Women at The Polls.

There were seven women came into a

and stood by the door, whispering to one
ANOTHER says the Chicago Record.
Ladies, do you wish to vote? asked a
judge, carefully laying his cigar on the
edge of the table.
IF you please" answered one.
We'll, get in line and Wen take your
names"
The first three who were given ballots
gallantly led the way to the booths, and
drew the curtain for the women to enter
After moments silence there was an
'Oo-h-h-h' from one of the booths, and a
woman with a ballot in one hand and
pen in the other, lodged out of her booth
and into the one next to it.
That's contrary to law" remarked one
of the chalengers.
judge
And they heard this conversation from
behind the curtain:
Now all have to do is to put a ween-
ty-teenty cross in this square"
Yes; but. you mustn't vote for more
than three"
Let's see how you've done it,"

'Pshaw! Julia Holmes Smith is n per
fectly lovely woman. I wouldn't vote
against her"
''Ali right, then Oh. my, but this pen
spatters. Is there a blotter here? Now
do we fold them up"
They came out smiling and satisfied
not knowing that they had violated sew
eral provisions of the election law and
laid themselves liable to terms in the pen
itentiary.

The Kind Of Men Wanted.

We are sure We voice the sentiment OF
this community when we say that the PEG.
pie want men Of intelligence and high
character. who are profoundly interested
in Savannah and her welfare, for mayor
and aldermen. They are not welded to
the Citizens Club. or the Tammany Club,
or any other political organization. They
don't care anything about the political
clubs or their purposes. They are not
anxious that one set Of men shall be
turned out Of Office simply that another
set may get in; neither are they concerned
about this or that mans ambl-
ton, or the desire Of this or
that political striker 10 get an
easy job at the city's expense. For bal
lot-box suffers and manipulators, ana
small fra politicians and political drum
mers they have only contempt. Not
many are deceived by those who. having
only personal ends in view. strive to gain
prominence and a following by pretending
TO be reformers or by attacking those who
are in office. The people know when the
city is badly governed, and they are not
likely to retain in office those who are in
competent or corrupt, or who use their
positions to advance the position of them
selves and friends.
The prosperity Of Savannah depends
largely upon being we'll governed. In
order to have good government she must
look for her mayor and aldermen among
her best citizens. It is to the interest of
everyone that the affairs of the city
should be wisely and economically admin
istered; that everything that would tend
to increase the city's commerce should be
done; that improvements should be made
as rapidly as possible, and that there
should be ample protection for life and
property.
1t is evident, therefore, that the people
cannot afford to let the city fall under
the control of men whose chief purpose is
to get the spoils.
The raising of large amounts of money
for campaign purposes ought to be dis
couraged. There is danger in a city gov
eminent that gets into power by the
free use of money. If men do not care
enough about the right to vote to pay
their taxes they ought not to have the
chance to vote. He who votes for the man
or faction that pays his taxes doesn't
exercise his choice. Practically his vote
is bought. He doesn't have a voice in
the election. He votes as he is hidden.
The events of the past few days call
attention strongly to the city election and
emphasize the necessity for insisting that
only mon Of odpo{ttad carocft,r and bfol
character shall be named for places in
the city government. 1t is a matter of
no consequence whether they belong to
political club or not. The thing the peo-
pie should be satisfied about is their fit
ness. The first and only consideration
should be the city's welfare. The people
owe nothing to any club or individual
They are entitled to have as their officials
the best men available.

A Foot Ball Match.


From the Philadelphia Times.
you have tackled my heart fair maiden.
With the team of bright eyes you com
mand.
Which not even the Pennsylvania boys
With their training and skill could
Withstand.
while YOU were serenely unconscious
How you tossed my poor heart to and
fro.
Your hand was the goal that fought for.
As I've struggled for nausht else below.
"Ive umpired the game IN your favor
But thought that as you're referee
And e'er piticd the side that is van
pushed
You would surely have pity on me-"
Then, raising her dark dropping lashes.
She replied, with a glance sweet and
shy:

The Bush Rarroon Bill.

The bill before the legislature to shut up
the barrooms, and which applies to all
counties not now having a prohibitory
liquor law, is not a bill to establish state
dIspensaries like the dispensaries in South
Carolina. 1t is prohibitory bill, pure
and simple. and is intended to stop the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes.
Those who are supporting this bill are
undoubtedly sincere in their belief that if
it We're passed the sale Of intoxicants for
beverages would almost wholly cease
throughout the state. But are they not
mistaken? Would not the proposed law
invite condition Of affairs that would
be more Objectionable than that which
now exists? We believe it would.
We have always upheld the local op-
ton law. BY means of it the sale Of in
toXicating liquors has been stopped in a
majority Of the counties of the state. Pro-
hibition adopted by the majority Of the
people can be enforced. In fact, it is en-
forced. But can prohibition, which has
not a majority of the people back of it, be
enforced? We are satisfied it cannot. 1t
has not been enforced anyw here, though it
has been tried in many places.
Prohibition without the support Of pub
lie sentiment means the secret selling Of
liquor on d large scale, and of the very
worst kind Of liquor. If this bill of Repre-
sentative Bush should become a law there
would be no falling off in the amount of
liquor sold in this city, but instead
of being sold openly it would be sold sur
reptitiously, and that fact alone would in
huence many to drink it who now seldom
or never touch It. There would be an in
crease in drunkenness instead of a falling
Off, and crime would increase in proper
ton.
We are making no plea for the bar
rooms. We are simply pointing out what
the condition of affairs would be if the
barrooms were closed.
Before there can be a prohibition of the
retail liquor traffic the majority of the
people must be opposed to the traffic.
Otherwise the authorities would find it
impossible to enforce such law as is pro-
posed. If the prohibitionists really want
to make Roadway in this state in the cause
of temperance. let them convert the ma
jority of the people to their way of think
ing. When they shall have done that
the way win be open for a state prohiba-
tory law and there would be no difficulty
in enforcing such a law

The Way to Make Money Easy.

II the currency laws were so changed
that money was twice as plentiful as n is
now, IT would Still he difficult for farmers
TO borrow money unless they could give
good security for it. Their position would
not be improved at all in that respect
Then, as now, the money would go to the
financial centers where it could md safe
employment, even If at a low rate, and
then as now, the landowner would find il
more difficult to borrow money than own

wealth. All of these facts only go to show
that the way TO make money abundant is

The refusal Of the iron trade to boom
after the success of the protectionist party
al the polls the other day must be a cir
cumstance that puzzles the republicans.
For a day or two after the election they
saw in the industrial situation most
wonderful revival, founded as they said,
upon the confidence Of the trades in the
successful party. But 1t seems that the
trades saw nothing of boom. The Iron
Trade Review says the squirt in business
in iron was purely sentimental, and had
no foundation in fact. 1t seems that
iron is moving along in just about the
same channel that it did before the trade
knew the next congress would be repub-
lican.

The Umbrella in Law.

A Chicago court has put civilization I'M
der obligations to it with a decision
that should fix the legal status of the UNI
ruling one. the old idea that umbrellas
are common property would be sustained,
with some slight qualification.
The borrower" of an umbrella was
taken before the court on a charge of lar
ceny and disorderly conduct. His defense
was that the instructive promptings of hui
man nature, when he went out into the
rain, induced him to take the first UNI
brella he could lay his hands on. His inten-
ton at the time, however, was to return
the umbrella just as soon as he had fin
ished with it. Upon the hearing of this
defense the complainant consented to Il
non-suiting of the charge of larceny. and
the court dismissed the charge of disor-
derby conduct.
From this it is to be concluded that
when it is raining, and the borrower is
not prompted by malice aforethought and
the desire to add by pilfering to his store
Of worldly goods, it is not a disorderly or
a larcenous act to take the best umbrella
in the rack; provided, always, of course,
that the person so moved by the natural
desire for self-preservation from the rain
registers mentally a determination to
bring the umbrella right back as soon as
the rain stops.
1t is probably a very good thing that
the law. as represented by the Chicago
court has at length recognized a common
possession or enjoyment of property. in
the shape of umbrellas, when it is raining
for If it had not the prospects are that
people would have gone right on borrow
ing them after the usual method. and
other persons would have been so unknd
as to call the act of borrowing something
harsher. AS it is the umbrella rack is put
upon practically the same footing as the
town pump. and, in Georgia, the water
melon patch. There is a community of use
in all these things that is strictly amen
able only to the law Of precedence; other
wise stated, the first person there gets the
first whack at what's going

GREEN RIVER, Wyo., May lS.-The army
Of 200 Coxeyiis which arrived here early

from the United States marshal of Idaho
yesterday, is still in Green River tonight.
United States Marshal Rankin and depu-
ties kept close surveillance over them all

Pacific Railroad company.
The men had determined to
run the stolen train through this
morning al all hazards, but they
were prevented from doing SO by the
tracks being completely blocked with
hundreds of freight cars. The men are
desperate, determined TO go east, and un.
less excellent judgment is exercised by
the authorities there will be serious
trouble.
Marshal Rankin asked tho president

Seventeenth infantry stationed at Fort

quest and the troops left Cheyenne on a
special train AT II o'clock this morning,
