POLITICAL NOTES.

A curious feature of the little town elections
in the Nutmeg State was the small vote cast
by women. No one is quite able to reconcile
the meagerness of the result with the grand
and gorgeous promise given by tho number of
those who registered. All the year women had
been busy getting themselves made voters in
gay little whirlwind of zeal and enthusiasm;
but when election day arrived they just simply
didn't vote. Only now and then woman
went within guBshot OF the polls at the election
this week. Now the men folks of this uyield-
ing and conservative old Common wealth, whose
assent TO the project OF woman suffrage in tho
field of school matters had fairly been wrung
from them, who had actually been to the ex-
pense and pains of providing brand-new and
distinct womsn's ballot-box at all the polling
booths-newly painted, too. aud sticky with
varnish-well, the disgruntled men folks would
like to know just what's to pay that the women
folks wouldn't buckle down to their privilege
and vote.
Senator Gormans friends in Maryland re-
ceved much comfort last week by the accession
of ex-Gov. Jackson, who bad so far stood aloof
on account OF soreness from his treatment by
the German wing of the party.
Elk. Congressman Harter not only wants
Mr.. Cleveland reelected, hut he would have

Pattison Cabinet officials.
A serious effort will be made by the New
York City Republicans this year to elect more
than two Senators and thus secure a voice in
legislation adopted by the state Senate affect
ing the interests of the Republican party in
that city. For several years past the Senatorial
delegation from that city has been exclusively
Democratic, and local Republicans have been
compelled to depend on such chance support as
they could get from upstate Republicans from
Eimira, from Nyack, or Little Falls, as the case
may be. This year, under the new apportion
ment they are certain to have one Senator, and
may, perhaps. get two.
Hon. Hamilton Fish, Speaker of the last
New York Legislature. says there is no doubt
of an immense Republican majority i'll the State,
with the election Of the entire ticket and that
." New York will send to the National Conven-
ton solid and enthusiastic delegation III sup
port of Gov. Morton for the Presidential NOM
inaton. 1t will be for him. not perfunctorily
and for trading purposes, but sincerely and
heartily. The only objection that has ever
been urged against him 10 his age, and that is
by no means a valid argument. He is one of
the live!iest old men in the country, and is
vigorous enough mentally and physically to
make one of the best Presidents that ever in
habited the White House."
Ex-Representative Brookshire thinks that
w. 5. Holman is pretty certain to come back
to Congress. He has lost none of his 0ld-tIme
popularity, and though George w. Cooper and
Jason B. Brown are now in his district. neither
would contest the nomination with him.

with fishes and then with birds and beasts;
finally with man. The first spot on earth to
get cool enough to use was the North Pole.
In the process of time it got too cold, but
there must have been long period when the
polar region was the most comfortable part of
the world.
During this period many eminent gcolo-
gists believe there existed around the North
Pole continent now submerged, and that on
that continent our progenitors were comfort
able in their first home. 1t is known with
entire certainty that the polar region was
once warm enough for tropical vegetation to
grow there. There was light enough, also,
for such egetation-abundant light, indeed,
for all uses and plenty for primeyal man.
Geology tells us that man might have lived
at the North Pole.

to Increase the silver Certificates.

Secretary Carlisle Proposes a scheme
to Increase the silver Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-At the meet
ing Of the house appropriations com
mittee to-day Secretary Carlisle
took part at the request Of Chairman
Savers. The conference was over
the adoption Of policy by which the
secretary hopes 10 put into cir
culatiOn an increased volume OF sill
yer certificates Of small denOmina-
tons in place of treasury notes The
committee decided to strike from the
sundrv civil bill q stipulation that for
several years has been added to the
item providing for printing treasury
notes TO replace those received al
the treasury.
Secretary Carlisle stated that il was
his desire to get more silver GER
tifeates for the small denominations
into the hands of the people. but ex-
planned that other notes occupied the
field and crowded them ont.
Several members Of the committee
led the discussion from the question
at issue into the bvways Of finance.
Once Representative Sibley OF Penn
sylvania asked the secretary what
objection there would be to system
Of redeming notes in gold and silver
al the option OF the secretary u the
treasury instead Of the holder.
If the policy had been inauguated
at the beginning Of resumption, au-
sWered the secretary, 1t would have
worked beneieially and no trouble
would have arisin from it But ny
predecessors have followed the policy
OF redeeming in gold or silver
at the option OF the holders Of the
paper, and any secretary who tried
to change this pOlicy and force silver
on q man who wanted gold, or visa
versa. particularly al such q critical
period as we have been passing
