THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND.
How Erastus Wiman Acquired Wealth, and
Continental E:eputatinn

AAo" w lk3stH Acquired wealth and
a Continental Reputation.
Mr. Erast7!s Wi'nan, whose reported
financial embarrassment created some
thing Of a sensation in New Y York recent
", has long been known as the 'sKing of
Staten Island" He gained this title by
his devotion to the interests Of the pic
turesque little island in New York bay,
where he has made his home for 80 years
or more. He owned q great deal of real
estate there, most Of it unproductiye
and bought because Of his belief in the
future greatness of the island, which he
did his utmost to bring about, establish
ing railways and suburban alnusements,
improving the ferriage facilities and
booming the island SO literally as to
attract much attention to it.
But while Staten Island may have been
Mr.. Wiman's chief hobby he had great
many other irons in the fire, too many
for most men to manage happily. He
was partner in the commercial agency
firm of R. G.. Dun & Co. up to February
last, when he retired, and was q director

Prince Albert of Saxe-C -Coburg -Gotha,

A KANSAS CAMPAIGN.
THE BATTLE FOR UNIVERSAL SuE-
FRAGE HAS BEGUN.

Mrs. Lease alsd Mrs. Johns Take Up the
Twenty-Five Years Ago-How Woman
Suffrage Works In Wyoming.
Twenty-Five years ago or thereabouts
there was a campaign in Kansas which
excited some, amused fAany and inter
ested all. Susan 3. Anthony, Lizzie
Cady Stanton and George Francis Train
'sstumped" the state in favor of woman
suffrage. Theodore Tilton, in The indie
pendent, warmly indorsed the measure.
Henry Ward Beecher spoke few words
in favor OF the amendment. Victoria
Woodruff gave it her countenance, and
as soon as she gained fame enough to be
listened towrote able articles in its favor.
The workman dies, but the work goes
on. At the election, for which the above
mentioned campaign was preparation,
1t appeared that no more than one-ffth
OF the voters of Kansas really and ear
nestly favored giving the ballot to wo1n-
an. Now another campaign is in prog
ress, with the eloquent Mary Ellen Lease
and the shrewd Laura M. Johns as tho
principal local advocates Of woman suf-
frage, and the chances are at least even
that the voters will give it a majority.
In the meantime many things have nap
pened Kansas women first obtained a
vote in school meetings and next in mu-
nicipal elections For various reasons
this latter privilege was greatly ignored
till the spring elections of the present
year Then the women e1erted them
selves all Of a sudden, so to speak, and
revolutionized several municipalities.
Several other things have happened
since the memorable campaign of 1S67-s.
Wyoming established universal suf-
frage early in 1870 and has unfinching-
ly maintained it for 23 years. Utah
adopted it soon after, but it was SO obvi-
ously a Mormon trick" (the Mormon
women voting just as the priesthood
directed that congress finally abolished
it. Washington territory, now q state,
adopted woman suffrage, but finally
abolished it. Other states permit a
qualified suffrage on such minor issues
as schools and liquor licenses.
Kansas has therefore deal of ex-
perience to draw upon, but apparently
the verdicts upon that experience are as
diverse as ever. AS to Utah, no we'll in
formed person expected anything. That

rything just as it was before, only
little more So" Government statistics
show the usual proportion Of saloons.
The papers record the usual number of
murders, with the variations of a Chi
nese massacre at Rawlins Springs and
civil war between cattlenen and s.rus-
tiers"
Nevertheless the legislature from time
to time resolves that wolnan's suffrage
is a marvellous success, and only few
weeks ago it officially declared that
Wyoming was the best commonwealth
in the world and urged all the older
states to go at once and do likewise
Governor Osborne Endorsed this and in
a circular letter declared that there is
not q poorhouse in the state, that the
general standard of conduct is wonder
fully high and that there is little or no
crime except that committed by persons
passing through the state.
Armed, as aforesaid, with all this ex-
perience, the ladies bore down on the
bilingual, multibrancheate and altogeth-
er dolichocephalic Kansas legislature Of
last winter. Mrs. Laura M. Johns, presi-
dent of the Kansas Equal Suffrage asso-
citation, took charge Of the Republicans
and Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of the Pop
ulists and Democrats, each acting with
her own political party, as it were.
Through all those stormy times Mrs.
Johns went and came amid the contend
ing hosts like a heroic sister Of charity
on the battlefield, and when the Repub-
licans were shutup all night with militia
around the building, she enlivened the
proceedings at o'clock in the morning
by speech in favor of woman suffrage
Mrs. Lease worked in a somewhat diff
ferent way with her party. and the net
result was that the gislature-both leg
islatures if you will have it that way
voted to submit the question at the next
general election, and SO in 1894 it will be
decided. Already the contest is on.
Committees, central and local, are at
work, and opponents Of the movement
complain that reign of social terror is
to be inaugurated. It is supposed that
the Republicans gained heavily by the
women's vote at the recent municipal
elections, and SO that party is disarmed.
It is admitted that women bore an i'm
portant part in organizing the Populist
leagues, and so Mrs. Lease counts on that
party.
So much has been said Of Mrs. Lease
that is not strictly true that the main
facts should be recalled. She was born
in Ireland about 40 years ago and inher-
tied more than the average share of Irish
eloquence, but considerably less Of Irish
geniality. With her family she came in
early life to America. and her father and
two brothers lost their lives in the war
for the Union. She married and located
in Kansas, where with her husband and
children she endured at least the aver
age hardshipsof Of pioneering. She studied
law, was admitted to the bar. began the
practice in Wichita and all at once gained
a national reputation as an orator. The
rest is known. Mrs. Johns is also wife
and mother, equally earnest with Mrs.
Lease, but in quite different way.

SO large and so thoroughly policed. But

And making their cause his own,
Then reaping harvest Of grateful love
In the fields where his strength was sown-

To say word of encouraging cheer

That lacks but hearty "Friend, godspeed!"
To bring it home to its goal

To shield his heart from ugly wrong
And conquer for him his right

The Baby.
The little, tottering baby feet,
With laitering steps and slow,
With patterng echoes soft and sweet,
Into my heart they go;
They also go in grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways;
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The inkstand, foul to see;
They pound the mirror with q cane;
They rend the manuscript in twain;
Widespread destruction they ordain
In Wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murmuring voice
That cooes it's little tune,
That makes the listening heart rejoice,
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake in midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling fill,
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like cornets out of tune.

FRIDAY. DEC. ID.

In the House, Mr.. w. G. p. Breckenridge
Ky, D., from the Committee on ApprOpria-
tions, reported the urgent deficiency bill, and
gave notice that he would call it up to. morrow.
Mr.. Pendleton Nv. Va. d. called up the
McGarrahan bill. which came over from yester-
day as unfinished business and moved that the
House go into Committee of the Whole for its
consideration.
Mr.. Sayers TEX. d. Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, demanded q
division on Mr.. Pendleton's motion. and then
made the point of no quorum. Tellers were
appointed, and after consuming three-quarters
of an hour quorum appeared and the motion
was agreed to-119 to II.
After the bill had been read Mr. Pendleton
moved that the committee rise and report it
favorably to the HOuse. To this Mr.. Sayers
objected. The whole House gathered about
Mr.. Penileton and Mr.. Sayers in the center
aisle. and there was much confusion. Finally
Mr. Pendleton said that as the opponents OF the
bill seemed determined TO prevent il from COM
ing to vote he would occupy the remaining
five minutes himself He thereupon delivered
a forcible aud earnest appeal in favor of the
claimant. which was listened TO with interest
and applauded at its conclusion.
Mr.. Wheeler ala, d. moved that the
House go into Committee of the Whole on the
bill to admit Arizona Territory as a State. The
Republicans as on yesterday, refraned from
the motion to go into Committee of the Whole
agreed 10. The bill was read by sections for
amendment, with the result that the bill Was
amended in several particulars Section was
amended so as to provide for one Representa-
tive in the SD and 54th Congresses, instead OF
the saith and 55th
At 800 Mr.. Wheeler moved that the bill be
favorably reported to the House, which was
agreed to-
Mr. Wheeler then moved the preyious aues--
ton, and the amendments were agreed to en-
masse.
On the final passage of the bill Mr. Everett
Mass, d. demanded the yeas and nays;
which resulted in the passage of the bill by
vote Of yeas 135. nays 81.
As soon as the Arizona Statehood bill had
passed the House, Mr.. Wheeler (Ala., d.
moved that the House go into Committee of
the Whole TO consider the bill for the admission
of New Mexico to the Union. This was agreed
TO and the bill read. Mr. Wheeler then moved
that the committee rise and report it to the
House.
Mr.. Bingham PA, r. spoke against the
bill, and Dir. Pierce Colo, p in it's favor.
The latter thought Oklahoma should also be
admitted.
This diverted the discussion and the ques-
ton Of admitting Oklahoma and New Mexico
was temporarily sidetracked.
At 500 the committee rose and the House
adjourned until tomorrow without reaching
any conclusion in regard to the New Mexico
bill.
