Woman suffrnre.

Parker Pilsbury lectured to 9 large au-
dience in Mechanic Library Room last eve
ming. The lecturer commenced by observing
that when the ever memorable words, Gan
men are created equal" were written men
only were meant, and only white men at that.
Black people were not included. Our Dscla-
ration of Independence should have said "alI
white men are created equal" Chemically or
scientifically, white is the blending Of all
eolors. and black is the negative or absence
of all color.
Before the rebellion the Federal Constitu-
tion was slways interpreted in accordance with
the Declaration. But the war secured all
color out of the Declaration Of Independence
and the Federal Constitution. Only men NAV
vote so only males are born equal. Under the
Declaration men only share equally under the
Consultation. Women pay taxes to make and
support government and pay penalties il thew
break the laws. So do men. Death by tha
halter is one OF the penalties OF certain crimes
and the deleotable hangmsn must be q man.
Men have many more occupations than women,
and are paid ten times more wages for wbas
they do than women who could do the samo
work as we'll. Women are employed as school
teachers on the principle Of chespness. Mules
and donkeys at the West are employed for the
same reason in place of horses. Mules and
donkeys do not paw taxes. Women do, but
neither women nor donkeys can vote. In de-
batting clubs the question Is discussed whether
the right of voting shall be given to woman.
How many mules Can give the right OF suf-
frage. A clerk standing six feet in his shoes
aud weighing two hundred pounds IL nos
thought strange sight behind the counter
selling pins, tape and laces, TO women both
young and old but no one seems to think he
Is unsexed. Not only in Europe but In New
York can be seen, poor, haggsrd women,
young aud old haraessed to osrIs with dogs,
and sometimes carrying garbage Yet no one
thinks that they are uDsexed. Yet women ara
crushed down and denied sll the right that
the Creator gave them. In New Hsmps
it was hundred years before women received
education; not until 1908 Portsmouth mads
any movement for the education OF girls,
Dartmouth College educated the Indians bat
shut its doors tightly to all women. We have
many laws governing women as though they
we're no part of the people, bat If women are
not the people, what are they?
A part of the lecture was historical reg ard
ing the condition of women In the past and
telling how the church and priests
heve kept them down. The final thought was
that Gods justice would triumph and woman
would rejoice in her rights. II any woman
does not want the right to suffrage it is her
duty to want 1t. Let men beware how they
keep woman under any longer.

Only One Dollar from New Work &c
Chicago.
One of the immediate results OF the break
ing up Of the trunk line pools last Friday, be-
sides cutting rates at Chicago upon eAst-bound
freights, was sweeping reduction in western
bound emigrant passenger rates announced by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company SatuE-
day. Rates between the eastern seaboard
ports, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago,
we're reduced from $13 to 81. Similar rates
were adopted for st. Louis and Cincinnati.
Formerly rates to st. Louis were $16 s. and
Cincinnati $11 So By this action the fare to
San Francisco will be $38, formerly S65 and
to Kansas City $8, formerly 1925. Assistant
General Passenger Agent Boyd explained thas
the reduction was necessary on account of tho
course pursued by companies that had broken
the emigrsnt agreement formed In the old
pool. Some of the steamship companies hAvo
also reduced the rates of steersge passage
from Liverpool to New York being fixed At IS.
from Antwerp $10 and from Bremen and
Hamburg $14. The American line maintains
its rate of S13 from Liverpool to this city.

PrTTsFIELD, JAN 19.-The first of the liquor
cases instigated by Benz Glow, well known
prohibitionist, was before Judge Tucker in the
| district court this afternoon. The complaint
was against Frank Cassidy for keeping public
bar contrary to the condition of the license
| law. Judge Tucker decided that the COM
| plaint as drawn was so defective that the
| merits of the case could not be considered.
Glow then had new complaint made out at
once and says he shall keep on making COM
plants and presenting cases to the court until
he gets decision whether or not public bars
are to be tolerated. Ii bars are not lawfal he
| will prosecute every liquor seller in town and
| ii all the complaints are dismissed he will sur
render. He intends to test every prohibitoey
feature of the license law.

Honey Dew.

The excessive production of honey
dew the last season became q subject
of interesting investigation and study,
among bee-keepers especially. The
dripping sweetness has soared upon the
bee-keepers. and now with great una
nimity they denounce the honey dew as
the cause of the unexampled and ruin
Gus losses of bees during the past win
ter. One bee-keeper loses fifty-one out
of fifty-three colonies, and the two left
are miserably weak. Others have Loss
ninety-five per cent. Perhaps the ex-
cessiye cold weather may have helped
to produce these losses by destroying
all the more readily the bees greatly
weakened by disease caused by the
unwholesome food. 1t may be a serious
question with consumers of honey if
That which kills the bees is not un-
healthful for them. and thus produce a
well-deserved prejudice in their minds
against honey gathered from t! o excre-
ments of plant lice. But how it can be
helped is . question which now agitstes
the minds of the spiarists.-M Z.
