WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The New York Evening Post.
The woman suffrage question came be-
fore the Maine legislature on the 2Sth
ultimo on a proposition to give the sex
the ballot in municipal elections. The
matter has aroused considerable interest
during the preliminary discussions, q
noticeable feature of the case having been
the presentation of number of remon-
strances against the proposed change
from women. Ex-Governor Robbie, the
leader Of the house. made a long speech
in favor of the bill, but it was defeated
by vote of 80 to 40 The friends OF the
cause viii be somewhat disappointed
at the poor showing which it made, be-
cause it indicates that the large vote cast
by women at the Boston school election
last December, has not strengthened the
movement as much as they hoped. It
appeared possible then that the Republi-
cans might take UP this extension Of
the suffrage as a party measure,
but the tone of the press in New Eng
land, as well as this vote in
the Maine house, Shows that
no such step will be taken at present.
On the eve of the decision at Augusta
the Republican organ published at the
against the bill on the ground that STE
male suffrage would surely defeat its
own avowed objects, and in the end rem
der the government of cities, states and
nations more difficult and more per-
ilous." The Boston Journal, the chief
Republican newspaper in Massachusetts,,
is equally opposed to the change, and it
is evident that for the present the move
ment in New England will be left to
make Roadway without organized sup
port from either of the great parties.
The woman sutfragists have just suffered
another defeat in another part of the
country. Much favor has been shown
the movement in Dakota, and the
last legislature passed a bill Civ
ing women the suffrage, which,
however, was vetoed and de-
feated by the governor. 1t was hoped
that the present legislature would pass
such bill by so large a majority that
the governor could not block it, but in
stead of this the lower branch has just
refused to give it any majority at all. 1t
would appear, therefore, as though the
growth of population in the territory
had weakened the cause, and as though
the new states which it will soon form
would incline to initiate the Conserva-
tism of New England. In the northwest
as well as in the northeast-and the
same thing is true in the interior, the
Ohio legislature having recently defeated
a similar movement-the greatest OBJ
stacle to woman suffrage now IS the in
difference or open opposition OF women.

MACHINERY AND LABOR.
Denver Republican.

Denver Republican.
Mr.. Powderly said wise thing when
! he stated in his recent address In Can
ciInati that the machinery for doing the
worlds work was not labor saving but
wealth producing. He also said that the
great problem of the future for work
| ingmen was how to adjust themselves to
the new order of things and reap their
tpll share of its benefits. 1t Is a COM
mon thing to speak of machinery as be-
ing labor-saving. and in certain sense
1t is true, but in a larger sense 1t Is not
true. With respect to the amount of
wealth that one man, working with his
hands only, can produce, it IS labor
saving; for one man working with a ma
chine may accomplish as much as ten
men working with their hands only. AS
a matter Of fact, however, the result OF
the introduction of machinery Is not to
reduce the number Of hands employed,
but to multiply the amount Of wealth
produced. No better illustration OF this
truth could be asked for than the
employment of steam in transportation.
Doubtless if men and horses
moved the commerce of the world which
now is transported on railroads. it would
require the employment OF more men
than the number now engaged lnrallroad
service. But it goes without saying that
If the Railways were not IN existence
the commerce would not be as great as
it is. The world has made more progress
commercially since the application OF
steam to transportation than it had made
in all its previous history. One result Is
that very great many more men are
now employed in railway service than
those who, before the invention OF the
locomotive, wers employed In the same
kind of commerce. If it were not for
the machinery employed in railway
transportation, in mining and smelling,
Colorado would be today but little IN
advance of what it was in 1860. 1t IS
even doubtful if it would be as far ad-
vanced as it was at the close of that year.
The placers would be worked out, and
in the main the silver mines and the
gold quartz mines would be unde-
veloped. The miners employed then
in the placer diggings would not be en-
ployed at all, except in small way; and
no better confirmation OF this need be
asked than the fact that, at the present
day, few men are employed In placer
diggings. Not only do more men find
employment now than before the era of
machinery began, but also the condition
of the laboring classes is improved. The
day laborer of today lives in greater COM
fort than the noble of the daye of Queen
Elizabeth enjoyed. His improved condi
ton is due almost wholly to the fact that
the use Of machinery has placed within
his reach articles which then the wealth
of the nobility could not buy.

The murder Of Captain Dawson in
Charleston, S. c., Tuesday, by his fam
lily physician in the physicians office,
was one Of the most dastardly crimes of
record. From the published accounts of
the terrible occurrence, it would seem
that the people of that community would
be justified in disposing of the murderer
in the most summary manner, if such
action is ever justifable anywhere. The
murdered man was perhaps the most
valuable citizen the city had because he
was not only willing at all times to ad
vance the interests of the community,
but was in a position to render it invalu-
able service.

THE LENTEN SEASON.

There can be but little doubt that the
| observance of Lent is growing more and
| more common with the American peo-
| pie. This is especially true in the large
cities where its beautiful services long
since became an essential factor in So
cial life. Lent Is observed, or should be.
both on account of its religious signifi-
canoe and as period Of spiritual disci-
pline and penance. AS the natural man
has as much need of of one day of rest in
seven as the religious of his Sunday as
worrhip day, SO a physical reason for
Lent is found in modification of the
rich and heavy diet of the winter, that
the lassitude and heaviness associated
with the spring may be avoided. There
is common sense in this vein. The fats
and meats that are needed to keep US
up to blood heat" when the thermome-
ter ranges from zero to 40 degrees
below become only distractions
when afterwards the thermometer
records a temperature almost as high as
that needed in our bodies. 1t is adding
fuel to fire when the temperature is too
high already. Hence we may wisely be
all good lent observers. The general OBJ
servances of these anniversaries is not
due, however. to physical considerations
so much as to a growing disposition
among educated people to express
thought and belief in symbols and for
mulas, which appeal to the feeling, con-
victions, and even taste. The tendency
to this form of religious expression is
natural and right and cannot fail to be
productive of good results in the moral
and religious world
While to many this observance is full
of touching beauty and its influences are
mosUlasting it cannot be denied that many
more are driven into it without the
proper feelings and sometimes in spirit
amounting almost to blasphemy. Even
to such the influences surrounding the
season must be potent and they can
hardly escape being made better and
stronger thereby. Every exercise of
morality, every opening of the inner
nature to the beneficent working of re-
lgious truths will leave upon the char
acter change which, though disre-
garded, may be indelible. Thus, even
though the observance be in a spirit OF
lovity or even verge upon the blasphe
nous, it should be encouraged and fos-
tered for the good that must come
through the secret workings of that
mighty force which through such varied
agencies has made our civilization

fine on the wheat growers of the country
in securing not only the entire stock of
