LIVELY, For a Dying Issue.


The death of Lucy Stone reminds the
New York Times that 1.-The generation of
woman suffragists who made such a stir
in the world twenty or thirty years ago
has passed off the stage" and leads it to
remark that the cause which they rep
resented has long shown symptoms of
dying out.
mo successors have appeared of that
remarkable coterie of women, which in
cluded Lucy kStone, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Julia Ward
Howe, Abby Kelly Foster, Mary A. Liver
more, and number of lesser lights, who
were wont to make ringing speeches and
write ardent essays on the wrongs of
women and the necessity of the suffrage
as the only means of righting them"
Most of the women named are still
alive, therefore there is yet no occasion
to be anxious about their successors.
may be of a little different type from the
Stones, StantOns, and others; indeed,
they are more than apt to be of the type
of Mary Ellen Lease and Mrs Potter, of
Kansas. But womans suffrage will not
lack for women advocates
AS for the movement dying out, the
facts appear to be the other way. In
some of the western states women pos
sess nearly if not quite as many civil
rights as men, and next year Kansas will
most likely, extend full political priv
leges to them. In many of the eastern
states notably in Massachusetts, the
home of most of the older women
reformers-women may vote on questions
involving the public schools.
So far from woman suffrage being a
dead issue, or a dying issue, the cause is
in better condition than ever before 1t
is not advocated now by only few
strong-minded women, who attracted at
tention because of the newness of their
cause, and because they agitated the
slavery question as well as woman's
rights at time when the anti-slavery
craze was at its hight. At present
woman suffrage is supported and advo-
Gated by both men and women, and their
number is legion.

Up in the northwest some people are
talking of new state, to be made by
chopping off parts of Minnesota and Wis
consin, calling it Superior and making Du-
luth the capital The projected state in
cludes within its boundaries the country
from the Brule to the st. Croix rivers, ex-
tends to the northern boundary of Wis
consin, west of the Brule, and takes in all
the northern portion of Minnesota, so as
to embrace the iron ranges in the latter
state. The scheme is not new, and prob
ably will end where it began-in talk.

The creoles of Louisiana have con-
cluded that their race shall be no longer
libeled by questionable theatrical troupes
The other day a female minstrel company,
composed Of quadroons calling them
selves creoles, invaded southwest Louis
lana. But they were not allowed to play.
At New Iberia the real creoles tore down
their posters and made it so not for the
minstrels that they were forced to leave
town AT Lafayette the mayor told the
troupe not to leave the cars, and a mob
of creoles stood ready with torches to
burn the cars if the mayors orders should
be disobeyed. The creoles of Louisiana
are white people, of French or Spanish
descent. The word creole is never ap-
piled in Louisiana to person of mixed
blood, and its applications to quadroons
and other colored persons always arouses
their anger

Ex-Labor Commissioner Peck, of New
York, whose return to Albany for the
purpose of standing trial for classifying
and destroying the state statistics of labor
last year was noted in the MORNING
News day or two ago, is in more trou-
BILE. He was arrested and locked up Sat.
urday charged with crime of a loath-
some and disgusting character. The evil
dence against Peck is so strong that bail
has been refused him, 1t is remarkable
how rapidly he went to the bad after
his act of treason toward the Democratic
party.

1t seems that an epidemic of railway
catastrophes is sweeping over the coun-
try. For two weeks or more the newspa-
pers have chronicled nearly every day
one or more fatal wrecks. Following
close upon the horror at jackson, Mich.
came another at Battle Creek and yes
terday our dispatches told of other ac-
cidents at Birmingham, Ala, and Lima,
o. Some of these disasters were acct
dental; Others resulted from the criminal
carelessness of the operatives, who will
probably be punished according to law.
There has been lots of preaching about
railway accidents; how to prevent them.

But it has all amounted to moth
ing And we shall probably continue
10 have accidents on the railroads as long
as rapid transit exists and human nature
is fallible.

a simple piece Of India print silk or

OF goods by outlining the pattern on

the silk gives depth and elegance 70

CHICAGO, March 22.-There is a great re-
striction of trade ia wheat on account Of
the fear that the load OF the bull clique is
becoming enormously heavy and unman-
ageable. Business so-day was light from
the outside and heavy even among the
local traders. The reports coming TO hand
concerning the winter wheat were some

age WIS acknowledged from many points.
Europe, where everything up TO date was

poets, reversed the picture to-day and
noted a failure Of portion Of the Algerian

ALI shaky, and gs'nted, and pore
Jes al so knocked out he cant handle hisseu
With u stif upper hp any more;
Shet kim up all alone In the gloom OF room
AS dark AS the tomb, and rs grim,
And then take and send him some roses In

And you can have fun out O. him!
You've ketched him fore now-when his liver

And his appetite notched like a saw
A-mockiu' YOU. maybe. for romancia' round
With a big posy bunch in her paw;
But YOU ketch him, say, when his health Is

And he's fat on his back in distress,
And then ~ou can trot out your little bokay
And not be insulted, guess.
You see. it's like this, what his weaknesses is
Them flowers makes him think Of the days
or his innocent youth, and that mother o. his,
And the roses that she used 10 raise;
So here al alone with the roses you send,
