PREDICTING BRIGHT DAYS FOE VIRGINIA..

"The Richmond (va) Tines editorially says !:
"The agreement arrived ut between the State Debt
Commission and the representatives Of the foreign
bondhoders virtually settles the vexatous debt prob
lem and removes 1t forever from politics and the
courts where long been tho fruitful source
of humiliation and embarrassment to the Com
monwealth The terms Of the agreement are so
liberal that the Legislature will promptly indorse
them and their action WILL II submitted to the people,
be overwhelmingly ratified. With yirTnias credit re
stored Reputation removed the State will rapidly
forge her way to the front; capital Will seek to
take advantage OF the matchless facilities which she
offers for investment; thrifty and industrious i'm
migrants will establish homes upon her SOIL and there
will be nothing to prevent her resumng her former
proud position.
Credit for this gratifying achievement has been
due to the strenuous labors Of the Virginia COM
missioners and TO the bondholdcrs committee, which
has held on patiently through many dscouraging
episodes That the work Of readjustment has been
so sIlfully effected adds also prestige to the reputa

KORKIYG WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton president OF the

there is no class in the community that needs the
protection Of the ballot than the fiendless work
ing women. Two hundred thousand women in many
cases having others dependent upon them, and who
earn on an average less than 50 "a week, should not
plead in vain she says, for voice in the government
of the state She says that the deplorable social evil
can only be remedied by the enianchisement OF
women and argues that the Constitutional arguments
against the bill grOundiess.
The bill referred to is indorsed by the Working
Women's Society and various workingnens organizar
