EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
I can but admire your frank and manly
words regarding woman's rights. Iagree
with you perfectly. We either have none
or too many. At any rate this movement
must be stopped, and you are just the one
to do it.
l wish to make some inquiries about
the home mission Of which you spoke.
A worthy citizen of Great Falls says if
women are to vote, he is anxious to die
as, when that day of universal suffrage
arrives, no one but priest will hold Of
flee. On the other hand, a well-known
California clergyman attributes the athe-
istical tendencies of the present genera
tion to the irreligious mothers.
Which is right? If must be more re-
ligious, l should join a church. What
denomination would you advise me to
unite with, or is there any choice ?
Would it be unwomanly for me to make
my own selection? When my husbands $
wardrobe is in good repair and I have a
little leisure, would there lie any objec-
tion to my becoming member of mis-
sionary society? This society has officers
chosen by ballot and one might be called
upon to decide as to the advisability of
sending flannels to the heather in the in
terror of Africa, which. is long way from
my home, you know.
My children are no longer infants.
Does it make any difference what kind OF
school they attend, or can ''true woman
be interested in educational matters?
Are afternoon "teas'' which are generally
looked upon as a very mild form of dis
sipation, liable to draw ones thoughts too
much away from the simple pleasures of
home?
If my children ask who was the first
president Of these United States, what
shall l tell them, if anything? When
they go further and wish to know wheth
er Queen Victoria can be both good
woman and ruler of that empire on
which the sun never sets, how shall re-
ply?
In what shonld my daughters be in
structed-merely housework or more or
namental branches rs we'll? Would it
DC best for them to study language? If
so, how many? Milton, l believe said
tone tongue was enough for Il woman
while some men think this allowance one
too many.
With whom do you agree? Can read
and yet remain model wife and mother.
Ii your answer is in the affirmative, will
you please give me the names of few
authors and tell me where their works
can be procured? Are strue women" al
lowed to have any opinions on any sub
ject? | shall not be surprised If your
reply is ''no;" but if you should say "yes,''
what then can have opinions about and
what kind of opinions must they be?
These are only few Of the questions I
would like to ask; but if you will kindly
answer these, may send you some more
at no distant date.
Very truly yours,
AN ANXIOUS INQUIRER
T. S. 1t is SO nice to have some one to
go to on whose judgment one can rely.

PETERsBURG, June IL, 1889
The new Board OF Supervisors OF Chester
field county appeared at the county court
house Yesterday and qualified before Judge
Clopton. The old board also met yeSter-
day, but declined TO mske any increG ID
levy for 1889. their view beng that no extra
levy would be required by reason OF the
damage caused TO the bridges by the recent
iresnets. An appropriation OF $1,000 was
made for rebuilding and repairing the
bridge over Falling creek, three bridges over
Swift creek, in hst0aca district, and one
bridge over the same stream IN Dale dis
trict 1t is said that no action was taken IN
reference to BrAnder's and Brsdiey's bridges
other than a recommendation looking to the
construction OF one bridge in place OF these
two at a proper location.
The Democrats OF Chesterfield did not
elect delegates yesterday TO the state Con.
veutioD. Action viii probably be taken at
the July term OF the court. IA Will also be the
case in all or most all Of the counties In the
South-side section. And here 1t may be
stated that great interest IS felt throughout
this section in the nomination to be made Tor
Governor, and full delegations will attend
the convention. While the feeling Is gene
rally in favor OF nominating a uth-Side
man for that office, the disposition is mani
tested to nominate and support the man
deemed TO be the strongest before the PEG,
pie.
Communication has been established with
the town Of Ettrick by means OF FOOT
bridge, which has been thrown across the
river near the site OF old CampbelPs bridge.

A London cable dispatch says 1t is reported
in ST. Petersburg that during the Shsh's
visit there q secret treaty was made between
Russia and Persia for the temporary anneXa-
ton OF Northern Persia TO Russia in certain
cases. "Temporsry annexation" Is good;
and the report is far from being consistent
with the statement that the Gar was very
much incensed at the Shah, and threatened
that il the latter made concessions to England
Persia would be invaded by q hundred
thousand Russian troops. However, as
Stunning that secret treaty has been entered
into between Russia and Persia, 1t is safe to
predict that before the Shah leaves LONDON
the British Government VIII know all about
the treaty, and will also conclude an agree
ment With NASsRED-DIN for anneXing tenn
porarily Persian territory. When Russia
anuexes Northern Persia British troops will
probably not be far from the Russian line.

The ifdlic cases in the newspaper offices OF

lands had denreciated in value while city
property had increased In value. This dis.
coycry agrees with the facts In Virginia
The Rules.

The Providence journal, always fair and
always conservative. says OF the rules Of the
national House OF representatives..
"Tbe incoming House will be bound by
no rules OF procedure except the common
parliamentary laws until 1t adopts rules OF
It's own or formally accepts those OF It's pre-
decessor."
eft IL In the highest degree undesirable
that sny thing like a partisan contest should
be made over this question OF changing the
rules. IL happens Just at present that
amendments looking TO the prevention OF
especially and In one sense cripple the
Democrats"
We concur In the opinion that the new
House will not be bound by the rules adopted
by the old House. But the new House will
be bound by a rule laid down In the Federal
Constitution itseli-to wit, that two fifths OF
the members present shall always have the
power TO cause the yeas and nays to be en-.
tered upon the journal OF the House-that IL,
whether the Speaker thinks there Is quo.
rum or not. two fifths OF the members have
the right TO demand that the Journal shall
show that there is quorum present.
Filibusterlng is Objectionable. Mr.. WEA-
YER iatigued us last winter with his
obstructive tactics. But there are other
things much worse than filibustering. IL Is a
question Of lie and death with the southern
people for II the rules be altered so as to
enable the House OF Representatives to pass
q bill giving the control OF all southern
congressional elections TO Republican psrti-
sans the South will sink to rise no more In
the political ocean. She would be degraded.
Her voice would not be the voice OF Cau-
casisu. but the voice OF Negro. She would
be Inundated as even Ireland has never
been Inundated. The Providence Journal
warns Mr.. RANDALL that he must not lead
the filibusters, but be will lead them not
withstanding. A southern mau would be
objected to by the FoRAKERs, the CHAMBERS,
and such cattle.
There need be no delay In the organiza-
ton OF the House OF Representatives unless
the Republicans insist upon securing an ad-
vantage to which they are not entitled. Let
Mr.. MCKINLEY, Mr.. READ, Mr.. BURROWS,
MIR. CANNON, and the other leaders OF
the Republican party give the Democrats
such assurances as can be trusted that the
rules are not TO be perverted TO the injury
or oppression OF the Democratic party,
and the new House eau soon be organized.
But a new Speaker must not be allowed to
be elected until all these preliminaries are
settled. The Republicans have warned US
that they want an oculate Spesker-one who
can glance at the House and decide that
there is a quorum present though fifty men,
bers insist upen it that there is not quo>
rum present Experience tells the Demo
Gratis not to trust the men who passed the

whites for years under the feet OF the me-
gIoes.
