WOMAN suFFRAaR.


The campaign just closed in Oh

The cause OF woman's political en-
franchisement has received more sub
stantial aid and obtained arme
footing than il has ever before got
Ten through more direct champion

This fact is attributable TO two fac
tors. The first and doubtless the
strongest, was the unconscious trend
OF sentiment which grew out of q
broad acceptance Of the alliance mot
to, Equal rights to all and special
10 none"
The idea Of perfect equity has e1-
panded and become fixed TO a degree
never before attained. While men
we're considering the injustice of
special privileges to certain classes Of
heir own sex they were awakened
and enlightened along a line Of
thought parallel with exact justice to
hose OF the opposite sex.
The second and more obvious fac

A Tempting Offer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Col. A. j. Snitler,
wealthy Kansas City cattle man,
who is in this city. had a consult alton
with some stockmen yesterday and as
a result sent "a message to Chief Mays,
OF the Cherokee Nation, rendering 81 o.
100000 in cash for the $500 900
acres of land known as the Cherokee
Strip. 1t is understood that he makes
the offer as the representative of the
Cherokee Strip Live Stock association.
Govern ment officials say the Chero-
KEGS have no right to sell their land to
the parties. The Cherokee legislature
Is IN session, and Col. Snider says he
expects a reply to his telegram Mon
