a WEAK ARGUMENT.

| In speaking Of Mrs. Caruthers the Wich-
| tia Eagle says: at was an uncomfortably
close call that the suffragists made on cap
| turing one Of the nominations" Mrs. Ca
ruthers' nomination did not necessarily
mean an Endorsement of woman's suffrage.
We favored her but are opposed to woman
suffrage. What this paper has always con-
tended for was that il any acknowledge
ment was to be made of woman's work it
should come in the shape of the nomlna-
tion of a woman. Mrs. Caruthers was con-
fessedly the best qualified candidate for
superintendent, and 1t would certainly
have been much better to have nominated
her than to have put in such Sunday
school politicians plank as was put in
Salina Republican.
The Republicans statement of its po-
sition is self contradictory. The idea of
comforting elective official positions upon
women and yet depriving her Of the
right to vote is simply absurd. AS to
the mental qualifications of the lady
named they may be all that is claimed;
still that is not sufficient to warrant the
innovation. There are other qlalifica-
tons that woman does not and cannot
possess. The comparison OF Mrs. Ca
ruthers with the other candidates is
merely a personal estimate and may be
biased by personal considerations; but if
unbiased and accurate is still no argu-
ment. The convention was not restrict
ed in its choice of candidate to those
who were seeking the nomination it
was not only its privilege but its duty if
not satisfied with the qualifications Of
candidates before it, to have gone out
side and selected some one who was. In
this regard, however, we think the con-
vention did not err in its choice.

Ethan Allen, who has put many great
enterprises on paper, would like the gov
eminent to buy the island of Cuba,
which, he says, can be had for 500, 000,-
900 cash. But it is probable that this
amount would seem as small to Spain as
it seems large to the United States Cuba
is worth more than 800, 100000 to the
mother country; but to this country,
which could not hope to assimilate its
people or get their confidence, it would
prove an expensive luxury. Mr.. Allen,
in making his calculation-for, of course,
he cannot speak by the card-forgets
that Spain refused 800, 600, 900 for Cuba
thirty years ago on the ground that the
sum would be only 500 for 1,000,0 in
habitants. Now that the population is
1,400, 900, the bid per capita is still lower.
Added to this is the fact that Spain is
not in 50 much need of money as it was
three decades ago, under the Bourbon
monarchy.

self OF them. But he is at pains to ex-
press that he has no thought of living

Extravagant and untruthful state

Saturday night that he expected to show

The only practical results so far at
tending the appearance of the military
in Stevens county has been the arrest by
the United States officers of number of
persons implicated in the recent disturb
ances out there, which could have been
done just as well without the military
as with it. As for disarming the citi-
zens, nobody was silly enough to sup
pose they would go parading in the
presence Of the troops with their guns
on their shoulders or in their hip peck
cts. Very few arms have been or will
be found, and if every fire arm in the
county could be procured, the
owners would only be temporarily dis
possessed, as they will be emitted to the
possession of their private property
as soon as peace shall have been
permanently restored. With the arrest
of the leaders OF both factions-those
who are responsible for the trouble-and
their removal from among the people.
peace Will at once be restored and there
will be little danger of a renewal of the
conflict as long at the agitators are
away.

The ugliest and in fact only
charge preferred against Judge
Thurman, is his great age, his IL
years being held to be very grave
objection to his candidacy. For
tunately age is not crime, and 1t al
so is true that years do not count
with some as with others, one man
being more active and vigorous OF
mind at so than another at 60
years. Judge Thurman is one OF
those men whose usefulness is not
affected by age. There have been
such in this and other countries,
and here they have been prominent
and numerous all through the life
of the Republic. John Adams, one
President of the United States,
lived to be 81 years of age; Thomas
Jefferson died at s3 years, James
Madison lived to- be So. John
Quincy Adams was President and
afterwards a member of the House
of Representatives, and was active
of mind and body until 80, when
he suddenly died. Jackson lived
to be 70 aud Van Buren, to be so.
Nobody thought any of those great
statesmen were too cid to be Of SER
vice to the nation. There should
be at least dozen years of good
work in Judge Thurman. He
will show the Senate, as its presld-
ing officer, that he is not too old
to perform his duties in way to
command admiration and report.
