A CREDIBLE WITNESS

Gail Hamilton is a woman of grea
good sense and ability. She is stron.
In the faculty of judgment. Sounc
judgment showing itself will distin
guish any woman as a prominent in
dividual among human kind. TIL,
reason is that few people, male or fe
male, are favored by nature or educa
ton to any alarming extent with thil
quality more precious than the dia
monds Of all Africa. Especially is il
excruciatingly rare among women
We know Of only about eight of the
favored ones. For the sake of the
peace and good order of society the
BAzeo hopes that every woman who
reads this will believe herself to be
one of the eight referred to. We take
it that Gail Hamilton berg woman
and having sound judgment is quail
fed to speak about the affairs of her
sex as one whose words will carry
weight of authority; and this is pro.
1ogue to her crisply written decision
against female suffrage, being the de-
liberate and thoughtful conclusion
from her study of woman's experience
with the ballot:
Woman suffrage is an artificial
cause, and is just as hard to keep up
as slavery was to put down. Con-
vention, discussion, legislation, fail
to arouse any enthusiasm for woman's
rights, because there is no organized.
insistent, radical woman's wrongs. In
dividual women suffer, and concrete
laws are unjust to women as class. |
AS men increase in refinement and
virtue, women share in the improve
ment-inevitably because man is COM
pounded of men and women. What
ever women suffer, they suffer from
an imperfection of human society, not
from any combined Intentional oppres-
sion by the stronger sex. Women
suffrage languishes,, not because men
viii not grant it, but because women
do not wish it. Women cannot be
made to wish it, because they do not
suffer from a lack of it. Whenever
they want it they will have it. There
is no more danger that they will nave
it without wanting it, than they will
want it without having it.

THE RAGING MISSISSIPPI.
Very High Water in the River Near
Its Mouth.

VIcKsBURG, April 26.-News reached
here to-day that the leyee had been broken
Sunday night somewhere in Coahama
county. The report created much uneasi-
ness. AT 4 p. IN. to-day the agent
telegraphed from BolO stating that there
had been break in the mouth of Harris
bayou and another some miles below, but
that the damage had been repaired. A
special from Greenville, Miss, says: The
leyee on the Mississippi side is reported
broken about five miles south of Friars
point This morning the gap was fifty feet
wide and five feet deep and water was pour
ing through with tremendous force. A
telephone message was also received from
Suniiower landing that the levee had been
cut during Sunday night at Harrison bayou.
This will inundate all of the Sunfiower
country and small portion OF Washington
county. The utmost vigilance is being
exercised by the levee authorities of this
district. 4 special from Helena, Ark,
says: The river rose fifteen inches fir ON l
o'clock yesterday to o'clock to-day, making
the water one inch higher than ever before
known. AT p. m. the water was four
inches above the high-water mark of 1882.
and rising half an inch an hour. Seven miles
south Of Helena the water only lacked one
inch Of running over the levee at noon to-
day. The levees are getting soft in many
places and large crevaSseS. are expected to
open at any moment. The prediction is
made that the water will continue to rise
until the 30th inst, and very likely until
the I'd Of May.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 26.-At 4
o'clock this morning, a fatal wreck occurred
on the Missouri Pacific road, on the Kansas
side Of the Kaw river, at Wyandotte
bluffs, where heavily-loaded freight train
plunged headlOng into the Kansas river,
carrying with il cars, and burying brake
man and fireman beneath the ruins where
they were smothered and scalded
to death. The engineer jumped and
barely saved himself. The accident
Was caused by the spreading of the
rails on the narrow ledge between the bluffs
and the river, where the Missouri Pacific
tracks run at this point. On examination
1t was found that the spikes had been pulled
and the rails merely left lying in their
places, without fasteningS whatever, to de-
ceive the engineers. When the heavy en-
CINE struck the loose rails they parted like
reeds, and the engine and train jumped
into the river. The river being low, the
bottom at this point was but ooZy bed of
mud, with little or no water over it,
Shortly after the accident three men were
seen making their way
RAPIDLY UP THE TRACK
in the direction of Atchis0n. The watch
man and deputies at Pomeroy commanded
them to halt, and fired five shots at the
fugitives. The men started for the woods
and made good their escape. The killed
are:
WILLIAM CARLISLE, aged 80, fireman,
leaves family at Atchison.
JOHN HORN, brakeman, aged 35, leaves a
wife and family.
A man named Converse, while looking at
the wreck, fell from the top of the bluff
and is dying. Engineer Fowler says he
Stacked the speed ON approaching the bend,
keeping a sharp lookout. AS the train
passed under the bridge it was going about
six miles per hour. lie saw several men
in group, apparently watching for some
thing to happen. The engineer reached for
a rifle that he carried, and Just then the
train struck the looSened rails. He reversed
his engine and jumped Of, landing at the
waters edge. The fireman was caught under
the engine and was killed. His body was
recovered at 6 o'clock. The brakeman, who
was on the forward car, was carried down
and also killed. The wrecking train is busy
clearing the track. The railroad authorities
have offered s., 500 reward for the appre-
hension Of the seoundrels who caused the
wreck.

Death at BOSTON OF Mrs. Wendell
Phillips.

BosToS, Mass, April 26.-Mrs. Wendell
Phillips died at her home on Common
street Saturday evening. Mrs. Phillips has
been an invalid ever since her marriage.
and was not ever Of strong health pre-
vious to that. Her maiden name was Anna
Green, she being the daughter
of Benjamin Green of Boston. Soon after
the death of her parents. she was received
as daughter into the family of her uncle
and aunt Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Chapman,
then living in Chauncery Place, near Sum-
mer street. The young girl joined herself
TO the anti-slavery cause with the whole of
that family in the year 1884. She was en-
gagged to Wendell Phillips two years after.
The married life of Wendell Phillips and
his wife was a most congeniaI one,
he caring for her with steadfast devotion
and she being source of strength to him.
1t is said that Mr.. Phillips conversion to
the abolition faith was largely due to the
influence of his wife. who was believer i'm
the despised doctrine of Garrison before
| her marriage. OF late years Mrs. Phillips
has left her house but twice in the spring
when going to the country and in the fall
when returning home.
