wAYBAcK POLITICAL PROVERBS.
It's mighty poor Office that has to seek the
man.
Popular patriotism declares dividends
People at distance is sometimes mistaken,
because Congressman amt all mouth
Statesmen has got to raise a row sometimes
SOS the people won't think they amt earnin
Their wages.
Thar's good deal Of squawk to the Ameri-
can eagle.
When this great and glorious Republic of
our'n amt bigger'n political party, Its mighty
nigh time We was shuttin' it up fer repairs.
Mighty few men think they amt good enough
fer the Office.
Sayin' and meanin' amt no kin In politics.
Women is at the bottom Of eveverything
most, but the ballot box, and she's doin' all she
can to git thar, too.

THE DAKOTA.
Miss Anthony announced the members of the
finance committee for work in South Dakota
as follows: Miss Anna Shaw Miss Lucy Anthony,
Mrs. z. Freeman, Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. johnson
Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Meadow. Contribu.
tions were called for at once and were received
from all parts Of the house. Many of the state
delegation pledged themselves to subscribe
S10O apiece.
Many other contributions, varying from S2i
up, came in thick and fast from individuals and
states, and in the enthusiasm that was aroused
by these liberal promises the fact that series
Of resolutions was before the convention fol
action was completely forgotten. As one lady
expressed it, when we can have money we dc
not need talk" The editors of the Woman'l
Tribune and the Business Woman's Journal
each contributed 5000 copies of their papers
and sums Of money besides. In a few minutes
fully $1,000 was subscribed. ,,
THE PLATFORM.
The following resolutions, presented by the
committee on resolutions, were adopted az the
platform Of the association:
Whereas, The greatest question before the
American people today is the enfranchisement
OF woman, involving as it does the civil and po-
litical rights Of one-half the people; and
Whereas, The sole object OF the National
American association is to accomplish this pur
| pose; therefore
Resolved, That our platform in the future
| as In the past, must be broad enough to include
men and women Of all parties, sects and races
| to manifest Catholic spirit for all shades Of
| opinion, and ever to hold personal differences
| subordinate to the greater good that can b.
| accomplished by concentrated action.
That o government which excludes one-hali
OF its citizens because they are women 10 not q
true republic nor q genuine democracy, but ar
aristocracy Of sex at variance with reason and
| common sense.
| In view of the action now pending In Con
/ gress Affecting the right OF divorce, and
whereas the false idea Of masculine supremacy
In the home and the inequality Of the laws reg
ulating the marriage relation, which deny to
wives their equal rights to person, property
and children are principal cause OF domestic
| discord and consequent divorce; and whereas
| the vital interest of women In this class of
questions makes 1t doubly imperative mat they
| should have an equal voice in making the lawi
| affecting these relations, therefore
| Resolved, That there should be no further
legislation on this subject until woman has .
voice In the national government
| Whereas by the principles Of the Declare
ton Of Independents and BY the spirit Of the
National Consultation women are citizens and
| should be voters, therefore
Resolved, That the disfranchisensnto Of one
half the people Of the nation b an unjust -
sumption Of power BY those administering thu
government
! That We rejoice in the growing recognition

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. ll.-The
contest for postmaster ut Charleston, W.

case has gone over for another week. It
Is understood that Atkinson Is still in
the race, and has hope that the Presi.
dent will ignore Mr.. Wanamaker's rec.
ommendation and appoint him to tho
position. Major Gaines is working ha.d
Tor his aspirant, while Major McGinnis
Is confident that Mr.. Hanna will be the
lucky man. The fight is three cor
nOred one, and Is becoming very bitter,
and no matter how 1t is decided Its
effects will doubtless be felt for a long
while. There is rumor that General
Goi' has been called on to settle the con.
troversy, and there was another that he
would be here in few days for that
purpose. But this Ia probably not true.
The contestants are Messrs. Hanna,
