The queer things that have happened in
Kansas since municipal suffrage was granted
to the women seem to be intending Oska-
loosa, In Jefferson county, in that State, has
become famous the world over, since the re-
cent municipal election resulted in the choice
of mayor and entire board of aldermen
from among the women. No less interesting
have been the performances in Americas, in
Lyon county, which are told of by CORES
pondent of The Woman's Journal A year
ago the women of that little city got togeth-
er and nominated complete ticket compos-
ed of those whom they considered the best
men in the city. This ticket was elected
triumphantly. Obviously the proper thing
this year would have been for the men to get
together and nominate ticket composed of
the best women in the city. But the men
did not do this. The local newspaper, how
ever, took upon itself the task. But this
ticket was not acceptable to the women. The
correspondent of the Woman's journal says
the nominees "were not our best women !;
three of them old, weak and feeble; one in
eligible to office, and the most of them lack
ing the progressive spirit Of the age-women
WIN Wouiu ldthCl NV fosOs AhAo eiShos
the women refused to support, preferring to
give their support to ticket Of men formed
at the eleventh hour by some men who seem
to have mustered up enough courage and in
terest to meet in a schoolhouse caucus and
form ticket. At the polls. as well as in
the primaries, the men seem to have played
secondary parts. The clerks of election
were two widows, who needed the pay, and
who maintained at the polls the best of or
der. 1t will be interesting to watch the
course of political events in Americas and
0skaloosa. The men seem to have been
eliminated as factors Of political influence.
In Oskaloosa they have passed off the stage
altogether, and taken back seats; in Ameri-
Gus they are still ON the stage, but apparent
iy only by the charitable consideration of the
women who have put them there.

The Mormon conference recently held at
Salt Lake, as far as outward acts are con-
cerned at least, seems to have been in SYM
pathy with the State convention of last year
in its attitude toward polygamy. A young
elder from the country who spoke in favor of
plural marriage was soundly berated by the
elders both in public and private. 1t would
be dangerouo, however, to accept this as
conclusive proof that the Mormons have re-
solved in good faith to abandon their evil
practices. They are astute po,iticians-with
an eye ON the kingdoms of this world. Utah
is now but dependent territory. They
would like to make 1t a sovereign State, well
knowing that the sovereignty would be
theirs. The practice of polygamy is the
greatest obstacle in the way of the achieve
ment of their purpose. 1t is rot strange,
therefore. that they should be willing to lay
1t a.ide temporarily. But the American
people will insist on some sort of a guarantee
that it shall not be revived after the terri
tory has become State. The Mormons
have undertaken to give that by inserting
clause in the proposed constitution forever
forbidding it. That, however, is not sufi-
cient. The constitution will not enforce it
self. 1t must be shown that the anti polyg-
amy clause will not be suffered to become a
dead letter. With judges, prosecuting at
torneys and juries in sympathy with plural
marriage, it is obvious that this constitution
al prohibition would amount to nothing.
The Mormon elders may be sincere in their
professions of an intention to abandon
nolvpamy hut IL will be prudent to nut them
on probation. Their conversion has taken
place under circumstances that makes 1t
little suspicious.
