The Republicans of New York, at the
dictation of Mr.. Plat, have nominated
Gen. Tacy for Mayor. The nomination
is a good one, and the only pity is that

be solid against Tammany. However, a
compromise may yet be made. though
the Citizens Union seems determined to
keep Mr.. Low In the field even In the

One Of the Progressive Young
Women of Canada.

Miss Laura B. Durand is the literary
editor of the Toronto Globe and one of
the women most interested in the W. G..
T. U. She has been on the staff of that
paper for seven years, and during that
time has gained a reputation for being
one of the best all around journalists in
Canadian admirable reviewer, a clever
reporter and an exceptionally capable
editor.
Miss Durand's first appearance in
print was the result of an article in The
North american Reuieao villifying the
progressive woman. She wrote a reply
to it, and it was published in the Toronto
Saturday Night. Liking this taste Of
journalism, she applied for and secured a
place on a short lived weekly published
by the Toronto Hail. Upon its deceas
she offered her services to the Toronto
Globe. She wrote a weekly letter with
such success that she was made a mem
Der of the staff. In the spring of 1894
she was sent to Ottawa to write up the
legislative session, and her press fortune
was made. The literary department. of
the Globe was presently handed over to
her, and she thoroughly renovated its
methods. Her years of quiet solid read
ing o served her well, though she had
no thought of them as a preparation.
Last of all she renewed the ehildren's
department by inviting her readers to Co
operate with her in contributing to it,
and the scheme has been an immense
success.
Miss Durand is an ardent suf.
fragist, and is deeply interested in the
cause of temperance. Her one accom-
plishment, she says, is music, her ear for
which is her monitor in prose writing and
her torture in a world full of horrid
noises.-Nor american.
Now we wonder what of the morrow
Will the constitutional amendments have
carried, before this issue of the MONITOR

Will the right of full school suffrage
have been restored to women? Well see

There seems to be a misconception on
the part Of some as to the purpose of the

preting it as legalizing the race track at

steady downpour drumming on the
tautened canvas of his tent, thinking
Of the odd contrasts brought about by

AT intervals during the moist and

had hung about the westward end Of
camp. Something of the events of the
previous night had been put in circula-

rolled, had attained huge proportions
by the time it reached the, outlying
plantations five and ten miles away.
This, coupled with the tremendous story
of the Jail delivery at Tugaloo, had been
sufficient to draw the holder of their

When Lambert had finished his con-
ference with Burns, and, as in duty
bound, went over to the Walton place
10 inquire how its chatelaine had passed
the night, he marched forth through a
little congregation of shining black
faces and obsequious and tattered
forms, and had to run the gauntlet of
chorus of personal remarks, all in
high degree complimentary, as to the
style and fit of his uniform, as well as
his general appearance. In less than
five minutes he returned, but with
such chagrin at heart that it must have
been reflected in his youthful face.
Serene in the consciousness that he was
doing perfectly conventional and
proper thing. he had bounded lightly
up the broad wooden steps and knocked
at the door. It was opened almost in
stantly by the colored girl whom he
had seen the night before and heard
apostrophized as You Elinor." The
eager expression in her eyes gave way
at once to something of disappointment

Elinor stood peering through about
one foot of gap, the door she had SO
promptly thrown wide open having
been as promptly closed to that limit
Lambert could not but hear other doors
opening within-could almost swear he
heard the swish of feminine skirts, the
whisper of feminine voices, low and
eager. The fact that the girl stood
there, barring the entrance and ap.
parently afraid to go, added to his the:
DRY that she was being prompted from
behind.
"Ah dunno, sub. Ah'll Sec" she said
at last, slow and irresolute. What
