Resolution to Amend the Constitution
Giving Women the Ballot.

WASHINGTON, February THE Joint
resolution proposing an amendment to the
constitution declaring the right to vote
shall not be abridged by the United States
or any State on account of sex was favor
ably reported to-day by Senator Blair from
the select committee on woman's suffrage.
The report recommending the adoption of
the resolution, after reviewing the history
of the woman suffrage movement and max
ing some comments upon the denial of the
right of suffrage to woman as an injustice
equal to that of negro slavery, concludes
as follows:
Unless this Government shall be made
and preserved truly republican in form by
the enfranchisement of woman the great
reforms which her ballot would accomplish
may never be, and the decentralization and
disintegretation now proceeding in the
body polite are not likely soon to be ar
rested. The corruption of male suffrage is
already we'll nigh fatal disease. A repub-
lican form of government cannot survive
half slave and half free. The ballot is
withheld from woman because men are not
willing to part with one half the sovereign
power. There is no other cause for the
continued perpetuation of this unnatural
tyranny. Enfranchise woman or this
republic will steadily advance to the same
destruction, the same ignoble and tragic
catastrophe which has engulfed all male
republics of history. Let us establish q
republic in which both men and women
shall be free indeed. Then shall the
republic be perpetual.
The minority report, adverse to the
adoption of the resolution reported, will
hereafter be presented.

MONTANA's CONSTITUTION.
Rep-Do you consider the present con.
stitution of Montana as adopted in 1884, 6
good, organic law?
Alt was evidently considered q good
constitution at the time of its adoption
but experience has taught that the mos,
perfect constitution will, by the lapse o.
time and change of circumstances. require
amendment. Our constitution is no ex
ception and it undoubtedly might have
been made better at the time it was pre-
pared, and in my judgment it would be
the part of wisdom for us to eliminate OBJ
jectionable features before establishing 8
government under it. The objection
is urged by members of Con-
gress and with much force that it is
unfair to the present population of Mon
tana to ask that they establish State gov
eminent under a constitution which was
adopted by majority of about 25,OOC
voters, while at present we have over 10000
legal voters in the Territory. The ques-
tiOn is, What kind of constitution is
wanted by the present population of Mon.
tana? and no one can better determine that
than the people who are now residing here
and they should have an opportunity to
express themselves on this important ques-
tiOn.
Rep.-What are your impressions con.
cerning the President-elect?
Mr.. c. = He is evidently a brainy
prudent, conservative statesman. in whose
care and keeping, the great interests ol
this magnificent country will be perfectly
safe.
Mr.. Carter was asked as to the probable
composition of General Harrison's cabinet
but would not make prophecy. He says
the newspapers seem to know the most or
this subject.

Samoa Trouble.

HAMBURG, February GA Hamburger
correspondent publishes a letter signed
"Otto Heinrich" which gives an account of
the recent events in Samoa from German
point of view. The letter says the whole
fight in Samoa occurred on German private
property. The writer asserts that the
United States steamer Nipsic supplied the
rebels with ammunition through Captain
Leary, of the United States steamer
Adams, and he deplores the fact tnat all
efforts of the German Consul to stop the
sale of war munitions to the natives have

Hopkins Out

NEW YORK, February 8.-Hopkins, g. presi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific and nearer to
Jay Gould than any other man aside from
his own son, George Gould, has severed
all connection with the Gould interest. One
of the reasons assigned is that Gould, in
cutting down the salaries whereby he
saved nearly $4,000 per week, razed Hop
kins salary also. Another says Geo. Gould
didn't want anybody so "solid with the
old man" so he froze Hopkins out.

Hundreds of Patients Safely Re.

MADRID, February 8.-A fire occurred
last night in the military hospital. The
43O patients in the building became panic
stricken. Many were unable to help them
selves, and the nurses and doctors devoted
themselves to the task of removing them
from the burning structure. The governor
of Madrid hurried to the scene and carried
several men suffering from contagious dis
eases to the barracks. One wing of the
hospital was destroyed. No deaths.

NAV be found best,

partisan. 1t may be found best,
having regard to our habits
of action, that party tickets be
nominated; but party politics would prob
ably sit lightly upon the average Mon
tanian. The election of the Legislature
cannot be divorced from party politics, and
should not be; but until that time, it is
the duty of every Democrat and of every
Republican, of every Prohibitionist, to give
Whatsoever of his labor and advice he can
to the creation of q constitution for the
State of Montana which will contribute to
the happiness of her people through
coming generations.
Suggestions that the existing Territorial
legislative Assembly shall elect Senators
are occasionally made, but it seems to me
such a course is liable to insurperable OBJ
jections.
First. It was not elected for that pur-
pose and the electors of Montana are en-
titled to be heard upon that matter.
Second. The Senators are to represent
the sovereignty of the State, not the Terri
tory, and their authority should emanate
from the organism they are to represent.
Third. No possible political advantage
could be derived or should be derived by
such action, nor is there the least proba-
bility that Congress would recognize them.
l have not overlooked the fact that there
is hesitancy, possibly timidity, among our
politicians to move in 80 great matter.
1t cannot be that we have petrifed in an
adamantine groove of inferiority and be-
come incapable of the high duties which
lie before US. We must discharge these
duties as best we may in a spirit Of gener-
GUS regard for the public veal, without
selfish motives, and possibly in contempt
of the carping of envious churls. They
are duties of great responsibility and grav-
ity; they are labors of great dignity as
well. AS we cannot escape them, let US
seize the great occasion and walk conf

A STOCK RAIsER,s POINTERS.

Yesterday Harvey Grace, a well known
young stock raiser of Cheney, was in the
city, having business at the stock yards
and Dold's packing house He has already
disposed of quite a large amount of stock
at the markets here and feels exceedingly
well satisfied with his sales believing that
he does far better here, everything consid-
cred, than at any other market. This
pleasant weather." he said, will have a
great effect upon the hog and cattle mar
ket of this section. All the hogs that are
born are living and even now if cold
weather was TO come the growth and size
they have attained are such that they
could stand it very well. The cattle are
grazing upon the wheat and find susten-
ance sufficient to keep them in very
good condition. The farmers all over
section are giving great attention to the
raising of hogs, being encouraged by the
excellent market at Wichita; and so all in
all feel that we will have next fall
enough of stock to supply any possible
demand that may be made upon u.s.
