Now that women are in politics there
will be fewer of them in religion. In
stead of engaging in humane and CHAIR.
table work as was her wont, many of
them will be found on the stump, in star

unceasing and mad race for Office. We
fear the sewing circle, the prayer meet
ing, the hospital, and ever the Sunday
school and church, all Of which are now
kept up entirely by the women, many Of
whom do 1t through ambition, honor,
etc, will now suffer. The political field
is new and novel to them; they have
yearDingly gazed over its green and in
viting pastures for years; they see in it
glory, honor, power and wealth. Poll
tics have ruined as many men as has
whiskey, gambling and cyprlans com
bined. 1t will ruin even a greater num-
Der of women 1t has caused good mel
to become liars, thieves and murderers; it
has brought on wars and destroyed ma
tions. And all this is what women are
going to leave the finer and nobler walks
in life to engage in. They argue that
they have a constitutional right to par
ticipate in these blessed (?) privileges;
that they are Disseminated against be-
cause of their sex; that they we're Great
cd the equal OF men in all things, and
that in them reposes the "redeeming
grace" OF the nation. They insist that
they should be prohibited nothing en-
joyed by men; that they are willing to
cope with their stronger companions ain
war and in peace" IN prosperity and IN
adversely; that their equal walks in life
are only obstructed by a bit of paper,
aud to the end that all irregularities may
be harmonized, they demand the right of
suffrage. Some of the states of the
union have granted female suffrage,
Others are about to submit the question
to popular vote, and while it bids fair to
soon become a formidable issue in the
politics Of the nation, may it be said to
the fair name Of the Of this Ter
ritory that peace, contentment, modesty,
and and an abiding love OF home and
children subdues and holds at bay all
ambition to become politicians, states

several weeks. To add to her sorrow
her mother had cast her off and she dc
termined to get out OF her trouble.
She attempted to die by taking morph-

A. f. Nichol was in the Mogollons sew
eral days last week on business connect
ed with bis office of cattle and hide in
spector. His headquarters were at the
w. S. Ranch with Capt. French. Mr..
Nichol says that all the talk about the
closing down of the mines at Mogollon
is unwarranted. While it is true that
people there are not in the best Of spirits
over the price Of silver, it is not true
that mine owners have ordered q sus-
pension of operations. In fact there is
one condition at least which gives rise
to the hope that even with silver at It's
present low price times may soon bright
en-. The Little Fannie, Maud S. and
several smaller properties are growing
stronger in both gold and silver every
day. The mines are running double
shifts and the shipments OF ore and bull
hon increase weekly. 1t is generally ru-
mored that the miners on the Little
Fannie will suffer a reduction of wages
to $3.50 per day on the first of April, but
that the other miners in the camp will
share the same fate is not probable
In speaking of the cattle industry
along the Mangas and ella country, Mr.
Nichol says that it never looked more
promising The cattle are rolling in fat
the streams are full Of water and the
ranges are beginning to take on a carpet
OF green. All along the line there is the
best Of feeling among the ranch and cat.
tie men and there is substantial evidence
OF prosperity on every hand.
