this indignity which moved Mrs Stan
ton and Lucretia Mott to return tc
America and call convention of Won

Not long after this event Mrs. Black
we'll had her bitter experience. She had
been ordained as pastor of Congrega
tional church. being the first woman tc
occupy pulpit, and had been chosen a
delegate to a temperance convention.
She was grudgingly given a seat after a
fight which lasted for two days and a
half and was then allowed ten minutes
to address the body. The delegates were
all ministers of the gospel, but for three
hours they Missed the lone woman who
stood on the platform vainly trying to
make herself heard Not for one mo.
ment did the good men cease their Kisses
and catcalls until it was time for the
convention to adjourn, and then Mrs.
Blackwell, defiant and Indignant, left
the platform, not crushed, but with u
determination to devote the rest of her
life to the righting Of this wrong.
And what do you suppose she had
done to merit this treatment? Here is
her career: She was born IN Monroe
county, N. Y, in 1926. Her parents
were early English colonists and Revolu-
tionary patriots. Miss Brown Joined
the Congregational church when only 8
years old, and at l6 she taught school.
Later she taught several branches in a
seminary in order to pay the expenses
of collegiate course at Oberlin. She
was graduated from that college at the
age Of 22, and at 20 had completed the
theological course When she asked for
license to preach, such as was given
other students, it was refused because
she was woman, and she was told to
preach or keep silent on her own re-
sponsibility. She took the responsibility
and preached whenever she got chance.
Two years later, in spite of many obsta-
clea, she was ordained as preacher by
the Congregational church of South
Butler, N. Y. Soon after this she began
to doubt the soundness of the theolog.
ical doctrines which she was preaching,
and in 1854 resigned her pulpit. Later
she became Unitarian She was mar.
ried to Samuel G. Blackwell in 1856
and is the mother of several daughters
She now lives in Elizabeth, N. j.
Mrs. Blackwell has written several
books on sociological and scientific sub.
jects and has frequently appeared on the
lecture platform. She has taken q live
ly interest in the movement which was
started by the declaration of independ-
ence made by the convention of women
held in Waterloo, N. Y, in the summer
of lS4S, and at the coming celebration
of that event will be one of the two
pioneers who will tell the women of to.

MANY DiSAPPoINTMENTS.
Result of Sherin-EIect Cradles SeIec-


tions.
The publication of Sheriff-elect
Cradles corps of assistants in THE
ARGUS Saturday caused a great howl
in the repu blicau ranks, and it will
take months to heal the sores that are
made in consequence of the appoint
ments. OF course all the applicants
could not receive favora bic considera-
tion-there were too many OF them,
no less than 200, it is said-but each
one had the backing of his friends,
and naturally was confident that he
would catch one of the plums until
Mr.. Cralle broke the news contained
on his little slate. Probably the most
put-out man in the bunch is Capt.
William Ransom. He had reason to
believe he had a cinch on first deputy
IL reward for his withdrawal from he
shrievalty nomination race, and the
work he afterward performed for
the successful candidate. His friends
declare that before cleo he was
confident enough to wire President
Mckinley that his address would con-
time TO be the court house for the
next four years.
Billy Baker. too, was after the first
deputy, but about Saturday he re-
ceived urgent notice that his services
were required among the stock at
Springfield. He will hustle back to-
night before the limit on his ticket eX-
pires. Phil Miller, too. who has got
enough of the taste of blood to make
him all the more ravenous for his old
berth, is already casting about for
a mayoralty candidate TO tie TO next
spring. Joshua Hasselquist has again
come out of the slim end of a big
horn, and until further notice, at least.
will be found at his old post in the
Seventh ward. Steve Hull viii prob
ably lie just as wellsatisfied that he is
not hampered by the requirements of
official duties in his conduct of his
never sleep agency.
But these are only the most promi-
nent ones who turned the joys of vic
tory on the part of SherifT-elect Cralle
into days and nights of intense anX-
icty.
There were others, as intimated be-
fOre-plentv of them who were des-
perate in their determination to he of
service to the sheriff-elect, and ready
To resent any evidence of understand
ton of the value of their services to
him and the party, to say nothing of
the Office, and while, as stated
Saturday, Mr.. Cralle showed wis
dom in disposing of the perpleX-
tiles that surrounded him as
soon as possible, he has not
succeeded in relieving himself of the
annoyance that is sure to come not
only from the questionable move in
bringing Moline down with him as the
whole thing, but in the weakness
shown in the main appointment that
Rock Island did get. Had he searched
the town over he could not nave
found in the ranks of the republican
party a more confessediy poor repre-
sentative-actually inoiIensively so.
However, we wish Mr.. Cralle no
ill luck. Rather would we extend
sympathies to one whose troubles are
so apparent.

RIGHTS OF THE RIVER,
Present Council May Be Expected
to Continue to Guard
Them.
WILL BE NO MORE ENORCADHMENTs

Terminal Company VIII Present "A
Proposition Which Should Be Cauti-
ou.Iy Considered Before it Is Passed
UPon-The Leyee Is OF First Import
ance.
The city council will, from all pres
ent indications. receive another appli-
cation from the Terminal company to-
night for additional tracks on the
river front. This will come in the
form OF an ordinance. 1t viii, it is
understood, not seek exactly the same
privileges sought in the resolu-
ton which the council recently
declined to permit. The situation
on First avenue now, however, Is so
surrounded by possibilities that the
aldermen caunot he too cautious in
granting further track rights there of
any kind whatever, and the municipal
fathers rightly feel chat any ordinance
looking to more tracks. no matter by
whom sought, should bee carefully
and thoroughly considered to the end
that all NAV know actually what an
additional track near Seventeenth
may mean or what it NAV lead to. 1t
is safe TO assume. therefore. that no
oEulUduct Will De EdliIOdueu through
the council in night, but will be
properly referred, that it may be con-
sidered by the council as well as by
the public before it is put upon its
passage. The mere seeing of alder
men in advance and acquainting
them with il by one Interested in the
ordinance should not warrant the
council in taking responsibility for
action where there is so serious Il
question involved.
Levee of First Consideration.
The levoe is of first consideration.
and the aldermen have received COM
pliments without number and fully
mcrited for its stand OF 10 DAYS ago; in
refusing to permit any matter that
would affect it to- be rushed through.
The city is doing herself proud in the
improvement that is being made there
and the aldermen will see the dav that
they will be not only proud OF what they
have done to protect the proper APP
proaches to the river, but of prevent
ing any corporation from marring
what is being done. No more tsacks
to block the foot of Seventeenth street.
and no more encroachment east Sew
enenteeHth is the safest cour for the
aldermen to pursue.
