be delegations here from every coun-

In advocating his proposition To en-
franchise the property owning wo-
men of the State, Capt. John w. Fe-
well said: "The pure minded and re-
fined woman is the refuge of Ameri-
can liberty. Her thoughts are only
for the good, justice, truth and right.
Mississippi was the first of all the
States to emancipate her women from
the restrictions of subserviency to
men in their property rights. Before
the courts of this State a woman has
all the rights of man, and why shall
she net win the further applause OF
all enlightened people and say to her
women-the educated and prope rty.
holding class-that they shall have a
voice in the legislation which is to
govern them and their property ?"

The LEADER heartily approves the
plan of Delegate Fewell outlined on
first page, of enfranchising the intel
ligent, property owning women of the
State, but we would go little farther
than Mr.. Jewell in two particulars.
We would let all women thus enfran-
chised have the option of casting their
votes themselves as well as by proxy,
and we would not insert a proviso
against their holding Office, leaving
that question open to be determined
by circumstances and woman's own
good sense.

How The VEissiaslppi VVas made.


As a possible theory OF the origin
of the Mississippi river. among the
many that have at different times
been brought forward by noted
scientists, the most accent is the
suggestion that its erosion was
accomplished by means Of a mighty
cataract, which began far down TIE
river, near its original mouth, anjl
by gradual retrogressing dug out
the valley like q gorge. That this
theory is tenable may be inferred
from the high, wall like bluffs--fea
lures 10 characteristic in the upper
part Of It's course. A wearing away
ola monster cataract would, of
course necessarily leave high bluffs
on either eide, which are we'll known
features OF "the father 6 meaM
dering .steams." 1t would seem
according to this theory; That S..
Anthony falls constitute the rem.
nant Of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the word
1t is estimed that it must taken
100000 years to carve the mighty
ditch.-St. Louis Republic.
