dissipation. She Is the cashier and tho

the family to make both ends meet.
Marriage, also. Is honorable for women.
1t is their proper and natural state. II they

suffrage speakers at Skunimunk reward the
self.supporting spinster with the vote and
disfrancliso tho married woman whose con-
tribution to the maintenance OF the family
Is indirect. The prize goes to the unwedded
only, and the welded Is treated as II she
were not deserving OF honor and confidence.
While woman is single and earning her
own living she is invested with the full
privileges Of citizenship, but as soon as she
is married they are taken away from her. as
II she !,,I committed crime like to that
which deprives man OF the right to vote.
ofcourse, the theory OF the advocates Of the
measure is that married women are repre-
sented In the suffrage by their husbands;
but IL that be granted, nil women are 30
represented by men, by husbands, fathers,
brothers, and men generally. 1t gives
up the whole woman suffrage case by
acknowledging that men In voting for them
selves vote for women also; and, In fact, In
making the laws they always guard the
rights OF women rs jcalously as they protect
their own. So far as the legal rights OF
women AFRO concerned. they would not be
better cared for under woman suffrage than
they arc now secured, whether the qualified
women voters be spinsters, married, or
widowed. Tho unmarried have no more
need OF the suffrage for self-protection than
the married; and, On the whole, they are far
less fitted for It's exercise. to their own and
the general benefit. Women who have borne
and reared families and had charge Of
the management OF households are OF better
judgment, and, in the maiu, they are superior
in ability and always Of more rounded de-
velopment Of mind and character.
II, therefore, any discrimination between
them should be made In tho matter Of the
suffrage, 1t should be in favor OF the mar
ried and not the unmarried. But there can
be no discrimination OF the kind. II any
women are to vote, all women must vote.
They must be put on an entire equality
with men at the ballot box.
The propositions to be submitted to the
Skunimunk meeting are immoral, illogical,
and unjust. They should DO voted down
by the people Of Orange county with an
emphasis which will silence their mischiev-
Gus authors and settle their fate finally.

Strangely enough, these measures are to

A Remarkable Confession.

AS Mugwumps. the New York Erening
Post and the NeD York Times doubtless
would be delighted II Mr. PORTER could
establish the accuracy Of his census rating
OF this town as the most extensively gov
erned large city in the United States. A
veritication of tho statements OF Census
Bulletin No. s2 would afford some ground
for the Posts denunciation OF what it
habitually calls semi-criminal Tammnny,"
and lend some color OF truth to the Tlmes's
customary representation that under Dem
ocratic rule the administration OF our mu-
nlcipal affairs is scandal OF extravaganza
and dishonesty
The case against PORTER, however. Is 80
convincing, aud the showing made by
Comptroller MYERS is 80 creditatle. that
the Times Is led quite unconsciously to
register this tribute to the present trustees
Of New iork's municipal interests:
"BuIletin No. s? puts tho Administrative expenses OF
the city At $50 $50 or S!as1 per capita while tho
Comptroller makes them $!o.lO7. 7oOG6 or So 10 per
capita BY what improper Inclusion transfer Of
figures or alton OF tsmI this colossal bunder

puzzle citizens OF New York to understand how the
ordinary expenses OF tho city Government could 10
Supposed to exceed so largely Its current income while
ordinary expenses for park lands and the aQue-
duct had been largely decreased"
The improper inclusion or transfer OF fig
ures. and the Intentional misclassltlcation
OF items which enabled PORTER to fabricate
his monstrous libel on New York. have very
plainly appeared, and they puzzle nobody
outside OF the Times Office; but that Is OF no
consequence. The main thing is tho New
nrI. ou, Al,
Is on honestly and economically governed
city, and its confession. extraordinary from
such source, that under the present man
agement the condition OF our financial affairs
has been largely improved.
This cuts the heurt right out OF much Of
the Mugwump rhetoric in which the Times
and the Evening Post indulge whenever
municipal election comes around.
