| ton, on which practical unanim1ty on
the part of the senate can be obtained,
were quite active, and when the day
closed felt that they had made appre-
ciable progress. There was joint
meeting of the leading members of the
steering committee of the various par
ties during the day In the rooms of the
committee on appropriations, in which
the whole situation was canvassed and
the reasons for prompt action in the
senate after the matter is once taken
up were gone over much as they had
been in preceding meetings. The man
ayers of this movement are endeayor-
Ing to secure reversal of the decision
of the committee on foreign relations
to report for both independence and
Intervention, but they do not yet count
upon q majority of the committee,
though they assert that they have made
Roadway. They recognize the fact
that even with the majority of the COM
mittee their way there still would re-
main several senators, including Thur
ston, Pettigrew, Ballinger and Mason,
whom it will be very difficult to win
over to any line of action that does not
provide for the recognition of the pres
ent Cuban government, and who will
insist upon debating contrary policy.
They are finding fewer obstacles to
progress among democrats, populists
and silver republicans than among
straight republicans. The movement
TO consider the whole Cuban question
in executive session is gaining ground.
The senators who have looked up the
precedents find the only parallel case
to the present to be that when war was
declared against Great Britain in 1912
the declaration was considered In Sc
cret session.
The conservative senator's who are
opposed to any recognition Of the pres
ent Cuban government claim that ma :
jority of the committee on foreign rela-
tons will now support this position,
contenting themselves with general
declaration for the freedom and inde-
pendenee of the island, coupled with a
proposition for intervention in the pres
ent war between Spain and Cuba,
They count upon getting the votes OF
six of the II members of the commit
tee, and say this number may still be

War and naval preparations are pro-

details of preparation have b cen shaped
and there is little more to do than to
see these regularly executed While
there are many naval movements,
there has not yet been any decisive
order affecting the movement of the
heet. All is in Il state of expectancy in
this regard. A report was current Fri
day that the Spanish fleet of cruisers
had sailed from Cadiz for American
waters. There was no confirmation of
this either at the Spanish legation or at
the navy department, though it would
not be improbable, as the press dis
patches from Madrid Thursday night
stated that this formidable fleet was ex-
pected to sail Friday.

Madrid, April 0.-Senor Gullon, the

United States, the nunciature here has

"The Nunciature has higher hopes

The Basis Of Woman Suffrage,
By REV. W. J. sUcKow.

That the movement for political
equality should encounter great OPP
position need cause no surprise. The
conservatism of the world is mighty.
Anticipated opinions, entrenched in
venerable prejudices, are not easily
dislodged. Every new idea must ex-
poet to meet stubborn resistance, be-
fore 1t can win recognized place in
the worlds thought and life.
The political acknowledgment of
women is opposed with the same
weapons that have disputed every
other step of her progress: ut is
contrary to the Bible;" "It is opposed
to nature;;" ''She will become unsex-
ed;" ''The home will be undermined
and family life destroyed" That
none of these calamities have as yet
actually happened, although woman
is now IN possession of many privi-
leges and responsibilities once so
strenuously denied her, ought to as
sure a dispassionate observer that
the placing of the ballot in her bands
is not likely to result in the immedi-
ate disruption of society. or the dis
solution of the human race.
The basis of her appeal for the
right of franchise lies at the very
foundation of all democracy. When
the fathers of our republic reared the
political fabric of this nation, they
founded it upon the inoontestable
principle that governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of
the governed" Woman is among the
governed. Her property is subject
to taxation. In every respect she is
as closely identified with the interests
of government as the male citizen.
Every natural and logical considera-
ton that justifies the ballot in the
hands of man, will afford equal justi-
ication for the ballot in the hands of
woman.
Upon this line she must fight it out.
1t will probably take several 'ssum-
mers," but the victory waits at the
end. For in the light of human
history it may be affirmed with abso-
Lutte assurance that in the long run,
reason and justice invariably triumph
over passion and prejudice.

Sage Conclusions of a Democrat
ic Caucus.

Before adjournment of the legisla-
ture the following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the Demo-
Gratis OF the general assembly in joint
caucus:
Resolved, By the joint Democratic
caucus of the senate and the house of
representatives, the members being
about 10 depart from the capitol Of
the state, that we do most earnestly
request Democrats throughout the
state to Withdraw all support from
the newspaper known as the Des
Moines Leader, for the reasons among
Others that the said paper does not
and has not for several years last past
stood for and advocated Democratic
principles; that said paper has lent
its aid in the senate and house to Re.
publican members and Republican
measures; clandestine and in various
other Ways supported Republican
measures and failing to support meas
ures calculated to aid the great

been steadfast in its opposition to the
Chicago platform; aided in the defeat
of the Democratic mayor of Des
Moines; its managers consult with
Republicans how to defeat Democrat
ic measures and men; hence we are
for the above reasons fully persuaded
that the political opinions of the Des
Moines Leader, under its present
management always have a money
value, and for these reasons and for
many others the paper is not entitled
under its management to the conf
dence and esteem of the Democrats
of this state and that we recommends
ed that the Democrats of the state
lend their hearty co-ope-
ration and support to the establish
ment of Democratic daily paper in
Des Moines.

BILE old man who recommends the pres
ervation of peace. On the other hand,
the Catholics of North America would
never pardon such a disregard of the
vicar general of their church"
Pleased with Attitude of Powers.
The general tone of the evening pa
pers is one of satisfaction with the In
reference of the European powers, as
showing that the latter realize SPANS
determined attitude against further
concessions to America. Some doubt Is
expressed, however, as to the result of
| Intervention, lest the European con-
cert repeat the Cretan performance,
The concert has a weakness for the
stronger side ana may exact concession
from Spain offensive to Spanish pride
and harmful to Spanish interests.
Therefore, the papers warn the min
istry to trust to Spain only.
The Liberal says the government has
decided to send note to the pope
thanking him for his good offices and
begging him to persevere. But" the
Liberal adds, "the government does not
pledge itself to accept the papal de-
cision."
The attitude Of England at Washing
ton Is much approved, as she had hither-
to been regarded as siding unreservedly
with America.
So far as information yet obtainable
goes, the powers have not addressed a
collective note to Spain similar to that
presented at Washington, although 1t is
known that their representatives here
have long been working with the Span
ish government to secure peace.
No Further Negotiations.
A dispatch from Washington, lust
received, says no negotiations have been
initiated there and that none will be
taken abroad except through Gen.
Woodford, who is instructed to nego-
tiate only on the basis Of the note pre-
sented at the recent conference, name
ly, the immediate cessation Of hostili-
ties and the furnishing of aid to the re-
concentrates. With reference to the
above, Senior Sagasta says the Spanish
government had no intention of OPEN
ing further negotiations.
Result Is Doubtful.
Gen. Woodford has sent cable mes
sage to Washington setting forth that
the publication of his statement Thurs
day has done good In Madrid and will
do good throughout Spain, but the end
is still very doubtful. The general Is
working from sense of duty rather
than with strong faith in success. The
basis OF what hope is left rests upon the
evident fact that the sober sense Of
Spain is slowly coming to the front and
that In few days az few DAYS can
sun be had) we shall see "a crystalliza-
ton OF public sentiment that will slis.

Damage by Prairie Fires.

Huron. 8. D.. April obstructive
prairie fires swept over the southwest
ern portion Of Beadle and eastern part
of Hand county Thursday. Losses will
aggregate from $4,000 to $4,000. Some
FARMERS lost their homes, buildings,
machinery and stock. The town OF
Washington, 30 miles west of this place,
had close call. The burned district
covers many miles and the distress
would have been much greater except
tor rain, which began falling at sun
down. Much live stock was burned and
many people had narrow escapes.

1t can be said as matter of truth
that Spain has gained all there was
to have been gained from a policy of
delay and that the United States has
lost in proportion. The outcome of a
war is not changed but the expense
and the loss OF life will be greater.

Uncle Sans Purse.

Few people understand how enor~
nous is the trust placed under the care
Of Secretary Gage, for Uncle Sam does
SO much business as trustee for other
people that he keeps on hand in the
treasury about four times as much &C.
tual money as he can personally show
to his own credit. Secretary Gage is
an old banker and does not lie awake
nights thinking of the hundreds of
millions committed to his care, but
there have been secretaries who were
brought to the verge of nervous PROS
tration by the burden of the wealth
which nominally Is at their disposal,
but not dollar OF which they could
really spend without warrant Of law.
