How They ACTED Up.n

The following description of the
scenes which transpired in the republi-
can state convention is from the Gate
City Journal. When it is understood
that the editor is a woman in full flush
and blush of ripened maidenhood, the
pertinency and pith of the picture
stands out in greater refulgence. In
other words, she knows woman:
Then the brave women mounted
the tables, put their arms akimbo, and
with their bonnets oyer their left ears,
asked the men what they were going
to do about it, and the men whOoped
and 'hollered' and promised to tend the
babies and let their wives and hired
girls do the voting, and then they all
fell on each others necks and wept
their tears that assayed ninety five per
cent. dairy salt, and swore they hadn It
felt so good in six months.
just as they began to cool off little,

Gait said that it was not their intention
to give the hired girls suffrage, when
Aunt Liza Hudson jumped up and
Indignantly protested that she was not
going to leave her hired girl at home
alone with the old man to tend the ba-
by; then the tumult began again and
they made Rome howl until some one
cried rats" Then the women climb
ed anything in sight and screamed
till you could have heard them for four
miles, but after while the chairman
got little quiet restored and told the
girls they were making an exhibition
of themselves and asked the men to go
out so the women could come down.
There was little Kilkenny business
while the men stayed outside, but
after a while the sky cleared up and
the convention got down to business. -

Five Miles Without Steam.

A marvellous race, up grade and
down, in which momentum was the
motive power, took place on the
Consolidated road. Five miles be-
low Stamford the cylinder head of
the big engine, No. 247, blew out,
while the train was making express
time.
Instead of stopping, and getting
stalled, Engineer Scofield let the
machine have its head and pulled
into Stamford station on time, and
not even the conductor knew that
anything was the matter until the
engineer called for another engine,
and No. IA was put on and pulled
the train to this city.
The five miles was run without a
pound of steam, and solely on the
momentum the train was under when
the mishap took place. New Haven

Uncle Sans Deficit.

A Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution gives some fig
uTes and deductions that are interest
ing and appropriate and worthy OF
careful consideration by democrats
everywhere. He says, concerning the
talked of issue of more bonds:
Up to date there has been a deficit
for the year in Uncle Sans bank
account of $4,000, 600. The govern
ment expenditures have been that
much more than the receipts. All sorts
of causes for the deficit are given. But
as matter of fact it is the Mckinley
tariff law. In that law large number
of articles are taxed at such high rate
that they are no longer imported and
the government derives no revenue.
Again when formerly s45 900 900 was
raised annually from a small tax on
sugar nothing is derived now, and S10.-
100000 is paid out in bounty 30 sugar
producers,
Still another cause cf the deficit is
the enormous increase in pensions

SOME populists say female suffrage
is not a political question, and some
republicans say that the A. 2. A. is
not political association. Neither is
political until brought into politics by
their advocates. When the populists
plank in their platform favoring the
passage of the amendment they made
female suffrage a part of their creed;
and when the a. p. a. pledges its
for any Office it makes itself political
organization of the most dangerous
kind, inasmuch as it does its work in
secret and makes fight On one partic-
ular church organization. There are
doubtless good men who have been led
by what they thought was patriotism
to join the order Of A. 2. A. many of
them today wish they had not done so.
Many populists also wish they had not
endorsed female suffrage. and there
are thousands throughout the state
who will not have that question thrust
down their throats. They now begin
to realize that the same crank element
that has been responsible for most of
the idiocracy of the republican party of
Kansas in past years have now taken
up camp in the new party and will soon
run it into the ground. There is only
one consistent thing for such voters to
do, and that is to vote the democratic
ticket and teach the extremists a les
son in politics that may benefit them in
future

Then let women begin at home; let
them send forth to the ballot box hus-
bands and sons, kings among men
indeed and in truth.
Again, is it conducive to happiness
between man and woman that they
should be engrossed in the same inter
ests? Man looks to the companionship
of. woman for rest and comfort, to
r6fFesh him from a busy life. A
woman no more than man can lead a
dual life. If she is in the same world
with him she must meet what he meets,
endure what he enGures, and being
physically weaker must suffer more.
Can man then look to her for compan-
ionship? Women, more than men, are
creatures of impulse, enthusiasm and
intensity. In a mind filled with polit-
ical questions what room is there for
the little ones? Time enough you say;
but it cannot be called enough until it
is all. Can human mind comprehend
the responsibility of having in charge
child's soul, pure and holy. as 1t
came from God; what nobler right,
what grander duty; a vague realization
of this comes to every woman's heart.
In proportion as she cherishes or
crushes it does she become a womanly
woman. Yours truly,

''BE ALL things to all men" is the
play of the republicans of this county
this year. The two republican news
papers of this city are public samples
of the party's position on the female
suffrage question. Col. Borders, in
the Register. opposes female suffrage
after manner that is hoped to pla-
cate the anti wing of the party, while
Granny Townsley of the Tribune is
apparently ready to break his neck to
truckle to the suffrage wing. This is a
year when the republicans realize that
if they don't win in Kansas they are
forever gone, and ''be all things to all
men, is the cry of the bankers and
lawyers party.
