A RECENT EXPERIMENT IN wOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE.

The first taxpayers election a
which women were allowed to vote
was held in Newburgh, New York
on April 2Sth last. The city con,
taius over 10000 people. The
election was held 10 determine
whether the sum of S6S,000 should
be spent on new court house
1t was charged that there was
"boodle" in the matter, and sew
eral of the papers bitterly opposed
the appropriation.
The women taxpayers took the
matter up. The first voter was the
wife of one of the richest manufac-
turers of the place. One woman dis
covered that her name had been
accidentally omitted from the lists.
She said she would make up for it,
and brought in six women votes.
A bank director suggested to one
lady voter that she fold up her
ballot so that it could not be seen.
She replied: anyone may see just
how vote" At one time twenty
three ladies were in line waiting
their turn to vote. One lady
brought forty women in her own
carriage to the polls. Men were
surprised at the number and char
acter Of the women who voted.
Wives of leading lawyers, minis
tiers and merchants came alone or
with their husbands. About the
polls it was quiet at all times.
Some women who did not vote,
through fear of trouble, regretted
that they had not done so. The
" Doodle" project was defeated by
a large majority, and 80 per cent.
of the women voted against it. The
newspapers of the city express great
pleasure in the aid given to reform
by their first experiment in wo-
mans suffrage.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-01
THE FREEDOM OF THE FLOOR.

The proposition to extend to
Minister Thurston the freedom Of
the floor and of debate in the Con-
stitutional Convention, led to a
very warm debate in that body yes.
terday, with the result that the
proposition was rejected by large
vote.
The discussion Throughout brought
out a high appreciation of Mr..
Thurston's character and services
to the annexation cause, and all of
the speakers stated that they would
have been glad to see Mr.. Thurs
ton on the floor of the Convention.
They felt, however, that the man
ner of introducing him into the
body would be of doubtful pro-
priety, and would lead to a great
deal of criticism.
We do not think that there
would have been any actual impro-
priety in extending to Mr.. Thurs
ton the freedom of the floor and of
debate. The first, at least.
would not have been unusual
but We do not understand that to
permit an outsider to take part
freely in discussion is usual. Pro.
badly the best course under the
circumstances will be that suggest
ed by some OF the speakers, to re-
quest Mr.. Thurston's presence in
Committee of the Whole, whenever
the Convention feels that his coun-
sells and assistance would be of
more than ordinary value.
In Mr.. Thu-ston's absence from
the Convention, the loss is of
course, not his but the country's.
He is man Of clear cut, persistent
convictions, large experience, and
high moral purpose, and these
qualities would prove as service
able to the nation in the coming
weeks as they have during pas.
years. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that circumstances do not afford
at this moment the fullest scope
for their exercise.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-01
ALOHA,

1t is with sincere regret that we
shall chronicle the departure from
Hawaii of Walter G. Smith. As
editor of the Hawaiian Star, he has
done good and faithful service for
the annexation cause, in crises
when such service was the one
thing needful, and it is only fair
that the reality and value of his
work should be cordially recognized
and acknowledged.
We have had occasion to differ
from Mr.. Smith on several matters
Of public policy, but such differ
ences have never led US to doubt
his genuine sympathy with the
cause which he had so enthusiast
tically espoused. We hope and
believe that he will lose no oppor-
tunity to speak a good word on its
behalf in the United States.

UNNECESSARILY INPoLITE.

The conduct of the British Min
lister in declining, without explana-
ton, the invitation of the Govern
ment to attend the opening of the
Constitutional Convention is most
extraordinary, aud cannot be re-
gsrded otherwise than as an act of
pointed discourtesy to this Govern
ment. Coming as it does immedi-
ately after the honors paid by Ha-
waii to the sovereign of England
it seems in particularly bad taste.
We think that the Government
would be fully justified in demand
ing Mr.. Warehouses; recall, for if
he, after this conduct, is q persona
grsta, it can only be because the
Government to which he is accred-
tied is very easily pleased.

CORRESPONDENCE.
A Kick" on the Money Order
Office.

Mr.. EDITOR: With your per-
mission, l would like to ask the
Postmaster-General if the Money
Order Department is run simply to
give a position to a clerk, or is it
run for the benefit of the public?
The Mariposa arrived Wednesday
at 10 a. M, and left Thursday at
II o'clock m, and as Wednesday
was Decoration Day we hardly ex-
pected Government offices to stay
open all day, but We did certainly
expect them to open up the next
morning IN time to do little bust
ness before the steamer left. 1t is
certainly a shame that this Govern
ment will allow the regular steamer
to lay here twenty-six hours and
the public not have an opportunity
to get postoffice money order.
If the other clerks in the Post
office department can open up at Z
o'clock a. N. to accommodate the
dear public, why should not the
money order clerk do the same.
and not open his window at 8
o'clock and then say there is not
time enough to issue money Or
ders before the steamer leaves.
Let Government offices be run
for the benefit of the public, who
pay the expenses. Open all de-
partments at Z o'clock on steamer
days.
Postmaster-General Oats excuse
for all this is that I'VE have two
weeks between steamers to get
money orders, and that they
should not be disturbed on
steamer days before 9 o'clock in
tine morning, and then it is too
late" F. w. McCHEsSEY.
