What the American Woman Wants.

AT the annual meeting OF the American
Woman Suffe:ase Association, held Mt Min
neapotis, Mimi, III. j. Blackwell, from the
business committee, presented II series oil
resolutions, which were discussed. slightly
altered and adopted in the following form;
The American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton, . its seventeenth annual meeting
in this beautiful city OF the new
Northwest, reaiiirms the American
principal of free representative govern
ment, and demand its application to wom-
an. Governments derive their Just
powers from the consent OF the governed
and women are governed; taxation with
out representation is tyranny, and ONE
are taxed; call political powers inheres in
the people" n one-half OF the people are
women.
Resolved, That women, as the sisters.
wives and mothers OF men, nave special
rights to protect and special wrongs to
remedy; that their votes will represent in a
special sense the interest of the home; that
the equal cooperation OF the sexes is essen
tial alike to n happy home, a refine so
ciety, a Christian church and a republican
state.
And, whereas, under the federal constitu-
lion "all persons horn or naturalized in
the United States are citizens thereof and
of the states in which they reside and by
nc deCiSlOu vi lIe OIllleu SldleS courts
"women are citizens and may be made
voters by appropriate state legislation"
therefore resolved.
First-That the officers OF this society
mcmorialize congress ut it's next session in
behalf OF Il statute guaranteeing women
suffrage in the territories; also of a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting political
distinctions on account Of sex.
Second-That 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 urging legislative as well as
constitutional changes, and by appealing
to state as well as national authority;
therefore we urge the establishment OF act
i've state societies in every state, unite
their working ccpters in the state capitals
and their corresponding committees in
every representative district.
lhlrd-Ihat in every state Mt each scs-
sion OF its legislature petitions should be
presented by its own citizens asking for
woman suffrage by statute in all elections,
and Tor all officers not expressly limited by
the word male in the state constitution;
also Tor a constitutional amendment
striking out the word male"
~Fourth-That school suffrage having
been secured for women, by statute, in
twelve states, our next de mnnd should be
Tor full municipal SUFFRAGE by statute.
Resolved, That our special thanks are
due to Maj. j. A. Ficklcr and the majority
OF Doth houses OF the Dakota legislature,
oeXtcndcd suffrage last spring to the
women OF that territory, and we trust that
the hbcrty-loving men OF Dakota will Sc
cure the remova of the governor who by
his veto remandcd $4,000 women to con-
nnued Acknowledgement.

A peculiar feature OF the smallpox
epidemic in Montreal is that the
deaths are largely confnedto children
and infants. Only about eight per
cent. ofthe dead thus far are adults.
During the month OF September 697
deaths from smallpox occurred in
the city. OF these 600 were children
under ten years OF age. The French
Canadians viii not permit their chill
dren to be vaccinated and the health
authorities cannot get at them.

A terribly quick-spreading fire broke out
in the one-story-and-a-half brick cottage
at No. sc Vernon Park place, Chicago,
recently, owned and occupied by w. S. Bates,
IN which Tour persons were burned to death.
Ihe family consisted OF five persons and a
servant girl, and all but two met n most
horrible death.
The fire marshal, Campion, found Mr..
Bates in the alley ut the side OF the house
suffering from several bruises, but able to
tell the story OF the catastrophe. wringing
his hands in agony over the loss OF his fami.
ly and suffering keenly over his own severe
hurts. He said that the servant girl start
ed a fire in the kitchen and went out
doors a moment, leaving the door open.
She returned in q minute or two and found
the kitchen in a blaze. TIL girl an away

to extinguish the flames. When the fire.

charred bodies OF the entire family, with the
exception OF Mr.. Bates: They were:
Mrs. Mary f. Bates, aged thirty.fve;
John Bates, aged five; Edward Bates, an
infant; Mrs. Dreylson, aged seventy, mother
OF Mrs. Bates.

mains OF her babe were lying close by. The
remains OF Mrs. Dreylson, the mother OF

Railroads Troubled by Sparks.

Washington special:-The special force
Of clerks at work on the adjustment OF
the Winona g. ST. Peter land case has
reached n grand total. They find that road
has 701,Q94 acres to which it is not en-
titled under the new system OF adjusting
grants. The prospect is good for a lively
fight in congress- this winter or all the
land grants. The Forthcoming report
OF Land COMMISSIONS Sparks will set
the hall rolling. The %overhauling that has
been going on in the railroad division has
afforded n great deal OF information which
the commissioner has put in his report, and
he states things in tho plainest language
imaginable. Some railroad people will be
tempted to institute suits for libel when
they read Gen. Sparks account OF their
transactions. The report is exceedingly
long, quite startling and a good support is
predicted for the reforms he urges. The
president and Secretary Lamar nre pledr.
ed to reinforce the commissioner as Jar
as their powers extend.

priests and boys, nellowcd blythe distance,

the singing Of the Latin lines by the boy

the Northwest. Recently Dies Moiues officers

notice ofthc descent of the officers was given
the gnngnnd they safely hid in the r~ecesses
OF the woods. The sheriff states that OF the
many hundred stolen horses traced to this
forest not one has ever been recovered, en-
cept when II raid was made by II militia

horses weIc recovered unidentified by their
owners. This unsavory community vir-

unwillingly permit the inroads upon
their produce and stock, knowing that
forcible remunstrance means the destruc-

The principal raids for horses are made by
the gang early in the fall, and the animals
are kept during the winter in underground
stables, and in the spring taken IN mis-
matched pairs to the nearest market and
sold. Eight horses stolen in Cerro Gordo
lived to be now in the possession of these
knights OF the forest, and there is consider
able talk of appealing to the governor for
military and to secure their recovery and
arrest OF the ~frecbooters, as the civil au-
thorities are powerlcss and at the mercy
OF the gang when once deep in the woods,
and consequently timid about vcnturing
there.
