The vote of the legislature to
submit all amendment to enfranchise
women makes the present necessity
for activity of suffragists. A long,
strong campaign is impending, the
formal opening of which is to be a
mass meeting, held on Sept. LIST

THE WILD SUNFLOWER.

At early dawn, like soldiers in their places,
Rank upon rank the golden Lunfowers stand;
Gazing toward the East with eager faces,
Waiting till their god shall touch the land
To life and glory, longing they wait.
These voiceess watchers at the morning gate.
Dawn's portal tremble silently apart;
Far to the East across the dewy plain,
glory kndles that, in every heart,
Finds ample warmth, and kindles there again.
While rapture beams from every radiant face
Now softly glowing with supernal grace.
And all day long with silent worship keeps;
And as their god moves grandly down the West
From ever stem gthening shadow creeps
Toward the East-ah then they love him best,
And watch till every lingering ray has gone
Then slowly turn to greet another dawn.

No Occasion For Tears.
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital.
The New York Times in long
editorial makes fearful plea to the
Democracy and "the women whose
voices have not been heard FROM"
to rescue the wives and mothers
and sisters and daughters from fe-
male suffrage. The Times laments
at length the great damage of our
women "being spoiled for all the
finer uses of the sex" Rousing all
the manly fire of his Troubadour
heart the writer intimates in the fol-
lowing good English that he cares
nothing for the men of Kansas, and
that the state can even go to hades,
but his swelling bosom is all torn
up over the terrible future of the
women. He says: "Our sympa-
thies are not with the men Of Kan
say in this struggle, nor are we So
licitous for the public interests OF
that state, which have been SO be-
deviled by fanaticism and incompe-
ency under manhood suffrage. Its
people are entitled to make politi-
cal bedlam of it if they see fit, and
try wild experiments with social or
der and the machinery of the gov
eminent. If it's men are such fee
BILE creatures as to surrender their
prerogatives and submit in craven
fashion to the superior pretensions
of loud-mouthed viragoes, they de-
serve the fate that awaits them.
But we grieve to think of the effect
upon the women themselves if
those who are now taking part in
politics shall succeed in subduing to
their standard of womanhood the
whole sweet sisterhood of the
state"
We assure the owner of these
tender sensibilites that the women
of Kansas, while probably gratefal
TO him for his unselfish devotion,
are not alarmed about being spoil

ed for all the finer uses OF the sex"
They believe, we may add tor the
information of the Times, that as
intelligent citizens and taxpayers,
they are entitled to voice in the
transaction of public business.
They believe that a study Of citi
GEMS duty and knowledge of the
machinery ,of government will not
unfit them for wives, or sweethearts,
or mothers. They believe that the
enlarged political privileges given
them by full suffrage will open wider
the doors of useful occupations
and honorable professions, and raise
the wages of all women who work
and secure to them equal pay with
men for the same grade of work.
1t is not believed by the men of
Kansas that a woman who is intel
ligent as to her political duties is
disqualified for the high place of
wife or mother. The world is pro-
crossing and broadening and widen
ing, and adapting itself to new con-
ditions, and in it all, woman is pro-
crossing in spite of the many small
iealousies and narrow prejudices OF
men whose idea of womankind is
confined to an ideal home. We ven
ture to say in the great city where
the Times is printed there are tens
of thousands of intelligent, strug-
Cling women, as there are in every
great centre of population, who
would have fairer chance in the
contest for honest bread if men
were generous enough to give them
their political rights. Woman suf-
frage will succeed in Kansas be-
cause it is right and fair and just 10
the women. If the editor Of the
Times will come to Kansas after the
men of this state have made women
their equals before the law, as they
will; do in 1894, he will see thou
sands of happy homes in every
county of our splendid state, where

Some years ago the Second regiment
of life-guards was quartered in the
cavalry barracks, Windsor, and an or
der was given for the destruction of
all dogs in the barracks On the
morning of the day on which the ca
nine friends of the troops were to be
destroyed, the queen made an inspec-
ton of the Windsor garrison, and
while passing through the quarters OF
the Second ife-guards. accompanied
by the colonel of the regiment, was
much attracted by the appearance of a
small but very pretty terrier dog
named Dick, belonging to Corporal
Woodhouse, one of the bandsrnen.
The queen paused, caressed the little
dog, and spoke to it. This saved its
life, for the colonel gave orders that
Dick should be allowed to live, while
the rest of the dogs were killed in ac-
cordance with the edict that had gone
forth. Dick for many years after was
the favorite of the regiment, and was
honored with collar decorated with
the regimental buttons. on the plate
of which were some lines narrating
how the animals life was saved

but slight sprinkling of earth and
sand and an oil stove to transform my

my extra early chicks, where they are
easily and economically cared for till
the weather moderates sufficiently to
allow the chicks to live outdoors. If

not need to question to learn that
James Dalton, this boys father, had
been his savior on that awful day. 1t
did not need the corroborating testi-
mony OF young Ethel to tell him the
lad was innocent of any theft.
Charlie Dalton did not sleep in prison
that night. He was an honored guest
at Judge Weston's, and became the
adopted son of that good old man, and
later became Walters law partner.

Judge Joel Weston's house was
robbed one night just previous to Dec
grafton day. What the thieves OBJ
tained did not amount to much and aid
not worry the old Judge in the least.
But with his gardener it was different.
The rascals had effected an entrance
through his conservatory, and had evil
IDENTIFY made hurried exit. doing con-
siderable damage to many choice
plants. The appearance of things IN
the morning when the depreciation was
first discovered indicated that, for
some purpose, pure viciousness or
what it was hard to tell, lot of
flowers had been taken away, for many
were missing and many were found
strewing the way the burglars had
gone.
Therefore it was old Sampson, the
irascible old gardiner, who was the
most put out at the piece of villainy.
