GOOD COMMON SENSE.

Mrs. James Burnett, of Rich
mond, Kentucky, writes:
Great and terrible crimes are
being perpertrated throughout the
length and breadth of this land, in
the sight of its men and women,
which must excite the indignation
Of a righteous God, if he had the
heart of a stone, instead of having,
as he has, a heart SO tender that
He counts the very hairs, of the
head of His children, because they
are SO precious in His sight.
What then shall American women
do in view of this condition of
things? Shall we pray day and
night to the God Of justice to
avenge us over our adversaries, as
DR.. Bushnell advises?
I answer, No.
If in answer to our prayers,
God should execute justice, upon
whose heads would the fire from
heaven descend? Upon the
fathers. brothers and husbands of
American women, who after pro-
claiming in the ear of all the
peoples of the earth, that no class
Of persons can be protected by
law, in life, liberty and property in
the United States, without the
ballot in its hands, have yet
extended the ballot to all classes
of men, and withheld it from every
class of women, when women from
lack of physical strength are more
dependent than any other class OF
persons upon the law for the pro-
lection of life, liberty and property.
When our revolutionary fathers
refused Or neglected to protect
women in what they called the
God-given right to vote, females
were not SO dependent upon their
ability to place and remove public
officers, for legal protection, as
they are now.
In the early days of this Repub-
lie only limited number of men,
and some women were allowed to
vote, and one class of the people
are always ready and willing to
punish the crimes committed by
another class; but now all Amer
lean men have been reduced to
one class by the extension of the
ballot to every sane adult male
person unconvicted of crime, and
our public officers can not protect
female persons against these voters
unless women have votes with
which to retain them in office
when they perform their duty.
Let not American women pray
the God Of justice to avenge US
over our adversaries. The women
are not innocent of the blood of
those girls, who as DR.. Bushnell
tells US, despairing of all legal
protection, have taken their own
lives in self defense. We know
that God has said that it is not
good for the man to be alone, and
that he made the woman to help
the man, and the great majority of
the women of this country have
sense enough TO know that men
will not make and enforce laws to
punish themselves for crimes they
commit against defenceless girls.
Let US American women not
pray God for justice even, but for

Governor Rusk's chances for a
call into Presidents Harrison's
cabinet seem to have taken a new
and hopeful turn. There is no
division Of sentiment among the
Republicans of the state on the
subject and whether he gets a
place or not he will certainly get
the unqualified Endorsement of
everybody of any influence among
his partisans. If the same unani-
nifty had existed from the begin
ming it can hardly be doubted that
his prospects now would be far
brighter, However, it is strongly
believed in we'll informed circles
that his chances are very good
indeed, even as things are now.

No matter how deliberately a lady
may be attired, there are certain
little finishing touches which are
indispensable to a really an tai1
appearance, and the neglect OF
such are most displeasing to the
critical eye. On the other hand
when due attention is paid to these
minor matters, even a garment Of
plain material and plainly made is
SO "set off, by them as to render
the wearer dressed" despite the
plainness. We allude to those
very necessary articles, of which
we give few sample prices:

Three bills affecting Wisconsin
River, introduced by Robert
Connor of Wood, have passed to
third reading. One authorizes
Thomas E. Nash to build toll
bridge across the Wisconsin
River at Grand Rapids, another
authorizes Mr.. Nash to erect a
dam across the river in township
2I, north of range No. 5 east, and
the third amends law of 1853,
which authorized Luther Hanchett
to maintain a dam. 1t is now
thought by some of those who
have been on the lookout for a
bill affecting the logging interests
at Tomahawk, that none will be
introduced.

AGAINST THE TRUST.

The Sugar Trust Receives Black Eye
From Judge Barrett.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Action was
begun by Attorney General Tabor for the
forfeiture and dissolution Of the charter Of
the North River Sugar Refining Co., which
had exceeded its powers and franchises by
becoming member of the Sugar Trust.
Judge Barrett's opinion is the most eX-
haustive one and probably the most inn
portant ever written upon the subjects Of
trusts and mOropolies. Barrett summon
ed the counsel of both sides before him,
aud the jurors whose duty IL was to
merely formally render O verdict in ac-
cordance With the decision Of the
court. The defendants counsel took
exception to the ruling Of the Court. Judge
Barrett says: "It did rot require an astute
mind that prepared this most original in
stTument to perceive that an aggregation
Of partnerships with dangers resulting from
death, and exercise OF individual power
would never effect safe and permanent
cohesion. Accordingly We find as one Of
the iiIst provisions of the deed and as basis
Of the so-called trust, structure, a c)ndi-
tion in Substance that plrtnerehips shall
all be turned into corporations. This Is a
fact, was done and several Of these corpora
tions were organized for the express pur-
pose of creating the very shares Of capital
stock through which q combination WAS to
be formed. The partners took on corpora
tion garb, became shareholders and az
such fitted themselves to enter into COM
bination with the terms Of the deed.

Coast Defensss.

Coast Defensss.
LONDON, January 9.-Lord SAlisbury's
oracular utterances concerning the coast
defenses of Eugland would have created a
more profound impression had they con-
tanned any hint as 10 the course 10 be pur-
sued by the War Department and the Ad-
miralty in adding to their efficiency.
1t is supposed that the head Of such n
great gun manufacturing establishment
as the Armstrong was not wholly disin-
terested in demanding Of the Premier
what preparations, if any, were in con-
temptation to repel the invasion which

nervous English patriot, but there IS a
feeling that the land defenses have been
neglected, owing TO too great confidence
in the navy. The miuor officers Of the lat
ter who have not influence enough to OBJ
tain active employment derived little en-
couragement from the fact that additions
are constantly being made TO the marine
force, for nearly a corresponding number
of ironclads are finding their way to the
scrap-heap, and the only solace of the Ad-
miraliy is that some Of the past blunders
have been avoided in the vessels now in
course of construction.
