y Denver, Col, dispatch says that only
q few women voted at the municipal cleo
ton in that city on last Monday-that the
rad OF voting had ceased TO amuse them.
The Colorado legislature. which dissolved
by limitation Monday night. contained
three women who were members of the
House They did not succeed very well
although they are all women of much more
than the average in intellectual ability.
They knew very little of the different
measures that came before the legislature
and didn't seem to have the knack of get
ting a practical understanding of them.
The only bills they introduced and in
which they took special interest, re-
lated 20 moral questions. such as the age
Of consent for boys and girls. a home for
incorrigible girls and kindred questions.
They had very little to do with commit
tee work and did not participate in the de-
bates to any considerable extent. They
did a great deal of protesting, however,
and succeeded in causing the male mem
bers much annoyance They protested
against smoking in the hall against long
debates, against displays of temper in
debate and similar matters.
The opinion is expressed by leading men
Of Colorado that i, will be a long time
before another woman becomes a mem
Der of the legislature Of that state. The
women they say. are losing their inter-
est in the ballot. and the men win never
vote for woman as a legislative candi-
date.
1t IS related that all three of the wo-
men who were members of the legislature
were great gum chewers, and that the
gum chewing practice was about as OBJ
jectionable to the men as the smoking of
the men was to the women. From the re-
ports it Is evident that the Colorado
experiment is not a success.

our MIX supply.

Two communications were published in
the Morning News yesterday relative TO
the milk supply Of this city which shouII
receive the careful consideration Of The
city authorities. Both Of them were based
upon statements Of the health officer.
one OF them called attention TO the results
OF frequent analyses Of milk obtained from
different parts Of the city. ard the other
pointed out that the amount Of milk con-
sumed must be much greater than the
supply OF pure milk. The conclusion to be
drawn from these communications IS that
much adul;erated mir IS supplied to Gus
toners.
This question Of the purity Of our milk
supply ought TO b. Investigated at once.
1t wiz not do to push the matter aside
on the plea that il is too much Of a bother
TO investigate II. II should receive imne-
date attention. II impure or aduiterated
milk is being sold the fact should be
made kaown al once, and steps taken 10
correct the evH. The authorities should
not permit the health OF the people TO be
imperilled nor allow them to be defrauded.
we 90 not know, or course, that either
OF these things is being DONE but the
publications referred to justify a suspi-
cion that there is something wrong with
our milk supply. What is needed is an
instrument, such as is in use in nearly
all Of the larger cites OF the north, for test
ing the milk supplied to the people. That
instrumeht-sho whether or not the milk
is adulterated with water and to what ex-
tent il is aduhcrated. II would not cost
the city a great dealto have the milk sold
in this market tested. while the benefits
which would accrue to the public might be
very great. Children especially, are large
consumers Of milk and the protection Of
their. health is a matter Of the greatest
consideration. The warm season is close
at hand and care should be taken that their
food is in every repect wholesome.

Cabinet Rmmnrs

the summer of cabinet changes. These ri-
mors occur every summer Lacking fresh

upon the cabinet and announce that it is

The cabinet officer who is now receiving
the attention Of the correspondents is Sec
rotary Gresham. They say his wife wants
to return to Illinois, to be with the friends
she has there. Another reason given is
that Mr.. Gresham. although his relations
with the President are extremely pleasant.

policy he decided upon when the firing

HOW Hog Mns Cured.

The Pittsburg Dispatch tells how a
RAILROAD hog" was punished the other
dav. He had piled the space next to him
in a car seat with his bundles, and when
a gentleman asked him il any one was TO
occupy it. he replied. that the bundles
belonged to a man who was temporarily
in the smoking car. AN right" said
the gentleman, Il win sit in, the seat
tin he comes" and he proceeded to rs
move the bundles. Pretty soon the owner
of the bundles arrived at his destination
and he started to gather up his effects.
But the gentleman at once put veto
on this, with the remark: You can't take
these bundles; you yourself said they be-
longed to a man in the smoker" The
fellow got mad and abusive, but the gen.
tleman was memorable Finally the con-
ductor was called in, who delivered his
dictum as follows: If the bundles are
not claimed by any one on the train
then, by coming around to the depot to-
morrow and identifying them satisfac-
torily we will give them to you" The
mans face was as red as fire with rage
and he shook like gelatine, but he could
do nothing. So, amid the laughter of the
passengers, he rushed out of the car to
lump off just as the train was pulling
out from the station. And he meekly
came around to the depot for his bundles
the next day but swore revenge upon the
man who played such practical joke
upon him.

a Gooa seheme 70 Encournge.

To Mayor Pngree of Detroit belongs
the idea Of permitting the poor people of
cities to cultivate the vacant lots i'm veg
etables The cultivation does not hurt
the lots and the benefits arising to those
TO whom the privilege is granted are con-
siderable. The success Of the scheme in
Detroit has led other cities. notably New
York Toledo. ST. Louis. Buffalo Duluth
and Pittsburg to adopt It,
This is what was done i'm Detroit: A
committee was appointed to solicit the
owners Of lots to permit their lots to be
cultivated by poor persons selected by the
committee. Lots sggresating 40 acres
were donated for that purpose.
The committee then gave notice
through the public prints to poor
families to apply for the lots
About 1900 applications were received
Of-course so large number could not be
accommodated. but 1t was determined to
accommodate as many as possible. The
land was plowed and narrowed and staked
off in quarter and half acre lots at the
expense of the city, and 9i5 families were
given plot each. In some instances the
city provided the seed.
The cost to the city was a little less than
$SOoo-about $40 a plot. About four-hfths
of those who took plots proved TO be very
much in earnest and thrifty They kept
the crops they planted well cultivated and
the yield would have been a handsome
return for their labor had It not been
for severe drouth. As it was, however.
the money value of the stuff raised was
about $1,000. Enough potatoes were grown
to give each family more than fifteen
bushels.
This year the results are expected to be
more satisfactory. but the scheme is val
liable in more respects than one For
instance, it has the effect of drawing the
attention of poor people In the cities to
the desira bleness Of life in the country.
and where it IS tried good many poor
people will likely decide to give up the
struggle for existence in town and seek
homes IN the country.
There ere people in this city who, if
they We're so disposed could make a far
better living in raising vegetables and
other crops in this or other nearby coun-
ties, and they would find life of that
kind much more desirable

a prominent politician discussing IN
Washington the other day the question OF
the future o. the Democratic party ex-
pressed the opinion that there would be
two democratic candidates for President
ID 1895. We do not believe that opinion
is worthy Of serious consideration. The
only issue on which the democracy is d.
viied IS that OF silver. but the division is
not greater now than IL has been for
a number Of years. II is true that those
Who favor the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver are making "a good deal Of noise
They are trying 10 create the impression
apparently that the silver faction Is In
control. They pursued pretty much the
same sort OF tactics prior TO the last ma
ticnal democratic convention. They are
not meeting with a great deal OF success,
however.
The fact tina; no candidates for the
Presidential nomination are being dis
GUESSED is not significant Of anything. 1t
only shows that there are not at present
any democratic leader who is pushing his
claim TO the nomination. There will be
plenty OF candidates. however. before
the time for selecting delegates to the
national convention arrives.
Il is known that the President is en-
deavoring to so shape political issues as
to solidify the party and prepare it for a
successful contest IN 1855. That he will
in a great measure succeed there is no
reasonable ground for doubt. It would
he the worst kind of folly for the party
to divide on the silver question or any
other. Neither Of the two factions would
stand the remotest chance for success.
a division would simply make the success
Of the Republican party certain. Where
in. therefore would be tho wisdom Of
each faction putting a Presidential ticket
in the field?
IL viii become apparent q good while
before the national convention meets
that the sound money faction is largely
in the majority. That being the case. a
sound money platform, such as the pres.
ent platform Of the party IS, will be adopt
ed. ana sound money man nominated for
President
There will no doubt be a great many
silverltes who will be dissatisfied and
some Of them may leave the party and
join the papulist party. but the great
majority win stay with the Democratic
paTty. There are republicans. also. who
will likely join the populists. who are
in favor OF the free coinage Of silver. It
is quite certain that the platform Of the
Republican party will be N favor Of sound
money.
The next President win be a sound
money man, and he will be elected upon
a sound money platform, unless public
sentiment in respect to silver undergoes
a radical change before the next national
election Public sentiment now is strong
ly In favor Of sound money. and it ia
likely to become stronger in that direc-
ton as the discussion of the money ques-
ton goes on. The people will pursue the
honest course when they are fully con-
WINGED which the honest course is.
