WyOmin q.

A very interesting point has come up
in Wyoming. In this territory women
vote at all elections. Contrary to the
popular skpposition that the sex do not
want to vote, the Wyoming ladies do
vote enthusiastically, and early and
often. A convention met in Cheyenne
not long since to prepare a state consti-
tuition. This winter Wyoming, with a
constitution all ready for statehood, will
ask congress to admit her to the Union.
But the interesting point is this: 1t is
said a majority Of the n1en of the terri
tory are opposed to woman suffrage. If,
however, they put a clause in the new
constitution restricting suffrage to male
citizens. the women will be a unit
against the adoption of the constitution,
and will overthrow it. So that if Wyom-
ing comes into the Union it must como
with woman suffrage, as matters stand
now

Business Prophecies.

Samuel Benner, all Ohio farmer, many
years ago wrote curious book called
"Benner's Prophecies" 1t referred to
good and bad business years, and was
based on the principle that events Of all
kinds follow each other in cycles. There
were regular periods Of advance and de-
preston in prices. Benner's book con-
tanned tables showing the periods of rise
and fall in the prices of corn, cotton,
pork, iron, etc., with indications for the
future. The number of times the
prophecies hit tho mark was noticeable.
Mr.. Benner still survives and has pub
lished new edition of his book. He
SAYS that 1889 and 1890 will be booming
years, years of great speculative and
business activity, followed in 1891 by
panic. Then depression will set in again
and last from 1892 to 1897, the century
to close with tremendous trade boom,
and 20 out in glory.

In Calcutta the natives gamble on the
amount of rain that will fall in a given
time during the rainy season. The ma
tives in our country have had baseball
and horse races to bet on for number
of months now, but the season is near its
close. What will the gamblers do for
excitement? Well, for one thing, they
might stake their money on the prob
able number of weeks or months con,
gress will spend over the contested elec-
tion cases.
Ben Butler says the way to begin to
get rich is to go in debt for house and
lot, and let the rent of it pay off the
mortgage. At that rate, however, the
man who rented the house might just as
well buy and own house of his own on
the same terms.

Common Sense in Education.

A teacher writes to The Philadelphia
Times asking. apparently in some sur
prise, whether teacher is expected to
teach pupils manners. Judging from
the manners of school children in the
streets and elsewhere the question is not
hard TO answer. The Times says de-
cidedly-yes, and proceeds to tell why:
If the object of school education be to fit chill
dren for useful and successful lives when they be-
come men and women, we can think Of no part of
their instruction upon which more stress should
be laid than upon that which relates to deport
ment. When there are a dozen applicants for
position in business house, the best hammered
boy or youth of the lot is invariably selected
Well hammered boys rarely remain long in the
messenger service in cities, for the reason
that business men offer them better positions and
secure their services The best hammered sales
men and saeswomen sell the most goods, and are
in greatest demand Good hammered men make
their way in politics, in the professions. in bust
ness life and in society to a far greater degree
than the boorish and uncouth, though the latter
may be equally diligent and quite as competent in
all respects save that of department
Then The Times proceeds to remark,
very Justly, that the behavior of many
school children in public would lead an
ordinary observer to the conclusion that
good breeding was lost art.
In the old fashioned school days it
was not uncommon for the teacher
to set apart Friday afternoon for
teaching department., manners" as it
was called. Children we're at least
taught there how to address their el-
ders properly, and how to enter a
room and make bow. If we are ever
to have decently hammered children
among the masses we must come back
to the old custom in some shape.
It is teachers place to instruct chill
slren in politeness, to teach them to be
gentle and courteous and thoughtful OF
others. For good manners are part OF
good morals. It is really far more i'm
portant that our children should be po-
lite, honest and kindly than that they
should know what a participial adjective
is If we can't have both let us have the
politeness and let the technical grammar
90. At least, any teacher alive has time
to instruct her pupils that the cardinal
principle of politeness is the golden rule.

Mexico.

A curious and interesting old country
is Mexico. She is little slow. When
an earthquake shakes the republic up at
3 o'clock in the afternoon it is not re-
ported in the morning newspapers till
the second day after. The morning pa
pers for next day were printed at 2
o'clock of that day, an hour before the
earthquake came off. In the United
States the last editions of the evening
Journals would have had all the news
from all parts of the continent.
Nevertheless Mexico is going to be one
of the greatest of markets for American
surplus products. Railroads and inter-
nal improvements are marching on with
dizzy speed, for Mexico. Vast quanti-
ties of Texas beef are shipped thither,
and the trade is growing rapidly. Our
sister North American republic, in fact,
wants large share of almost everything
we have to spare. She will furnish a
vast, grand outlet for the surplus which
begins to glut our home markets heavily.
Let the United States this winter make
a liberal reciprocity treaty with Mexico.

Sir Edwin Arnold.

The gifted and scholarly author OF the
Light of Asia" and other exquisite gems
of literature deserves a right hospitable
welcome in America. The perpetual
wonder, even to Americans who are in
the habit of getting through q large
amount of work, is how he has found
time from his arduous newspaper duties
to accomplish so much that will be last
ing in literature. He is editor Of The
London Daily Telegraph. and has been
for years
He is warmly interested in America.
His lamented wife, for whom he is at
present in mourning, was an American.
Whatever he has to say of US is worth
hearing
On Canadian annexation he remarks
that the Dominion has her fate in her
own hands: ''She is equally welcome to
go or stay
AS an active journalist, obliged to keep myself
informed of main currents and forces, feel sure
that the free choice and action of Canada will not
la the least be interfered with from this side OF
the boundary
Here is something which will give gen.
uine pleasure to all true sons and daugh-
ters of our republic;
As an old and very busy journalist I realize the
advantage Of coming at things at first hand when
| can | greatly like the simplicity with which
your matters of state conducted. Judging from
my experience at the White House, and do not
perceive any loss OF dignity from your rejection
of fatigling ceremoDiouSneSS | certainly
brought away sincere respect for the head Of
your government
Edwin Arnold has, if possible, more
readers and admirers in America than at
home. His careful studies of the poetic
side Of Oriental religions, and the refined
vet powerful verse in which he has given
us the results Of his Investigations, are
familiar in our homes and hearts. Un-
doubtedly the Light of Asia" has had a
strong influence on the religious thought
of the time. Its pure and gentle yet
thoroughly robust philosophy is grateful
alike to hereto and orthodox believer.
One of the most remarkable of Sir
Edwin's productions is the poem "He
and She" perhaps less known than some
others. \ husband kneels alone beside
his dead wife and entreats her to reveal
to him the greatest surprise of all that
death holds for mortaIs. He listens, say
ing:
hold the breath of my soul to hear
The answer comes at last, with the
sweet soft voice in the dear old way
The utmost wonder is this-l hear
Aud See you. and love you and kiss you, dear;
And am your angel, who was your bride,
And know that though dead, have never died

Minneapolis says the real estate bubble
in Kansas City is distended to the last
degree of thinness; that the whole town
is sunk beneath the weight of eastern
mortgages, and that it is full of empty
storehouses and dwellings. Kansas City
retorts that for every empty house COW
cred by an eastern mortgage in Kansas

too, in Minneapolis. Meantime this will
be interesting reading to people who
propose to settle in either one of those

It is a pretty fight that is now on in
Canada between the divorce and anti
divorce factions. There is practically
almost no divorce in the Dominion, and
a:large and influential party are making
agitation to secure divorce court.
Those advocating it are of British blood
and are Protestants. Opposed to them
solidly are the Roman Catholic French
Canadians, of whom there are number
among the highest law officials. 1t will
be interesting to see which side wins,

 " ASL:S.r',N, Oct. i5.-The Indians as o,- lilicaI factor Is feature of loli- tics which is likely in the near future to attract public attention. By recent acts of Congress every Indian ovor 2l years of age who receives an allotment of land in scveraity Accomes voter, clothed with every attribute that at- t:ches to citizenship. The successful termination of the negotiations with tho Sioux Indians, by which they sur rcidcr large part of their reservation in Dakota, will, it is estimated, by next year throw into the politics of the ss<,te tho uncertain quantity of 4,937 voters.
 This vote, thrown solidly, as 1t probably will be in both State aad National elections, is likely to become an important fac tor in that State. Negotiations now in progress with other Indian tribes will soon make many thousand more Indian voters.
 At the Interior Department 1t is thought that upward of 20, 900 Indians will be entitled to vote in the next Presidential election. How the "Red Man" will conduct himself as part and parcel of the nation, and not as its ward, will be watched with interest by all who are interested in the solution of the Indian problem.
