The question of whether the
wife of citizen and a voter of
this State can exercise the right
of suffrage without naturaliza-
ton though she be foreign born
has been exercising the minds of
the people of Wallace, and the
opinion of the best lawyers seem
to be she can. One lawyer says:
1.-THE domicile of the husband is
necessarily the domicile of the
wife. If a woman be foreign
born, of the age of 81 years, has
resided in Idaho for six months
prior to election as the wife of a
man who is voter, she, by vir-
tue of these qualifications, is a
voter without taking out natur-
alization papers. Idaho World.

1t is strange that in these days
when questionable historical
characters are rehabilitated,
when King Henry Willis proved
to have been a Christian gentle
man and loving husband, when
Catiline is vouched for as a
Roman patriot, When Nero's
worst fault is shown to have
been that he sometimes allowed
his fiddle TO get out of tune, when
Benedict Arnold takes a high
place in the roll of brave heroes.
when Lucretia Borgia and Del
llah are celebrated for their
many virtues, when it is conclu-
sively proven that there was
much to admire in Judas Iscariot.
and when the famous opinion Of
Origen, the early theologian, that
the devil would some day be con
verified, is strengthened by proofs
that he has been grossly SANDER
ed; 1t is strange we say, that in
these times of charitable histor-
ical judgments the character of
the prophet Jonah remains under
cloud, as dark as ever.
1t is painful to observe, that
not only is he without defenders.
but his reputation suffers from
ridicule. So true is this that his
name is used as a kind of symbol
for the infiction of bad luck
The name Jonah is employed as
almost equivalent to the word
hoodoo.
Yet he was, from the best ac-
count we have, jealous, conscien-
tious, generous, enterprising, of
excellent judgment, a great ora
tor, a distinguished navigator
and a sterling moralist. He
scorned deceit. He preferred to
risk the perils of the deep rather
than endanger on his account the
lives of his fellow voyagers.
Though brave, he was prudent |
de took no foolhardy risks. But
when he delivered his celebrated
oration in Nineveh the whole CITY

1t is sad to think that little
Willie Rodney, aged z, is starry
ing to death while William Nc
Kinley, the man he helped cleo,
is eating dinners at $135 per
plate. Little Willie is the boy
orator who astonished and de-
lighted Californians with his
speeches and predictions about
Mckinley prosperity and nation
al honor last election time. In
his clear, childish treble, Willie,
perched upon an improvised
platform, drew vivid word pic
lures of resuscitated industry, of
mills teeming with brawny armed
and happy-hearted workmen, of
factories swarming with bright
eyed and joyous women and
girls. The fame of Willie spread
beyond his home and birthplace,
San Rafael. There was some
thing awe-inspiring in Willie's
prophetic utterances. Republi-
cans reverently barred their heads
before this child seer, and even
dyed-in-thewool Free Silver
Democrats were shaken in their
faith by Willie's speeches. Many
of them murmured, Even out of
the mouths of Babes" while 9TH
ers of a still more impressionable
nature whispered, "A little child
shall lead them"
But 0 what a difference in the
morning, and o what a difference
after election. During the period
while Willie was dealing the
death blow to free silver and ut
tering prosperity epigrams, his
mother sat in her pretty, rose
covered cottage in San Rafael
and made blouse waists and
knlckerbockers for her precious
son. But those happy days are
now past. Today Willie's moth
er is washing clothes for a scant
plttance and Willie is living in a
dreary back room in SanFran-
cisco tenement. Neither mother
nor child has tasted meat for
many a long day. They have
forgotten the taste of it. Willie's
olouses and knickerbockers are
patched and darned from head to
foot.-The New Time.
