Man and His Boon. the BALLOT.

To the EDITOR;
Would the gentlemen who use their utmost
endeavors to knock out the woman suffrage
question kindly condescend to inform me how
long they have possessed that boOa called the
ballot that they are so chary OF extending It
to the women? Know they not that mankind
almost universally. have lived and died ignorant
OF the fact that the only rlgt cous system Of
government was that which was founded upon
the will OF the Majority And when jefferson
declared that "all men we're created free and
equal" man began 10 sigh over his long lost
rights; was astonished that he had not dlscov-
cred the important truth before; msrvelled that
the world had slumbercd long and so pro-
foundly over It's privileges. It's interests and
It's immunities, and was surprised that the dis.
covery had never been made before that the
majority should govern and that the people were
the only rlEhtful soyereigns. What n humill-
atlng picture OF mans stupidity and mental deg
radiation does this one Circumstance present
What a comment on the pride and wisdom OF
this destined heir Of Immortality" A neglect
to exercise the faculties which God has given
him is the cause Of all his wrongs and OF all
his misfortuAes. He can plead no excuse In sx-
tsnustion. Neither nature nor circumstances can
iurniah him with d suincisnt spoioxy for such
dsiinqaency. ARTHUR ME-

HAD NO WORK,SOUGHT DEATH
John Roman Jumps fa:o the North
River n Second Time.

John Roman, twenty-one years old, of
90 Christopher street, attempted suicide
shortly after / o'clock this morning. by
jumping into the North River at the
foot OF West Eleventh street
Roman would probably have succeeded
in ending his life. but for the arrival of
Policeman Martin Copeland, of the
Charles street station. who had been
summoned to the spot by man who
saw him jump In.
Copeland borrowed hook and pole
from a captain Of canal-boat. and
after a great deal of trouble Roman was
gotten out of the water. He was taken
to the Charles street Station-house,
where he was locked up for the night.
This Is the second attempt that Roman
has made to end his life. His first
effort was made about three months
ago. when he jumped into the North
River at the foot of West Tenth street
He would have drowned that time had
II not been for a companion named Hen
Messy, who jumped In after him and
finally rescued him after hard strug-
gle.
Romans motive for trying to end his
life Is probably the result of not finding
employment. About seven months ago
he lost his position as a book agent and
has had no regular employment since:
Court this morning Roman said he did
not mean to end his life, and Justice
Noorhis. after a severe reprimand dis
charged him.

A BOSS wHITEwAsH JOB.

Senator Gray. OF Della ware. has es-
tablished his reputation as the boss Of
Senatorial whtowashers.
His committee found that Secretary
Carlisle mad privately advised with GER
tain members OF the Finance Committee
of the Senate on the sugar schedule. but
Mr. Gray pronounccs the newspaper
article stating that fact without
foundation" and declares that the ac-
ton OF the correspondent who made II
public calls for SERIOUS rcprobation."
The sugar ,.a-ses before the Commit
tee as witnesses admitted that the Trust
had given money to both Republican
and Democratic political organizations,
but absolutely refused 10 state the
amounts. MIR. Gray says there is no
testimony to show that the sugar
schedule was made to favor the Trust
in consideration OF campaign contribu-
tons.
The Committee found that Mr.. Have
meyer and the other Sugar Trust
monopolists had been in Washington
while the sugar schedule was under dis
cussion. and had consulted with Sena-
tors with the view of influencing legisla-
ton. Mr.. Gray says there Is nothing to
show that they used any improper
means to that end.
1t being impossible to deny that some
Senators gambled In sugar stocks while
the market was being Influenced by
their votes on the schedule, Mr.. Gray
mildly says that some of them "closed
out their holdings before the voting
began" and assails the character OF the
men who brought some of these specu-
lations to light.
Mr.. Gray has mistaken his profession.
He ought to have gone into business as
a boss kalsominer.

The Gospel of 81. John.

To the Editor:
81. D. G." says that the resurrection OF Lazarus
from the deae is Just AS historically true as the
acts OF Caesar. Brutus and Alexander the Great.
with this statement I venture to disagree The
lives OF those great men are a,tested by noun
tains OF impartial outside evidence, but, though
they did many wonderful things. they never at.
tempted to upset the laws OF nature. AS for
Lazarus nobody ever heard Of him except the
author OF the Gospel according to st. John"
Matthew Mark and Luke do not so much as men
tion him. and all the great historians OF the time
are silent concerning him. He must have been
a despicable character. whoever he was. for he
allowed his benefactor. Christ, to die on the
cross without much as going him One
important thing must not be overlooked, how
ever. Modern Biblical research has established
the fact that the ro-called Gospel according to
St. John was not written until more than 200
years after the death OF the Apostle whose name
