LETTER FROM JANE R. WALTERS

WORCESTER, MASS, July %, 1883.
Editor woman's Journal:
| see with regret a growing tendency
on the part of many suffrage women to
identify themselves with the Prohibition
party, since that party has declared itself
in favor of woman suffrage, and has
admitted women to full membership and
an equal voice and vote its councils. 1t
is natural and right that women and
men who regard prohibition as the para
mount issue should do this as individu-
ais. but it would be a serious mistake
for 'sutfragists as a body, or for the
suffrage societies as organizations, to
identify themselves with any political
party. A principle is far stronger
when it refuses to be thus identified, or
even to form party of its own.
To illustrate: majority of the men
and women of every state are indifferent
to woman suffrage. They are all in
sympathy with the Republicans or with
Democrats. To become a majority, con-
verts TO woman suffrage must be made
from these. Should we not avoid antag-
onizing their party prejudices: And if
we side with any party, should 1t not be
with the Republicans. in view Of the
is.Nt Niitit tiiStt uc Aoi ti4C
past twenty years seyen-eights of all our
alternatives votes both in congress and in
state legislatures: 1t Is not the worst
possible policy so to vote as to keep in
control of the national government a
party which, two years ago. in the L. s.
senate. was a unit against the sixteenth
amendment? Why antagonize politically
both the Republicans and the Democrats
who Jointly constitute nineteen out of
twenty of our voters. by an exclusive al
lance with the twentieth man who is
working first Of all for the extirpation
of the liquor traffic, and incidentally for
woman suffrage as means TO that end:
The woman suffrage principle is a
growth Like all great and permanent
social forces, IL Is gradual in its evolu-
ton. 1t cannot be forced into the limit
ed space of a fall campaign. or be carried
By party combination. Let suffragisrs
avoid needless irritation. and shun ex-
traneous personal and party compiled
lions. Let them appeal from the tran
STORY present TO the future and TO his
tory.
Consider. too. how irreconciiable are
honest mems convictions of duty. Sam
uel T. Sewall and William LLOYD CARR
son say: Tariff reform IS the issue,
therefore shall vote for Cleveland.

William Dudley Foulke says: s'Civil
service reform has been betrayed and
abandoned by the administration, there
fore | shall vote for Harrison" George
T. Hoar and John D. Long say: Home
industry must be protected. therefore the
Republicans must be restored to power.
Judge Pitman and DR.. Miner say: ''The
prohibition of the liquor traffic is the
most imperative political issue and
must be first settled" Henry B.
Blackwell saws: THE right of
every legal voter to vote is the most i'm
portant of all issues, and no party should
be allowed to hold power by coercion or
fraud at the polls" As matter Of fact,
the representative suffragists will not
and cannot unite on one presidential
ticket Each is entitled to the expr es-
sion OF his individual judgment and con-
science. Each believes woman suffrage
to be the greatest and most important of
all political questions. AS suffragists,
our only basis of agreement is an agree
ment to differ.
The Prohibition platform contains
strong endorsement of the woman suf-
frage principle. Yet the New York
Voice, the recognized national organ,
denies that woman suffrage Is party
issue, bubbles over the plain meaning of
the words in order to break the force Of
the resolution, and emphasizes the invl-
tation given in the platform to all prohi-
bitionists to join the party, irrespective
of their views on woman suffrage or any
other extraneous question. The silence
of the Republican platform, on the other
hand, does not fairly express that party S
attitude towrads woman suffrage. Ac-
cording to the Woman's Journal, an en-
dorsement as strong as that given by the
Prohibitionists, received a tie vote in the
Republican committee on resolutions,
and would probably have been reported
TO the convention, if an all-night contro-
versy on prohibition had not taken up
the time.
Let us give the new parties Of Temper
ance and Labor cordial recognition for
their progressive attitude on woman suf-
frage. But no successful political party
is, or ever has been, based solely upon a
principle. With suffragists, the principle
should be primary and paramount. Par
ties represent sections, classes, and above
all, material interests. A party is a COM
bination of citizens to fill the offices and
administer the government. The pri-
mary object of government is to protect
the lives and property of its citizens, not
to establish ideal political justice. Re-
form, therefore, is by politicians held
secondary and Incidental. With suffrag-
lists, it should be primary and para
mount. No opponent of woman suffrage
should receive the vote of suffragists for
legislator or congressman, whether he be
Republican, Democrat or Prohibitionist

A state exchange contains an adyer-
tisement of local retail dealer who
offers Kansas cheese at ten cents a
pound. The tariff on cheese is four
cents pound. The price with the tariff
is SO low that its production is not
profitable: if the tariff We're removed
and the price correspondingly reduced,
which would surely follow, the produc-
ton of cheese in Kansas would cease.
Fifty-three thousand dollars, which was
the market value of the cheese product of
the state last year, is a comparatively
small amount. to be sure, for the state,
but it represents a considerable sum to
those who would loose it if the produc-
ton should cease.

NO BLAME ATTACHES HERE.

Towns along the Arkansas river to the
east are complaining of a scarcity OF wa
ter in the stream, and blame this portion
of the state for using it all for irrigating
purposes. The water taken out in west
ern Kansas would really make no differ
ence III the volume hundred miles below,
because if allowed to pursue the channel
it would disappear in the qulcksands. The
scarcity is caused by the dry season and a
short supply of snow in the mountains
Garden City Sentinel.
The short supply Of snow in she
mountains of Colorado has something
to do with the volume of water in the
river in that region, no doubt, but if
what enters Kansas in the channel of the
river were permitted to flow on and was
not DETECTED by the irrigating bitches in
the western part of the state thare would
be sufficient volume of water to main
tain continuous flow, even during the
present dry season. AS proof Of this
the present is the first time that there
was no water in the rivers channel be-
tween this city and say Great Bend,
though there have been many seasons
when the snow fall in the mountains and
water supply in that region was as small
as during the past winter and spring.
Your explanation won't do, Mr.. Sentinel.
Just close bitches and test your theory.

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
| think Brother Woods, of the ''con-
science parity" paid you the very highest
kind OF compliment yesterday when he
said of the EAGLE that it was smut
machine" Now, a smut machine is one
that does not make smut, but takes the
smut out of things, and, therefore, valu-
able and Indispensable; and because the
EAGLE has taken the smut out of things
and set them in their right light, Brother
Woods is fernent the EAGLE. We are to
understand, therefore, that the brother is
in favor of anti-smut machines-that is to
say, he wants the smut left in the wheat
and all dished up together. We fear the
brother will find very great trouble in ad-
ministering the doSe-save, perchance, in
homeopathic doses. Yours, ID. V. j.

CleveIand's Plagiarism.

san UItsO OllOn,
Mr.. Clevelands famous declaration
that "a public office is a public trust has
been extensively and favorably cited as
an evidence of his power to say apt and
forcible expressions. The Boston record
is unkind enough to point out that John
c. Calhoun used this Identical expression
in q speech to the senate in 1885. The
truth of the sentiment is not thereby i'm
paired, although Mr.. Cleveland's jump
from the encyclopedia to the congress
ional record is trife confusing. As he
did not originate the phrase, and has
lamentably failed to live up TO its teach
ing. Mr.. Cleveland's fine campaign motto
seems very far-fetched.
