PROGRESS OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE.


II is sometimes said that the equal suf-
frage movement is losing ground. Few
except those who have made study of
the subject realize how fast it is actually
gaining ground. On this point let the
facts speak for themselves:
Sixty years ago women could not vote
anywhere. In 1898, Kentucky gave
school suffrage to widows. In 1861 Kan
sas gave it to all women. In 1869, Eng
land gave municipal suffrage to single
women and widows, and Wyoming gave
full suffrage to all women. School suf-
frage was granted in 1875 by Michigan
and Minnesota, in 1876 by Colorado, in
1873 by New Hampshire and Oregon, in
1879 by Massachusetts, in 1880 by New
York and Vermont. In 1881 municipal
suffrage was extended to the single
women and widows of Scotland. Ne
braska gave school suffrage in 1888 and
Wisconsin 10 1885. Iu 1856 school suf-
frage was given In Washington, and
municipal suffrage to single women and
, widows in New Brunswick and Ontario.
In 1887, municipal suffrage was extend
ed to all women in Kansas, and school
suffrage in North and South Dakota,
Montana, Arizona, and New Jersey. In
the same year, Montana gave taX-paylng
women the right to vote upon all ques-
tons submitted to the taxpayers. In
1889, municipal suffrage was extended to
single women and widows in the province
of Quebec. In 1891 school suffrage was
granted in Illinois In 1893, school suf
frage was granted in Connecticut, and
full suffrage in Colorado and New Yea
land. In 1894, school suffrage was
granted in Ohio, bond suffrage in Iowa,
and parish and district suffrage in Eng
land to women both married and single.
In 1895, full suffrage was granted in
| South Australia TO women both married
and single In 1856, full suffrage was
granted in Utah aud Idaho. la 1897, the
! legislatures of Washington aud South
Dakota passed full suffrage amendments,
in each case by more than a twothirds'
vote. In 1898, municipal and county
suffrage were granted to the single
women and widows of ireland, and
Louisiana gave taX-paYiug women the
right to vote npOn all questions sub
mitted to the taX-payers.-Woman's

Spirit Of the Dress.
A TERRIBLE PROJEoTlLE,
595952S95259S9SeS95r

1t has been often predicted that one
consequence of the astonishing develop
ment made in recent years in the making
of weapons and explosives would be that
war would be made so terrible and dead
quently than formerly; so that inven-
tions intended for the prosecution of war
would actually contribute to peace.
If this view is correct, perhaps the
Lyddite shell, which was first used by
the British in the recent battle at
Omdurman, ought to be described as a
peacemaker. 1t is, at all events, a terri
BILE destroyer. 1t is said that a single
shell exploded in an iron mosque near
the Mahdi's tomb, in which llS dervishes
were gathered, and of the whole number
only II were left alive.
The explosive with which the shell is
charged takes its name from Lydd, the
place where it was tested. Lyddite is
manufactured from carbolic acid, treated
with nitric acid, the product being the
terribly explosive picric acid. The in
vention consists in a method of fusing
picric acid, so as at once to increase its
power and make it easier to handle
When 1t is burnt in the open air
Lyddlte disappears quickly with a
bright flame, but with only a slight eX.
plosion. But when 1t is confined and ex-
ploded by defamation it becomes so APP
pallingly destructive that in the expert
ments at the testing no person was al
lowed within an area of eight hundred
yards of the point at which the projectilt
was to burst. Within four hundred
yards the vibrations caused by the ex
plosion of a large Lyddite shell were

positively no assurance that just such
outbreaks will not occur with more or
less frequency so long IA the Indian race
remains; and statistics show that the
race Is so nearly holding its own that ex-
termination will be matter of very many
years. AS the superior race has Invaded
the Indians land and crowded around
him he has been shifted from his tribal
home and his territory has become more
and more restricted. The process of
compression will reach limit some day,
and then the government will be obliged
to face squarely the problem which 1t
has evaded in one way or another since
the infancy of the republic.
Early in the nations history the
pioneers recognized the abstract right of
the natives to a claim upon the soil.
The records are full of curious treaties
drawn between the chiefs and the whites,
and one of the quaintest of these doc
uments, signed by John Quincy Adams,
relates to the Chippewas, whose de-
scendants are now making trouble. In
1884 congress passed the Indian inter-
course act, which was predicated on the
tribal constitution and recognized the
tribal chiefs as the parties to be dealt
with in treating with Indians. 1t was
one of the acts which enabled the gov
eminent to maintain for nearly forty
years the boast that no Indian title had
ever been annulled "as by conquest"
But conquest in fact, if not in name,
was inevitable, and when in 1871 con-
gress passed an act THAT no tribe or
nation shall be recognized as a power,
nation or tribe with which the United
States may contract by treaty" the
process of extinguishing Indian titles
could not be performed In any other
way. "Cession by consent" was i'm
practicable; officially there was no
recognizable authority to whom to cede.
No adequate substitute was provided,
and while the Indians actually lived
in tribal form their organization existed
not by law but by suf1erance. They had
no status save as individuals; yet as
individuals they themselves recognized
only tribal organization. Their con-
dition was practically that of anarchy.
Since that time the inevitable dlspos-
session of the Indian has proceeded by
various plans and eXpedients, but always
with the same result. If the case of the
"fye civilized tribes" be excepted a
satisfactory political status has never
been found for him. He occupies at
tention chiefly as an obstacle. When
the OBJ tacle becomes too much OF
an interference it Is showed aside to
become an obstacle somewhere else.
While the Indian continues to occupy
this relation, or until he becomes civil
lied, he will always cause more or less
loss and disturbance TO the whites, aud
i'm turn, he will break out in fits OF
resentment. He is not sanity crea-
ture at best, but it is only fair to admit
that he has been badly mismanaged from
every standpoint of economics OF
politics Record.

INDIAN TROUBLES

While the uprising at Leech lake
results directly from an attempt to punish
offending redskins for cOntraband dealing
in whiskey the outbreak belongs to a class
of disturbances likely to arise on any
one of dozen preteXts. The grievance
against the whites is something en-
during and lies fundamentally in the
system upon which the Indian question
has been handled. 1t is an interesting
fact that the Pillager band of Chippe-
was, which is causing the present trouble,

RICE AND PEA COAL.
To Use the Material in Dirt Heaps of the
Coal Regions.

Coal Regions.
Quite a large quantity of rice coal
is now going to market. 1t costs at
the mines 25 cents a ton. It is the
cheapest fuel in the world of its kind,
but the railroad companies charge Sl.35
a ton to haul it fifty or one hundred
miles.
Rice coal is the product of the dirt
banks Mountains of coal dirt OBJ
struct the anthracite regions near the
collieries, and men have set up big
washeries where the water supply is
adequate, and wash out and screen
out the fine particles of coal until the
pure fuel as small as rice, clean and
FURNISHED, comes to the surface on big
platforms, and is dried for the market.
The washers can produce this rice coal
at about Is cents a ton, and their profit
is 10 cents a ton. The washers are
satisfied with the profit, but they are
hampered by high freight rates.
Rice coal is a modern size entirely
So is buckwheat, the next size to rice.
These two sizes were not known in the
commercial market until men began to
wash out the mountains of coal dirt,
supposed to be so much dead waste.
Commercial sizes of coal are: Rice,
buckwheat, pea, chestnut, stove, bro
ken, steamboat and lump. The uses
of lump and steamboat coal, large sizes
for ships, are well understood. Stove
and egg, or broken are used for cellar
heaters, and chestnut for kitchen
ranges. Many people do not under
stand the uses of pea coal, and at this
time when winter buying is thought of
the study of pea coal is interesting.
A few years ago very little pea was
sold. People said it was dirt. Now
they have small pea and large pea.
Both sizes have sprung into a very
large demand and the sales are in
creasing as the subject is understood

wife, talented poetess, under the pen
name of Stella, of Lackawanna,"
wrote many popular poems, some of
which since her decease have been
published in book form. In the family
are four children: Mrs. John L. Hull.
Charles, Louis A. and Carrie, who, be-
came the wife of Judge Edward c.
Lowell, of Elgin, ILL.,, and died in the
winter of 1896.
Colonel Watres was born at Mt.
Vernon, what is now Winton. At an
early age he was obliged to leave
school and seek employment. Only by
great effort did he prepare himself for
the practice of the law. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1878, and for
twelve years was in the active and sue
cessful practice of his chosen profess
sion, nine years of which he was coun-
ty solicitor of Lackawanna county. His
large interest in local enterprises in
terfered so much with his large legal
practice that he has confined his prac-
tice to corporation. equity and orphans
court cases. For twenty-five years he
has now been an officer and director
in the bank which he first entered as
clerk and is now serving as president
of the company, as well as of the
Spring Brook Water Supply company,
the Mansfield Water company. the
Brookside Coal company, and the
Scranton and Pittston Traction COM
pany. He is a stock holder and direc-
tor in numerous other enterprises in
Scranton and the Lackawanna valley,
and was president of the Scranton
Passenger Railway company, which he
assisted in organizing and which road
he built.
Public affairs have also claimed the
attention of Mr.. Watres, and from 1882
to 1890, he was a prominent member
of the state senate. He was lieuten-
ant governor from 1891 to 1895, being
| elected to the latter position by a Re-
| publican majority of 22.S65, while the
Democratic governor. Pattison, at the
same time was elected by a majority of
| 1900. He was eX-officio president of
| the Pennsylvania senate, and ex-officio
president of the board of pardons, and
by the act of general assembly was
made a commissioner from Pennsyl-
vania to the Worlds Columbian expo
sition, and subsequently vice presi-
dent of the board. In August, 1891
! ne was elected chairman OF, Ine Re-
publican state committee. AS is well
known Colonel Watres did not seek
the colonelcy of the Eleventh regiment
his time was too much occupied by
private affairs. His call to the COM
mand was unanimous, because It wa.
felt that it would be a real benefit e
the guard.
