WOMEN IN POLITICS.
The south has long held opinions
widely different from other sections
of the country on the question of women
in public life. For long haired men and
short haired women it has always had
in aversion. While freely admitting the
intellectual capacity of women for the
political arena it has constantly held
that nature had marked out for her other
and higher lines of life, So firmly em
bedded is this in our people that not one
manin a thousand agrees with the third
in its efforts to bankrupt home life in
order to give to the women the right of
suffrage.
Out west the seeds of woman’s suf
frage are already bearing a lovely crop.
A few days ago several women had their
children baptised, and a part of the bap
tismal vow was that they would teach
their children to believe in a woman’s
suffrage. It was not stated whether the
officiating minister at thts piece of snc-i
riligious conduct was in petticoats, ac
corl:iin,u" to the new order of things, or
was 4 long haired, hen-pecked husband.,
So much for the religious, or. rather
irreligious, aspect of the case. Inthings
politieal the t. p. movement is bringing
her into great promingnce, |
In Montana, at the recent election,
Miss Ella Knowles was elected attorney
ceneral of the state, and this, too, not
;.\"itlmmnnil.g that she had been admit
ted to the bar but two years. With two
year’s practice no person, either male or
female, is qualified for so respimsible a
p};l.(:e, but if Montana can stand it, we
will manage to endure it, and especially
as we are fargremoved from the seat of
war. Miss Knowles did well to remain a
Miss, as she is hardly competent to man
age the aifairs of state and look after a
man besides.
But the height is reached when the
news comes that ‘“dister Mary Ellen
Lease” is the t. p. candidate for the U.
S. senate from Kansas, Mr. Lease has
not been heard from. The supposition
is that he has bought him a nursing bot
tle and a darning gourd and is fixing up
to keep the babies and the socks in re
pair while his wife spends her time in
Washington among those awful men who
shocked the sensitive nerves of Tom
Watson so badly.
This is the first crop of the new move
ment. May it be the last. From all
such may the land be delivered.

AN APPALLING ROBBERY.
The Democratic press,from Georgia to
California, ought not to mince words
new in telling the people about the gi
gantic robbery that is being perpetrated
on them by the Republican system. It
was President Garfield who declared
that the cost of pensions would never ex
ceed 30,000,000, And it ought never to
have exceeded it.
The Republican party has extended
the system year by year, until the next
annual appropriation will reach - the
enormous aggregate of $175,000,900,
But thatis not the whole story. The
Secretary of the Treasury, Foster, hos
‘aken the public into his confidence o
the extent of declaring that the expendi
tures for pensiouns will soon reach $250,-
000,000 annually., Raum’s bureau has
inflated the pension rolls until they now
contain 836,000 names. After all these
years, there werc admitted this year to
the rolls 180,000 new pensioneis.
The country has permitted this pen
sion steal to go on year after year, in
spiteof the frequent exposures of the
corrupt methods practiced, by the pen
sion bureau. The time has come when
the people will be fools if they do mnot
demand that the axe be applied to the
system. It .is so honeycombed with
frand and thievery that it is doubtral
if any other remedy can be applied ex
cept to drag it up, root and branch, and
wipe it out. The magnitude of the rob
bery is simply appalling. The Dem
ocratic party can do the country a pa -
riotie service by saving the people from
a continuation of this now open and
cruel plondering. If the present pen
sion roll can be purged of bogus and un
deserving pensioners, purge it:if not,
abolish the entiresystem and b:gin anew,
creating a peunsion list of reserving vet
erans. The people will cheerfully pay
the money for such pensions, and it is all
they should be isked to pay.—Colum
bus Enquirer-Sun.
It appears that the cotton manufactur
ers of Mossachusetts and Rhode Tlsland
are not dismayed at the democratic vic
tory of the other day, judging from their
action in voiing to increase the wages of
their employes. Business men who ex
pected legisl: tion at an early day tlat
would ruin their trade weuld hardly be
found taking such steps. They would
be more likely to reduce wages in order
to make as much money as possible be
fore the coming of the era of depression
and calawity. The raising of wages at
Lowell and Providence, therefore, dis
credits the wail of the republicans that
hard times, low wages and idle factories
will be the order during the next four
years.
MEL BrßaAxca has worked his jawea
great deal for the last two years. He
will soon begin to work his legs in pay
ment of an election bet. According to
the conditions of the bet, he will walk
from Thomson to Augusta. Had Wat
son won the other fellow would have
done the walking. It is to be hoped that
he will blist r his heels, and thus draw
some inflammation from the place where
his brains ought to be.
It is to be hoped that the advance in
the price of cotton will not cause the
farmers to plant an overcrop next year.
Another short crop, nnder favorable leg
lazion,will carry the price above 11 cents.
Let the cotton crop be a surplus erop;
let there be plenty of hog and hominy
raised, and ours will be a happy, prosper
ous people,

The exaet situation of the geograph
ical center of the United States is a sur
prise to auy one who has not ‘given the
subject careful attention. The most
eastern portion of the United States is
Quoddy Head, Me.; the western, Attoo
Island Alaska; the most northern, Point
Barrow, Alaska; the most southern, Key
West, Fla. The center of the quadran
gular figure formed by uniting these four
points is located at the crossing of fifty
five degrees north latitude and 110 de
grees west longitude, about four hun
dred and|twenty miles north of the north
ern line of Montana. It is also true of
the United States, as of Grea: Britian,
that the sun never sets on our territory,
for when it is 6 o’clock p. m., on Attoo
island, it is 9:36 o’clock a. m. on the fol
lowing day at East Port, Me.

KEEP YUUR BLOOD PURF
One of the most frequent and insidions
causes of bad health is impure blood.
This disorder of the system does not al
ways manifest itself outwardly by sores,
eruptions, etc., quite often the s~ reness
is altogether internal, The kidneys feel
sore, the liver feels sore, the lungs feel
sore, and a decay sets in that too often
ends fatally. It is much more serious
for blood poison to manifest itself inter
nally than externally. In such cases
neglect means death, for the vital organs
once contaminated grow worse unless
they grow better, and will never grow
better unless the proper remedy is ap
plied. There is no remedy that equals
Pr. John Ball’s Sarsaparilia
as a carative agent in cases of blood pois
on. When other remedies miserably fail
to give relief, this remedy always checks
its terribie ravages, even in instances of
serofula or syphillis, and restores the
blood to a state of absolute purity.

A physician of Waco, Texas, writes:

cases of bload poison being eured by Dr.
John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, no other reme

manufactured.” .
