TH« Legislature of Kansas lsstsaturdsy paaaed joint reaaalution submitting tho question of woman suffrage to a direct vot-* of the people.

A SMART youug man is on the throve in Japan, and there is going on the death straggle of the old flight—the fight between old ideas and the new. The young man has our best wishes.

IT is mentioned as a somewhat significant fact that the only two countries in which the stopping and forcible robbery by armed men of railway trains prevails, are Spain and the Uuited States.

OHOLRRA is rag in 4 at Buenos Ayres. We need to be more careful the coming spring than ever before for, if we mistake not, tho most serious attacks of cholera have always followed an unusually open winter.

IT seems quite probable that tie franking privilege will be restored by Congress during its present session. Let the press sen up howl that shall be beard and heeded at the capital. There only one thing these fellows are afraid of, and that is public opinion, snd that does'nt frighten them except It be strong.

IN Massachusetts the question of tax ation without representation is about to be brought to a test. Mrs. Foster has refused to pay taxes on a fsrm, for the reason that she wss not allowed to vote or hold office. Last Saturdsy the farm was sold by the tax collector, and now the ease is to be appealed to the Superior Court. •MrtilliSMai

A DISPATCH from Indianapolis says She prayer core movement is rapidly taking shape over there. A number of meetings of all the committees hss been called for Monday of next week. At a meeting Thursday night it was agreed to copy and publish all signatures to liquor petitons, and in case of forgery to prosecute the forgers. && ——mm Sis-

Sines the btr of Terre-Hsute has recently become so moral, It is proposed that the lawyers apply the "prayer cure" to the whisky busineis here. Their innocence, and purity, and gentleness, probably surpass these qualities In the women of our olty. In fact it is doubtful if many women among us possess the requisite moral character to be admitted to the bar.

I* Is becoming apparent that the effort to regulate the "social evil" by a 11cense system has proved a failure in St. Loots. Without decreasing the disease resulting from this evil, has in creased tho amount of licentiousness, by holding out the Inducement of protection from consequence*. It may be well thai one city h-s tried the experiment. The experience will be of service to the whole country*

THK Grangers se inclined to act with more reason »nd oantion in referones to railroads tbsn it wss fearedttbey weald. Last tr*ek we referred to the very sensible address msde by the president of the National Grange. Now it comes oat thai, of the bills introduced into the Iowa legislature, to regatal* railways, the most moderate and reasonable one w»* prepared by a committee of tbeGr.ogefs themselves. It Is the demsgogues, who, in the anxiety for grange votes, are ready to cripple railroads. The farmers very well know that they can not afford to do this. •MMgngnn

Til Supreme Court of Massachusetts has decld«d that women are eligible to pirtftWrta* on School Boards. So BOW the Boston Bo rd, which refused to admit tbf*eor four women elected to ftil pleeas thereon, mast back down. It Is bad enough to t» nngallant because the law demands It, but it to worse to plead Uw tor nngallant deeds, and thea Hod law on the other aide. Will not the *Wa* at the Hub, fre!

OvBsat Indianapolis, we learn from the Sua, swsral of tjie eanditates have adopted unique modes of making their names familiar to the public. Bonao put the fire alarm signal on the cards, others pat a t&bl^of weights and measures, while others put bits of information on. On one is the follewiBg: "Tb find the contents of a crib of oorn in the ear redone to cubio feet—4-10of produet will give amount of bushela." We suggest if any one wants to find the number of bugs In tits esr, let him be 0*0didat« for office.

THBaood fieopleof inr ceignooring olt}*

Marshall, have facilities for cir

culating slander which "ars oqtiftlle^ by fow and surpassed by none."' The "splinter" man reports the Rev. Graves of tb«£ elcy as utteri^« some ontr^eous ^sntiniOQta hi his pulpit* And when the reverend gentleman, who seems to be a very sensible wan, oomplains that he ia entirely misrepresented, and denies that he uttered or holds the sentiments ascribed to him, Mr "Splinters" says, "If we misunderstood an Informant we will make all necessary retractions. Until this ws^retract nothing." Decidedly cool.

THOSB who compUin of the "binding" »fleets of our Baxter laW would fairly bowl if they operated In Utah. Out there the wanton tote. Under the bead of the "new liquor law,*' here is an Item from the Salt Lake Dally Tribune v*1!

In the license law. two Important amendments were made by the House of Representatives yesterday. One provides that the license of any drinking house shall Jx rcvoked upon the application of ©«e-tfc»rri the voter* In any precinct. The other gives the

County

Court authority to grant any in

dividual a license to sell liquor only upon the petition of two-third* of the lawful voter* in tho election preclnt. So a man who wants to opeu a saloon hereatter will have to take his petition and get tWo-thlrds of the irien awu women in the neighborhood to sign It, before he can make application for a license.

TBAVKLESS will be interested lu a recent ruling Of the Superior Court at Chicago in the case of Smith vs. the Pulman Palace Car Company. The ruliBg Wiii so unsatisfactory that both parties 1m ve taken an appeal to the Supreme urt. The plaintiff sued to reoover 51,180 stolen from him on a sleeping car between Chicago and St. Louis, clsiming that tho company were liable as inn-keepers. Chief Justice Gary decided that they were not inn-keep ers, but that they were liable as common carriers, and directed the jury to find for plaintiff for the sum lost, unless that sum exceeded the amount necessary for bis traveling expenses solely for the journey he had undertaken when he left home, with six per cent, interest. The jury gave a verdict for |277.

Miss SMILKV, the modest and very successful Quakeress preacher, for allowing whom to bold services in their churches, Doctors Gyler and Robinson of Brooklyn, were reprimanded by their Presbytery, has been holding meetings for several weeks. She holds several services each day, In ohurobes of different denominations, and in different part* of the city, and the bouses are always filled. She does not call it preaching, but giving "Bible Readings," or "Bible Lessons." It may be that it is nearer preaching in the true sense, than most that goes by that name. Miss Smiley is certainly successful in getting the ears of the people, and Is said to be doing a good work. The opposition which she hss encountered In certain quarters because ehe has the misfortune to be a woman, has called publle attention to her, and the Brooklyn Presbytery has been her best advertising agent.

THIS lack of reverence on the ptrtof Americans, Is often made a topicqf oritiolsm and our political campaigns have been supposed io preeeut about the wont specimens of dis#e*pect and rowdyism, to ba found on the faOeof the earth. But we do not believe that dating the last presidential campaign, Which ws« about aa hot as they are aver msde, there was a pi see In the wholeconntry aofth or aonth.eaato? wait, where a leading statesman or politician, Tvonld sot have bean treated with the respect doe his poaStloa. To interrupt him la aspeeeh, by means of bells, aborse fiddle, and throwing bead fulls of pesa against the windows of the building where he was speaking, would have been regarded aa aa outrage not to be tolerated. But the iBnglteh correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, M. D. a, in one of his letters written during the retWtot campaign says:

that

can do It. It is a great boon to any community, one which ought to be appreciated here, to have two or three jmiadst which no question esn puwsle. P. rh pa, however, we may bo allowed to hold up our "tallow dip" in tbe midst of those brilliant gas burners, the Express and Gssette, who know all about this matter, provided we do it in a bumble way.

We confess that we hsd taken a great deal of encouragement In seeing the premium on gold gradually decreasing, and so the greea-back rising to full representation of the amount which was stamped on its face. It did seem to us that It would indicate a very healthful condition of the finance* of this nation, when Its promise to pay a dollar, shbuld be held of equal value to that of a gold dollar actually in hand. We thought that the finances of tbe nation were in abetter condition when gold was quoted at 1.10 than when it was 2.40, and we therefore concluded that when all premium upon it should disappear entirely It would beeven better yet. We had thought it better to let gold work its way down to this point. If this idea is a correct one, then it is desirable that nothing should be done either to stop or reverse the tendency of greenbacks to an equality in value with gold. If expansion of tbe currency would have this effect it is better not to expand. But on all these matters we are very much at sea, since the Express has informed us so decidedly that no such thing as specie payments ever existed.

We also had thought that, as tbe issue of more greenbacks would be likely to make the difference in value between greenbacks and gold, greater than it now is, or, as, in either, it would decrease the purchasing valneof greenbacks, it might work harm to the laboring classes. The tendency at the presont time is rather to keep wages where they are, or to decrease them. It seems to be difficult to raise them any higher. Consequently, if the purchasing value of the currency, in which the laborer is paid, is decreased, he is the loser thereby. We are aware that expansion is urged in behalf of tbe laboring classes. An alliterative cry has been raised for the mil!ions against tbe millionaires the chief merit of which, it seemed to us, might lie in the alliteration. We have not felt sure that increastng the volume of currency, and thereby decreasing tbe value of the greenbacks, would be a great benefit to the millions of laboring people. We have feared that it would work harm to them.

The above opinions we hold subjeot to change. We are honestly perplexed about this matter. We believe that all men, except a very few who have msde political economy a careful study, and those—unfortunately not a fow—who go off "at half oock" on all questions, share our perplexity. But there is one point on which we have no doubt. And that is, that when this or any other question is discussed, the attempt to array one class sgainst another, the rich against the poor, and the poor against tbe riob, the "million against tbe millionaire," and vice versa, is one of tbe worst snd most dangerous pieces of demagoguery of which It is possible to be guilty.

Taat&bakera have taken advantage of the hard timwi to make converts to their fMtb. The Scdety at Lebanon, N. Y., have published the following advertisement: "Wanted—Men, women and ohlldren can find a comfortable home fos life, where want never cornea, with the Shakers, by embracing that true faith and living pure lives. Particulars can be learned by writing to the Shaken, Mount Lebanon, N. If." Never did fear of hell or hope of Heaven have such an effect hi making converts. In four days applications for places where "a comfortable home| for life, where want never eomee," were received from one hundred and thirtyfive persons. Most of the lettera came from yoa&g men who wen oat of business. Each applicant has received a circular containing tbe ralee of tbe society and the leading points of the faith of the Shakers. No wonder that wretched people everywhere abould be at. treated by such promises as tbe Shaken held out, particularly wben it la known that they have the ability to c*?ry them out. In times of prosperity then is bat little that is attractive aboat the organisation of tbe Shaken, but In tlmee of financial rain, their quiet life «Bd stores of plasty an attractions indeed.

The Pittsburgh Commercial: "U may be an offensive thing to say, but it is the truth, that the feminine crueaden in the cause of temperance an waking an impression upon tbe public mind by no means favorable to tbe recognition of their rlarht and fitness to take part in either legislation or administration.

Mn. Kate Field has been writing some of her lively lettera to the Tribune—this time from Spain. "Madrid," ahe says, "goes to bed st 8 A. M., breakfasts st 1 P. M., tak»s a siesta before going to the bull fight at 4, drives afterwsrds, dines at 7, and later begins business. Then are those abject enough to ntin at night and rise in the morning. Tbey are shopkeepers and secretaries of legation possessed of conscience. Conscience emulates tbe lark—it rises early." y. •.

The Indianapolis Journal notes that It is a little nmarkable that the very class of people who hsve denounced all legal measures against intemperance aud demanded that tbe friends of temperance confine their efforts to "moral suasion," sn loudly denouncing the great reformatory movement now sweeping over the country ss an interference with tbe rights of liquor-sellers. If tbe present movement is not based on "moral suaaon," it would be hard to tell what those words mesn,

The St. Louis Democrat thinks that Anna Dickinson should "cheese" her lecture on "Joan of Arc." It hss got to be a dreadful bore to those who have heard it four or five times, and then it has recently been ascertained that Miss Dickinson's heroine wss not the person she describes her to have been Joan was not a martyr—she was not b'-rned. She married a stout Frenchman and lived happily to a green old age. and died' a natural death in tbe midst of her posterity in the city of Metz.

Alluding to the death of Wlgfall, the New York Sunday Dispatch remarks "That must be a peculiar sensation for such men as Jeff Davis and Alex. H. Stephens, when they

reflect

that their

lives and characters an all sketched in the pigeon holes of forty newspapenin theland. Nor is tbe sensstion lessened by the fact that everyone of these an eovprtem obituaries, so to speak, hsve the hated tinge of Ysnkeedom about them. To them all these thoughts must add to the horrors of death."

Tho Cleveland Herald aaya: "We see It ststed that one of the self saerlficing women engaged in the temperance crusade, has become dennged through over excitement. The violation of the physical laws of hsaltb Is what is to be apprehended. Tbe women engaged in it cannot endure such a stain upon their mind and their brain for a great length of time. It is a physical Impossibility to stand tbe exposure to tbe weather, and the fearful mental strsin that such labors impose upon them. This Temperance movement must obey all the l^ws of every other excitement."

The Brooklyn Eagle has been swooping down upon the authorities of Blsckwell's Island, who bavo the safe-keep-ing and punishment of "Boss" Tweed. It appears that the "Boss'" duties consist iu banding instruments to tbe surgeons wben tbey come to perform their operations, Ho has so little to do to occupy bis time that it takes two men to pnvent him running away. He also wears the most fashionable prison suit, which is dark blue, instead of brown, the prevailing oolor.

The Indianapo'is Journal itlttsthat the Commissioners of Marion County have decided not to employ counsel in the further prosecution of Mrs. Nancy Clem. This, if true, and we presume It ia, virtually insures the acquittal of this now celebrated woman, inasmuch aa there is a formidable array of oounsel employed for the defense ana an unaided young prosecutor for the State we regard the decision of the Oom miss loners as a lame and Impotent conclusion. It is a virtual oonfosson that the State to not strong enough to enforce Its laws and that any person charged with crime miy.lf they will only persevMre.tin vut tbe law and bafile justice. It Is a confession that no man'a Hie ia safe and that murder moat foul may be committed in our midst without punishment. It is a oon'ession that crime la stronger than the law and that the intereata of aoelety an no match for criminal* and criminal lawyen. It Is in all respects a humiliating conclusion.
