OH DEAR, MRS. LEASE. GIVE Us A
REST

Mrs. Lease diSSents to our criticism OF
| Matilda Fletcher. OF course. But she
don't endorse Matilda. Nobody expected
| that she would. Women are not around
| endorsing each other on free trade, on
| protective tariff nor on any other matter
about which there could possibly be two
sides. Mrs. Lease in diving into Us also
dives into the history of former wars for
specimens of bloody women to bangle
| about over our poor head. What use
| does Mrs. Lease imagine kind-hearted,
| inoffensive woman-worshiping fellow
| like the editor of the EAGLE could posi-
| bly, have for a class of women like Char
lotte Corday, who could go calmly to
| work with dinner knife and butcher a
fellow in his bath tub Ugh! We tell
Mrs. Lease that there could be no such
thing as war, not even street SCRAPS, II
woman should say may" If woman
is not at the bottom OF every trouble she
could at least stop all troubles at the top
| of a warlike character. Men w IL
fight about everything, anything, nom
ing. As for Mrs. Leases tented field
and hospital" picture, that all be-
| longs to the very channel which we
suggested to Matilda. As for the asser-
ton that there is no sex in brain-no
sex in soul" we cannot subscribe to any
such nonsence. Male and female
created He them" not only as to bodily
functions, but as to spirit, as to soul and
to brain. Any exception is an individual
one. There are persons who possess the
brain of man and the heart of a woman
and vice versa. There are even Charlotte
Cordavs who possess both the soul and
brain Of man but boast only the softer
body of a woman. AbnormaltieS are
found everywhere. Did Mrs. l.. never
meet in her life a .'shoo pussy"
creature, going about in the habilia-
ments and body of the male animal
man-which male animal female woman
suffragists delight to brag OF being
equals-we ask, did Mrs. l.. never know
one of these creatures who possessed
both the brain and the heart of
woman, the tenderness of the one
and the delicate intuition of
the other? OF course she
has. The world is full Of them. Upon
the other hand the Belva LockwoodS
and the Matilda Fletchers
are becoming quite too numerous; for
when all the women of this world become
the exceptions for which Mrs. Lease
prays SO persstently, when they all be-
come Charlotte Cordays, Joan DArcs
and Matilda f'letchers, we shall not even
take time to resign our unmentionables,
bat ask the Good Lord TO take us over
there, to where the women wear white
robes and wings of untarhished sheen,
and that Immediately. Dear madam,
we will have no farther use for this
sphere of crooked bUstles when women
can no longer be possible angels, when
they shall have become mere female-men
straddling about the world in petticoats
whooping up the side that wears breeches
in the interest of high tariff and an
equal suffrage.

A JERUSALEM BOOM.

According to the San Francisco Report
DIR. Sivartha, an enterprislng gentleman
of Chicago has just departed for England
with the apparently laudable intention
Of booming Jerusalem and M aking it a
center of learning, political influence
and religion" He hopes to colonize
Palestine SO extensively with English
and Americans as to change its whole
character and induce the powers of
Europe to declare it an Independent
nation and guarantee its neutrality.
incidentally, Dr. Sivartha-who seems
to be gentleman of expansive ideas
would also "'deyelop' the Euphrates
Valley, a district capable, as he remarks,
of supporting 100, 000, 900 people.
The Report is of the opinion that there
can be no doubt that with irrigation,
railroads, an energetic population and
an established government, Palestine
and the great valley of the Euphrates
would once more blossom as the rose,
and become formidable rival of Cali
fornia i'll the dried and canned fruit and
If i'll the case is particularly big one.
England hopes to grab Palestine-along
with Egypt-ere long and make Je-
ru5alem a way station on the rail-
road between Alexandria and Bombay.
Russia has also her views on the future
of Palestine, and we doubt whether they
include full-length portrait OF Dr.
Sivartha as president thereof. Possibly
Turkey, as owner of the Chicago prom
ised land, may think she has better use
for it than the doctor contemplates. 50
far as Russia is concerned, however, the
doctor may find an ally. He may even
be working in the Cars interest. In
that case he will also find plenty of OPP
pOnents.
Unless he be very young man the
doctor will die before his scheme shall
have passed beyond its lectming stage.
We presume he hopes TO get it into the
subscription stage at an early date.
We do not advise the Reports readers
to go in for any lots in the Bethlehem or
Emmaus additions just yet, or to project
suburban residences upon Olive Heights.
but we do suggest to them the propriety
of examining their titles to mansions in
the New Jerusalem, and that there is no
better time to make the examination
han today.

1t cannot fail TO strike the average
American as little remarkable that the
emperor of united Germany should deem
it necessary to Danish woman from his
dominions on tile eve of his departure
for brief visit to the car of Russia In
this act the new emperor has shown a
weakness that is at least unexpected in
view of his utterances upon ascending
the throne short time ago. 1t shows
that he is either afraid to trust the
woman (the empress dowagerJ among
his people during his absence, or else he
hadn't the courage to meet the car while
harbOring the person concerning whom
the interview is TO be held.

Written for the Daily Eagle,
GROVER.

Democrats love Grover.
Because he's ''bold' and ''brave;"
He fights-the widows pension,
Whose husband died to save
The very government which now
Grover lords it DER.
Where was Grover then? you say;
Why, fishing at the shore.
That's what the widows can do now:
That is-if not conceity
Enough to crowd dear Canada,
And harm that little treaty.
when England bids her vicious cub
Wreck our fishing vessels,
She likes to know her confidence
In Growers bosom nestles.)
One pension widow Grover found,
Whose past, he claimed, was erring.
Shall vice subsist on Uncle Sam?
His righteous soul was stirring.
Let him who stands quite sinless, first
Cast at her stone"
Brave" Grover gathered up rock
And made that widow groan.
Is this the imam Of Destiny"
We all know he's sighted;
For; overlooking Allentown,
His angling vision lighted
On some Missouri hamlets, whose
Utter lack of gliding
Told him these thrifty ''Pukes" deserved
A rousing public building.
Is this the man who promised to
Reform the civil service?
Then turned the rascals out SO quick
1t made JEFF Davis nervous.
England stamps her equity feet
In fits of approx alton;
Shed like to choose t he man who turned
The crank of this great nation.
Think you, she has forgotten quite
That famous little fuss
Which lost for her America,
But freedom gained for us!
Think you, she d not repeat the ''act'
or tyranny's creation,
Which made the sea one vast teapot
OF seething indignation?
Now stop and think-what is the cause
OF ali this foreign growing?
Is it because they think free trade
VIII keep our country growing?
And why do all those lovers of
Nobility and blue blood
Hover Grover Cleveland, whose
Past still smacks of hemp-thud.
And simply scorn Ben Harrison,
Who has what they admire:
Ard ancient line of ancestors
Who've held their country higher
Than by almagamation to
Grind her well paid labor
TO the beastly pittance
That starves our foreign neighbor.
BETH.

MATILDA'S BACKER.

To the Editor Of the EAGLE
l fail to see the logic Of your remarks
addressed in yesterdays issue of the
EAGLE to mistaken Matilda, mistaken
because if she was cognizant of its recent
platform, she would know that the I'M
portant issue of universal franchise was
ignored. the grand old party" of the
males was bent in supplicant knee TO the
hydra-headed traffic Of drink. But are
you not equally blinded in quoting

have also forgotten the brave women Of
both north and south who not only at
home. but on the tented field and in the
weary hospital of pain, drove the enter
ing wedge Of justice to the IRON
bound, rock-ribbed heart Of man and
convinced him b. her valor at home and
abroad that she was his compatriot and
peer. Did Charlotte Corday display less
heroism or deserved less mention for

The Washington doctors say there
never was critical ease more sUperbly
managed than General Sheridan's. At
one time, it is known, both pulse and
respiration had stopped-he was literally
a dead man. But one doctor clapped a
galvanic battery to the general and the
other pounded away to produce artificial
respiration and he was brought back
from death to life. The universal hope
is that the doctors skill and energy in
treating the case, supplemented by his
wonderful exercise Of will power that
have tided the patient so far may hold
out until he is safely anchored again in
the haven of perfect health and vigor.
