Railroads Troubled by Sparks.

Washington Speeial:-The special force
of clerks at work on the adjustment OF
the Winona & st. Peter land case has
reached grand total. They find that road
has 7O1, O94 acres to which it is not en-
titled under the new system Of adjusting
grants. The prospect is good for lively
fight in congress this winter on all the
land grants. The forthcoming report
Of Land Commissioner Sparks will set
the hall rolling. The overhauling that has
been going on in the railroad division has
afforded great deal OF information which
the commissioner has put in his report,and
he states things in the plainest language
imaginable. Some railroad people viii be
tempted to institute suits for libel when
they read Gen. Sparks account of their
transactions The reooru is exceedingly
long, quite startling and a good support is
predicted for the reforms he urges. The
president and Secretary Lamar are pledg-
ed to reinforce the commissioner as far
as their powers extend.

svhat1 the American woman wants.

| J
Az tho annual meeting 81 the American
Woman Suffrage Association, held at Min
neapols, Mimi, H. B. Blackwell, from the
business committee, presented q series of
resolutions, which were discussed, slightly
altered and adopted in the following form
The American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton, at it's seventeenth annual meeting
in this beautiful city OF the new
Northwest, reafirms the American
principal OF free representative govern
ment, and demand it's application to wom-
an. Governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed, I"
and women are governed; taxation with
out representa- on is tyranny" and women
are taxed; "all political powers inheres in
the people, = and one-half of the people are
women.
Resolved, That women, as the sisters,
wives and mothers of men. have special
rights to protect and special wrongs to
remedy; that their votes will represent in
special sense the interest of the home; that
the equal cooperation of the sexes is essen
ciety, a Christian church and republican
state.
And, whereas, under the federal constitu-
ton ''all persons born or naturalized in
the United States are citizens thereof and
of the states in which they reside" and by
the decision of the United States courts
women are citizens and may be made
voters by appropriate state legislation,"
therefore resolved,
First the officers Of this society
mem orialize congress at it's next session in
behalf OF a statute guaranteeing women
suffrage in the territories; also of consti-
tutiona] amendment prohibiting political
distinctions on account of sex.
SecOnd-Ihat while we do not under-
value any form OF agitation, state or
national, we hold that practical wom-
en- suffrage can at present be best
promoted by urg ing legislative as well as
constitutional changes, and by appealing
to state as well as national authority;
therefore we urge the esta blishment of act
i've state societies in every state, unite
their working centers in the state capitals
and their corresponding committees in
every representative district.
Third-That in every state at each ses-
sion OF it's legislature petitions should be
presented by it's own citizens asking for
woman suffrage by statute in all elections,
and for all officers not expressly limited by
the word male in the state constitution;
also for a constitutional amendment
striking out the word "male"
Fourth-That school suffrage having
been secured for women, by statute, in
twelve states, our next demand should be
for full municipal SUFFRAGE by statute.
Resolved, That our special thanks are
due to Maj. j. A. Picker and the majority
Of both houses OF the Dakota legislature,
who extended suffrage last spring to the
women OF that territory and we trust that
the iberty-loUng men OF Dakota will Sc
cure the removal of the governor who by
his veto remanded $4,000 women to con-
tinued acknowledgements.

Washington Special. Bishop Ireland said
while here that he should return Nov. II,

Ireland $500, 900, half Of which was re-
ceived through one bequest, and the rest
through voluntary subscriptions. One
gentleman from New York subscribed So
900, and not dollar has been begged. The
work OF solicitation has not yet begun, but

probably be begun on it within a
few weeks and will be continued during the
winter. The plans uEder consideration
contemplate the expenditure Of $3.50, 600

immense structure the university edifce
will be when it is completed. The directors
will divise ways and means for collecting OF

The Great Funeral of Cardinal Mcc1osky.

New York Special Five thousand people
were gathered within the walls ofthe cathe-
dral. While the throng was waiting the
opening OF the solemn requiem services, the
Papal Zouayes in gold lace and
bright uniforms marched down the
center aisle and took up position
about the catafalque. moment later the
doors OF the sacristy were flung open, and a
long procession Of white robes and acolytes
filed down the steps to the seats directlyin
front OF the high altar. There was q mo-
ment OF hushed expectancy as Father Tam
mel waved his hands, and then the stiffness
was broken by priests as they chanted the
office OF the dead. The 2GG voices of the
priests and boys, mellowed by the distance,
sounded sweetly to the ear Of the waiting
congregation. The boys chanted one line 81
the psalm and the priests the second. Then
came the singing OF Psalm "a. 1t was not,
however until the priests came to the mis-
erere that the full richness and beauty OF
the well trained voices OF the chancel choir
were brought out. In all probab ilitynoth-
ing like the singing of these priests and boys
has ever been heard in the city. First came
the singing OF the Latin lines by the boy
tenors, to which responded the harmonized
voices of the priests The notes ofthe chant
flowed upward among The great arches OF
the cathedral and being reflected by the
pillars, were thrown backward and forward
until they died away in the distance.
Some more psalms were then sung by the
choirs in unison, after which came the
chanting OF the Benedictines. The great
organ pealed forth the
SOLEMN, STATELY VOLUNTARY
preceding the mass, and now two acolytes
bearing lighted candles in their hands, fol-
lowed by another procession ofpriests, came
slowly out from the sacrsty and bowed
before the high altar. Then came the bish-
ops in their somber-hued garments, and
finally the mopsiegnors and archbishops.
When all was ready the choir chanted the
requiem mass. The choir numbered over
one hundred voices. Archbishop Corrigan
was the celebrant OF the pontifcal mass.
The sermon was preached by Archbishop
; Gibbons OF Baltimore after the mass The
text OF the sermon was Eccs. IS. At the
conclusion OF the sermon, preparations
were made for the concluding rites by the
bestowal OF the Episcopal absolution.
, After the words OF ahsolution had been ut
/ tered, the coffin was removed from the
catafalque by the attendants and gently
carried to it's last resting place in the
! crypt under the high altar, where it was
placed beside the body OF Arch bishop
Hughes.
On the casket was a latin inscription,
! translated thus: "John with the title OF
Holy Mary Supra Minerva, priest OF the
/ Holy Roman church, Cardinal McCloskey
archbishop of New York. Lived seventy
five years Died on the 10th day OF Octo-
! Der, 1885"

his attention to these Offices before making
any considerable change elsewhere. The
postmaster general has decided that guar
antee associations cannot go on bonds of
postmasters. The reason given for this de-
cision is that it is frequently necessary for
the sureties Of a postmaster to take charge
OF the office, and as guarantee associations
have no agents in all places, they could not
in all cases take charge OF the Office when
necessary.

Senator Edmunds Of Vermont, on a

Senator Edmunds Of Vermont, on a
recent social occasion at Montpelier,
responded to the toast, "The United
States Senate and Our Senator's" He
defended the organization of the SEN
ate. "It is important, hesaid, s'that
ali citizens should remember that the
foundation Of the freedom and unity
OF this republic is in the organization
OF the United States senate, for there,
the membership depends on the entire
ty OF the several states, and this is
the same whatever be the length OF the
states boundary. Whether it be built
up by one class of men, or by ano ther,
the senate is always the representation
of individual entities. If it had been
otherwise, probably this republic
could not have endured till now. On
many an occasion in the history Of
our government, if the power Of the
senate to control or resist the power
ofthe lower house could not have been
used as it has been, the dismemb er-
ment Of the Union would surely have
resulted. ] am aware that some men
who are prominent in national affairs
have said otherwise, and have insisted
that the senate should be organized
on the basis OF population. But that
is a great mistake, and I feel that the
sober sense OF the people will never
consent to a change Of this kind. He
said there actually at the present
time, is a movement on foot in Eng
land to remodel the house OF lords ON
the plan Of the senate Of the United
States. Thus the example Of our
country has taught the English
that the safest government for prop
erty, the safest for religion, the safest
for personal liberty, the best in every
way, is one modelled on the govern
nlent Of the United States.

First, of grasping selfshness, which ended

period which was one OF Indifference; and
the last is one Of strong desire for closer
