WoMAN,s RIGHTS.

1t is characteristic Of most of the
legislation looking to an extension
Of the rights and privileges of wom-
plane that it takes for granted, as
kind of foundation upon which
to build the statutory measure of
relief, that woman is the weaker
vessel, and that nothing save the
laws enacted by men for her pro-
lection place or hold her above the
position accorded her in the less
age of consent bill, for instance, as
sumes that she is positively help
less, utterly irresponsible and nat
urally prone to evil until she reaches
the mature age of eighteen years,
and that all she needs to make her
less than woman is word Of
temptation from man. The divorce
laws of a majority of states are
constructed on the same general
theory that the only thing a woman
can make is a mistake, and the only
thing she cannot avoid is trouble.
And the strange part of it all is
that the female advocates of wom-
ans rights, in the sense in which
that term is generally accepted,
seem to be perfectly willing to ac-
cept this view and encourage Iegis-
lation which is based upon the as
sumption Of woman's inferiority in
mental and moral attributes. 1t is the
woman's rights agitator who de-
clares that girl is not able to pro-
tect her own virtue until she is
eighteen years of age; that divorce
laws must be drawn on the theory
that women are not capable of de-
Tending their marital rights, and
that, as general proposition, won-
an occupies an intellectual position
about midway between intelligence
and imbecility
The women of this age. except the
professional agitators, are fully as
capable OF protecting their rights,
tpelr privileges and their persons as
are most men. Without losing anv
OF the charm offemininity, they have
acquired many. of the masculine hab-
It's of thought, and some of the mas
cul1ne habits of physical exercise.
The woman of today who needs anv
special protection at the hands of
the law is a rare exception, and
when found she is usually one who
has been dwarfed in. her intellectual
growth and development by the very
ideas which are embodied in the
average petition to the legislature
asking for some woman's rights bill.
Inc young woman of today, who
grows up to realize that she has
every right and nearly every privi-
lege that her male associate has

HAD A HOT TIME.
Court House Commissioners Ac-

Court House commissioners Ac-
cept De Laittre's Resignation.
A time such as the combatively in
clined love to read about was had by
the court house and city hall commits
sioners yesterday. Not that the com>
missioners fell out among them
Selves-they were like kittens in bas-
ket-but to one of their number, omin-
ously conspicuous by his absence, was
administered heroic trea tment. in
short, John De Laittre, who is at outs
with the commission on the subject Of
elevators, that is, electric elevators,
wrote shap letter to his colleagues,
and they in turn, through Commits
sioner Erickson, roasted him to a turn
as brown as brown can be.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after 2 o'clock, and it was evil
dent that the commissioners expected
fun and meant business from the start
The reading of the minutes, the treas
urer'S report and a communication
from the architects fell on ears that
did not hear. They were waiting for
the door of the big show to open, and
had not long to wait. About fifteen
minutes after o'clock, Secretary
Preston was called from the room,
The commissioners passed the wink
around and smiled grimly. The secre-
tary returned in a moment bearing a
commissioning document which
he quietly informed President john
son was from MIR. De Laittre'
The secretary may read Mr.. De
Laittre's communication, said the
president, calmly. Then, while lex
pectation mute gaped round the silent
circle" the secretary read Mr.. De
Laittre's roast upon certain kinds OF
elevators. Mr.. Erickson said the
venom in the report was meant for
him, and he roasted Mr.. De Laittre
right back.
Mr. Erickson ,immedia tely moved
that the resignation Of John De Laittre
from the workmanship of the con-
struction committee be accepted, and
nothing else be placed on the rec
ord except the bare fact that he had
resigned from the committee
There We're no remarks, and when
the president put the vote, every COM
missioner voted AYE" Mr. Erickson
smiled triumphantly, and made way
Tor the council committee.

than the mere finding of the fact that
a murder had been committed at the
place where he said it occurred, and
that, if 1T is found that he or any other
witness is lying, in the opinion of the
jury, it be declared right to reject all the
testimony of such witness or witnesses,
except where it is corroborated by
other credible testimony
The defense will ask that the Jury
be charged that an adequate motive
must be established, and that if the
fraud alleged to have been perpetrated
in connection with the notes is con-
sidered by the jury as a necessary link
in the establishment of the motive,
then the jury be charged that the
fraud must be proven by a preponder-
ance of evidence, which, it claims, can
not be done, as the sole testimony of
fraud is that of Blixt
The defense will also ask that Adry's
ill-will be given due weight in the
charge and in the consideration of the
testimony.
The state will ask that the Jury be
clearly charged upon the value of the
correborative testimony, both direct
and circumstantial, and that the tes-
timony of accomplices be given at least
as fair consideration as that of the
principal, and that due weight be given
in the consideration of all the testi-
mony to the circumstances under
which the several witnesses testified.

And softly kiss her swan-white throat.
And breathe my love through every

When Ger my strings her fingers fair

The while her flashing brow did press.

Then would 1 waken into song
Inc rapture that had slumbered long.
Mine ear against her swelling breast
Should hearken to it's sweet unrest.
And-happy. spyi-then should 1 know
How, deep beneath that drifted snow
A blissful tumult in her heart
Made all her ffuttering pulses start.

That meekly proud and peerless face.

The anxious lovers dazzled sight.

CITY LAID IN ASHES.
PORT OF SRAIN, TRINID AID, ALL
MOST WIPED OUT.
LOSS WAS FOUR MILLIONS.
Sailors From United States and
British Men-Of-War Fight
the Flames.


NEW YORK, March Ga special
dispatch from Port of Spain, Trini-
dad, to morning paper. says:
This city has missed almost total
destruction by fire. The loss will
amount to nearly S4,000,000, the
chief business section having been
the center of the conf1agration.
Nearly 10000 people would have been
homeless if it had not been for the
assistance given by the U. S. North
Atlantic squadron and II. M. S. Buz-
card in extinguishing the flames.
Soon after the fire got Roadway in
the town Rear Admiral Meade sig
nailed from the Newark to the Ra-
leigh and the Cincinnati to land as
many men as could be spared, and
simultaneously the f1agship's boats
went into the water. There was
lively rivalry among the men from
each ship to reach the fire first, and
especially as the English cruiser
Buzzard, having a nearer anchorage,
also beStirred herself to land
party.
From the United States vessels more
than $50 men We're sent ashore, while
the Buzzard landed about fifty. Each
boats crew were supplied with fire
buckets, axes and ropes, and the plan
of action was quickly laid down and
carried out. To extinguish the build
ings already burning or in close prox-
unity to the flames was impossible,
and all efforts were concentrated on
tearing down the buildings around The
main conf1agration and wetting every
thing upon which burning fragments
might fall.
Organized fighting of the flames had
good effect, and the advance of the
fire was checked at last, though not
until the sailors, as well as the towns
people, we're thoroughly exhausted.
Several of the American seamen had
narrow escapes. Everything is in
confusion, and it will take several days
to determine whether there was any
loss of life among the citizens. The
blow to the city is overwhelming, and
it will be years before it RECEIVERS.

BORROWING DEMOCRATIC LIy-
cry

There is no particular apprehen-
sion that the bill introduced in the
house by Mr.. Johns and in the SEN
ate by Mr. Stevens, the purpose of
which is to cut short the term of
the city attorney, will pass in time to
affect the official who will be elected
by the council next Tuesday, ex-
cept as it shortens his term of office
about ten months. The Democratic
doctrine of electing officials by di-
rect vote of the people seems to
have been invoked in this case by
our Republican representatives be-
cause it can be adopted by them
without entailing any party loss.
The present incumbent is Repub-
Hcan, and if it were possible to pass
the Johns bill and have it become a
law before the election of next
Tuesday the result would be to give
Mr.. Chamberlain about fourteen
months more of life as a public official
than he was entitled to under the
terms of his election by the council.
If the bill becomes a law after the
Democrat is installed, then it de-
priveS that official of about ten
months service to which he would
be entitled under the present law, as
instead of serving two years his
term would expire at the time OF
the election in the spring of 1885,
1t is not improbable, therefore, that
the Republicans in the legislature
will favor the idea of election by
direct vote, since they have all to
give and nothing to lose by it.
Democrats, however, are not I'M
conscious of the bushwhacking tao
tics that are being pursued with the
hope of pushing the bill to enact
ment in time to extend the term of
the present incumbent. Were it not
for the fact that many other attor-
neys would be similarly affected
there would be little reason to doubt
that the Ramsey county politicians
could effect their purpose, but it is
not likely that the whole state is
going to surrender it's rights at the
behest of half-dozen aspiring st
Paul wirepullers
1t is a remarkable condition of
affa1rs when st. Paul has to appeal
to the sense of fair play and justice
OF outside members to protect them
from the Vaccinations of it's own
representatives in the legislature,
but that is just the condition which
obtains today. The same devotion
and energy which have been ap-
piled to this would, if directed in the
proper channels, have had a very
desirable effect on capital legisla-
tion

Attorneys Have Prepared their
Requests.

Requests.
This morning Mr. Erwin will begin

1t will occupy all of today and run well

the close of Mr.. Erwin's address. even
if the latter should come late in the
afternoon.
the respective attorneys have pre-
pared their requests for the charge. and
the judge has them under advisement.

very explicit charge as to the burden

/ cution, and the definition of the testi-
mohy necessary to establish a reason

which is incompatible of itself with the
| theory of innocence. The facts. it will
ask to be charged, must not only be
cor1ipati ble with the story of guilt. but
Incompatible with any theory of in
inocence. These are, of course, the
general features of all charges in sim
liar cases. The defense will further
ask that the jury will be charged to
consider the possible promises of i'm
immunity made to Adry and Blixt, in
weighing their testimony, while the
state will undoubtedly ask to have the
charge explicit in that the promise of
immunity is not proven, and that, even
If it were, it need not annul the testi-
mony of those promised immunity.
The defense will also ask that the Jury
be charged that in case any of them
finds that he can not be reconcilcd in
his own mind to the verdict OF guilt
or innocence, he shall not surrender
his individual belief for the conven-
fence of the jury.
1t will be asked, too, that the story
of the defendant be given as fair con-
sideration as any other witness, taking
into effect the circumstances under
which they are given.
1t will ask also that the jury be
charged that the story of Blixt as to
the killing be corroborated by more
