The leading. men in communi
ty. socially and in a business way,
are those who take an interest," il
public affairs and have intelligent
opinions upon questions Of politics.
The more interested young men
become in questions of govern
ment the better citizens they make
and the better the government is.
10 this end, all questions of poll
tics should tend. What will he the
effect of woman suffrage upon the
practical, political education OF the
voters? By woman having the
ballot, questions of state craft will
be more generally discussed at
home. Boys and girls will soon
take an interest in them. Woman
herself will become more intelli.

LONDON, sept.1s-The statement made
by the Rome correspondent OF the
Chronicle, and confirmed by other press
representatives at the Italian Capital that
the Pope has solemnly and vigorously
protested against the action OF the French
Minister Of Justice in excluding tho
French clergy from participation In tho
coming general elections 10 the extent Of
influencing suffrages, las aroused q good
deal OF comment on what is generally re-
garded as the VatiCan's refusal TO admit
that sauce for the goose may serve for the
gander.
Concerning the protest oi His Holl-
ness, q prominent politician, himself a
Catholic, says: "0l course the Vatican
has everything to gain and nothing, to
lose in France, whereas in America,
where the Priest McGlynn and Others Of
his calling aud faith were inhibited from
active political work, the conditions are
reversed. Still, the number OF persons
in this country and on the Continent
who are unable or unwilling 10 reconcile
the two cases Is very large, and growing,
and the conviction is strengthening that
the position taken by the PontifF In as.
sertlng the political rights Of the French
clergy must certainly weaken the prem.

tion, the witness said he had known
Ives for some time, and had a number
OF business transactions with him from
May, 1886, up to the failure OF the firm
In 1887,
He was a witness in the case in Gin
cinnati, having been summoned by the
prosecution. Russell Sage asked him
10 20. Mr.. Sage at that time held a loan
Of the witness firm.
"Do you remember saying TO Mr.. Ives
that you had to testify or old Sage
would call in your loap, which was past
due?" counsel asked.
II don't remember
"That loan Is held over you YET, is 1t

"Yes."

President OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton road, and that gentleman had
visited him since the indictments were
found.

tidCates were registered on the former
date.
When the first new certificates were
registered by the bank the cancelled GER
tificates were not called for, nor did the

bank cancelled old certificates when new
stock was issued. In the spring Of 1887,

This was about April IA. Burns called
at the office and asked both Woodruff

A DiSpAtCh Received to the Eject that the

The following was received by Asso'
Ciated Press from Pittsburgh last night,
1t came in at such a late hour that yerlf-
cation was impossible; 49,
"The glass packers OF the Ohio Valley

ception Of two factories, the packers

Pittsburgh wages and thus the fight con.
tiAues. The places OF the strikers have
been taken by non.union men,"
II the information contained In this
dispatch, so far as II relates to the Amer
lean Flints is true, there will either be
a speedy settlement or shut down Of
oil the factories. II is not thoughtto be
probable, however, that the American
Flints have decided to help the packers
in any more substantial way than posi-
bly, tolend moral influence, for the reason
that they refused TO admit the packers
TO their union at two different conven-
tions during the past three years, and
have also refused to strike against the
men at work at the Elson, where the
packers had trouble and were discharged
by the firm some time ago.
