MeditattOns.

BY Kaxton, in The Life Kansas City.
The chairman of the Democratic
central committee of the state OF
Kansas is reported to have remarked
in an interview, few days ago.
az one of the reasons why he thought
his party has fighting chance IN
the state, that it is the only party In
the field that opposes equal suffrage
That might have won as an issue
away back in the SOS, but now such
a claim as that drives a whole lot OF
nails into the coffin of any party
~
The writer has always voted the
Democratic ticket, and so what he
says about the mistakes OF the party
is said in love and with authority.
No party can win now that makes
opposition to equal suffrage plank
in its platform. This is woman's
day, aud she has always said that
when her day came, she was going
to take two. Especially in the
great, enterprising, irrepressible
state of Kansas is woman taking
the lead. X"
1t is a sign of the times that pur'
ity. faith and intuition are coming
to the front all along the line. Ten
wears from now, we will smile when
we remember that the male portion
of the people once assumed to say
that women should not vote or hold
office if she desired to. just think
what relic of the dark ages such
an idea is Who has any right to
so decide? ~
But this movement which is
bringing woman to the front does
not mean the putting of man into
the background. 1t does not mean
the taking of any freedom away
from any class. 1t means, on the
contrary, the elevation of true man
hood to the place of authority In
nolitics as elsewhere, where it be-
longs, and from which it has long
been shut out by the corrupt meth
DDS of election and administration
in vogue. 1t does not mean any
separation or antagOnism between
men and women, but closer, bet
ter, more equal union than ever
before, and this to the infinite ad-

brute out of man.
Xxx
1t is spiritualizing, and hence a
purifying, process. 1t is, IN short
the bringing of Jesus of Nazareth
and His long-ignored doctrine OF
love and faith into politics, business
and society. And, as it always has
been in such movements, woman
takes the lead, because she is purer
in heart, and hence more insp!ra'
tional than the average tobacco
chewing, dram drinking, adulterous
male side of the race.
Yes. it means purity and principle
in politics, where it is badly needed,
and n much more intimate, equal
union between the two halves of the
race 1t is the most hopeful sign
of the times. Let us all rejoice and
welcome its dawning.
Xxx
The best that is in man accords
with this hence, the best men are
one with the movement. Sex is not
in it at all. We are rising above all
such animal distinctions. 1t is now
coming to be so that a man and a
woman can be friends, and even
companions, without being smirched
with the stigma and suspicion OF
adultery. A man can be very manly
and a woman very womanly with no
regard whatever to sex. That be-
longs to the animal basis OF pro-
creation. *"
We are in the dawning of the
age when man can look upon woman
without lust, and woman can meet
man without fear of his animality,
and on the basis of equality, and
the thought and distinction of sex
will be placed away back in the
background. along with that OF eat
ing and attending to the other phys
ical functions. Entirely too much
prominence has been given to these
merely physical propensities. They
now go the rear as woman comes tc
the front with her inspiration, faith
purity and devotion to the doctrines
of the Nazarene. Glorious age
Blessed dawning of the millennium
that shall not be confined to thou
sand years, nor limited at all by
time, nor hampered by the dlstlnc
ton which is marked by difference
of the organs of procreation! Its
law shall be pure love and its bul
warks unity and equality.

| church. For this, as his pastor, am
profoundly sorry, and it is the only
sting that fingers in the hearts of those
OF us who knew him best and loved him
most In his church work. He was,
however,a "a child Of the covenant. He was
thorough believer. and he was pre-
eminently Presbyterian and a strong
defender of the truth as held and pro.
NOTED by the church in which he was
reared and to which he gave his sup
port. He hated shams and all hollow
pretenses of religion. With all such he
had no patience. His ideals Of what
was required of man making a public
profession were high indeed.
DR.. Carson concluded with an appeal
applicable to the occasion for all to take
Christ as their ideal. so to live and walk
that the great concession of life NAV be
attained, heavenly immortality of the
soul.
The pastor referred to the presence of
Judge Flandrau. whose intimacy with.
appropriate that his words of friendship
be spoken.

| by the supreme court.
Under this decision elevator owners
will be compelled to receive grain
brought to them, whether they desire
to or not, insure it and charge for stor-
age or elevaung as fixed by the state.
Justices Brewer, Jackson and White
dissented from this decision. Justice
Brewer characterizng it as contrary to
law and common sense, and declaring
that there was no similarity between
this case and the Chicago elevator
cases decided some time ago, and in
which the eleyatormen were worsted.
Justice Brewer contended that the
evidence showed that only on light
grain years did Brass receive grain from
others, and that this did not make him
public warehousekeeper. During the
year in question Brass needed all the
capacity of his elevator for his private
purposes, so that the state was attempt-
ing to force him TO do public business.
Justice Brewer dissented also because
the law compelled elevatorkeeperS to
insure the grain taken in charge by
them.

IMPORTANT TAX CASES.
Two Decisions by the Highess
Court OF Great Interest.

WASHINGTON, May l4.-The case of
the Mobile II Ohio railway and the
Farmers Loan and Trust company
against the state of Tennessee. and sew
eral counties thereof, was decided by
the supreme court today. Justice Jack
son delivered the opinion. The ques-
ton involved the right of the legis-
lature to amend the charter of the COM
pany, which exempted the capital stock
forever from taxation, exempted the
road and fixtures for twenty-five years,
and provided that there should be no
taxation which would reduce the divi-ss
dends below s per cent. On the other
hand the state constitution provides that
all property shall be taxed according to
its value, and the taxation be equal
throughout the state. In February,
1891. suits were brought against the
company for the collection Of taxes
from 1885 to lSS9. inclusive. The
decision held that the case hinged
upon the S per cent per
ton of the charter referred to. The
manifest intention was to interest per
sons i'll the railroad by giving it unusual
advantages. Justice jackson held that
the state had the power to levy dlscrin!-
mating, eXempting taxation when lt
granted charters. Corporate charters
were merely contracts bstween the state
aud the corporation. Chief Justice
Fuller disscnted from this opinion, op-
posing the doctrine of a right to diScrim-
mate in favor of individual corpora
:ions in The matter of taxation in grant
ing charters. With the chief justice in
his dissenting opinion. which stood by
the supreme court of Tennessee, were
Justices Gray. Brewer aud Shiras. So
that the lower court was reversed
by bare majority. Taxes ag-
gregatng about s$59,0J0 are in
volved in The decision. TIE case of
Ashley versus Ryan, secretary of state
of Ohio, was decided in an opinion de-
liyered by Justice White. 1t involved
a question of taxation of great impor-
tance. Under the law of Ohio, the stock
of corporations is taxed One-tenth of
per cent. Several branches OF the Wa
bash railroad. in several states, which
have been involved in litigation, had been
consolidated. The officers fled articles
of the consolidated incorporation in tie
Office of the secretary of state. rendering
800. which would have been the tax on
the Ohio branches of the corporation,
but the secretary compelled the payment
OF S52, 1000, tax on all the branches OF
the consolidated corporation. This the
company cOntended was state tax on
corporations outside OF the state. The
court held that the right of a company
to be a consolidated corporation rested
within the will of the state: that the
railroad, in profferlng the articles OF
Incorporation and tax, was voluntarily
placing itself within the jurisdiction OF
the law, and sustained the state courts
decision.

and atfectionate comradeShip enjoyed
by all who knew Judge Wilkin. He
commenced by saying:
In "a Samuel. Sd chapter. 3Sth verse,
David says the following of one whose
life had not been perfect: know We
that prince-a great man has fallen in

that such an one has fallen in st. Paul,

Sioux FALLS, 5. D., May 14.-This

each for defamation of character. Mrs.
Kilkeily arrived here four weeks ago
from New York. and. being an ardent
Catholic, secured quarters at the acad-
envy, where the sisters are running
private school. Last Thursday she left
the school and began circulating reports
TO the effect that the sisters were trying
to murder her. and that they had
a bottle of poison fixed up for
that purpose. She also charged them
with being immoral, and circulated
some very scandalOuS charges. She ad-
dressed each of the sisters letter con-
tanning all kinds OF vile charges, and
then went to Sioux City. She had cir
culated the stories so freely that they
we're the talk of the congregation at
church on Sunday. and as there is
something of war between the priests
and the sisters 1t caused more gossip.
Mrs. Kilkelly returned today, and she
was at once served with the papers. Shs
gave it out when she came here that she
was intending to write I'D the divorce
