improved somewhat, although lees

centers bankers have preferred not to

accordingly curtailed their requests for

OF Bourke Cochran, OF New York, to an
other ticket and the silence OF Presi-
dent Cleveland and his cabinet upon the
subject have @ ted as damper upon the
project, and the chances are that the
scheme will not materializo. The course
OF the President, while 1t was not un-
pected, comes with bad grace from q
man who has made so many professions
OF psrty feslty and received SO many
benefits at the hands OF the Democratic
organization. Mr.. Cleveland, however,
seems to belong to that class of individ-
uals in whose sweet will are embodied
the duties and obligations of every body
else. Being, in his own mind. the lar
gest part Of the Democratic party, IL was
very easy foc him to bow to the will OF
the majority, but now that the Chicago
convention has put forth some claims n
that direction, he finds 1t difficult to
realize his own position.

While Chicago may be perfectly will
ing to give women sil their rights in
the divorce courts, there is still opposi-
ton in that progressive municipality
against their doing service as iurymen.
Judge WindeF. of that city, on the 5sh
instant, refused to permit Mrs. E. D..
Michner and Mrs NJ. f. Stafford TO
serve as jurors in the criminal court,
Notwithstanding they were on the dsy
previous conditionally accepted by
another Judge. This seems rather hard
but the ladies above mentioned have
the consolation Of knowing that the
