There is hard campaign work
ahead. Make the task easier by

Stand up and be counted on the

Whose welfare shall you look
after-that of the Goulds and Van
derbilts, or that Of your wife and
children?
Which do you value highest
the interests of your party and its
politicians, or the interests of your
neighbors?
Shall you continue to pay tribute
to Shylock and Wall street, or shall
you consider the emptiness Of your

Shall we vote with one wing or
the other of the plutocracy, or shall
we vote for Nancy and the chill

weman.s Political superiors.

We women have no voice in max
ing the laws which we are obliged to
obey, NO voice in imposing the taxes
which we are obliged to pay. One
night last week, l had occasion to
cross the city near midnight, with
my husband, to our own railroad
station. Ny husband is a tremen-
dous woman suffragist, | have con-
tinually to hold him back. He is
too hard on men. | am obliged to
counsel him to be little more ten
der, little more careful. should
not dare to say the things he says.
In front of every saloon, as batch
of drunkards came out, he would
say, "Here, wife here are your po-
litical superiors. Here are the men
who make laws for you. These arc
the men to whom you are not equal.
You do not know enough to vote,
and they do" He seems to take
delight in saying these aggravating
things. But it is really SO. That
is the category in which the law has
placed US, and in which we are held
to-day. By the side of the drunk.
ards who reel out of the saloons, by
the side of the gamblers who come
out Of the gambling hells, we women
the best of us-are as nothing,
politically. They are put over our
heads. They do have voice in the
making of the laws by which we
are governed. They do carry their
influence into the courts.

know, under the present admins

ance and morality" We do won
der what the Temperance and NOR
atty" is that our Republican
brothers profess so much Of? 1t is
a sort of contradictory belief and
doctrine, such as our government
deals in when it places upon its
money "In God we trust" and
then turns around and forks in
twenty-five of those dollars stamped
with "In God we trust" from men
who wish to run a business to send
souls to hell. Such a system of
treachery to God and man must be
stopped. 1t is high time that the
people of this land who believe in
honesty and purity were rising up
and shouting, God save America !!
We hear great deal now days
from the Bible in reference to mat
tiers political and otherwise. We
would most respectfully beg our
brothers of the two old parties to
read the 18th chapter, and 18th
verse of Proverbs, which says:
Whose mocketh the poor re-
proacheth his Maker; and he that is
glad at calamities shall not be I'M
punished.

We are going to have a very few

CHAMPION sCHLUSsELBERG.

Paderewski is gone, with 75, 900 splendid and cheering dollars, but this country is not left without piano players who can at tract attention by their playing if not by their hair. For instance there is Professor Ferdinand Schlusselberg of Harlem, who modestly asserts that he is the long dis tance champion player of the world, and he has given 8 remarkable exhibition of his powers in support of that assumption. When he is not making good his title to the championship he plays the piano in dime museum, and this, it is believed, has had much to do with the development of his powers. He announced the other day that he intended to play twelve hours without stopping, and he did it. During this wonderful performance he did not dull the fire of his genius by eating anything, but he drank fifteen glasses of whisky and a confederate bit off the ends of thirteen cigars, lighted them and got them started in turn and then passed them to the absorbed performer. The hall in which he played was crowded, and when at il D. m. he arose victorious from the piano stool he received what the reporters call an "ovation," which was as noisy as any ever bestowed upon Paderewski.
 Of course greatness of all kinds is not without envious detractors, and the rule does not fail in this case. The Brook lyn Times is not content to leave Harlem alone in it's glory, but must assert that Brooklyn can easily take the shine off that glory. It says: In this city there are girls, yes, mere striplings, who play the piano every day but Sunday for fourteen consecutive hours. These petted household darlings, who could not stagger home with pound and half of porterhouse steak from the abattoir around the corner, attack the piano with a supernatural fervor, and the vigor of their phrasing increases as the hours pass. Evidently they are fed at in tervals by their enraptured mothers, for there is no detectable intermission at meal times. Somewhere in the evening, after a seething passage from Wienawski or a fragment of tearing passion from Chopin, the agony is over, but it is hours later be- fore the neighborhood sinners down to anything like calm.
 This is simple assertion. Until one of the Brooklyn girls plays thus in public and under stringent rules the Harlem man must be considered the champion.

FOR BETTER ROADS.


 Some seed which has been sown by the press of the State has fallen on good ground, and it is possible that compre- hensive plan for the improvement of the highways of Connecticut will soon be in operation. The bill dealing with high way improvement which has been pre- pared under the direction of the State board of trade has marked merits, the chief one of which is that the improvement of the roads is made State affair, and is not left to the towns. The bill provides for 8 board of three highway commissioners, who shall each hold office for six years, and one of whom must always be capable and experienced civil engineer. This board shall classify the highways of the State and determine what roads shall be "State highways" It shall notify the municipal authorities having charge of highways to each town in which an improvement is to be made of such proposed improve ment, and, after the plans of such i'm provement have been exhibited to such municipal authorities, and, after hear Ing any ana all OHereu ODl ectlonS ana suggestions, the board may finally deter mine the course, route, width, paving and all other characteristics of the highway to be improved, developed or laid out. All the expense of constructing and develop ing the State highways, except for bridges, changes in layout and land damages, shall be paid by the State upon the approval of the board but such expense shall not ex- ceed one hundred and fifty thousand dol lars (S150, ,000 in any one year. The mu- nicipal authorities shall provide all bridges upon the State highways called for by said plans; and any change in lay out, or widening, of such highway shall be made by, and at the expense of the town in which said highway is located; and when additional land is needed for such inn provement the selectmen of the town shall at once proceed to acquire the same.
 It is to be hoped that this plan will prove basis of action. The advantages of good roads are obvious, and the need of them is also obvious. All interested should heartily unite in doing something toward bringing about the much needed change.

 Somebody started the question the other day about those actresses who did and did not wear wigs on the stage, and the one who had the most beautiful hair. Now, If by beautiful hair you mean that the hair is long, glossy and fine, the palm for this must be given to Mrs. Leslie Carter, who, like Godiva of old, could really wrap her elf in her tresses; when braided they each to her knees, and when loosened they are far beyond them, while in color they are that pure Titan red that dye nev er attains. With this beautiful hair Mrs. Carter has that curiously pale com plexSon that goes with it, and deep, dark, lustrous eyes.
