Woman In Politics,

The Boise Statesman makes the
following suggestions to the men of
the state relative to the position
that the women of Idaho occupy as
voters and participants in future
political affairs of the state:
1t is quite common to hear some
one at political meeting declare
that an invitation should be ex-
tended to the women to participate.
No invitation ia needed the women
are voters and have just as much
right in political meetings as the
men. An invitation extended by
men to women would imply some
superior right, which does not exist.
All that men have to do is to see
that the political gatherings are
called ut such times and at such
places that women can attend with.
out discomfort. If there is club
organized it should be done with
the clear understanding that women
are to join if they wish, and the
meetings of the club should be held
amid such surroundings that women
may attend without annoyance.
Perhaps there will not be as many
women az men taking part in polit-
ical affairs, but so many as have
the time and inclination should step
forward and enroll themselves in
the work; but no invitation 10 in
order from a sex whose claim of
has been swept into the
rubbish heap.
The committees must see to it
that the primaries are held in suit
able places, and ut every step taken
thewoman voter must be recognized.
She will come forward as u candi.
date for delegate to the conventions
and will demand a place on the
She will participate
in political management. She will
not ask any ones permission to do
so, and she will not overlook any
ono who may proceed upon the
theory that she should wait to be
invited by the masculine voter.

AMERICANS LEAVING HAVANA.
Slightest Show Of Weakness by This Gov
ernmsnt May Result In . Fear
full Masancrn.

Karl Decker writes the ST. Louis
Republic from Key West under date
of Feb. 25th as follows:
A certain indication that the
Americans in Havana are expecting
trouble is found in the exodus from
that city now taking place.
When l arrived in Key West this
morning | found nearly a dozen
Americans had known in Havana,
as we'll as tho wives of several
American officials and newspaper
men. Dr.. Drummer, the Marine
Hospital Inspector, has sent his wife
and children away from Havana
and they are now here on their way
home to Georgia. DR.. Drummer
became convinced that serious
trouble must sooner or later result
in Havana and did not care to have
bis family with him when the out.
break came.
Every American in Havana is at
this time in deadly peril, and if it
DO not safe to send a warship into
Havana harbor, then = part of the
feet should be sent to lie off the
city on the seaside. There could
be no possible chance OF destruction
from torpedoes, while the guns OF
the warship could, if necessary, be
turned to the city.
Knowing the Spaniards as I. do,
it is my firm conviction that the
slightest sign of weakness on our
part would DO the signal for a riot
Gus slaughter in Havana by the
side of which the massacre of St.
Bartholomew would DO . mere
street affray.

'Weyler Wants American Blood,

General Weyler is thirsting for
American blood. He has written Q
letter to the Queen regent Of Spain
urging her to declare war against
the United States to resent the in.
suits which he alleges has not been
inflicted on Spain but on her mill
tary commanders. In his letter
Weyler says:
From bis high position, the exec
utive Of a foreign power at the SOL
emn moment of the opening of ito
Congress, has uttered insults against
the army of Spain of so gross a
nature that l can hardly believe
they will be permitted to pass with
out the energetic protest of the
government of your Majesty.
"The heroic soldiers who are
shedding their generous blood in
the fields of Cuba to defend the
sovereignty of Spain have been in
suited in q coarse and cowardly
manner before the whole civilized
world and treated as though they
