Southern Dakota. In Iowa, we are
told, the small grains will average
less than II onc-third yield; i'm many
counties the rust has ruined the
wheat, and oats i'm more than half
the fields will not be cut. And in
fields where the grain had grown
well il has been twisted and beaten
down 10y violent storms. Kansas
and Nebraska have Jared better
than in the two or three years
preceding; the small grains have
been saved In good condition, and
several copious showers through the
hot months have brought the corn
along finely, But private letters
from Kansas tell of extreme heat
there, and the fear Is expressed lest
the corn may suffer from scorching

on the supreme court in the follow
ing captious remarks:
Woman suffrage has proved a
practical failure in Washington Ter
ritOry. II has accomplished moth
ing In the way Of public or private
good. There have been no moral,
social OF political reforms as a cOnse-
quence Of it. On the other hand 1t
has made dissension and trouble
everywhere. After a fair trial its
mOstuncOmprOmising opponents are
among the women themselves. As
"A rule modest and good women have
not vOted-at least not the second
time-while vicious women and
women Of the cOarser class have
been vulgarly conspicuous at the
polls.
This is simply eX parte it is the
talk Of a man who is evidently
prejudiccd against the innovation.
The charge that woman suffrage
has accomplished no good is a mere
conclusion, determined by how a
person views the matter. 1t has
had no fair trial i'm that territory,
and the time is not yet topronounce
on its intrinsic merits. That old
chcsnuts, mouldy and worm-eaten,
that modest women do not vote, has
had It's rOttcnncss exposed in the
zeal and elan shown by our fair
countrywomcn i'm several states
when the authority to take part in
elections has been accorded them.

newspaper writers may cause fric-
tion and discord, but they will have
TO give way to the advancing tide Of

wom,N SUFFRAGE REJECTED.


The newspapers In our ucighbor
territory are discussing the woman
suffrage question. We have not
seen the full text of the decision Of
the supreme court of the territory
pronouncing the woman suffrage
law invalid, but the Post -Intclli-
gcncer is candid enough to admit
that all the law of the ease hinged
ON the acccptation of the word
"citizcn.' Both courts, lthc district
aud the supreme courts rule that
this generic noun, as used in the
organic net In relation to the
electoral franchise, is applicable
only To males. II will bc re-
mcmhcrcd that Judge Nash, In the
district court, in his cndcavor to
establish this mode of reasoning,
went back To theslccsion of Judge
fancy In the Drcd Scott case, who
defined the word "citizcu" 10 mean
white male, our oolorcd brother
being merely Il chuttel. II cost an
immense expenditure of blood and
treasure tu invulidatc the ruling of
that learned iurist but the price
was paid, and ms a result of this
prodigl outlay amorc liberal rule of
construction prevails.
This shows that the constituting of.
