STATEHOOD AND SUFFRAGE.

The women who are Interested in
securing the right Of suffrage for their
sex have found much reason to com
plain Of one clause of the bill now
pending before congress FOR Que admis.
sion of the four remaining territories
as the states of Oaklahoma and Ari.
IONA. 1t must be admitted that they
have reason for their objections.
The suffrage requirement in the bill
is as follows:
8. That said state shall never enact
any law restricting or a%bridgins the
right of suffrage on account Of race.
color or previous condition of servi.
tude, or on account Of any othcr condi-
tons or qualifications, save and OK
cept on account of illiteracy. minority,
sex, conviction Of felony. mental! con-
dition or residence; provided, howev.
er, that any such restrictions shall be
made uniform and applicable alike to
all citizens.
Why such a clause a. this should
appear at all In the bill 1t is impossi
BILE to see. Race color n previous
condition of servitrde" are sufficient
ly protected by the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution. There :s nc
way by which law states can get

BLOOD CELLS.
IN HEALTH


Man is a millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists lave proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is five million; in women four
and a half million, to the square n,illimctcr.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremeiy irregular in shape. Every one can
be i'll perfect health and possess the mil
lions of rich red blood corpuscles if they
only know how to go about it. DR.. X. V.
Pierce. consulting physician to the Inva.
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute. at Buff
falo, N. ", advises every man and woman
to prepare for a long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need a tonic and digcs.
tive corrector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use OF alco-
hol, would put the liver. lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action. This
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead Of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per
sons blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves arc
fed IN rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.

TO preserve the public lands TO actual
settlers. On the other hand it was
claimed that strict enforcement of the
land laws would provide the relief
needed. The result seems TO sustain
the latter view.
The secretary of the interior says
that the conspiracy has been defeated
and that the leading members have
been indicted. Some of these men are
residents of California AMI Arizona.
In addition seventeen persons residing
in Oregon ave been indicted for SINH
lar offenses against the land laws. Five
of these have pleadtd guilty. one
has been convicted, and it is believed
that convictions will be secured in the
other cases. which are now on trial.
The excellent work done in these
cases will go far to put u stop to illeg,
al attempts to secure parts of the pub
lie lands. The convictions obtained
on the Pacific coast will be a warning
Ito offenders in other sections, and
when frauds in locating and entering
public lands cease there will remain
no valid objection to the present lane
laws.
For the good work done in prescott
ing these land swindlers the official.
and agents of the department of th'
interior deserve high praise. The pub
lie lands are for the people, on which
to make homes. thereby developing thu
ening the new states of the far west

PLANTS QUEST OF SUNLIGHT.

Though it has never been proved that plants have brains. it has been proved often that there is some power within them whereby they combat evil conditions and seek what $ best for their good
 A resident of Castle Valley, Penn, has vine that showed itself last month to have if not brain, a sub stitute of equal value This vine, a young one. grew in clay pot and the vine curled up in it. It was about two feet in length, uncurled, it would have measured four feet.
 Usually the vine was placed in a south window every morning, where it absorbed all day the benefit Of the suns rays. 1t happened, however, through an oversight, that one after noon shutter shaded half the win dow and the vine was set in the shut ter's shadow. A foot away was the sunlight, warm, glittering, life-giving, but where the plant stood there was nothing but gloom.
 During the four days the vine stood in the shadow with the sunlight near it. it did something that proved it to have a faculty akin to intelligence. It uncurled itself from its supporting stick. and like living thing it craWled over the window ledge to the sun.
 tEsSSsss vine, to be sure. did not un- curl itself and crawl with the rapid movements of snake It's movements were. indeed, so slow as to be 1mper- ceptible. Nevertheless. looking about, it oyercame every obstacle, and finally 1t lay basking in the sun.

The outlook now Is for big corn and cotton crops. These are facts of the greatest importance. says Henry Clews. Our corn crop, if 1t reaches 2,5O0, 100000 bushels, should yield the growers about $1,oO0, 100000, to say nothing Of it's added value in the shape of pork and beef. Our cotton crop, if 1t reaches 11,0o0,00O bales will yield about $40OooO,ooo to growers, to say nothing of the profits to railroads, ex- porters and manufac cturers; so that from these two crops alone the coun- try's wealth will Joe augmented by more than 1,5O0 million dollars. 9th CT crops are doing fairly well, and there are no important reports of shortage Tn any direction. Of course, damage from drought now and frost later is possible, even probable, for cotton nearly always deteriorates in August and September. Yet all the crops have made such good progress and attained such strength as to be able to withstand unfavorable condi- tions exceptionally we'll The only ex. ception is in wheat. Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska having suffered injury by excessive rains estimated at about 25,OO0OOO bushels. But a 600,000,O0C crop is expected which is only 37 mil lions below last year, and the price, il should be noted. is about 20 cents higher than a year ago.

THE ORIGIN OF "K1CKERs."
Supposed to Come From an occupa-
 +ion dn Cornish Mines.

tion in Cornish Mines.
 "I believe that the origin of the ex- pressive bit of slang ''kickers" may be found in the very lowest form of oc- cupation any member of the human race follows" z W. M. Robinson states.
 "Between Wormsley's and St Hel- en's, in Cornwall. is an underground canal connecting the lower levels of the coal mines at Wormsley with the surface station at St Helen's which saves a great deal of money for the mine owners in handling the coaf, which is simply loaded on the barges in the mines and transported by the canal under the mountains to the har- bor at St. Helen's. When the canal was devised, however, how to provide for locomotion for these barges was a problem.
 Mules couldn't be used, and there were circumstances which made steam impossible, but an inventive genius finally solved the riddle by suggesting that cross pieces of timber be placed along the roof of the canal, which was very low, and men could lie on their backs on top of the loaded barges and
 KICK the VeSSel along. Alter the barge was once started this was found to be feasible. sf 7HAa
 The men could easily keep the load in motion by the means suggested and it has ever since been in use. There is no question about the low grade of his sort of work, and even men who follow it are constantly Kicking ar ound the villages where they live. They were known at the mines offici- ally as 'kickers'' because of their work, and their vocal complaints con- tfnually indulged in, caused every one at Wormsley's or St Helen's, no mat ter what their station or employment, who indulged in complaints to be cal led "kickers." I presume that the origin of the word. as we use it, is | just what have suggested"
