Some few weeks since we sug-
gested that Eden Alley and Jail street
be extended. Our people at once began
to consider the suggestion and have
signed in large numbers this week a
petition carried around by our wide
awake, progressive Chief of Police
asking the city dads to extend these
streets and to widen Eden Alley, which
just now can be done at little expense.
We trust that the petition will meet the
approval of the Councilman, and an or
der passed that will at once start this
important work. This extension of
these streets, would be one of the best
improvements made in Edenton for
many years.

Making Democrats OF Negroes.

BIRMINGHAAI, Ala, June 26.-CharleA
H. j. Taylor, a negro lawyer of At
lanta, who was minister to Liberia
during the Cleveland administration,
proposes to take tho colored voters
over to the Democratic party in n
body. Taylor has perfected q plan
for q convention to be held in Atlanta
next month, to be composed of one
colored delegate from each State in
the Union. The purpose of the con-
Vention, as announced by Taylor, is
to decide upon the best plan Of pro
pairing figures to prove to the negroes
that they have never received any
favors from the Republican. party and
never will receive any. In an inter
view with the Sun correspondent to-
day Taylor said that he has visited
number of States, North and South,
in the interest of his plan, and every
where finds most of the educated
and intelligent negroes in full SYM
pathy with the movement. They be-
GIN to realize, he says, that they can
never hope to be more than mere vot-
ing machines while they remain in
the Republican party, and that their
altrlends are the Democrats. Tay-
lor thinks fully 100000 negro voters
Will vote the Democratic ticket at the
next national election.

HapDy Women.

What is it that makes women more
smiling and happy looking than men!
We meet them on tho cars, on the
streets, in the country, by tho sea
shore, always smiling, teeth glistcn
ing, eyes dancing. All! the secret
is thoy aim to please. 1t is an effort
in many instances for them to smile,
and were it not for desire to look
pleasing and pretty many would
never smile again. Why? Because
i'll large majority of instances they
don't feel like smiling They feel
more like crying. With theirncrvous
aches, weakness and bearing down
pains, life to them is a burden. What

the woman must be that leader. Run
ming through all animal life the male IS,
with rare exceptions, the absolute ruler.
The male is superior in size, mind and
courage. The barn-fowl male is about
One-third larger; he Is armed with spurs,
his bill Is crooked and strong for Of
Tense and defense, his neck-the most
vulnerable parts clothed with long
thick feathers, and like the tough and
wrinkled hide of the bull dog, and the
name of the lion, is a defense. None of
these are found in the females. So man
Is larger than woman, with hair cover
ing his throat, as IN the cases named,
for shield. So in the nervous, vascu-
lar and muscular systems man stands
superior for Offense and defense. Physi-
cally, then, he is the leader. Mentally
he holds the same rank. In all the
varied fields Of intellectual effort no
woman has ever held the first place.
And SO In courage, in self-possession and
judgment and all the moral qualities
which support command, the man is su-
periOr, The question then remains:
Does the right OF woman suffrage over
throw the natural leadership of the fam
lily? l think it does. Politics leads to
the most intense hatreds and bloody
feuds. II the woman agrees with the
man, her suffrage is useless. If she does
not, the difference is fatal to the family.
Il do not say that man is superior in
all things. One sex IS the supplement of
the other; and so the physical, moral
and intellectual developments are in
some sense opposite. A bearded woman
and a beardless man are mon
strosities. And the sum of the
faculties of all kinds may
be admitted to be equal, but their
spheres are different, and mans is the
sphere Of leadership and government.
In the exercise of the suffrage all the
bulwarks which the wisdom of all ages
has placed around woman's virtue are
levelled at one blow. The Injuries of
conquering Rome corrupted the whole
people. Then the chastity Of woman
was lost. Then came anarchy. conquest
and slavery. Catalina first violated the
sacred scenes of the Eleusinian mysteries
before he attempted the assassination of
the senate and the destruction of the re-
public. Eighteen hundred years have
not etfaced the ruins of woman's fall.

Prohibition parties may flourish and
may fade, but woman suffrage gained,

IN the manner described, prior 10 noon of

trance into the. territory between the 2nd
day of March and the 22nd of April, 1889,
without any fraudulent purpose or intent,
and who did not seek to or secure any
advantage thereby. was such violation
of the law as to disquaify him from
ever being permitted to enter any of
said lands, or acquire any right thereto.
We therefore find as matter Of fact.
that defendant, James Ben Lee. did not

omission. Columbus, KY, is also ex-
asperated at the snuD given that
village under the bluff, which still holds
to the infatuatiOn that it Is some day to
be the capital of the nation. because Of a
tradition that says that President Jack

standing on the "Chalk Banks" as the

is really too bad that these two historic
