Not q Live Issue.

Elsewhere will be found commune
cation in which an appeal is made to
the present legislature to pass law
giving municipal suffrage to tax paying
women. The writer urges that, as there
are few matters of Importance before
the legislature, it is good time to {" in
vestigate this vital question, and settle
it," The point is we'll taken, if the
question is regarded as of sufficient i'm
portance to call for any action. If mu-
nicipal suffrage for women is live
issue, it would be wise to debate the
matter and settle it, at least for the pres
ent. Governor Fuller sensibly stated
this view in his message, when he said:
Should any considerable number now
desire that the right be extended so as
to include municipal affairs, you will
give the matter such consideration as,
in your judgment, the subject may war;
rant" But, so far as our observation
goes, there is no decided interest in the
subject, either among men or women
1t is true that petitions, signed by
" hundreds" are presented biennially
to the legislature, but it is quite certain
that they do not represent an earnest,
general demand for the proposed legis-
lation. We mean to state the exact
truth in the matter. If, then, there is
no earnest general demand for munich
pal suffrage for women, can the issue
be called live one? And if it is not
live one, is it wise to spend much time
on it and to " settle it," except as it has
been settled repeatedly?
In this view of this matter it is in
tended to represent the situation as it
actually is, without regard to the merits
of the question. 1t has seemed to us
that the advocates of this measure are
in error in assuming that suffrage,
whether of men or women, is natural
"right." How are rights determined,
except by reference to the needs of
society? Persons, classes and sexes
have rights to those offices in which
they will promote the growth of society.
The suffrage is a right only to those
who are likely to use it for the best
interests of society. If this view is
correct, the next question is the practi-
cal one of determining whether the
towns of Vermont would in all prob
ability be governed better if the tax
paying women were given the suffrage.
Is it probable that they would? Is it
not quite true that men are by nature
and the habit and experience of their
lives better fitted, as rule, to direct
governmental operations, as they are to
conduct war or manage industry? 1t is
no disparagemen to women to say that
it is so. There are finer things in the
world than politics, war or industry,
and in them women have " rights /"
which do not belong to men. But in
whatever calls for the exercise of the
reasoning faculties, it is just as certain
that men, as rule, excel, and in these
things they have "rights " which do
not belong to women. Government is
one of these things.

ANDREW CARNEGIE has been ex.
pounding the protective tariff to con-
servative Englishmen through the Lon
don Times, and he makes out case
which must be disheartening in the ex-
treme to his readers over there. He
admits that for country whose indus
tries are fully developed free trade is a
necessity, but he insists that for new
countries a protective tariff is equally
Mt cessary. One statement made in the
letter is of local interest. He says that
Maine granite is now sold in Scotland
for less than Scotch granite.

THE Worlds Columbian Exposition,
Chicago, has issued its programme for
the dedicatory services. These will
consist in large civic parade, to-mor'
row, through the business part of Chi
cogo, in which each state and territory
will be represented by its chief magis-
trate, TO be reviewed by the president
of the United States. On Friday there
is to be an immense parade composed
of troops from the United States army
and the National Guard of the Western
states. This procession will march to
the grounds of the exhibition, where
the exercises of the great occasion will
be held, which have been arranged on
a scale larger than anything that has
ever before been seen in this country.

JUDGE COOLEY of Michigan, the
eminent authority on constitutional
law, has been quoted by the demo-
cratic press as endorsing the candidacy
of Mr.. Cleveland, and this alleged at
titude of the judge has given great
deal of satisfaction to the eX-presi-
dents adherents. Now, however, he
makes himself understood in an inter-
view, which is far from being an en-
dorsement of either democracy or Mr..
Cleveland as a candidate. This is what
he is reported to have said: 81 am too
old and too feeble man to take any
active part in politics, and while l have
great personal regard for the demo-
cratic nominee, cannot say that l am
ready to endorse all the principles Of
the platform for which he stands by
casting my vote for him. More than
this l do not think it necessary for me
to say" 1t would be almost incredi-
BILE that man who has studied the his
tory and constitution of the United
States as much as Judge Cooley has
could vote the democratic ticket this
year. -

THE charge of Chief Justice Paxson
to the grand jury of Pittsburg, in the
Homestead treason case, deserves to
become classic. Such wholesome,
old-fashioned talk is not heard any too
frequently in these days. 1--WE have
reached the point in the history of the
state" said he, "where there are but
two roads for us to pursue; the one
leads to order and good government,
the other leads to anarchy. The one
great question which concerns the
people of this country is the enforce
ment of the law and the preservation
of order" People are beginning to
take this view of it. There is less pub
lie sympathy with strikers who resort
to violence than there was year ago.

Mr.. BLAINE's visit to Whitelaw
Reid at Ophir Farm is significant.
There is no doubt that he is as much
interested in republican success as
ever. Certainly there is nothing in
the democratic party that can appeal
in the slightest degree to him. The
political principles for which he has
worked throughout his life are live
issues to-day, and man who has been
in the center of the political storm for
thirty years cannot altogether lose his
interest in political questions, even if
he would Mr.. Blaine has been in
poor health, and il is probable that
nothing but the long rest of this sum-
mer has saved him from collapse. He

Az THE TABERNACLE.

Elder Roaming's address last night al
the corner of Lawrence and Lincoln streets
was upon the blesseds included in the
nrst ten verses of the fifth chapter OF
Matthew. In his analysis, Christ recog.
niZes none in his kingdom but the poor in
spirit. One that was meek, was not the
person to quarrel with his neighbor nor
try to stir up strife where he could not
have his own way. The person who is
meek and right with God is at peace with
his fellowmen.
The comparison was nicely drawn be-
tween bodily hunger and thirst, and that
hunger and thirst after rightenous, and
the fact of the promise being filed, was
brought prominently out.
The blessed of they that are prosecuted
for righteousness sake, for theirs are the
kingdom of Heaven, he said, was placed
last for the reason that if the christian
lived the others, he certainly would re-
ceive persecution. The fifth, sixth and
seventh chapters was the constitution of
the Bible. Services will be held in the
tent tonight and on Sunday at IL a. M,
