Freedom for Married Women.

TECCuOu AoT uA0TT1CO OuChs
Gov. Flower. of New York state, has
just signed the bill which permits mar
ried women to make contracts in their
own names as freely as men may do.
The last trace of the prejudices against
the free action of women in matters
Of their own property rights thus disap-
pears from the New York statute book;
and since New York has led the way
in reforms of this nature, it is likely
that other states where women lie un-
der disabilities, the results of ancient
barbarism, will speedily follow the &C
ton of the Empire state lawmakers in
this excellent measure of reform. As
every one knows, the wife was-nay, in
many countries, and even in many
states Of our own enlightened union,
still is-regarded as the chattel and
property Of the husband. The law al
ways follows at the tag-end of civiliza-
ton in matters of this sort; but our
generation has witnessed the destruc-
ton of many unworthy old boundaries.
New York has not always been first in
reforms of this nature; but her example,
when she does awake to q wrong, al
ways works good.

indian Lands.

The story by telegraph thsf Pren
dent Harrison had allowed the measure
for the opening of the great Colville
Indian reservation in Washington to
become law without his signature
attracted much attention in San Fran
cisco. This is the greatest reservation
that has been thrown open on the Pa
cific coast for many years. II COM
prises l,500. 900 acres, rich in agricul-
tual, mineral, grazing and timber re-
sources Thousands of people have
been looking forward to its opening
with great interest A mere handful
Of Indians, under the leadership Of
Chief Moses and Chief Joseph, not to
exceed 600 in all have been holding this
from settlement for many years. This
Is not all of the Colville reservation.
There are in the whole of it 1850, 900
acres, so that the amount to be thrown
open is only little more than halt
The 600 Indians have been holding not
only the 1,5O0, 600 acres, but all the rest
of it for these years The reservation
Is bounded on the north by British
Columbia THAT is the mainland), on
the east and south by the Columbia
river and on the west by the Okanogan.
The part to be thrown open stretches
for thirty-eight miles south of the
boundary. Much of it is rolling
plateau and nearly fat prairie land.
It is covered with luxuriant grass and
well watered. A few industrious
Indians have been raising wheat. oats,
barley and vegetables on little farms
there. enough to demonstrate the rich
ness of the land, but in all the eighteen
reservations of the state of Washing
ton, comprising 7,l26.593 acres. per
haps not $4,000 acres are farmed by
them. The Examiner thinks it is
doubtful if there are 10000 in cultiva-
ton.

ONE of the difficult problems that
architects have to consider in erecting
very high buildings is said to be wind
bracing. The variation Of practice is
wide, showing that ideas differ in re-
gard to details and the amount and OPP
Grafton of the forces to be resisted. In
designing metal structures engineers
agree substantially, the greatest differ
ences being in regard to the use of cast
iron and the relative merits of hollow
tile walls and of iron or steel rods as
vertical bracing. 1t Is said that some
architects depend wholly on ordinary
partitions for lateral stability, no mat
ter how much they may be weakened
by openings. 1t is all right to have the
exterior walls mere exterior curtain
to shield the interior metal frame, but
the frame should be braced efficiently
Vibrations due to cars, trucks and dyna-
mos have to be considered, also.

Democratic treatment of the
colored people is one of the
things hard to understand in
elections. They abuse them, ar
rest them, intimidate them, call
them dishonest, raise the cry Of
"mixed schools, . social equal
ity," .snegro colonization" pay
to get up colored schemes, then
coax and lie to them, drug them
with rotten whiskey, all to get
their uotes. Human degradation,
Second slavery! The devils work.
Christianity and education will
opon the eyes and hearts o. the
colored people in time and make
such degrading practices impos-
sible. In Ohio some years ago
the Democrats raised the same
cry of "mixed schools and they
introduced a bill in the Legisla-
tire to that effect, hoping the
Republicans would defeat it, SC
the Democrats could make polit-
ical capital out of it. But the
Republicans left it go and it is
law to-day there and works well.
Some day white voters of all
parties will put their foot on
false race cries and issues.

ELECTION NEWS !

-------------
Defeat cannot dim the splen-
did record of President Harrison
There will be 207 Democrats, 1870
Republicans and s third party
men in the next House, with
eleven additions yet to be made
to complete the quota of $50
members. There were in the
last House 235 Democrats, SO Re-
publicans and 0 independents, or
332 members in all. The result
is relative gain for the Repub-
licans, as compared with the
tremendous landslide of two
years ago; so that the Republi-
cans will need more than two
aisles in the national legislative
chamber for their members. The
Democrats have lost a number of
members, as compared with the
present House. The strength of
the independents will be pretty
nearly the same in the next
House as in this, but they will
miss the presence of their two
most aggressive representatives,
Tom Watson, of Georgia. and
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who
were both showed under. " Hon
est John Davis" of Kansas, will
be the leading third party man
In the next House. AS at present
constituted, the Senate stands 7
Republicans, 80 Democrats and 2
Farmers Alliance. AS the two
Alliance men, Messrs. Pfeffer and
Kyle, have voted with opposite
parties, their votes are a stand
off. OF the 90 Senators whose
terms expire with this Congress,
and whose successors have eth
er been already elected, or will
be chosen by legislatures elected
Tuesday, IS are Republicans and
II are Democrats. OF the Demo-
Gratis all have been either already
reelected, or the legislatures as
elected Tuesday are Democratic,
50 that the party strength in the
Senate is not diminished. Only
three were ever in doubt-Faulk-
ner of West Virginia, Gray of
Delaware, and Turpie of Indiana.
These are safe. Not so with the
Republicans. Of the Is whose
terms expire many have been re-
elected, or Tuesdays legislatures
make them safe, but the slender
majority of 8 will be even furth-
er diminished.
The latest returns show that
Cleveland will have 26S votes in
the Electoral College, 40 more
than the number required to
elect him. Nebraska, which late
Tuesday night was supposed to
have gone for Weaver, now ap-
pears to be in doubt. Many
counties have not been heard
from, and the Republicans claim
a small plurality. Kansas is un-
certain, though still claimed by
the Republicans. Wisconsin and
Indiana are both Democratic by
from 5000 to 5000 each. The
Republicans have elected their
state ticket in Michigan by good
majorities. The Democrats are
now claiming Ohio. Latereturns
indicate that the state is close.
but the Republicans are still con
fident that it is safe for Harrison.
