Since the Kemper County outrages
in Mississippi there has been lull in
the bloody business OF killing unof-
Tending negroes, but the horrible work
now seems to have broken out afresh
in that section. The Starkville (Miss }
Times contains the details of the kill
ing of d. H Smith. negro labor
agent, whose only offense was the en-
gagement Of laborers near Artesia for
Arkan sas planters. The cOwardly mob
followed him up and without warning
shot him in the back. An inquest was
held and the jury in its verdict speci-
fed by name all those who were con-
cerned in the dastardly deed. but at
last accounts no one was arrested, and
1t is safe to say no one will be. though
We are treated to the customary assur-
ance that 1.-THE people Of Artesia and
vicinity as law-abiding citizens no

The Jasper Eagle contains the de-
tails of another atrociOus crime. A
man named l. r. Smith, protesting to
be detective from Aberdeen. arrested
an innocent negro near Jasper, who,
he claimed, was wanted for completely
in a recent murder. He was allowed
to take the negro away with him, car
rying him off into the woods and cutting
off one of his ears, which he proposed to
carry to Birmingham and offer as evil
dence to secure the reward which had
been declared. After doing this he de-
liberately shot the negro and left him.
The victim dragged himself to tho
nearest house and died there, but not
before he had told his dreadful story
and proved that he was not the muir
derer for whom the reward had been
offered. We are also informed in this
case that public sentiment will demand
the arrest and punishment of Smith,
but beyond the fact that the public
were vastly amused at his claiming a
reward by the exhibition of his vic

THE PRACTICAL COURSE.

How to Proceed to Procure the Enamel
patton of Woman.
In a recent letter to Mrs. Stone, Hon.
George William Curtis wrote as fol.
lows:
1t is more than twenty years since
moved in the Constitutional Convention
of New York that the word male
should be stricken from the suffrage
section. The vote upon the proposition
was interesting as an expression OF
opinion. Among those who supported
it in committee of the whole were the
late Sanford E. Church and the late
Charles j. Folger. But upon this ques-
ton they had few followers. The JUS
ice of proposition. however, is not
determined BY vote, and l have never
seen any reason to change my opinion
that the change would be wise, nor to
doubt that it will one day be made.
The proposition encountered no seri-
GUS argument, partly, undoubtedly, be-
cause argument was not felt to be nee
essary, but mainly because it does not
exist Every change in the restrictive
laws regarding women is an acknowl-
edgment OF the justice of the demand
for equal suffrage. The case was con-
coded when they became property
holders, and taxpayers in their own
right. In every way their interest in
society is the same as that of men, and
the reason for their voting in school
meetings is conclusive for their voting
upon the appropriation of other taxes
which they pay.
There can be little doubt, l suppose,
that general demand for the suffrage
upon the part of women would secure
it. But l can not deny the obvious
fact that the feeling among women is
not general enough or strong enough
to produce that demand. This fact, Of
course, does not affect the justice of
the demand, but it serves and will con-
tinue to serve as an excuse for mac
ton. The practical course, therefore,
it seems to me, is to continue to appeal
to women. 1t is not necessary to argue
that the concession of suffrage would
be fair and logical, because that is not
disputed; but it is indispensable to per-
suade women to desire it and to de-
mand it The laxity of interest on the
part of many women is not indeed a
valid reason for denying the suffrage to
those who do desire it. But unhappily
it is found to be satisfactory pretext.
Your example, dear madame. in the
constant and convincing public pres
entation of the question might well in
spire others. If all American women
were like you, the laws would author
ize them to vote for the nextPresident

What Is Demanded of Women That L. Not
Demanded of Men.
One OF the most marked characters
tics of modern life, says the Boston
Courier is the enormous increase
which it makes in its demands upon
women. 1t has always been true from
the dawn of civilization. that the role
OF women in society and in life has been
more intricate. although less broad,
than that of men. 1t has always been
asked at the hands OF women that they
should be Thousand times more flexi-
BILE than men; that they should adapt
themselves to a hundred conditions
which men ignored or scorned, and
that they play in the drama of life a
score OF parts to every one which was
undertaken by their fathers. and
brothers and sons As life has con-
stantly grown more and more complex,
this difference between the sexes has
increased rather than diminished Life
to-day demands of a woman more
changes in day than a man is re-
quired to compass in month. She
must, from moment to moment, be one
thing after another. the wife,
the mother. the woman OF society,
the leader in reforms. sharer
in this work of charity, and that
labor of intellectual progress, until it is
q miracle that she is able to do any OF
the multitudinous duties imposed upon
her. OF course, in great measure,
this is due. to the fact that women will
accept these burdens. Men escape
much by the simple method of refusing
to take it upon them. 1t is idle to ex-
pect men to bend to all changes with
which women cucumber their lives, and
SO the lives of men remain more simple
than those of the other sex. Women
are, as rule, sufficiently well able to
oppose their wills to personal opposi-
ton, but the women are few and far to
seek who are capable of standing out
against circumstances Perhaps the
difference is that a man argues with
himself and is satisfied with his conclu-
sious. while q woman must argue with

Cleveland Administration.
The New York Sun has been making
some comparisons of rather an odious
sort to its own political party. 1t has
compiled and published q list of
the appropriations granted by Con-
gress during each of the administra-
tions from Grant down to Cleveland,
both inclusive, as follows:
Forty-third Congress Grant. s3D2, 1ae 6as
Forty-fourth Congress-Grsnt....... 2l2,4.S 993
Forty-ffth Congress-Hayes... S35,077.4 22

Forty-seventh Congress Garfield
Forty-eiehth Con9ress.Arthur. ss0S.SiS
Forty ninth Congress-Cleveland... 402, sos 2s3
Fiftieth Congress-Cleveland.... So, S64, 239
The Sun calls particular attention to
the fact clearly in sight in the above
list Of figures. that the approprla-
tons by the two Congresses that sat
during Cleveland's administration
were nearly twice as great as the two
Congresses in Grants second term"
The Tribune would call particular at
tention to the fact that the appropria-
tions by the Fiftieth Congress, under
Cleveland, were $73, 652, 548 more than
those of the Forty-third and Forty
fourth Congresses under Grant

CHORUS.
THE MARRIAGE SYSTEM.

A Better Law Demanded for the Govern
ment of Husbands and Wives.
My theory of marriage in its relation
to society would give this postulate,
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Husband and wife are one. and that one
is-husband and wife. / believe they
will never come to the heights of purity,
of power and peace for which they were
designed in Heaven, until this better
law prevails:
1.-TWO heads in council, two beside the hearth,
Two in the tangled business of the world,
Two in the literal Offices Of life:
Two plummets dropped to sound the abyss Of
science
And the secrets of the mind"
Poets are prophets. and the greatest
poet OF our time has set the goal before
us only to be gained
''when reign the worlds great bridalA
Chaste and calm"
One-half the world for the wife-an
undivided half apiece for wife and hus-
band; co-education to mate them on
the plane of mind, equal property
rights to make her Gods own free
woman. not coerced into marriage for
the sake of support, or a bond-slave
after she is married, who asks her
master for the price of a paper Of pins
and gives him back the change, or, If a
petted favorite, owing her lease of
purse wholly to his will and never to
her right; free to so her honored and
self-respecting way as maiden per-
petuo rather than marry man whose
deterioration through alcohol and
nicotine habits is a deadly menace to
herself and the descendants that such a
marriage must have invoked-these
are the outlooks of the future that shall
make the marriage system, never a
failure since it became monogamic, an
assured, a permanent, a paradisaical
success.
In that day the wife shall surrender
at marriage no right not equally sur
rendered by the husband-not even her
own name. Emile OLIVER, that keen
sighted writer of France, says that It is
so much cas- er, for obvious reasons, to
trace ancestry along the mothers line,
that historic records have intellectually
suffered by the arbitrary relinquish-
ment of her name. Probably the French
have hit upon the best expedient: the
union of the two. Thus / recall that
in Paris my home was with an accom-
plished lady whose maiden name was
Farjon and whose husbands was Per-
rot. her visiting-card bearing the in
scription, Madame Byzantine Perrot-
Farjon." The growing custom. in this
country at least, to give the mothers
name to son or daughter indicates
the increasing, though perhaps uncon-
scious, recognition of woman as an
equal partner in the marriage sacra-
ment and compact. But the tendency,
even among men of intelligence, to
sign themselves, John Jones, wife,

The time will come when the mothers
