FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN IOWA.

The members of the Iowa Legislature
are having a monkey-and-paro time OF
it over the proposition to place the ballot
in the hands of the gentler sex
A telegram from Des Moines states
that the Senate has grappled with
the question, and by vote ol
q to II, ordered the suffrage bill en-
crossed. This measure is in the form OF
a joint resolution to amend the consti-
tuition by striking out the word "male. -
Ii it passes both houses OF this Legis-
lature, it will be referred to the next, and
ii approved by that body, it will be sub
mitted to the people for their approval OF
rejection.
For ten years or more this question has
been before the Legislature. -Four years
ago it passed both houses, but after run,
ming the gauntlet OF the Senate two years
ago, it run against a narrow majority
snag in the House and was defeated
Now the suffragists are hard at it again
and claim they will be able to pull
through the House this time, sure.

THE PARK CITY EXCITEMENT.

The reported discovery near Park City
of quartz rich in gold will doubtless give
an unprecedented impetus to the work OF
prospecting in the hills adjacent to that
great camp. OF course, the DEMOCRAT
knows no more about this alleged dis
covery than all its readers will know after
perlsing the special report which appears
Oh the local page OF this issue. One
thing is certain, however, the DEMOCRATS s
correspondent is careful to transmit for
publication only that which he has good
reason to believe is true, and this fact
leads to the belief that some unusually
rich gold find has really been made, over
which the Park miners are very much
excited.
For long time past, it has been the
belief OF miners who have tramped oyer
these hills in search OF the ores OF precious
metals, that some day veins OF gold
quartz would be uncovered to add to the
already magnificent silver output OF that
section. AS our correspondent points
out, gold has been panned out of the
stream beds at the base OF these hills,
and that is next to conclusive evidence
that veins OF gold quartz exist in that
locality. We trust the report may be
| true in all that relates to the "bigness'
OF the find, and hope, further, that more
discoveries OF like nature will shortly
be reported from this section.

mayhap Major. 1t matters little what

that it is difficult to remember the names

An Important Conference.

NEW YORK, Oct 8-Railroad circles
and Wall Street were excited to-day over
rumors of the merging of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford, the Boston G. AL.
bany and the New York & New England
railroads into one system. The admis-
sion of President Waterhouse of
the first named road that he ex.
pected to receive proposal to
that effect at conference to be held to-
day seemed to confirm the rumors. The
conference began at noon, at the Grand

President Clarke. 1t was said TO be
an order obtained by Cyrus w.
Field IRON the supreme court, directing
him to account for the funds OF

would not talk about the matter
When the conference ended President
