In confident reliance upon your Harness

questions, submit the following 70 cor
rect a misapprehension. thank you III
advance for your courtesy in making II
public, for l feel sure that the courtesy
will be extended. am thus confident be-
cause l believe that although you are en-
ceedingly Jealous in the cause OF EQua'
Suffrage, you would, nevertheless oechne
TO profit by an untrue statement, or py
one inadvertently misleading.
broadside has recently been put In
circulation by Mrs. Livingston, giving
the names of women of this locality VINO
have signed a suffrage petition In con-
spicuous type at the end of the list Oh
names the statement is made that $50 or
those who had the opportunity signed the
petition.
OF course this is not statement that
8, ner cent. of the women Of this locality
favor suffrage, but find 1t is understood
to have this meaning by many. In view
of this misunderstanding. which is sur;
prisingly common. I ask the opportunity
to say that in a very careful and syste-
matte canvass mate in the city or Au-
gusta recently. the number Of women op-
posed to suffrage were found to outnurn-
Der those who favored it. In Ward Two,
for example, a house to house canvass
disclosed that of 1876 women of voting age,
214 were opposed. 80 favored, and 90 were
Indifferent. In Ward Seven, of 3S1 WON
en-, 17s were opposed. 1o7 favored, and 1ol
were Indifferent.
| These figures were obtained. with
names and residences. not by paid can
vassers, but by ladies Of intelligence and
character such that you and Mrs. Liv-
ingston would be quick to give them ere
dence. and am sure that she would not
wish to be misunderstood as she has
been, in the face of such evidence. As
you have given her broadside your edi
torial approval, you will. no doubt, be
glad to publish this comment in fair
treatment Of your opponents.

In any plan of insurance of soldiers,
if the government shall eventually
adopt an insurance plan, there should
be no respecting of persons. The Inn
it of insurance should be within the
reach of the poor man and the rich
should be able to get no more. In the
eyes of the nation, one man is as good
and as Aaluatle as another. He is rs
dear to his family and his life is worth
as much to himself The equality of
true democracy should be observed in
all our war legislation.

TRlsuTE TO THE FLAG.
lBy Louis Q. Hay. lE

= L. A.
That flag presents the most
beautiful combination of national
icolors that was ever unfupled
since the beginning of time.
That flag has carried more joy
to more humble hearthstones
than any insignia Of government
that ever fIoated in the sun
kissed breezes of heaven.
The red in that flag is redder
than the rising sun, when it, rises
over the eastern horizon with a
face of insufferable splendor;;
|redder than the carnation flower
whose colors are brewed in the
workshops of heaven; redder than
the flush of joy that mantles the
cheeks of the young mother,
when she feels for the first time
her first born's breath.
It typifies the blood that flowed
in rivulets down the slopes OF
that the mellow radiance that
flashes in a woman's eye.
It typifies the sacrifice Of q
mother who laid her stalwart first
