A circular is being sent out to edl-
tors in Dakota, Montana, and Washing
ton Territories By the Massachusetts
Remonstrants" which invites atten-
ton to the fact that Woman Suffrage
has suffered defeat ID some shape or
other in twelve states and territories
this season. These opponents offer
this as a reason why we should remon-
strate against the measure. a very
poor reason to our mind. If they can
offer no better we advise them to de-
sist from further effort. Because a
principle is defeated ny the nachina-
ton of politicians is no reason why
that principle sh onld be surrendered.
For many, many years was the prin-
ciple of freedom and equality agitated
and defeated before at last the black
man became legally equal to his white
master and northern advocate. All
we ask is the same liberties and privi-
leges that were accorded our black
brothers instead of the fate Of jeff
Davis, which we now enjoy(?l

A recent mum Der of The Baptist
published at Memphis, Tcnne ssee, con-
tains an able and comprehensive
argument by Judge Harral, of Mlssis-
sippi, in defense of woman suffrage.
The Judge boasts that Mississippi Was
the first state or country lns the world
to grant to women their right to hold
property Independent of their hus-
bands. The Judge says:
Where is the man of high morality
and intelligence who will deny that
married or unmarried women have
as much right, political and natural
and Biblical, to hold property in their
own individual right as men have?
And does not ordinary intelligence,
know that such q right carries along
with it the right to participate in legis-
lation for the protection of that proper
ty as well as the right under which it
is held?
Again:
If a woman should be elected presi-
dent of the United States, it would be
no more disgraceful than was the
elevation of Catharine to the throne
of Russia Maria Theresa to the con-
troll Of the Austrian empire, OR Eliza-
beth to be queen Of England. They
were able rulers. and put to shame
many king and emperor.
These are stormy words to come
from Southern Judge and to be pub
lished in a southern religious paper.

a GREAT TERRITORY.

What United States officials say who
have returned from Oklahoma but con
firms what has been reported of the
wonderful patience, good humor and
good sense exhibited by the thousands
of settlers who thronged into the terri
ieeted to all sorts of privations and an
noyances. They were in strait where
more philosophy was required than is
ordinarily exhibited by crowd of
thousands. Among the great number
were necessarily some lawless charac.
ters. Grimes were looked for. Scenes
of turbulence and violence were ex.
pected as a matter of course. There
was no blood letting. There were no
riotous demonstrations. 1t was typi-
cal-no, scarcely typical. for it must
have been an exceptionally intelligent
mass of people which went to Okla.
homa-American host. 1t was made
mp of people who could laugh.
A special agent of the Interior De
partment who reached Washington
from Oklahoma yesterday, relates n
simple incident which gives the key to
the situation in the new Territory bet
ter than'could columns of studied ex-
planation. The mob was in Guthrie.
The outlook was ugly. Bad men were
beginning to make demonstrations.
There was talk of arrests by marshals
elected by the settlers. A typical "ter-
ror' stepped out and declared him
self. He said that no such marshal
could arrest him. He even doubted if
United States Marshal could accom-
plish the feat He was distinctly
bad" The breath of the hearers
was held Was bloodshed about to be-
ginf
In the audience of hundreds stood a
small man with piping voice He
was deeply interested, He called out
in all earnestness:
Say, pardner, when did you git so
bad?'
The awful innocence of the request
the preposterOusly inquiring lsok on
the face of the quizzer was too much
The sudden reaction from apprehension
of what was rudely grave situation
manifested itself in mighty
shout n roar that might almost have
been heard outside the Territory, The
uiiian, who would have faced arevolver,
skunk away before the storm of laughter.
And after that, whenever terror pre-
pared TO declare himself" the inquiry
when did you git so bad?" was put to
him Terrorism was simply laughed
out of Guthrie. The American sense
of humor-that sense which sometimes
saves us as u nation-had been touched
and all was safe. The population of
the Territory was of the right sort.
Who shall say that Oklahoma will
not be a Territory of importance, soon
State of Importance 1t has the sort
OF eOple in IL % make a region great.

lexington, which Is now regarded as au
addition to the city of Washington, is ex-
tending its streets and sidewalks, with it's
sewer and water conveplences. A short
distance farther west Broollland has a num-
Der of new houses going up under the
shadow OF the great university buildings,
that present such an imposing appearance
FROM the growing town, which is fast devel-
oping by the aid Of nature on the beauty OF
the ornamental shade trees and handsome
grass plots, and the many new buildings
under way. Still farther west the new hotel
at Forest Glen Is fast growing toward com
pletion. The hotel, together with num-
her of cottages, which are springing up
around it, win make this romantic place
one OF the most attractive on the branch of
the b. & o. X. X.
Takoma Is not behind in its onward
march, with some twenty new houses in
progress Of erection, new churches, cleo
trio lights, new school buildings, etc.
At Knowles several buildings are under
way. Some new houses are going up at
Garrett Park and a large force Of hands
are engaged in continuing the macadamiz-
ing of the streets and planting out trees and
shrubbery.
At IIalpine's, still farther west, new
town has been laid off in streets and ave
nues, all OF which have been adorned with
shade trees by the enterprising owner.
AT Rockville number of new improve
ments are already under way and number
of others in prospect. Derwood, Washing
ton Grove and Gaithersburg have q number
Of dwellings in course OF construction, and
IL is thought from the many inquiries and
engagements for summer board by the city
people that these suburban towns will not
be able to accommodate all the applicants

He Is Fined &t5 for an Assault by
Judge Miller.

Melton Prince, one OF the best-dressed
defendants seen for some time, was In the
Police Court this morning charged with be
ing a "vug.n The charge was prosecuted
In connection with a charge Of assault on
Ruggles w. Clapp. Prince is young man.
u years old, and has been arrested ten or
fifteen times.
His father has stood by him, and was in
court to-day to appear In his sons defense.
Young Prince said that Clapp had been
drinking and used the most abusive Ian
guage, referring to his mother I'm a manner
which no man could fail TO resent, and he
struck at him with a whip. Prince was in
a carriage at the time. His father said that
he was o kind son, and that he was sup
piled with all the money he needed. His
mother made pet OF him because he was
afflicted with the habit of stammering,
Lieutenant Amiss testified that Prince was
in the habit Of associating with doubtful
characters.
In this connection the name of "Doc.n
Palmer was mentioned
"Do You know the Doctor" asked Dan
Cahill, who appeared In Princes defense.
ale is genteel mana man OF leisure.n
"l don't know about his gentilty," said
the Lieutenant, "but he Is man OF leis-
ure.n
While officer Weldon was putting him
in the cell, Prince called him vile name
and the officer struck him twice. This was
commented on to the Court In Mr.. Cahills
characteristic manner.
"Doc." Palmer took the stand and testi-
fed that Clapp had used the language re.
ferred to by Prince. AS to himself, he said
that he had an income Of $40 q month aud
wanted his character vndicated.
Judge Miller said that the proof fell
short In the charge OF yagrancy and that he
was not n believer in the doctrine that O
man could insult another and invoke the
law against his chastser. The assault
however, was proved and he would impose
fine of SIS.

Washington as "a Hunter.

(Forest and Stream.)
In the discussion Of George Washington
and his times there has been much com
pairing of the old order Of things with the
new in the political and material phases
of the country's development, and the com
parison might be carried further into the
domain of nature and the game supply
What more suggestive, for Instance, than
the record of one of Washington's hunts
when he killed five buffalo on the Little
Kanawha River in West Virginia This
reads like fiction in these days, when for
generations the buffalo has been unknown
in the East, and the bleached bones Of the
bisons of the West are gathered on the
plains and shipped by car loads to mingle
with the ship loads Of bones of Egyptians
in the mills OF fertilizer factories.

THE NEW STATES.

The result OF the elections yesterday
imthe Territories, soon to become States,
is not without interest. In the two
Dakolas the election Of two Republi.
can to one Democratic delegate to the
constitutional conventions was agreed
upon, and, consequently, in those Terri
tories there was little excitement, but In
Montana the vote was closer, though
the Republicans appear to have a small
majority. In Washington Territory
there seems an assured Republican ma.
iority. In Presidential year all four
Of the new States may be counted on
for the Republicans, unless the issue be
one on which party lines have not as
yet been drawn. OF course, all this has
been pretty generally understood, but
The drift of sentiment, as shown by the
vote, affords confirmation few astute
politicians may have needed.
