of general debility. Mr.. Ward had
been in failing health for several
years, and his death was not unex-
pected. Mr.. Ward was the son Of
tne late Thomas V. Ward, and his
wife, Mary McLane, who was a
daughter of DR., McLane, of Whining
ton, and a niece of Hon. Louis
McLane, once Minister to England,
u. S. Secretary of Treasury and
Secretary of State. Ex-Governor
McLane was her first cousin. De-
ceased was about forty years of age.
The Ward family was one of the
Grst district aristocracy of 35 years
ago and earlier. What changes the
third of century has wrought in the
social status of that section of the
county. With the decline and fall
of slavery went down the influential
families of that part of the county.

be of infinite service, eliminated from
the virus of slavery, in the present
revolutionary movement. But the
overthrow of slavery carried with it

present contest against the combined

John V. Abrahams young lawyer
residing in North East has been

Geo. A. Blake. Mr.. Abrahams is in
the employ of tue Mccullough Iron

of Woodlawn.
w. j. Falls also of North East,
son of John w. Falls, Esq. was
selected to fill the vacancy of sur
veyor, declined by Mr.. Nichols.
On Tuesday night of last week some
person entered the store OF John s.
Settle, at Leeds, and carried off small
lot of clothing and the money drawer;
the latter contained only few pennies
and was afterwards found a short dis
tance away, while the clothing was
discovered secreted in straw stack
near Childs Station. Entrance to the
store was made through the cellar. The
scamp thief left lamp burning with
out globe on it. and it isa wonder that
the store was not thereby set on fire.
On the same night the railroad sta
ton at Childs was forcibly entered and
ransacked, but nothing of value in the
eyes of the burglar was found.
1t is believed that the burglar belongs
in the neighborhood and garment
left behind points to his identity.

WOMEN DEMONSTRATES.

The biennial rejection by the Legisla-
ture Of Illinois OF a bill TO so amend the
Constitution that women could vote was
marked by the reading of a petition asking
for the rejection of the bin signed by
Women Remonstrants Of the State of Hi
Dois." The petition shows that the women
remOnstran;s not only oppose female SUI
frage, but the employment of women in
bat have been regarded as masculine pur-
suits. They declare that the tendency of
young women to "tuIn their backs upon the
home and its pursuits and TO become wage
earners in public fields Of labor in order
that they may become independent of mar
riage" is fraught with moral and physical
peril. They do not think that women
should enter upon a competition with men
in a field of labor in which they are sure to
be beaten. 1t is assumed that in what has
been regarded as wOman's sphere women
are secure in an ascendancy, which would
be impaired by unsuccessful efforts TO CON-
pete with men in their chosen field of labor.
The women TemonStTants say in effect that
the Introduction Of female labor into male
occupations tends to lower the earning ca
pacity Of men, and to that extent TO dmin-
ish the ability of men 10 support wives and
female relatives. without saying so IN 50
many words, these women rtmonstrants
seem to think that men of their own will
will do more for women than women can
force them TO do. This argument is sup
ported by reference tn measures which
have been adopted by the Illinois Jegisla-
ture for the improvement Of the condition
of women. These measures. it is eOntenGed,
which were inspired by mems watchful-
ness over the interests Of women, are better
adapted to promote wOmen'S welfare than
any they cuulc have devised. The woman
suffrage women will answer that the views
of the remnnsrants are such as would nat
uralIy be held by women who are taken
care Of by male relatives. Such, it will be
urged, have received more than a fair share
of the benefit of mems watchfulness over
the welfare Of women. The Issue is one
that women must settle among themselves.
The opposition to woman suffrage or to
woman as a worker does not come from
men. A large majority of men have made
up their minds that women may vote when
a ajority Of them want TO.

TIE suRPLUs GONE.

It appears that the Administration has
distributed the greater part of the surplus
which Nh Cleveland regarded with such
terror when he sent his famous free-trade
mesa to Congress. a great deal Of this
surplus has been used in payment of public
debts, a considerable SIM in payment Of PEN
sionS, smaller amount in building ships
and casting big guns, several millions in re-
turning to States moneys advanced during
the war, with minor expenditures for vari-
Gus matters, some Of which might have been
postponed. For example, there was no alb
solute need that the Government should at
the last session appropriate money to meet
claims which had been "stood off by the
last fifteen administrations But as there
was surplus in the Treasury it was dis
Fri .huted where it was thought it would do
tie most good. The Democrats are not so
well pleased at the distribution of the sur
plus as they expected they would be. Dur
ing the latter part OF Cleyeland's admins
tration the surplus was regarded with con-
siderable apprehension. The Republicans
had right, therefore, to expect Democratic
commentator Of policy which distributed
the SURPLUS with Deatness and dispatch and
without injury TO the country. and are some

nails take in commenting upon the success
