DETROIT, November 20.-A rumor is in circula-

there is a conspiracy on foot to murder him, be-

is said meeting was held in New YORK recently
at which Davitt was denounced, and desperate
measures threatened Inquiry has been made OF

Woman Suffrage in Washington Territory.
Ctbipa on T>rib,,pa

The fayor1te argument of the woman
sufragists Is that women, if voters, would
throw the Thole weight Of their political
influence into the prohibition scale.
Washington territory conferred the vot-
ing pewer on all women on the same
terms as to age, etc., as men few years
ago. The territory contains something
over 100000 inhabitants, and the female
voters exceed 10000. Well, Washington
territory has just passed through d hot
and acrimonious election on the prohibit
ton of the trade in Intoxicating drink
by the vote of the several towns-by local
option, as it is called-in place of the
present license system. The result was
divided, the largest towns voting against
prohibition. Women are electors in that
territory, and they were divided about as
the men. Two women stumped against
prohibition; others for it. They voted
in general as their husbands and fathers.
Business considerations led merchants,
bankers, and other business men 20 vote
against prohibition, and influenced public
journals to oppose it.
The Walla Walla Daily Journal, which
published 4he public discussions of both
sides, was boycotted for it by the liquor
traders. The lower and lawless element,
male and female, voted against-the mid
die element, male and female, voted for
prohibition. 1t failed in that town. In
those portions of the state where a ma
jority of the men opposed prohibition it
failed because majority of the women
also voted against it; while in the villages
and rural districts, where a majority of
the men were habitually teetotalers, pro-
hlbltlOn carrled-the women voting the
same way as the men.
The purifying influence of the women
proved to be thing of the Imagination,
as they were Influenced by the same mo-
tiyes as the men in casting their votes.
Women are not angels-they are human
beings.
