Woman Sufrage-New York and
England.

Inc energetic effort to secure woman
suffrage has failed in the Suffrage Com
mlttee OF the New York Constitutional
convention. 1t was probably the most
methodical, persistent and carefully
conducted attempt which has heen
haue TO introduce woman suffrage i'm
an American State. The incentive was
powerful one for the friends of wo-
man suffrage. They saw a chance tn
win over their views the leading State
OF the country aud its capitulation
would undoubtedly have made the sur.
render of the other States more prOm-
lslng. The woman suffrage campaign
III New York failed mainly because the
women were divided on the issue
Many intelligent women opposed the
measure actively. An overwhelming
majority of them were either hostile to
the movement or had so little interest
IN 1t that they declined to enroll them.

Jority against the proposed amendnent
IN the suffrage Committee appears to
oe fair reflex of the disposition of the
women themselves toward the amend

among the New York women it is not
surprising that the same line of cleav-
age ran through the Committee on
Suffrage.

during this session of Parliament, but
the Suffrage petitions will be preserved

Judged at this distance, that leading
English women are not divided on this
subject to the same extent as their
American sisters.

before she could get her mouth open,
Norton, began, his face turning red

Norton's men friends gave him a

Local Option Commended.

The CentreUille Observer, of last week
makes the following comment upon
conduct of the crowd of persons as
sembled there on Friday, 9th, to wit
ness the execution of William jackson
and compares the same with that of
the execution of one Saul Brown, hung
in 1856:
'If anybody doubted the efficiency of
local option as a restraint to people
and protection to society that person
no doubt changed his mind last FRIDAY.
No liquor was sold here, and very little
if any was brought here. Not a
drunken man could be seen anywhere.
Everybody was sober while here, and
went home sober. Good order pre-
vailed. People were not besotted with
whiskey they kept their heads level,
and consequently respected the law
and themselves. When Saul Brown
was hung here in 1856 the crowd drank
all the whiskey in the town, emptied
every barrel and every bottle that
could be found. AS q consequence
many were drunk fights were numer-
Gus; broken noses and bunged up eyes
were the order of the day. Last Fri
day the exact reverse was apparent.
No drunkenness, no disorder of any
kind, no fights, no broken noses and
no punched out eyes, 1t certainly
looks like great moral progress has
been made, Certainly the peace and
good order of the community has been
maintained at no cost and nervous
women and timid men feel that it is a
safe community to live in. Much of
this, very much, is due to the fact that
no liquor is sold here, and the people
feel that local option has been a good
thing. 1t saves people their money,
their home and their personal comfort,
1t saves the community the awful
scenes of drunkenness and disorder
which used to be witnessed, and it
saves men their noses unbroken and
their eyes unpunched. Much there
for is due to it, and it is right to give
credit where credit is due"

IHE CAMPAIGN IN ALABAMA One
OF the most exciting campaigns ever
known IN Alabama has been proceed
ing for some months and the election
which Is to decide the contest is one
week Of-August 7th.
There are only two candidates for
Governor in the field and both of these
claim to be Democrats. Congressman
Oates was nominated by the regular
Democratic convention and Reuben
Kolb by the boiling Democratic fac
ton which calls itself the Jeffersonian
Democracy. Mr.. Kolb was a candi-
date for the same Office two years ago
and was supported by the same faction.
and has always claimed that he was
defeated by fraud. He has since been
reorganizing his party and strengthen
ing it, and his followers now have the
local control in thirty-eight out of
sixty-six counties and the prospect of
fairer vote August 7 is better.
The alignment of the voters in the
| contest is somewhat curious and illus
trates the general breaking up of par
ties now taking place in the South. 1t
is probable that a majority of the white
Democratic vote has aligned itself
with the Kolb faction. He also has
the support of whatever strength the
POpulist party has developed in Ala
bama. In such contest the Republi-
can vote would have the deciding
voice if it was solid. But it is not,
1t is also split into two factions, one
being generally known as the white
faction and the other the colored fac
ton. The white faction met and de-
cided to put no ticket in the field, and
the understanding is that it will sup
port KOlb. The State Committee of
the colOred faction also refused to
nominate State ticket and in cir
cular sent out last week advises the
negroes to vote for Congressman
Oates.
In this situation the colored vote Is
the uncertain and important factor in
the campaign. Both sides are suing
for it but in a different way. The reg
ular Democrats are making open bids
for the black mans support and point.
ing to benefits received and others to
come as an inducement. The Kolb
party want the negro's support, but ia
a negative way. They have asked
him not to register or vote in the black
counties and so deprive the regular
Democrats OF the chance to count the
colOrod vote for them, or, if they do it,
make the detection of the fraud easy

Feeding Wheat,

An Ohio farmer says: Last Sep
tember | had 10 fine shoats which had
been on clover all summer and were in
fine condition, weighing 1900 pounds
when put in the pen. l fed those hogs
so bushels of wheat, soaked II hours
before feeding. l sold those hogs at
$500 per hundred and they weighed
1000 pounds. A gain of 1900 pounds
at $50 per hundred would give me
$67 20 for so bushels of wheat, which
would have sold at 80 cents per bushel,
$26 Now, can any farmer say it

At the Republican State Convention
of Iowa the prayer of Rev. J. L..
Weaver. pastor of the Christian Church
at Des MOines, was the most remark
able feature of the proceedings. He
began by invoking the divine blessing
on the country IN this hour of peril and
asked that its enemy, the democratic
party, be as merciful dealt with as pos.
sible, and that the people be thankful
for ali the good it did if it did anything
to elicit their sympathies. He closed
by appealing to Omnipotence to assist in
expediting the democratic party from
power and lay the hand of divine dis
pleasure on it and restrain it forever
from the exercise of government
authority. The prayer was a startling
one.

Cui Bono?

A harmless fellow, wasting useless days,
Am III love my comfort aud my leisure.
Let those who wish them toll for gold and praise
TO me this summer day brings more of pleas
ure.
So, here upon the grass lie at ease,
While solemn voices from the Past are calling,
Mingled with rustliDg whispers in the trees,
And pleasant sounds OF water idly falling.
There was time when had higher aims
Than thus to lie among the flowers and listen
To lisping bird or watch the sunsets flames
On the broad rivers surface glow and glsten.
There was a time, perhaps. when had thought
To made name--a hOme-a bright existence
But time has shown me that my dreams were
naught
Save mirage, that vanished with the distance
Well, it is gone: care no longer now
For fame, fortune, or for empty praises
Rather than wear crown upon my brow
I'd lie forever here among the daisies.

the remainder.

'vot vii 1 ged for a Grismas bresent?''

salesman returned. Step rigid over by
the gounder and pick for yourself a
handsome silk necktie''
''What! Do 1 hear rigid? Only a
