REGULATING FEMALE SUFFRAGE

Mrs Frances Willard is out in an
other magazine article in which she at
temptS to prove that another bloodless
revolution is marking the progress of
civilization, in that all the avenues of
life are opening TO women, including
those Of pubic life and the ballot. Fe-
male suffrage is not going to become
a universal thing until womn practical
ly universally ask or demand it. And
in such an event, if it ever should hap
pen, observation and experience seem to
warrant the prediction that woman
herself would avoid its responsibilities
and finally annul and repudiate the
right, sO-called. Woman suffrage in
Colorado is in no sense q success or
satisfactory TO the great majority of
women. A small per cent of women in
that state boast their delight in the
franchise, as would the same women

playing the ordinary role of the man
outright. Many women of Colorado,
quiet housewives on the ranches. wo-
men in social life of the towns and
cities. as also those who teach in the
schools and occupy positions in shops,
offices, etc, are strongly at variance
with the political policy OF female suf-
frage. A majority of the women Of
Colorado do not vote because they pre-
fer to, but because they are practically
cmpelled 10 go TO the polls. A lady as

NJ. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor
JERRY'S BOOMERANG.

Jerry Simpson prides himself on his
cuteness, which he not only believes
SURPRISES that of most other men, but
that it is hereditary endowment, TO be
relied upon whatever the emergency.
He is convinced that his motherwit is
of such superior character as to more
than compensate him for his Lack OF ex-
perience and want of educatiOn-that,
in short, the Interests of the people can
be better conserved by his glibness OF
tongue than by wisdom, or any course
pf action based on the deductions of
reason and experience. But the aff1atus
of Jerry's frenzy is not an inspiration,
nor solid footing for prophecy, no
more than it is a safe or reliable basis
for action. 1t has been but short time
since this political freak Of socliess
fame, IN the desperation of the moment,
or because of some conceived immedi-
ate advantage to himself. publicly pre-
dicted that within year this entire
country would be struggling in the
throes of financial, commercial and in
dustrial panic, such as this generation
never experienced. Were the trend of
things reversed with indications OF
trouble plainly discernible and abound
ing, the unwisdom of such a prediction
upon the part of a public man could
only be deplored. No politician of any
accumen ever attempts predictions at
the short range of years time, certain
~ not disaster. A politician may be
safe in talking of what will happen. In
his Judgment in the century TO come.
But only mountebanks and adventures
pretend to foretell of tomorrow or to
unfold the situation year hence. With
everything indicating better times, even
to present improving conditions, this su-
perfluous casualty who dreams that in
being an imported patriot he is a born
statesman, grabs time by the forelock
and TRUSTING his nose into the womb of
futurity, tells his impressionable follow
ing what they may swallow of all that |
lies therein hidden
But Jerry deems himself smart in |
other directions, and equal to every |
emergency possible in any political way.
After years 1t seems that some of the |
Pops Of Barber county got their eyes
open TO The pretensions of this states
man, whom they had the honor of orig |
inally discovering, and refused, this fall, |
to permit him to dictate the candidates
for the county ticket in his sole interest.
This so fred the prophet of Madison
Loge" that he instigated a ticket of his
own of the Bryan-Democratic order.
The election on last Tuesday revealed
the wisdom of our astute statesman
Barber county went Republican, and
whether 1898 proves to be the greatest
year OF panics in the history of the
world, or a full year of blooming Re-
publican prosperity, all the same Jerry
Simpson, the political skipper, and
prophet of evil, will hear something drop
in Barber county, and 1T will be with
suoh a dull thud as to jar him out of
his boss seat and out Of his seat in con-

will be brought before the next con-
gress. The oyer-zealous guardians OF
state rights may oppose it, but the oppo-
sition Will have little weight, for the
south, where state rights are still po-
lttical doctrine, demands it. Had fed
eral sanitary authority been in existence
this summer yellow fever would proba-
bly, have been kept out of Louisiana
and Mississippi. The fever was brought
into Biloxi from Ship Island, a quaran-
tine station about five miles from the
mainland. In 1898 the quarantine sta
ton was moved, against the advice OF
medical authorities, from Chandelier
Island, twenty-five miles from land, TO
Ship Island, where the citizens Of Biloxi
could trade with the detained vessels.
With the quarantine stations under ma
tionaI control, the move would not
have been made Furthermore, when
the dread fever actually appeared al
Biloxi. Ocean Springs, Edwards, Gal
weston and other points, the local ex-
perts NOT only failed to report the dis
ease, but denied its existence. The fear
of injuring a towns trade may become
the source Of a national epidemic. SO
strong is the local feeling sometimes
that physicians take their lives in their
hands when they announce the pres
ence of the disease. All this would be
changed if federal officers were in
charge. Now that the west and north
Is feeling the inspiration Of business
revival the south is commercially par
alyzed, all because of the narrow selfish
ness of the local tradeSmen and the ab-
sence Of any authority that can cross
the state border. A national quaran-
tine would be measure of vast econo-
my to the nation.
In New York state the health officer
is supreme. The rigid quarantine at
Ellis Island, from which there is no APP
peal quite as much as the distance of
that port from infected districts, has
kept epidemics out of New York. The
same kind Of authority should exist at

SETH LEWIS DEFEAT.

There seems a general disposition to
criticise, if not condemn outright, Mr..
Plat for insisting ON the candidacy of
an out and out Republican for mayor
Of Greater New York. Plat is political
boss. That is conceded. But he is an
exceptionally long-headed leader. His
designation as ''Me Too Platf' in the
Conkling fiaSco was a mistake. He
probably inspired the fight against Gar
field and urged the designations himself.
In the late election he was bound TO
beat Mr.. Seth Low at any cost. Low Is
a bright man, a straight man, no doubt
but he is mugwump, nevertheless.

except as it is going his way. The de-
feat of Seth Low in his candidacy for
the mayoralty of New York removes a
formidable candidate for the presidency

convention, William ]. B. to the con-
trary. Had Mr.. Low been successful In
his race the chances are that no influ-
