Woman Suffrage.

An excellent editorial in that con-
servative paper, the Natchez Dem
ocrat, of the 9TH inst, advocates
an amendment to the election laws,
extending "the right for women
property owners to vote on all
questions involving an increase in
the tax levy in that city. A wo-
man property owner should have
an equal voice with the male prop
erty owner when it comes to a
question involving bond issues and
the credit of the City, County or
State. Colorado, Idaho, Utah and
Wyoming give women the full suf-
frage and vote for all officers, in
Guiding Presidential electors. In
Kansas, women exercise the suf-
frage in municipal elections. Wo-
man suffrage exists in a limited
way, particularly as to taxation, in
Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Montana, Min
nesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New York, New Jersey, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Oregon, Oklahoma,
North Dakota, Texas, Vermont,
Washington and Wisconsin. In
some states women may hold Office
under the school laws, but here in
Mississippi they are allowed 10 hold
property which is subject to taxa
ton, and required to pay the tax
in full, but they are denied right
to vote in an election held for the
purpose of authorizing an issue Of
bonds, which, when carried, means
an increase in the tax levy"
Mississippi is making haste slow
ly to do full justice to her women.
An initial step in this direction was
the lustrous charter of the Indus
trial Institute and College by that
leader in evolution, Hon. John
McC. Martin. 1t was a recogni-
ton of women to share in the eco
nomic con lditions of the common
wealth. T here are not a great
many steps between the demon
strated ability to create property
and tbe acknowledgment of the
right Il govern it. A strong mi
nority oR the best and brainiest peo-
pie realize that it is only question

suffrage will be considered matter

The Horse and Others.

The friends of the horse, and those
whom it is not unfair to class as his
enemies. had little encounter in Con-
gress the other day. on a matter, which.
though not usually discussed in the
Dead of winter so much as during the
summer when flies are numerous, is
still important all the year round. II
WAS a clause forbidding the docking Oh
horses, which appeared in the bill fol-
the government of the District of Co
lu:abia, and the discussion involved not
only this custom but the care and
treatment of horses in general. 1t was
Il small matter. to be sure, but life is
made up of small things, and it is true
now, as of old. that merciful nIn is
suerciful to his beast.
About the only argument advanced
Ia support of the custom of docking
iiol ses was that Of a New York mem
Der. who declared that lit makes then
COX better" Perhaps this New York
-oI2ressman is in the class with those
chinese authorities on the subject OF
beauty. who hold that the two diminu-
tive. compressed feet of the Chinese
women are beautiful. The best canons
of taste, however. say that the Chinese
de, is wrong, and that feet, like the
horses tail, look better when Above.
to reach their normal growth without
mo!estation.
The practice of docking horses is not
of English origin. rs is commonly sup
posed by the anglomaniacs on this
side. 1t is an old Tartar practice. and
it is worthy it's origin. being simply {.
piece of barbarian taste. But there j.
mere to say for the practice of docking
horses in England, than in this coun-
try, for there are few flies in England.
and the horse there does not suffer the
texture that the locked horses do il
this country. 1t is to the honor of the
House that it kept the clause in the
bill referred to. and it is hoped that no
adverse action will be taken by the

You wear a coat. Why?

to keep the warmth in.

For such we say that SCOTS

War in the East at Last.

Ar last the actual clash of armies has
como in the Far East and Russia ana
Japan are engaged in the DioodS
erapple, which has so long been ex-
pected. and so much discussed. War
has begun, and when war begins
under modern conditions, few prophets
venture to say when it will end. or how
wide will be its effects. 1t was Russia
that proposed The Hague conference
to bring about universal peace, but now
Russia is engaged in great war; 4
war which most of the civilized world
feels is the result of its unwarranted
aegressions: war In which the
sympathy of most of the other nations
will go out to its adversary. Japan.
Through the coming weeks and
months, there will be the startling head
lines, with which we made acquainted
during the Spanish war, and the more
recent war in South Africa. There
will be wild rumors of all kinds
followed by contradictions, and the
contradictions in turn will often DE-
more startling. People will get out
their Biographies, and learn more
about Asia than most of them ever
knew before. The names of Corean
towns, Russian generals and admlraiS
and Japanese warships will soon De
familiar to every newspaper reader,
and the vocabulary of the world Will
rapidly be enlarged to meet the new
conditions. And over there. on the
other side of the world, forts Will be
battered down. and ships will be sunk;
armies will meet in battle. and brave
men will die, as brave men have died
in every war, since the dawn of time.
And in the homes of Russia ana
Japan, in the marble palaces Of the
great capitals and in the humble
cottages in quiet country places. the
hearts of mothers, wives and sweet
hearts will bleed and break, as hearts
at home always bleed and break, when
men go forth to battle. And for both
OF the great nations engaged. there
will BIZ loss and waste and suffering.
and the cruelty and crime, which are
an inseparable part of war. The pity
of it all is beyond words, and it simply
shows that the era of universal peace
is yet nothing more than vision of the
dreamer: that the blood lust still stirs
the hearts OF men: that diplomats still
must lie; and that nations still must
seek to crafty their ambitious aims at
the expense of others, regardless of the
outpouring of gold and blood and
tears, which these ends involve. We
car only pray that the war will be
short one, and that it will be Il decisive
one with a just and definite settlement
achieved.

Down in Virginia they tried to dis
enfranchise the negro voters with re-
suits which We're rather unexpected.
The new constitution in that state
provides that no man shall vote who
has not paid his poll tax. They
thought that this would bar out some
Of the negroes who might manage to
qualify in spite of other disenfranchis-
ing clauses. 1t now appears that in
the city of Richmond, where there are
about $4,000 male adults assessed for
taxes. only 1884 have paid their poll
tax, and are qualified to vote at the
coming local election. In addition to
these, however, there are 500
ex-confederate veterans, to whom
the poll tax clause does not apply. AS
there are less than 5000 colored voters
in the city, it will be seen that many
of the whites are deprived Of the right
TO vote. Doubtless the colored brother,
who has a keen sense Of humor. ap-
preciates the situation, but how the
whites feel about it is not related.
