LIGHT CONTRACT VETO.
Will Possibly Be Acted Upon by
Common Council Tonight.

An important matter will possibly he
acted upon i'm common council this
evening. 1t is the veto of the street
lighting contract, which was few
weeks passed over Mayor Kilpatrick's
head in select council There was just
the requisite number of votes-four.
There was one vote against it, Mr..
Rdrrett's. and one, Mr.. Davis. which
was not east either in favor or against
its passage.
This same contract has been buffetci
about ever since the early spring. and
it's fate in common council is matter
of speculation. At the last session,
two weeks ago, the veto came up in
this body. but when it became evident
that 1t would be rejected its support
crs succeeded in having it sent to COM
mttce. with instructions for a written
opinion of the legality of the whole
proceeding from beginning to end. The
fact that no action was taken on the
veto for u number of weeks after it left
Mayor Kilpatrick's hands raised sew
craI questions and it was partly,thouGh
not wholly, for this reason that the
opinion was sought. The opinion is
expected to be on hand tonight and
a warm discussion is looked for. The
reason that Mayor Fitzpatrick is op-
posed to signing the contract is that
he is not in favor of the city entering
into a binding agreement of this char
aCt"r for more than a year. when, as
he believes, there is a possibility Of
street are lights becoming cheaper,
and the possibility, also, Of improved
methods of lighting i'm the meantime,
The rate he considers reasonable
enough, the only question being one of
eXpediency.
The members of common council are
divided ON the question and whatever
way the measure goes, it will he by a
small margin. There Is a widespread
interest in tho agitation, which will
| undoubtedly be manifested in the at
tendance at tOnight's session.

Equal Suffrage.

Judge Mccormick of Phoenix gives hts oplnion upon the subject:
 As thc ladies Sf Phoenix are asking tue legislature to give them day upon equal rights for women, IL will not be aniss to offer n suggestion or two on tue subject
 lt is often claimed, and 1t Is perhaps true that women could have the right to Vote at any June, In any of the states or territories where they do not already vote, II they nnltadly made a demand tor It Many tt man gives, us n suiiic- lent reasun Iur iguoring the whole sub Ject, the isct that n large proportion of "omeu do uut ask for nor want the eiectlye franchise.
 1t Is not unreasonable to suppose tuat many wumon who have homes aud ",e provided for py kind husbands miih every comfort, should not wish to assume the responsibility of voting or ,eel the need oI any more rights than they nlready have.
 pul there Is n view of the subject to ur taken by such women which might umpel them to Il different course. And tnat Is thls. WhlIe they may be 50 la, ofnOly situated as not to feel the need oI any further protection, 1t IS Il fact that there arc tnousands of their sls- ter,, who are forced to fight the battle for bread, slugle handed, and alone, who suffer, from the unjust aud unrea- ,ouaoe and indefeuslble discrimina- IIons which the laws make between the rights of men aud women
 For instance. how could 1t happen Iu n state like Massachusetts that wo- wen teachers have heretofore received less than half the wages, us teachers, that men dc, except for the fact that women have no vote Now that women nave school suffrage in Massachusetts, we will venture the prediction that this inequality will be corrected, or else there will he some radical changes iu the composition of school boards in the old commonwealth, and that right soon.
 And so IL IS in many ways, directly and indirectly, hy reason of n distlnc- ton in rights, based upon sex, women are placed al a great disadvantage Ill the struggle for existence.
 The argument Is that those who are ,o favornbly placed in life as not to feel the need of any more rights than they have already. ought to think of If their less favorably situated sisters, and bs willing to assume the responsi- hility of voting ln order to give these Il better chance. by destroying this lalse and unjust discrimination togeth- -r with all the oppressive customs that grow out of t ! w.
