nIsHop poANr,s SPEECH


At Albany Yesterday--The Bishop Says He
is Sick of the Talk of woman's II ghts-A
National Infilction-He Thinks if She Had
Vote She Might Sell 1t.
Albany, June 6.-The Right Rev. Will
diam Cresweu Doane, Protestant Epis-
copal bishop of Albany presided at the
closing exercises of st. Agnes school
here to-day The institution is main
tained in connection with the Episcopal
cathedral for the education of young
women and has many pupils from out
side the state.
In his address Bishop Doane said:
zone gets sick and tired of the way in
which the talk of womans vocation fills
the air, not merely in the wild vagaries
of its blatant assumptions, but in the
parade and push of its claims for recog-
milton Of what is called its rights. 1
have had occasion to say what wrong
to womanhood these women's rights
would be, and have no desire to recall
word.
1.-THE agitators are really in the mi
nority. Numberless names ON these
modern millenary petitions mean only
ing to persistent pursuit; just as legis-
lative majority votes stand, in not few
Instances, for a mistaken courtesy or
an unmanly cowardice.
"I believe that God will yet save this
state and nation from the aggravated
miseries of an enlarged unqualified suf-
frage, which, in it's universally of male
voters, is our most threatening danger
to-day. But If we are to be visited with
this other infection, as a well-earned
punishment for many national sins,
then / believe that when we have tast-
ed its bitterness we shall be brought
back, perhaps, through anarchy and
revolution, to a democracy which shall
demand for its existence government by
men whom education and actual Amer
icanism of final interest in the nation
qualify to govern.
Meanwhile, when constitutions shall
have been altered, to disturb the equi-
poise of the relation between nam and
woman; when motherhood shall be re-
placed by mannishness; when neglected
homes shall furnish candidates for mis-
managed offices; when money shall buy
the votes Of women, as it does now
themselves; when the fires of political
discord shall be lighted on the hearth
stone Of domestic peaces when the asser-
tion Of demanded right shall have de-
stroyed the instructive chivalry of con-
ceded courtesies; when woman, as has
been well said, once the superior, has
become the equal of man; then the reap
ed whirlwind Of some violent political
reactions will be gathered in tears by
those who are sowing the wind, in the
mad joy of the petroleuse of the French
revolutions.
Never in any age, nowhere in any
land, and nowhere in America, so much
as now in our own empire state, was
there such absolute unreason for the
clamor which seeks to distract women
from the duties of the vocation to which
they are called, in the mad pursuit of
the greatest wrong that can be done
ito their sex, their country and man
kind.
"The man who is set in public place
to-day, to train some of the women of
America for their vocation, may not,
dn times like these, withhold his voice
of warning against the dangers and de-
uusions of the hour"

CHURCH GIRLS GIVE A SHOW.
The General Audience Enjoyed 1t, But
Some Folks Were Surprised.

METUcHEN, N. Y, July ia dozen
fashionable young women, whose fam
lilies make their summer homes here,
concluded some time ago that a negro
minstrel performance for the benefit
of st. Agnes Guild of st. Luke's Ep1s-
copal church would be a good thing
for the guild and furnish some recrea-
ton for themselves. The performance
came off last night in Robins Hall.
The best families in st. Luke's and in
the town were represented.
People were turned away for lack OF
room. The girls were made up by a
professional. The curtain went up on
a semicircle of we'll BACKED perform
ers. The men were in burlesque negro
attire, and the young women wore red
bandannas, basques of calico or ging-
ham, and skirts of wonderful hues that
hung just far enough from the floor to
show pretty ankles encased in hosiery
of lurid stripes.
Pretty soon sensitive people began
to fidget under the jokes. There was
no evidence that the rector of st.
Luke's had exercised a censorship
over the jokes that flew about the cir
Gle.
Then, when three very proper young
women stepped out and did the song
and tamborine dance, there were ex-
clamations of surprise from some of
the more staid ladies of the guild.
The audience as a whole was i'm
mensely tickled and a%pplauded wildly.
The show came to a close with a rat
thing cake walk, in which there was a
lively dance.

I'LL BE DINGEDr SAID EDGAR.
A Rattlesnake Hunter in an Awkward
Predicament.

BATH, N. V, July Sired Edgar,
of Corning, went out on the hills near
that place the other day to hunt rat
tlesnakes. He discovered a fine yell
low one, and clapped a forked stick
over its neck, and running his hand
up along the snakes body to the back
of it's head, grasped the snake around
the neck and started home with it.
Edgar didn't know the size of the job
he had undertaken. The RATHER twist
ed its long body around his arm, and
showed its sharp fangs as it glared at
its captor, who was frightened almost
into fits, but did not dare to release
the deadly snake, fearing that it
would instantly sink its fangs into
him. He got home with the snake at
last, and everybody promptly ran
away, leaving Edgar still handicapped
by the RATHER, which virtually had
possession of him instead of him hay
ing the snake.
After an hours unpleasant guam
Diary Edgar at last hit upon a plan to
get his release from the snake. Still
grasping it by the neck, he managed
to make a slipping moose in a string
with his disengaged hand. This he
slipped over the %rattler's head and
had it shared. He then jerked the
snake out of the hand that had grasp
ed it so long, and it fell on the ground
some distance away. lettering the
snake with the string Edgar got a box
and imprisoned his prize. When he
was asked why he didn't choke the
RATHER to death and end the unpleas-
ant situation at once, "Well, I'll be
dinged!" said he, 81 never thought
of that!" He says 81 1000 in cash
wouldn't tempt him to repeat his per-
Torrance with that or any other rat

Democrats Should Not Fall Ont.

From the Linneus (Mo.) Bulletin.
If our 16 to / brethren wish to hold
a convention we do not see why any
one should oppose them. But if they
wish in that convention to formulate
a platform stating that the Dem
ocracy of Missouri endorses and will
support the 16 to 1 ratio, we object and
shall continue to object as long as we
are Democrats and represent Demo-
Gratis who do not favor the fiat ratio
for coinage of silver. The free trade
element in the Democracy has a bet
ter right to meet and rule all other
elements out of the party than have
our 16 to 1 friends the right to pro-
claim all disloyal to the party who do
not endorse their pet ratio. Free
trade has more than once been en-
dorsed in the National platform of the
party, and 16 to 1 silver never has had
a word of endorsement Dr. encourage
ment from that source; yet, while we
ardently believe in free trade, we
would object to any such untimely ac-
tion in its favor as is now proposed by
the Bland element in the Democratic
party in behalf of 10 to 1 silver.

ENTIRELY UNCALLED FOR.
Mr.. R. H. Cauthorn, of Mexico, Justly
Indignant.

"Silent Observer" in the Vandalia
Leader, commenting on speeches made
at Laddonia at the 18th of July celebra-
ton, referring to one made by R. II.
C%authorn, a prominent citizen and
business man of Mexico, says:
"Mr. Cauthorn seemed to become 80
enthused in denouncing both old par
ties and advocating the Populist doc
trine that we concluded he was wound
up for the balance of the week. Fin
ally, by the earnest solicitation of the
town marshal, he was induced to shut
off steam"
Mr.. Cauthorn, in conversation with
a representative of the LEDGER to-
day, called attention to the above
statement and said: "The town mar
shall was acting as chairman of the
meeting. He invited me to speak, in
troduced me to the audience and no.
titled me when my time was up. / was
treated in a most courteous and gen.
tlemanly manner by the chairman and
by the audience. When my time had

They Are Democrats.

The attempt to make it appear thai
Secretary of State Lesueur, State Au-
ditor J. NJ. Seibert and Atty. Gen. 4
f. Walker are 'gold bugs is toe
iiimsy and silly for any one to pay the
slightest attention to. These gentle
men are thoroughly in accord with the
views of the great majority of theil
party in this State and are for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.-Jef-
ferson City Tribune.
Lesueur, Seibert and Walker are not
'gold bugs or "silver bugs" but
plain, everyday Democrats and just
why the Jefferson City Tribune finds
it necessary to apologize for these
gentlemen is beyond the comprehen-
sion of the Mexico LEDGER. They
are attending to their business and
earning the salary they are draw
ing from the State of Missouri. Other
officers may be calling extra sessions
of the Legislature, writing interviews
and in various or divers other ways
using the time belonging to their con
stituents in advertising themselves or
in trying to force their personal views
on the people, right or wrong, but
Lesueur, Seibert and Walker are
Democratic officials, attending to their
duties honestly and conscientiously.
They are not bosses of, but the SER
wants of the people.

MANY PEOPLE FLOODED OUT.
Five Hundred People in Salina, Kan.
Driven From Their Homes and
Made the Objects of Charity.

SALINA, KAs., July 10.-At ~ O'Clock
last night the Smoky Hill river was
thought to be at a standstill. A fresh
flood came, and at noon to-day it had
risen five inches more and is still ris-
ing.
Five hundred people have been
driven from their homes and have
taken refuge in the school buildings,
being cared for by active citizens.
In the valley of the river scores of
farmers and their families have had tc
fly for their lives and crops have been
destroyed and stock and buildings
washed away. The damage cannot be
estimated till the water recedes.
Yesterday a Swede who lives ten
miles up the river went with his wife
on horseback to an elevated island to
release some cattle. While there a
sudden change in the current sub
merged the island and they only es-
oaPed from being drowned by climb
ing trees. After six hours imprison-
ment they rescued by men in
boats.
Bridges have been washed away in
great numbers and dams and mills
greatly damaged.
