CARLYLE AND THE BRIDE.
She Was n Giddy Young Thing, and IL
Bored Her Horribly.


Bored Her Horribly.
On our journey toward Sligo an acct
dent occurred so unexpected and char
acteristic that it deserves to be men,
toned. We were inside passengers by
a mail coach, and before it started a
young bride and bridegroom on their
honeymoon joined us. The bride was
charming, and Carlyle courteously
talked to her about sightseeing and
the pleasures of travelling, mounting at
times to higher themes, like a man who
never had a care. He got out of the
coach for a moment at roadside sta
ton, and the bride, whom 1 happened
to have known at Belfast, from whence
she came, Immediately exclaimed:
"Nho is that twaddling old Scotchman
who allows no one to utter word but

amused as l. But philosophers, sup

young brides, for he was as much dis

Scotchman, and probably twaddled a
good deal to no purpose.

While she was executing the Lincoln

BATTLE. FRIDAY. JAN. 22.
TO MEET AT CHICAGO.

Chicago gets the Democratic convention
after prolonged contest in which the
friends of half dozen other ambitious cit
les put forth gallant but unayailing efforts.
Chicago was not at first an active COM
petitor for the honor. 1t had but one vote
on the first ballot, two on the second and
three on the third. This strength gradu-
ally increased and final break landed the
convention at the city of conventions and
big fairs.
This result was probably arrived al in
spirit of compromise. The various con-
testing cities, when they saw that their
own chances were gone. transferred their
strength TO Chicago rather than TO one OF
the active competitors for the honor. The
feeling that Minneapolis is not able to &C
eommodate the Republican convention as
it should be accommodated probably had
some influence in turning the Democrats
10 Chicago as the most central city offer
ing sufficient hotel accommodations.
{ The Democrats have held two national
conventions at Chicago. The first was
most unfortunate one. 1t was that unpatri-
otto gathering which in 1854 declared the
war for the Union failure, and nominated
for the presidency George b. Mcclellan,
the worst beaten candidate ever nominated
by great political party for that high
office. The Democrats did not again meet
in Chicago until 1884. when they nomina-
ted Grover Cleveland

SURE TO BE REELECTED.

The select committee of the United
States Senate have decided by three to
two TO report constitutional amend
ment giving women the suffrage. This
report has been made year after year,
with the result of its overwhelming re-
lection by the Senate, despite the fact
that it is always championed by Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,.
The vast majority Of intelligent and
considerste men have dread of woman
suffrage, dread justified by the propen-
sity of women TO mix and confuse the
business Of legislation with the work
of moral reform; to enact emotions
and moral distractions rather than
practical laws that represent the ruling
forces of public opinion. Every able man
knows that the highest and best states
manship has always been the result of
compromise, but women and feminine
minded men never can be made TO under
stand that, while we do not preach any
compromise between right and wrong to
the individual conscience, in order 10 gov
ern efficiently We have to be content in

good rather than the highest abstract vir-
tue. The natural incapacity of women TO
understand that effective craftsmanship
generally stands for compromise when
public opinion is sharply divided is inerad-
icable.
The woman sufragists are deeply inter
ested in winning not victory in mere
form but victory IN fact. IT, as the an-
nual defeat of woman suffrage by the
various state legislatures shows, the ma
jority of the political governing classes
and influential population of the country
do not want woman suffrage, what posi-
bic hope would there be Of the ratification
of such an amendment il it should happen
10 be enacted by congress? The truth is
woman suffrage is dying cause both in
Europe and America. The vast majority
Of intelligent, considcrate women are
against it, and until this majority of
women ask for the suffrage i: will surely
not be thrust by men upon them at the
appeal OF 8 small minority of inconsider-
ate women and feminine-minded men.
