WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

lcannot refrain from saying some.
thing, collectively, OF course, about
your American women. There is
nothing Ike Saem in the world that
l have ever seen. In our cities the
men are subjects for general admir-
alton in their sprigh,liness, dash.
vigor aud generally wen.groomed
appearance. In America it is the
women. have been astonished az
the intelligent, interest they take in
public affairs, not only in their own
country, but all over the world.
Naturally great many of them
have asked me about the results OF
our Irish local government act of
1893, which gives women equal
suffrage with men on all questions
of local government and upon every
question on which the Irish people
vote, except that of sending repre-
sentatives to the British House of
Commons.
OF course | am an advocate of
woman suffrage. Why not9 The
interest that it gives to woman in
municipal government is in itself an
educating force. 1t is in sympathy
with the spirit of the age, which is
enlargement and not restriction.
What woman lacks in logic, she
supplies in intuition. What she
lacks IN strength of mind she makes
up in finesse and delicacy. Capable,
honest and intelligent women.
united for the humiliation OF wrong.
are tremendous power in politics.
In the progress of civilization
woman's power and capabilities are
becoming more manifest. 1t is
high time that we break away from
the barbarism that makes women
intellectual interiors. Are we told
that the polling booth is not a fit
place for women Then say it is
the duty OF man TO make II tit
place for her. The admission that
IT is not SO is in itself disgrace.
In Dublin, previous to the local
government act, we had about 3d.
600, voters, none of whom were
women. Now our voters list is
about As, 900, Of whom at least Is,-
900 are women. Their votes have
helped secure the election Of candi-
dates pledged to social reforms.
Our elections, since they have been
given the power Of voting, have
been orderly and we'll conducted.
Not the slightest disorder has taken
place at any booth.
But the new privileges of women
are not confined to the franchise.
They may be elected to the City
Councils, rural Councils and Boards
Of Poor Law Guardians. Mrs.
Maurice Dockrell, wife of Dublin
merchant, was elected a Councillor
Of the district OF Blackjack, and on
the first meeting OF the Council
she was unanimously elected deputy
chairman. In Templemorc, Mrs.
Bracken, a graduate of the Royal
University of Ireland was elected
chairman.
/ have yet to learn that either Of
these women suffered loss of dignity
or domes,ioity from assuming pub
lie duties. am satisfied that the
entire community is better because
they have done so. For the sake
of the many charming women
have met here, | should like to see
America take leaf from our book.

ScOw Men Retailing ill Daw-
 son Must Have a License.
WHOLESALERS EXEMPT
Assessment Made Is To Be Simply Equal to That Required of Mer
 chants of the Town--M. King Says It Will Not Hurt Barge Business.

M. King, of Kings mill, Caribou, who Is in town, says the report that all scows to md at Dawson from up the river with merchandise are to be taxed SI5o is erron- eous.
 ''Ths scheme" says MT. King, lis to charge each trader coming Into Dawson and selling goods at retail from scoW SI5o year unless he has d place of bus mess in the town. If he wishes to make only one trip. and sell at retail, he will have to pay $50 for selling his cargo.
 Two men were lately fined in Dawson for violation of the law, They were ig- norant, it seems, and got off easily.
 "The law will not be very hard on the scow business. It will practically do it no harm.
 "The license required is the same as that which merchants have to pay in the city of Dawson, and the new step of exacting a revenue from those selling from the scoWS is nothing more than the license imposed on peddlers in any community.
 ''lf a man wishes to take a cargo into Dawson by seoW and sell it at wholesale to another man or to some business house there, he will not, as l understand it, be required to pav.a license"

WHAT OF BRADY

The friends of Governor Brady have re- ssntsd, as we'll as has the governor hm> self, the charge that Alaska's chief execu' tive is not in sympathy with the commer- eisl advancement of Alaska. They denied the assertion that his labors have been rather in the interest of the Indians than ip the material welfare of those who are laying the foundations for civilized cities, and thriving commerce.
 The governor has boasted of his influ- saes at Washington and often pointed with pride to his frequent trips to the national capital for the sole purpose of furthering Alaska's claims upon the federal govern nent. Yet when the chief city of South eastern Alaska is making every effort to regain for this district substantial share sf the Yukon trade, amounting to more than Ss,ooo 900 annually. that has been sacrificed by the United States government. the governor of Alaska IS visiting the h. dians of the interior.
 The task Skagwav has undertaken to again make the interior of the great north west a feid for American energy and a feeder for the growth and enrichment ol Alaska Is of the utmost importance to this people. If the governor were as solicitous for the welfare of the district as he profes- sss to be he would be using his influence in the fight Skagwav has on hand. II only the best interests of Skagwav alone were at stake, it should be enough to en- list his support, but Skagway's fight ir this instance is battle for Alaska and the the whole Pacific coast.
 # Governor Bradv's friends desire to re- habilitate the executive in the opinion of the wde-awake Alaskan commercial men lot them get him at work without delay We have no representative in congress. but we are paying the governor $, 1000 year and we have right to his earnest support
