DEBATE on SUFFRAGE.
A DRAWN BATTLE AT THE ROOMS OF THE
YOUNG PEOPLES LEAGUE IN
FOURTEENTH-S

The Young Peoples League had a woman suffrage
meeting its rooms. at No. West Fourteenth-st.,
a few nights ago. Most OF the young people believe
In giving the franchise 10 women but there are
few who DO not. Both sides got hearing.
Mrs. s. LOOMS took emphatic negative stand
She said that what the reform women would accom-
plish only the prophecy OF enthusiasts entirely
without inspiration and without common sense be-
cause the vrtuous. intelligent woman was always
conrasted with the ignorant and unprlncipled man;
but the fact is. she said, that multiplying the ex-
ercises of suffrage would mean multiplying unprn-
ciped as well as principed voters.
Cheyenne, the capital city OF Wyoming. the speak

thousand. Women have voted there for over
quarter OF century. and there are twenty-five
licensed gambling-houses now. and saloons are az

thing In the world to get and the easiest thing to
keep and the easiest thing to manipulate in po

senator Walsh Wants TO Give Re.
pubIicans Chance.

When the Cotton Growers Protective
Association of America met at Augusta,
Ga, among the speakers at the opening
session was ex-senator Patrick Walsh,
editor of the Augusta Chronicle. In the
course of his address, he said:
"Do you know that to-day, while loyal
TO the principles which the majority
of our people advocated in the presi-
Dental election fear to say It, lest
IL may be looked upon as disloyal 20 our
party--it may be all for the best that
the measure of the republican party
should be fully tested during the next
four years; but il is due TO oandor TO say
that have very little faith either in the
promises or in the performances of
that party so far as the south Is con-
cerned.
But were / In congress / would give
the party In power free scope 10 enact
such laws as IL may deem essential for
n revival OF business and a return Of
prosperity. If their administration of
the government proves a failure, the
American people will hold the repub-
lican party to a strict accountability,
and the principles and policies of the
democratic party will be indicated In
the next presidential election"
This Is a fair proposition. The great
protection party that elected,President
Mckinley asks only for fair chance 20
prove the excellence of It's policies. Ex-
Senator Walsh says he has very little
faith in the promises or in the perform
ances OF that party so far as the south Is
concerned" That Is unfortunate, but
as he is a fair-mindcd man, he has but
20 watch the benefits that will follow
republican policies after they have been
In operation for rs months and he will
then have discovered such an improve
ment i'm all lines OF industry and bust
ness In the south, as well as in other
sections, as TO convince him and every
other honest-minded man that the pres
ent administration and its party have
been true 20 their pledges and that the
promised results have been realized.

Utterly unjust.

The language used by Mr.. Cleveland
and his democratic friends respecting
the republican party could only be ox-
cused IL there had been held out to him
or to them distinct assurances that the
republican party, If successful, would
dishonorably abandon the principles
and pledges which had caused the nom
nation of President Mckinley and
which brought him great share of his
support. Everybody knows that no
such assurances were given. On the
contrary, everybody knows that, from
the earliest TO the latest hours of the
campaign, Maj. Mckinley continued TO
appeal directly to the people for sup
port on the ground that there could be
no solid or lasting prosperity without
adequate protection of American in
dustries. His supporters, also, in every
state of the union pursued the same
frank and straightforward course, even
when continually abused by democratic
boilers for declining to abandon the
principles Of the republican party. No
words of censures could be too strong,
therefore, for the democratic leaders
who endeavor TO deceive and mislead
the people by false representations in
regard to the party, which the people
intrusted gladly with power after four
years trial Of Mr.. Cleveland's admin.
istration and party.-N. Y. Tribune.

Narrow belts are the ones 20 be worn
this season. They have taken the place
Of the wide bands that covered the dis
crepancy between the skirt and the
waist. Thus il behooves the woman to
have her skirt snug and tight If she in
tends 20 wear IL belted. Waist bindings
are shown In many varieties, a popular
one being double-faced black satin rib
bon not more than one inch or one and
one-half inches wide. IL is ,vorn as n
belt, 20 be pinned or buckled at the
side, or IL may be twice wound around
the waist and tied In n small bow at the
back. Belts play an important part In
this seasons costume, and few hand
some examples OF Russian and Swedish
jeweled work bands that have recently
been imported are much sought after.
Silver and other metal belts are regal
In their mountings OF scmiprecious
stones and beauty of carving and enam-
cling. The leather belts are not to be
discarded, though, and these will an
usual be worn and will be In all colors.
Women must remember, however, that
the white belt also light green ones.
tends to make the waist appear large, so
those OF dark blue, black, red, tan and
brown will be the most worn.--N. Y.

FAR from diminishing the consump-
ton of liquor, the government mono
poly of spirits in Russia seems vastly
TO have increased drunkenness among
the subjects of the car. For, where
rs formerly the authorities frowned
upon the dramshops and favored the
establishment OF tea drinking estab-
lishments, the contrary is now tho
case, since it has been found that the
popularity and vogue Of the the tea
shops affect injuriously the revenue
derived by the state from its monopoly
OF the sale Of spirits
