We commend to all believers in and
advocates of women suffrage a letter
from the late William Il. Gladstone on
the subject and published on the first
page Of the GRAPHIC. What he SAYS ap-
plies to this country as we'll as to Eng
land. The document is written in that
clear, forcible manner which character
lied all the papers by the greatest states
man of tho century. Perhaps the most
striking points brought out in the letter
are these: There has never within my
knowledge been a case in which the
franchise has been extended to a large
body Of persons generally Indifferent to
it," and II think it is impossible to deny
that there have been ami are women III
diyidually ft for any public office how
ever masculine its character: just as
there are persons under the age of
twenty-one better fitted than many Of
those beyond it for the discharge Of the
duties Of full citizenship. In neither
Gaze does the argument derived from
exceptional instances seem to justify the
abolition Of the general rule" 8&

A Telephone Line.

J.W. Warnshuis was in town yester-
day in the interests of a proposed tele-
phone line from Chamberlain to Mitch
ell. The line has already been put in
from Chamberlain to Oacoma and con-
%nectioDs will soon be made with tie
Indian agencies. To promote the enter.
prise Mr. Warnshnis has lett with A. C,
Whitbeck, banker, and the Kimball State
Bank fifty coupon books which are to be
sold at $40 each. The books entitle the
holder to the use of the lire, to thu
amount. From Mitchell connections are
made with Sioux City, Sioux Falls and
most eastern points with which this
community does business. More Of the
project will be said later. 1t is enough
now to say that the enterprise will be Of
great utility and advantage and we hope
to see it win. The line will be put in
when the books are disposed of.

The couchee-couchee

A party who had witnessed the muscle,
OF cOu~chee-cOuchee dance on the Mid
way, tells me that it has been robbed OF
all its indicate trimmings, and is now
considered fully respectable. Gentle
men and their wives now attend it with
out fear of embarrassment. OF course,
my informant says, there is an oriental
freedom about 1t that you wouldn't ex-
pect to find in an American drawing
room, but nevertheless one can get out
without an impression OF having robbed
anyb0dY's hen rcOst, such as used to
obtain after visiting the Chicago Mid
way. That is, there is no occasion to lie
to Your wife about where you have been.
Madison Outlook.
The editor OF the GRAPHIC will never
forget the first exhibition Of thisnature
given at the world's fair on the opening
day of the "Streets of Cairo show. Not
a living soul outside OF the people in the
show apparently had any idea Of the
STYLE OF the performance and there was a
perfect jam of ladies in the crowd seek
ing admit:ance to the theatre for an
hour before the doors were open. When
they were finally thrown open tho crowd
poured in pell-mell. filling every avail
seat in a few mements and jamming the
aisles full with the rest. Most of the
men gave up their seats to the ladies,
who were we'll crowded down toward the
front. WheRsi it came time for the now
well known native couchee-couchee
dance to take place there sat all the
young women and stately danes ms in
nocent of what was coming as any flock
OF lambs. Talk about a s%keedaddle, q
Bull Run! Nothing ever equalled the
stampede that broke loose. The way the
women poured out of that theatre was a
sight to tickle m elephant. Meanwhile
the girls on the stage were innocent Of
anything wrong and kept on giving a
little the hottest dance this country ever
saw in public and never saw again.
There was such a roar about 1t In TIE
Chicago papers next day that a dozen
policemen were required to keep back
the crowd clamoring for admission to
the next performance. But there never
was another like the first ane. and the
present couchee-couches dance is a tame
affair in comparison.

The Republican County Convention
q Picnic for ]. M. Greene.

The Republican County Convention
a Picnic for I'M. Greene.
The Republican county convention at
Chamberlain Wednesday was a complete
victory for the Kittridge machine and an
easy walkaway for his lieutenant III this
county, the Hon. Joseph NJ. Greene. 1t
was a case Of the many against the one,
in which the one had q complete organ
haitian and the many We're without q
capable head on which to unite.
The convention was called to order by
Postmaster Stevens OF Chamberlain. j..
B. Long was nominated for chairman by
the %antl-Greene men and l. j.. Bates by
the Greene followers. The ballot stood
"A for Bates and "a for Long. This set
tied it. j. NJ. Greene then nominated
j. w. Lawless, one OF his bitterest opp0-
nents for secretary, which was declined.
Geo. N. Covertson was then nominated
for the desk.
Upon taking the chair Bates made a
short talk. After the naming Of the
committees a motion to elect eight dele
gates to the state convention by ballot
carried. Previous to the ballot, John II.
King made q speech raking the Hon. j.
Nj. Greene fore and aft. The Colonel
characterized him as egotistical, over
bearing and dominating in his methods
to an extent that was running the party;
said that he was not a good Republican
and was treachercus to Foote in the 1894
campaign. 10 this Greene made q short
reply. Said that he had been a true Re
publican all his life; that he was NJ
orator like King; that il the convention
wanted to turn him down, all we'll ant
good; that he would be a Republican
still. King said that he had neuer asket
a favor of a Republican convention IL
the county, but if they wanted to turf
him down, he'd be q good Republican
too.
John A. Stroube presented The follow
ing eight: Geo. Hall, j. II. King, Franz
Jones, A. S. Stuyer, Pete Gunderson, D
A. Church and w. M. Farnsworth.
Greene named these: A. S. Stuyer, J
f. Anderson, C.S. Blodgett, Geo. Hall
R. II. Somers, L. II. Nedrow, /. J.. Bate:

: This latter ticket won by an average
