REJECTED PLANKS.

In Miss Anthony's open letter to the Chicago
convention we find the following
In 1884, 500, 900 women under the official in
dorsement of the w. G. T. U. asked the Republi-
can national convention, again assembled in
Chicago, for temperance plank in their platform,
and their memorial was treated with scorn and
contempt, some member of the committee actually
splitting upon it in their chamber of consultation.
This memorial may now be seen on q shelf of the
historical library, carefully bound in all its dis
graceful DETACHMENT. The 10 900 postals may al
so be seen in the library, where they were pre-
served by the fidelity and patriotism of the libra
rian, from whom these facts were obtained
And again, notwithstanding all the promises
made by the Republican party in the past to the
leaders of the woman's cause, little or nothing
was accomplished at the late convention.
We quote from Justitia:
Miss Huling presented the memorial of the Cook
County Woman Suffrage society, and the ladies
withdrew all of the gentlemen rising to their feet
and remaining standing during their passage to
the rear of the room. We are assured that the
vote upon 1t in the committee was tie, and the

Bid me not lean on "broken reeds"
Talk not to me of "narrow creeds,"

Nor feel His presence where stand
Upon life's narrow, lessening strand.
If could see His face as when
lie healed and ptied suffering men,
If might touch His garments HEM"
If could walk by Galilee,
Or kneel in lone Gcthsemane,
He might seem nearer unto me.
But slowly gfapng'd;7JFy day
Ger paths uncertain dim and gray,
murmur Oft $50 far away!"
The while my faith essays to climb
The shining heights, o Love Divine
Give to my seeking soul some sign
That tits not wholly vain to hope
For strength with life and death to cope;
Ipaused-for scent of heliotrope
Stole softly inland sweet and clear,
Borne on that slumbrous atmosphere,
Came bird song love best to hear.
Incense of flower trill of bird
By you my better thoughts are stirred
Not vain your plea, nor vainly heard.

The argument against it was that favorable action
would result in loss of the German vote Thus
the influence of women was traded for German

This and the treatment received at the Demo

NEWSPAPERS AND WOMEN.


Some one has said, newspapers need women
more than women need newspapers" 1t is diff
cult to for see any future for newspapers if the
legislature forbade the mention of woman in its
columns. Everyone must acknowledge that the
eye of the reading public glances over foreign
news parliamentary debates and presidential mes
sages to the latest scandal and divorce suit. The
woman in the case is ever n. cunP--ss3 for all
eyes. Her motions, her MOI 5onicl er appearance,
her sentiments are far M important than
national affairs.
OF late the beautiful Mrs. Hammersley and her
fortune have attracted general attention. The
Engishman is very thrifty individual He sails
the ocean blue with his divorce papers, his
title and his empty purse, and he returns tri-
umphant with bran new marriage certificate, a
beautiful bride and an inexhaustble bank account.
His example deserves to be emulated, and her ex-
ample deserves-wel woman is a remarkable crea-
ton; probably, she loved him.
Then we read of Leona Dare who hangs from
balloon one and half miles up in the air by her
teeth. One holds their breath in reading it. Is
there no law to govern women; no law to prevent
her rsking her life in such an atrocious manner?
This is the question helpless man vainly asks him
self
Another woman is more than usual before the
public. Mrs. Norton, of St. Louis. Surely the
nerve of Leona Dare is eclipsed by this courageous
woman who, all for love, defes the world. 'Love
laughs at locksmths," says the adage but just at
present the laugh appears to be on the other side.
Loves young dream pales beside this dream of
love. When these two people took affairs in their
own hands, defying the law, decency and public
sentiment, they shouldered greater burdens than
they knew. In the future, when their dream of
love is oer when they fail even to make an item
for newspapers, they will marvel at their own
audacity, even though the wickedness of it is not
recognizable.
Two other women there are that have of late
been attracting universal attention-the mother
andsister of the murderer Hugh Brooks, alias Max
well. For these two women the fountains of pub
lie sympathy have been stirred from the very bot
tom. While justice certainly demands that this
terrible crime be expated on the gallows, here are
two pale, fearful women who beg for mercy. For
their sakes the public awaits breathlessy the out
come, hoping against hope, and for them the tears
will fall as the law takes its course. How varied
are these phases of womanhood depicted in the
daily papers during the past fortnight But for the
poor mother and heart broken sister OF the MUIR
derer Maxwell, every heart beats in sympathy.
The one to have blghted life in store for her,
the other bowed down in sorrow to the grave,

THE MARRIED MANS HOLIDAY.

THE MARRIED MANS HOLIDAY.
The summer time, that takes the wife and babies
out of town, has come to be known as ''the mar
red mans holiday" There is reason to believe
that the married man smarts just little under
this insinuation One can stand joke that is real
funny, but when it borders on facts it produces a
different sensation, accompanied by frgid smile,
an unapprecative, indifferent expression; breath
from the polar regions pervadcs the atmosphere
for one short minute, and the husbands thoughts
revert submissively to the absent ones. He may
be in truth ever so desolate ever so lonely as the
train bearing his dear ones disappears from view,
but an unfeeling world accords him no credit.
Neither does it bear him malice il only looks
wise and smiles. The funny paragrapher reaps
ten cents line for his thoughts, the humorous
poet invokes the muse the neighbors get out their
opera glasses and stow away bits of information in
their memory to mennon casually at some future
time. NO. hNs.a.
This is a very suspicious human family. The
''ice'' and ''snow' of Shakespearean version are
virtues which an ncredulous, caumnious world
only recognizes under certain unfavorable circum-
stances, when the doors of opportunity are closed
and barred. Matrimony and freedom are not con-
sidered corelative terms. And while in the heart
of a tender, loving woman, speeding so rapidly
away the departing train, there are longings to
bear with her the patient breadwinner of the fam
ill., reproaches that she is absorbing the bounty
of his labors and anxietes lest he need her
watchful care-he-he-is free-free as air! And
for her, the curtain falls DER one of the shifting
scenes of summer
Home, that short time ago held all that was
most dear, now becomes place to repair to when
all the other places are shut up. No spurious ex-
cuses are now necessary and apologies are only in
order to the canvas covered furniture, the echo
his own conscience, and the peeping neighbors
Within, the dream of unmolested bachelors quar-
ters is at last realized the backing brush reposes
on the dressing case, masculine attire Grapes the
various chairs, and trousers hang in delightful
abandon on the various doors. He can leave cigar
ashes IN bed, and put the pillows IN the refrlgera-
tor without provoking feminine horror, He can
leave the entire internal arrangement suggestive of
the presence of cyclone as housekeeper, and find
it the same as when he left in the morning. No
feminine invader has outraged the sacred, long
coveted disorder. No flching fingers have gath
cred up the stray coins from their hiding places
beneath beds and bureaus. No one has misplaced
the morning paper or the clothes brush, and or
derby disorder reigns supreme,
O midsummer! thou hast indeed charms for the
sons Of toil--with wives out Of town. Who can

Specify or Retract.

The vigorous and constant abuse
of men who could not see their way
into another party organization
has alienated rather than won men
to the support of the Amendment.
"P" IN Journal and Messenger.
In all good conscience we demand
that the author of the foregoing
sweeping charge shall either speci.
fly or retract.
We defy him to furnish single
aaastamce of abuse as charged, from
any representative source of Prob
ibition press or speech, during the
West Virginia campaign, and until
such instance is shown the writer
must stand convicted of slandering
such faithful Prohibition leaders
as Revs. L. l.. Stewart, L. e. Peters
It. N. Lynch, B. f. Myers, W. P.
Walker, J. w. Carter, J. M. Carter,
W. M. Weekley, T. G. Johnson, Mrs.
Jennie McClurkin, Miss Minnie
Hutchinson, and hosts of other
men and women, good and true,
who faithfully battled for the
Amendment on its merits, without
raising party questions, and yet
dared to hold their own convictions
in favor of the Prohibition party
in the face of Republican spleen
and persecution without parallel
in political warfare.
We aver thag the charge OF wig
orous and constant abuse of men,"
as aimed against the Prohibition
lists of West Virginia,is utterly I'M
true, and in the name of the brave
men and women we have named
and all who fought the unequal
battle with them, we demand that
the author shall either specify OF
retract.

BE NOT DIsCOURA&ED.
Good Work, Well Done, Is
Never Wasted.

Let not the W. G. T. u, nor any
of the faithful Prohibition workers,
for a moment sh1nk that all their
hard toll for the Amendment has
been for nought. Be assured ALI the
earnest prayers shat have gone mp
from anxious homes all over the
State have found sure lodgmens in
Heaven, to be answered in the good
time coming. The seed that has
been sown throughout the various
counties will briag a sure harvest
in due time, and that right soon.
After the people come to their sober
senses and see what awful RESPONSE
bility they have incurred by their
wicked slaughter of most right
eous measure they will stand aghast
at their own guilt and hasten to
undo the great wrong in the most
expeditions way. When the excite
ment of the late unparalleled CAM
paign shall have faded away, the
murderers of the Amendment will
wrestle with troubled consei-
ences on sleepless beds, as the in.
creasing cries and walls of suffering
women and children come yelling
up from homes ruined by careless,
reckless or vindictive voting for the
perpetuation of this Saloon curse.
God makes the wrath Of man to
praise him, and 1t may be thas the
very enormity of this political sin
of the people will Lead 20 early re-
pentance and speedy compensation
in the triumph OF the Right.
Be assured OF this one thing,
good work, we'll done, is never
wasted. The seed has been sown in
faith and watered with tears. God
will assuredly bring the harvest.

Cards were sent out by the Chair

watch the count and note the pro-
portion Of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis voting for and against the
Amendment. These reports are
now coming in, and will furnish

that the reports are enough to make
