Women Voters in Kansas.

In February. 1887, Kansas followed
the example Of Great Britain and grant
ed school and municipal suffrage to wo-
men. Tho women began voting at once,
aud have kept 1t up ever since. In the
election just passed, no less than 40, 900
women voted. At the election two years
ago woman was elected mayor Of Oska-
loosa, and the women had their own way
in the selection Of town officers. Oska-
loosa liked It 90 well that this year the
woman's ticket was reelected. At Cot
tonwood Falls and Rossville, two small
places. all the officers elected, from
mayor down, were women. Whole fam
ilies-father, mother, sons and daugh-
ters, in some instances-went to the
polls in party and cast their ballots.
In Topeka the women were more inter-
ested in election than the men. Clean
streets and good schools were something
that appealed to them directly. because
of their homes and children.
Women shared all the perils and hard
ships of the war for free state in Kan.
sas in the beginning. That fact appealed
SO strongly to the chivalry Of the men
who adopted the Kansas constitution
that they invited a woman, Mrs. Mich
OILS, to speak in the convention. She did
SO, and asked for equality Of rights for
women with men in the matter Of prop
erty and the control Of children. 1t was
granted.
In Topeka alone 1890 votes were cast
by women this spring. Colored ladies
were conveyed to the polls in carriages
by their white sister voters.

Mr.. Erastus Wiman, the missionary
Of commercial union, says It Is a great
misfortune that q line Of demarkation
was ever erected across the center Of the
continent. He declares It has retarded
the growth Of the greater half Of the
continent towards the north.
Mr.. Wiman is Canadian who has
grown rich in the United States. He
declares that under commercial union
New England would DO greatly benefited
by the cheap coal and iron from Nova
Scotia. England might object to the
free admission Of American goods all
over British America. while her own
goods would enter Canada under duty
regulated at Washington. But England
would have to decide then whether the
best interests of 5000, 900 subjects in
Canada should be sacrificed to 10000
English manufacturers.

A yohnstewn Howl.

A Johnstown correspondent Of the
New York Heruld makes q severe at
tack upon the flood commission for Its
slowness In distributing the food funds,
Governor Beaver and Secretary Kremer
being the main objects of the assault.
The motive alleged for the secre-
tary's slowne@ 10 that he ia making
twenty-five dcllars q day as salary
for his services. The accuser thinks
that man with a fat berth will natur-
ally hang on to It as long as he can ;
which doubtless 10 true Of some men ;
and the Herald correspondent per-
chance IL Of this class, since he has so
acute perception Of the potency Of this
influence but he Is barking up the
wrong tree when he finds that Secretary
Kremer IL animated by II. The fact II
that Mr.. Kremer only took his post under
urgent solicitation and with the cabled
permission Of the English fire insurance
company for which he is appraiser. He
gains nothing by his present service and
II he acted only from selfish motives II
would be to his interest to close up the
matter hastily and carelessly and resume
his post In the insurance company.
The groundlessness Of the aspersion
upon Secretary Kremer II apparent to
al who know him and the fact that
this accusation is 20 recklessly brought
against him, deprives the statements
and complaints Of the Herdids corres-
pondent Of the value they might other
wise have. Nineteen weeks have passed
since the food disasters, and there II
room to suppose that the fund should
before now have been distributed.
And doubtless It would have been II
the conduct Of the people who awaited
the distribution had been such as TO In.
vite II without fear Of Its being misap-
Piled. But we do not understand this
20 be the case. Our observation Ii that
the honesty Of the applicants for the
Hood money has not been con-
splcuous, and that great care has
been called for to see that the real suf-
Ierers received its benefit. The Johns
town section has undertaken to swallow
the whole bencfaction, regardless Of
the fact that the flood suffering
was not alone In that valley. They
have absorbed nearly the whole of the
fund % far distributed and want II all.
They incline to abuse the commiss on
fbr diverting any part Of II to other Sec
ti0ns Of the state.
Their conduct IL not pleasing. 1t
leaves one to doubt whether the money
that has been poured out 80 freely In
their valley has been usefully given.
They he'd no right 10 It. They suffered
from agreat afiiictlon Of Providence that
summoned to their, relief tho sympathy
Of the world. They should be duly
thankful for it,and be slow to accuse the
agents, who are dispensing the relief to
them, OF being negligent aud un.alth.
fnl. Complaint against them would
more becomingly come from an outside
quarter.

have cause Of complaint against the city
that prpvides us mud instead Of the
water We buy; and against the street
committee though II may say IL cannot
help 10, but that the councils are st fault.
This we do not credit. We know that an
efncient water committee would readily
secure nom councils the power TO sup
ply clean water to the city, II It was
wise enough to propose the proper
means of securing II and active and
earnest enough in Its advocacy.

The Use Of Electricity.

New York ID having an exciting ex-
perience with Its electric light. Many
deaths have occurred from the wires,
and now they are suspected of firing
Talmage's great tabernacle In Brooklyn.
That the electric wires are dangerous to
life and property, when heavily charged
with electricity, Is not to bs disputed ;
but the question In whether they
can be made safe. The mayor of New
York, who II very earnest In seek
Ing to nnd a remedy for the
distructiveness Of the wires, proposes
that they shall be promptly put into
underground conduits but Edison says
that this will not remedy the evil, which
eanlonly be corrected, In his opinion, by
limiting the charge Of electricity put
upon . wire, just as the steam pressure
upon the boiler is limited to its known
capacity.
This position will strike people gcner-
ally ~ being sound, both upon its merits
and upon the distinguished authority
which states 1t. 1t seems natural that
. wire should have limited power
Of transmitting electricity with safety
and that this could he ascertained. II
70 the duty Of restricting the charge
70 this limited capacity Is clear and
could beenforced by proper inspection
and by the penalties imposed by the
law for using dangerous agencies.
The fact clearly appears that great
deal remains to he understood about
electricity before its use is made per-
Sectly safe. That New York is suffering
more than other cities Is probably due
TO the fact that there is greater use there
Of the new agency and greater tempta.
tive TO Overcrowd the wires.
But, on the other hand, II might rea-
sonably be supposed that greater skill
In the management of electricity and
greater caution would be found here ;
aud especially when the city enjoys a
board Of electrical control, established
purposely to see to the safety CT it's cleo
trtcsl appliances, ought We to expect
better results from the use of the agency
than are shown. But the stirring up
Of the public mind, caused by the
late horrible scenes on the streets of
New York, will bring good fruit In de.
termining the limits within which elec-
srictty can safely be used, II such dis
covery 10 within the reach Of science;
and will check the use of electricity. II
