the house work while they pull.
cd the wires, and ct the regular NOM
mating caucus filed the house with
voters and strikers of both sexes. II
was plain to be seen that the ladies
had handsome majority In the house
and would undoubtedly have nomi-
mated their full ticket had 1t not been
for the fine work Of the nobler sex.
To say that the ballot boxes were
stuffed would be putting 1t too mild ;
they were crammed, and after some
750 votes had been counted with only
200 people in the halD 1t was very ev-
ident that the female ticket was snow
ed under.
Never since that day has there been
any serious attempt by the ladies to
get control Of the city government,
and at the caucus Saturday nighI
there was not a single lady voter in
the room.
The fact Is, the ladies, as a rule, do
not care to vote. They feel that they
are represented by their husbands aud
they know thar their affairs will 60
better in the hands of responsible aud
competent men than In their own.
The little experience they had in 1883
taught them that they could agree on
nothing except that each one wanted
to be chairman aud the rest "bolt the
ticket"
The freedom shrickers who make
the most noise while their husbands
are ut home warming the nursing bot
ties, are too erratic in their ideas and
disposition to make good officers of The
law, or frame laws to govern the bal
ance of mankind. Many of them are
like Elizabeth Stuart Phclps-too
good for this world. She is SO modest
she would prefer "cloaked falsehoodV
to the "naked truth" and If she had
the power would prohibit water from
running on Sunday.
Female suffrage made general may
work better in the country than II has
in the city, but municipal female SUI
frage, as tried and proven in Kansas,
is an utter, fiat, dismal failure.

PREMIUMS TO SUBSCRIBERS.


Western newspapers are all falling
into the pernicious habit Of offer
ing premiums for subscriptions, and
have carried the craze TO such an ex-
tent that the newspapers are about as
worthless as the prizes. The Topeka
Capital offers ticket to the worlds
fair, but who would not rather forego
the pleasure of q trip to The worlds
fair than read the Capital for one
year? Other papers are Offering snide
jewelry, Waterbury watches, worth.
less sewing machines, and all sorts of
valueless articles in order 10 increase
their subscription lists, but the read
ing public should bear in mind that
no good and reliable paper can afford
to give something for nothing, and
that every dollar spent on prizes de-
tracts just 90 much from the value Of
the paper.
The Baxter Springs NEWS offers no
premiums and makes no deductions
from the regular prices. We promise
you no tin horns or other trumpery as
an inducement to take the paper, but
prefer putting the money, time and la
Dor on the paper itself, which you all
know lie the only reliable and trust
worthy sheet in the county. 1t Is in-
dependent in politics and every
thing else; it is devoted to the inter-
ests of the city, county and state; 1t is
not afraid 10 tackle and unmask all
frauds, humbugs and bugaboos, and is
ever found on the side Of right, justice
aud common sense. Such a paper
does not need to offer premiums. Our
subscription list is already satisfac-
tory, but we would like TO increase 1t
in an honorable way, promising our
subscribers that we will hot Invest
their money in jimcracks Ito give
away, but eudeavor to make the paper
more valuable to them than ever
before.
We would like to have the name of
every citizen IN this section on our list,
but we shall offer no prizes. We
guarantee to give You the worth Of
your money IN moral and instructive
reading matter and If you wish TO do
