius of oil
institutions to prevent it. Sound publ,
policy demands it.
The wheel of progress is bound Ell,

hope Dakot;. will be in the van of tn,
movement.
