in Trempealeau county on general prin-
cipals, is a decided new departure for
Judge Lynch. What makes the case
moro revolving IS that bis wife and son
assisted in the bee. Olson was Of vio-
lent. disposition and had been in prison
several times for assaults on his family
and neighbors. He had just returned
from one of these periodical confine-
ments, and was breathing hatred and
revenge against all who were implicated
in his Imprisonment 1t was this that
led to the final enactment last week,
when the neighbors concluded the peace
of the community demanded his absence.
After being strung up couple of times
he was given chance for life on prom
ise to leave the county for ever, but he
declined TO take it.

A Good Methodist Yarn.

In the early days of Maine Method
ism. it was the custom for young min
listers to consult their presiding elders
before taking wife. Once. during a
camp-meeting in Eastern Maine, a
young minister approached the presid-
ing elder. and said he wished to be
married. "Whom do you propose to
marry?" asked the elder. We'll. !"
said the young man. 1.-The Lord has
made known to me very clearly that
l should marry Sister Mary Turner"
i know her well,' said the elder;
..she is a fine girl. / will see you
again before the meeting closes" Dur.
ing the week, four other young minis
tiers consulted the presiding elder on
the subject of marriage. Each of them
gave the name Of the young woman to
whom he proposed to offer himself.
They had all prayed over the matter a
great deal, and each was certain that it
was Gods desire that he should marry
the person named. Neither of the FIVE
young men knew that any one else had
consulted the elder on that subject.
On the last day Of the camp-meeting.
at noon. the elder called the five young
ministers to his tent to receive his
opinion. He said: "Now, brethren, it
may be the will of God for you to mar
nv. but it is not His will that five
Methodist ministers should marry lit
tie Sister Mary Turner. San Fran

Good Place for Investment.

Have our free trade friends noticed
the steady flow of English money to
the United States for investment In
American enterprises? Every few days
it is announced that English capita-
lists are trying to get hold OF some
American industry with which they
expect to make money. The English
men would not come to AmerIcato In
vest their money if there was not a
better chance to make more than there
was at home. Evidently their ifee-
trade policy doesn't bring all the COM
mercial prosperity which they had
expected If protection is such . bad
thing for a country. if it produces
commercial stagnatiOn and ruin.

been saying it did, will they tell Us

WHEN SUFFRAGE COMES.

When suffrage comes, what shall your lord
ships say:
Is it to spoil the mothers holy charm
To take the maiden's lovely guise away
To make ward rowdies out OF womanhood,
And do the gentler sex alasting harm,
And none good?
When suffrage comes, is it to cast blight
On home delight and pretty household play
To lose blessing looking for Il right,
When wives disown the tributary place,
Nor the old rule of custody obey
SO losing grace?

No inurlnIr or halfimprisoned viii.

Is restless still:
What constant evils plo1 their heavy courses
WHAT lives are linked. yet foreign in their
sphere:
There is divorce ere marriage seeks divorce:
Fair sou rebel tina: may not justly share
In answering justice when the world appears
To go unfair
II suffrage comes; If lives have common cause,
And not apart as now their Ways pursue:
Let times BE- changed; let shallow judgment
We get may own, with pleasure in the
claim.
So dear a home and hearth we never knew
Ere suffrage came!
When suffrage comes who questions in the
How come these seekers for a woman's
crown?
They come with souls Of truth with minds Of
thought
They come with righteous zeal to spread
the light;
They come whose duties done in fair renown
Have earned their right.
What bubble then can this fair claim deny!
What parchment Pretext can its end defeat!
What justice give it negative reply:
What accident its onward march befall,
Until its virtuous height shall stand COM

And honor all?

The Presidents Course Approved by the

Tho amusement which the Demo-
cratic newspapers draw from the pub
location of dispatches to the effect
that the Republican party is on the
edge of disruption, and that its lead
ers are quarreling on account of Har-
rison's Administration, must be great,
or they would not pursue it so indus
triously. Hardly a day passes with
out sensational announcements regard
ing meetings of Congressman to talk
over fancied griefs and to demand
an explanation" from the President,
and to ascertain their status" as the
representatives of their respective
constituencies. On the other hand.
the President is represented as disre-
garding the recommendations, wishes
and requests of Congressman, as not
taking it for granted that they al
ways ask the appointment of the best
men, and as frequently pleasing him
self instead OF them in filling the
Offices There may be something in
these representations so far as they
relate to the conscientious diligence
and care exercised by the President in
selecting his appointees. 1t is to be
hoped that such is the case, and that
the measures adopted by him to pre-
vent mistakes in the appointments
will be successful.
If there is any further ground for
these representations of the sensation

the President nor his Administration
with the people. The fact is-and all
the politicians in Congress and out OF
Congress should know it--that the
body of the people care but little or
nothing about the offices or who fills
them, if the officials are honest and in

her friends can not be set down to any
woman's discredit 1t is q nj. lral, q
legitimate feeling and one that is alto
gether womanly. 1t has always been
mystery to me how women can de-
generate into an abominable slovenli-
ness. as some do. as soon as they have
captured husbands or have little child
rem to love and rear Surely such
creatures lack the qualities which are
the distinctive mark of a lovely woman
hood.
A woman's manner to a greater de-
gree even than her dress marks the ex-
tent of her claim to the title of wo-
man. The manners of true woman
are the reflex of a gentle spirit and n
kind heart They are manifested by a
low voice that excellent thing in wo-
man" and by the transformations way in
which the truly feminine nature de-
lights to move and act. In direct oppo-
sition to her mode of deporting herself
is her manner of thinking. The model
woman is vigorous thinker. Her ed
ucatiOn has been directed to that end
and if parents would have their daugh-
tiers eXemplify the beauties of strong
and pure wOmanhood it behooves them
to begin early the work of moral and
intellectual development in the minds
of their daughters. Every father that
has a serious thought concerning the
welfare of his country will educate his
daughters. The veal Or woe of ma
ton depends in a great measure upon
the extent to which its mothers are ed
ucated. The work which men have
agreed upon as rightfully belonging to
woman can not be accomplished eff
GENTLY by the unwomanly, the weak
minded or the illiterate of the sex. A
clear understanding. refined manner,
a cultivated taste. good judgment and
strong moral tendencies are conspicu-
Gus qualities of the woman who fulfills
her highest mission. IGnor-
ance and slavish dependence upon
men are not womanly charac-
teristics. Women. Ike men. have .heir
distinguishing traits and their attract
iveness to men is increase in proportion
to the prominence which these traits
assume. The true woman does net de-
tract from her worth rs woman when
she engages in any work to which duty
calls her; womankind has not been de-
graded by the labors of such reformers
as Ellice Hopkins, Francis Willard or
Lucretia Mott. Men have not found
their wives less helpful. homes have not
been made less bright or little children
less happy because of the interest
which women have manifested in poll
tics, literature and the arts, and in the
advancement of their own sex.
A discussion of the subject women
as Women" at the Women's Conven-
ton was not a necessity, for every low
ing mother. every a;fectionate wife and
every tender sweetheart is a testimonial
to that truth which can not be gain
sayed. Woman is first, last, and all
the time Il woman, and as such she
longs for no wider kingdom than a
home. no stronger scepter than love,
and no greater power than that whic',
she yields over Il husband and chif
dren,
To have such an ambition woman
need not be ''old-fashioned,' she need
not be a conservative or a domestic
slave. for it is an attribute of the high
est. the lowlicst the most gifted and the
strongest minded of the sex.

NEW YORK POLITICS,
Why the Republicans Will in All Prob
ability Garry the State.

Although this may fairly be consid-
cred an off year in New York politics.
its election will have some interest
for the people of the country. That
State chose its Governor in 1888, and
in 1889 it will select minor State Off
GERS and both branches of its Legisla-
ture. The lower section of that body
is chosen every year, while the
upper is named in every odd-numbered
year. In the election a year and q
half hence of United States Senator
to succeed William NJ. Evarts the up
per branch of the Legislature will
participate. Undoubtedly the cam
vass for the State ticket will be earnest
and exciting. but that for the Legisla-
ture will command much more atten-
ton outside New York. 1t is under
stood that Governor Hill has deter
mined that the Democrats shall Sc
cure a majority in the Legislature this
year, ifpossible. even at the sacrifice
of the State ticket. 1t is good many
years since the Democrats have carried
the Legislature, while in the choice
of State officers they have been far
more successful than the Republicans.
for nearly a decade past A victory
in the election for the legislature.
therefore. would be great triumph
for the Governor and add immensely
to his prestige and strength as Pres
idential aspirant.
The Democratic chances for carry
ing the Legislature, even with such an
astute and INSCRIPTIONS party mana
ger as Hill at the head Of the move
ment, however, are not very hopeful.
1t is true the ProhibitiOnists promise
to render important aid TO their old
allies of the whisky party by nomi-
mating candidates in all the Legisla-
tive districts, and supporting them
actively at the polls. Heretofore the
weak point of the Prohibition canvass
has been for the Legislature. Most
of the efforts of that organization have
hitherto been directed toward rolling
up big vote for its State ticket, and
this is one of the reasons why the
Republicans, while generally beaten
for State officers in recent years, have
maintained their supremacy in the
law-making body. The fact. though.
that the Prohibitionists are to give
more attention this year than before
to the Legislative campaign is neu-
tralized by the other fact that Prohi-
bition strength is on the wane in New
York. Up to and including 1887 the
vote of that party had been steadily
and rapidly on the increase in that
State, but since that year the decline
has been even more striking and con-
spicuous. The Prohibition vote cast
in the State for President and Govern
or last year was smaller than that
polled for any official since 1884, and
the prospects are that this years vote
will be below even 1885 total The
outlook indeed is that the Republicans
will not only retain their dominance
in the Legislature in New York, but
that they will also be successful on the
State ticket.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
