ADVANCE OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Edwin q. Pierce, ESQ President of the
Union Club of Providence, r. l., in an
address at its recent annual banquet, made
the following manly avowal:
GO will not turn from the subject of
Democracy without the frank expression
of my own conviction that the denial of
the elective franchise to one-half of hu
manity has no sanction in natural justice
or in expediency; and for the cheer of
those who think as do in this matter,
point to the steady advance towards full
eufranchisement which woman is making.
Women vote for school officers in many
States they vote for all municipal Off
GERS in Kansas, and shortly the proclama-
ttCn of the President will be issued an
nouncing admission into the Union of the
State of Wyoming, under whose Constitu-
ton women will vote in all elections. In
my opinion the general enfranchisement
of women is much nearer than is com.
monty supposed, and will give a great
strenth to temperance and labor reform
legislation"

THE NATIONS DEAD HEROES.

Let the choicest flowers be strewn on
the green mounds that mark their resting
place. We know of no more touching ex.
preston of our feelings of respect and graf
ltude, or it should be shown to their mem
ory to day. No matter what gifts we offer
or what marks of respect we show them,
there will forever remain due the dead
heroes, from the present and future gen.
crations, an unpaid debt of gratitude.
The appropriate observance of Memorial
Day and other national holidays is an in
structive lesson to the young, who, living
under the liberal and beneficent institu.
tions of our own country, are apt to Use
sight of the price that was paid for our
liberty and the tremen1 1ous cost of main

termin .the extent of their love for our

Eloped From School.

PITTSBURGH, May Yesterday the
fact leaked out that Miss Elizabeth Nor
ris, of Girard, Ohio, student of the
Pittsburgh Female College, on Eighth
street, eloped few weeks ago with a
young Alleghenian. The young lady is of
age, but her parents and friends were op-
posed to the marriage sue contemplated.
The name OF ner successsu beau is not
known at the college. She met
him for the first time at her home.
The rules of the college are strict
as to the visitors the pupils
are allowed to receive, The officers of
the institution say that both Miss Morris
and her sister told what was not true in
alleging that they had their parents per-
mission to receive the elder sisters lover
The fact of his being more than a mere
friend was kept away from the college
Presidents knowledge.
Miss Morris used to meet her beau at the
house of friend, a young married woman
who lives in Allegheny. A few weeks
ago, on Sunday, she left for Greensburg,
Pa, where she was married. Then she
went home and after week or'so returned
to the college. Her whereabouts are a
secret. On last Friday her mother came
here to take the younger daughter home

MEMORIAL DAY REFLECTIONS.


Many orators and writer's have set forth
many points in which the war for the
Union differed from all others. and yet it
is not too late to point out wherein its
consequences and the years following it
have differed from everything in previous
history. At the close of the war nearly
all foreign critics predicted and many
Americans feared, certain evil results,
such as had followed all previous civil
wars. 1t was predicted that the disband.
ing of million men would leave fearful
element of vagrancy afoat; that the
vanquished would renew the conflict at
the first fair opportunity; that the Gov.
ernment credit would sink; that liberty
would be destroyed by military methods,
and dire evils of many kinds follow in the
line of local strife and guerilla war.
How little did these prophets of evil
understand the American nature. 70
say that the exact opposite happened in
each case is too mild statement. Every
evil that has come differed from the one
predicted, and of all elements in the popu-
lation the most conservative is that from
which innovation and perhaps revolution
was feared. Evils enough have como,
but not from the veterans north oil south
not from the public debt, not from re.
vival of old issues and most certainly not
from any curtailment of the citizens per.
s)nal liberty.
On the contrary, the disbanded soldiers
rushed into the ranks of industry with a
zeal that seemed almost like greed: and
it is matter of laughter that, instead of
complaint for their laxity, there is occa-
sional criticism for their push. The Gov.
ernment credit rose rapidly to be the best
in the world, and the surplus national
vigor overflowed IN public enter
prlses that astonished the world. The
paroled Confedcratcs went to their plan
tations, off, es and shops with sort of
fiery energy they had never shown be-
fore. and through all the southern States
the c, e of the patriot Is cheered at sight
of Federal AID Confederate IN business
partnerships and generous rivalry.
Why this reversal OF all previous ex-
perence The answer is in one word
Principle. 1t was war for principles
North and south, men went into it to fight
for their honest faith the point settled
they carried their principles into civil life
again. II was no mercenarY army. A
few mercenaries, of course, there were,
but most Of them imbibed something of
the spirit of the mass. Honor TO the
soldiers who fought for principle. all
honor to the veterans who retain
then honored principles in peace

A BILL has been framed by Representa-
tive Oates, of Alabama, which, if passed.
will compel all aliens holding lands in the
United States to sell them at once or have
the titles forfeited. The measure is aimed
at the big syndicates that now hold mill
lions of acres Of land in the West and are
constantly acquiring millions more. 1t
is believed that majority Of the mem
bers of the House of Representatives
favor the bill.
