SUFFRAGE TO WOMEN.

The Woman's Temperance Asso-
citation presented a petition in the
Senate yesterday asking for the
right OF suffrage.
The APPEAL can see no logical
reason for denying a woman the
right of suffrage, and would like to
see the Legislature take this matter
up and attempt some serious, intel
ligent legislation on the subject.
This is a question which is generally
laughed down by unthinking men
and shelved as a good joke. No
man who seriously considers this
matter can treat it as a joke.
Taxation without representation
is as gross an injustice as WAS the
old system of compelling the blacks
of the South to work without pay.
We believe that the time will
come when in the march of enlight-
eminent men will be willing to ac-
cord women their rights and legis-
late 1ntelligently and justly on the
question OF their ability to assist In
the affairs of government.
A good many people raise the
trivial objection that women II
given the ballet will do all sorts OF
foolish things.
The question is not one of Proba-
BILE result but of the actual rights OF
women.
The question is not raised as to
what a foreigner will do if given the
rights of suffrage and we should
like to ask If American women
should be treated with less consid-
Grafton than foreign males.

ALL STAND IN.

The State Legislature met Mon
day and we believe that the mem
hers. one and all, meet with a firm
resolve to do the best that can be
done for the good OF Nevada. We
de not believe that great experience,
profound knowledge or eminent
ability are half as important in the
Legislature as strong conscience.
1t takes a good man to do the right
thing, but it takes smart man TO
make crooked path look straight,
even for a little while. Many who
go with good intentions will find
themselves met at the outset with
problems which, although they look
simple from a distance, they find
upon closer inspection to be intri-
cate and difficult. However, good
common sense, desire to do right
and the American adaptab;llty for
affairs will bring them to correct
conclusions nine times out OF ten If
left 10 themselves. But they will
not be left to themselves. People
will be there with axes to grind,
others will be there to oppose good
measures that threaten TO pinch
them or their friends. The prcfes-
sional lobby IN many States is bar
to needful legislation, but we cannot
believe that where there is uni
vsrsal demand for necessary changes
as there is in this State at this time
that anyone VIII stand in the way
for selfish purposes. The present
session promises to be a valuable
one for the State, and it may be
that we will owe as much to those
whose experience in former bodies,
or as agents for outside claims, have
given them a knowledge OF details
in legislation aad of the States
needs, as we will to the members
themselves.

Senator Stanford has this to
say concerning the Chinese question
Which has been recently reopened
by the San Francisco Examiner:
"The Cinnamon, said he, are
not leaving the country very fast,
and the number OF those who are is
more than offset by those who come
in from Canada at various points
along the border. The trouble in
the fruit districts, in my judgment,
will be only temporary. If addi-
tional labor is needed it can be sup
piled from class oil white men in
the East. The rates of transporta-
ton are low, and it would be better
for the Pacific Coast to supplant the
Chinese with the whites, especially
such class as would be drawn
thither by the prosect Of. steady
work at a good rate of pay"
