The(RepubIicans of Indiana should not al
low the absorbing nature of the presidential
election to make them oblivious of the in
terests involved in the congressional and
State elections. Il is important that Me
kinIey should be elected President. but 1t
IL equally SO that the legislative branch of
the government should be under Republican
control. Every Congressman and every
Senator counts and it should be remem-
Abered there is a Senator at stake in this
State. Indiana has been too long misrep-
resented by two free trade and fiat money
cranks. 1t is time for a change. And our
excellent State ticket should receive a
rousing majority.

J. NJ S. Kokomo. Ind. The decrease in
the volume of national bank circulation is
largely due to the decrease in the amount
of the bonded debt of the United States
and to the relatively high premium on the
existing bonds. This latter feature compes
the investment of so large an amount of
money to obtain the required bonds upon
which only go per cent. of the par value
can be issued in notes and loaned, that the
money, if loaned out in the first instance
would produce larger income when the
tax and other expenses circulation are
considered

The silverites in New York are now in

The Populist committee has prepared a
paper explaining why their convention
nominated the ticket it did. Chairman
Jones might follow suit and explain that
the Chicago convention nominated Bryan
because it didn't stopnto think and Sewall
because he was d capitalist. But it IS not
plain how either the separate or combined
explanations will help in getting rid of a
superfiuous vice presidential candidate or
in extracting any funds from the gentle
man from Maine.

SUFFRAGE IN CALIFORNIA.

Californians will vote this year upon 4
proposed amendment to the State const-
tuition whereby women shall be granted
is on the ground, and she and other wom-
en- conducting the campaign will doubtless
derive great satisfaction from the opinion
of the late David Dudley Field, which is
embodied in article on American
Progress in Jurisprudence, and published
in the current Law Register 1t covers the
ground taken by the advocates of equal
suffrage so completely and briefly that it
is worth while to reproduce it, He says
What is meant by the people? AT the
time of the great declaration the people
meant adult white men. After the civil
war. and for some years, the people meant
adult men. white and black. What is meant
now? In the State of Wyoming by the
people is meant adult men and women,
white or black. In that most advanced of
all the States in this respect woman
as well as a man votes for the representa-
tives of State. Why should she not? She
counts in every enumeration Of the census;
nurse and instructor of youth; she forms
more than man the habits, tastes and man
terested man in good laws well admin
istered; she suffers as much from bad ad-
ministration and profits as much by good
one. | repeat. why should she not vote
as we'll as man? Certainly, it is not be-
cause she is not as capable to rule. In
modern times, three of the greatest rulers
of the world have been women-Maria
Theresa of Austria, Catherine of Russia
and Victoria of England 1t does not be-
come a man to say that any one OF these
great personages was not at least his
equal in the capacity and art of govern
ing And in these States, who will pre-
tend that it is just and decorous to give
the right of voting to ignorant blacks
when it is refused to intelligent women!
Political and social movements are some
times slow in their coming: but come they
will and it is the logical sequence OF our
frequent saying that this is a government
of the people, by the people and for the
to the wife of his bosom and the daughter
of his house the same voice in the gov
eminent of their country that is allowed
to his brother and his son. For us, 1t IS
enough to say. that though in many states
and nations the right of voting for holders
of the less important offices has been con-
ceded to women, yet it has been reserved
TO an American State to be first in the
long process of ages to place upon the
head of woman as of man the crown OF
a free and equal suffrage.
Plainly. Mr.. Field had no doubts as to
the right of women to vote or their abil-
ty to do so wisely. Whether his views
will arouse any woman from her calm in
difference to the question is doubtful, but
il is to be expected that the enterprising
advocates of the cause will lose no time
in circulating the words of so respected
an authority a campaign document
