Woman Suffrage and the Chris
tian Church.

Rev. Ada G.. Bowles. Gloucester,
Mass: Suffrage for women has beer
urged upon every ground of right and
of expediency for the last fifty years.
Never has great question command
ed more able advocates. Their names
are among the foremost in the land
and are, of themselves, the witness o1
the Importance of their reform anG
the surety for its complete final tri'
umph. Much has already been gained.
Many states have given school suf.
frage; few states, full suffrage. The
results where given have been such as
encourage its extension to the whole
country. In spite of these facts. the
church is strangely Indifferent to the
question, although it is one so closely
connected with its own needs. What
more than the uplifting of three
fourths of its units to citizenship and
political equality with men, could
raise the church to higher Importance
as a social regenerator? What more
than this would win to it's fellowship
the men now SO widely apart from it:
If three-fourths of any organization
are deprived Of the authoritative ex-
preston of their opinions by the same
law which deprives idiots, lunatics.
paupers and criminals of such express
sion such an organization cannot eX-
pect to win and hold the confidence
and respect Of men. Is it then any
marvel that men have SO largely
failed to identify themselves closely
with the church? The secretary OF
the national committee of the Y. M. G..
A. not long since sent abroad the
printed statement that "but five per
cent of the young men throughout tine
country are church members, only fif-
teen per cent attend church with any
regularity, while seventy-fve per cent
never attend church, If the women
now SO largely constituting the church
be given full citizenship, they will lift
the church to a higher place in the
affairs of men. The minister, preach
ing no longer to a class whose opini-
ons are not counted at the ballot-box
is likewise sharer in the change, and
not. as now, undervalued. The moral
ity and religion of woman will not be
looked upon as a band-box possession,
but as weapons of warfare upon
wrong doing through better govern
meat,-a government whose duty Mr..
Gladstone thus defines: sit is the
duty of government to make it as
hard as possible for a man to go
wrong, and as easy as possible for a
man to go right" Shall not the min
listers and other leaders of the church
rouse themselves to the need of the
hour. and save the church from the
danger all too apparent to those who
to those who love it? Or will they
continue the battle of the higher criti-
cisn and tie contcntion over cr2edal
changes, while churches dwinllle and
the forees oi evil multiply:
Tine church that sets o form Of creed
Above the claim OF human right
Is traitor to the higher. need.
And heaven will avenge the slight. :"

With their usual inability to
grasp the real situation. populist
papers and statesmen and papers
are beginning to urge Mckinley
to commence operations to
secure prosperity. They fail to
comprehend that no republican
administration will be in power
for nearly five months, and are
equally unable to perceive that
the tide of prosperity has already
begun to flow. The main diff
Guilty with those persons is that
their view of what constitutes
the government is ''of the people,
by the people and for the people. ~
That their own pur-blind num-
bers constitute an integral and
specially troublesome part of
the government, seems to be one
of the things which their creator
never intended they should un-
derstand. Their idea of govern
ment is an imaginary entity en-
dowed with autocratic power.
They imagine that because our
government has power to enforce
obedience to law, therefor it has
power to suspend and unpercede
law. They have seized upon the
idea of paternalism in govern
ment, and after magnifying and
multiplying it. seek to engraft it
on our system. The elementary
fact that the condition of the peo-
pie is neither mere nor less than
what the people by their own
acts make it has no place in their
calculations. The natural and
inevitable bad effects of errone-
Gus economic politics they never
assign to the actual cause. but
charge all the trouble up to all
imaginary unwillingness of 1.-The
government to do it's duty by
the people, and more especially
by that part of the people which
they themselves compose. Be-
cause some fiat power is said
to reside in olnnipotence, they
are unable to see why the same
power in at least limited degree,
does not also reside in 1.-The gov
ernment. They have never yet
been able to realize that the
powers Of a republican form of
government consists only of a
few, the exercise of which has
been by the people, the source of
all governmental power, express
ly delegated to few men speci-
ally and temporarily selected to
exercise those few powers, all
other powers by the fundamental
law of the constitution being lex
pressly reserved The follow
ing of Bryan is due entirely to a
vague and hazy idea of what real
ly constitutes our government,
and of it's proper scope. In no
mind which has any correct con-
ception of what constitutes gov
errment, can the vagary of free
coinage find any lodgment. Any
popular education, to be effective
against that delusion, must go
far back of that part tic11lar ism,

carry him through. But II the caucus

instituted for it without success. The

AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM.-When John Ransome
had talked five minutes to the large
audience at this house last night he adj
ded another title to his well-recognized
one of King of New York, and was clam
orously chosen Alcalde of Los Angeles.
There is only one Ransome, and he
stands alone as topical comedian.
From the moment he stepped to the
footlights in the makeup of Col. Andy
Mckay after winter tour through
Canada, with the ravens fitting around
him, until he responded to the fifteenth
call from the delighted auditors, he kept
everybody in roar, and his local hits
were so deity handled that the house
fairly went wild with merriment Ran
some is whole show in himself and will
pack :he Orpheum. The Irish bagpipe
players and dancers Morton and Mack
and those clever people Carr and, Jordan
also came in for rousing bumpers of well
come. Miss Parry's realistic impersona-
ton of famous actors and actresses are
the best that have been given here for
years. Wood and Shepard, in their mus
ical act, the three Nightons in their aer-
ialistic feats and Watson and Dupre all
add strong elements of force and attract
iveness to the best bill that has been
presented at the Orpheum for months

company has and the excellent work of
all concerned again proves that each

ough artist Joseph J. Bowling as the
hero of MY Partner plays the part
in a way which strikes a responsive
chord in the hearts of the audience, and
it is seldom that an actor receives heart
Ter applause than is accorded to Mr..
bowling by the Burbank patrons. Ar
thur Moulton's Major Henry Clay Britt
stands out with vivid clearness, and is
by far the best work that this inimita-
BILE comedian has done here this season
Kate Dallas and Fanny Yantis are two
clever actresses, and their work in the
play is an important factor in its sue
cess. Taken altogether. my Partner
is dramatic feast worthy of the exact
ing dramatic epicure, and judging by
its drawing powers so far is sure to pull
