Shall women be Allowed to Vote.

The question of female suffrage has
agitated the tongues and pens of reform
ers for many years, and good arguments
have been adduced for and against it.
Many of the softer sex could vote intelli-
gently. and many would vote as their
husbands did, and give no thought to the
merits of a political issue. They would
all vote for DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scrIption, for they know it is a boon to
their sex. 1t is unequaled for the cure
of leucorrhea, abnormal discharges
morning sickness, and the countless ills
to which women are subject. 1t is the
only remedy for woman's peculiar weak~
nesses and ailments, sold by druggists,
under a positive guarantee from the
manufacturers, that it will give satisfac-
ton in every case, or money will be re-
funded. See guarantee on wrapper

IT is now said that Ben Gable is to be
the democratic candidate for congress IN
the Rock Island district. Bill Neece has
upheld the democratic flag for several
campaigns in succession, but he has
grown aweary of the task and he now
proposes to shift the burden off upon
Cables shoulders. Ben is young and has
pot of money, so that he may as well
sprinkle some of it around the district in
the holy cause of reform as in any other
way. Nothing so helps the reform move
ment as a little wealth, just as no one
runs Sc well upon a poor mans ticket as
rich fellow. Politics goes by con-
traries, and the man who has money is
apt as a general thing to find that politi
cal honors are thrown to him because OF
that fact. The democratic hosts are al
ways led by an aristocrat. Jour
nal.
The journal is mistaken in regard to
Mr.. Gable. He is no aristocrat. True.
he is well-to~do, but that does not hinder
him from being man of the people.
And it is not his money that caused his
friends to mention him in connection
with congressional honors. 1t is his
eminent qualifications and ability to
properly represent the diversified and
growing interests of the Eleventh disN
trict in CONGRESS-

New YoRK, May 3l-The end of the
Methodist conference was plainly indicated

Decoration Day had much to do with this,
but most of the important business had been
transacted, and tho meeting has been long

fact practically the closing day. Bishop

The following resolution defining the
new rule of pastoral service was adopted:

be appointed to a charge which he has not
served for the three years preceding, and be con
tinued thereafter in said charge for five years;
and pastor now serving charge which he has
not served for three years T,er'-ding his present
pastorate may he continued through full term
of five years In all other cases the rule of five

Inc NILS lS1ll Ready so far as the Demo-
cratic Caucus Is Concerned.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 3l.-About 100
members of the house attended the Demo
cratic tariff bill caucus last night, and re-
manned in session until about midnight Sew
era amendments to the Mills bill were pro-
posed and considered, but the only change
agreed upon in the caucus was reduction in
the duty on rice -four and rice meal from
20 to Is per cent. ad valorem. 1t was de
cided to go ahead with the discussion of the
amendments to the bill in the house imme-
diately after the house has disposed of the
legislative bill. A resolution, offered by
Springer, was adopted earnestly requesting
Democratic members of the house to remain
in the city and in their seats until the tariff
bill is disposed of. A resolution was also
adopted declaring that no amendments to the
Mills bill should be supported in the house
unless Endorsed by the ways and means COM
mittee or the Democratic caucus The ad
journment was virtually without date, and
it is not expected that another caucus will be
be called to consider amendments or party
action on the bill.
