The death of the mine superintend-

The diamond mine was as far away
from Zudora as ever. Storm and Hunt
agreed that some one had got Into Has

made the ownership Of the diamond
mines unassailable.
Hunt questioned Baird In private, but

had never been able to put his hand

A Suffrage Vote Defeated.

The Maine House Of Representa-
tives arbitrarily refuses the voters n
voice on woman suffrage. We had
hoped that politics would be left out
Of this matter. We believed there
were enough Democrats who would
refuse to obey the party edict to carry
the question to the people. Certain
strong Democratic leaders are out
wardly pledged to the fairness Of let
ting the voters decide this question
which the voters Of other states are
deciding. 1t was not the place for
men to show their personal OPPOSE
ton to equal suffrage. But it proves
to have been the place where men on
the one hand placed their individual
opinion superior to public desire, and
on the other their slavery to party
trickery.
We have reason today to believe
that shrewd Democratic leaders had
carefully canvassed the situation and
so arranged the balloting as to out
wardly appear devoid Of political
juggling yet certain to defeat the de-
mand of the public for Statewide
vote on the constitutional question.
We have reason to believe that action
was delayed for the very purpose of
accomplishing Tuesdays results.
The Republican party is pledged to
equal suffrage, and that itself is suf-
ficient evidence that popular demand
is greater than Legislative assumption
1t is a question that should be sub
mitted to the people. The way many
of the representatives would person
ally vote on the question Is none Of
our business, but we insist that no
one of them had the moral right to
stand in the way of State wide vote.
And no man who voted against that
right of the voters can have the ex-
cuse that he feared being misunder-
stood, and that voters would follow
His seeming example For any man
of intelligence is permitted public an
uouncement that he voted for the ref

Now and 60 Years Aqo,

In the issue of April p, 1855, of Ora
hams Daily Mail, a newspaper pub
lshed in Philadelphia at that time, the
.eading articles were on THE European
War and the Allies" The Situation in
Mexico" prohibition" and "Subma-
rine Explorations" The papers also
commented on the high price of wheat,
the intimation that Great Britain was
too ambitious about ruling the
waves and the need Of more enlist
ments in the United States. The Crime
an War was then in progress, and the
allies" were England and France.
For 60 years the allies and their op-
ponents have been preparing" for
war. and now you see the improvement
in the quality of the murder The
Crimean War compares with the pres
ent about as a duel between tumble
bugs would compare with a cat fight.
Poor old Mexico, always in situation,
now the worst in it's history of upris-
ing. outlawry and anarchy.
In other words. history repeats and
goes several better in volume of hu-
man cusSedness.

The ban upon the free sale of these

experience of Atlantic City may be OF
wide value The habit should be regard
