If the Baltimore american will write
TO Hon. JOSIAH II. DRUMMoND, Port
land, Maine, that paper will learn how
many Masons it is supposed there are in
the world, and that there are not
"several millions" of them, though
there are about six hundred thousand in
North America, and more than seventy
thousand in the State Of New York

Especial telegram to the Dlspatch.l
DANvILLE, Va, April 24.-The Roa-
noke and Southern railroad directors
met here to-day to hear propositions
from three construction companies with
regard to building the line. 1t was
finally decided, however, that the option
be given for sixty days to the Virginia
and Carolina Construction Company,
which is composed principally of home
capitalists. In the mean while the rail-
road company will continue work as be-
gun on the road.
The Democratic primary here to-day
was holly contested, and by far the
largest number OF Democratic votes ever
polled in this city was cast. 1t is con-
coded that Captain Graves has received
the nomination for mayor and Colonel
William Rison for clerk. The Others are
close, and it will be midnight perhaps
before the count is completed.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The Courier
Journal reports that it has been year
now since Kansas gave her women munich
pal suffrage, and the experiment does not
seem 10 have been success. On the
contrary it is regarded, even by most Of
the women themselves, as q failure. We
quote;
"Politics has about broken up the
sewing circles, which were formerly
most 6ourishing institutions IN Kansas,
and it ia fast undermining the churches,
as the female candidates run principally
not as Democrats or Republicans, but as
Methodists, or Presbyterians etc.
"The record OF the town OF Argonia
seems to be pretty fairly illustrative OF
the history Of most Kansas towns which
have passed under the domination OF the
women. The mayor has had baby and
abolished billiards and hard cider. At
Oskaloosa, which recently elected q
female town council, it is now proposed
TO make a war OF determination upon
billiards and to pass an ordinance estab-

Wrong doing does not pay. does 1t 2
A dishonest act, q mean act or an I'm.
charitable act is not profitable. 1t is
q profound mystery that men should
choose wrong courses OF life and per-
NIT the love of money or the love Of
pleasure to lead them down to ruin:
Canada Is full of Americans who cOn.
cluded to sacrifice everything for
money. Our prisons are filled with
men who have deemed 1t advisable
to shape their actions by other STAN
gards than that of right. Along the
pathway Of HE iie millions of wreck
ed characters and hlighted lives that
are the product Of the deliberate
choice to do wrong. Does 1t pay? A
man will live long life time and
never be tempted over the steep preci-
pice, though there Is an ocean Of de-
lightful bloom or tons Of gold in the
deep abyss helow: Whys He knows
that it is certain death to go over that
precipice. But death and ruin are
no more certain there than they are
at the end of dishonest or dissipated
life. In the last few days the an
nouncement has been maize that the
Treasurer ofs Southern State Is
defauiter to the amount ~ fOuG huns
dred thousand dollars. In connection
with the report the significant state
ment is made that IL on the day be-
fore the discovery of the defalcation
anybody had doubted the integrity
and honssty OF this man. the eAtiFe
state would have felt insulted. What
q magnificent reputation the man
bore. VIII four hundred thousand
dollars compensate for the loss Of that
good name? Verify not. No man
who reads these lines will for
moment doubt that such reputation
is far more precious fortune than
all the money In the world would be;
and yet while men believe this and
know It, the dreadful panorama OF
dishonesty and wicksdness Is con-
stantiy passing before US. The man
who does right every time, regardless
Of consequences, will be the happier
and the richer man I'M the long run.
