The new state of Wyoming has
adopted as part of its constitution a
female suffrage chapter, giving women
the privilege to vote at all elections
Among the qualifications required to
vote are that all electors shall be able
to read English and reside six months
in the state. The constitution also
provides for the appointment of a
state board of arbitration, to settle
differences between employers and
employees. This has proven miser-
able failure in other states and will
fare the same in Wyoming. Bills
have been passed prohibiting the en-
ployment on public works of any but
fully naturalized citizens and prohi-
biting corporations from bringing into
the state any armed police or detec
tive force unless authorized by the
legislature or by the governor, if the
legislature be not in session. The
latter act will prevent the mobilization
of Pinkerton's thugs in case OF strikes.

THOUSANDS of petitions were sent to
the last legislature, asking for the
passage of an election law which
would guarantee to the voters of
Pennsylvania a pure and honest bal
lot. When such law was before the
house of representatives Henry X.
Boyer, Republican candidate for state
treasurer, voted against it, thereby
placing himself on record as in favor
of bribery and corruption.

FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 2o, 1899

EVERY Democratic state convention
held this year invariably declared for
tariff reform and ballot reform. Those
who expected n bacldown on the po-
sition the Democrats took on the
tariff have been sorely disappointed.
1t is encouraging to see state after
state proclaiming the necessity Of
these two reforms. They are coming.

The different Republican county
conventions held so far in this state
have been series of quarrels and
disputes, the opposition to Quay being
the direct cause. Although Quay is
yet master of the field his political
prestige is on the wane. When the
Independent spirit of the Republican
party succeeds in overthrowing this
"boss," politics will be freed from one
of its most contaminating factors.

One of Minnesota's laws provided
for the inspection of cattle on the
hoof, and it was unlawful in that state
to sell beef which was not inspected
in that manner This law prohibited
the importation of dressed beef, but
on Monday it was decided unconstitu-
tional by the United States Circuit
Court, which held that this law was
in plain violation of the free trade
commercial clause of the constitution
of the United States, which provides
that congress alone shall have control
of the commerce between states, and
also in violation of the clause which
provides that the citizens OF each
State shall be entitled to all the privi-
leges and immunities of the citizens
of the several states. A bill somewhat
similar to this one was before Penn
sylvania's legislature last winter and
was defeated through the influence OF
Chicago beef companies. However,
il is Just a sample of what the high
tariff Republican states would lead
the country to do. Were such laws
constitutional the next step of each
STATE would be to levy duties of it's
own upon imports, and the United
States would soon be dis-unlted,
Free trade between the states Is the
secret of Americas success.

The mayor of Williamsport, having
learned that the money raised in Man
chester, n. H., for the Conemaugh suf-
ferers had been drawn upon, writes to
the mayor of Manchester, appealing for
a portion of the money. He says the
people of the Willamsport section have
been badly treated that their losses will
exceed $4,000 that they have re-
ceived but 100000 from the $2, 100000
donated, and that much suffering exists.

EVEN the most enterprising Ameri-
can newspapers were "beaten" by
their English contemporaries in ac-
counts of the recent storm ON the At

publishes a telegram, in which it is
stated that thirty-seyen thousand per
Sons perished by the wrecks of vessels
on the coast. A few more kilograms
of that sort would entirely depopulate

we now have it, except in tho matter of
levying taxes, as much as We could under
any form of government, and the question
of taxes has been settled for the next two
years, the Legislature lowing the budget.
Anyone who has carefully read the edi-
torlals OF the ArdldBcht can see strong
undercurrent looking TO ward primaries
and the rule Of the ward boss The Auidnche
knows that delegates to conventions are Sc
lected in this way; seldom, ii ever, is there
more than one ticket at the primaries to be
voted on; and ii this can be done at one
KIND OF election why not at another?
There then being only one candidate from
the ward TO be voted ior, why OF course
he will get the vote OF the entire city.
Possibly some Independent candidate may
run, but he will got cold comfort The
first election under the ApdldHchCS scheme
might work out all right, but look out Tor
subsequent elections, when the ward
bosses would harmonize aud sweep the
municipal platter. What has the Auldnchc
to gain by this? Its course reminds
me OF that ot man, who has
started out in life with high
ambitions, and great schemes for the adj
vancemcnt OF his fellow men; and, after a
few short years Of trial, finds out that man.
kind don't take kindly to his views and
don't think, with him, that lac is the new
Savior; disappointment claims him for her
own and he becomes selfish, and, seeing
that his schemes have amounted to naught,
seeks by beittling everybody esc's TO tear
down everything that is good and produce
a chaos, when he hopes TO say; 81 will
show you the way" and thus enlist some
thing which he never had bciore-a fol-

And His Partner, Stayner, May Got Five
Years at Sing Sing.
NEw IoRE, Feb. 27.-District Attorney
Fellows today decided TO accept the evi-
dence OF bookkeeper Woodruff against his
employers, Ives and Stayncr, and Wood
ruff will be witness for the State. lie
has been promised immunity from punish
ment provided he tells the truth.
The Grand Jury still has the case Of
Ives and Stayner before them, and will
have for some time TO come. Further in
dctmcnts against the accused are looked
for. Lawyer Frank u. Lawrence, the at
torney for the Cincinnati, Hamilton Il
Dayton Railroad, in its suit against Henry
Ives and George II. Slaynrr, had confer
ence this morning with District Attorney
FcllowS MIR. Lawrence said there was no
doubt Of the conviction of Ives and STAY
ncr on any Of the four counts of the in
diclmcnt which the Grand Jury found
against them. WoOdrun's testimony
would not be needed, but il may be used
against the iinancIcrs.
Mr.. Lawrence further said that within
the past twenty hour he had found out
that Ives and his partner had put away
considerable more money rs the result Of
their railroad transactions than was ut ilrst
thought lie did not think II amounted 10
Sl,OOO,OJO, but Il was good sized fortune.
The penalty attached 10 their cases was
from five TO ten years, 10 which fine
could bc added. lie would probably not
be associated in the criminal proceedings.
lie believed the District Attorneys Office
was fully capable Of handling tho case.
