FROM THE BOSTON JOURNAL
The Vote OF The Women.

We observe a di IMPOSITION on the part Of
some Of our contemporaries, near and re-
mote, 10 jump at the conclusion that, BE-
cause sixteen or seventeen thousand wOm-
en-, more or less, voted in the rain for
school committee In Boston, the objections
to general women suffrage are answered,
and the concession of at least the mum
cipal franchise to woman has been made
a foregone con fusion. We venture to
say that this reasoning is altogether too
hasty, and is unwarranted by any careful
examination of the facts.
We will not consider now the motive
which prompted 80 large vote on the
part of registered women. nor will We
analyze the returns to discover just how
far or in what way the vote Of the women
affected the general result. Taking
simply the fact that SO many thousand
women voted, and considering this fact. a.
1t should be considered, in connection with
us that so far from establishing the de-
stability Of municipal or general suffrage
for women, this episode strengthens one
Of the chief objections to such suffrage
Those who have objected to giving the
ballot to women have always commended
that the vote of women would be a capri
cious and spasmodic factor. They have
argued that when some issue was promi-
nent which appealed strongly TO the emo
tons, women voters would respond; but
that when the matters to be settled were
only the ordinary questions OF candidates
and policies, involving considerations with
which the average woman has no acquain-
lance, and In which she feels no interest.
women would he Indifferent, and the re-
enforcement % the better elements Of adj
ministration, promised through their aid,
would not he forthcoming. The woman's
vote on school committee in Boston cor
roborate- this view. The relations of the
school to the home, the Importance of ed
ucttional interests, the necessity of a
proper administration of the schools -
these have been always what they are to-
day. Yet, until this last election. only a
handful Of women have taken the trouble
to register in oroer that they might be
qualified to vote; and, of this handful,
sometimes hardly more than half have
taken the further trouble to vote. What
we need in our politics, on the part of all
who are endowed with the suffrage, is n
steady. persistent attention to public
affairs.

The Pretty Girls OF Ireland.

The foreign correspondence of the san

SOMETHING FOR TIE LITTLE
FOLKS
THE ELDER DUCK.

! hardly know why the subject of elder
down comes to my mind, AS one about
which few interesting things may b.
said, but without trying to settle the
why's on that point, will proceed to tell
you about some of the habits of the elder
duck from which is obtained the light and
valuable substance called eider-down The
eider-duck lives In the Northern countries
of Europe, AS well as Greenland and Ice
land. They live in large fiocks, and pre-
fer some small island near the shore to
the mainland. These islands are usually
the property of one or few persons,
whose business ii is to watch the nests of
these birds. They build their nests and
line them with soft down. The mother
bird then lays her eggs and covers them
with down. A collection of this down is
made from the scores and hundreds of
nests around. 1t is again furnished from
the breast of the mother bird. until she
has robbed herself of nearly all her own
warm down, when the male bird makes
the same sacrifice, and plucks from his
own breast the needed warmth for the
eggs and young. A single nest is said to
yield five or six ounces, and often more of
this valuable article. These birds are
priced very highly by persons who own

New Hampshirs's constitutional onven-
tioa Il u session. One change which will
be made In the Constitution viii be q
change Of the time for holding legislative
sessions. These are now held 10 June. Ii
IL proposed 70 bold them In January. That
will save the State from having the annoy
ing vacancy In the United States Senate
which now occurs from March 70 June, on
the expiration Of senatorial terms, unless
the Governor fills it by special appoint
ment. Another important change is pro-
pesed-to elect the Governor, and some
oeher officers, by plurality vote That
would be right. In this regard We en-
dorse the language of the Hartford Times,
that the undemocrztic and anti-republicap
system Of requiring majority, over all
other candidates, in order to elect Gov
ernor, is no longer tolerated In many
States Connecticut is one of the two or
three that still keep up the bad system
and it offers premium to corruption, BY
making it possible for any aspiring politi-
clan who Ia rich, to buy up enough votes

tives to tn. Legislature, to make sure his

Southern Methods Denounced BY .
Leading SoutI ern Democratic News

II sppall, thinking men to know, to see
that the present generation and the rising
generation of white men in the South are
taught, in practice, that Republican iustitu-
tons are failure, and that elections are to
be carried not BY the honest vote of fair
majority, but by campaigning which begins
with rat k intimidation, and ends in subter-
fuge and evasion. 1t demoralizes the white
men of the South. and, for the sake Of the
young men especially. the News and
Courier asks that their sres and grandsires
who are still In politics, will see to ii that
no pulling sentiment or supposed necessity
or even the diminutiou of political power
shall prevent them from giving their worthy
conutensnce to any policy that will save the
young men from further degre iation. and
from the beliefs and methods which cor
rupt their political faith. and so poison the
fountain of Democratic rule at its very
source.
The above, from the Democratic Charles
ton News and Courier, freely admits the
shameful methods that have been prac-
ticed in the South, and points out the per-
uicious and dangerous consequences which
have resulted from robbing the colored
Republicans of tn. right of suffrage, aud
from the intimidation and ostracism
Of the white citizens who do not
wish to vote the Democratic ticket
The more respectable and conservative
of the Democrats are learning that evil
devices are turning to plague their in
ventors. They are finding out that the
foremost of those who successfully re-
sorted to fraud, terrorism, and the tissue
ballot, TO defrsud and defeat their politi-
cal opponents. have learned to use the
same violent and corrupt methods against
their political associates. They are learn
ing by bitter experience what the French
revolutionists of l1S9-l79a were compelled
