A Mans Opinion.

The following is an extract from speech by
Capt. w. Dewitt Wallace, of Illinois:
If L were asked to-day who are the most in
consistent of all inconsistent men and women, |
would, without q moments hesitation, answer,
"The opponents of woman suffrage"
Think of it! They proclaim that man and
woman have different natures, and yet maintain
that man can represent woman better than she can
represent herself. They admit that woman pos
sesses intelligence and mental endowments equal
to man, and yet maintain that she lacks business
and political sense. They protest that virtue is
the most essential qualification of the citizen voter,
and vet maintain that woman, who possesses this
qualification in the highest degree, should be ex-
Guided from the polls. They admit to the ballot
box the worst elements Of society, and yet main
tain that the best elements should be excluded
from it. They believe that nature established
the home, and yet maintain that legislative en-
actment giving the ballot to woman, will tear 1t
down. They concede that woman is the best
sculptor of human character, the grandest teacher
of the citizen voter, and yet maintain that the
product wrought-s everything, the artist moth
ing-the pupil king, the teacher slave. They
assert that all governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed, and yet
maintain that governments should be established
and laws enacted with the consent of less than
one-half of the people. They declare that taxation
of man without representations tyranny, but that
taxation of woman without representation Is
blessing They trust the negro the Chinaman,
tile Irishman, the German, the Hottentot and the
South Sea Islander, if they choose to come to our
shores, but they refuse to trust their own wives
and mothers. They fear that, if the latter should
breathe the pure air of political freedom, it would
poison their moral lungs. They fear that the
flower of modesty, though watered by the dews OF
liberty, would wither in the sunshine of freedom.
They fear that the chords of affection, which break
not at the drunkard's strain, would snap asunder
at the first touch of political difference. They
fear that the love of mother for her child which,
as in the case or Ben Hur's mother, chooses for
herself misery and death, to save her offspring,
will be swallowed up in the love of politics. In
one word, they fear that woman is, by nature, I'M
fitted for freedom.

Information Wanted.

The Nashville American says:
During the war, perhaps In 1862, a
man by the name of Jackson Jones
living in Coffee county, Tennessee,
enlisted III the Confederate army
aud was sent to the hospital at
Nashville or somewhere else along
the nver. He sent for his wife,
who left home to 20 and see him,
leaving a boy two years old with a
family by the name OF Mills, who
moved to Kentucky, perhaps IN
1868, carrying the little boy with
them. Mr.. Jones nor his wife were
heard Of no more. Mrs. Jones' mai-
den name was Nations, and was al
ways called isis" Tn at little boy
has elbowed his way through the
world and is now man, but if one
drop of blood flows through kin
dred VEINS he does not know 1t.
He wants TO ask the many read
ers Of the American, through its
kind colum ms, if anyone can give
him any information concerning
his parents. They are probably
dead, but perhaps some unfortunate
comrade of Mr.. Jones can tell where
and when they died. He also wants
to know if any of the relatives Of
Mr.. Jones or his wife are living,
and if so, where they are.
Any information on this subject
Will be thankfully received, and we
hope all the friends of the sad and
lonely will give it some attention.

A Man in Trouble.

Last Sunday Mr.. w. H. Bru-
ton, editor of the State Wheel, re-
ceived a postal card from Mr.. j. l..
Onley, of Friendship, Crockett cOun-
ty, upon which the writer expressed
his opinion of the paperIn anything
but fatterng terms, and closes 1t
with a benediction that IS calculated
to excite the anger and try the Chris
tian patience and fortitude of even
an editor. The aforesaid editor,
knowing such language on a postal
card to be gross violation Of the
postal law, promptly refe rred it to
Judge H, w. McCorry, United
States District Attorney. The re-
suit Was that on Thursday night
Mr.. w. NJ. May, Deputy US Mar
shall, brou5 ht this Daley man into
the city 4 prisoner. He was car
ried before Commissioner d. IL.
Haynes yesterday morning, aud the
card being produced he ack nowlelge
its authorship. He was placed un-
der bond of $500 for his appear
auce at the next term of the Fed
eral Court in April. There is Il Sc
we're penalty under the law for send
ing such matter on a postal card,
and Mr.. Onley will doubtless learn
that it would probably have been
cheaper to have come to JAG kson
and cursed the editor tina to have
done it in the way he did. His doc
tors bill would have been less than
the cost by the time he gets through
with it in court.-State Wheel.
1t is not safe to tell an editor to
20 to hades on postal card.

Now that the election is over we
suppose each newly-elected mems
Der of the legislature is beginning to
look around TO see what he can do
that will be a benefit to those whom
he represents IN the next General
Assembly. We suppose il would
not be out OF place for The BULLE-
TIN to call attention to some laws
that are burdensome and ought to
be repealed. The assessment law
is first among the number. 1t seems
to offer bride upon its face, by
paying the assessor according to he
value Of property he assesses. 1t is
an inducement tor hlm to put prop
ettv-above its real value m or,ler
to increase ms fees. Again, in the
revenue law, county warrants, wit
ness ices, notes, etc, are taxed. I bis
should not be. If one man wants
to buy u warrant from another he
should be allowed to do so without
first having to procure license, aud
the same in regard to witness fees,
notes, etc. Every obnoxious law
should be repealed. and as the dem
oerats nave two-thirds Of ,be Iegis
lature, the registration law should
be passed by all means. The slate

EDITORS BULLETIN-It will be
remembered by some OF the magis-
trutes Of the last July court, while
protesting against the county aid
ing IN building bridge across Lit :
tie Hatchie IN the back water,
that it was said by one Of our clti-
zens then opposing the building of
a bridge at the lower place and fa~
voring the upper place, remarked
that the people would build them a
bridge at the upper place near the
ford. The assertion has been fully
verified, On the 23rd and Oath Of
last mouth it was rumored around
that the arches would be raised on
those days. Sure enough, early
each day ten or twelve of the neIgh>
bors were on hand. The arches
went up, sleepers were laid across,
and before the close Of the second
day there was a slam-bangIng of
p'ank, and a rush was made to see
who should be the first across.
CYou can ask Esq. Howell who
came out ahead.) At noon on each

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT NEAR CAMERON
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
A Six-Hundred- Pound Stone Falls on @arisa
LOudsnslagr With Fatal Rssals-Dsesa'sd
highly Esteemed Citizen.

A rather peculiar accident occurred near
the little station of Loudensville. absut
six miles this side OF Cameron, Monday
afternoon, which resulted in the instant
death Of Charles Loudenslagsr, we'll
known and highly esteemed citizen.
Mr.. Loudenslsger was walking along
the path which runs beside the track, near
the station, when the pickup" engine
came along, going west, and drawing sev'
eral fat cars of heavy stone. When oppo-
s;te Mr.. Loudenslsger, and ON . sharp
curve, the sharp twist to the cars threw
one of the stones, weighing probably six
hundred pounds, of and falling on the
aide where the unfortunate man was WALK
ing. il struck him on the legs, below the
knees, and rolled over him, after telling
him to the ground, causing almost instant
death. Both legs were broken, and his
body terribly bruised.
He was picked up and carried to the
residence of his brother, Joseph, near BY,
but nothing could be done for him.
Toe death of Mr.. Loudenslager caused
general sorrow in the community in which
he resided, and will occasion regret over
wide area. Wherever he was known be
was highly esteemed.
