PAY INSPECTOR STEVENSON.

1t II Thought That Pay Inspector Casvsell
viii Be Promoted Over His Head.
Naval gossip to the effect that the Secretary
Of the Navy is determined that Pay Inspector
Stevenson shall not be promoted to the
vacancy in the list of pay directors is con-
firmed by his action in ordering Pay Inspector
Caswell. who il next in line to Stevenson, be-
fore naval examining board for examination
for promotion.
Mr.. Caswell passed the physical examination
yesterday and was today examined as to his
professional knowledge. Pay Inspector Steven
son passed both examinations, Notwithstanding
which it is probable Pay Inspector Caswell viii
be promoted over his head.
In that event Mr.. Stevenson would re-
tain his place at the head of the list and be
eligible for the next vacancy that occurs.

Action of the Moorish Government Toward
al. s. Consular Representative.

Act1Ou OF the MOOr1sh Government Toward
al. 5. Consular Representative.
TANGIER, Feb. "a Senior Rizzo, the new
Portuguese consul appointed to represent that
country at Fez. and who also claims authority
to represent the United States in a cons ular
capacity, has presented his credentials to the
Moorish government at Fez.
The Moorish authorities rudely refused TO
recognize him and declined TO grant him Q resi-
dence in the capital on the ground that foreign
agents were only allowed to reside at the Moor
ish ports.
Ii is pointed out that both France and Great
Britain have agencies at Fez, and attention is
called to the presence at the sultan's court of
three military missions. accredited by
the French, Italian and Spanish gov
ernments and connected with their
respective legations at Tsngier. These estsb-
lishmeuts paid for by the Moorish
government and cost the sultan about
f24O0 q year. These missions are virtually
offshoots Of their respective Legations
at Tangier. The missions are. in
fact, small intelligence departments on
Moorish Affairs for their respective govern
ments. and are OF considerable yalus. esps
cially in the case Of France.

POPULISM DEAD
The Elections Show bu. Very Few
Counties Carried in the L. s..
Ey Followers of Mrs. Lease.

The elections last week clearly proved
one fact. and that is the fact that the
visionary principles and cries of repudia
tion anarchy INDUCED in the Populists
are dead.
A few of the smaller counties in Colo
rado gave even larger Populist votes this
year than last. This is particularly
noticeable in the western tier of counties.
but the State went Overwhelmingly Re
publican.
In Kansas but few of the counties
where the Greenbackers once had their
strongholds went Populist. The state
officers elected are all Republican, and
almost every county went Republican.
In Virginia where the Populists sent
their best speakers and large amount
of money. the state went Democratic by
about 60OOO.
In Nebraska the Populists made slight
gains, which was no doubt due to the
fact that the Democrats had recently
endorsed Cleveland. which caused the
Bryan following to bolt
In Denver when it became known that
the county and most of the state had
shown their disapproyal of Governor
Waite. Wheels" Holden. and their at
tempts to ruin the State, business at once
picked up. produce of every kind adyanc-
ed in price, and mining stocks rose from
three to five points.
These facts clearly prove that the
majority of the people in Colorado and
Kansas are not satisfied with the revolu-
and Waite. and prefer the better times
we enjoyed under a Republican admin
istration
In the elections OF tie East Of course
the Populists are not factor. but the
results clearly show that the people do
not approve of Clevelard's policy, as
everywhere that elections were held the
Republicans got everything, even New
Jersey which never went Republican be-
fore in the history of the State. Ohio's
election clearly shows who will be the
next President of the United States.
We are glad that We never voted any
ticket but the Republican, and if Sena-
tors Teller. Wolcott. Jones. Stewart.
Cameron and other Republicans who are
in the silver fight see the best hopes for
the white metal in the E. o. p, We know
their constituents will sustain them in
their actions.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Women VIII Vote tn This Stale ) asst
Like 4 sIaE.


Woman's Suffrage has carried by a
good majority in our State, and it puts a
new phase on politics. Many questions
arise as to what effect it will have.
How will they vote? What per cent
will vote: Will they want Office? VIII
they all vote for prohibition?
There is one thing sure the saloon cle-
ment will get black eye. The major
ity Of women are decidedly in favor Of
temperance. Last spring in Kansas it was
found most Of them voted with the Re
publican party. The man who negiects
his family will stand but Little show OF
election as far rs the female vote goes
Many Of the women OF our State will
be eager and active in political matters.
and to be contrary will vote exactly OPP
positc to their husbands and brothers.
Others VIII pay but little attention to
the study of which party is right or
wrong, but will vote jus. us hubby
does. When candidate is placed in
nomination it is supposed naturally the
questions will be raised What style OF
coat does lie wcar?- Does lie part his
hair in the middle!'' HAS he a nice
moustache?" Does he come home late
at nigh;:" is he good 10 his family"
Does he drink:" and other queries will
be Of us much value in securing the fe.
male vote Us the questions Of grcenback
currency, state banks. protection, or the
sub. treasury scheme.
The first opportunity the ladies of
next spring when a Mayor, three council
men, n Town Clcr.: and Town Treasurer
are TO be elected We believe they will
manifest more interest in this and sckool
elections that in national elections.

the light Of conspirators against one of

fact remains that. while Colorado may
