NEWSPAPER OPINIONS.
A Word TO Republican clubs.

New York Press.
This is very important work for the
State Laague OF Republican Clubs TO DO
ihis summer nnd fall in dealing with the
Prohibitionists The latter may be divided
into two classes, one consisting cf those
who are 30 welded TO the idea of legal pro-
hihitiou as to sae no possible good in bigh
license restrictions, and the other Of those
who, regarding the danger of the liquor
interest 10 politics, and morals as the sup
RENE Issue Of she time, have voted the
Prohibition ticket at pas. elections be-
cause neither great party showed a deter
miuation to deal with the question.
1t is perhaps useless to bring arguments
to bear on the former class Of prohibition.

Pig rearing is a great industry in Hainun,
China. Last year IS 900 were shipped from
Klungchow to Hong Kong, where an ullim-
tied demand exists for this particular porker.
Owing to the extreme competition, however,
among the shippers, 1887 was not a very
prosperous one. A frequent fraud is prac-
ticed ON them. On account of the shallow
water Of the port OF embarkation the pigs
are frequently sent ont to the steamers at
night, and the boatmen take advantage Of
their opportunity to exchange big pigs for
small on the way. They bring back receipt
for the right number from the ship, and ap-
propriate the profit made on the weight Of
the pigs. Chicago Times.

The Potency Of cnree.

lightly dried green tea, is q mild stimuant
and sudorific, or, to use common phrase
among those who drink it, comforter or
''stayn Coffee is more potent than tea. It
not only arrests waste Of tissue, but it also
possesses qualities which bring it very near
to the limits Of the range Of dangerous drugs
II we take theine, the alkaloid OF tea-and
we may practically leave out of considera-
tion the difference between black tea and
greenland compare it with the correspond
ing alkaleid In coffee, we find certain marked
differences. Coffee is more immediate and
more marked IN its effects than tea. A
strong cup Of coffee viii act on the moment,
and is sometimes employed by medical men
as an emetic. Or, again, a cup Of hot coffee
win recruit a man who has suffered from a
violent shock, where a cup OF warm tea
would be not much better or more efllcacious
than basin Of Cruel. It may be agreed,
then, that coffee properly prepared is a
drink for men rather than for women.

Who Are the People?

The constitution and laws of the
United States were framed for the bene-
fit of the people. Who are the people
of the United States, the men or the
women9 And if the women compose a
part of the people, why should they not
share in the privilege Of voting? 1t is
not necessary for a lady to stride
around in boots and breeches simply
because she is entitled to vote.
Neither, if women voted, would old
bachelors be obliged to bake their own
bread to eat with their cold coffee.
When the marriage service is over man
and wife become as one, and the wife is
generally the better half. Now. as she
is supposed to be better than the man.
she should know better how to vote.
Women will stop the drunkenness on
election day at the polls and instead of
seeing our American ballots cast into a
filthy old tobacco box, among the smell
of bad cigars, old cheese and Bologna,
purified beer and sawdust, in some
closed-up saloon. crowded with the
scum OF the earth, there would be the
fragrance of beautiful flowers, and
sweet song of birds would take the
places of oaths and curses. We feel
assured the good women of America
will counterbalance both bad men and
bad women. In Chicago i have per-
sonally known men to borrow neigh
boris baby to carry it in their arms TO
the polls for protection. When the
ladies vote we can leave the baby at
home. ca female baby is as useful for
protection at the polls as male.)

MONEY MATTERS.

One Source of Trouble In the Married
State-where Women is at a Disad-
vantage.
There is no more common cause OF
troubles in families than the vexed
money question. Young women who
have been earning good salaries marry,
and give up their opportunities OF
securing an income of their own, in
order to make home and take care of
it. They have been accustomed to
draw their money with their own hands
and plan how to use it. But now it Is
all different. No money comes into
their hands as their own; they have to
ask some one else for every cent they
require TO meet their personal wants.
And however dear that one may be, no
two people ever see things just alike.
and this necessity sooner ur later be-
comes exceedingly irksome, not to say
uncomfortable. From this very thing
arise probable most Of the differences
and heart-burnings of welded life.

A woman in Nebraska. so says an ex-
change, refused to give in a list OF her
property to a German assessor. When

declared she would not pay unless COM
PEELED, and protested against a foreigner,
who could vote, being sent to assess a
native-born American who could have
no voice in declaring how the money
taken from her in taxes should be spent.
The prejudice against foreigners, as
foreigners, is foolish and unjust but
our naturalization laws are now so lax
that men are admitted to vote long be-
fore they have become socially and in
tellectually acclimated. 1t adds to the
humiliation of Acknowledgement when
an American woman sees such men set
to rule over her. The feeling of the
