WOMAN SUFFRAGE
THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED
THE STATE ASSOCIATION IN AN
NUAL CONVENTION.

The Woman's Suffrage State Assoca-
ton resumed its annual convention yes
terday in Golden Gate Han, and a large
gathering of ladies interested in the work
was present when Mrs. John F. Swift
president of the organization, called the
meeting to order. The session was de-
voted to papers, all touching on the
movement, which were read by several
delegates.
Mrs, B. o. Smith, In her remarks, said
that the association had done some good
running, but had not yet won a race. She
argued that, as there should be no taxa
ton without representation, therefore
the women should be granted the right
of political equality.
Miss S. Severance of Pacific Grove
scored Governor Gage for having refused
TO sign the school suffrage bill, and char
acterized the legal reasons which he gave
for not doing so as not borne out by the
constitution. Miss Severance showed
herself possessed of an intimate knowl-
edge of the law on the subject. and her
remarks were frequently punctuated with
applause.
Miss Mary G. Hay, the representative
of the National Womans Suffrage Asso-
citation, stated that full suffrc~p was re-
quired by the women of this nation. she
deprecated halfway measures as they
did not help to bring about the final is
sue.
Mrs. William Keith said that the States
that would not allow the women to vote
were not averse to collecting taxes from
the very ones who were disfranchised.
She was followed by Miss Clara Selling
heyde who spoke of the educational
boards that deprive teachers of their lust
salaries and made expensive contracts in
order to pay off their political debts. She
declared that the only equality of power
that woman could possess lies in the bal
lot Miss Solomons also read a paper,
and Mrs. Swift announced that there
would be a reception in the parlors of the
hall next Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
when all interested in Woman's suffrape
are requested to attend.
In the evening Mrs. Carrie CHAPMAN
Gait delivered an address entitled "a
Prophecy" in which she predicted the
ultimate victory for her sex in the great
battle now being waged for equal SUI
frage with man.
Resolutions presented by the committee
on resolutions, consisting of Mrs M. L.
w. Curtis, chairman, Mrs. Ella Sargant
and Mrs. Anna K. Spere, were adopted
favoring the appointment of women on
the San Francisco School Board, Board
of Health, State Insane asylums and
other institutions where women and chill
dren are cared for. Thanks We're extend

POLITENESS PAYS.

George II. Griffing, naval paymaster
who arrived on the government transport
ST. Paul, gave the customs officials some
trouble yesterday by peremptorly refus-
ing to make a statement as to his dutiable
baggage He gave the officials the i'm
preston that he was a favored parsonage
and they reported the matter to Deputy
Customs Surveyor Chauncey NJ st. John.
Mr. st. John at once caused the baggage
to be seized and brought to the Apprais-
er's store where 1t will be passed upon in
the usual way, Griffing being obliged to
make the regular custom-house entry.
1t has been the practice Of customs Off
Gals to extend every courtesy to United
States officers and soldiers so that the
entry of their baggage may be expedited.
Griffing, by refusin" TO fill out the blank
rendered him, will be put to considerable

ROBERT S. YOUNG.

QA2 Rrnn q urnIr NnN 6


90S Broadway, Nov. 8.
Robert S. Young, who locked his house
Keeper up Monday night, is not yet out of
the woods. Mrs Virginia McCord, the
victim of his remarkable method of get
ting rid of housekeeper, has a very in
teresting story to tell. The month that
she lived at the Young house was a reve-
latlon to her, and now she has learned
That Mr.. Young traded on her name as
his wife. She has several ACCOUNTS in her
possession which have been mailed to
Mrs. R. S. Young" and which Young
contracted without her knowledge or con-
sent.
L have most unimpeachable reputa-
ton, said Mrs. McCord this afternoon,
and the only construction l can put upon
Young conduct is that he was a lunatic
he certainly suffers from monomania-
women; For months l learn and have
PROOF That he has been advertising for an
eligible wife or housekeeper frequently
mentioning the particular religious de-
nomination which he prefers. He has even
made capital out of an alleged warm
friendship with Rev. DR.. Coyle, but Dr.
Coyle assures me that he is in no sense
sponsor for Mr. Young, and knows moth
ing about him. My attorney has under
consideration the adVisability of causing
Young arrest, and there are several
charges, so l am informed, that could be
brought against him. He has done me
housekeeper and that my character is
above reproach, but after his unwar-
ranted conduct last Monday night l
do not think he has any reason to ex-
pect any particular leniency from me.
When he answered my advertisement for
a situation the understanding was that
he was TO keep rooming house and /
was to take charge of it. But | found
afterward that 1t was not roomers he
wanted. His animosity toward me was
doubtless inspired by the fact that / pos
itively declined his many offers to go
buggy riding or to attend church with
him, and, further, he cannot tell the
truth and makes little effort to pay his
bills. AS l said before, 1 think he is rot
responsible"
Mrs. McCord is the wife of a San Fran
cisco real estate man, who went to the
Klondike two years ago. Six months
later Mrs. McCord heard from him and
received some money from him, but since
that date nothing has been heard of him
and Mrs McCord has been forced to earn
a living for herself and little boy. Before
this necessity came upon her she and her
husband lived in luxurious style at the
Sutherland in San Francisco.

on record yesterday by which the elegant
mansion in East Oakland, which was os-
tensibly purchased two years ago by Mr.
"Swiftwater Bill" has passed into other
hands. When Mr.. Gates bought the prop
erty he gave d trust deed to Hattie +
Henshaw, and because of the non-pay-
ment of the purchase price the property
passed TO the holder of the deed. The
latest transfer shows that Mrs Henshaw
has conveyed the property TO Carrie D.
Randolph. showing that the dream of
"SWiftWater" Gates in Oakland has en-

More than a century ago, the men of
the North and of the South made this
Union. Nearly forty years ago. the
men of the North went forth to battle
against those of the South, to save this
Union. And to-day, the patriots and
true Americans of the North must look
to the men of the South to make this
Union worth the saving.
A brief reference to history for the
last few years will readily demonstrate
the growth and sources of power and
the extent of the power of the Organized
Wealth of the United States. At the
close of the civil war the care and at
tention of the people North and South
were given to the re- establishment OF
their homes and the recuperation of
their fortunes. All conditions thereto
fore existing We're affected, and the
country was in a state of confusion and
disorder, and within few years after
the close of the war a large minority
in the National Congress was made up
Of those not elected by any constituent
cy, but dictated by those in power at
the seat of the federal government. The
close of that war found the national
government burdened for the first time
with debt of enormous proportions
amounting, ON March LIST, 1866, TO near.
ly three billions of dollars. This in
debtedness was evidenced by bonds
and these bonds were held mainly by
the representative of capital in the
East.
Circumstances were propitious. The
President and the Congress were sub
ject to influence. The refunding acts
were passed, by which the life OF the
bonds were extended again and again
and the payment of the national deb
correspOndingly deferred. Then were
enacted the law providing that thes,
bonds and the interest thereon should
be paid in coin. They were purchased
with greenbacks worth on an avelage
considering all the bonds, about 81
cents on the dollar in coin; the result
being that by legislation it was pro
vided that the people should pay to tho
bond-holders two dollars for every on,
dollar loaned TO the people in order t
carry on the war. besides paying In,
interest likewise in coin.
Familiarity in controlling legislation
emboldened the representatives of Or
