A FKmININE-mIspED MAN.

The dead poet, Lowell, in his greatness
and his weakness was not an effeminate
but feminine-minded man. This is only
true of him as it is true of all men in
whom the poetic temperament predomi-
mates. A man may have fine and beauti-
full brain and yet be accurately described
as feminine minded. Such men were the
poets Shelley and Browning, Wendell
Phillips, John Ruskin, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, Emerson, the Spanish orator
Castelar,. men of rare and powerful genius,
but no more fit to govern agreat state than
a delicate, sparkling, sensitive woman is
fit to be secretary of state or general of
the army. Why? Because these men
start with the absurd axiom that whatever
is right is at all times expedient. In gov
eminent Governor Andrew said that while
it was never expedient to do wrong, never
theless a half loaf for righteousnes IS was
better than no bread and, therefore. in
everyday life timely compromise often
stood for the highest craftsmanship.
The masculine type of mind is repre-
tented by men of outdoor culture in distinc-
tion from indoor life and culture, men like
Mirabeau, Washington, Franklin, HamiI-
ton, Webster, Clay, Burke, Fox, Peel, Pitt,
Palmerston, Disraeli. Gladstone. Seward,
Cavour. Bismarck. Chase and Lincoln
Lincoln, while hating slavery As cordially
rs Phillips, refused to do the ris bt thing at
the wrong time, and there are few men to-
day who would claim that the feminine
minded, but not effeminate genius, Phil
lips, would have proved anywhere near as
good pilot in the stormy red sea of war
as the masculine-minded Lincoln.
The most gifted man, who from choice or
circumstances leads a life ofindoor culture
is likely to fail to govern well; for he is
like gifted woman in politics. who unless
she consents at an early age to become de-
sexed and 'masculinized, like Elizabeth,
and Catharine of Russia, is foredoomsd
to failure. These men whom we have
named as essentially of indoor life and
culture had great genius, were eloquent
critics and agitators; men of destructive,
disorganizing as opposed to constructive,
organizing powers. Does anybody believe
that Shelley or John Ruskin could ever
have governed well in politics; that Haw-
thorne could, with all his genius for litera-
ture, have wisely and vigorously dis
charged the large executive and admins
trative responsibility of the post of secre-
tary of state with the prudence and sagac-
ity of either Blaine or Salisbury, or that
Whittier or Emerson would have made
any less wretched figure in politics than
Lowell did as "mugwump" soothsayer
and prophet2 The world of affairs is con-
Quoted in all ITS executive life by men of
outdoor worldly life and culture, and
not by those men of feminine minds, who
are the gifted children of clustered life
and indoor culture.

The freboat was put TO practical test
in actual service on Friday evening. and
Captain McAllep points out several par
ticulars in which it fails to meet the
proper requirements. The lack of swivel
nozzles prevents it from fighting fire at
close quarters, and the steering gear is of
such nature that quick landings are i'm
possible. The present steering gear was
intended to be temporary, but bids fair to
become permanent through neglect to pro-
vide better. 1t is also reported that the
Snoqualmie is allowed to be left with her
bows on the bottom by ebb tide in such .
position that she could not respond to an
alarm until foated by the returning tide.

Preparations are being made for the cell
ebration of labor day and there is promise
of very interesting occasion. The annual
celebration of this day is coming to be one
of the established customs of the country:
and very good custom it is, since besides
affording day of pleasure and recreation
to deserving body of people, it is calcu-
lated to inspire feeling of pride in the
calling of the laborer and to promote uni
versal respect for labor. In country like
this there is no likelihood of labor falling
into discredit, but it is impossible to do too
much in the way of respectful recognition
of its Importance and dignity.

Gates the masculine vote, is silent, or Is an
emotional, sentimental suffrage, that would
vote for sentimental legislation, because of
that superior, not to say superlative, emo
tional impressibility OF women which at
times makes her ''heart at high floods
swamp her BRAIN" and persuades her to
flock with one-eyed reformers and cock
eyed cranks in politics.
This is the present situation to men who
wish well to women. They do not believe
that suffrage Is a natural right, but
privilege Nobody who is not an anarch-
ist in theory, if not in practice, ever pre-
tended that suffrage was q natural right;
but from the anarchist point of view that
suffrage is a natural right, you can just
as easily argue, as anarchists do, that
property is robbery" A man whose
brain always has flock of bats in 1t can
seriously argue that suffrage is natural
right rather than privilege, but no gov
eminent outside of Utopia can ever dis
cuss the gift of the suffrage upon any
other ground than that of expediency.
Once convince the nation that it was expe-
dent, was best for the state that woman
should be clothed with the suffrage,
whether they wanted it or not, ana tney
would get it tomorrow, but the nation Is
not yet convinced that either on the plea
of natural right or expediency that suffrage
should be thrust upon an unwilling sex.
When the wives, the mothers, the sisters,
the daughters who rule, advise, are reVer-
enced and respected at home, conciuoe
that they owe it to their own solemn ooh-
cation of selfdevelopment ana hlghest
usefulness to solemnly ask the ballot OF
their brothers, husbands, fathers, lovers
and male friends generally, they Will
get the ballot and not before. Ii
woman suffrage ever presents itself as
a military necessity OF politics 1t
may be granted even as 1t was
thrust upon the negro; or if the great in
telligent mass of women rise up and ask
for it it will be granted. but it will be ut
terly useless for few feminine-minded
folk of both sexes to ask for the suffrage
on the anarchists plea of natural right, or
the absurd pretense that because some
women are taxed all women have right
to vote
Women are not likely to ask for the suff-
rage with any emphatic voice, but they
may get it possibly some day when des-
parate party wants their political aid, as
Lord Salisbury does in England, and then
it may be recklessly forced upon them
without consultation. just as suffrage was
selfshly and imprudently forced upon the
negro.

Europe IS buying wheat this month as
September the price jumped in a week to
a figure which made the average export
for the fiscal year worth $l.2i a bushel
This was third larger than the price in
the crop year just closed, and it raised the
total value of an export of 5000, go
bushels in 1880 to S226, 900. 900. The wheat
surplus this year is large enough to repeat
the golden months of 1879. The New

warns the farmers that our sur
plus wheat is likely to be 2O0, 900 600 BUSH

selves by fixing price Europe will not
pay. If we do this we shall stop the free
movement of wheat and bring our export
able surplus down kpon our home market,
with disastrous effects to ourselves The
effect of fixing an exorbitant price upon
our wheat will reduce and divert eonsump-
ton.
The Commercial Bulletin points out that
If the 100000 of people of Western
Europe affected by the scarcity of grain
should reduce their consumption of wheat
by only two bushels per capita, they
would have not only enough from
their own crops to so around, but
have considerable 10 carry over to next

are more prone to suicide than women. The

IL is far higher on this coast than at the South,
where the average man is unambitious and
