In an article published in your paper last week, the writer probably conveyed a wrong impression by tubstkutyag "Female" for "Equal" Suffrage Club.
Thongh women predominate, let
us not ignore the gentlemen who are members of this organization,
nor those who by their signatures
to our petition for municipal suffrage signatures so readily given, so seldom refused have become our allies. Out of one hundred and thirty-one men employed at the
Showers factory, only one refused his name. Two rainy afternoons were given to this work, and five hundred and thirty-seven names were secured. Whether these petitions accomplish the desired object note, or net, it will result in bringing the matter before the people, and ignorance and prejudice will have less weight in discussions affecting humanity. A Member of the Club. Eqaal Suanrage. From Evening Journal, Albany, N. Y.
"Whatever may be thought of
the propriety of woman suftrage, it cannot be disguised that the tenden
cies of the times are all in favor of
putting women on an equal plane with man. It has always seemed nrerjosterous that general suffrage
should be given to men, regardless of their qualifications, while it has been denied to women regardless of their capacity and ability to discreetly comprehend what that right involved. The trend of public sentiment during the nineteenth century has been altogether in favor of giving every right to woman that man has had. Looking at the question in the abstract, it is diffi-
colt to undersuna wny a mere ouference in sex should involve the
difference in the rights of humanity.
If an educational qualihcation were
imposed upon the rough scum of
male voters, ana u women who were gifted by education and by experience, and who thoroughly mmnrehended what the right to

can handle a ballot and mate nis
way to the ballot-box, and to deny
women who represent property-in
terests, intelligence and education, the right to take part in the choice
of those who are to administer pur-
ic affairs, seem to be a barbarism
not fit for the enlightened age in
which we live."

TOE EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE and Other Legislative Friends Visit the University.
On Thursday last, the guardians of the commonwealth and her interests paid their customary bi-en-nial visit to the University and to Bloomington, Judging from the number who honored the University and the town with their presence and their outspoken sympathy in behalf of the University, Dr. Jordan's recent trips to the capital have not been in vain. Learning of their coming, Dr. Jordan went to meet them. He arrived with them by special train at 10:30 a. m. and carriages having been provided, he at once escorted them to the University, where after an hour's visiting through the various departments the visitors, about 70 in number, were received in the chapel by the resident Trustees, students, and friends. The large number of lady visitors present formed a noticeable feature of this visit, especially in comparison with the visits of former committees. "Talks" were the order of the day until about one o'clock. Dr. Jordan, presiding in a pleasant way, announced the name ot Senator Duncan of Brown co., who is an alumnus of the University and chairman of the Senate committee. The Senator is as loyal as ever to his alma mater and pledged himself to
j-give her bis cordial support. The
next speaker was Itepresentative Scott of Morgan co. who is also an alumnns, and Chairman of the House Committee. Mr. Scott's support is not less cordial than that of Mr. Duncan. Space forbids noticing each of the twenty-five or thirty speeches following but they were unanimously "for the old flag and an appropriation." These: evidences of good will were received with hearty rounds of applause from the audience. Many who were old graduates or students were evidently pleased to return, and glad to see the evidences of life and prosperity which greeted them. After the various members of the legislature had expressed themselves

Isaac is traveling for a Baltimore wholesale house, David is book-keeping for the same firm, and Phoebe is married and living in Columbia,Pa. A petition was circulated last week, and generally signed, asking the Prosecuting Attorney of the U. 8. Court to dismiss the prosecution against Mrs. Lewis Weimer of this township.

an excellent dinner, ihe company returned at 2:30 p. m. Certainly much credit is due our

An exchange has recalled ihe
fact that there are some curious features in au ear of corn, and that one is the odd row that has never yet
been discovered. It ia always four
teen, sixteen or twenty, or some other even number, and hence we
would like to know what corn knows
about mathematics and what objec
tion human nature has to odd num
bers. And where do the red and
speckled ears come from when you don't plant anything but white corn ?

Tuesday evening, being the 22d, the "Y" will meet on Monday evening at the residence of James Howe, on South College Avenue. For the convenience of our business young men, the hours will hereafter be from 8 to 10. The meetings are always open to all, and we shall be glad to welcome any one who feels interested in the young people of Bloomington. There are now 7,000 ex-sol
diers in the various poor houses of the country, and, perhaps, three
times that number can bareiy keep
out. When the Nation is so boun
tifully able to provide for these
men it ia a burning disgrace not to
do so. The dependent pension bill
was not passed any too soon, and
yet the President vetoed it. He
will become the most unpopular man in the country.

An engineering corps from Smithville is surveying east to get a line for the new railroad. A correspondent in an exchange gives the following : "If you ever endured the agony of a felon, you will appreciate the fact that it can be cured by woolen smoke. Place the rags under a flower-pot and put coals upon thein, or set them on fire in some other way, theu hold the felon over the smoke, and it will extract all the pain." This is worth cutting out nd preserving.
Chicago and Stlnesvtlle Stone
and Marble Jo. Booniag,
We are much pleased to learn that th
above named organization is on the boom,
and that the stock U 1 eine largely taken
bv our own enterprising citizens. The
capital stock is $100,000, divided in shares
of $100 each, a considerable portion of which has been already taken by capitalists at Chicago, Boston, and by our awn citizens. The land is situated near Stinesville, Monroe co., Ind., 4,000 feet distant from the L. K. A. & C. railway, and about
two miles from the I. & V. railroad. The Knd consists of twenty sores, all limestone
and Indiana marble, extensively
over the State of Indiana, fof the pa:
thirty-five years, and for beauty and durability cannot be excelled. fix-State Geologist Collet says : "This is the best stone I ever saw. The ledges are from fcrty to sixty feet thiek, easy of access, no stripping, and all overlaid by a thick ledge of Indiana marble. These quarries have been in operation about thirty-live voars, and the supply ia absolutely inoxlinustable. Tbat it is a mine of untold wealth cannot for a single moment be doubted, and nil tbat is needed is capital to develop it." This wo think will be found in the new company now organizing. Some of the stock will be on the market here for a few days at a low figure, giving our citizens an opportunity to invest before the stock is all taken by foreign capititlisls. These quarries are now owned by J. S. Williams, Who for many years
pt has been engaged in the stone business, and has found that it requires capital
to run the business, and be has therefore
adopted the usual plan in tuts class oi trasi ness of incorporating under the statutes
of Indiana, and has already had all the
necessary papers made out and win nave tbe stock not already taken, put upon the market this week.
