What It Means.

w Aht ~ A&k0&40Ss
That recent gathering of females
at Washington that elucidated so
many matters pertaining to the gen.
eral and particular interests was not
designed to have partisan grooves,
except, perhaps, so far as the ladies
constitute party. There were par
Elephants whose sympathies were
with Republicans, and Mrs. LEASE,
the heavy lady in the Kansas duet
that led the revolt in that state i'm
proved the opportunity afforded her
in an address at one of the evening
meetings to rattle the dry bones. In
her prelude she startled the Republi-
can element by suggesting that the
farmers had been drought to the
brink OF despair by unjust tariff
laws and oppressive taxation"
This was elaborated, and the scope
and intensity of the political rebel
lion dwelt upon, when the lady
lighted upon the disappearing SEN
ator Ingalls, in this way:
"That great landslide, the political
Johnstown food of last November,
was due to the women of the Alliance.
So was the defeat of that man who
for eighteen years represented us in
the United States senate, and who
has never once identified himself with
the legislation demanded by his con-
stituents. We, the women of the
Farmers Alliance, defeated John J.
Ingalls,. [Slight applause mingled
with Kisses. I have been asked:
"Why do you women glory in the de-
feat OF John j. Ingalls,? He is a
brainy, smart man." Yes: he is a
smart man to be the consummate
rascal he has made himself"
The Republicans now were hot, and
they made the scene as tumultuous
as Republican state convention
trying to drown the voice of the
speaker. Miss WILLARD pounded her
gavel and endeavored to establish
order. Mrs. LEASE stood as uncon-
cerned as if merely advising her hus-
band in her own home. When quiet
came she said she had invited In
CALLS to meet her, but he had re.
fused. She narrated that the Kansas
women worked for "MoLL1E and the
babies," and would continue their
fight against plutocracy from the
'banks of Wall street to the gates oil
hell" This was too strong for an
element, and many departed with
noisy exhibitions of temper. The
concluding paragraph was this:
1--WE have come to stay. We are
advocating the principles of truth
and Justice, and are trying to put in
to practical use the principles oil
Christianity. We want the day to
come when we shall have no more
millionaires and no more paupers.
Thank you for your Kisses and ap-
plause."
This brought the meeting to sud-
den conclusion without affording
Mrs. Rev. SHAW a chance for the ben
ediction. JERRY SIMPSON and other
products of the Kansas upheaval
we're present, and happy over the
utterances of the lady. They said
that it was talk like hers that did
the work. The occasion and utter
ances are of interest as interpreters
of the spirit of the movement that
has it's most vigorous life in Kansas
and MISUNDERSTANDING.
