THE MATTER OF SEX

Continually and eternally it is dinned
suffrage that it is one sex, and the
stronger, denying the other sex, and the
weaker, a right to which she is as much
entitled as the man. That, in fact, be-
cause of her sex only is the ballot for
women opposed by the great ma iority of
women and denied by the great majority
of men. 1t is not true, yet there is no
denying, as we say elsewhere. that this
question OF sex will come up. Touching
this equality OF sexes some one has most
truthfully and triteiy Observed: Women
habitually exact. and perhaps properly
exact, a certain consideration in right of
their sex. and that becomes to them
either an advantage or disadvantage.
1t acts either favorably or unfavorabIy,
never with exact equity. 1t gains them
more than they should have. or loses
them what should properly be theirs
Women contendins before the law either
awaken sympathy or feeling reverse of
that. and in both cases injustice is the
invariable result. This seems to be the
constitution of human nature. In the
common estimation a bad woman is not
like bad man, simply bad or vicious.
She is devil A good woman is not
like good man, simply good and virtu-
Gus. She is saint. Always at one ex-
treme or the otner, and so never I'M a
position to be judged fairly. She is
either treated with excessive lenity or
excessive harshness. And so il will al.
ways be, perhaps, until God makes men
and women out of some other metal
than earth.

HUNT1NGToN,s SCHEMES.

The announcement was made short
time ago that C. P. Huntington. the
great railroad magnate, had declared his
intention of disposing OF his entire rail-
road interests east of the Mississippi
river, and devoting his whole time and
attention to developing and perfecting
the Southern Pacific system. OF which
he is the head. Considered in connec-
ton with the deep harbor movement on
the western gulf coast the proposition
sounded plausible. since the distance be-
tween such port and New York may
be comprised by first-class ocean
steamer in about as short time as by
rail over the present routes, while the
expense OF equipping and maintaining
line of steamers between the points
would be far less than that Of keeping
up the railway and equipments, SO
that by the now route the
traffic between the Pacific and
Atlantic could be maintained at a less
cost to shippers. yet with greater profit
to the operators of the line. The latest
announcement, however, seems to knock
all this plausible theorizing in the head:
it is to the effect that Mr.. Huntington iis
interested with a syndicate of New York
capitalists in scheme to build So, o00,
600 hotel in Louisville, KY, convenient
to the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad depot,
for the especial accommodation of travel
by that lire. This does not indicate the
new rail and water route for transconti-
mental freight will not materialize, te-
cause it will, in some hands, as soon as
the deep harbor is established. but 1t
does indicate that Mr.. Huntington will
not part with his eastern railroad inter
ests in the near future.

sUPERLAT1VE DETERMINATIONS

Whenever we come to discussion OF
political equality there always arises the
sexual equation No problem of life will
admit Of the same solution as applied to
woman and man. All attempts to
ignore this fact will either prove futile
or end in absurdity, 1t stands in the
way of all practical equality. Upon this
equation hinges all the affairs of man
kind, all their ambitions, sentiments and
aspirations of home. of country, of
ideality of life itself. Training nor learn
ing can surmount nor Obliterate its
pagination. its sum in human affairs. All
the difference found between reason
an intuition otherwise must be wiped
out. In no relation are women on the
same plane with men. Women exact
certain considerations by right of their
sex. Man comedies them exactly in the
spirit that he accedes to a demand of a
moral law or to the dictates of his con-
science Men and women do not and
cannot meet on common ground, not as
woman meets woman or as man meets
man, either in business, socially or
otherwise. A man and his wife do not
meet on common ground, except in their
mutual love and in their respect for each
other, and in their loves OF home and
their children. The ordinary friend
ships existing between man and man
and between weman and woman do not
exist between man and woman.
They live in different atmosphere of
thought and feeling. They WEIGH nor
estimate the world nor human affairs
from the same standpoint of view, no
matter how much they may fancy or
men may fancy they do. If woman was
simply, merely, and only no more than
the female of the race, this would not be
So In creation God made everything
male and female, but when He came to
create beings in His own image He
made man and woman. While He
gave to this man and woman the ordi-
nary male and female functions, re-
spectiveiy, as he did to all the rest, yet
to man and woman He gave vastly more
anG ia superlative diHerentiations.

convention are the central stars and hope
of a home: And how many of their

Major Boies, the Democratic candl-
date for governor of Iowa, is said to be
an accomplished lawyer, not only, but is
also well versed in the science of farm
ing, practically applied. All of which is
creditable enough to Mr.. Boies as citi-
zen and professional man, but the state
of Iowa does not expect to have any law
suits on its hands during the next two
years, neither is it the habit Of farming
out the governorship: consequently MIR.

The most noticeable result of the cleo
tions in the four new states in the north
west Tuesday was the defeat Of the
woman suffrage clause in the conshtu-
lions. which was voted on separately.
Especially is this noteworthy in the ter

frage has been given fair trial: they
gave it a most emphatic defeat. No
stronger evidence OF the capacity of the
people of those states for self-govern-
ment could be given. They are all

any reforms mauEurated or improve
ments in the administration of affairs

which absence proves that the thirsting
of women after political privileges is
simply an uncomfortable desire for noto-

1t is claimed for the will of the late S.
S. Cox that it is incontestable. That
implies a high compliment to Mr. Cox's
legal attachments, but higher to his
keen sense of right. If he had be-
queathed portion of his estate to some
public institution for the purpose of
getting a little fame, as is the case with
many, to the neglect of his own who are
of right entitled to it, the bequest would
have been subject to an attack, although
drawn in strict conformity with the let
ter of the law. Written law is not al
ways equity, though it is presumed to
nave that for its foundation.

from that side, it is accepted as to the

the illustration was one of those pictures
of trees, grass, plants, ETC., which con

in this instance a cat, but it takes time to
see it, and so it is with the single tax.
