Women Got Enough of Voting.

At the municipal elections held
throughout the state last week, the
women of Idaho enjoyed the priv.
lege of casting their first ballot un-
der the new law which grants them
equal suffrage. A majority of the
women, judging from our ex-
changes, have had enough of the
polls, and will probably never vote
again. We clip the following from
the Idaho Falls Register which
shows the sentiment there regarding
the effects of women suffrage:
The election On Tuesday demonstrated
two things: one WAS that there was some
women who require no instructions to
become full fledged politicians and wha,
might he termed ward -heelers who can
make an absolutely false statement and
tell it as smooth as though it were the
undeniable truth, also that some of our
churches, that it had always been sup
posed did not and would not unite church
and state, are making rapid strides in
that direction. 1t also demonstrated that
at least twenty five per cent of the wo-
men of Idaho Falls cast their first and
last vote at any election, that they be-
came absolutely disgusted with the pro,
ceedings; that the statement that the
presence of women at the polls does not
to any great extent deter certain class
of men from using profanity, not only in
the vicinity of the polls, but in the poll
ing room.

JOHNNY and His Wife.

The runaway marriage Of John
P. Atkinson, the 16-year-old son oil
Governor Atkinson of Georgia, and
Miss Ada Byrd, the 12-year-old
daughter of a wealthy publisher,
has had happy termination. The
families of the young couple held
several conferences during which
time the young man was guarded
by policeman in the executive
mansion at Atlanta, and his little
bride kept a prisoner at the resi-
dence Of some of her relatives at
Chattanooga. Tenn.
The relatives finally decided that
although the little folks had been
married by a justice of the peace,
that marriage service had to BE-
performed according to the rituals
of the Episcopal church before they
would be allowed to live together.
Therefore a second marriage cere-
mony took place at Chattanooga
Sunday evening. Gov. Atkinson,
the father of the groom, was accom-
panied by a large party of distin.
guished people from Atlanta, who
had been invited to the wedding
1t is said that young Atkinson will
continue as executive secretary to
his father, position to which is
attached salary of $1,000 a year
and the couple will make their
home for the present in the execu,
tive mansion.

The Chronicle says:
Their meeting was an affecting scene
even to the men hardened to human mis-
cry 10y the constant sight OF it. The
mother threw her arms about the son
crying. MY boy, my boy! My precious
baby!" and the son returned the caress
with so much of affection and tenderness
that the warden withdrew and left the
mother and son alone with the guard.
Durrant and bis mother talked earnestly

Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and their
6-year -old daughter Grace left
Washington for their Nebraska
home the day before the Inaugural
ton. While they were at the Wash
ington depot awaiting their train,
says a Washington correspondent,
Abner Mckinley, the brother of the
President, approached the party
and cordially shook Mr.. Bryan's
hand. He was presented to Mrs.
Bryan. Then Mr.. Bryan said ;
This is my daughter, Grace"
Mr.. Mckinley held out his hand
with pleasant smile. Grace looked
up at him with a frown on her
pretty face. She put her hands
behind her back and shook her head
"Won't you shake hands with
me?" asked Mr.. Mckinley in a
grave voice.

Mr.. Mckinley looked hurt, until
it was explained to him that Grace
had no dislike for him, but treated
every 'Kinley man" with the same
disdain.

GOLD DEMOCRATS ALARMED.
Prominent Leaders of That FACTION
Will Meet in New York.

Ex-President Cleveland, John G.
Carlisle, former Secretary of the
Treasury, and William L. Wilson,
former Postmaster General, will be
among the guests at dinner to be
given by the Reform Club at the
Hotel Waldorf in New York city
Saturday evening, April oath, says
New York dispatch. Between 500
and 600 leading Democrats affiliated
with the gold wing of the party will
attend, and the affair is likely to
make Democratic history.
In connection with this gathering
conference of Democrats who be
lieve in the gold standard has been
called To meet in Chickering Hall

will be national in character, all the
prominent figures on this side of the
house in the late campaign being
present.
The decided reaction in public
sentiment which has manifested
itself in the town elections through.
out the country has frightened the
gold men. General Charles Tracy
of Albany, E. Elery Anderson and
other men of this school coincide III
the opinion that the currency issue
far from having received its death
blow in the Presidential election OF
last November, is very much alive
and that the fight of 1896 will have
to be repeated in 1900 under posi-,
bly, less advantageous circumstan'
ces. 1t has, therefore, been deemed
wise to call conference of the gold
men to consider ways and means oil
keeping up the political fences. Ii
is probable, General Tracy says, that
some scheme of compromise will be
put forward with view to uniting
the several factions of the Demo
cratic party upon common ground
and against the common enemy.

An Agreement Reached.

The final agreement among Dem
ocrats, silver Republicans and Pop
ulists in the Senate looking to a
permanent coalition was reached at
Il meeting of representatives of those
parties held in Senator Germans
committee room at the Capitol April
10th. The agreement had it's origin
in the effort to reorganize the Senate
committees, but it is destined ap-
parently to reach far beyond the
situation to the extent of shaping
party policies throughout the coun-
try. There were present at the meet
ing: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Cock
rell, Wal,hal, Jones of Arkansas,
and Murphy. Silver Republicans
Senators Cannon and Mantle. Pop
ulists-Senators Allen and Petit
grew.
With reference to the matter of
the Senate reorganization it was
decided that the combination should
hold out for the assignment of all
the places on committees heretofore
held by Democrats, while it was
agreed that the Republicans should
have the places hitherto filled by
Republicans This will give the
Republicans all the committee
chairmanships vacated by the re.
tirement of Senators Cameron,
Sherman, Dubois, Squire. Mitchell
of Oregon and Brown, but it will
give the combination about 20 vac
ancies, while it allows the Repubh-
cans only about 80. The combina-
ton decided against making any
concessions. even that providing
for allowing the Republicans to fill
one of the three vacancies on the
Committee Oh Appropriations.

War preparations throughout the

War preparations throughout the
Turkish empire continue steadily,
although there is not much change
in the Eastern situation. There is
much speculation as to the probable
action of the Powers and there is
considerable feeling at their failure
in the attempts to coerce Greece.
Bands of Greek brigands are enter
ing Turkey in the vicinity of Gro
vena, and the Turkish troops have
had several engagements with them.
The situation is growing more SER
ious every hour and it is reported
that if the Turkish officers ascer-
tain the presence Of the uniform of
the Greek regulars in the ranks of
the insurgents, Edham Pasha will
order the advance of the entire
Turkish army and the war will be
on in dead earnest.

GENERAL CAMPOS MAY LEAD.
A Strong Infiucuce Setting In the
the Direction of the Ex-Cap-
tain General,

Madrid, Oct. 4.-Marshal Martinez de
Campos was In conference with the
queen regent yesterday for al hour and
4 half. He expressed the opinion that a
change OF policy was possible with the
present chamber If the majority sup
ported the new cabinets economic
measures and attitude toward the col
onies.
After the queen regent receives Senior
Sag3sta and Senior Pldal today she will
make her decision.
Her majesty expressed a desire TO re-
tain If possible the present chamber, be-
lie wing that a general election would
have a disturbing effect. For this, how
ever, a conservative cabinet would be
necessary. None of the liberals is in
clined to accept office, as they would
only find themselves at the mercy Of a
conservative chamber. General Campos
has been "endeavoring to effect arrange
ments whereby the chamber might be
retained in case the liberals were to
take office, but so far he has been I'M
successful.
During the conference Of leaders OF
the dissident conservatives with the
queen regent Senior Silvela declared that
in view Of the difficulties in the way Of
dissolution il would be best TO retain the
conservatives in office under the leader
ship OF Campos: and he said that on the
assumption that the cabinet should re-
celre the support OF all elements n ma
jority Of his own section would give it
enthusiastic support.
