From the Catholic Advocate


We oppose woman suffrage as Catholics
and as citizens We are stout believers in
the superiority Of meu over women. We
can not forget that the apostle tells the
women that they ''ought to obey their
husbands, because ''the man is the head
of the woman" If the noisy females who
want to be on an equal footing with men
were to reflect upon these words they would
sean learn their true rights. 1t is sheer
nonsense to assert that the practical APP
plication of the apostles doctrine would
tend 20 reduce woman to slavery. On
the contrary, every mark of honnor and
respect shown to woman is founded upon
this doctrine of her dependence upon, and
consequent inferiority to, man. When
this truth is once lost sight of. the fate
of the female sex will become worse than
it ever was under pagan rule, for the iu-
tellectual culture of the age, superraded
to strong passions, will teach crimes that
were once unknown. Society is bad
enough already; the outward contempt
for women which are everywhere per-
ceptible, already produce an enormuos
amount of sin aud misery. But let wo,
man sacrifice their true dignity by plum
giug into the whirl of political passions !;
let them leave the sanctuary of their
homes and plot and intrigue for Office,
and society will become still more de-
praved. And certain it is that the greater
the moral deprayity of society, the more
wretehed is the lot, and the more CALLING
is the slavery of woman.

An aged hen had laid an egg,


And left it lying in the nest,
Her grandchild, passing by, exclaimed,


"Oh, what coy place to rest.
Dear grandma gone to take walk,


An left an egg all warm and nice;
Won't it be jolly! Here I'll set


And hatch chicken in trice."
In due time grandma came along;


And when she saw the broken shell
She cried, who done this cruel deed?"
While fast the bitter tear drops fell.
Then up spake honest chick and said,


Grandma, l know that shall catch i; ;
But still cannot tell lie


did it with my little hatch-H."

Out Of the bosom of the air,


Out of the cloud folds of her bosom shaker
Over the woodlands brown and bare,


Over the harvest fields forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow


Descends the snow,
Even as our cloudy fancies take


Suddenly shape III some divine expression,
Even as the troubled heart doth make


In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals


The grief it feels,
This is the poem of the afr,


Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,


Long in its cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed


To woodland field.

men of our exploring expedition lead us to
these estimates from preliminary reconnois-
sance of single route between the waters of
the Atrato and the Tuyra. Each Of these
rivers has numerous branches interlocking in
The sinuosities of the slender backbone Of the
Continent in that quarter. and it is believed
that still lower connecting depression than
that discovered will be found.


But the route indicated as reported will do.
We conclude from our correspondents details
of it that it is available for ship canal, by a
through cut at less than half the cost Of the
Suez Canal. In other words, we estimate
that ship canal by the Darien route indi-
Gated, whereby ship may sail straight
through from ocean to ocean without lockage,
may be excavated at half the cost required to
open the Suez Canal. We believe, TOO, that
when opened the trade of this Darlen will be
fifty times that of the Suez Canal. We have
great hopes of the complete success Of this
exploration in the route suggested, and with
its success the dullest landsman will begin to
comprehend the advantages of st. Domingo as
the halfway house between New York and the
Gulf of Daren.

We publish in another part of the paper
several articles on yachting, which indicate
that stirring times may be expected during the
coming season among our yachtmen. A
number of large aud beautiful vessels are
about being added to the feet, and descrip-
tions of several of them have been given Mr..
George Lorillard's new yacht, the Enchantress,
Is about leaving on an extended cruise to the
Azores and tho Mediterranean. She will
return, however, In time to take part in the
operations of the feet this summer. Mr..
Louis Lorillard's yacht, the Wanderer is
nearly ready fer launching at Greenpoint.
The yacht Dreadnaught is about in the same
state of forwardness, and for some time to
come we shall be hearing of the launches
of these elegant vessels that are destined
to increase the reputation of our yachts, both
at home and abroad 1t is very evident that
our yachtmen have not been idle since their
vessels went out of commission, Judging from
what we hear from New London and from our
immediate vicinity. Building. alteration, re-
fitting and repairing are the order of the day,
and all are striving to be in readiness for the
time when spring announces that pennants are
to be again hoisted and our feet of magnificent
pleasure vessels is to be placed once more in
sailing trim. The next season will show what
experience has done to benefit naval construc-
ton. Every effort has been made to improve
upon the past, and we look forward with great
interest to see if any OF the new ideas that
have been carried out will prove as successful
as is now anticipated.

DINING DIPLoMAcY.-If it is an established
fact that dinners are the most persuasive
element in diplomacy-and we believe they
are-then we may conclude that the Joint
High Commission in Washington will settle all
the vexing questions they are expected to
adjust with no difficulty whatever, if their
siomachs hold out Minister Thornton opened
the discussion yesterday with most
effective presentment of his side of
the case in the way of dinner to
all the Commissioners now in Wash
jugton. He is to be followed this evening
by Secretary Fsh's sweeping statement Of
our demands in the shape Of another dinner.
On Thursday ard Saturday Earl de Grey
will follow up Minister Thornton's argument,
and next week all the British Commissioners
will present their facts in the same way.
President Grant is to take hand In the
argument next week also, and it is possible
that by that time il the Alabama claims are
not settled all the Commissioners will be
.'busted."

THE INCOME TAX REPEAL BTLL-ARTFUL
DoDGING. good, honest souls in the
House of Representatives who don't want the
income tax repealed and don't want to 60 upon
the record against it have invented very
neat dodge to secure its continuance and still
retain the good graces of their constituents
The Senate, it will be remembered, passed it,
being mindful Of the demands of the people
but the House, although protesting almost
unanimously an anxiety to pass it at once,
suddenly felt great respect for parliamentary
etiquette and raised the point that the Senate
had no right to originate such bill. A con-
ference committee on the subject was de-
manded, and now the conference committee
sticks to the same point. This was pretty
artful dodging, and, like lie, we suppose it
is as good as the truth if well stuck to. But
1t is shame that parliamentary Juggling like
this should defeat this bill every session when
the people and the press so loudly demand its
passage.

JAMAIoA.-By special telegram from the
HERALD's correspondent at KinsOson we
learn that the direct steamship communica-
ton with New York is nfusng new life into
that colony. Italian opera is also adding
gaycty to the usually quiet life of Jamaica. A
little row between the French and Prussian
consuls has formed an exciting topic Of con-
versation; but the war ended without more
than words. The colonial government is
paying particular attention to the conduct of
the colored population, with view to placing
the deserving in situations under it. The
authorities are moving against the squatters,
and are also taking possession of all property
unrepresented and renting it out to persons
who will give it care and attention. Jamaica
is evidently waking up, and gives promise Of
renewed prosperity.

The act to reopen the assessments for the
widening and Strengthening Of Broadway,
which provides in effect that the frauds dis
covered in the old assessment shall be filmed
over rather than altogether erased, and the
act to give New York fresh supply of pure
and wholesome water, which substantially
gives to one or two persons high in the con-
fdence and leadership Of the ring the right to
purchase the fountainheads of the Croton
aqueduct, have both been signed by Governor
Hoffman, and are therefore both laws of the
State already in effect.


We hold that it was serious mistake on the
part of Governor Hoffman to approve those
bills OF course the democratic ring
and the ringleaders are beyond the reach
of censure. Their political lives hang upon
the breath of the democratic master mind of
all, and he orders these things to be and they
are. But Governor Hoffman, by his position
and his well-won honors, is lifted far above
the mere jobbers of the party, and he has
much to lose by his action in this matter
which the originators of the bills in the Legis-



after all, most to blame for the passage
Of these jobs are the country republicans, who
hold the balance of power in the two houses
balance 80 delicately adjusted that Mr..
Jacobs one or two extra drinks with too
convivial companion on the night of the New
Hamburg disaster was all that saved the
democracy three weeks ago from kicking the
beam. These republicans sold themselves
shamelessly on both these jobs, some of them
doubtless taking the bribe with ready hand
and brazen face, while the more decorous
turned their heads away and heard the silver
pieces chink in their pockets These are the
men who deserve tue greatest censure. With
the democrats we look upon it as matter of
course. They are not expected to cut away
from their ring just on account of a job or
two, and yet it was known in Albany at the
republican caucuses preceding the vote upon
these bills that there were several honest
democrats willing to join with honest republi-
cans for the defeat of the two jobs. AS the
republicans would not join with them they saw
the bills must pass, and they voted for them
rather than 60 down upon 'Tweed's black
list" and be shut out of Tammany forever
upon mere abstract principle of right. The
Governor, we think, has made grave error,
which will extend in its future effects far
beyond the limits of this city or this State
but the republicans of the Legislature are the
ones who deserve the fullest share Of blame
for the success of the Broadway widening and
the water supply Jobs.

Let no one be misled by the plausible
pretext of offering 5000 per share for the
Richmond and Petersburg road. There is
nothing in it. Mr.. Pendleton and others,
In debate last night, showed concluslvely
that even If the bill were carried accepting
the proposition, it would only be taking
the money out of one pocket of the State
to put it in another; and already General
Mahone's road owes the State more than
it will ever pay. He has had quite enough.
The four millions he got last spring, which
may be looked upon as free gift, should
satisfy him. He ought to stop his Quix-
otc vagaries, running around the country,
buying up railroads from the State, with the
money the State has loaned or given him.

Hon. Walter W. Wood, of the House
of Delegates, in rising to personal expla-
nation last night, complained that the
STATE JOURNAL had misrepresented his
language in the debate of the morning.
According to Mr.. w., what he really said
was "that there was possibility that in
the confusion of debate such a bill might
pass but he did not believe that even the
Ellyson party themselves, if they could
prevent it, would allow any bill of that
nature to pass" which is quite clear.


We suppose the meaning is, that the
Ellyson party would not if they could help
it, allow any bill to pass, save that which
authorizes the sale of the States interest to
the nine gentlemen of Richmond. We
make the correction in justice to Mr.
Wood, and regret that we should have
Inadvertently misrepresented his language.
