A RESERVE POWER,

Indications That Woman's Services Are
Becoming Necessary in Public Places.
Miss Mary Il Krout in an article in
the "Woman's Kingdom" of the Chicago
lnter-Ocean, gives good reasons for
believing that women will bear a
share in 'the political future" She
says:
In every large city in the United

PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
What the Grand Army Wants, and What
1t Ought to Have.

What the Grand Army Wants, and What
1t Ought to Have.
In his annual address to his COM
rades of the G. A. r., Commander-in-
Chief Major Warner made a strong
and eloquent plea in behalf of liberal
and equitable pension policy. He
counseled union of action, averring
that on account of a division in its
ranks tine Grand Army of the Republic
has never exercised its full influence in
pension and legislation. He was con-
fident that if the veterans are true to
themselves, before the next encamp-
ment every comrade disabled by age,
sickness or accident. and the widows
and orphans Of the veterans. will be
borne on the pension rolls. He be-
lieves that the service pension will
come, and predicted that the day is
not far distant when an honorable dis
charge from the Union army or navy
shall be all the evidence required to
secure a pension to its holder.
The people will indorse these senti.
ments With plethoric treasury 1t
would be the height of National in
gratitude to allow Union veterans to
suffer from want and privation. They
certainly "haye claims upon the State
equal at least to those of the bond

Two Good Men Who VIII Win the Two

the final decision of the people as to
the copartnership existing between
David B Hill and the saloon men.
The most picturesque and vigorous of
the several State canvasses will be
those in Virginia and Ohio. for in both
these States strong and unflincning
individuality is infused into the cam
paign by the candidacy of General
Malone and Governor Foraker. They
typify and embody the issues in both
contests. and in each the victory that
awaits them will be largely personal
1t will be especially 80 in Virginia,
where the Democrats have already
raised the cry of ..Mahoneism" in the
endeavor to make it odious in the eyes
of others. But reading the platform
OF the Virginia Republicans. for which
General Malone is responsible, puts
another light on ':Mahoneism. which
is there shown to mean a fair ballot for
every voter. fair settlement OF the
State debt; the maintenance OF the
public school system, and protection
to the industrial enterprises that have.
in six years, opened up millions Of
new wealth in the State. The sterling
Republicanism of the Virginia leader
embodies all these questions, and it is
On them that his party appeals to Vir-
ginians to put him in the Gubernatori-

There is every reason to look for
success. In the last Presidential con-
test the Democrats claimed less than
1000 majority for Cleveland. They
might have claimed twenty with as
much fairness, for the vote-counting
was entirely in their hands and they

The Ballot Is the Key to the situation.
The Union Signal publishes the fol-
lowing extract from private letter by
Miss Susan b. Anthony:
II wish all the women who fain
would better the world by their living
could see how powerless they are to

cational or industrial. any more than
political-while women as a class are

State or Nation. For forty years. as
long as the children of Israel wandered
in the wilderness. have we proclaimed
this truth in the ears OF the women of
the United States. Yet must they learn
it by the things which they suffer in
seeing their plans and purposes de-
feated. because they lack the power of
the ballot to coin into law their highest
ideas, then to elect only such men to
Office as would execute their will by
enforcing the laws so enacted. l am
glad of every disaster coming under
our half free and half slave republic,
which opens the eyes of the people

versal suffrage is the first proof and
only basis of a genuine republic
When our best men and women
come to feel the truth of this
assertion of Charles Sumner. they will,
for the time being. hold all other aims
and ends in abeyance. while they work
together as one mighty power to secure
through constitutional guarantees, both
State and national, the right Of a voice
in the government to the half of the
people hitherto disfranchised. While /

better the conditions of society, not be-
cause / think they can do the thing
they start to do, but because by trial
and failure they will learn their need of

makes those conditions. So work on
