IN SUFFRAGE Picthfork Ben Fears Movement Will Destroy Good Women—Com- pares Country to Rome. Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.—Sen- ator Tillman, showing some of the old-time vigor that won him the so- briquet of ‘Pitchfork Ben,’’ pitched into woman suffrage in a Senate speech today. “It is a beautiful dream,”’ said he, “that female suffrage will purify pol- itics, The vital and important thing for us to consider is the effect on] women themselves. We had better endure the evils of corruption in pol- itics and debauchery in our govern- ment rather than bring about a con- dition which will mar the beauty and dim the luster of the glorious woman- hood to which we have been accus- tomed all our lives. “We can better afford to have de- graded and corrupt politics than de- graded and bad women. To have both in ever-increasing degree, as was the case in Rome, would make the world so unspeakbly horrible as well as ‘so corrupt that good men and women would disappear from the face of the earth and civilization would be blotted out. “Iam so thoroughly a concert to the belief that you cannot touch pitch without being defiled that I shudder to think of the consequences to the womanhood of America should suf- frage become universal, taking in both sexes and all races. Yet the experiment is going to be tried, I fear.”’ Senator Tillman said the demand of women for suffrage was growing too fast to be stopped by ‘“‘old fogies’’ like himself. 4 “T believe woman will improve pol- itics,” said he, “‘but ultimately poli- tics will destroy her as we know her and love her, and when our good women are no longer to be found the doom of the Republic is near.’’ Senator Tillman included in his speech a vigorous attack upon the di- vorce evil and referred to the Diggs- Caminetti white slave cases in Cali- ornia. “If the California men had our cus- toms,’’ he cried, ‘‘Diggs and Cami- netti would not be alive now, because they would have been shot like dogs and the fathers of the girls they have ruined would be acquitted almost without the jury leaving the box. The unwritten law is the best law to pro- pd women’s virtue that I have heard of.” The danger from woman suffrage, said Senator Tillman, was increased by the “cowardice of public men everywhere.” Restoring the Bison _ The American bison, once lord of the Western plains in years gone by, is not decreasing in numbers, as is the popular conception, but is increas- ing. This is shown in the sixth an- nual report of the American Bison Society, the organization which is re- sponsible for this condition. The fact is made known in the report that there are many people in the United States especially children, who have never seen any specimens of the great American animal. To rectify this condition the society intends making earnest efforts toward the creation of the State herds of bison in differ- ent States, and also to the establish- ment of municipal herds. New York and Missouri are expected to establish State herds, and, according to the re- port, Atlanta, Ga., and Memphis, Tenn., are considering founding city herds. At present there are 2064 bison in captivity in North America. The total shows a steady increase from year to year.—New Orleans Picayune.

He was ona load of hay when alittle wind blew the load of hay over and threw him off. As he fell a pitchfork struck him in the back making quite a wound. But we think that the Colonel will pull through all right. Pearly Leandreth and wife of Jop- lin, Mo., are visiting friends and rel- atives here. He reports a good rain down there last week. JOHNNY. Ninety-Seven Per Cent Sober Old-time-man-of-war’s men, could they come back into service to-day, would find more to confuse them than new-fangled guns, fighting tops and other paraphernalia of a like kind. They would feel utterly alone and forlorn in the presence of the new sailor. The two kinds would be strangers to one another. The old-time jackie, with his sheath knife, his flaring trousers, his mut- ton-chop whiskers and his devil-may- care dislike of responsibility, loved his grog. It was the old custom to serve out to each sailor a stated amount daily, and many a sailor took his first drink on a warship. Contrast this with the evidence of a chaplain on one of the largest bat- tleships of the American Navy. He states that carefully prepared statis- tics show irrefutably that 12 per cent of the men are total abstainers and that 85 per cent are temperate; that is to say, they take only an occasion- aldrink. The remaining 3 per cent are intemperate, a proportion which probably holds good among any large group of men either afloat or ashore. Here is a condition which is not to be surpassed in any navy in the world, for what is true of one ship is probably in a large degree true in all. A different condition exists in the army since the abolishment of the canteen. Surrounded by grog shops on every hand, and deprived of light beers at army posts, the American soldier has not always been able to withstand temptation. It would be unfair to place his record against that of the sailor, who is for many weeks ata time free frum bad in- fluences.
