of dreadful ills will follow the re-enactment
of law comforting suffrage on women.
They and all the people of Washington ter
ritory know from actual experience that
none of these dreadful results are produced
by women suffrage. They are wholly i'm
aginary. There is nothing real about them. I"
One Of the arguments used by those opposed
to the re-enactment of the law is that its
passage will endanger the Territory's
chances of admission to the Union. In reply
it is urged that this would not be the case,
since. while the old woman suffrage law was
In force, the conservative branch of Con-
gress, the Senate, passed bill to admit the

A doctor out in Lansing, Michigan, has
succeeded in inoculating cat with typhoid
fever by the use of germs from water used
by the three hundred victims OF the scourge
at Iron Mountain in that State. OF course
this settles beyond a doubt the correctness
Of the theory that typhoid fever springs from
a germ taken into the system and that that
germ can be conveyed in water.

The Hoosier Democrats have begun a
boom for Governor Gray for candidate for
Vice President The Hoosiers are by no
means unanimous forihim, however. The Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash does not want him,
and his henohmen are vigorously opposing
him. The Democrats of Indiana have appar-
emily got reconciled to Cleyeland-probably
because they had to-and now there's no open
opposition to his denomination among them.

There is little doubt that the tobacco tax,
or part of it. is doomed. There is grow
ing feeling among the tariff reformers that it
won't do to jeopardize Democratic prospects
in Virginia and Connecticut by too much
loyalty to principle. OF course the free
traders would prefer to keep the tax on to-
bacco, because to take it Off leaves them less
room for raid on the tariff on imports, but
Presidential election is close at hand, and
VOTERS must not be alienated.

The fight in the Washington Territory
Legislature over the re enactment of the
woman suffrage law has re-opened the whole
matter for violent discussion of the ques-
ton. The Tacoma Daily Ledger, which
champions the cause Of the woman suf-
fragests. says that the leaders Of the opposi-
tion to the bill to restore to the women Of
the Territory their right to vote do not come
out and openly oppose woman suffrage; that
they do not deny the moral right of women
to vote; that they do not give any reasons
why women should not be permitted to vote I;
that they simply say that this is not the time
to consider the question. IF the opponents
of the suffrage bill would make an open
fight against woman suffrage" says the Led
ger, their ranks would be speedily thinned.
They know very well that there are no
reasons to be urged against the proposal to
allow women to vote that cannot be urged
with equal force against the law permitting
men to vote. Hence they very cunningly
attempt to put the suffragists ON the de-
fensiye by assuming that whole long train

Nobody disputes that the cottage plan on
which some of the Western reform schools,
notably the Ohio school, are conducted is
much superior to the ''congregate" plan, or
the collecting of the boys together in one
building But it costs more, and Maine has
growing richer, our finances are getting into
better shape every year, and in the near
future our Legislature may see its way clear
to adopt the cottage plan at the Cape Eliza
beth school. Great improvements have been
made at this school within few years past,
but it will never become what it should be, a
purely reformatory institution, until better
classification of the boys can be had than is
practicable at present.

The Worcester (Mass.) Grange of the Pat
rons of Husbandry at recent meeting dis
cussed this resolution: "That the free i'm
portation of raw material will be beneficial
to the farming interests of the country"
Almost all the speakers were opposed to the
policy of the resolution and expressed the
opinion that it would be injurious. 1.-THE
farmers" said one of the speakers, ''ss pro-
ducers of raw material, are as much entitled
to protection as the manufacturer" That is
a claim which nobody can success fully dis
pute. The Presidents policy Of removing
all protection from raw material, while man
ufacturered goods are left protected, is
one that denies this clear right, and against
which every intelligent farmer should raise
his voice in opposition.

The fishery commission haze apparently
gone into luxurious quarters at tie capital for
the winter. Allthey have done since reassem-
bling is to shake hands, and that is all they
are likely to do for some time to come. Sir
Charles Upper finds the free traders in
clined to give Canada all she is after by put
ting fish on the free list so that his people
can enjoy our markets on equal terms with
our own, and he and his British associates
have concluded to wait and see if they can
do it. If they can and do Sir Charles who
appears to be the ruling spirit of the British
side Of the commission will graciously con-
sent that the proper way of measuring the
three mile limit shall be submitted to arbi-
tration. What he will do in case the free
traders cannot secure for the Canadian fish
ermen the benefits Of our markets is not an
nounced But he win probably do nothing,
but go home.
Once, it is said, that the British gov
ernor was on the point Of conceding our most
important demands, when despatch from
Mr.. Bayard assuring Lord Salisbury that
our government did not mean to do anything
but write polite notes to the British foreign
office produced so reassuring an effect that
England immediately began to vigorously
support her colony. Again, apparently the
British commission were about ready to
come to some arrangement when they dis
covered that they might, by grace of the
Democratic free traders in the House, get all
that Canada wanted without giving anything
for It whatever. and so stiffened up their
hacks

Massachusetts, prisons under the exist
ing law in regard to convict labor are getting
into decidedly bad way. The Boston
Advertiser says that the 800 or GOO men in
the Charestown prison are kept practically
in enforced idleness. They cost the State
nearly 100000 yearly more than they earn.
"Ten years ago." says the warden, when
all the men were employed upon contract,
with the added inducement that a certain
amount Of work should secure certain advan-
tages to themselves or to their friends out
side, self-interest kept them in their places
without trouble on the part Of the officers
Although the system may have been perni-
cious, it had the sanction Of the community,
especially the taxpayer, and to a certain ex-
tent the prison officials; all Of which is now
changed by the logic of events. AT present
the position is an unenviable one" 1t ap-
pears to be evident enough from these facts,
that Gov. Ames did not magnify the import
ance of the subject by deyoting to it large
part Of his message to prison labor.

If the Argus thinks the sugar trust-of
which it does not APPROVES the out
growth Of the protective tariff, why does
it not favor a repeal of the sugar duty?
Sugar is a necessary of life-qute as much
as blankets and clothing which the Argus
prates so much about. 1t is used by every
body. The reiners as a rule are in favor Of
removing the duty. Yet the Democrats
from;.he President down insist that it shall
be retained. Whyp Because down in Loui-
siana there are few thosuand voters who
raise sugar cane and are loyal to the Demo-
cratic party. The President recommends
that all raw materials except raw sugar be
put upon the free list. and all the Democratic
leaders chime in. Sugar growing is a DEM
ocratic industry and it must not be dis
turbed. tits alright to expose the poor fisher
men along the New England coast to the kill
ing competition Of Canada by putting fish on
the free list, but to the lordly sugar planter Of
the good old Democratic State Of Louisiana

States must pay tribute.
