Now THAT Ohio has gone republican, it is
more necessary than before that Virginia
should go democratic, as, for the good of the
whole country, bloodyshirt and sectional
victory in the North should be offset by one
in the South for the stars and stripes and
the entire nation. If the people of Ohio
desire continuation of the war feeling and
of sectional animosities, as recommended by
that implacable South hater Mr.. Sherman,
and as shown by their votes yesterday, it is
their privilege to do so, and one which none
will dispute. But Virginia should be sure
to seize the opportunity afforded her to
show the whole country that she agrees
with General Grant, that the time has come
for peace and reconciliation between the
estranged sections, that with her the war is
over in fact as in name, and that her people
are part and parcel of the great national
aud unsectional party of the country.

THAT THE Virginia negro, with all bis
devotion to General Malone, has little
reason to be grateful to the General for the
legal and civil rights accorded him by his
white neighbors, is proved by the fact that
the Generals mouthpece in Richmond, SO
late as yesterday, said: cit is perfectly
incredible to any Southern white man, or
any other white man, that negro could be
insoient and not be assaulted on the spot"
According 10 the General, white men can
be insolent, but ifa colored man, when pro-
voked, should manifest any symptom of in
science to his white fellow citizen, he should
be assaulted on the spot. And yet it is
from the negroes that the General expects
to obtain nearly tho whole of his voting
strength; and, with all the talk to the con-
trary, it is more than probable he will, next
month, as in the past, receive their solid
vote. Mr. Riddleberger says, "buy the
negro preacher, and you get his whole con.
gregation," and, according to dispatches
from Richnond to Northern newspapers,
General Malone has adopted his "me too's"

ANOTHER nEREAT.


 There is no such word as fail in the bright lexicon of the advocates of woman suffrage in Massachusetts. For the last nineteen years, with the exception of 1874 and 1875, the question of giving woman the suffrage has been before the Massachusetts legislature in some form or other, and has always been defeated, except that women have been given the privilege of voting in school affairs A bill to extend to women the right of municipal suffrage has just been rejected by by vote of sixty one to one hundred and thirty, with seven pairs, divided as follows: Yeas, fifty-fve Republicans, twelve Demo crats, one Independent and one Peoples party; nays, ninety-six Republicans, thirty seven Democrats, one Independent and two Peoples party. The vote for the bill was approximately thirty three per cent. of the total vote, while in 1884 it was twenty-eight per cent. and in 1883 thirty-five per cent.
 One of the interesting features of the con- test which has thus resulted is that rsmon- strance against the further extension of woman suffrage was sent to the legislature bearing the signatures of such men Presi dent Eliot and eleven professors of Harvard university, Bishop Paddock, the Rev. Henry M. Dexter, of the Congregationalist, and half hundred other clergy men, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, John Boyle O'Reilly, William Endicott, jr., O. B. Frothingham, Henry Cabot Lodge and e1- Governor Alexander H. Rice. It is to be ad- ded also that in Massachusetts, as in every other State where the same object has come up for action, some of the most earnest oppo- nents were found among the sex for whom the change was asked while vast number, if not a majority, of women who would be affected by it, helped on the opposition by their absolute indifference to the whole ques- tion.
 It is not probable. judging from their rec ord, that the advocates. of this change in will probably "cone up smiling" at the next session of the legislature. But they will not get what they want until the wo- men of Massachusetts show more plainly that they want to vote. Great things were promised by those who helped get the bill through allowing women to vote in school matters, but those for whose benefit the bill was passed have shown little desire to avail themselves of their privilege. If the women of Massachusetts cannot be persuaded to vote at school elections, which directly concern the interests of their children, it does not seem probable that they would display any great eagerness to vote for municipal officers. The legislators of Massachusetts are cer- tainly justified in taking this view of the case. When the women of Massachusetts really want to vote we believe they will be allowed to.

 Consul Shaw, at Manchester, England, gives some exceedingly interesting facts re- garding farming in England. The agricul- tu1ists of England have suffered for years from bad harvests, but Mr. Shaw shows how it is that even with the best of weather the British farmer cannot compete with his brother of the United States. To go no fur ther, he finds that, cheap labor notwithstand ing, the expense of putting in and harvesting crops in England is more than double that of the same labor upon the larger farms in the United States, and he instances reaper and binder in use here, which, with two men, does the work of a reaping machine, six men, two women and three boys in England. This is wholly aside from rent and taxes.
 A pension which has regularly been paid fer 502 years has just come to an end in Switzerland, and the cantonal government of Soleure, the paymasters, so much regret it's extinction that they are advertising for an heir. In 1882 Count Rudolph of Kibeurg marched to the assault of the town of Soleure. against which his ancestors had long entertained reasonable designs. But one Hans Roth, peasant living in a neigh boring village, was on the alert and carried to thetownspeople intelligence of what was brew ing, and Soleure was saved. For this very substantial service Hans was rewarded with an annuity to himself and his heirs forever. The last inheritor has lately died, and all the Roths in Switzerland are now looking up their pedigrees.

A RIDE FOR LIFE.
An Escape From the Battieford HI
 dians-A Two Days Pursuit.

dfans-A Two Days, Pursuit.
 From the Winnipeg Free Pressl
 The escape of George E. Applegrath from the Battleford Indians reads like page out of a border romance. Applegrath was farm instructor to Red Pheasant's band. On the night of Monday, March 30, he was making up his returns with the intention of going to Battleford next day. The Indians of his re- serve had professed great friendliness for the whites. Like all Indians, they said that since trouble had risen they might fight, but they would fight on the side of the whites. Anpleprath went to bed about midnight. At three o'clock in the morning he heard a tap ping at the door. Getting up he went to see what was the matter, when an Indian quick ly strode in and closed the door behind hlm. Almost while he spoke the door burst open and eighteen redskins rushed in. Apple grath thought his time had come, but lucki- ly this was not the war party They were eighteen in number-six bucks and twelve soaaws-and the friendly Indians whispered that their mission was to hold him until the warriors arrived. Applegrath reused his twelve years old, and Indian Teacher Gun ninpham, and told them to dress. He him self slipped out behind and hitched up his team, while the friendly Indians engaged the attention of the visitors. Like true woman, the only article of apparel which Mrs. Applegrath took with her as the team drove off, besides the clothes she wore, was her wedding dress.
 About half-past three in the morning the nartv of four set out on their race for life to Swift Current, 200 miles distant They had oet about five miles away when the whif1e- tree broke. Applegrath had to walk two miles back to get rail to make a new one of. Then they flew on again, plunging and galloping through snow three feet deep, with the moonlight streaming overhead.
 At dawn they saw six Indians in the dis tance. They had now struck the trail, which they left again to strike into the coulees and elude their pursuers They drove all day
