WASHINGTON WOMEN WILL WAIT

Several months ago the legislature Of
Washington Territory passed an act con-
ferring the privilege of voting upon wo-
men. A test case was made and carried
to the supreme court of the territory and
that tribunal decided against the valid
ity of the act. The reason assigned
by thecourt for thedecislon
against the law was that in
passing such law the legislature ex-
ceeded the powers conferred upon it by
congress in the organic act establishing
the territorial government. The act OF
congress referred to, limits the right of
suffrage as follows:
The right of suffrage and of holding
office shall be exercised only by citizens Of
the United States above the age of 81 years
and by those above thaG age who have de-
clared on oath before a competent court of
record their intention to become such, and
have taken an oath to support the conStl-
tuition and government of the United
States.
While women are citizens of the Uni
ted States the court holds that 1.-THE fed
al congress, in legislating on the ques-
ton of the territories, and in granting
the right to them in the organic act to
confer suffrage. had all the time in view
males only, and has at all time, by every
possible implication, excluded females
from occupying and holding office. "
This is clearly good law and will I'M
doubtedly be sustained by the higher
courts. The right of state to establish
woman suffrage is undisputed. The right
of congress to authorize the territories to
establish it is equally so. But until the
intention is specifically declared by af-
tirmative legislation such intention must
be held not to exist.

Wichita's WAY of Doing g..

Wichita is providing a weeks good
entertainment and doing herself proud
at the eighteenth mile stone. She is
fifty years old in pluck, enterprise and
achievement Religion, politics and
sport swing around the circle till they
reach her hospitable gates, and are then
taken in and made welcome in such style
that the only regret is in leaving. There
must be something there.

There is one objection @ to Judge
Gresham for the presidential nomination;
he would be opposed by all the power of
influence and money that the Louisiana
State lottery swindle could bring to bear
against him. That institution has never
recovered from the staggering blow the
Judge gave it few years ago while he
had charge of the postal department.

If it be true, as he claims, that Mayor

Chairman WattersOn of the platform

ten from renewing the performance,

While Judge Gresham is the enthusiast
tic choice Of large majority of western
Republicans for the presidential nomina-
ton, they are at the same time intensely
loyal to the party, and party success
being held above personal preference.
Republicans Of the west will cheerfully
submit their wishes to the wisdom of the
party in council, and the nominee will
receive whole-souled endorsement and
support whether he be from New York

The eighteenth anniversary of Wichita
will be celebrated by that city next
Thursday by trades display. Wichita
is the largest city in Kansas and its
growth has been phenomenal. But, then,
Kansas is the place to see phenomena.
Young men scarcely out of their teels
are occupying positions of prominence
throughout its breadth. Also cities, but
''sweet sixteen" are power.

The remark of Mr.. j. S. Clarkson. the
Iowa member of the National Republi-
can committee, that "while Mr.. Blaine is
out of the race it is safe to say that the
nominee will be one friendly TO him and
not his enemy" is true, but it was I'M
called for and unnecessary. We take it
that there are no enrlities in the Repub-
lican party, particularly among its lead
ers and representative men, at this time.
There is no occasion for such exhibitions
and none will be made.

The fact that Mr.. Thurman joined in
the prosecution of the members of his
own party in Ohio, who We're charged
with election frauds, which prosecution
resulted in their conviction and impris-
onment in the state prison, is no doubt
the secret of the very strong opposition
to his nomination by many of bis own
party of that state. Cleveland and Thur

Young Mr.. Thurman, the son of the
old judge who has just been put up by
the Democrats as running mate to
Cleveland, partakes strongly of his
fathers most marked characteristic,
that of stating his convictions in frank,
straightforward way. The young man
is quoted as saying that it is all rubbish
to talk about his father being able to
yank Ohio out of the Republican column.

could accomplish that feat in a presi-

The illness of General Sheridan is a
most forcible illustration of the influence
Of will power in resisting disease. For
week the grand hero has been in a con-
slant, desperate struggle with the grim
monster, in which a less courageous per-
son would no doubt have succumbed.
General Sheridan has been a remarkable
man in all his public career, never meet
ing with any utright defeat at any time
or in any sphere, but often bringing vic
tory out Of impending defeat That this
may be his good fortune in his present
struggle, all fervently pray.

a few days ago the EAGLE paid Hon.
Jno. A. Eaton, of Winfield, passing
compliment in making mention of what
seemed to it an unkind and unwarranted
slap at that gentleman by certain alleged
Democratic papers, and the Telegram of
Mr.. Eaton's own town takes it up and
very CURLY reminds the EAGLE that
it is none of its fight. Well, perhaps it
isn't; but the only apology it can offer
for the intermeddling is its solicitude for
the good name and veal Of the state. If
Providence should have in store for us
such an infiction as another two years
Democratic rule, we cannot but wish
that the ruler may be clean man, and
one possessed of common sense and de-
cency, such as we esteem Mr.. Eaton.
Only this and nothing more.

1t is a common mistake to suppose that
an angry bee is certain to sting on alight-
ing upon n human hand. On the con-
trary, she will always examine the skin
very carefully first with the palpi-very
delicate and nervous feeling organs,
which are situated near the sting. 1t
may seem that she stings at once, and
without care or reflection; but q bee can
do a great deal in a very short space of
time, in proof of which it may be men
toned that ''she can flap her wings more
than 400 times per second, and that each
flap involves the extension and contrac-
ton, through a nerve impulse, Of the
muscles employed in the wing move
ments." This being the case, as Mr..
Cheshire says, 1--WE shall see at once that
the no time difficulty is removed"
When a person has been stung by a bee,
he should remove the sting Immediately,
.'if possible, by the nail, running it in
the direction opposite to that by which
it has entered" On no account let him
take hold of the sting with his thumb
and finger or a forceps, for then he will
probably squeeze more of the virus into
tho wound from the poison bag, which
is generally left attached to the sting.
Although the virus Of a bee sting is q
strong acid, it does not always follow
that an alkali will cure it. Much depends
upon the temperament and constitution
of the patient, and while arnica mon
tana and ledum palustre will give relief
in many cases, in others they are in
furious. We may discuss the subject of
bee stings by giving the young beekeeper
two pieces of comfort-the first, that at
swarming times bees are nearly always
in an exceedingly good temper; the sec
ond, that each time he is stung he will
probably become less susceptible to the
effects of bee poison. Saturday Review.

Terrible Gas Explos1on.

MONTREAL, MAY 26.-The new gas
ometer at the gas works at Hochelaga ex-
ploded this morning. There were sup
posed to be from twelve to twenty men in
the building at the time. Five bodies
have been taken out. The remainder are
buried in the ruins. Up to 1870 this
morning seven dead bodies have been
taken from the ruins. Most of the bodies
taken out were only slightly bruised and
1t is supposed that death was caused by
s~utfocatlon. Men who were painting on
the roof we're blown fifty feet in the air
but escaped serious injury. 1t is supposed
that thirty were more or less injured.
The building is an entire wreck.
1t is generally believed that the explo-
sion was caused by a filter incautiously
approaching a leak with a lighted lamp
while endeavoring to locate it. The dam
age to the property is estimated at $780,
900 to 5000, 900. 1t is possible that the
walls of the adjoining gas metre are so
shaken that a large portion of them will
have to be taken down.
The excitement in the east end of the
city is very great and the scene presented
while the bodies of the victims were being
removed was very pathetic. Another
name, that of a young man named
O'Brien, has been added to the list of the
killed. His body and that Of Jos. Anglere
is still under the debris.
The following is a list of the fatally in
jurcd: Angus Gay, fractured skull,
burned face and hands; Geo. Fisher,
frightiully burned; Tom Stacy, compound
fracture of the leg and burns on hands,
face and legs.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Col. d. A.
Grosvenor, member of the employment
committee Of the G. A. r., testified to-
day before the house committee on print
ing regarding the employment of soldiers,
sailors and orphans of soldiers or sailors
by the government printing Office. Col.
Grosvcnor was asked if the assurances
made by Benedict to representatives of
the q. A. r. that the law exempting this
class of employees from discharge had been
kept. He said it had not been kept, but
that the reverse of this was the case.
GTosvenor further said that he had visited
the government printing Office frequently
OF late in the interest of comrades of the
G.. a. r.. and that it had always seemed
to him TO be the most difficult bureau OF
the government the G. A. r.. had to deal
with and where they could expect the
least help.
The secretary of state has been inform
ed by the consul at Port Au Prince,
Hayt', that fears are entertained of
another revolutionary outbreak on that
island. The report was of such a charac-
ter that it was deemed advisable to send
a naval vessel to the island for the protec-
ton of the lives of American citizens there
and a telegram was sent to Rear Admiral
Luce, commanding the North Atlantic
squadron now anchored off Port Royal,
s. G.. to dispatch one of the vessels of his
squadron on that mission.

Chicago shippers Aroused.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Chicago shippers
are up in arm against the proposed re-
duction of rates by the Burlington &
Northern railway after June ! on through
traffic between New York and st. Paul to
meet the rates made via the Vermont
Central and Lake Shore to Chicago ship
pers. The Burlington & Northern has
given notice that it will adhere to the
present schedule. In other words, they
propose to charge Chicago jobbers ten
cents more for hauling freight from Chi
cago to st. Paul than they charge New
York shippers for the same freight from
New York to st. Paul. A number of
letters Of protest have. been sent to the
Chicago freight bureau calling attention to
unjust discrimination. Many Chicago
shippers agree hat they will have to re-
call their men from the Northwestern ter
ritories or else sell goods in that country
at a loss. An effort will also be made to
induce the 20" people who do not favor
the cut to bring its subordinate road to a
sense of right and duty.

exhibit of his product in London an in

the pharmacist of the future. 1t was in
the form Of a cabinet provided with a
series of knobs or buttons, each inscribed
with the name of some malady for which
a remedy might be asked. The customer
puts a coin into a slit and presses the
button calling for the remedy he requires,

tanning the article sought. This auto
