SENATORIAL COURTESY.

The old fight is to be renewed. We
refer to the fight ROSCOE CoNKLING in
augurated, and which terminated so
disastrously to his power as politician.
He made the issue against the GAR
FIELD administration that the United
States senate was more powerful fac
tor in the matter of appointments than
the executive, and he lost the battle.
Although CONKLING went down in dis
graceful defeat, the cause for which he
struggled still lives. and will continue
to live as long as the senate remains
body of plutocrats. Those who hold
seats in that body to-day are firmly of
the opinion that it is at least courtesy
the president owes to a senator to con-
suit him about appointments from his
own state, and to be in the main guided
by the senator's Judgment. Whether it
is the result of Mr.. BLAINE'S influence,
or whether it is because of his indiyid-
ual convictions on the subject, the pres
ident ignores the senatorial claim. and
proceeds to make appointments without
regard to the wishes of senators. A
notable example of independent exec
utive action was his appointment of
postmaster at Philadelphia, where the
appointment was made over the protest
of both of the Pennsylvania senators.
Another example was the selection of
Superintendent MONTGOMERY, of Chi
cago, without SO much as mentioning
the matter to the two Illinois senators.
Somehow or other, Gen. HARRISON and
Mr.. BLAINE have got into their heads.
just as Gen. GARFIELD and Mr..
B LAME did, that between them they
are running this administration. and
that about the only use they have for
the United States senate is to have that
body confirm what they agree upon
without caviling over it.
When the next congress meets the
country is likely to be treated to a gen.
uine sensation in the attempt made by
the senate to discipline the president
and his premier. The interim between
now and the assembling of the next
congress will be employed by the dis
gruntled senators in organizing their
attack upon the administration. when
the fight i'll defense of senatorial court
esy is to be fought to a finish. QUAY
and CAMERON and the two Illinois SEN
atorS have too much at stake in the
matter of controlling federal patronage
i'll their respective states to submit
tamely to the repeated snubs they are
now receiving from this administration.

FEMALE SUFFRAGISTS.


mental ground of the nation. seems to
have settled the question satisfactorily
to its own people. At the municipal
elections in that state last week over
forty thousand female Suffragists APP
peared at the polls and deposited their
ballots. No other issue than decent
municipal government was presented,
and the accepted explanation of the
large female vote is that the women of
Kansas fully appreciate the dignity
which has been conferred upon them.
Those who are interested in the eX-
pertinent of female suffrage will be in
terested in knowing how the women
behaved themselves at the polls in the
late Kansas elections, and what kind of
tickets they voted. In Topeka, Leav-
enworth and Fort Atchison the white
women voted almost solidly for the Dem
ocratic candidates, Notwithstanding the
fact that in LeayenwOrth the notorious
Col. DAN ANTHONY, brother of SUSAN
B., headed the Republican ticket. With
the aid of the women voters the Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor showed Col.
DAN under by 700 majority. In Oska-
loosa, Rossville and Cottonwood Falls the
entire city government passed into the
hands of the women.
At most of the polling places the
women displayed more enthusiasm than
the men, not only going to the polls and
working, but manyof the most influential
had their carriages running all day,
bringing in numbers of their less hap
PLY circumstanced sisters who only
needed the incentive of rapid transit to
make them good citizens. 1t was no
ticeabIe that the sblack vOte'' needed
more transportation than the pale-faceS.
AT each polling place partition sep
arated the men and the women as they
deposited their ballots. The concurrent
testimony of those who made critical
observation of the methods of the two
sexes is that the women seemed to be
more impressed with the responsibility
of their act, and scrutiniZed their tick
cts carefully before passing them
through the window. In many in
stances they produced pencils and
scratched the tickets, and then with
charming frankness handed them in
unfolded. Occasionally band of three
or four ladies well known in society cir
cles could be seen at little
distance from the polling place, engaged
in earnest conversation with some sis
ter who had not made up her mind as to
how she ought to vote; but as rule she
was converted before they left her.
Many cases of husband and wife
voting oppositely are cited in refu-
tation of the assertion that women
are largely influenced by their hus-
bands. A number of instances are
reported where husbands were induced
to change their votes on election day
through the arguments of their better
halves.
Judging from the tone Of the Kansas
press, the opponents of the woman suf-
frage movement in that state have given
up the fight, and cOncede that it is
there to stay. 1t is generally admitted
that it has not had the demoralizing
effect that was anticipated, or that the
vote two years ago indicated.

THEDAKOTA SUFFERERS.

kilograms received yesterday from
the special agent sent by Mayor SMITH
to South Dakota confirm all the reports
we had of the suffering that existed in
certain counties of the new state on ae-
count of the losses from the prairie
fires. Quite number of families are
entirely destitute, and the situation is
one which appeals strongly and urgent
ly to the charitable instincts of our peo-
pie. Owing to the lack of sufficient
attendance of the members of the city
council at the special meeting Tuesday
night. an appropriation of money out of
the city treasury could not be made; but
the members present, constituting a
majority of the council, pledged the
faith of the city to make good any rea-
sonable amount that might be required.
As there is no time for delay, the thing
t. be done is for the jobbers to go down
into their pockets and advance the
amount that is necessary, and look to
the city for reimbursement. Let the
fund be raised Immediately and placed
at the disposal of the mayor for distri-
button.

CHASED AND FIRED ON.
A Merchant Vessel Attacked by
Dominican Man.of-War.

New YORK, April 10.-Capt. Stubs,
of the schooner Carrie A.
Buchanan, which arrived to-
day from San Domingo City,
reports that on March 81, when off
SaOna island at about noon he sighted
vessel steaming toward his vessel from
the laud, then distant six or eight
miles. The craft proved to be DOM
inican war vessel. She laid her course
to intercept the Buchanan, but could
not do so owing to the strong breeze
then prevailing and fell astern half or
three quarters of a mile. When
nearly in the schooner's wake, much to
he surprise of the crew, she fired
shot which struck the water only
a few yards from the Bucknam's stern.
She then gave chase, but with good
strong breeze, the schooner soon dis
tanced her. After keeping up the
chase for about two hours she gave
it up and putting about steamed for the
land. She was a lOW-raking, three
masted steamer of about 500 tons bur-
then, apparently of French or Spanish
men. What her errand was can
only be conjectured, as the Buchanan
was far outside of their jurisdiction and
on the high seas, where they could
have no legitimate right to over
haul her. The Dominican flag was
flying at the highest peak at the
time, it having been hoisted as soon as
the steamer was made out to be war
vessel. Capt. Stubs says nothing was
heard by the Buckman's crew
of this vessel, or Of the rebellion
at st. Domingo city. The better
class of people there hesitate to speak
their minds even to foreigners. They
no doubt are afriad of compromising
themselves.

TO EVANGELIZE FRANCE,
Meeting of the American McA1l
Association at PhiiadeInhia


Association at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1O.-The sixth
annual meeting OF the American McAll
association was opened in the first
Baptist church, Broad and Arch streets
to-day. There were about 200 ladies
present. the majority of whom are
delegates from the various auxiliaries
scattered throughout the country. After
the roll call of delegates, the committees
on nomination of officers, devotional eX-
erciseS, resolutions and enrolment of
delegates were named. Mrs. James A.
Garfield, first vice president of the associ-
alton, sent letter stating her inability
to be present, and the secretary was in
structA to reply expressing regret at
her abSsflce. The McAll society holds
its annual meeting in cities where it
has been invited. 1t has already met in
Washington, Springfield, Mass, BalJi-
more and Brooklyn. Mrs. r. B. Hayes,
was its first president, with Mrs. J. A.
Garfield as vice president, which place
the latter still holds. At the end of the
year Mrs. Hayes declined reelection,
and Mrs. Marie j. Chase was elected,
and has held the Office ever since.
The work of the association is the evan
gelization of France. 1t aims partic-
ularly to reach the working classes,
Its yearly receipts amount to something
over $4,000. 1t has twenty-seven vice
presidents representing the different
states, and has SiXty-five auXiliaries CO..
operating with it. The board of direct
orS numbers twelve, all of whom, eX-
cept four, reside in Philadelphia, where

A man named LYNDE, in New York
city, has been sent to the penitentiary
one year for receiving a bride for his
vote at the last election. There is just
popular approval of his sentence. but
why should not the men who furnished
the money to bride with, knowing that
there was no lawful use for such
amounts, share the condemnation of
the weak fellow whose virtue could not
resist S. or $40? Of course. the good
WANAMAKER would not be caught in
so small transaction, but if he had not
raised 100000 for the corruption of the
suffrage, would he now be able to warn
his Philadelphia Sunday school of the
need of integrity in public servants,
from official observation?

big damage suit against railroad
has been commenced in Clinton county.
j. FL. Flanagan, formerly of the carriage
building firm of Flanagan &c Calnan,
while travelling ON the Baltimore 81
Ohio railroad in the East last fall was
badly injured. He has now begun suit
against the company for S25,0O0 dam
ages. Although the Baltimore & Ohio
is not doing business in this county, the
suit was begun here. 1t is in the form
of an attachment suit, and the Chicago

and Burlington, Cedar Rapids 81 North
ern have been garniSheed, and must de-
liver over any property of the Baltimore

possession. This means that any freight
cars of the road coming in here
can be stopped, although it is
probable some arrangements will
be made to avoid any such
contingency. The Baltimore & Ohio
being corporation belonging in an

will be taken to the federal court, and

THREADMAKERs' STRIKE.

One Hundred and Twenty Men
and Boys at Newark Walk Out.
NEWARK, N. j., April 1O.-One
hundred and twenty men and boys en-
ployed IN Clark's o. n. T. thread works
in East Newark went on strike this
morning against Is per cent reduction
in wages. Forty of the men are the
spinners employed in the factory,
in Kearney, and the others are their
helpers, who are known as piecers and
creelers. There was no reduction in
the pay of the helpers, and they were
not obliged to quit, but did so, lest they
be compelled to take the spinners'
helping. Mr.. Clark says that the strike
will not affect operations in the
least. '.All hands will be kept
at work, and the mills will run
on full time. There is yarn enough on
hand to run four weeks, and by that
time we will have received all we re-
quire from our mills in Paisley, Scot
land. The spinnerS can stay out year
if they like, or they can come back at
the reduced wages. They were receiv-
ing more than they should have
received in Justice to those
employed at the Newark mills,
and we were simply leveling them
down. In England spinners' wages are
SS per week, while here our men have
been averaging $19.25 per week on the
piece plan. and some make $40 and S21
per week." The strikers give differ
ent version of the matter. They say
that in the East Newark or Kearney
mills they have 800 more spindles to
care for than the Newark operatives,
and can therefore earn more than in the
Newark mill.
