The Woman Remonstrants Society OF
Massachusetts sends us the following
summary of the results of woman suf.
frage movements thus far this season.
which they ask US to publish:
In Vermont, where two years ago a
municipal suffrage bill passed the house,
similar bill was defeated at the recent
session: yeas 80; nays 1872.
In Maine municipal suffrage bill was
defeated in the house February %: yeas
AZ: nays 90. The senate rejected the
bill by a vote of yeas 9; nays II.
In New Hampshire the constitutional
convention gave the suffragists "leave to
withdraw"
In Dakota, where two years ago a mu-
nicipal suffrage bill passed both branches
of the legislature. and was vetoed by the
governor, similar bill has been twice
voted down in the present legislature.
Introduced again in modified form,
limiting the privilege to tax paying
women, the measure met with a third
and final defeat, February q.
In Ohio, a municipal suffrage bill was
defeated in the house, and proposition
for suffrage constitutional amendment
also failed of adoption.
In Nebraska the legislature has voted
to indefinitely postpone" municipal
suffrage bill.
In Nevada proposed amendment to
Ithe constitution, admitting women to
the suffrage, has been voted down.
In Massachusetts municipal suffrage
bill was defeated in the house, March II;
yeas IS, nays 1877.
In Connecticut, the senate, March 10,
concurred with the house in rejecting
the bill comforting suffrage upon women.
Municipal suffrage as exercised by
women in England, is limited to women
who are unmarried and are property
owners. or rate payers to the amount of
e10 per annum. Municipal suffrage as
exercised by women in. Ontario. New
Brunswick. Nova Scotia and Manitoba,
is also limited to single women and
widows who are property owners or tax
PAYERS. These limitations and qualltica-
tons. however, are not proposed by the
advocates of the measure in this country;
but an unrestricted woman suffrage is

Grated. That it viii be successful in its

Index puts it little strong when it says
| that eff the work is accomplished there
will be no more appropriations by con-
gress on the Texas coast" If the work Is
accomplished there is very little doubt
that congress will make an ppro-
priation to reimburse the company
in charge of the work, which will have
to be done in order to make the harboa a
free one, which will be necessary to
meet the requirements of the people,
one of the prime objects in securing
such an outlet to the commerce of the
west and southwest being to cheaper
the cost of transporting our exports and
imports to less than is now exacted.
Nor will this or any other one harbor
suffice for the accommodation of the
| traffic that is going to be turned to the
gulf route to and from the markets of
the world in a short time. With the
| opening of the Oklahoma country to
settlement the great southwest is going
to receive an impetus to business cover
ing its every interest, without prece-
dent, and its demands for facilities to
reach the outside world will be such
| that half dozen or more sea ports will
be required. And it is no use to talk
| about congress not making necessary ap-
preparation to meet the requirements of
the people in these matters. 1t always
has done it, and it will continue to do it.

DEEP WATER ON THE TEXAS COAST

"The prospect for something of a practi-
cal sort being done in the matter OF a deep
water harbor on the Texas coast of the
gulf is very encouraging to the friends OF
that movement. The committee OF en2in-
GERS to make surveys and report have been
named by the general OF the army and Will
enter upon the work assigned them in a
shert time 1t is hoped the matter will be
in shape for congress when 1t meets in De-
cember TO take steps toward carrying it
into operation: that is to provide for the
beginning of work early next year."
The above is taken from the Wichita
EAGLE of the 21st. From gentleman.
not long since from the Texas coast,
and who keeps well posted, we learn
that a company has been formed and
has bought several hundred thousand
acres of land along the Brazos river,
near the mouth. That said company
procured the passage of a law, during
the last session of congress, cedlng said
river and its approaches 10 them. for
deep water purposes, reservIng the right
to purchase the works the company may
erect at any time, at their actual value.
That said company now have 800 men
actually at work at the mouth OF the
Brazos river at this time. and are now
erecting an electric plant, which when
completed VIII be used TO hight up the
place of operations, when another ], 800
hands will be placed on the works, to
run them day and night. The object Of
the company is 10 have as much at %
feet of water at the mouth of the river
by the next meeting of congress. If
this work is accomplished, as now seems
certain, there will be no more appropria-
tons by congress on the Texas coast.
The engineer in charge is the same man
that ofiiciated in the same capacity at
the mouth of the AHssiSsippi.for Colonel

There must be some mistake about

When New Hampshire killed the pro-
hibition amendment, it also voted down
a proposed change in its constitution
which would have removed from Catho-
lie voters the disability to hold Office in
the state. 1t is possible that in the keen
ness of the fight against the restriction
of liberty to buy or sell Intoxicating
liquors, the minor issue was overlooked,
and the liberty of about 900 citizens kept
restricted in 5igoted and senseless
manner. Disqualification for religious
views is un-American and miserable
relic of our forefathers' lack of charity.

healthfulness; when we can show seen
cry SO fraught with beauty and lowell
ness that we fear no other competitor In
the world. to say nothing of agrlcul-
tural, manufacturing, commercial and
other heavy interests, why should we sit
idly by and wait for the millennium of
good times? Let every one of us set to
work and do something toward the de-
velopment of the forces that lie at our
doors.
