The Protecting Ballot.

We would really like the women who
have no natural protectors-and may
they be few-to have right to work for
fair wages, without undeserved criticism
or invidious distinction. And we are
not blind to the fact, writes Ella w.
Peattie, in America, that the ballot Is a
certain protection, lever, and an argu-
ment in matters commercial and judi
cial. A legally recognized citizen of the
United States is more apt to obtain his
rights in court Of law than an alien, a
slave. or woman, or any other person
not invested with legal recognizance.
Is it not so? A manufacturer woul1
perhaps treat his female employees with
more consideration if they held the
power of the ballot. And If he comes to
a merequestion of justice, a woman edu-
Gated in Republican ideas, loving as l do,
every foot of America from the Golden
Gate of San Francisco to where
Bartholdi's bronze keeps guard over the
beautiful harbor on the Atlantic, with
ancestors who have died in every war
America has had, is surely better en-
titled to the ballot than the diseased
and disorganized foreigners who come to
this country to wreak upon it the results
of their illiteracy, their superstition and
their profigacy.
suppose l should apologize for my
patriotism. Perhaps have no right to
it. Unfortunately must die before I
resign it. But l find it possible to love
my children and my country at the same
time, and to wish to show the same
practical love for my country that 1
hope do toward my children. At pres
ent my love for my country is forced to
be purely theoretical.

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A HARVEST SERMON.

The woods are russell golden. On the hill
The busy hum of insect life Is still;
The dreamy softness in the air grows chill
The swallows nests are empty in the caves;
Her flmy Web dew-gemmed, the spider
weaves,
Framed by Virginia creeper's bloodred
leaves.
The harvest fields Of all their wealth are
shorn,
The last rich load in triumph home is borne.
And cleaners gather up the fallen corn.
Not one Of all those sheaves Of gathered grain
But feeds mankind. or. sown, lives on again !;
Not one amongst the cleaners tolls in vain
No falling leaf from those great elms hard by,
Drenched through by autumn mist, can aimless
die,
But feeds the nook where Springs first violcts
lie.
Nor. sisters is one fight for justice lost.
though thrashed and winnOwed-to destruc-
ton tossed;
God works alike by sunshine and by frost.
Strive for the right! Do battle brave and

Fear not and faint not! For the end in view,
Leave it with Him. Dead efforts live anew!

BUSINESS EDUCATION.
BENJAMIN Franklin's Views on Educatin
Women for Business.

Benjamin Franklin's Views on Educating
Women for Business.
Benjamin Franklin, the great philos-
opher and statesman of the eighteenth
century, very early took ground in favor
of the education of the female SEX He
relates in his autobiography that he dis
cussed the matter with his bookish boy
hood chum, John Collins, when he was
hardly more than fourteen or fifteen
years of age, Collins taking the ground
that it was improper to educate the
female sex in learning. and that they
were naturally unequal to it, while
Franklin took the opposite side. After
the discussion, Franklin says: 81 sat
down to put my arguments in writing,
which 1 copied fair and sent to him. He
answered and 1 replied. Three or four
letters on a side passed" But it does
not appear that these early papers were
preserved for our perusal.
In 1888, when he was carrying on bus
mess as printer in Philadelphia, being
himself but twenty-seven years of age,
he says: 81 sent one of my journeymen
to Charleston, s. c., where a printer was
wanting. furnished him with a press
and letters. on an agreement of partner
ship, by which was to receive one-third
of the profits of the business, paying
one-third of the expense. He was a
man of learning, but ignorant in mat
tiers of account; and, though he some
times made me remittances, l could get
no account from him, nor any satisfac-
tory state of our partnership while he
lived. On his decease his business was
conducted by his widow, who, being
born and bred in Holland, where, as
have been informed, the knowledge Of
accounts makes part of female educa-
ton, not only sent me as clear state
ment as she could find of the transac-
tions past, but continued to account
with the greatest regularity and exact
ness every quarter afterwards, and
managed the business with such success,
that she not only reputably brought up
a family of children, but, at the expira-
ton of the term, was able to purchase Of
me the printing and to establish
her son in it. ! mention this affair
chiefly for the sake of recommending
that branch of education for young
women, as likely to be of more use to
them and their children, in case of wild
owhood, than either music or dancing;
by preserving them from losses by inn
posing and crafty men, and enabling
them to continue, perhaps a profitable
mercantile house, with established
correspondence, till a son is grown up
fit to undertake and 60 on with it; to the
lasting advantage and enriching of the
family"
This appears from the distance Of
more than century and half, as
pretty sound philosophy, as progressive
craftsmanship, and certainly as very
good sense,-Woman's Journal.

A Fish Story From England.

Seven years ago number Of salmon,
as many Tynesiders will remember,
were shown in tank during the exhibit
at Tynemouth aquarium. After the e1-
hibition closed they were returned to
the sea, but before being set at liberty
each had silver ring, recording the So
journ on shore, fixed in the dorsal fin.
About year afterward one of the fish
was caught with fly some miles above
Hexham. A day or two ago the biggest
fish Of the lot, which went by the name
Of "Jumbo" during the exhibition, was
caught at Ovingham and the ring was
returned to Inspector Harbotte. 1t
would be interesting to know how many
times that ring has been under Tyne
bridge during these seven years.-New-
castle Leader.

No Tariff In the Iowa Election.

The free-trade press will make cease
less and vociferous effort to misconstrue
and misrepresent the significance Of
Democratic success in Iowa, and to Gre
ate the impression that it is change Of
sentiment ON the issue Of the protective
policy against the free-trade policy. But
it is sheer rot. 1t is not the fact.
There is positively not one word Of
truth in it. The election of November
8 in Iowa did not go of on the tariff is
sue at all. Without enumerating again
all the causes which entered into the
Republican defeat in Iowa, it Is sufi.
cient to repeat that the main cause back
Of all was the prohibition experiment,
with an opportunity in the circumstances
of the election for some thousands OF
anti-prohibition Republicans to express
themselves on that question. Every
candid man in Iowa knows that this 10

leaders have admitted that this is 49,

EAfter all, these difficulties are
merely local and will have no effect on
National affairs. As National party
the Republicans are stronger to-day
than they have been since 1874. The

material for great deal Of Democratic

chaff over the country. The wheat,

A Boy ALLOW ed tn Die While Avail
Ing Cure by Prayer.

FiSpLAy, O.. Sept. 1.-Special-In
the little town of Button, just west
of this city, is band of faith-cure
people who have permitted four or
five persons to die lately while await
inf care from PRAYER. Their latest
victim was Bert Williams, a young
man of Il years, who ran against
stake in yard while playing ball and
bruised his leg just below the knee.
The bruise was not considered at the
time a serious one. In a few days,
however. the leg gave him considera-
BILE pain. and DIR. Clark was called.
The doctor examined the limb, and
finding the bone slightly bruised.
scraped the injured part, sewed up
the leg and left the boy in good shape.
To call daily and give the
wound the necessary treatment to
make it heal. That day,
unfortunately for the boy, the faith
cure people got hold Of him and made
him believe that if he had faith the
Lord would perform q miracle by
healing him at once by prayer. The
stitches were removed from the leg
and the prayers begun, but no one
ever made better time on the way to
the grave than did young Williams
after putting himself under the in
fluence OF those people. He was taken
TO the sanctuary of the faith-cure in
Button, where no attention whatever
was given him beyond prayer, ana he
was soon in horrible condition.
Grangrene set in, and the limb nearly
rotted of. On Friday he was re-
moved to his home, where he died YES
terdav, and was buried today. There
is much feeling in the community
over the matter, as only few DAYS
before a consumptive from FIndlav.
over whom they had been PRAYING for
two months, died on his wav home.
