A RepubIicnn Meeting Mt Livingston Got
ten Up with the Corruption Fund
After Kailr0ad Votes.

LIVINGSTON, Oct. 25-[Special. &c. 3.
Hartman, the republican candidate for con-
gress, was billed TO speak at Hefferlin's
opera house tonight. Jack Carter's Doodle.
which came down sunday from Helena
with Jack. was OPENED and there was a
torch light p: ocession and music by the
band. The meeting WAS opened by Angus
Brown, master mechanic of the Northern
Pacific shops, who consumed an hour in in
Producing the speaker of tho evening.
Brown explained that the republican party,
with the assistance OF the Almighty, had
been the laboring nuns beacon light, and
then unfortunately went further and said
| that in his own experience the further west
he came the higher he found wages. He
roundly abused Messrs. Clark. Collins and
other leaders of Montana democracy, dis
| played his ignorance on every question that
bs approached. made it plainly apparent
that his mission at the meeting was to
catch the shop votes for the Northern Pa
cifc. Dismay at the speakers hoad-long
b!unders appeared on the countenances Of
the republicans IN charge of the meeting as
they saw their pet scheme acting the boom
erang.
The peoples party was made the special
object also of MIR. Browns wrath for she
stated reason that 1t favors government
control of railroads. After breaking all
the articles within reach Brown emerged
from the china shop and made way for
other speakers.
That the republicans propose to buy mp
Park county if possible has become appar-
ent within the past twenty-four hours. To-
nights demonstration 10 estimated TO have
cost no less than seven or eight hundred
dollars, and it is said that the Doodle agents
have lost the bung to Jack Carter's barrel.
Parties in from the country tonight report
the lavish use of money among the ranch
men by Carter's agents. The democrats are
alert and have announced their intention to
see fair vote and fair count. Hartman
spoke at length on tariff and silver, de-
nounced Cleveland, but paid Judge Dixon
handsome compliment on his mineral
land bill.

enfield presided at the meeting and made q
striking opening speech. Day spoke first.
He held the attention of his listeners for
half an hour, showing up the fallaciss of tho
republican system Of robbery known as pro-
lection. He made good impression and is
bound to get many votes here. Mcconnell
made one of his characteristic speeches,
full of good, sound logic, intersperssd with
sallies of wit. The meeting was great
success.

At one Of the handsomest of the even
ing entertainments given in the begin
ming of the season the hostess invited,
among ,her other guests,:a lady whose
standing in society, though acquired
only within a few years past, is none the
less exalted or firmly established. For
some occult reason after extending the
invitation the hostess was so frigid in
her greeting that the fact was generally
noted and commented upon by the:con-
pany. 81
Shortly afterward the guest SO singled

saffrage in tho United States.

Equal suffrage is in force or has been
adopted in some form in twenty-nine
different states and territories, namely,
Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Min
nesota, Montana, Missouri, Nebraska.
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Vermont, Washington. Wiscon-
sin, Wyoming. The different forms Of
the exercise of suffrage have been al
most as various as the states named
For instance, in Pennsylvania voting
has been confined to local improve
ments. In New York woman suffrage
has been limited to school elections.
Kansas has prescribed that women
shall have equal privileges with men in
municipal elections. In Wyoming there
has been no distinction in sex in the
electoral franchise since 1870, and of all
the states she has fewer criminal and
insane people in proportion to total
population. Utah, the home of Nor
monism. granted to women the ballot
until the Edmunds law was enacted in
1870. The Gentiles are now convinced
that women should vote, and it is prob
able that when that territory is finally
admitted it will be with a provision for
equal suffrage.
Further examples might be cited, but
when the precept is plain and generally
granted that the woman is the equal Of
man in every province Of government
that regards the welfare Of humanity,
they are useless. 1t is foolish to contend
that woman is not the equal Of man in
every work that seeks the advancement
of the young, or that men are better en-
titled to direct the affairs of municipal
and educational reform. m.-Woman's Re

4 New Decorative Art.

Topography is = new art for deco
rating wood panels and like surfaces. 1t
is the invention.of a down east genius
and is described as follows: The wood
is stamped below the surface by linden
tation with hammer and small steel in
struments, cutting the wood fiber and
bringing out the picture in true per-
spective. The effect produced is thatof
a painting or raised work, but the design,
being chased in wood below the surface,
is as beautiful and durable as the wood
itself. This renders it all the more val
liable for exterior decoration, as the only
care is the keeping the wood vanished.
The kind Of wood adapted to the kopto-
graphic method is cherry or any close
grained wood. New Orleans Picayune.
