WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

Hamilton Wilcox has done n great
work for the cause OF woman's suffrage
by the publication of pamphlet in
which he shows that il is an accom-
plished fact within li,000,00O square miles
of the worlds territory and relating to
nearly 800, 100000 Of its population. He
shows that in Iceland and the Isle Of Man
and Pitcairne Island women have full sui-
rage. In the British colonies of New Yea
land, Victoria, New South Wales, Queens
land and South Australia they enjoy uni
versal suffrage, as they also do in the
Presidcncies Of Madras and Bombay, and
in the rural districts OF British Burma. In
the Asiatic dominions OF Russia where
the "AIir" or eltgoverning villages ex-
list, women who are heads Of house
holds vote. In England, Scotland,
Ireland, Wales, Sweden, Russia, Austria,
Hungary, Croatia, Dalmatia, Italy and
Finland, some form Of woman suffrage is
found, ranging from the full electoral
vote in Finland TO the proxy vote in
Hungary. In this country women enjoy
school suffrage in twenty-four of the
States and Territories, and in the State OF
Kansas aud in Washington Territory enjoy
full suffrage and the right TO hold Office.
In the Dominion OF Canada women vote
in the Province Of Ontario (uncss mar.
ried) on like terms with men for all elected
officers save two. In New Brunswick aud
British Columbia women vote for all
elective officers but members Of Parlia-
mcnt. In the Province OF Quebec women
vote in some Of the cities No better
proof Of the advance Of the world toward
the ultimate Of freedom could be given
than is this relation Of woman's elevation
TO be mans hclpmeet in self-government.

She is SURF to train them to the vigorous

thing In the direction Of liberty for women.

SENATOR CREws, unless he is as ignorant
and obtuse as some OF his enemies say he
is, must know very well that the County
Convention that nominated and instructed
him for Harris,.was packed convention
in the interest Of the senior Senator"
and that the result Of the election in No
vember was not triumph for that distin-
guished functionary. 1t was vindication
of President Cleveland and the Dem
ocratic party's platform and policies,
which TnE APPEAL supported with all its
strength. We know that the Harris fac
ton also Boosted Of lIadden's support on
that account, but even that could not have
been much, as the President of the Taxing
District was not able, in ticklish emer-
gency few months before, to save him
self. The APPEAL did, though. Politics
is politics, Mr.. Crews, and facts are facts.

The suggestive Burnett-St. Claire
case was continued yesterday in the
municipal court. The prosecution
dence against the house kept by Madam
st. Claire through the testimony of
Police Officer Hickman and neighbors
who had all seen goings-on there
that tended to show the house was one
OF lll-fame. One of the neighborS testi-
fed to seeing woman dance the can
can in the house, he standing on the
other side of the street. One of the
officers saw Madam st. Claire come out
of Burnett's room before the raid.
Part of her clothing was found
there. Attorney Baxter, for the
defense, tried to secure dismissal,
but failed, and then introduced testi-
mony for the defense. Nine. st. Clair.
or Mrs. Simonsen, went on the stand,
ing rooms and taking in babies TO nurse.
Preacher Burnett had lived in the house
ever since she had been there. The
night of the raid she merely stepped
down stairs to look after one of her
charges, and then went into
the professors room to wash
her hands. Obediah was called
and took the stand accompanied by his
umbrella. He gave the house good
character, and was sure the people in it
were pure. Other witnesses testified to
the same effect, but not in very con-
vincing manner, as the court found
both guilty of being found in house of
iil-fame. Sentence was not pronounced
yesterday. Mrs. Burnett has been no
titled to appear if she wishes to prose-
cute her husband for adultery.

The water works committee, at It's

RINGER reported that the North side
station was competent to supply water

amount guaranteed. The comptrOller's

water department for the first three
