WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN IOWA.
Battle-Ground Selected for the Next
Grand Campaign.
Chicago Tlmes-Herald)


Iowa has been selected by the women
suffragists as the storm-centre for their
national movement. More favorable rally
ing ground could not be selected. If the
cause of equal suffrage will not take root
in the soil Of Iowa it is useless to try to
propagate it elsewhere.
Iowa is populated by progressive and
intelligent people. The percentage or
iliteracy according to the census of $780,
was $50. which was lower that that of any
other State in the Union, except Nebras-
ka and Wyoming. Iowa has within its
boundaries large number of cities which
are centres of business thrift, culture. and
education. In public and private educa-
tional Institutions the State occupies front
rank among western commemorative.
In its twenty-three colleges it has 40 in
structors and 6,SS7 students. 1t has more
school-teachers than any other State in
the Union, with the single exception Of
New York State. According to the statis-
tician OF the United States Bureau of
Education it has % III teachers, with 3d.
0j2 enrolled pupils.
If acceptance Of the theory that
woman's suffrage is necessary TO the per.
petuity of our institutions depends upon
education and the spread OF popular in
telligence, as its advocates claim, the pro-
position could not be submitted to a more
friendly tribunal than the voters Of the
Hawkeye Commonwealth. In politics the
people OF Iowa have a reputation for
weighing public questions intelligently
conservatively, and judiciously. II they
are permitted by Inc Legislature TO vote
upon the proposed amendment TO the
state Constitution, We may be assured
that their verdict will represent careful
and conscientious investigation.
In selecting battle-ground for the fight
that II TO be made preliminary to ma
tional contest the women have chosen
wisely. The Legislature should grant their
appeal to submit the question to vote of
the people. That is all the advocates or
equal suffrage are asking for at this time.
The verdict OF no other State in the
Union will command such respect from
the nation as the verdict OF Iowa.

A REGIMENT RAISED BY KISSES.
The story of Jean, Duchess or Cor
don, and Gordon HlghIanders.
CMarch Pall-Mall Magazlne.)

March Pall-Mall Magazlne)
The somewhat romantic interest in this
beautiful and romantic woman Jean,
vlved. when the brave deeds of the Cor
don Hghlanders have been so conspicu-
ously brought before the notice OF the
public; for it was entirely owing 10 the
Duchess Of Gordon's loyal activity that
this regiment was originally raised in
Aberdeenshire. The writer (as one OF
her great-grandchildren) may perhaps
be pardoned for the feeling of pride in
being permitted to recall many of the
personal incidents and traditions sur
rounding those first recruits for this most
popular regiment, which now bears upon
its colors the historic names Of almost
every battlefield where British troops
have fought and conquered.
Married to Alexander, Duke or Cor
don. in 1861. Duchess Jean fairly took
London by storm. and at once became
one of the great leaders in society. Her
reputation for wit and energy was al
most proverbial and had been well estab
lished during the first twenty years Of
her married life; so it was not surprising
that the first rumors Of a possible French
invasion quickly reached the Duchess,
and were apparently discussed in royal
circles, for it is said that when the
Prince Regent spoke of the imperative
necessity of increasing very largely the
number Of His Majesty's forces. the
Duchess Joined I'm the discussion, ana
made a wager with the Prince Regent
that she would raise a regiment before
his Royal Highness, though she did not
disclose the special manner in which she
proposed TO gain the victory.
At this time the Duchess must nave
been over 10 years of age, and apparently
still as irresstibly charming as IN the
earlier DAYS OF her life; while most GER
family her energy was undated, as III

A WIFE'S ANXIETY.
Yet. It may well be mentioned, MISS
Dorothy Tenant has had time OF sur
fering-of anxiety, which was entirely
her own. She became engaged to the
famous explorer, Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley,
before he left England TO proceed 10 the
rescue of Emn Pasha, though the TACT
was kept secret, and consequently she
suffered three years OF great suspense.
Most of US can well remember the rumors
which came through the press that inc
traveller had been lost in the almost inn
penetrable wilds Of mid-Africa. Az one
time il was said that he had not succeed
ed in traversing the forest; at another
that he had been killed by the savages.
or again that he had been killed at khar-
toum.
When one thinks OF the interest wnicn
was everywhere felt in the fate OF STAN
lev. and the way--very lar from any
thing approaching callous indinerence-in
which that interest was expressed, one
can family imagine the sense OK
alternating hope and fear which
must have dominated the mind
and heart OF the not less coura-
geous Miss Dorothy Tenant. Yet
no one had any notion that she had
more special cause than the rest or va
for her passionate interest ana anxiety.
The secret was well-kept, and only on
the safe return or the explorer from
Darkest Africa" i'm 1880, did the puplie
know that Miss Tenant had been his AZ
fianced bride, and had been watching
and waiting during the whole OF tnoss
three anxious years.
The brightness OF the dawn, however
was in fitting contrast TO the darkness
ana gloom OF those three years OF
anxiety, and on the 18th OF July. $780, the
two were married in the precincts Of
Westminster Abbey.

A supporter of the Crimean war for the
