WOmen3s Suffrage.

In the Arena for March Rev. E. P.
Powell reviews the part the Supreme
Court of the United States has played
in it's history and he considers that
this branch of the government is its
weakest. Its rulings, he claims, have
been political rather than judicial,
and it has universally cast its in
fiuence against democratic principles.
In the instances which Mr.. Powell
gives to support his assertion, strange
to say, he omits all mention of what
would most strongly have fortified his
position, namely that decision of the
Supreme Court in the Minor VS.. Hap

while women were citizens, the right

consent of government This was. the
first judicial endorsement of the mod
ern doctrine that where the flag goes
the Constitution need not follow.
That husband and wife are one is
an axiom in common law, and under
all old interpretations it was equally
accented as automatic that that one
was the husband. But it has been left
for a North Carolina judge to rule
that that one was the wife. A dis
patch from Raleigh dated February
u. states that. the sutton of a young
woman was invited by her mother,
but forbidden by her father. Accept
ing the invitation, the angry father
sued him for trespass. The mother
signed his bond. The case was tried
and the father lost, the magistrate
holding that as husband and wife are
one she had a right to invite the
Young man. An appeal was taken by
the father to the Superior Court,
which will be called on to rule as to
a wife's equal rights on the family
premises.

1t came into view gradually, as If the

confederate, and he was interested at
once. 1t was arranged that he should
be in front of the hospital at half past
and watch for the confederate, and
luck attended him. He saw a we'll
dressed but evil looking man make
signals to the man at the window. The
signals were made with folded news
paper and would not have been noticed
by any one not on the watch for them.
Now, then" said the old soldier as
he returned and reported, I'VE have a
mystery on hand. Luck has thrown it
in our way that we may make a few
goldpieces. Let us work it out together
and share the reward
None of us in the ward had seen a
newspaper for week. They were not
interdicted, but none of the patients
seemed to care for outside news. Next
morning the soldier went out and pur-
chased the journals for the previous
five or six days, and as we looked them
over we struck a sensation. A boy 10
years old, the son of rich iron foun-
der, had been kidnapped and spirited
away, and it was stated that the whole
police force of Paris was on the qui
vive. The kidnapping had taken place
three days before l saw the face at
the window, and l was arguing that
our mystery could have nothing to do
with it when the soldier said:

day or two, but the scout got so hot
that he was moved Don't you fear
that he is not in the old house opposite

Then We should inform the police. -
Pooh. We must wait for a reward
to be announced. Never slap luck in
the face
On the fourth night and fifth night
the face appeared at the window at
the usual hour, and the same man
made the usual signals AS the police
were yet at fault. those signals must
have meant that things We're all right
for the kidnapers. II was now eight
days since the boy was taken, and as
no trace could be had of him it was
believed that ne had been killed or
taken out OF the country. The papers
gave it to the police pretty hot, and
Ii was intimated that the father was
ready to pay almost any sum to have
his child restored.
Now we are coming nearer to it,
said the old veteran. What the kid
napers have been waiting for is the re-
ward. but We must be ahead of them.
You have some money, but I have
none. You must give me enough to
