WOMEN AT THE POLLS.

The politicians of North Dakota in their
great eagerness TO get their blizzard-swept
territory into the Union, botched their
constitution in one particular at least.
The article relating TO woman suffrage ia
already in the courts demanding inter-
due TO the over fastidiousness of the
women of that hyperboreau common
wealth, who fancied that special pro-
vision should be made at the coming fall
election for their convenience. Through
an intermeddling woman suffragist as
ISOLATION, demapd on the authorities
was formulated asking that separate
polling places be set apart for the
women. The reason assigned for the de-
mand was that the women should not be
subjected to the humiliation and discom-
fort of reaching the polls through jost-
ling crowds of Ill hammered, profane and
foul mouthed men.
The application was taken under con-
sideration by the county commissioner
VI UIduu rUThs. luz TesulL Oh IL Is tQaL
the states attorney, John NJ. Cochrane,
has filed an opinion recommending no:
only that the demand for separate polling
places be denied, but that the privilege
of voting at all at q general election be
refused to women, until the courts shall
have determined the extent of the fran
chise granted them by the constitution.
There is question whether the franchise
is general and absolute, or limited TO
school elections.
In the meantime the women, eager to
enjoy the novelty of voting, Will have to
possess their souls in patience. land endure
the provoking set-bac with such grace
as they can summon. The plea which
they made for separate election boxes is
q virtual confession that participating in
practical politics is not in their line. 1t
appears also to contradict the claim
made by the advocates of woman suf-
frage that the presence of women at the
polls will have an elevatlng and purifying
effect on practical politics.

THE WAY OUT OF 1T.
Treasury officials AMI Financiars Express
Opinions on the Money StrIngancy.
Various Remedies Suggested.

| NEW YORK, Sept. Is. Secretary Win
| dom was in consultation here day with
! a score or more OF bankers and Others in
regard TO the stringency in the money
market. The question OF putting ths
government money on deposit in the ma
tional banks was brought up at the con-
ference. Secretary Window reiterated
the position of the government, and EN-
phatically declared that such proceeding
was impossible. A proposition was dis
cussed of buying $50, 900 900 of 4 per cent.
bonds at 1875, but it was the opinion OF
some of those present that comparatively
few bonds would be offered for redemp-
ton at that price, as holders would de-
mand higher figure.
In regard TO the proposition of the
government preparing q years interest
on sixty-fve million currency
skies bonds. Secretary Win
dom stated congress would
have TO authorize the payment
of this advance interest. The proposition
which met with the unanimous approval
of those present, including the secretary,
was to suspend payment of customs du-
ties from November l, to February l.
In regard to the case, which is based
on the belief that a large amount OF
money, according to many, more than
s50, 200 200, would be required in New
York to pay the duties to take goods out
of bond in case the Mckinley bill goes
into effect October l Assistant Treasurer
Robertson says cit might be suggested
in the first place that this amount Is
overstated, for the custom authorities
have estimated tho amount OF
duty payable on goods now in
bond amounts to more than $40 900, O00
In the second place, IL these goods Gre
Withdrawn in large amounts and thrown
upon the market, it will have u tendency
to check IMPORTS, so that the amount OF
revenue received will be diminished. At
any rate it should not increase the strin-
gency. 1t would be wise in my opinion,
for congress to extend the time within
which the goods now in bond could be
withdrawn, or the conference committee
might decide upon such course This would
tend TO relieve the market, and in any
aspect of loss do not think there is any
serious ground for alarm.
S. N. White went to Washington lasc
night and has been in conference with
the members of the senate finance and
house ways and means committees. He
says "there is no doubt whatever that
be time Tor the Withdrawing
of goods from bond will be excluded.
The treasury is to do everything possible
for the relief of the money invested, and
will continue to afford all relief which
may be found necessary, for the ship
ments Of currency have been heavier this
week than any previous one this
season. Nearly all the currency
shipped went West and South.
There has been heavy outward move
ment of gold, $500 900 going to san
Francisco. Secretary Window said be
would probably take steps at once to
purchase some government 4 per cents
but how many he should redeem he de-
clined to state. He intends to remain in
New York several days and take all nee
essary steps to relieve the stringency in
the money market.

ABOUT FORT WORTH.
What the Pluckiest City in Texas is Doing and
frying to Do-Notes Of
Progress.
THE COMING CONVENTION.

AS Hon. Barnett Gibbs says, the man
ton to be held here on September "a is
the greatest move ever inaugurated for
Texas, and from oil present indications
the convention will be a success. The
cities, towns and trade organizations
continue to be heard from in the selec-
tion Of delegates. Tyler, Dallas, Dub
lin and q number of other places have
elected delegates in the past few days.
Negotiations are now pending with
the railroad companies for rates 10 the
delegates. Secretary Biden is doing con-
siderable work In the East bringing the
convention to the notice OF manufacture
ers there. The great object of the con-
vention is to take such steps as will show
the great manufacturers who desire to
come to this state what can be done and
what may be expected. 1t is also the
intention to show that large wholesale
houses will find Texas q profitable field.
The cities which have not taken action
should select delegates ar once.

to-day than ever before, and the demand
for houses is greater by far than ever be-
fore. The industrial masses are the
greatest buyers of property, be-
cause they far outnumber all other
classes. Real estate must get
its value from the men who
buy 50xl00 feet on which to build home.

RE11D F4nrnPfEs

When the Hon. Barnet Gibbs said to q
GAZETTE reporter day or two ago, that
Eve are 50 muctths slaves of the East
as the negroes were our slaves, - and
furthermore, that the East looks on
Southerners as so many chumps, he
stated what is to some extent humiI-
iating truth and q stubborn fact. The
insufferable arrogance and insulting
impudence OF Eastern politicians is the
logical outcome of commercial suprem-
aey and manufacturing wealth in that
section. For years and years, the pow
efs of government have been per verified
to the building up Of tna commercial
supremacy, and the people of the South
unable to prevent the unjust favoritism,
have done nothing more than to protest
against it in vain. Perhaps they were
until recently unable, for good and suffi-
cient reasons, TO do no more. But thai
not true now. The era of development
that overspread the West soon afer the war
has recently begun IN the South, whose
agricultural and mineral wealth exceeds
that of any section of the Union. She has
what no other section has, the raw ma
terial for nearly all the textile fabrics
needed in the country, and in cotton she
has enough for two such countries as the
United States, with cotton to spare. Yet
all, or nearly oil, her cotton and WOO
still go, as they have gone for 100 years
or moro, to New England, TO be man
ufactured and resold to us for a
gum nearly double that paid us for
the raw material. Is it wonderful that
New England should sneer at and treat
the South with contumely and contempt,
that her Reeds, Blairs, Chambers and
Lodges should mock our pretensions and,
with studied malice, invent ways for in
sulting and humiliating us? A man Is
apt to feel a sort of contempt for another
weaker thar himself, whose continued
weakness Is his own fault, and who could
be an athlete if he would. The con-
tempt felt for such one will be more
manifest when he leans for support upon
the stronger, instead of trying to become
self-supporting and III manner indie
pendent. Texas sells her cotton to
New England, when she might
manufacture it herself, if she would.
The money received for it is paid back
again to the New Highlander, and much
more along with it, and people wonder
why Texas has not more wealth, or why
New England has 80 much.
The farmer that sells his corn, instead
of converting it into beet and pork, is q
poor manager, and will always be on the
verge Of poverty. He will never get
ahead. just SO with the country that
sells its cotton and wool and buys both
back again at o largely increased price
in the form of clothing and other neces-
saries. There is no hope for such
country until 1t wakes up and utilities
the means with which providence has
favored it.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY.

The people following the leadership of
Tillman have captured the Offices in South
Carolina. They now have full control of
the Democratic organization in the state,
and after the election will assume con-
troll of the government, and with it the
responsibility belonging thereto. Till
man will be the next governor of the
state, aud the subsidiary offices will be
filled by Tillmanites. The Straighteuts
appear TO have submitted gracefully to
their overthrow, going no further than
to enter feeble protest against the ap-
pointment of lrby as chairman of the
state executive committee, and as such,
a participant in organizing the
convention. Having things in their
own hands, the Tillmanites Will have an
opportunity to show what they can do
within the limits Of state authority TO re-
move some Of the glazing evils COM
planned of and effect the reforms pointed
out during the canvas. OF coursa it is
assumed that they will succeed ut the
polls, as no coalition between the Repub-
licans and disgruntled Democrats is APP
pretended, or would succeed il UNDER
taken.
The platform adopted by the state con-
vention that nominated Tillman Is Of the
regulation Democratic order. 1t re-
nffirms the principles Of national DEM
ocracy, aud for local reasons calls for
the abolition of the internal revenue
system, contamination longed for in
Virginia and North Carolina as well. be-
cause of the large interests invested in
those states in tobacco and fruit BRAN
dies. McKinley's tariff bill, Lodges
force bill and Reeds dictatorship are
condemned in vigorous terms. 1t de-
clares against national banks, dealing in
futures, and in favor of an income tax.
No notice is taken OF the sub-treasury
foolishness or the loaning of money by
the government on real estate. The
platform rs whole is good enough and
has, it seems, won the appreciation of
the Charleston News and Courier, which
win support the ticket.

general reduction of passenger rates.
When road like the Alton makes a
two cent passenger rate in Missouri
other lines will follow il up like so many
sheep. Recently the Wyandotte aud

in the Suufiower state was on pins and
needles for two or three months in fear Of
q general order from the kansLs leEisia-
ture based on the theory that il one road
can make money ut two cents mile all
of them can do it. The Wyandot,s
spoiled the argument, however. by going
into the hands of a receiver soon after

1t IL Probable that the Chicago and Alton
will Initiate the Reform.
Notwithstanding railroad men claim
that all is quiet in passenger circles, and
that the white-winged angel of peace
hovers over the situation, it is fact
that this Is not SO. 1t may be that all
appears TO be quiet, and that to the out
side world there are no evidences of dis
turbance, but there is a spirit at work
that may at once develop into regular
revolution of passenger rntes in this
country. The question Of uniform
rate of two cents per milo has been dis
cussed for some time, and 1t is not at all
improbable that such a rate will be made
before q great while. 1t is even re-
ported, now that the Chicago and Alton
road is on the eve of making the rate
q regular passenger rate Of two csnts a
mile on all classes of travel. The recent
order making party rates for ten or
more persons will bring 1t on, some pas
senger men claim, and 1t may be that
the Alton will take the first step
In the movement. Some railroad men
claim that the party rate plan will
mean the absolute decentralization of
passenger affairs on account of the
operation of scalpers. who can under the
new party rate scheme buy tickets IN
blocks of ten CT twelve and peddle them
out at will.
The Alton is leading Western road
with an aggressive management, aud it
is regarded that 1t is more liable to take
the steps suggested herein than any
other line. Mr.. James Charlton, the
general passenger agent of the road, as
