NEW ZEALAND SUFFRAGE.
BY DOROTHY pOLITTLE.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-Countess Wacht-
neister, the noted theosophical lecturer who
arrived here yesterday is full of enthusiasm for
what she says are the admirable results OF
granting the ballot to women in New Zealand
81 have just been spending year lecturlng
in the Australian colonies, and during that
time | virtually travelled all over Australia,
New Zealand and Tasmania" she said. ION
all hands in New Zealand | saw the benefit OF
women being able to vote. One admirable re-
suit is that highly respected men who before
held aloof from politics are now coming tor
ward and making their power felt in public
life
81 was fortunate enough in meeting the flrst
lady mayor, who acted in the capacity of chair
man at one of my lectures. Her name was
Mrs. Yates She was mayor of of Onehunga.
''During her term of office, which only last
ed year, she saved the town $500, an I'M
precedented event in that community. She
fulfilled all her duties perfectly and saw that
even the minutest affairs were looked into
The people had clean streets and good sanitary
arrangements, and yet the town was able to
save $500 under Mrs. Yates administration
1t lust shows what a woman can do. She was
a clever, agreeable woman and thorough lady
in every way, not one of your new women OF
the period She attended well to her home du-
ties too, for she was woman who would DO
all she undertook to do well. ~

THENEw WOMEN VERY OLD.

The new woman is not new, it is now said.
Isaiah the prophet, who lived more than $500
years ago, complains that the women in his
time overstepped the old rules and customs of
their sex. In Greece the question was constant
" coming up. The women of Sparta, indeed,
may be described as nation of New Women,
for they contended in manly exercises. With
them, however, in historical times, this was
treated as a matter of course. 1t was elsewhere,
and especially at Athens, that men considered
the position of women from critical standpoint
Aristophanes, the comic poet, had many MT
at the women of his day, and Ill his "Fcclesi-
azusae," 3o3 B. c., he showed them on the
stage, dressed as men, transacting the business
of the state aud deciding Oh community OF
qoods-and of husbands. Plato approached
The question il more serious spirit and from
the other side He considered that women are
the same as men by nature, the only difference
lying in comparative physical weakness there
fore in his ideal state he assigns them precisely
the same duties and privileges as to men.
They are to receive the s1me education, be
equally free in conjugal relations, fight IN war
and bear their share III rule

WHAT howl went up from the redeemer
press and claquers about alleged dishonesty and
incompetency in the public institutions of Kan
sas under Populist administration! Even
should we admit that all of these charges were
true (Which we do not(, they were as nothing
compared with the dishonesty, thievery and
pure helishness that are continually coming to
light under redeemer rule, and that, too, without
any effort on the part of the Popuists to bring
them to light Murder in the insane asylum is
becoming quite common. Mislnanagement at
the penitentary is becoming SO rank that it
stinks. During the last few days two valuable
carpets have been stolen from the state house
one from Bank Commissioner Bredenthal's Of
fee, and the other from governors office.
HERE is heading that appeared in lac
number of the Topeka State Journal (Rep.):
ALL THIEVES.
What Grover Cleveland Can't Rob the People of
By His Issues of Gold Interest Bearing Bonds,
The Republican House Of Congress Steals.
The heading is suggestive and truthful

are receiving their just reward.

A WASHINGTON paper, independent in poll
tics, published the following few days ago:
"rhe opinion is held in very high quarters
that even President Cleveland and members Of
his cabinet will not support the Democratic
ticket if a silver man is nominated, but will
vote with the Republicans if they adopt gold
standard platform at St. Louis. One of the
closest friends of the president limited this. He
said that the gold men, if they bolted, would
nominate an independent ticket if there was
already a gold ticket in the field, because
they would not be willing ito divide the gold
vote. Kansas City Times (Gold-Bug Dem,

UNDER the most favorable circumstances, the
Topeka Capital is mendacious but when it treats
of Ben Tillman, fancy runs riot and hyperbole
takes kangaroo leaps. ''To hell with Great
Britain" is attributed to Tillman, in the United
States senate, in one of the Capitals late
tantrums. Tillman used no such language,
either in the senate or elsewhere. Ii he had
used such language in the United States SEN
ate, he would have been called down. The Cap
ital has a right to disagree with Tilman, but no
moral right to tell lies; and, even if Tillman
had used profanity, profanity at its worst is not
as great vice as falsehood. The Bible says
that all liars shall have their place i'll the lake
that burns with fire and birthstone. Take it all
in all, the Capital will have such big part
when it launches its bark on the sea Of liquid
brimstcne that Satan will have to rustic to keep
the craft afoat

In speaking of the enforcement OF the
nr, hibitory law, and the perjury committed by
onr officers, sworn to enforce ALL law, and this
talk of re-submission the Topeka Co'Operatof
says
"There must be no backward step; the law
must be enforced until the state can give MS
system that will take the element OF protlt
out of it and put it wholly in charge OF the
state. Kansas goes forward, not backward, and
she will releg ate to oblivion aud obliterate from
her memory the perjured villains who have
betrayed her.

This is fighting year. Ben Tilman forked
over the United States senate. The presiding
officer of the Methodist general conference
young child known as the A. P. A., it is said,
is fighting like old people Some of the lead
ing members of that organization are charged
with corruption. Well, the A. P. A. is an un-
canny chiel, and if it should happen to cry it
self to death, America would manage to protect
her institutions without its assistance. 1t looks
as if it was the opposite of what it claims to
be. Any secret political organization is un-
American, and when any body OF men attempt
to keep men out of office because of their re-
ligion, we enter protest. Let us have an
amendment to the constitution of the United
States forbidding the appropriation of public
funds to the support of private and sectarian in
stitutions, and then we will have no more use
for the A. P A. than the earth has for another
cold, cold moon.
If "the government has no legitimate way to
get money but by taxing the people," who
pays the taxes ? Everybody knows that all
government taxes are raised by an indirect levy.
1t is generally conceded that the men who use
tobacco and drink whisky pay the internal
revenue tax and if so, is it not true that the
consumers of all goods upon which tariff is
collected pay the import tax ? and if SO, is it
not true that Our system of taxation is the most
iniqutous of any civilized government on the
face of the earth ? Men don't need to use to-
bacco, or drink whisky, but all our citizens
need clothing, lumber and hardware. To OBJ
tain necessity, the poorest of our citizens
must pay for the privilege, and not little of
what is paid passes into the pockets Of individ-
uals and corporations. In a twofold sense does
our government impose on its citizens. 1t COL
lects its taxes of those the least able to pay,
and gives half the proceeds to moneyed cor
porations

ST. JOHNS PERSECUTION CONTINUES

y l..
For years, Ex-Governor John P. St. John
has been under fire of abuse, SANDER and false
hood from the Republicans because he acted i'll
accordance with the dictates of his conscience,
and few men can withstand what he has borne
He left the old Republican party because of its
cowardice, and cast his lot with party that
was brave and stood for principle and dared
to maintain it. 1t seems as though he had suf
fered all that any man could suffer in life
time But not so. A few days ago, at the
Prohibition national convention, he left that
party because of its cowardce and refusal to
stand by the downtrodden and oppressed of the
nation; because it refused to stand by the noble
women who have so Loyalty stood by it; be-
cause the party insisted on obeying the de-
mands of VIM. T. Wardwell treasurer of the
Standard Oil Company and member of the
Morgan bond syndicate Because of this cow
ardly trucking to monopoly, Governor St.
John severed his connection with the Prohibi-
ton party, and now, Chairman Dickie, the
New York Voice and other pumps Of plutocracy
are pouring their Walls of wrath upon him and
lying about him most outrageously. But, the
grand old commoner will come out of the or
deal without the smell of fire upon his gar
ments. He is right His great warm heart
beats for the Masses and he will ever remain
true to them and his convictions.
SENATOR BRICE, the New York millionaire
Democrat who bought seat in the United
States senate from the Ohio Legislature few
years ago. has this to say regarding the free
silver control of the Democratic party: "These
silver fellows have wanted to control the party,
and now that they have the power to do as they
please, let them go ahead. Well see where
they come out | do not see any reason why
we should bolt. We can go home and attend
to our private affairs, some of us voting the
silver ticket, some staying away from the polls
and others voting for Mckinley. The Repub-
licans will carry the country. They will carry
it by tremendous ma jority, and that is the
quickest way to get rid of the silver craze. 1t
will be a good thing for the United States that
we have the issue squarely raised, for if the
silver fellows did not get a chance to test the
sentiment of the country with a I6-to-I plat
form this year, they would want it next time.
We have to meet this thing and bury it some
time, and now is the time. The country is
going to wash out the silver craze, just as it
washed out the greenbqck craze and hung it on
the line to dry"
ACCORDING to the Chicago Record, the nail
trust raised the price of cut nails per key 22S
per cent, and wire nails per key, goo per cent,
and that, too, within the last year, and under
the reduced tariff of the Democratic party
Now, to show that tariff will not interfere with
trusts, the same authority shows that wire nails
in the German market are quoted at $I.54, to

Say, and New Attractions are Added.
Work at the State Fair grounds is
progressing rapidly, and the prelirni-
nary arran gements are nearly complet-
ed. At the meeting OF the board this
week the conditions OF the speed de-
partment were changed from 10 per
cent entrance fee, to per cent entrance
fee, payable when horse is nominated
and per cent deducted from money
winners. This change viii strike the
horsemen faVorably and there is no
question but there viii be large fields
in every class Money paid at the
wire" is what catches the boys, and
when they see four sacks Of silver hung
on the wire, they all push on the lines
little harder than they would other
wise.
Mr.. o. P. Updegraft, who has been Sc
cured as starter, is very popular with
the norsemen, and although he is strict
and holds them to the rules very closely
they are bound 10 respect him for his
fairness. He knows no favorites and
when he says GO" you can depend up
on it that every morse has mad a chance
to be even with the bunch at thestart.
Seven enormous tents have been Sc
cured for the exhibits, ranging from
6ox9O TO 10Ox150 feet, which ensures
room for everybody to bring whatever
has merit.
Many merchants have handed in an
offer Of liberal special premiums, and
any one desiring to offer a special
premium for any particular exhibit
should hand the same in at the secre-
tary's office, or mail to him. The poul-
try and pet stock show will be the
grea test ever seen in Kansas, and one
of the largest tents has been set aside
for this. Lew Butterfield, being tine su-
perintendent of this department, is a
guarantee that everything viii be look
ed after properly, and fair treatment
given to all exhibitors.
The rate of only fare for the round
trip from Oklahoma, Indian Territory
and Kansas point, Kansas City and st.
Joseph, will enable people to come
cheaper than they can stay at home,
and reports from all over show that
they are coming.
Secretary Smith says. tell everybody
to talk and work for the fair, and bring
anything you have of merit. and enter
it for a premium. Make a grand, inn
mense display of the products OF Kan

WAYS than the award of premiums.

WICHITA MAN WRITES A BOOK
Another Added to Wichifa's Record In the
Literary World.

DR.. n. TEden. formerly Of this city.
has written a book which is creating
considerable talk over the west. DIR
Tilden is now in charge OF hospital in
Denver
His literary effort is called Cursed
Before Birth" 1t is book with an
object Its aim Is against immortality
and domestic infidelity and the Wichita
writer goes after the sinners with a
terrible directness and frankness. The
Illustrations are poor, but the subject
matter OF the book is written in a. schoI-
arly manner and some of the errors
of the time are held up in a most
scathing way. The lesson OF morality
is hung about a romance, which has
considerable plot to it, and which holds
the reader while teaching him an i'm
portant lesson
Wichita has people all over the coun-
try helping reform things Most OF
them are engaged politically, but Dr.
Tilden has gone after the sociological
part Of the human race, direct, and Is
sues warning to the evils Of the time
