THERE is mourning in the ranks of the
suffragists. There is sdefectiOn among those
OF high grade. Miss Phoebe Couzins has
lost faith. Her enthusiasm has cooled. She
has been known to say that her sex is,
after all, not self-reiiant enough to be
trusted with the ballot; that her sisters have
a weak way OF shrkng responsibility
for mistakes and falling back on the sex IN
general. Until they have learned to shoul-
der individual errors Miss Couzins feels
that the suffrage would only suffer in their
hands.

Patti. in her palmiest days, it is believed,
never drew larger or finer audience in

last night.
The triumph and height of the Italian
opera season was reached and sustained In
a blaze of fashion and beauty that alone
were worth witnessing.
The scene in the theater was one to de-
light the senses. Beautiful women, bud
ding, like lilies, from the most gorgeous
apparel, met the eye in every direction.
Men OF national and interna tfonal renOwI
in immaculate evening attire were In ev-

Plancon. Jean and EdOuard de Reszke.
They have probably never before received
such unstinted and continual applause and
such a wealth of flowers as were show
cred upon them last night.
1t is a pleasure of a lifetime to sit with
in the radius of such n assembla &c OF artists
as was lavished on the cast of last night.
The greatest soprano in the world, the
greatesttenor ,thetwO greatest ba ssos- that
was the nu cieus of a cast in which even the
least was a brilliant out of the shadow OF
the leaders. The temptation was appre-

Republican Chances In Missouri.

The Democrats of Missouri have
their ticket, apparent
ly, upon ontheassumption that they arc
certain of victory under any circum-
stances, and that it is not necessary
for them to present candidates who
will add strength to their party.
Taken all in all, it is certainly the
weakest ticket that they have ever
nominated. 1t does not include
the name of Il single man who has
any claim udon the people by
reason of conspicuous public service
or recognized personal ability.
The candidates are respectihle. but
they represent nothing ina political
sense. They seem to have been
selected not SO much with view
to presenting men of superior merit
us for the purpose cf emphasizing
the right Of mediocrily to run for
office. \ comparison between them
and their Republican competitors;
is decidedly to their Disadvantage.
No good reason can be given why
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1896-08-12

the people of great State like
Missouri should deliberately choose
such men to manage their affairs
when they have the opportunity to
do better. Their interests are sure
" of sufficient Importance to Justify
them in refusing to take the chances
of official shortcomings that would
be involved in the election of a
ticket that has 50 little to recon-
mend it to their approval and conf
dence.
When to the weakness of the
ticket is added the scandal and
peril of the doctrine and purposes
for which it stands. there does not
seem to be any reason for doubling
that it will be defeated. The gen
eral conditions are such that its
most sanguinc supporters must
recognize the improbability of its
success. There arc forces arrayed
against it that it can not be expect
ed to overcome. 1t will get no
votes from the Populists: there are
no Republicans who will support it.:
the sound money Democrats will
have nothing to do with it. In the
nature of things, then, its prospects
are manifestly very poor, and the
chances Of Republican victory are
infinitely better than they have
been for many years. The time
has come at last when the hope Of
redceming Missouri from the evil
influences that have retarded her
prosperity and injured her reputa-
ton can be realized if all good citi-
zens will labor zcalously to bring
about that bemficent result. There
is unquestionably an anti-Demo-
cratic majority in the State, and
the present makes it reasonably
certain that this controlling vote
can be polled in such 4 way as to
insure Il substantial triumph. The
opportunity carries with it the
obligation to improve it by active
and determined service; and the
people will have themselves to
blame if they do not secure a
change that is demanded for the
promotion of their welfare and the
introduction of better methods and
tendencies of government.

Forward or Backward. Which?

SHALL the American people pro-
gress or retrograde! This is the
question which shall be decided ut
the coming national election. The
enlightened nations of the world
are seeking a universal standard Of
measuring values, and as gold is the
money metal least given to tluctu-
alton in value, the United States,
England, France and Germany,
the nations in which human intelli-
gence and civilization has reached
its highest plane, have adopted this
standard of measurement. Other
countries of less Importance have
dropped into line from time to
time and more are sure to follow.
international commercial relations
have been greatly facilitated by this
method, and in this day when all
the nations Of the world are drawn
into daily and almost hourly inter
course, common sense ought tU
teach Us the value oI the universal
standard.
Now what does the Democratic
party ask: 1t asks the people OF
the United States to stop and &c
backward. 1t demands that they
shall make silver their standard OF
measuring values, regardless OF
whatever other nations have dong
