1 had heard SO many times, both In and
out of the pulpit, that woman owed to
Christianity her social elevation and the
amelioration Of her lot that had come to
accept 1t as truism. AT all events, 1t had
never occurred to me to question the Dos
tulate until, one day, I read in the Ger
mania" of Tacitus that among the ancient
Teutons a kind of sanctity seemed to per-
tain to women. Truly remarkable consfd-
ering the time when 1t was written, Is the
statement that the German women were
not permitted to regard themselves as
standing outside the world belonging to the
men, nor were they unconcerned in their
warlke pursuits. If the above statement
OF Tacitus is to be trusted, 1 am inclined
to believe that the Germans, amid all the
rudeness Of pastoral and militant life
possessed elements of higher civilization
than the fastidious and over-refined Ro-
mans. The chief evidence of this supe-
rlority Is, 1 think, to be found in their at
Germans, apparently, men conceded all
that women demanded. There Is to me
something very noble in the comradeship
Of husband and wife which appears to have
existed among these rude and hardy war;
riorS-a comradeship half resembling that
of boy and girl before the consciousness of
sex has markedly differentiated them. Not
even from the tribal council were women
excluded. Tacitus expressly states that
they were attentively listened to, and that
their advice was never left UNDECIDED.

The Official Election Returns.

On other pages of this issue of The
Gazette will be found complete official
returns of the election in this State
held on Tuesday, November Sd.
The publication was delayed because
the labor involved in the work was
enormously increased, this year, by the
great size of the tables. due to the I'M
usual number of candidates. Usually,
the entire vote of the State can be com
pressed within the limits of a single
page. but this year two full pages and
tho greater part of third are required
for the purpose.
In the Kent county tables, the full
vote is given as it was reported to the
board of canvass. The board rejected
several heavy Republican returns, but
its action has been questioned in the
courts, and the probabilities are that
it will be reversed. At any rate, the
printed tables show the vote cast, and
furnish the best basis for future com
parison, no matter how the proceedings
against the canvassing board may re-
suit.
In the preparation of those tables,
much care and labor has been OK.

opportunity for interesting study and

Annual Neetisg amt Eo-eiaction OF the
Old BOARD Of Directors.
The annual meeting of tho Bay State
Gan Co. was held on Tuesday in this
city, but, according 10 j. Edward Adj
dicks, who was eeen by u reporter of

meeting. nothing .was done except the
reelection Of the old board OF directors.
The directors elected at the meeting
last year we're j. Edward AddickB,
James q. Shaw. Newell Ball, ]. Frank
Alice and john III. Bateman.
Mr.. Addicgs declined to commit
himself as to what he meant by the old
board Of directors, which he had stated
was reelected. He inferred that there
had been no change since the election
a year ago, and insinuated that the re-
ported resignation OF some OF the mem.
bers OF the board at the time OF the
last suit against the company conveyed
false Impression. According to the
statements given out by interested
parties at the time of the settlement Of
the suit, Henry M. Whitney, William
Rockefeller, II. ii. Rogers and John L.
Moore, some Of whom are known as
Standard OIL men, succeeded Mr., Adj
dicks and his party. But Mr.. Addiclss
denied that such was tho case, and in
sisted that the old board was chosen to
succeed ITSELF, but would not men
tion name In connection with tho old
or new board. Other parties supposed
to BIO interested professed to know
nothing about the action of the meet

prop the FREQ SILVER. Agitation.

Notwithstanding he decisive verdict
of the people at the recent election,
some OF the radical advocates Of FREQ
silver coinage are already suggesting q
continued agitation of the question.
with view OF making it the issue OF
the next national campaign, Mr.. Bryan
is credited with the intention Of being
tine chief factor in ths movement,
for the purpose Of kssping himself
prominent and inauring his nomination
for President by the Democratic party
in the campaign of 1900.
1t 10 hoped, however, that wiser
counaels may prevail, and that the
free silver coinage issue may be per-
mitted to drop into deserved Oblivion.
Upon this issue the Augusta, Ga,
Chronicle. paper which vigorously
supported Bryan throughout the recent
campaign, very sensibly says;
We do not think that continued and
continuous agitation OF the issue is
wise at this tiIue, or necessary to it's
preservation. The question has been
plainly put before the people. In
general terms they understood the issue.
They voted to continue the trial of the
gold standard. We accept their verdict,
and say give it the fullest and fairest
trial For the present. we believe it to
be the part of wisdom 10 discontinue
the financial discussion. aud turn at
tention to material development and the
encouragement Of commercial pros
perity.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal,
another devoted supporter Of Bryan, is
also opposed to the proposition to keep
the issue of free silver coinage before
the people. 1t repudiates the idea in
these vigorous terms:
The only reply to such a question is !:
Rats ~ with prolonged and thun-
dering accent on the sonant fricative.
The country has had enough financial
agitation, and what is needed now is
peace and an opportunity to work. The
Buffers, Tillmans and other professional
agitators must 60 into retirement.
And $50 say we all of US. The
country has had enough of this kind
of agitation. 1t wants to get down
upon solid business basis and forget
partisan politics for awhile. Free silver
coinage was killed at the recent cleo.
ton, and all attempts to resurrect the
issue should be resolutely stamped out
of existence.
