SHALL VOTE?

$3.50
In the December Arena Helen H..
Gardner receives q volume which at
tacks woman suffrage. When We remem-
Der that between three and four million
women in this country are bread
winners and that until they succeed in
obtaining the right of franchise they
cannot stand on an equity with man in
regard to wages. when we remember
that in the states where enjoys
full franchise the statutes known as the
a~ge-of-consent laws have been raised to
the age OF woman's legal majority and
even in those commonwealth where
woman enjoys municipal franchise such
for example as Kansas, the age of con-
sent has also been raised, we can readily
appreciate how important it is that
woman OF the present time should as
sumo her undoubted right Of franchise.
All the bugabOos which have been
raised against oma suffrage have
been effectually dispelled by the prac-
tical working of suffrage where woman
has been granted the right of franchise,
as for instance IN Wyoming, New
leland, Colorado and elsewhere. We
belieye the time has come when woman
should assert herself at the ballot and
| by that assertion aid in bringing about
ethical as well as social and economic
reforms, which are demanded at the
present time.-B. q. Flower in the
Arena.

the 28th annual convention OF the Ma

alton which will assemble IN Washing
ton on Jan. %, 1896. This is expected
to be n Of the largest as we'll as one of
the most representative gatherings OF
political equality advocates ever held
in this country. It is expected that 80
presidents of state societies will be in
attendance, as we'll az q large delegation
from each state. The convention will
meet on Thursday and continue for
nearly a week. On the 28th q hearing
will PROBABLY be had before the senate

PlTTsBURG, March 2O-The combina-
ton of the window glass interests of this
country Is now an assured fact. At a
meeting of manufacturers in this city
the National Association of Window
Glass Manufacturers was formed, which
is designed to regulate the production,
the price of the product and the wages of
the workmen. The capital represented in
the association is estimated at $25 600. OOO
and the aggregate yearly output at from
5000, 0Oc to 100000 boxes. At the meet-
ing there Were l, 400 pets represented, en-
bracing nearly every factory in the
country.

committee that conferred with the New
York and Boston importers had valuable
Information on competition with foreign

formed by the election of the following
officers: +. L. Bodine, Philadelphia,
president; A. L. Conger, Akron, vice
president; 7. II. johnson. Dunkirk, Ind,
secretary; William Loeffler, Pittsburg,

was continued and ut the next meeting,
which will be held here in April, a sub
stantial advance in the price of all grades
of window glass will go into effect.
Solid Front to Labor Unions.
None of the manufacturers would state
the amount of the advance, but they saw
that for the past six months window
glass has been selling at q loss. The as
sociation will gather statistics on produc.
tion, consumption and imports and deal
with its employees on the question of
wages only as an organization. In the
meeting a letter from Belgium was read,
stating that the blowers of that country
would go on a strike on April l. I'm.
mediately after the meeting the Indiana
manufacturers met and advanced the
prices of their product.

Result Of q Cut of One-.ourth of q Cent q
Bushel for Digging.
PoMERoY, O., March 2O-At a mass
meeting here the 80 coal miners in the
Pomeroy district resolved to strike against
the proposed reduction of one-fourth
cent per bushel. They demand cents.
The strike is already in effect.
The strike was unexpected. 1t was the
result of the operators of the Peacock
mine cutting the rate one-fourth cent
from the contract signed May last for one
year, for cents per bushel. AS yet but
three large mines are affected: Peacock,
Minersville and Syracuse, throwing 400
men out of employment, and three salt
works.
The miners declare that all the mines
will close. Committees were appointed
to visit Peacock mine and induce the
miners to come out. The operators held
q meeting last night. Captain Fred Eb-
ershach, superintendent of the Peacock
mines. refused to restore the price. Others
cannot do SO, as all are competitors in the
same market. A general effort is being
made to settle the difficulty without a
prolonged strike. Capv1in Ebershach Is
being harshly criticised by the miners for
preclpitating strike at the best season
for work.

and Judge Chouquete, of Providence,
Mgr. Satolli, the papal ablegate, has is
sued decree temporarily suspending the
edict of Pope Leo relating to Roman
Catholic membership in the knights of
Pythias. The above named gentlemen
went to Washington and represented to
Satolli that one lodge of Pythians in this
city consisted of $50 French Canadians,
and one lodge in Providence included l6o
They said SO far as they were able to OBJ
serve they could sec no conflict between
Pythianism and Roman Catholic doctrines
and were very solicitous for suspension
Of the edict SO they might perform their
Easter duty.
Satolli seemed very much surprised at
the facts presented and was evidently
much impressed with the manner of the
men. He announced that he would sus-
pend the edict temporarily and would
issue formal decree to that effect in a
few days He promised to bring the mat
ter to the attention of tho Vatican at the
earliest moment, but would hold out no
hope that his action would be indorsed as
a permanent policy to be followed.

The Alliance incident was referred to

OF the state department in demanding an
apology and reparation. He declared that
American vessels and merchantmen cam
not be lawfully interfered with upon the

Cuba might be annexed. and said it was

Final Papers Signed for the Combine Of

COLUMBUS, O., March 2o-Final papers
consolidating the entire coal interests Of
all the Ohio operators and coal carrying
roads were finally completed and signed
late yesterday afternoon, thereby ac.
complishing what will prove one of the
greatest factors looking towards the re-
turn Of prosperity to the bituminous coal
interests of Ohio.
The competition has previously been SO
pronounced and demoralizing that the
large consumers, both railroads and man
ufacturcrs, assisted in the above results
by giving the proposition their moral sup
port, and all interests agree that ends
have been attained that will prove of
benefit directly and indirectly to the en-
tire commercial interests of the country.

BY EDGAR T. READ.

As one turns the leaves of a scrap
book and glances down its columns. many
a little poem or bit of prose may be found
that will repay casual perusal and per-
haps call to mind by-gone memories. Not
unlikely it may bring a thought of some
old unhappy, far off thing that viii
carry the reader to DAYS Of childhood and
scenes long past But it must be remem-
bered that the triangle of life has not all
of its sides drawn with the pen of Pathos,
for Humor, attended by the sportive urchin
Wit, presides over a second, while as ruler
of the third is found an odd mixture of JOY
and sorrow, pain and pleasure, love and
hatred Let me, therefore, gentle reader,
take YOU for a short journey through an
old, yet new collection Of poems and point
to a few-not as a critic, but as one who.
when pleased with thing wishes to share
his pleasure My taste may not be your
taste; but bear kindly with me. for after
ii is over and we part company perhaps
the Journey may not have been in vain,
for even from the smallest thing some
pleasure may be derived, if only we are
willing to overlook the faults.
turn a few pages, and before me lies
the face Of Paul Hamilton Hayne-that
sad eountenance, traced by the marks of
sorrow. both of heart and mind Hayne
was one of those poets who worked in pa
thence. and found pleasure, oftimes a
disappointed pleasure, in his humble work.
vet he toiled on, forever hearing
In his soul the music
OfwOnderful melodies
Through nearly all of his poems is vein
of pathos influenced greatly by his terrible
physical sufferings; yet he wrote in spirit
Of heroic resignation that reveals the true
nature Of the man. Here is probably his
best known poem-the sweetest song of
this southern poet
