Truly, our agriculturists are oppressed,
but unfortunately they are more oppressed
by circumstances which local law-makers
have no power to alter or remove than by
unequal legislative provisions. Let them,
however, secure change in these provs,

terests require. This is the only practical
step that they can take to improve their
condition in the Immediate future.
At the same time, let them and their as

Disqualified by Sex

There was good deal OF rejoicing.
says the Philadelphia Ledger, among
the intelligent. liberal-min6ed folk OF
all countries when it was found that in
the heated contest for membsrs of the
municipal council OF Londoa two wo-
men of distinguished ability and public
spirit. Lady Sandhurst and Hiss Cob
den. had been successful at the polls.
and BY very significant majorities, too.
But the court of appeals Of that great
city of '.the older civilization" has
finally declared that womea are dis
qualified by their sex alope-to sit
as municipal legislators. Considering
the character of the two eminent wo-
men barred out from the London coun-
ell by this decision Of the court OF ap-
peals, their rejection is ridiculous; but
when it is further considered that the
communities they were to respectively
represent elected them by large ma
jorities, rejecting the men who were
their opponents, and that Great Brit
ain. Ireland and the Indian Empire are
ruled by an Englishwoman. their de-
barment from public service becomes
preposterously absurd. There is one
thing, however. to be taken into ac-
count in this matter, which is that
there is no one else SO truly and uncon.
querably conservative as an English
Judge.

HERoIsM or WOMEN.

Instances Of Courage and Bravery Of wo-
men In the Johnstown Disaster.
The press has given the public the
story OF the unparalleled destruction
caused by the great food in Pennsyl-
vania- Every chord Of human feeling
has been thrilled. says writer in the
Woman's Journal. BY the tragic cir
cumstances OF that awful disaster The
generous courage Of many men, and
the greedy hunt for plumber from the
dead by others. with all the attendant
horrors. have been told in the papers OF
the day. But out Of all the ruin and
loss Of property and life. and over all
the agony which rent 50 many thousand
hearts, there rise clear and beautiful
instances Of hcroism which prove
(evcn in contrast with the depravity
shown side by side with them) the
nobility of human nature. Tho finest
OF these occur among women.
The woman who stood at her tele-
graph, sending dispatch after dispatch
to warn the people below, when urged
TO flee for her own safety, said: ''My
life is worth more here;'' and she stood
ut her post. using the wire TO save
others. till the swelling flood made this
impossible. and then. just flashing the
words. This is my last dispatch" )" she
was washed away.
Another woman had kept the tele-
graph offices Of Joknstown and Bed
ford Springs for many years, as the
Ledger says. "for the greater part Of
her lifetime about thirty years and
her comely person and pleasant ways
were known to many travellers and
visitors to those places" She was at
her post in Johnstown that fatal Fri
day afternoon when the waters began
TO rise. She had sent report Of the
condition Of affairs near her Office and
residence. saying that she had been
compelled to 60 up to the second story.
but with no thought OF flight. When
another call was made upon her for
further information, no answer came;
and later, far down the valley. her
dead body was recovered from the
flood.
There were many illustrations Of tho
mother-love that is everywhere where
mothers are. Among the most touching
arc those Of the mother who put her
seven children out of the attic window,
one by one. on to driftwood. and fifteen
hours later was herself gathered alive
out OF the wreck. with not child
saved; and that Of the mother who,
clinging with her two children to the
roof OF her house. as it was swept
along, had a rope thrown by which she
might have saved herself il she would
have left her children. But to this
friendly offer She only sadly shook her
head, stayed with her little ones. and
went down the roaring flood.
One reflects with sorrow that in this
country the sex to which such actions
are possible are compelled. as children
are. to be governed by laws they have
no voice in making. The meanest man
has q vote; tho noblest woman has
none. The man guilty of an infamous
crime is temporarily made the political
equal of women. who, without being
guilty Of any crime. are permanently
disfranchised. So we make history.
