“Chablbb 8. Sweet,..of Chicago, to Secretary Lincoln’a private secretary. Woman sufferage In Wisconsin has received a back set in the rejection of the constitutional amendment providing for woman suffrage by the people recently. But it must be confessed chat the exceedingly cloee vote on the amendment to an tncouragement mßre than otherwise. - ** n

Tse chief provision of the new coercion law, now being enforced in Ireland, la that those who offend against the laws as they stand,mly, in certain proclaimed district*, be arrested and imprisoned without trial for eighteen months. Bach tyranny will benefit England but little. Another soulless- monopoly in New York. A cremation society has Just been organised in thatcity, which proposes furnishing special rates to members, and to reduce “active” members to ashes free of cost. Outsiders will pay full rates or leave their chances of incineration to the place which Bob Ingersoll asserts does not exist.

It is said by the New York paper that their boasted Central Park is fast going to decay. The (Hives are neglected, the trees for, the shrubbery dying and the pathways impassible. Buch a condition of affairs in one of the most beautiful parks in the world, is a disgrace to the people of New York City, who should . make the park commissioners do their duty at once. The Irish Jails are being rapidly filled up with victims of the coercion act. Over forty prisoners were taken on iVednesday. When Halley, one of the more prominent of the “village tyrants” as Foster called them,on being removed from the train enroute to jail, he cried out to the large crowd of sympathisers at tha depot: .“For every man arrested let one be laid prostrate.” There is trouble ahead in the Green Isle. -. hj! l _ ■ The sity of Duluth is doomed to oblivion by the decision of powers that be. The managers of the Northern Pacific railroad have recently deckled to make the terminus of the main line of that road at Superior, where there is a fine harbor, seven miles distant from Duluth. The “future great city” therefore will be built at Superior and not at Duluth. This is said to be the natural terminus for the road. j

1 The latest reports from the northwestlire to the effect that Sitting Bull and his remnant of warriors are well nigh starved out,with so many deserving people appealing to our sympathies we confess that the condition of Sitting Bull haa not as yet worried us to tears. A good Indian is not the worst fellow in the world, but an Indian of the character of Squatting Taurus, haa got to get pretty far along before we commence slobbering over * himIt is not so certain that we shall have another world’s fair In 1883. The trouble Ilea in getting a suitable place where it is to be- held. The general verdict Is that Central Park is the place: but those in charge of it are opposed, and will not give permission. General Crant, president of the board, has a poor opintbn or the place selected, and it is evident that unless the place be changed to the Central Park, be will withdraw from the board. It is far from being a sure thing that the fair will be held at the time announced.

Legislatures are idiotic at frequent intervals, but at some times the attack is worse than at others. The Wisconsin Solons are just now having one of their periodical attacks of lunacy, and a bill is pending in that legislative body providing imprisonment as the penalty for the truancy of a child from school. The bill is likely to nass. In this country, where the highest slip ’Of even the poorer classes is to educate their children, any scheme tending toyrard compulsory education is looked upon with, dislike, and this bill of the Wisconsin idiots is a move In the direction of such compulsion as to- education, and a move so far beyond the ' pale of reason that even professed friends of such education will be likely to turn from the whole scheme. The legisl ture had better let such a bill severely alone. u

It was thought that the death of the Czar would be the signal for a general uprising in Russia. But it now appears nothing of the kind was Intended. It is difficult to sei? "what these fellows really wanted. t If a general uprising was not the purpose of the assassins what advantage did the Nihilist expect to gain. The Czar was by all odds the most liberal monarch the empire has ever had. Under his rule and by his own action surfdom was abolished and the large body of

the Russian people who had been held as serfs or slaves were liberated. ’To the assassinated monarch more than all other princes of the empire, that have guided the destinies of the nation is due what little of political and civil liberties the people have. Was it because he was generous that his life has been sought and at lastwarificed ? It is said the nihilists are sifting a constitutional government. TOds is well, but could not such a government be . as easily attained the old monarch as any other qpe, .who is likely to him? Just how these agitators are likely to attain such an object under the present monarch is not so clear, touch nearer are they to a constitutional government is hard to detect. It would seem the assassination of the monarch was not only a cruel, but a useless piece of work.
