WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.

Great Britain. in regard to political
turmoil and partisan strife, is not behind
our own land of personal liberty and po-
litical freedom. 1t is fact of some po-
litical significance that in the recent
vote in the English parliament on the
question of giving women the franchise,
while the bill was rejected by 175 to $50
votes, majority of the Conservative
members present voted in favor Of the
proposition: that is, the Conservative
vote was 76 yeas to So nays, while the
Liberal votes was 50 yeas to 81 nays,
and the Liberal UniOnist vote 13 yeas to
q nays. In other words, as party the
English Conservative organization seems
to be the one which is to Identify itself
upon this political change.
Female suffrage seems bound to be-
come, within short time, a subject of
practical politics in England, and, al
though we are said to be an exceedingly
progressive people in this country, We
are inclined to believe that the English
will afford US for number of years an
opportunity to study the results Of
female suffrage before it is generally
adopted by the states of the American
Union.

Colonel Foraker must have seen Colo
mel Clarkson after the latter came out of
the Arkansaw jungles and before he
posted himself on the presidential situa-
ton. Know'st not, Joseph, that Presi-
dent Harrison has upwards of six hun
bred, out Of the seven hundred and
twenty delegates, instructed or pledged
to him? With the situation as it is such
expressions as those of tie Ohio states
man and the Iowa committeeman would
seem to be inspired by a personal desire
in the matter. Popular sentiment in the
two great parties has practically crystal
lied on their respective candidates, and
the race for '92 will be repetition of the
contest of 'SS all the way through.

Isaac Pusey Not In It.

From the Kansas City star.
Colonel Cockerill has shown many
reasons why Isaac Pusey Gray should
not be nominated for the presidency, but
his disgust is heightened by the intelli-
gence that Gray has a. bald spot. and
that he also has "hirsute fringe skirtiDe
the base of his dome of thought, and
this he combs or lifts over the aforesaid
bald spot, with a view to deceiving the
electors, male and female, of this coun-
try" And Colonel Cockerill adds, with
rising scorn: 1--WE submit. as a bald
proposition, that no man that is guilty
of this deception Is the man 10 preside
over 5000. 600 free and Independent
people-a large percentage of them bald
and not ashamed of it, however much
they may wish it were otherwise

representative Watson, the Alliance
congressman from Georgia and cham
pion in the house of the subtreasury
bill, has finally succeeded in his bull
doing scheme, i. e., of forcing the house
to submit to the report of his pet
measure by the committee to which it
was referred some time ago. Of course
Watson has sense enough to know that
there is not the slightest possibility of its
ever passing, but getting it before the
house will give him and his corterie of
coadjutors opportunity to harangue the
house and pose before admiring(0 con-
stituencies. And the public pays the
bills of expense.

The superintendent of census himself
has word to say in answer TO the ques-
ton: The average annual decrease in
the national debt of the United States
during the decade exceeded 500, 600, 0OC;
the decrease per capita of combined
national, state. and local debt during the
same period was from 500 70 to 1872. 81,
while other statistics show hat the
value of property assessed for taxation
increased meanwhile from $1,000. 600. =
600 to So, 1000, O00, 900, or 80 per cent.
indicating reduction Of public debt,
and an increase Of wealth for the coun-
try unprecedented at least in modern
times" And it all was amaSsed under
this grinding, robbing, impoverishing
tariff Svstent of ours.

SMALL PROFITS IN DARING.

Young Oliver Curtis Perry, who made
such "a daring attempt to rob New
York Central train, and ran off on an
engine, giving his pursuers long chase,
has been sentenced to the penitentiary.
Perrys example will hardly be of any
benefit to himself. He gets forty-nine
years in the penitentiary. and being at
present twenty-six years of age he will
be an old man before the hour of his
release.
But while this young daredevil has
ruined his own life, it ought to be fruit
full of warning to other young members
of the human family with a gulosity
for romantic experiences.
1t does really seem unnecessary for q
man to go wrong in this world to gain
whatever end he my desire. The same
zeal shown by Perry in his adventurous
enterprise, exercised in a legitimate
channel, could not but have landed him
high in his class.
He went fearlessly into finely policed
district, swinging himself from the top
of the fastest going train in the United
States. Covered the messenger of the
express car with revolver. Surprised
in his position by the tram hands he
jumped into a vacant engine and shot
up the track. He was pursued by an
other engine, seeing which, he reversed
his engine and passed it, filling the cab
with bullets and receiving a shower in
return. Again he drove forward pass
ing the other engine again and escaping
into the country where he was some
hours later captured.
Such high tensioned efforts were
worthy of a better cause. But the les
son will do Mr.. Perry no good. How
ever, to prepare himself for another
world, he has ample time to reflect and
repent, as his liberty on this mundane
sphere will be postponed until 1928

SaIisbury's departure upon the tariff
question created a great sensation in
England and he is being criticised very
extensively by the press of the kingdom
His proposition is to change the tariff
policy of the English government so as
to adopt the principle of protection. OF
course this is a radical departure for
sturdy old England, but it is not pro-
posed by the premier simply as an in
novation and to create a sensation, nor
yet as diversion for political effect.
but it is audibly whispered that the
proposed change has become matter of
necessity. The policy OF reciprocity
inaugurated by the present administra-
ton at Washington and now in success
full operation between this and most of
the other countries and nations will I'M
questionabiy work many changes in the
policy of governments extant.

The slump in the grain markets the

The slump in the grain markets the
past two or three days does not indicate
any great amount of faith in Hicks pre-
dlction of summer-long drouth. 1t is
nonsense to talk about failure of crops
on the Goth of May. With any sort of
decent weather from this time there will
be good crops all over the west. The
sensational stories now flying around are
circulated for the benefit of the gamblers
on the Chicago board of trade and the
New York stock exchange. The man
who buys wheat and corn and sells rail
road stocks on the strength of the wild
talk about crop failures in the west will
wish he had reversed his movements be-
fore the close of the year.
