WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Although
the finance committees bill for the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act will not be formally
taken up in the senate today, the
general subject will de discussed by
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who
brings to its study mind that has
penetrated all the mysteries of
finance, and that has been ripened by
experience in the house and senate
outlasting generation of mankind.
Morrill, has occupied for many con-
crosses the position of chairman of
the committee on finance, and is now
one of the leading Republican mem
bers of that committee. He has
chosen for the text of his speech the
sentence "Sound Money Cheats No.
body and it is understood he will
avow himself the friend of bimetal-
lism while gladly voting for the re-
peal Ol Illt SDefDidu ACT.
Inasmuch as vote will be taken
this evening on the admission of SEN
ators appointed by governors of states
where Legislators have failed TO elect,
it is not probable that much, il any,
progress will be made on the bill to
allow national banks an increased
circulation.
The impression is growing about
the capital that the present extra
ordinary session OF congress may
come to an end about the middle of
September. This appears to be based
upon confidence in the possibilities
OF a compromise being entered into
within that period upon the financial
question. Nearly all important leg
islation accomplished in recent years
has been the result of a compromise,
and the outcome of conference COM
mittees. Those persons who hold to
the opinion that an adjournment is
possible next month say that Mr..
Vests proposition to provide for the
free coinage of silver at ratio OF 20
to will be passed by the senate, and
ultimately will become part of the
unconditional repeal which it is ex-
pected will be passed by the house.
The likelihood of "a veto by Presi-
dent Cleveland of such measure has
been discounted by believers in the
reported early adjournment. They
argue it would be impossible to rally
two thirds vote in either house to
pass it over his veto, and that moth
ing could be accomplished so far as
the financial situation is concerned
by congress remaining in session after
such vote has been received. The
more experienced watchers of politi-
cal events place no confidence in
these early adjournment theories.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.

Tsx-Psying Detroit Women Petition for .
Vote I'm Shaping City Laws.
New York sun.
Detroit ladies are agitating the question
of municipal suffrage for women. A con-
servative estimate of the property owned
by women In the city represents an amount
not less than twenty millions, about one
seventh of the taxable property in the
municipality. On the ground OF the in
justice of taxation without repre-
sentatlon, the women have prepared q
petition asking for a voice in the shaping
of lave controlling the large revenue they
are compelled yearly TO paw into the citY
treasury. England. they cite. has for years
given the municipal franchise to tax-psy-
ing women. Kansas. by an aos of its Legis-
lature, gave to women of the State munich
pal suffrage, with the same limitations as
provided by men. Montana provides that
all women taxpayers shall vote upon mat
tiers pertaining TO property. and Wyoming
came into the Union with universal
suffrage. Iceland has given full suffrage to
women; New Zealand has within the year
incorporated into its city laws suffrage for
women; even Russia gives the franchise To
women who pay q certain tax. and imposes
a fine upon men and women alike who do
not exercise their rights at the polls. And
the Detroit descendants of the men who
threw the tea Into the Boston harbor
claim that they have been protesting long
enough over the teacup, and propose TO use
tnelI 1nuuenCe IN affairs pertaining TO ROO0
laws and an economical expenditure Of
money.
Women in the East have, despite the Gus
toms OF the semi.barbarjc nations, greater
honor and influence than is generally
known. Even in Turkey. according to the
London Standard, woman has vast in-
finence. and in time of need asserts
herself. The BedouiD branch of the Arabs
recognize also the genius of women. They
take counsel with the elders and at q
Crisis, when a tribe is battling for exist
ence. q maiden is put ct the head of their
army, in token that they mean to conquer
or die. Th girl general is chosen for her
courage. prudence and force of character.
She presides at the councils of the warriors,
and may oppose her decisions to theirs.
Upon the day of battle she rides her camel
IN front of the men, chanting the epics of
the tribe, encouraging the brave and taunt-
ing the enemy. She rarely survives a de-
feat, but when the battle Is lost rides into
the ranks of the enemy, seeking death.
