MUNICIPAL VOTING FOR WOnEN

The St. Paul Dispatch in comment
ing upon Senator Barr's bill to confer
the privilege of voting and holding Of
fee in municipal matters, with certain
educational qualifications, says:
The experiment. of women's voting
and filling certain municipal and
school and county offices is not a new
one in this country or in England. In
Iowa and Nebraska they are also quail
fed to fill certain county offices and
the offices of county superintendent of
schools and recorder of deeds are
favOrite ones. They have also &C
Quired the right to vote at municipal
elections with the peculiar feature at
tached to the right, that separate bal
lot boxes are provided for the recep-
tion of their votes. No u~nfavorable
results have yet followed their sharing
in the franchise, and it is hard to see
haW any can arise. 1t is a fact that
where ladies have discharged the du-
ties of county superintendent, or of
recorder of deeds, the result has been
as satisfactory as if by men. There is
hardly any good reason, however, for
demanding an educational qualifica-
tion from women in connection with
the right to vote. when the same is
not required of any other municipal
voter. The bill, if it ever gets out of
committee. will likely provoke a good
deal of discussion and opposition,
which, with the lateness of the ses-
sion, will most likely defeat it at this
session, unless it's friends are strong
enough to urge it rapidly along the
light OF way.

The municipal elections throughout
the west Tuesday, while Ringing
upon local questions entirely, resulted
in Republican victories with but very
few exceptions. In Chicago the peo-
pie expressed themse Ives a thorough
ly tired of the corrupt rule which the
Democrats had given them and the
Republicans swept the city by 40, 600
plurality. In fact the Republicans
took about everything in sight. When
the people want genuine reform they
always turn to the Republican party
and are seldom disappointed. St.
Louis was another city where there
was a big %upheaval, whereby the
Democrats were scattered and the
Republicans placed in power. And
the great majority of the smaller
cities throughout the north and
northwest where elections were held,
followed suit. The people seem thor
oughly satisfied with the Republican
party, have full confidence in it, and
willing it should have full control of
the affairs ,of government from the
cities and towns up to the nation.

ton for Executive Clemency.
A telephone message from Senator
Barr received Wednesday informs
us that Gov. Clough today pardoned
c.. B. Trowbridge from the states
prison. Trowbridge was sentenced
for forgery some two years ago.
On March 30th, Senator Barr
received a petition to the COVER
nor, praying for the pardon of TroW-
bridge, and signed by Judge Sever
ance, County Attorney Benedict,
Clerk of Court Thorne, eX-
Sheriff Glynn, Sheriff Bowen,
Judge Shissler, many OF
the attorneys and a large number of
business men of Mankato. Senator
Barr interested himself in the mat
ter, and has secured the pardon.
Had T~rowbridge been released on
parole he could not have left the
state, and it is understood that he
had work in the west. He has been
given work in the vicinity OF the fair
grounds Tor the present.. 1t is under
stood that he does not intend to re-
turn to this city. He is an excellent
painter, and could do well at his trade.

600 in round numbers, as compared
with the year 1898. This falling off
appears all the more significant when
it is recalled that there was almost as
great a reduction of their business in
1893. AS this represents, to a certain
extent, the falling off of business in
the entire country, n is enabled to
see how severe has been,the depression
from which the country has suffered
during the past two years.

THE NEW COUNCIL.
1t Will Probably be Called Together
Monday Night.

The present council will hold a
meeting Saturday night to wind up
it's affairs. Nothing new, involving
expenditure of public funds, will be
acted upon, as there is a disposition
to leave the hands of the new council
united in all respects. The present
council found that much work had
been ordered by the previous council,
and realizes the disadvantage of this
and intends to treat it's successor bet
ter than it was treated by it's prede-
cessor..
Mayor Weaver states that he will
probably call the new council together
next Monday night, to organize and
adopt rules. Each council adopts it's
own set of rules and fixes it's night
for meeting. The old time of meet
ing was always Monday night, but
the present council changed it to
Saturday night, to convenience the
mayor, who could be in the city Sat-
urday nights better than Monday
nights.

Sufferers from sick-headache, indi-
gestlon, and biliousness may always
find speedy relief in the Use Of Ayers
Pills. There is no other medicine in
pharmacy which goes so directly 10
the source Of these maladies and brings
about SO thorough and radical a cure.
They cleanse the stomach, liver, and
bowels, and, to a certain extent, purify
the blood of waste products at the
same time, they act as a heBlth-givlng
tonic to all the tissues involved IN the
complex process Of digestion. In this
way, they effectually relieve headache,
nausea, indigestion, biliousness, and
waterbrash, and prevent diarrhoea, or
summer sickness. They are, therefore,
indispensable in seasons when bowel
complaints or malaria prevail, and
should 90 with the tourist To the noun
tains or the seaside. Ayers Pills are
sugar-coated and easy to take. They
quickly dissolve On reaching the stom-
ach, consequently their full medicinal
strength is soon realized. They we're
awarded the highest honors at the Chi
cago Worlds Fair.

The Baptist Female University.

Editor Democrat
Allow me to say that my experience
at Scotland Neck IN pleading the cause
of this enterprise, has been a most
pleasant one. I haye been cordially
welcomed on the streets and in Christ
ian homes, patiently listened to and
substantially encouraged.
When we add to the amount already
contributed, what number of breth-
rem have determined to do this fall, /
believe that Scotland Neck will be IN
the van OF the great army Of workers
who will make our Baptist Female
University in every way worthy OF the
denomination that 1t represents:
Delightfully."- entertained, go away
with happy memories, of this town OF

Oxford and First Honor Men.

Oxford has long ranked as one OF the
leading educational centres OF the State
and now bold challenge is made to
the State in which a scholarship at the
Horner School, worth $3.50, is offered
to any town or city in the State that
has furnished more tlrst-honor gradu-
ates at the University, Davidson, Trim
ity and Wake Forest Colleges, during
the last three years, than Oxford.
Further, the Homer School offers a
scholarship, giving all the college fees
free, at any college in the State to the
scnool that has furnished more honor
men at these colleges than the Horner
School There are cities in the State
with five or ten times the population
of Oxford and schools with four or five
times the number of students OF the
Horner. Can they afford to let the
claim go unchallenged2
The Horner School offers prize OF
$3.50 for the best satisfactory explana-
ton of this pre-eminence on the part
of Oxford, written by boy under Ia
wears of age. The terms and condl-
tons of the contest can be learned by
writing to the Homer SCHOOLGIRLS
