NOT MUCH PROGRESS.

While the women were voting in mu-
nicipal elections in Kansas and congress
was giving its Endorsement to full
handed suffrage in Wyoming, and South
Dakota is about to strike the word male
out of its constitution, it was thought
favorable time to show that the cause is
gaining in the East, also. The bill to
give women the ballot in city elections
was hopefully pressed TO vote in the
Massachusetts, legislature few days
ago, and crushed by 117to 40. The cause
is making no advance in the East, and it
is doubtful that 1t is gaining ground in
any section that can be held perma-
nently. There is not much in the little
nominal successes CT the outskirts, as it
were. These little fads in Kansas, Wy
oming and South Dakota have hardly
more meaning than that the men are
good-natured and inclined to any novel
ties that interest the ladies. 1t has been
, a joeular matter in Kansas. After the
ladies have mad the fun time,
OF two, very few of the better class of
them care to keep it up. There has been
a steady dropping off at each election.
But small fraction Of them voted in
any towns. except the few where they
wanted to work some little scheme or
worry some woman. Give them the
ballot and they won't vote unless they
feel like it. 1t is stated that, with few
exceptions, the voting they did in Kan
sas was not participated in by the more
cultured and intelligent. There is a
disposition in some quarters to impose
fines upon men who fail to discharge
this duty. 1t is one of the problems of
the statesman to learn how to make the
men vote. If there is to be added to
this the cOnundrum how to get the
ladies to the ballot box, the legislative
mind will be overloaded.

SILVER AGITATION.

1t must he source of modification to
Mr.. WINDOW that his silver plan re-
ceives so little consideration at the
hands of congress. His plan had the
single merit of being the ouly sugges-
ton that has come from the HARRIS ON
administration which might be dig
nified with the appellation of policy.
That it was bad policy does not de-
tract from its distinction..in this respect;
hence to have the majority party in
both branches of congress, which is
presumably in sympathy with the adj
ministration. treat it with more in
difference than they would sugges-
ton from the lord mayor of London or
from the governor of the Fiji Islands
is indeed a humiliation of the first
water.
1t does not follow, however, that con-
gress is to be blamed for this apparent
indignity TO the administration. The
silver question is an old issue before the
country. and has had the fullest discus
sion. The people have clearly made up
their minds as to what they want, and
congress is beginning to learn the fact.
IT was well enough understood at the
time Mr.. WINDOW went into the cabi-

PIERRE, S. d., April 25.-It TRANSFERRED
to-day that a syndicate of capitalists
from the Twin Cities, among whom are
Gov. Merriam and Tams Bixby, has ac-

road to-day to Aberdeen. Work will
commence on grading i'll the course of
few weeks, and the line will be COM

HELPING HILL.

The Republicans in the New York leg
islature are helping Gov. HILL out of
the hole he got into by his vetoes of the
SAXToN ballot reform bill. The author
OF the measure and the governor got to-
gether and agreed upon a bill that
would meet executive approval. Such
bill was introduced into the legislature,
whereupOn the Republican members
went into caucus and decided not to
support it. The new bill was an i'm
provement upon the old, as was admit
ted by the most adent advocates of ballot
reform. yet the Republican majority re-
fused to accept it. They did not want
ballot reform, but simply wished to
score point against the Democratic
governor, and in order to do that called
I'D the old bill and repassed it, in the
full consciousness that it would again
be vetoed. The result is that the peo-
pie of the Empire state are disguised
with the Republican legislature, and are
eultivating better feeling for the gov
ernor who had too much backbone to be
bulldozed by the legislative tricksters.

Emin was at Wadelai. had made a sworn
deposition before Mason Bey to the eff

solely due to the discovery of Emin's
plans to surrender his province to the

clerks statements, sent three messen-

but they were seized and stopped by
Emin's officers. The revolt followed
this discovery. Mason Bey considers
