KANSAS WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.

From the Emporia Republican
The Leavenworth Times takes the Re-
publican to task for saying that the
woman suffrage bill pending in the legis-
lature should not pass because women do
not want to vote and because equal suf-
frage would hurt the Republican party
in this state. The Times admits that the
bill is prob bly, unconstitutional, and
does not dispute that women as class
do not desire the ballot. 1t claims, how
ever, that if only one woman should
want to vote the privilege should be &C
corded her.
Let us see. To invest women with
political rights and duties would be a
radical and sweeping innovation IN our
state policy and laws. Are such lnnova-
tions ever justified when only a small
portion of the population demand or de-
sire them? Is it sound craftsmanship TO
overturn established and time-hOnored
usages concerning SO vital a matter as
the elective franchise. at the behest
of small minority? Enfranchise-
ment confers not only privileges
but sacred duties. If women are
made voters, public burden Is imposed
upon all women in the state who have
reached 81 years Of age. is 1t right that
several hundred thousand women should
be burdened with an unsought respon-
sibility in order to quiet the clamors of a
mere handful?
So far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, there is little reason to doubt
that at present it would lose much more
than it would gain by such change.
The picnics of last fall are pretty conclu-
sive evidence that if women voted at all
| the ballots would be cast principally by
| the Alliance women of the country. The
opposition to the Republican party
would thus be considerably strengthened
without corresponding increase on the
Republican side. Whether regarded as
measure of justice or party policy
therefore. Republicans cannot afford &c
encourage the woman suffrage idea IN
| Kansas, to say nothing OF aiding In the
passage of an unconstitutional suffrage

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.

Two boycotters belonging to the United
Brewers association received sentence
in New York court last
Wednesday which should serve
as warning to labor Or
CARNATIONS that indulge in violent meas
ures to carry their ends. These boycott
tiers broke the plate-glass windows OF
liquor dealer who had refused to dlscon-
tinue dealings with firm which the as
ISOLATION had boycotted. They were
sentenced to the penitentiary for mail
cious injury to property. Mr.. Purdy'
their attorney, asked for clemency before
the sentence was given on the ground
that it was only "1abor trouble. and
received the following answer from
Judge MARITIME, which is well worth
reading;
II differ with you Mr.. Purdy," he said.
"Workingmen undoubtedly have the
right to organize unions and other asso-
Citations of a lawful character for the
purpose of helping each other in every
legitimate way. But l have no sym
pathy with men who. as individuals or
officers or members of organizations OF
workingmen, resort to the destruction OF
property or any other sort of disturbance
of the public peace, or injury to private
interests, to further tn If own ends OF
those of their organizations. Because
the complainant refused to cease dealing
with brewers with whom he wished tC
deal, simply because the union to which
the defendants belong had declared a
boycott against those brewers, the com
plainant's property was injured. Such
a proceeding is unlawful. and men who
are disposed to resort to such a course
must be taught that the law will punish
them severely"

KANSAS AT THE MARDI GRAS.

The Galveston News thus describes the
Kansas float in the Mardi Gras parade:

daughters of Kansas, representing her
state and bearing its coat of arms. stand
ing under an immense sunttower as a
canopy and surrounded by grove of

The humorous side of the picture was
the presentation on the rear of the float
of an immense ear of corn, upon which
was perched very aole-bodied grass
hopper, a natural product of Kansas. 1t

insect, the proportions of its anatomy

invasion of its natural enemy"

The latest agony in fashionable society
is to write town." in the lower right
hand corner of the envelope instead of
"city," for local letters. OF course,
many postal clerks accustomed to city
will be annoyed and delayed considera-
bly, by the unfamiliar town" but then
the fad is English, and anyway postal
clerks are becoming resigned to the extra
labor caused by some people who will
insist on eccetricities in addressing and
stamping their letters.

Especial tetcgr6m 70 tns Di5peUhJ
DAxvulr, VA. January Mr.. John
Parrot, an employe OF the hicnmonoh anu
Danyille railroad. met with a horrible
death This morning at Dundee Crossing:
Mr.. Parrot occupied position in the yard
which il known to the railroad people as
"hostler,n 1t was his duty to take engines
to and from the round-house. This morn
mo he was on the shifting-engine and at
tempted to lump of while the engine WAS
IN motion but caught his foot and WAS
thrown under the great iron wheels. Inc

passed over the poor man and mangied MN
in frighttul manner. A coroner inques,t
was held and a verdict rendered In accord,
ance with the above facts. The deceased
was a widower with one child and was
native of North Carolina. He was sober
and industrious and had the respect and
good will of all who knew him.
WHAT WAS SAID.
A railroad-man who visited this city
several months ago told O we'll known citi-
zen that the English bondholders had as
sumed control Of the Atlantic and Dan
vile road, and that it would be their
policy TO make the road default on its
interest charges, and thus force 1T into
the hands Of receiver, the object being
TO wipe out the stock held by the counties
and the cities along the line OF the road.
Nobody here knows these things to be
true. but there is little doubt that the an
tagonism of the county representatives at
the recent meeting of the stockholders had
much TO do with the course the English
men have pursued.
THE PROBABLE REASONS.
In that meeting the parties representing
the stock of the several counties, that had
subscribed to the road raised the point
that the stock held by the Englishmen had
not been paid for in money and was not
entitled to vote. The Englishmen were
much annoyed by the spirit of opposition
thus manifested, and probably determined
to force the road into the hands of re-
ceiyer and rid themselves of those stock
holders who were antagonizing. them, 1t
is believed here that the Englishmen who
own the bonds will buy in the property
when it is sold and then extend the line to
the West
