Another Woman in Politics.

Another woman has entered politics
with a grand flourish. She Is the wife
of one of the members of the Syra-
cuse City Council, and she announces
in loud soprano notes that she intends,
hereafter, to be member de facto Of
that body herself.
Metaphorically speaking. she is going
to lift up her skirts and wade into the
political slime with which she declares
Syracuse is covered to the depth of sew
eral feet She is going to punch a
hole into something and thus have this
corruption drained Off.
We are sorry to hear of this. We
want purity in politics, but we don't
want any woman to soil her garments
while the purifying process is going on.
We think politics can be purified even
without feminine shrieks.
Let some gallant man, if there is a
gallant man in Syracuse, whisper to
this lady that she is too sweet for the
business she proposes to undertake. A
case as desperate as this one requires a
desperate remedy, and we have-judg
ing from what we know of women who
think they were born to reform-sug-
gested the most desperate one we can

started that 'Copin' is the diminutive
of Jacob. Thus, in the Pipe Roll of the
10th of Henry H.. we have Copin the

Szulc mentions a rumor that the COM
poser's father, Nicholas, was the nat
ural son of a Polish nobleman, who.
having gone with King Stanislas 10
Lorraine, adopted there the French
name of Chopin. The inscription on
the composers tombstone at Pere La

refugee, presumably from the Edict Of
