U 1. L. to adopt the franchise hesitate a moment in scratching off leparttnent.” the bad und substituting the good. It is just so with the Democrats. In a recent letter to the Atlanta ons'ltution a lady of the Industrial College Faculty, after asserting with s • ming satis'actiou that the Georgia g.rls have no vote and do not want one, proceeded to argue the impor tance of their education on the ground t nt. 1 hey will be the trainers of vo ters. She thereby ranged herself vii h a numerous class who involun- rily devise argumeuts for woman iffrage. If wemen are incompetent 1 he duties of citizenship, they are ompetent to (he duties of mater- ty. If they do not, themselves want a vote they aie incompetent to train voters. Ad i conversely, she who is equipped for training others to dis- 1 irge the duties of citizenship is equipped for discharging those duties h .self. Indifference to personal own er?,hip of the ballot is inconsonant with realization of its power aud of ie responsibility its possession im- no-ie-. Seventy-five per cent, of the of tiie United States are omen. Historians date the begiu- i.itr of Rome’s decline from the day hich her oil 'Zens began to employ tutors for their children. These t, png- are worthy to be pondered by l esinen. They are of more import tide 1 iseudo-Republic than is tariff form or bi metallic coinage. Let llnmhia flatter herself that her ar— pang led banner forever shall n.ve;” it is not the less an historical hat a declining nation does not ion realize its decline until it lieu. Not until the mothers of oe are admitted to the rights hiHes of citizenship will the know a real republic or one i'l .oidufe The product of a Ids- (I parentage will not and be a freeman.

I have teen tiie effects of female suffrage, and instead of being a means of encour agement to fraud aud corruption, it tends greatly to purify elections.” **• The Knights of labor at their recent convention in Ohio, represent ing about 270,000 .members, passe i resolutions favoring woman suffrage, demanding equal pay tor equal work regardless of sex, and indorsing a common standard of purity for men and women. .** The Georgia Women Suffrage Asso ciation hopes to send a delegate to the next annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, which will be held in Boston, Muss., in the coming Jan uary, *** For ages there has been a prodigal waste of breath and ink about “wo man’s refining influence upon man.” A French writer says, “Women teach us repose, civility, and dignity.” With a familiar type of mankind tills is the extent of susceptibility “woman’s refining influence.” After they twain become one flesh it may in many cases be remarked that, of the triple lesson she lias taught him, two-thirds fade from his memory, and, as if in compensation, he rapidly becomes a post-graduate in “repose.” Woman ha- had ou man a superfi cially refining influence which uiani fests itself in his apparent defereuce, and other trivial visibles—hoodwiuk- ers all. The fact that she herself is in subjection near nineteen hundred years after the beginning of the Chris- tia.11 era does not, commend tiie force of her “refining influence.” They who so loudly pronounce her “a thing complete” and claim for her such powers divine, do so in politic praise or affected sentimentalism aud have, evidently, the least genuine respect for her. They are the same who con spire to withhold from her the only po ition in which such pnwe s, if she has them, could tie effectually em p'oyed. After ages of “woman’s re fining inttu nee" there is to da) widely distributed species of mankind wiio -s more thoughtful ot her honor than his own. He would have her regard this as a high order of “chiy airy,” but the woman of understand iug does not so eonArie it. H. Augusta Howard, Columbus, Ga FLOATS. IS There i member 8.

The Speaker of tiie House, i- h was escorted to the Speaker’- onan af er having been elected t>\ unanimous vote ..f die dem i Represen'atiyes today, was gi by salvo after salvo if apolau- i'- ih ( the floor and from the gailene-. d j from the earnest manner fn win.- he was applauded by every d- . - | in the chamber, it. was nppaivn t‘.at } the long aud hoMy contested tiglu lu i the caucus—the longest 'or uninv years had left no bad bloo<4 Hinm.g the friends of the defeated candid res. Another noticeable and eo.u- mandable thing is that, lie (m u >s of the v'ctorious candidate have shown no disposition to crow ove.r the friends of those who wer>- defeated. The democrats of the House are today a muted aud com pact body, aud there is evert . ros pect of their rema'nlugsiich, not with tanding the herculean efforts o the republicans to create dlscor.i, an - failing in that, to create the public impreesfon that there is discord. The Speaker’s desk was liter Ily cov ered with flowers, sent by udurriug frieuds, a few minutes a. ter lie took his seat. The first, busiuess after th. election of th" Speaker was the el o- tion of the other House officers. The retiring republic ollcials were all given the complimentary nominal ion of their party, although i is known that some of the republicans were opposed to so honoring Mr. Reed Never was the circus which is al ways a part of the drawing by lottery fpr seats in the House on the first day of a new Congress, more eujoyed Ojr the members and spectators t< >au it was today, aud theriug-leaders in the fun were mostly the men whose uerves bad been racked to their utmost ten sion during the long uncertain period of the Speakership contest in caucus Thq guyety of the members today wak therefore but the natur al reaotion of nature. The spectators in tiie galleries also took part in thesport. When the members were all huddled up in the open spaces behind the seats and the blind-folded boy made his appearance to begin drawiug the numbered marbles out oi ihe box, such remarks as: "You’ll get pulledforruuning a lottery”, “where’s the oops,” and “Wanamaker will be after you,” might have been heard in ail parts of the galle-ies, and even up on the floor of the House. Never before were there so many new faces in a single Congress, and in consequence there has been an un usual run on the first e.ti'iori of the Congressional Directory. Every hod) wants to find out something ub mi the unknown men. The occupations of the Representatives, as given in tiie Directory, show that the lawyers are still in the majority, there being 213 <vho are owners of legal “sheepskins.” Farmers came next, with 65, school teachers 42, merchants 24, muuufac Hirer.-20, hunkers and capitalists 19, journalists 10, printers 9, physicians 5, sailors 3, clergymen 2, 1 miner, 1 machinist,1 blacksmith, 1 bookbinder, 1 earpenter, 1 tanner, 1 car flnishei and 1 harnessmaker. Tiie total of occupations given is greater than the membership,but that is because some of the members have followed more than one occupation. 9of themember- were born in Ireland, 3 in Germany, 3 in Canada, 2 in Norway ; 1 in Swed en, 1 in Greece, 1 in England, and 1 in Bcotland. It. would be dilficut to get more representative body to gether. The fellow who thinks he knows what the House is gnirig to do, is as numerous as usual, but the man who really knows what the House will do does not exist. I* will take some little time for the members to confer aud arrive at someconclusion. Noth ing will be done hastily, and nothing will be done before it has been ap proved with practical unanimity by the democratic members. Every mem ber with whom your correspondent lias talked appears to fully realize that, upon the action or nouaotion of the House may depend tlie election of a democratic President next year. The Senate also lias an influx of new members, there being 16 of them, including the three Alliance Senators, Irby, Peffer and Kyle, the first of whom will vote with the democrats, Highest of all in Leavening Pc^ver.—Latest U.
