The liveliness of the equal suffrage move

the past as to need only mention here.
While there are doubtless many women who
could fill the office. yet it is one in which the
experience gained by Mrs. Cheney during her

we cannot afford to lose at this time

the older lads dragged them out into

was pulled off. Several of them suffer

REV. DR.. Parkhurst having explored
the slums of New York and published
a realistic description of them, some
body is now doing the same in respect
OF those in Philadelphia. Probably the
example will be followed in other cities.
But there is nothing new that hasn't
been old. Such explorations have been
made from the time slums commenced.
and that was soon after the te-
ginning of the world, and all with the
same result-no good. Wealth attracts
poverty, and both are conducive to vice,
and what has been discover ed" in the
"Tenderloin" of New York was old in
Thebes, Memphis, Babylon and Ninevah,
and is familiar to the young men OF all
the cities of this country. These spurts
of moral busybodies give those who
make them some temporary notoriety,
but do those in whose interest they are
protested to be made no good, and
naturally tend to disseminate and il.
crease the referred to evil.

AS THE democrats have experienced
a realizing sense of the evils of repudia-

the idea entered the brains of some OF

ducive to the welfare of the party
whose interest they profess to have at
heart? Every man has right to vote
in this country, and reputation of eau
Gus action by certain members of a
party at one election, is bound to be re-

Mr.. BURNS, the English labor leader,
in bidding good bye to the federation
of labor at Denver last week, advised
the members of that order to select for
their leaders and delegates only such
men as are actually engaged in their
