ARE women wise in asking for the
ballot, and the Offices? Only the good
looking ones could be elected. A
homely woman would have noshoW
whatever for an Office, when the adj
mirers Of some charmer could put their
idol on the track, and prove the depth
and ardor of their affection for her by
the energy with which they skirnished
around and procured votes for her. In
no time there would be an uproaI
among the old maids and the homely
women to undo the whole thing, and
let men do the voting and offics-hold-
ing.

PROJECTING OURSELVES.

The Secretary of War, in his report that
goes to the houses of Congress to-day, con-
ours with the Secretary of the Navy that
immediate steps should be taken for the
complete protection of the National Cap
ital, the City of New York and at least
one port upon the Pacific, by adequate
coast defenses. He adds that the work
should then be pursued until every vul-
nerable point on both coasts is guarded
against naval assault. In quite the same
language used by the Secretary Of the
Navy, he declares that celebrity will be the
essential element in any future war. TAX
ing these statements of the Secretaries as
the basis for judgment, it follows that the
nation will be almost criminally negligent
if it delays any longer in the matter of
protecting our coasts. The Republican
Administration is thus squarely before the
country as in favor of thorough fortifca-
ton and the building of such naval de-
fenses as will assure us of comparative
safety and put the United States upon
level with the frst-class powers. The
Democratic party has always been the
party of obstruction; it remains to be seen
if it will follow its traditional course and
antagonize the recommendations of these
Secretaries, whom it may in advance be
assumed will be Endorsed by President
Harrison. If, for mere political capital
and advantage, the Democracy attempts
to throw obstacles in the way of such
national work as the reports map out and
declare to be vitality necessary, that party
will merit the odium that will be visited
upon it. 1t is just possible that high
conception of true craftsmanship will
move sufficient of the party to accord with
the recommendations to prevent partisan
stand in opposition. But the history of
the Democracy does not encourage the
hope that partisanship will in this
case rise superior to the little politics of
the mere politicians. The people will see,
if the Democratic politicians will not, that
there is the essence of truth in the words
of Secretary Proctor, @ If there is an ap-
parent sense of security among our people
it is born not of ignorance, but of thought
lessness. Although our position and the
traditions of our national diplomacy tend
to the maintenance of peace, defenseless
condition will ever invite attack" And
again, when he says: at is not local
question. Not only is the national honor
alike dear to all, but hostile shell in the
streets of New York strikes the prairies as
we'll" He declares that such works as we
need cannot be extemporized; their con-
struction will not be a question of weeks
and months, but of years. The whole mat
ter is, therefore, now before the National
Congress, and that is in the hands of a
majority that is sent up by the Republi-
can party. That party will, therefore, be
held responsible by the people if it fails to
pass the necessary measures to secure the
coast defenses so imperatiyely demanded.
1t must see to it that the Democratic mi
nority does not succeed in defeating such
measures in order to break down the Ad-
Manifestation

A LAssEN CASE.
The Supreme Court Holds That the Lower
Court Was Right.

Inc supreme COutt hOlQS mat the Lower
Court Was Right.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion filed
yesterday in the Office of ]. S. Williams,
Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court,
affirmed the judgment of the Superior
Court of Lassen in the case of Cady VS..
Leonard, all action brought by the respond
eat, as assignee of an insolvent debtor,
against the appellant to recover certain
personal property alleged to have been the
property of the insolvent at the time of the
assignment. 1t is commended by the appel
liant that the complaint was void, because
the plaintiffs right to recover was based
upon fraud, and the fraud was not alleged
The Supreme Court holds that the COM
plant was sufficient. 1t is further con-
tended that certain evidence offered on the
part of the plaintiff was enormously adj
mitted, because it tended 10 show fraudu-
lent transfer of the property by the in
solvent to the defendant, and there was no
allegation of fraud in the complaint It is
held that the objections are without founda-
ton.
The Court concludes its opinion as fol-
lows:
1T is urged that the findings are not sus-
tanned by the evidence, but we cannot agree
with counsel for appellant on this point.
We think the findings are fully sustained
by the evidence, AMI that the judgment
was right"
