In regard to Mayor Grants reappointment of
Mrs. Agnew, and appointment of Mrs. Williams
to fill Miss Dodge's pace on the New York School
Board, the New York Tribune says:
"1he principle of securing the good offices of
public-spirited women in furtherance of the
schools welfare has been again enforced, greatly
to the satisfaction of all sensible people, 1t may
be doubted if there was any sufficient reason why
Miss Dodge should not have been reappointed as
well as Mrs. Agnew, since she had certainly served
the public with zeal, fidelity and intelligence. But
the woman named in her place possesses capacity
for useful work which is all that could be asked,
and will undoubtedly bring to the discharge of her
duties keen interest and sincere purpose to do
all the good she can"
OF the Mayors failure to reappoint Miss Dodge,
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake in her letter to the
Woman's Journal, says "From the very first there
was persistent attack upon her. Every sort of
Misrepresentation was made in regard to her pub
lie career. In more than one case she bore the
blame which others deserved, and refused to vim
dictate herself when the means were in her possess
sion, maintaining a silence which was dgnifed,
but which placed weapons in the hands of her enc
mics"

The second annual meeting of the Equal Rights
Association of Kentucky was held at Lexington,
November 10. Miss Laura Clay, president of the
association, delivered a most excellent address,
which proves that the women of the South are be-

women and justice The meeting was we'll at

The principles of equal rights are rapidly adj
vancing, and the justice of the movement is be-
ginning to shape the opinions, in greater or less
degree, of nearly all classes of society," Many
more than are generally suspected wear the yellow
badge the emblem of equal rights. Now and
then is caught glimpse of bit of ribbon worn
in the buttonhole, but to one who wears the coors
thus conspcuously displayed, hundred wear the
bright yellow "Gcod Luck Carter" one of the
latest fads of fashion.

How much we wish that we could give our read
ers on paper glimpse Of their strong advocate
and champion, Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake. Her
face is truly southern one Born in the South,
deprived by death of her father she was taken by
her widowed mother to New Haven, Conn, where
she received liberal education The staunch and
able way in which she has for the past twenty
years advocated the woman question, has been
productive of much good. Through her untiring
exertions New York State has given larger vote
for suffrage than any other except Kansas, and
the National or Historical Pageant given to her as
testimonial, was well deserved, for she has been
untirng in her efforts in behalf not only Of this

In the death of Mr.. Jefferson Davis, first last
and only President of the Southern Confederacy,
one more link is severed between the present and
those troubled times in the short life Of the South

Chief must necessarily revive thousands of sad
memories However others nay feel, they should
'tread lightly Ger the ashes Of the dead" All will,
in the near future admit his many elements of
greatness.
We wish to call especial attention to the letter
from the Hon. Jesse Harper, published in this
issue of The CHRONICLE, Mr.. Harper believes
the financial question the most important now be-
fore the public Next the woman question, after
which comes the question of temperance. If the
temperance advocates could be persuaded to
espouse the woman question first, and direct their
energies toward placing the ballot in the hands of
women, their victory would be more speedily as
sured, When women shall exercise the right Of

The world moves, and as it has been said that
the world is composed of the land and the people,
it behooves the people to keep up with the land,
or be hopeessly left as forsaken landmarks for
the future Yes, the world moves, and we are
never more forcibly reminded Of the fact than
when looking backward a few years and comparing
the written ideas of those times concerning the
advancement Of women, with the expressions Of
present writer's upon the subject. For instance,
it is only few years ago that every little penny
a-ner considered it both witty and smart to ridi-
Guile her pretenson to an equality Of rights, legally
or politically with the male sex, but now few or
none claim that she is not entitled by right to all
the privileges men enjoy. But they say, cal
though she is by all justice entitled to them it
would not be policy to concede them" Policy is
at best towards argument, and has been the
excuse Of all such in every age to clog the wheels
of advancement, On the path Of life every step
upward tends to give us wider, longer, more ex-
tended scope Of vision and what is hidden entirely
from the domestic drudge is seen, analzed and APP
preciated by those women who have taken Tin de-
fance Of all these policy arguments,) few steps
upward, and still more awaits those who have the
will and energy to climb what those scribblers call
forbidden heights"

movement, but in all other branches of reform
tending to ameliorate the condition of women.
The Woman's World says:
Through twenty nine States of the Union, from
the Pacific to the Atlantic Mrs. Blake has travelled,
taught, pleaded and petitioned in the interest of
her sister women when the victory is won; when
all laws subversve of woman's liberty are erased
from the statute books, when the married mother
has right to her children, when women can cast
the ballot in the interest of peace, morality and
good government, let it be remembered that this
glorious consummaton is in great part the result
OF the twenty years patient work and unfinching
heroism of Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake
AS THE roots are to the tree, so the farmers
stand to the nation but as the roots of tree are
covered with the earth, and buried from sight so
the farmer is covered and obscured by mary and
selfish interests, and so completely has he been
hidden from view and away from action upon the
stage of national affairs, as to cause seeming for
getfulness of his existence, to say nothing OF his
interests. From the proceedings of the recent
meeting of farmers organizations at st. Louis, it
appears that the farmers are slowly awakening to
feeling of resentment for the neglect and forget
fitness upon the part Of those to whom the farmer
is the first and greatest benefactor. The farmers
seem to be growing tired of the scenery behind
the stage. They are sick Of playing the part Of
the faithful donkey who drew great heavy loads of
corn all day, that he might be permitted to stand
by the hay-rack at night. The farmers are grow
ing restless, and at the recent meeting put forth
few feelers, while showing disposition to send
down tap-root which would insure their being
felt If not seen.

TWO PRISONERS FROM ATT1CA.

Last evening Sheriff Hays received two
prisoners from Anthony for safe keeping.
c. j. Miller was charged with the murder
of John C.. Montgomery and Joe Filing
ton, two farmers of Attica, and the feel
ing was so strong against him in Attica,
where the shooting took place, that the
authorities thought it prudent to remove
him beyond the reach of the mob. J. NJ
Beatty. who was arrested on suspicion of
having killed j. w. Hutchinson last July,
was also brought along in order that the
true reason for the removal of Miller
might not be too apparent. The shooting
of Montgomery and Ellington occurred on
Sunday morning at half past three, Mont
gomery dying the same afternoon and
Ellington few hours later the same even
ing.
The trouble arose over game of cards
in which all of the parties had been en-
gagged.
In an interview Miller said shat the
two men had threatened him on several
occasions and that they had told different
parties that it was their intention TO come
up there that night and do the Miller fam
lily up. That Montgomery was bad man and
did good deal of Dragging and buldozing
He (Miller) Mt that time had poker room
and both men came there to play, as he
supposed. They had lost possibly FIVE
dollars between them and had accused
him of tipping their hands. Some words
had passed between them inside but moth
ing serious. He closed up when the game
closed, shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday
morning and went out with his lantern.
On the outside both men rushed on him,
one with revolver and the other with
knife, and he shot them in self defense.
There were two witnesses present but be
did not know their names. When asked
If be had any further statement 10 make
he said that be believed he would have
been killed had he acted otherwise In
answer 10 the question Miller said he had
a wife and a five-months-old baby.

DIR. UPHAM IN WICHITA.

Rev. S. f. Upham, d. d., LII. d., pro-
fessor of mental philosophy Of the Drew
theological seminary Of Madison, n. j.,
aud, we believe former tutor of Rev. S.
II. Savin, preached in the iatter's church
Sabbath morning ank evening. His text
Sunday morning was from King David
psalm Lead me to the Rock that is
higher than l." his subject Immortality.
The methods of the doctor were those of
the mental philosopher. but he had talked
scarce dozen minutes before the fire and
inspiration that ever comes from a multi
tude whose heads and hearts have been
taken captive were his. and from that mo-
ment to the end of his discourse of almost
an hour and a half he had it all his
own way, His great audience not only
saw and heard, but felt, and no one was
more keenly alive to that fact than the
speaker himself; so, when he had reached
the grand EXAMINATIONS of his logic and
the higher lights of his vivid illustrations,
the head no less than the heart were con-
WINGED that the soul will soar and sing
midst the wreck of all elementary matter
His conception of humanity in its attitude
of universal prayer was sublime, the logic
which followed pointing to Immortality as
convincing as though writ across the sky
with the finger of a messenger direct from
heaven. With lofty thought, but in the
simplest Of words DR.. Upham graphically
reaffirmed whats human is immortal"

street railway on Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock. The little fellow attempted to

that moment sufficient distance from the
track to escape injury and the driver
NATURALLY supposed be had seen the car and
had turned about rather than run in front
of the mules. As the mules got abreast of
him he evidently saw them for the first
time and IN his fright jumped
the wrong way landing in
front of the car. Fortunately the car was
going slowly and the driver had his hand
on the brake which was Immediately ap-
piled. The car was stopped in half its
length but the front wheel struck the boy 5
thigh, infiicting q fracture. He was
promptly removed to the Office of Drs. Nc
Clees & Purdue where DR.. Purdue gave
him immediate attention and reported him
last evening as doing nicely.

WILSON'S CASE.

Messrs. Sturdervant & Sturdervaut, the
attorneys in the Wilson case, have received
a copy OF the supreme court ruling which
grants Wilson new trial. The supreme
court holds that much OF the evidence pre-
sumed to be cumulative may not be so
and that the cause of justice may be best
subserved BY giving the man another
chance. Wilson's attorneys say that
much new evidence has been secured
while shey are in much better position
to rebuff the strongest evidence against
him. They further claim that much of
the most damaging evidence was ,rumped
up by detectives in the hope of securing
