liberty. They declared that no man or
class of men should be dependent upon
any other man or class of men. This is
the American doctrine, the open secret
of our magnificent history for a century
and a quarter. 1t is undeniable that
woman also is entitled to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, and why
should she depend upon another rather
than upon herself for the defence of her
God-given rights? The truth is that wo-
man was excluded from the franchise 1t
the behest of inherited prejudice. The
pagan conception was that she was a
mere adjunct of man, either married or
to be married Medieval and modern
law borrowed this conception from pag-
anism. The woman was a mere annex

feet that he might trample upon her,
but from his side that she might be his
equal, from under his arm that he might
protect her. and from next his heart
that she might be his other and dearer
self" But though equal, man and wo-
man are different each shut up to char
acteristic functions and duties which,
being natural and inalienable, are not
interchangeable. The second fact is
that there are many duties and activl-
ties which are essentially neutral in
gender lying on the "debatable ground

man, as the case may be; and the thiru
that as civilization advances 1t becomes
more complex, and bread-winning is
more difficult, exacting and engrossing.

The broadening of the list of these has
relieved the congestion, and the moral

stocks today. The actual movement however,

being governed by the early intelligence, re-
ceived by powerful speculative interests, that
combined effort would be made by the banks
to prevent rates rising to a point likely to
precipitate disaster. London prices for Amer

ket without anything but politics to
rule 1T is not often seen. Business is
almost abolished until after election by
the extraordinary pressure for money,
by the indisposition of anybody to sell
who thinks a great change for the bet
ter is near, by the feeling that it is no
use to contract or buy when so little
time remains before decision and by
? the general absorption of business men
in political activity.
The feature of the week has been the
pressure in the New York money mar
ket, in spite of the heavy arrivals of

except that with practically four holi-

treme monetary pressure in carrying

they can get what they want at lower

REDsKIN WITH TWO WIVES.
One of Them Appeals to the Courts
for Divorce.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Oct. 3d.
Further evidence that the Sioux In
dians are rapidly advancing in civili-
zation is furnished by the commence
ment here Of divorce proceedings be-
tween two members of the tribe. A
few years ago it was not necessary to
apply to the courts to dissolve Indian
marriages, such as they were. In Oc-
tober, 1890, First Born and Appearing
Earth were married at Grow Creek
agencv. Affairs in the First Born
household went along with scarcely a
ripple until two years ago, when a
young Sioux beauty named Good Ma
tured Fool Bear appeared on the scene.
She had been attending one of the
Eastern Indian schools. The jealousy
of the wife was aroused. Then the re-
creant husband and the young charmer
decided to elope. They fed to Yankton
agency, but were followed by Indian
police and carried back to Crow Creek.
Last month Rev. E. P. Swartout. a
Methodist of Gam Valley. married
First Born and Fool Bear. Now the
original wife has him arrested for
bigamy and sues for divorce.
