What is more, according to the Daily

reduce the explosion to the act of two
men, or even to one Individual.

Mark Twain in more Tramps Abroad


In New Zealand, women have the
right to vote for members of the Legis-
lature. The law extending suffrage to
them went into effect in 1893. The pop
ulation of Christ Church Census OF
1S9D was 31,454 The first election
under the law was held in November,
1898. Number of men who voted,
6.313; number of women who voted,
$3.50 These figures ought to convince
us that women are not as Indifferent
about politics as some people would
have us believe. In New Zealand, as
whole, the estimated adult female
population was 1895; of these 1O9,-
461 qualified and registered their names
on the rolls-7S23 per cent of the
whole. Of these, 90,290 went to the
polls and voted. Do men ever turn
out better than that in America or else
where? Here is remark to the other
sex's credit. tool take it from the
official report:
"A feature Of the election was the
orderlinesS and sobriety of the people.
Women were in no way molested'
In the New Zealand law occurs this:
The word person wherever 1t occurs
throughout the act includes woman"
That is promotion, you see. BY that
enlargement of the word, the matron
with the garnered wisdom and expert
ence of fifty years becomes at one Jump
the political equal of her callow kid of

Memorial Day Number of the Ledger

Memorial Day Number of the Ledger.
The Memorial Day number of that
ever-popular weekly, the New York
Ledger, presents a combination of pic
torial and literary attractions that make
a strong appeal to patriotic readers. A
beautiful picture Of a returned veteran
clasping in his arms his little grand
daughter, forms the cover A large
double page picture of the Oregon and
her commander, Captain Charles F.
Clark, and her senior officers, is given
on the center pages. The harbor of
Havana and the celebrated MORO Cas-
tie, the fortress and dungeon of the
Spaniards, and historical and descrip-
tive article, with illustrations, fills an
other attractive page. An eloquent de-
scription of the battle of Lake Erie, by
the celebrated American historian
George Bancroft, a timely and interest
ing republication from an early num-
Der of the Ledger, gives an account of
one of the greatest naval victories in
our annals. This number OF the Ledger
calls attention of the inventor of the
monitor, Theodore r. Timby, LII. D.,
of Philadelphia, one of those public ben
efactors who somehow or another has
hitherto failed to receive the honor and
just recognition Of his countrymen for
an invention which saved the country
in an hour of extreme peril, and revo-
lutionized naval warfare throughout the
world.
