LETTER IRON BAY ST. LOUIS.

very last family leave for New Or
leans, who had passed the summer
There. Anyone familiar with II
winter in Bay st. Louis can readi-
ly picture the deserted streets aud
the bleak winds that howl on the
beach and Of cold mornings
around the corners. The days are
lonely enough, but the nights are
as calm as a summer day in the
pine woods. The moon shines,a and
the pretty, modest stars peep oui
half shyly, as If they were going
to shine ont without an audience.
Why, | think the sound ct SKA
ty-did' on the night air would be
a blessed relief from the awful
stiffness. And a Bay St. Louis
brass band would be a comforting
and hearl-consOllng variation.
A good French lady for years
has been IN the habit of telling me
wait you see the northern peep"
coming, then times will be better"
| am waiting 10 see them come
his winter and ill our vacant
streets and hotels, and take the
places of the late departed sum
mel visitor. The northern visitor
generally prefers the Bay because
II Is 50 near 10 New Orleans, and
that is an Inducement not to be
overlooked. Then by the first of
January Capt. T0ulme will have
his new hotel finished aud
ready to accommodate just as
many as will come. The hotel is
10 be fitted up for winter as we'll
as sumner and is to be in all re-
spectS a fi~rst-rlass hotel. Now,
with such a hotel, and a railroad
that can make a mile IA minute,
there can be no reason why the
health and pleasure seeker from
the north and west should not
squat here until the SHOWS OF the
north melt. If | live rs long as
the average | expect TO see a daily
train u on this coast 10 take peO-
pie to the theatre and opera and re.
iurn same night. That will be when
the coast towns are full of north
ern peep and the hotels are as
full as1hey are here in summer,
There is nothing like waiting, and
il we possess NJ souls with pa.
lience the good days will surely
come.
The Constitutional Convention
did one good thing and that was to
leave well enough alone. | mean
the prohibition of the fair sex from
a participation in elections and
politics. A woman needs many
things more than The ballot. She
needs love and kindness, and less
hard work. She needs more pro-
lection from cold and hardShips Of
various kinds. She needs a higher
education in order 10 be compe-
tent to bring up The voters OF the
country so as to be sure they will
be fitted 10 WELD the ballot she
has been debarred from. 1t is The
mother that mOuIds the son,and no
matter how high a man may rise
in the world, he can always safely
say he owes it to the early training
and good advice Of his mother, so
after all let moi The good wives and
mothers feel sorry they are dis
franchised. They are the power
behind the throne, and their good
influence at home, around the
sweet and happy fireSide will out
count a vote cast at The polls.
The Mckinley bill is touching
the lair ones in a way. Some OF
them feel tempted 10 wish they
did have Il voice in the Govern
ment. 1t is bad enough TO put up
the price on tobacco and mems
clothing, but to come TO dress goods
and other things necessary for wo-
men, is just lawfully awful The
innocent must suffer with the gull
ty. The ncn.yGter must put up
with the same ills That the voter
does. 1t strikes ne that things
are very u~nequally divided in this
world and that a Mckinley tariff
bill is a mo~nstrously wicked thing.
