BOSTON ON TIE BALLOT.

Female suffrage if il comes at all will
come AT the hands of woman. Not un-
til a decided and untrammeled ma
jority Of the women themselves shall
demand the ballot viii such a new duty
with its responsibilities be forced upon
them
The question of woman suffrage is TO
be voted on in Massachusetts in the
coming election. and the women them
selves are 10 have a voice in the mat
ter. The women of that state already
have right 10 vote for school COM
mittees, and the act submitting the
question of municipal suffrage TO a
popular vote provides that all entitled
10 vote in such elections may express
their opinions, yes or no, on the pend
ing proposition 1t is furthermore pro-
vided that the ballots of the women
voters shall be kept separate from the
others. SO that the election will be a
pretty fair test as to how the women
of Massachusetts are themselves af-
fected toward the question of woman
suffrage The women suffragiSts have
a strong array of talent on their side.
including such men as Senator Hoar,
Ex-Governor Long and Minot J. Saw
age, and such women as Julia Ward
Howe, Mary A. LivermDre and Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps. If the number of
female voters in school elections be
any test, the women of Massachusetts
are not wildly enthusiastic for the
right of suffrage The largest female
vote ever polled in the state was about
10000, though the number has been
steadily growing year by year. The
best opinion seems to be that the wo-
man suffrage cause will not be ad-
yanced by the result of the election;
9nd if the women themselves should
declare against it, either by vote or by
abstaining from voting, it will be
serious setback for "Who would be
free themselves must strike the blow"

THE HuMoP1sT,s LAMENT.

Quixotic is his enterprise, and hopeless his
adventure is.
Who seeks for jocularities that haven'r
yet been said.
The world has joked necessarily for over
fifty centuries.
And every joke that's possible had long
ago been made
L started as humorist with lots of men,
tai fzz,ness.
But Humor is a drug which it's the
fashion TO abuse:
For my stock in trade. my fixtures, and
the good will OF the business.
No reasonable offer am likely to re-
fuse.
And II anybody choose
He may circulate the news
That no reasonable offer I am likely TO
refuse.
o, happy was the humorist; the first that
made pun az all.
Who. when joke occurred to him. how

Which offers slight employment to the

That the mine of POPULARITY is utterly

BISHOP BOTKIN.

A new church is to be organized, our
dispatches tell us, with Prohibition as
ats chief tenet and cornerstone.
Whether the church is to claim TO be
a Christian church or a political church
is not stated. 1t is hoped that it will
be Christian and that it may take Pro-
hibition out of politics. However,
Christ at his first appearance in his
ministerial life turned water into wine,
and then again in the most solemn
hour of His life instituted memorial
of Himself and chose wine and bread
as the symbols of His life and body.
Still the Prohibttionists are equal to
anything. ''Prohibi tbn's is a Law term
of les4 81 ghiAcarce as applied to tenn
perance: it means force not persuasion
or enlightenment, and how a church in
a CHRISTIAN sense, or in any sense save
that of an inquisitorial one can be
founded upon it passes our comprehen-
sion. Jerry Botkin ought to be It's first
bishop.

WE CAN'T SEE II.

Senator Sherman in his MaSSiAon,
Ohio, speech, takes Cleveland and Car
Isle to task for fooling with the ma
tional finances, and more particularly
for sbnosing to retire the S345, 100000
or greenbacks which are in circulation
par and for which the S10o,000,00O
gold reserve is maintained. That the
cutting of the volume of currency by
S345, 100000, on which no interest is
paid, except the loss in the way Of in
tereSt on the boarded 500, OO0, 900
would prove a serious matter there is
10 doubt, but if that circulation is only
to be kept UP by the sale of gold bear
ing bonds in blocks of fifty millions at
a time it makes heap Of sugar for
a cent"
Carlisle and Cleveland would have
done wiser thing for the credit of the
country had they sold the bonds to
meet the deficiencies and left the gold
reserve untouched. As it is the ap-
pearance is a perpetual raid upon the
reserve. 1t was the reducing of the
reserve below the limit which shook
confidence.
However il the retirement Of the
S345. 100000 of greenbackS, thereby
taking the government "out Of the
banking business" should result in an
enforced RECOMMENDATION of silver it
might prove good thing for the coun-
try, conceding that the greenback must
be taken up by interest bearing bonds.

AN UNBIASED OPINION.

In IT'S rejoinder to an editorial reply
of the Eagle the esteemed Lawrence
Journal consents that Wichita must be
made 10 obey 1.-The law" without ref
erence TO the fact that al the other
leading cities of the state pay no heed
to its provisions. We guess the Jour-
nal is right. Wichita should be forced
to obey 1.-The law whatever Leaven-
worth, Atchison, Kansas City or Law
renee may choose TO do in the premises.
Some town must be made an example
of and why not Wichita, so long as
its people seem the least hypocritical.
The bars cannot all be thrown down,
besides the administration must have
some instance of its convictions and
vigor. some example 20 refer CD. The
Journal in its advice 10 This people
says: Believe as you please, but don [
attempt to do as the other communities
of the state or you will find yourselves
suddenly brought up standing by the
attorney general. Wichita has no
right to advocate the notification Of
1.-The law" simply because all the other
towns ignore it. Believe as You
please" says the Journal, but do not
dare to act Because Wichita does
not believe in the law, or because her
people know that no other city in the
state pays any attention to il, is no
reason why Wichita should refuse to
obey it, or in refusing, why she should
not be brought to her senses. Sure
enough; of course not. How wise and
consistent all this is; how unreason-
able the people of Wichita in expect
ing or even desiring an equal show.
