equal suffrage In its constitution by

am glad to see that the W. G. T.
U. of Iowa has determined to ask for
municipal suffrage for women, and
hope that in the comparative quiet
that usually follows the establish
ment of a new presidential admins
tration, petitions for the municipal
ballot may be the order of the day in
all our states, with Kansas and its
great success there as our leverage.
We do not realize what that staunch
commonwealth of veteran reformers
has accomplished for us by making
good our two-fold claim, a thousand
times asserted and denied, first, that
good women will vote; secondly,
that women as class will vote
against whatever the liquor dealers
gamblers, and Lotharios desire.
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1889-11-30

In her address at the sixteenth
annual meeting of the National W.
G. T. IT,, at Chicago, Miss Willard
thus referred to the question of wom-
ans ballot:
Our politicians would do we'll to
study the history of Pilates wife.
She is the only woman mentioned in
the most famous trial on the globe,
and, except its divine central Figure,
she is the only person whose relation
to that trial was not one of everlast-
ing disgrace and wickedness. To be
sure, she was politically counted out,
had no voice in the legislation; in
deed, was not even a witness, and
could only report dream to her un-
needing husband; but those earnest
words, "Have thou nothing to do
with that just mani" have sent their
clear tones down the ages, as re-
minder to men of the keener moral
discernment and higher spirituality
of the help that is meet to be with
them.
The tendency never set so strongly
as now toward an educational test in
voting. The Australian ballot sys-
TEN indirectly favors this; also the
constitutions of the new States and
those now forming, as discussed and
some of them as enacted. This edu-
cational qualification lifts the whole
movement to plane of thought
most advantageous to us, disarms
the difficulty of "the purchasable
VOTE" "the foreign vote" 'the ig-
norant vote,' and stands as finger
board pointing from the path of dan
ger into that Of deliverance.
The next step will be compulsory
voting-that fine shall be assessed
on every soul of man and woman
who does not vote. This will help to
bring out the "remonstrant" section
of the human family, and the "poli-
tics-is beneath : my notice" men.
Then, with the Kansas law forbidding
any but the actually voting citizen to
be within one hundred feet of the
polls, and the Australian system pre-
venting bribery and fraudulent bal
lots, we shall have our first fair
chance to prove that ''you can, in
the long run, trust all the knowledge
in community to take care of all its
ignorance; all the virtue in a COM
munity to take care of all its vice."

Mrs. Palmer's Meetings.

The meetings of Mrs. Annie M.
Palmer, superintendent of evange-
listic work of the N. w. C. t. e.,
now being held in our city, are of a
most interesting and excellent char
acter. Her expositions of scripture
and the application of its teachings
to the cause of temperance are ex-
ceedingly apt and suggestive. The
writer has listened to several of
these readings and never listened to
any with greater pleasure or profit.
On Friday evening she discussed
the leprosy of Naaman and the liquor
leprosy, and did it WELL On Satur-
day evening she showed how ardent
spirits are Satan's instrument for
debasing, as the Holy Spirit is Gods
instrument for exalting mankind.
On Sabbath morning she showed how
the temperance movement and
the employment of women in it, is as
penticostal work as was the work of
Peter and his associates at Pentecost,
or of Finney and Others later. In
the afternoon her discourse on
"Faith" showed conclusively that
Noah in building the ark, Abraham
in seeking another country, Moses in
crossing the Red Sea, and Joshua in
marching down the walls of Jericho,
were no more under the guidance of
God than are the women and temper
ance people of the land today in their
determination to exterminate the
liquor traffic. On Monday evening
she dwelt upon consecration-that
God wants set-apart people. There
are too few of this sort. The popu-
lar creed runs about thus:
|. Ministers and deacons must,
of course, be irreproachable.
2. Women must be purer than
men. F
3. OF two evils you must choose
the least. "-". ''"
4. So long as conscious does not
hurt me in what l do it's all right.
5. If it doesn't happen to be all
right | shall have some chance later
or hereafter to make it so.
No warrant for such positions,
nevertheless, hundreds in the church
and out of it subscribe to such a
creed.

Professor Huxley on Faith.

may have the most absolute faith
that o friend has not committed the
crime of which he is accused. In the
early days of English history, if my
friend could have obtained few more
compurgators of like robust faith, he
would have been acquitted At the
present day, if l rendered myself as a
witness on that score, the judge would
tell me to stand down, and the young
est barrister would smile at my sim
plicity. Miserable indeed is the man
who has not such faith in some of his
fellow men-only less miserable than
the man who allows himself to forget
that such faith is not, strictly speak
ing, evidences; and when his faith is
disappointed, as will happen now and
again, turns Timon and blames the
universe for his own plumbers. And
SO, if man can find q friend, the by
postasis of all his hopes, the mirror of
his ethical ideal, in the Jesus of any,
or all, of the Gospels. let him live by
faith in that ideal. Who shall or can
forbid him2 But let him not delude
himself with the notion that his faith
is evidence of the objective reality of
that in which he trusts. Such evil
dence is to be obtained only by the

Crime in Paris.

A species of crime which is increas-
ing daily is that styled drama d'amour.
1t was Chambige, the sorry hero OF
the Algerian tragedy, who set the ball
rolling, and now his example is being
followed by no end of disappointed
lovers. Here again the cause is mainly
due to the clemency of both juries
and judges. The press, too, has much
to answer for Such is the condition
of public morals that fashionable
writers do not hesitate to treat these
offenders as martyrs to their affec-
ton" They are pitied, and, in fact,
almost petted, and eXtenuating cir
cumstances are voted them unani-
mously. Today we have another case
of young soldier running away from
his regiment in the company of con-
cert hall beauty, and blowing out his
brains after having shot her through
the heart.
prit did justice to himself, but had he
only wounded himself like Chambige,
he would individually have got off
with little oryno punishment. Love
or what is called such-is made to
cover q multitude of sins; and the veri-
est scamp who pretends to have lost
his heart is apotheosized like hero.
Morbid sentimentality is the vogue of
the moment. 1t is played on the stage
and pictured in novels. Everybody is
affected with it, and under its bane-
full sway the sacred ties which form
the foundation of virtue and morality
are being swept away. No wonder,
then, the ''love tragedy" has become
quite fad, and the heads of school
boys and girls-not to mention adults,
who ought to know better-are being
turned topsy turvy But if the law
were enforced as its makers intended it
to be, speedy improvement would un-
uuestionably ensue.-London Globe.

One of the Seven Richest Men,

The Chinese minister is u mandarin
of such high rank that ne stands fifth
only from the emperor, and rumor has
it that he is one of the seven richest
men in the world, the seven icluding
the famous Rothschilds. His jewels
are magnificent, and it is a well known
fact that he was one of the heavy pur-
chasers when the imperial regalia of
France was broken up and sold. He
is man of middle height, with phe-
nomenally small hands and feet,
piercing brown eyes, fair skin and
two dimples that make his smile
doubly pleasant. His manners are eX-
quisite, and he carries his hospitality
to the point of interpreting literally
the flowery phases of his native land.
He is an immense favorite in society
His taste is perfect, and the rich and
harmonious toilets he wears are the
envy and admiration of all colorists.
He speaks very good English, and has
a distinct lisp, which he exercises very
cleverly at times. Boston Journal.

To Bridge the English Channel.

Some years ago plans for tunnel
under the British channel were put
before the public and the vast project
would doubtless have been executed
but for the caution of the govern
ment authorities, who feared the dan
gers of an invasion through such a
roadway. Now comes aproject, which
seems to be well reckoned, for a bridge
about % miles long from Cape Grisnez
TO Folkestone. The estimated cost for
bridge 100 feet wide, with four lines
of rail and carriage way, is $40, 900
900. Even if the cost should be sew
eral times this amount, it is likely the
traffic would justify the expenditure.

An Insiish Earl IA HfenSh ARasoAss
The Revolution, which ended by
imprisoning several hundred English
men in Paris alone, began by liberat-
ing two, if not three, who had
grown gray in captivity. The Earl
of Massareene, with thoroughly
British obstinacy, had remained
o. prisoner for at least nine
teen years rather than yield to ex-
tortionate creditors. One version OF
his incarceration is that arriving in
Paris young man of %, he was de-
luded by q Syrian with scheme for
importing salt from Asia Minor and
signed bills to large amount. Rut-
ledge, however, fellow prisoner,
who describes Massareene as the SEN
ior inmate, doing the honors OF the
place 10 newcomers, dispelling their
melancholy, inviting them to supper,
and encouraging them to narrate
their adventures by giving his own,
makes him speak thus:
women, wine, gambling, rascally
lawyers and doctors, lastly my own
follies-behold what led to my being
immured here; but the malicious peo-
pie who have plunged me here will
be out of their reckoning Thanks
to my philosophy, | am quite com
Portable and hope to teach them pa
tience." According to the ''souve-
Mrs" of Nicholas Berger, father OF
the Legitimist orator, Massareene had
been cheated at cards, and had signed
bills for the amount, spent $4,000
year in prison, kept open table, and
had a carriage and boxes at the thea
tire for his mistress. He had attempted
to escape, it is said, in woman's dress;
but the turnkey who had taken his
bride of 200 louis betrayed him. His
chief creditor was man of consider
able influence with the parliament of
Paris. Resigned thenceforth to his
fate, remittances from his Irish stew
ard enabled him to live luXuriously.
Sir John Lambert, a Paris banker,
himself destined to Imprisonment in
the Reign of Terror, writing to Lord
Kerry on Aug. 16, ITO, says: my
Lord Massareene's affairs are always
(sic) in the same situation. You know
he has miscarried in the scheme of
escaping from the Fort pEveque, where
he is still detained for want of fighting
