A Wife's Right.

Two gentlemen were talking about a
business enterprise, says the Woman's
Journal. in which, though it involved
some pecuniary risk, they were strong
ly inclined to embark. Finally one
OF them remarked: II must consult
my wife before l decide" "Whyw
exclaimed the other lis she boss?"
NO." was the calm reply, '.neither am
l. We are well-matched team; and
we don't drive tandem. My wife is as
much interested in the welfare of our
family asI, and she has a right to have
a voice in the investment of our little
property" There is nothing more
than justice in this view of matrimonial
obligation, especially in the case of poor
or only moderately well-to-do families
and these comprise an overwhelmingly
large proportion of the families in this
cOuntry-where a slight increase or
diminutiOn of the annual earnings
would be felt alike by every member.
The wife, who has labored in the home
to earn or to save, while the husband
has labored in the field, the shop or the
counting-room, justly partner in his
earnings and their savings, and should
share in all plans OF his disposing of their
small accumulations, so as to make
them more productive if all goes well.

Woman's Education.

Lady Aberdeen, in an address before
an educational meeting not long ago.
regarding women's education, said:
They serve on school boards and
parochial boards, they act on commit
tees, they take leading part in phil
anthropic, religious and mission work"
If they are to maintain this position
and it is for the good of the community
as well as for their own happiness that
they should maintain it-they must pass
through brain discipline that will fit
them to grapple with the problems and
perplexities of public life. There is no
risk that the tenderness of their emo
tional nature, the delicacies of their
feminine sensibilities, will be destroyed
by sound culture of the intellectual
faculties. Women contribute to the
management of the poor. the young,
the infirm, in so far as these are thrown
upon the public, an inestimably valu-
able element of kindness and purity.
But there is not the slightest danger
that this element will be extinguished
by brain power. A strong feminine
understanding will be the best ally Of
a soft feminine heart.

THE SMITH MURDER.
Another Victim Added to the Bloody

Another Victim Added to the Bloody
Record of Arkansas Democracy.
Joseph z. Smith, colored man hv-
ing near Plummerville, Ark. was
killed March 80, after a day spent in
that town hunting up evidence relat-
ing to the assassination of Colonel
John NJ. Clayton. Smith had been for
some time engaged in this detective
work, and had procured considerable
testimony duplicating those engaged
in the conspiracy that ended in Clay
toms murder. He had furnished the
names of those implicated and of wit
nesses to the proper authorities. and
was adding to the facts that he had
discovered during the day on which his
death occurred. He happened to talk
little too much, however, and when
he started from Plummerville he was
followed by a young desperate named
Richmond. and was shot and killed
just outside OF the town. The murder
er was afterward arrested The crime
was witnessed by two persons, so
there can be no doubt rs to the event
The different crimes of which Plum
merville has been the scene are an in
structive as we'll as q horrible series
of tragedies. In the first place the
Democrats attempted gross frauds on
the ballot-box for the purpose of defeat
ing John NJ. Clayton, the Republican
candidate for Congress. But in
spite of their efforts, the ballot-box
contained from 800 to 500 majority of
Clayton votes. A crowd of Democrat
ic ruffians then stole the ballot-box.
Through this and other crimes of
similar character c. r Breckinridge,
the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. was declared elected. Clayton
contested the election, and in the
work of finding evidence to sustain his
claim went to Plummerville. He was
there murdered. There have been
IN any but fruitless efforts to bring his
murderers to justice. But the web of
testimony was being woven around
them. and Joseph P. Smith had some
of the most important threads in his
hand. So he was also murdered. That
is the Arkansas Democratic method of
stealing a seat in Congress and Of pre-
venting its recovery by the rightful
owner.
Much might be said regarding the
atrocity of this last crime and of the
crimes that preceded it. committed in
the interests of ballot-box frauds and
for the suppression Of the suffrage.
But the facts are the most solemn les
son that can be impressed on the
minds of the American people. 1t re-

can be provided against such bar

Cincinnati Editors Case.
Mr. Halstead might well pray for
deliverance from his friends. Mr..
Richard Smith, his journalistic part
ner, in commenting upon Halstead's
rejection by the Senate for the Ger
man mission. charges that the Repub-
lican Senators who had voted against
the Payne investigation did so because
their own election had been fraudu-
lent Such SANDER seriously preju-
dices the cause under advocacy. The
Senators thus DETAINED were Cameron,

of Nevada; Miller, of New York;
Riddleberger. of Virginia; Sawyer, OF
Wisconsin,; Sewell. of New Jersey;
Stanford, of California; Teller, OF Col
orada, and Van Wyck, Of Nebraska
Six of these Senator'S are no longer
members, General Logan being the
only one of the fifteen who is not now
living. Some of them are and always
have been poor men, and the charge is
a monstrous SANDER in each and every
case. General Logan had at that time
just passed through a most memorable
Senatorial contest, but his bltterest
foe did not make any insinuations
against the honesty of his election.
No doubt is entertained in circles OF
political intelligence that a great deal
of money was raised by friends OF Payne
in the preliminary stages Of the con-
fict, but 1hen it came to the election
itself t>ere was no bribery charged.
The Senators who voted against inves.
tigation did so on the ground that the
Senate mad no power to go beyond or
farther back than the election proper.
What may have been done in securing
