The Woman’s Suffrage Movement.
The celebration of the semi-centennial
anniversary of the National Womans
Huffr;*ge .Association began in V* asbing’ton
yesterday. The gathering in Washington
serves to attract attention to the progress
which this movement has made during the
fifty years from the 'Lime it began.
We find In the Birmingham News some
very interesting facts and statistics rela
tive to the progress of woman’s rights.
It upptars that In only three states of
the American I Hlon do worm n have full
suffrage and vote for all officers, includ
ing presidential electors. These are Col
orado, Utah and Wyoming, in which states
wouii n are also It gible to office, several
having bttn elected to the Legislature in
Colorado and others having been chosen
to educational offices in that and the two
other elates wherein woman suffrage ob
tains. The woman suffrage law was adopt
ed in Wyoming in 1870, and In Colorado
in 1893, while in Utah It is a constitu
tional provision.
In Kansas women exercise suffrage
largely In municipal elections. In Mme
form, mainly as to taxation or the selec
tion of school officers, woman suffrage ex
ists in a limited way in Arizona, Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kentucky.
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, 'New
Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont,
Washington and 'Wisconsin. But only in
the Eastern Btatee and the far Western
states and territories named above is the
right exercised to any material extent.
On the other hand, in nearly all states
where a fight has been made for full wo
man suffrage the movement has been de
feated. In 1897 proposed amendments to
their state constitutions, according females
the right to vote on all questions, were
rejected by the Legislatures of the states
of California, Connecticut, Maine, Massa
chusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada and
Oklahoma. The proposed woman suffrage
provision In the chanter of Greater New
York failed in the New York Legislature,
and the Delaware Constitutional Conven
tion rejected a proposition granting the
ballot to females.
While woman suffrage in Its broadest
sense has made progress it undoubtedly
reached its zenith In 1893 when it was
adopted in Colorado. There it was given
a thorough test, but the experiment, of
that state, where conditions were probably
more favorable to its success 'than ever
liefore, has proven a failure. Since that
time the right of full woman suffrage has
Biot been extended except in Utah. where
It had always existed, and was simply en
grafted in the state constitution when
that instrument was adopted.
However, there will be other things to
consider in connection with the work of
the National Woman’s Suffrage Associa
tion besides the mere matter of the right
to vote. The agitation of woman suffrage
Is in a large degree responsible for the
economic aspect of the woman’s rights
question. The result is the entrance of
woman into the walks of life where a few
years ago man held absolute sway. The
army of self-supporting shop girls, type
writers, female telegraph operators, with
here and there a woman lawyer or a wo
man doctor or a woman preacher, are the
creation of this agitation. But these are
not all. The ‘‘.new woman" with short
ekirts and bicycle and the Mrs. Lease sort
of creature who talks politics from the
platform during week days and socialism
from a pulpit on Sundays are the out
growth of the suffrage movement. Os
course this latter class are the extremists.
But has not the American woman had
to pay a fearful price for the privilege of
sharing with man the duties and respon
sibilities of commercial, business and pro
fessional life? In so doing has she not
lost something of her divinity which has
been aptly discribed as “more impenetra
ble and powerful than that which doth
hedge about a King?” These are ques
tions for the wise and grave leaders of the
suffrage movement to consider.
Not a single Senator who has spoketi
against the ratification of the treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii has presented
a convincing argument against annexa
tion; and strange to say the greatest op
position has come from Democrats. That
the friends of the sugar trust and the
cuckoo worshippers should oppose annex
ation was to be expected: but that 'Demo
crats should array themselves against the
traditional policy of the party, is an un
accountable surprise.
Spain's Heavy Load.
Spain’s present debt inclusive of the
Cuban war is in round figures 82.000,000,-
000. The exports from that country last
year amounted to 8170.000,000, and her im
ports to 8140.000,000. Considering the in
terest which has annually to be paid on
this large debt, it is easy to see how a
continuance of the Cuban war. tending to
increase it. will force that nation into
bankruptcy. Already it takes one-half of
her exports just to pay the interest upon
her national debt, let alone providing for
the government's expenditures. This
shows how heavy taxation must be grind
ing down the Spanish populace. With a
population of less than 30,000,000 for Spain
and all her colonies, the per capita debt
amounts to more 'than five times that of
the United States. This struggle against
destiny must cease therefore ’ere long.
Mr. Bryan has written a very strong and
politic letter, which apeared in the New-
York Journal of the 6th instant. Mr.
Bryan undoubtedly gave this letter careful
consideration for it is commendable in
every way, and every American should
completely digest it. He says: “No one
believes that bimetallism will prove a
panacea for all political ills, hut the money
question must be settled .before other ques
tions can be reached. Financial indepen
dence is a condition precedent to reforms
along other lines. The power that controls
our financial .policy can control the policy
of our government on every other subject
■wherever occasion rises for the exercise
pf that control,"
Complexion of Congress.
The following is a complexion of Con
gress from a professional standpoint:
In the senate there are eighty-nine mem
bers with one vacancy rrom Oregon. A
pole of the senate shows:
Lawyers 64. merchants 54, manufactu
rers 2, capitalists 1, planter and journalist
1, public officials 11, fanners 4. journalists
2, newspaper proprietors 1, retired 1. To
rn, 90.
Republicans 46, Democrats 34, Populists
5, Independents 3, Silver party 2.
There are 357 members and 3 delegates
in the lower house. Here is the way they
are classified:
Lawyers 213, public officials 1", mer
chant 12, bankers 8, physicians 3. real es
tate 3, planters 3, teachers 3, literature 2,
clergymen 2, coal operators 2. pharmacist
I, coal dealer 1, farmers 20, manufacturers
11, journalists 10, editors 7, retired 3. lum
bermen 3, insurance 3, mining 3, contrac
tors 2, milling 2, laboring man 1, operator
I, Printer 1, machinery 1. Not given 20.
The oldest member is Grow, of Pennsyl
vania, who is 75, and the youngest is
Bradley, of New York, who is 28.
Politically the house stands—Ft. publi
cans 203, Democrats 129, Populists 21, Fu
sionists 1.
Is it any wonder that our statute books
are burdened with obnoxious laws in the
interests of the classes and against the
masses, when our lawmakers are so few
ai the people?
Here is another from the Americus
Herald that the Macon Telegraph should
have tried to explain away while it was
at it. The Herald says:
“The Telegraph still continues to shriek
on every possible occasion. ‘1 am a Dem
ocrat.’ Why should a paper in this sec
tion have to declare its politics in so many
words nearly every day? It is about as
consistent as it would be for a business
man to take a space In the paper to -tell
the- public that he was honest not a cheat
and a swindler. The Telegraph should
remember that ‘by their fruits ye ehall
know them.’ ”
Business men who make large use of
the mails—especially newspaper publish
ers—will hail with delight the announce
ment that the postoffice department has
introduced a cancelling ink which will not
clog, and which gives a clear impression,
and which sinks into the fiber of the pa
per of postage stamp and envelope so that
It will not blur. Many people forget to
give their state, and many omit the name
of the po; ‘office. A legible cancellation
will sav? trouble by furnl-hing these data.
Says a level-headed Georgia exchange:
“Peanut, popgun and possum politicians
may whoop and yell all they please but the
ordinary common people pf Georgia have
decided to have a hand in polities this
year and they will see >to it trait the offices
will be filled by men who do not go in
loaded down with promises to political
heelers.”
A petty officer of the United States
cruiser Olmypia, one of -the fleet on the
Asiatic coast, soundly thrashed a member
of the staff of the German Legation at
Tckio, Japan, recently because of a dis
pute that took place regarding the merits
of the countries represented by the dis
putants. Now, Bill, make your bluff.
Says the Americus Herald: “Everyone
expected an announcement from an 'ad
ministration candidate just as soon 'as a
loop hole could be found 'through which
to push him. There was discovered a
crevice which the gang thought could be
used with great results and at cnee the
oat came out of the meal tub.”
Says the Augusta Chronicle: “Colonel
Candler's resignation of the office of sec
retary of stflite sets Judge Atkinson a good
example. Will he resign from the railroad
commission?"
The poor old Telegraph is deceiving none
but itself in its attempt to pull the wool
over the public eye in this gubernatorial
race. It really (thinks it Is doing it.
The politicians are trying hard to hum
bug the people again. But the people are
doing a little thinking for 'themselves this
time.
If Spencer R. Atkinson could change his
name and shake off the support of the
Macon Telegraph, he might at least hope.
The Telegraph—and the Southern Rail
way—want Mr. Atkinson to remain a
member of the railroad commission.
From all accounts Atlanta’s celebrated
“■Peachtree Sisters” seem to be affected
with the San Jose scale.
What a factor in Georgia politics the
old Telegraph would be if it could only get
anybody to believe it.
The press of the state is congratulating
Mr. Candler on the opposition of the Ma
con Telegraph.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Pealr divers remain under water from
50 to 80 seconds on an 'average, but oases
have been reported of their remaining as
long as six minutes under water.
A. Mr. Ponder, of London, purchased a
safe a few days ago at an auction of the
effects of a lady in the neighborhood, re
cently deceased. On removing the “lot”
he found behind a drawer the will of the
lady, and console and other securities to
the value of 852,000.
It would appear to be -hardly credible,
but It is stated that at a sale at Mulch, a
Genevan thaler reached the extraordinary
price of over 815,000. It bears the date
1598, and there are only -two others in ex
istence. It is four times the usual thick
ness, and has the initials of Jean Gringe
let, a celebrated medalist. The inscription
on the face (“Geneva Civitas”) surrounds
an eagle and key -and a sun: on -the reverse
la the imperial eagle surrounded by the
motto of the city.
An extraordinary discovery, and one
which is just now exciting considerable
interest in antiquarian circles in Lanean
shire and Cheshire, has been made at
Stockport, England. During the excava
tions in the construction of sewerage work
for the town, the workmen came across
what has since been proved to be a mas
sive oak tree, with two immense branches.
Professor Boyd Dawkins, the well known
antiquary, is of the opinion that the tree
is one of the giants of prehistoric times,
and he says that it is certainly 10,000
years old. The corporation of Stockport
are at a loss what to do with the gigantic
fossil, which is supposed to weigh about
40 tons, and, as it is necessary that it
should be removed, a proposal has been
made to blow it up with dynamite. This
has aroused the indignation of a large
section of the public and efforts are being
made to bring pressure to bear upon the
council to preserve the tree.
The Coming Woman.
Who goes to the club while her husband
tends the baby, as well as the good old
fashioned woman who looks after her
home, will at times get run down in
health. They will be troubled with loss of
appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, fainting
or dizzy spells. The most wonderful rem
edy for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from lame back and
weak kidneys rise up and call it blessed,
it is the medicine for women. Female
complaints and nervous troubles of all
kinds are soon relieved by the use of Elec
tric Bitters. Delicate women should keep
this remedy on hand to build up the sys
tem. Only 50c. per bottle. For sale by H.

’POSSUM MARKET DULL.
Countryman Fails to Find a Buyer For His
Prize.
* Ji .
Atlanta Journal.
He wos a tall, shaggy countryman from
the regions beyond Bellwood, and he car
ried across hie shoulder a long oak stick,
on the end of which rested a big fat pos
sum whose tail was securely fastened by
a split in the etick. Strolling down Mar
ietta street with his peculiar charge, just
before noon, the countryman attracted the
attention of all the passers by.
At Folsom's restaurant he tried to sell
the animal, which he stated was eaught
last nigh*, but as the offer he received
was unsatisfactory he moved on to Deca
tur street.
A negro barber offered him a quarter
for the possum, but the countryman want
ed 50 cents.
"Wai, sub,” said the barber, “I’ll give
you de quarter an' er nice slick hair cut
fur dat possum."
“Me give a good fat possum fur hair
cut!” exclaimed the countryman. “You
don’t ketch me throwin’ away money like
that.”
The next offer he had was from a res
tauraat keeper, who offered him a cup of
coffee. 20 cents and six fried eggs for the
possum.
“Make it a full dinner—an I kin eat—
an' we’ll trade,” said the eountrymaq.
The restaurant man looked him over
closely, and shook his head doubtfully.
“I am afeerd to try dat,” said the res
taurant man, “you looks too long an’
hungry.”
“Wai, if I can’t git whut my possum’s
wuth I kin take him back home,” said the
countryman, and moved on sorrowfully
down the street.

A Philadelphia man has lived ten years
in a house lor which he paid no rent and
no taxes. It belonged to the gas company,
and he had paid rent regularly until the
property of the company was transferred
to the city. He says himself: “I don’t re
member how long it is since I stopped
pajing rent. It was when the gas office
was on Seventh street. I went there one
day with my rent and offered it to Mr.
White, who had charge of the gas com
pany’s real estate, but he refused to take
it and told me that it was to be paid as
the city treasurer’s office in the future. 1
took it up there, and a young man there
said be could not take it, as be couldn’t
find record of any such house lie told mo
that they would notify me when they were
reaily to take my money. I went back to
Mr. White, and he advised me to go home
and wait until I heard from them. Well,
I waited. ’’
Nobody came to collect money until re
cently, when the city discovered its title
and sent a man to collect. The tenant got
a day to consider and promptly skipped.
But his experience with a free rent does
not seem to have been satisfactory, if w e
may trust bis wife. "Yes,” says she re
sentfully, "he thought it was a snap, and
look where he is now—no money, no busi
ness, looking for a job, and a family to
support. He wouldn't take my advice and
move to where business was good, but he
hugged his snap and stuck there in that
stagnant neighborhood and spent money
on repairs for the house and didn’t make
any money.”—Philadelphia Record.

Absolutely Pure
Leighton’s True Art.
An eminent American artist, who is now
an old man, has never forgotten the lesson
he learned from Sir Frederick Leighton in
his youth. Leighton was then a brilliant
and fascinating young painter, whose fu
ture was still before him. He was at weak
upon an Italian landscape or upon a pic
ture with an Italian background. In that
background he was anxious to introduce
an olnetree. He remembered a tree which
be had seen in the south of Italy and re
membered it quite distinctly enough to
reproduce it, but he was not content to
trust his memory.
The American artist remembers how
Leighton came into a case in Romo on his
way to southern Italy, making the long
journey from England for the express pur
pose of studying that olive tree and of tak
ing home an exact sketch of it, and he re
members also how, four or five weeks
later, the ardent young Englishman, bril
liant, enthusiastic, versatile, but with a
capacity for taking pains, reappeared with
a wonderful sketch of the olive tree, upon
which he had spent days of unbroken ob
servation and work. From this little in
cident the American student learned a les
son which be never forgot, and which
went far to secure the success which came
to him in later life. The story illustrates
the great quality which lies behind all real
success, alike for the 11. an of genius and
the man of talent. Outlook.

The Reasons of It
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such
high esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Fond
pianos in preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that led nearly two hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason for deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from
start to finish, and the conscientious and
intelligent attention given to even the
smallest details of coustruetion that is the
reason why the Ivers & Pond Riano can
be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear.

The Honorable J. F. Greer, one of the
best known and most highly respected
county Judges of the State of Florida,
writes of his horrible sufferings from
Inflammatory Rheumatism:
Qfuce of J. F. Greer. Couxty Judge, I
Green Cove Springs, Clay Co., Fla. (
GENTLEMEN: Twenty-three years ago I
was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism.
I was attended by the most eminent physician
in the land. I visited the great Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., the noted Hot Springs of Ar
kansas, and many other watering places,
always consulting with tbe-local physicians for
directions, and finally came to' Florida, ter.
years ago. About twoyears ago I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, was confined to my
room for twelve weeks, and during that time
was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was
good for impurities of the blood. After use
ing two small bottles I was relieved. At four
different times since I have had slight attacks
and each time I have taken two small bottles
of P. P P., and have been relieved, and I con
sider p. P. I*, the best medicine ot its kind.
Respectfully, J. Fl GREER.
James M. Newton, of Aberdeen, Ohio,
says he bought a bottle of I’. P. P. at
Hot Springs, Arkansas, and it did him
more good than three months’ treat
ment at Hot Springs,
Rheumatism, as well as sciatica and
gout, is cured by a course of P. P. P,,
Lippman’s Great Remedy.
P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, is
a friend indeed to weak women. It is
a positive and speedy cure for general
weakness and nervousness.
All skin diseases are cured by it; any
thing from pimples to the worst cases
of eczemas succumbing to the wonde”-
ful healing powers of P. P. P.
Dyspepsia and indigestion in their
worst form are cured by it. As a tonic
to restore the appetite and to regain
lost vigor, it is simply marvelous.
P. P. P. is the best spring- medicine
in the world. It removes that heavy,
out-of-sorts feeling and restores you to

Maps and Ilistoriea Disagree.
“All the histories are wrong or else the
government has made a mistake on its
new United States maps.” said Superin
tendent J. M. Greenwood. “The official
maps issued by the department of the in
terior have the Louisiana purchase so
marked as to include Colorado and Wash
ington, making the territory purchased
run to the Pacific coast. All the histories
I have ever studied gave the Louisiana
purchase as only extending to Oregon on
the west. ”
Professor Greenwood then secured a pile
of histories and a number of books recog
nized as authorities on United States his
tory. Each of these plainly stated that the
territory ceded by France’ to the United
States in 1803 simply extended to the base
of the Rocky mountains on the northwest.
But the latest official maps issued by Un
cle Sam, which nearly cover a side wall in
an ordinary room, have the boundaries of
: the ‘‘Louisiana purchase” marked in red
and extending to the Pacific ocean from
the gulf of Mexico.
“There is clearly a big mistake some
where,” said Mr. Greenwood. And a num
ber of persons to whom the mistake was
pointed out agreed that either the histories
or the officials at Washington had made an
error.— Kansas City Journal.
