A SUGGESTION TO WOMEN.

When women take an active interest In
public affairs they in nearly all cases make
1t very plain that they do IL as women
they never claim that they are acting as
in all the very delightful environment OF
femininity.
OFTEN when women hold meetings in the
interest Of equal suffrage. or clean govern
ment, or whatever it may be. only women
are invited. This Is usually found a very
satisfactory plan. Such meetings are held

ent stage of development Mr.. Johnson's
friends think one end of it points to the
United States Senate. while the other
hovers over the vicinity of the White
House. In the present campaign Mr..
Johnson holds his meetings in a large
circus tent, which he moves from place
to place about the city Of Cleveland,
and, with the aid of music and fire
works, succeeds in filing. He does not
believe in long speeches. but depends
on funny stories. epigrams and his smile.
His forte is in answering questions. He
invites his audiences to ask questions
and then makes a good-natured reply,
which may cover the point or not, but,
as he follows it up with his smile, the
~questioner is silenced with a feeling that
he has been answered, though he cannot
tell how. He is hypnotized with the
smile. Ohio has a registry law for the
large cities, and since the registration
began in Cleveland it has come to light
that Mr.. Johnson presented each Of the

New Zealand, which has become noted
as a fruitful field for political expert

new departure. The legislature of that
colony has. it is said. decided to Dor
row annually 81, 500, 900 and loan it to
farmers on real estate security at 5 per
cent. interest. The plan contemplates
the borrowing of the money in England
at a low rate Of interest and loaning it
out at an advance. This advanceiwould
probably not more than cover the. ex-
pense of management and would hardly
afford the government a net profit. 1t
is more likely that the scheme is a
purely p%aternal one, based on the idea
of beneiting the people and developing
the country. In some of it's features
the scheme suggests some of those adj
differs from these in the material re-
spect that it does not p an issue
of fiat money or irredeemable currency.
The money which 1t is proposed to bor-
row and loan out to the people is real
money 1t remains to be seen, however,
whether capitalists will be willing TO
loan the government money for such a
purpose. and if it succeed in borrowing
money the future course of the expert
ment will be watched with interest. The
chances are hat II pursued for any
length OF time the government will find
itself over head and ears in debt, with
a vast amount of unconvertible assets
on it's hands.

F~AsCINATIONs OF CRIME.

The fascination that the making of
counterfeit money has for a certain
class of men is remarkable. The Journal
of yesterday chronicled the arrest in
Jay county Of a u man who had
been engaged somewhat extensively in
the work Of coming spurious silver dol
lars. He Is described as an intelligent
and educated youth of good family, and
several other young men suspected of
being his partners in the enterprise are
of the same class. The professional
counterfeiter. as a rule. is an intelli-
gent man. Occasionally one is found
too stupid to understand the nature of
his ~offense. but his career is apt to be
short. since he is unable to conceal his
tracks. The successful counterfeiter, on
the other hand, is preternaturally acute,
partly, no doubt, because the necessities
of his calling require quick-wittedness,
but chiefly because he has good intel
lectual qualities to begin with. 1t Is
the more singular that such men will
engage in this unlawful pursuit since
they are almost invariably able to earn
their living by honest means and could
gain much more money l~egitimately
h a they a get by counterfeiting.
Enticing as the latter art may be. it is
not on record that fortunes have been
amassed by 1T. and few are they who
have practiced it for any time who have
not been detected and punished. Knowl-
edge of these facts does not deter others
from trying their hands at the business,
however, with the inevitable result of
getting their fingers burned. 1t seems
probable that these persons have a
naturally deficient moral sense, and that
with this the temptation of filling their
pockets with money-or what passes for
money-by a short cut is too great for
their powers Of resistance. Even a term
in prison is not certain to cure the ten
dency when it is once acquired.
