MRS. DleGs, GREAT SCHEME.
The Question Is, However. VIII It Pan Out?

 The Question Is, However, VIII It Pan Out?
 Is full and complete woman suffrage to be ruthlessly forced upon us?
 It would seem so, judging from the action of Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Kan sas. She has planned colony in Colo rado, which she proposes to populate largely with Kansas women, giving as 8 reason for the change that Colorado accerds women fuller suffrage than Kansas. She is enthusiastic over her project and expects to make an extraor dinary shortage of women in Kansas.
 Then what will be the result? It is that which interests us. What will Kansas do? Why, give women more power than Colorado, of course, to entice them back What else can she do? And when this migratory spirit takes posses sion of other women, what will follow? Shall we not see them docking to the state that gives them the most liberty! Shall we not have to throw down all barriers and accord them every privilege to keep them? How can state prosper without women? Think of Illinois as a state of bachelors Would not the men fall over themselves in their anxiety to offer inducements to the women to re- turn? Would not other states do the same if suddenly abandoned by the women?
 Great is the scheme of Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Kansas She will lead the women to yictory-if they will follow her. Chicago Post.

LAB0R-SAVING MACHINERY.

An exchange says: Within the last ten years labor-saving maehin- cry has retired a great many labor CTS. Statistics just published for Europe show that the number of carpenters has been reduced 10 per cent; button-hole makers, 20 per cent; shirtmakers B per cent, ba- kers and confectioners, 20 per cent. ]; cabinet makers, B per cent; type settlers, Al per cent; type founders, 50 per cent; silk band weavers, 4o per cent, and wood cutters, 42 per cent. within that time" Yet, with all this displacement by improved machinery, labor is as much in de- mand as it ever was. As ciYiliza- ton advances wants are multiplied and new industries are continually opened up to supply them. Every invention, patent and improvement calls for labor to develop it. The bicycle industry, employing thou sands of skilled mechanics, is a specimen of the new markets that invention is continually opening to labor.
 And it is also worthy of notice that labor-saving machinery has not decreased wages. Only recently wages have been increased in the various manufacturing enterprises throughout the country, and there is no material difference between prices of labor now and ten years ago. Labor-saving machinery, there fore, is only a blessing to the wage earner, for while it lessens the price of production aud the price of all commodities he purchases, it does not interfere with his finding em- ployment or with his salary. Con- sequently he now lives an easier life and has such conyeniences and lux uries that only a century ago the wealthiest could afford.

Fruit Ripened Under Electric Light.

By lighting his hothouses at night with electric lights of 5000 candle power, all told, Dr. Werner von Siemens ripens raspberries in 75 days, grapes in 2k months, etc. The expression in season" may soon lose significance i'll this connection. since by the application of electricity fruits and vegetables can be had at any time of the year. The fruits thus produced are remarkable for brilliant color and fine aroma, but are not as sweet as those ripened by the sun.

TALK OF A PRESS CLUB

Revival Of . Tel. City Organization Seems
Probable.
After the jubilee at the Rock ISL
and house last evening over the re-
turn Of Commits .ioner Medill and the
location of the Western Insane hos
pital at Rock Island, a number of
tri-city newspaper men dropped into
The ARGUS Office and the: subject of q
tri-city press club came up incidental
to a general discussion of the friend
y spirit that should prevail among
all interested in the promotion Of
the common interests of the tri-
cities. Whileit was not deemed pru-
dent to take action until all the pa
pers were consulted, the feeling of
those present representing the ma
jority Of the papers was unanimous
~ in favor of the revival of the sub.
ject which has often been talked of in
the past with more or less favor.
Let the Tri-City Press club be
formed. say we. all of us.
