Essay on Female Suffrage.

During a recent examination of teach
ers in a nearby county, says the Jackson
vile Times Union, a colored woman, sit
ting for a seconds grade certificate. handed
in the following paper on female suffrage:
In regards to female suffrage, there
are thousands of women who suffer early
and also daily, and l am compelled to
say that the greater part of their suffer
age is brought by themselves. They either
eat too rapidly have their meals too IT.
regular, expose themselves too much, don't
have the proper exercise or wear clothing
that is entirely too light; any one of these
will bring about female suffrage.
1--WE would have more healthy and also
stronger women if they would only regard
the laws of health, Their treatment to
the physical body only goes TO show to
them that they are doing too much If
they would only hear. BY so doing we
can never make strong and robust women;
we will always be sckly and unhealthy.
Another great cause of female suffer
age is trying to keep up with every new
style or fashion that comes about weather
it agrees with our health or not, and that
is indeed a very poor way to take care
of the health.
when We loose our health we lose that
which no man can restore back to us
again. We may get better, but we will
never be as well as we once was"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem)
thus comments on ex-Gov. Altgeld's as
sertion that the Dreyfus verdict indicates
what might be expected in this country
under a policy of imperialism THE
trouble in France is not with the army
alone but in the fact that the army and
ease. In this country also the army and
the people are one, but they are one in
manhood instead of in muck. The Ameri-
can soldier is the American citizen
farmer artisan, scholar-no better and
no worse; and SANDER thrown at him is
SANDER of the whole people. If the Alt
gelds represented the American people
they would represent the American army,
and neither nation nor army would be
worth preserving, nor would they long
survive their own excuses"
The Farmer and Dairyman says: Our
great seaport. Savannah. is agitating the
establishment of a sugar and syrup re-
finery in that city. il is a wise move
ment and has our best wishes for its
complete and speedy success. As sweet
and desirable sugar cane can be pro-
duced in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama
as in Southern Louisiana and Cuba. Sy-
rup factories are needed and should be
erected in all of our cane raising neigh
borhoods. where farmers can carry their
cane Juice and have it converted into sy-
rup of uniform grade. Let the farmers
who raise cane combine and build these
refiueries just as cheese factories are
made in Wisconsin, Ohio and Canada"
The Nashville American (Dem) says:
when Cuba organizes an Independent
government under the protection of the
United States, this advice should be de-
livered to the Cuban leaders of parties
and factions in emphatic words and tone:
No revolutions, no Santo Domingo kind
of government will be permitted. Differ
ences must be settled peacefully and the
island must not again become menace
to the peace of the United States"
The Baltimore Herald has a highly cul-
tivated sense of humor II says: "The
spectacle of Havana establishing a quar-
antine against yellow fever has the ap-
pearance of huge joke, and yet ii is
merely the natural result of what has been
done there in the way of sanitation, and
what could have been done years ago."

1t is too soon yet to form an opinion as
to whether the yellow fever which has
made Its appearance at Port Tampa City
is likely to assume epidemic proportions,
but there appear to be reasons for think
ing il will not. II seems that the fever
was taken there by a tug. There has
been only ore death from the disease
and no other cases have been discovered,
though the first reports made it appear
that there We're some suspicious
cases. The Florida health officer
does not apparently regard the stu
alton as at all alarming, since very lit
tie has been heard from him about it,
1t is probable that the atmospheric con-
ditions are not favorable to the spread of
the disease this year. The outbreak at
the Soldiers Home in Virginia was quick
ly checked and it has not been diff

three cases reported from that city. AZ

in the same state. At Key West. however.
the fever has obtained cons,dera BILE head
way. though even there the disease is Of
a very mild type the number of deaths
being very small in comparison with the
whole number of cases. Ii is probable
that the fever at Port Tampa City will
be confined to that place. There does not
appear to be any alarm at Tampa, which
is only a few miles distant.
The season now is pretty well advanced
Il is not too late of course for an cpl
demic of yellow fever in any of the South
ern cities in which it may appear, but
every day lessons the chances of its ap-
pearance at any point where il has not

The Garret Myth.

zone of the favorite properties of story
writer's is the garrett" grumbied an artist
the other evening, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. 1.-THE starving genius
always writes his great poem in a garnet,
the poor little sick child never fails TO die
in a garnet, usually on a pallet of straw
and when future great men come to
strange city they invariably live in gar
rets as a prelude to glory-ln short, the
garnet is the theater of all manner of ro-
nance, pathos and adventure-in fiction.
In real life it is different. When l went
to New York to study art l had the great
garnet myth firmly fixed in my mind, and
the first thing l did was to look for hab-
itation of that kind. I was not especial
ly hard up but a garnet seemed the fit
ting thing for a struggling artist To
my great disappointment, discovered that
there were no garrets in town. There
were a few lofts used as storerooms, and
top-foor apartments with slant roofs, rent
ed at enormous prices to photographers
and fashiona bic painters, but the legend
airy garnet was unknown. l was finally
obliged to compromise on a hall bedroom
with a livery stable exposure. 1t was
cruel shock to my Imagination"

A DISCUSSION OF TRUSTS.

The big talk on trusts viii begin in Chi
cago to-day under the auspices of the civ
ic federation of that city. About every
thing that has been said for and against
trust since the agitation of the trust cues
ton began some months ago will be said
again at this Chicago meeting and great
deal more. 1t is expected that represen-
tatives from all parts of the country will
be present, and it is safe TO say that those
who know nothing whatever about the
trust question will be more persistent for
a chance 10 speak than those who have
made thorough study of it.
1t is probable that a majority of the
Northern delegates win be in favor of
trusts and that the majority of the South
ern delegates will be against trusts. The
reason is that the delegates are likely to be
influenced to very considerable degree in
forming their opinions by their interests.
The most of the trusts are in the North
that is, they have their home offices there.
The conference will hardly be an inter-
esting one-that is, the discussions villa
not be very interesting. 1t will be inter
esting, however, TO find out who the lead
ing defenders of trusts are and whether
they are connected with trusts or not. An
other point that may be brought out is
whether more Republicans than Demo-
Gratis are defenders of trusts. OF course
that information cannot be obtained with
any degree of accuracy, but a canvass of
the delegates will be made, probably, and
there viii be interviews which will help
to form an opinion as 10 what proportion
of the defenders Of trusts are Republicans
and what Democrats.
This is an important point since it is pro-
posed 10 make the trust question an issue
in the national contest next year. Some
of the Republicans are saying that so far
as the North is concerned there are about
as many trust defenders in one party as
in the other. The Democrats, however.
do not accept this statement. They insist
that the tariff policy of the Republican
party fosters trusts, and that therefore it
follows that more Republicans than Dem
ocrats are certain to be found in the ranks
of the trust defenders. II is pretty certain
that, whether they are Democrats or Re-
publicans, those who have money invest
ed in trusts and have the promise of good
dividends are in favor of them.
