Why Flower WouIdn,t RIM

New York special, Oct. 3-One of the
explanations of Roswell P. Flowers re-
tusal to run for the lieutenant governor
ship of this state is that William Wal
dorff Astor would have spent money
lavishly to defeat him. such ,s the as
sertion current among the throngs of
politicians surrounding the rival candi.
dates for governor during their stay in
this city. Young Astor was a nominee
for congress four years ago in what is
known as the millionaire district. The
canvass was memorable. Astor made
personal appeals from residence to resi-
dence, though the district includes q
large section of tenement houses as we'll
as the mansions of Fifth avenue; and he
spent ten to fifteen dollars In every
saloon, thus swelling his expenses to
over 100000. His manager was Jakey
Patterson, Ioted east side politician.
Flower was not much if any less lavish,
and his agent was Jimmy O'Brien, an
experienced campaigner. The defeat of
Astor was humiliatiug blow, bluuted
only by his immediate appointment by
President Arthur as minister to italy,
He has returned from New York. and his
father is very positively reported to have
offered an open purse TO beat Flower.
That would have necessitated corres-
ponding expenditure by Flower, and he
declined to go into that contest,

In q letter to the committee on wom-
an suffrage at the Massachusetts leg
islature Mrs. Clara T. Leonard makes
these two good points against suffrage
for her sex:
Voting is simply a mathematical test
or strength. UDciviIized nations strive
for mastery by physical combat, thus
wasting life and resources. Enlighten-
ed societies agree to determine the rela-
tive strength of opposing parties by
actual count. God has made women
weaker than men, incapable of taking
part in battles. lndisposed to make riot
and political disturbance.
The vote which, in the hand of man,
is possible bayonet," would not, when
thrown by woman, represent any phys
ical power to enferce her will. If all
the women in the state voted in one
way, and ell the men in the opposite
one, the women, even if in the majority,
would not carry the day, because the
vote would not be an estimate of materi-
al strength and the power to enforce the
will of the majority. When one consid
ers the strong passions apd conflicts ex.
cited in elections, it is vain to suppose
that the really stronger would yield to
the weaker party.

Our people have perhaps not fully
realized the advantages which will &C.
cue to Yankton through the permanent
location here OF the Catholic hesdqnar-
ters of Dakota. Yankton is now Bishop
Martyrs home and his residence oc-
cupies commanding site upon the west
bluff. He has no known intention of
changing his headquarters, though sew.
eral Dakota cities are holding out to
him tempting pecunia,y offers and are
pelsistently pushing their claims. The
fact that the church of the Sacred Heart,
in this city has been designated the
Cathedral chu-cb indicates that the
bishops affection for Yankton is still
strong.
The continued residence OF Bishop
Marty in our city would result in the
construction of a cathedral here and the
opening of school for priests and event.
ualiy asylums of the various orders. All
this, to put 1t in worldly sense, will
aid in the development of our city and
in the increase of its business.
1t has already been decided to erect
here, next year, convent which will
be used as an educational institution.
This is to be done under the jurisdiction
OF the mother superior at Prairie du
Chen and she is now endevoring to
procure authority from Rome to change
her headquarters to Yankton. This
accomplished che will found here a
mother home-a headquarters for the
sisterhood of the church. The mother
superior occupies the same relation to
the sisterhood of the church that the
bishop does to the priesthood. Her re-
moval to Yankton would therefore make
our city the headquarters for all Catho-
lie interests in Dakota and of these vi
car General Willard's Indian school. al
ready established, is not the least.
1t is to the material interest of the
people of Yanktion to cooperate hearth
ly with Bishop Marty in all his plans,
and on his return from Rome next week
to demonstrate to him that we appreci-
ate the value of his presence as resi-
dent of Yankton.

THE CONSTITUTION,

COmmendatOry Comments well put
by Northern Paper.
Grand Forks Herald.
Whatever opinion may be entertained
respecting the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
constitutional convention in the man
ner and under the circumstances, which
brought forth the Sioux Falls docu-
ment, the candid reader and inquirer
can not do otherwise than praise the
result as an excellent state deliverance.
With the many admirable precedents in
state formations, before them, and led
by men of the calibre of Edgerton and
Campbell, there was not lacking the ma
terlaI to form constitution, which
would answer every purpose of the new
state, but in some respects avoid the
dangerous rocks, which beset the course
OF other ships of state. An analysis of
the paper as published entire in the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, will satisfy most
people who take sufficient interest in
the matter to inform themselves
that it combines many of the applicable
features of the national and more re-
cent and popular state constitutions.
The article regulating the legislative
department, which is by far the most i'm
portant, is almost an exact reproduction
of the new constitution of PENNSYLVANIA

purpose of curing the evils of special
legislation, conference of special privi.

Pennsylvania constitution, and provid

spe cially by acceptance of passes from
railroad companies, which is not in the
parent stem from which the portion OF
this admirable article is an off-shoot

A proposition has been made by the
water work committee to the city coun.
Oil to sink an additional artesian we'll
near the reservoir. The demand for
water has increased so greatly that the
present flow will not be sufficient if a
few more customers are granted the
privilege of tapping the mains. The
present we'll is not properly cased and
from this cause probably one-half its
flow Is lost. The proposition Is to case
the new we'll down to the artesian
basin aud there is no apparent reason
why this will not give full pipe flow.
The method of construction employed
in the Raymond house we'll commends
itself. There the upper flow of water is
out of entirely and all the water secur.
ed comes from the lower basin, which
greatly improves the quality of the pro-
duct of the we'll. We learn in these
matters by actual experience. The
we'll which supplies the city reservoir
was the first one made in this section of
the west. 1t can now be improved upon.

The scheme to divide Dakota, on the

ans, has never received much favor

line Of the river rs 1t would make the
states awkward and irregular in shape
The more recen, plan is To take the
lOlst meridian, as the line. This runs
little west Of Bislnark, and generally
leaves that river To the east. It is
thought that the Democrats would
consent to this division. as The. state
east would probably he Republican,.
When one should come in from the
west eight or ten years later, it would
almost certainly be Democratic, like
the mining and stock regions of Mon
