issued In Elkton on information lodged
by John j. Wright, an employe of a

was insufficient, and the officers being
informed that an attempt to enforce the
service of the warrant would bs consd
cred an assault, concluded that it would
be best not to attempt to arrest the per-
sons wanted They will probably return

Olarkson's Opinion of Lady Voters.

Having studied the activity of WON.
en- in the campaign, he is led to re,
mark 4:
The highest minded man however
jealous or sheltering he may be of his
wife, mother or daughter as against
any rude touch of the world, could
not have found any objection to
what occurred at the polls in
Colorado.
" The women cast large majority
OF the votes in Denver, and the
presence of a single good woman at a
polling-place made the men there as
quiet and respectable as at threatre
or church, and, regardless of her
rank or station, the American woman
is as much of queen at the polls as
in the drawing room and as much
Difference is paid her."

The suferings of Female Suffragists.

Western reports have it, now tha
females of their section have the
right to vote, that they are too timid
to fully enjoy the great privilege. OF
$4,000 Chicago women who register
ed only about 5000 mustered the
courage to vote, and about 5000 of
these swore off for the future. We
apprehend that to make female suf-
frage free from all suffering it will be
necessary to give her special quarters
or mark her booth this apartment
for ladies only" and then keep tn he
men out with a club or something.
Then by having special police to see
that she gets out as sleek and clean
as she gets in she may prove a great
moral factor to her country while the
baby squawls in its loneliness.
No matter how much silk was in
the stockings they wore, or with what
manly flourish Of female trumpets
they registered, when it came to en-
tering the crowd and voting they
quailed. The polls, as polls generally
are, were painted more or less brown
with tobacco juice and they lacked
all parlor-like appearance in the eyes
of the ladies. Besides the Judges
and clerks were found to be more
hilarious than sedate. Then Just
what to do with the ballots after they
got them in the presence of gaping
and anxious crowd of political buns
and FOUNDERS had a tendency to
further confuse the sovereign power
in the female grasp, and in conse
quence many were marked wrongly
and after all their trouble, rejected.
Under certain conditions female suf-
frage may yet straighten up things in
this country; but the conditions
don't seem to be here yet.
