Gold Flowing Back to Europe

New York, April 16.-The first en-
gagement of gold for shipment to
Europe since the financial panic of
October last was announced yester-
day, the National City Bank taking
81 10000 for Paris. The shipment
is due to rise in exchange rates in
New York and a decline in Sterling
in Paris. Germany is reported to be
bidding actively for gold in New
York, and it was expected in Wall
street to-day that gold would go
abroad in considerable quantity next
week. A report was current that
Secretary Cortelyou might call on
banks for Government deposits if
the movements became too heavy.

SUFFRAGE IN OREGON.
Women Organize to Oppose
Female Suffrage.

A woman suffrage amendment to
the constitution of Oregon is to be
again submitted to the voters at the
approaching election in June. The
Oregon Association Opposed to the
Extension of Suffrage to Women has
filed an argument against the amend
ment, which will be mailed to every
voter in the state, under the provi-
sions of the new law The argument
cites the following ten reasons
against the amendment:
Because suffrage is to be regarded
not as a privilege to be enjoyed, but
as duty to be performed.
Because hitherto the women of
this state have enjoyed exemption
from this burdensome duty, and no
adequate reason has been assigned
for depriving them of this immunity.
Because comforting suffrage upon
the women who claim it would i'm
pose suffrage upon the many women
who neither. desire it as a privilege
nor regard it their duty to seek it.
Because theneed of America snot
an increased quantity but an improv-
ed quality of the vote, and there is
no adequate reason to believe that
woman's suffrage, by doubling the
vote, will improve its quality.
Because the household, not the in
dividual, is the unit of the state, and
the vast majority of women are rep
resented by household suffrage.
Because the women not so repre-
sented suffer no practical injustice
which giving the suffrage will rem
dy.
Because equality in character does
not imply similarity in function, and
the duties and life of men and wom-
en- are divinely ordered to be differ
ent in the state and in the home.
Because the energies of women
are engrossed by their present du-
ties and interests, from which men
cannot relieve them, and it is better
for the community that they devote
their energies to the more efficient
performance of their present work
than divert them to new fields of ac-
tivity.
Because political equality will de-
prive women of special privileges
hitherto accorded them by the law.
Because suffrage logically involves
the holding of public Office, includ-
ing jury duty, and office-holding is
inconsistent with the duties of most
women.
