The assertion so constantly made by woman suffragists that the state has for centuries held women in bondage, to the detriment both of the body po- litic and of woman herself, is the sheerest monsense. Our laws are framed to grant to womanthe widest protection, By giving her the suffrage the state would make woman, not only the political equal of man, but his political For centuries, woman, as the weaker of the sexes, has been considered by the state as entitled to greater protection than man. On this account, all laws, wherein the rights-of woman are at stgke, have been made with a view of giving her as much the advantage in their administration as will equalize man’s natural strength and his rights under the same. circumstances com- bined. These additional protections and immunities are not special priv- eleges, but rights which the state con- siders as born with women, and the state has always maintained that the welfare of families i more de- pendent upon sustaining these rights than upon any other condition. In the matter of an assault upon a woman, her oath is considered oqual to the oaths of three men of repute; in divorce laws, everything is to the prejudice of the man, simply because the state considers that the sanctity of the family, its'purity, and the purityjof master. the mother herself. Can it be considered for a moment that society will be benefited by alter- ing these laws, thereby bringing wo- man down to the level of man? Would society be benefited by altering the maxim that woman is the immediate natural protector of her own offspring? If woman be given the power to vote man will have the just right to de- mand that all laws shall be so changed a8 o give to him the same rights and privileges as woman, By taking up the ballot abdicates her time-honored position before the law, be , becomes a law- maker, and it would be an outrage on oath as such law-maker, and upon common sense, that she should make and maintain laws to the disparagement of those who should at least be her equals, but are not. Tt would be in direct violation of the plea by which she mainly obtained the right to vote—the plea of equal rights. But we do not argue that because wonan has succeeded in obtaining the Dallot, the interests of the family, and through the family, the most sacred interests of society, should be outraged or neglected. Tt 1d be just as much the duty of the state to protect these precincis as ever; but, could it be done with -any degree of consist- ency?

The names of Gov. Gear and James on are the most prominent in contest in Towa. The following of ex-Senator Harlan isa al one, and the strength as yet oped by his name is not sufficient to make him a formidable antagonist. Gov. Gear has in his favor a record, which on the whole, has gained him the confidence of the people. - He also possesses the advantage of high official position and the use of the party machinery. dtis generally understood that the ap- poinbment of Judge McDill was a move towards strengthening Governor Gere's canvass. There are those, however, who assert that Senator McDill will be his own successdr. The antagonism existing between the Gere and Wilson Forces is such that no coalition is be- lieved to be impossible, and in case neither are to obtain the requisite number of votes, a combination on Senator McDill is thought to be proba- ble. James F. Wilson ispushing an active canvass for the senatorship and is al- ready laying the wires for capturing the legislature. He will obtain the undivided support of the monopolies. His past record as a railroad attorney and subservient tool of the corportions has gaived him high favor in railway circles. The people of the state, out- side of the raiiroads, are not, however, favorably disposed to Mr. Wilson, and his home paper, the Fair field Ledger, recognizing this fact, has rocently come out in an elaborate defense of his record a5 o fail road attorney. Ttasserts that in Mr. Wilson's argument before the legislature in 1876 he did not express his real sentiments, but simply those of the corporation by which he was employed, and insists that the would besenatoris a firm believer in the right of the people to regulate com- mon carriers for the public good. It is well argued that it “does not matter whether Mr. Wilson affirmed or denied in 1876 the rights of the state to regulate the charges of railroads. What the people of Towa desire to know is how he feels Tupon the question of the state exercis- “ing its rights. ‘The Sioux City Jour- wal is ably opposing Mr. Wilsow s can- didacy and closes a recent editorial as follo.ss: _““The point is that Mr. Wil- om, who is a candidate for the senate of the United States, is in close sym- pathy with the railway corporations of the country on the aatter of state regulation of the business of these + corporations; that he is opposed to icyof Btate” control; that he in' eminent " otherthan private business, the same ‘s that of any other person not in publie aervice—at least, o far as the power to delermine the price for which * he service shall bo performed i con- the | tyrs are made. of her husband, and beslime herself in the gutter of politics for the sake of making a bold display before the world of her newly acquired “free- dom.” Béfore granting woman the ballot, the state had no right to consider that this unity did not exist; the presumption must be in favor of it. “Therefore,” the state witl reason, “ywhy give the ballotto the woman, for if she do not votéas does her hushand, she yiay invite his displeasure.” Surely the state would be guilty of the great- estof crimes by kiowingly adding to the manifold means of destroying the family harmony. The state has nothing to gain what- ever by making & voter of women. By 50 doing, new ills are” showered upon society, the law lifts away that mystic shield which had hung over the head of woman in her own right; and, finally, and saddest of all, woman is brought down from that exalted pedes- tal where she had stood the embodi- ment of peace and motherly blessings, to mingle with harlots and all manner of men in the strife for political domi- nance. Tur annual supply of pital in the east is indicated by the rapidity with which new schemes for investment are taken up. Within the past month new loans amounting to tens of mil- Tions have been eagerly snapped up by the investing public. The Pennsylva- nia railroad has placed on the market the first four-and-a-half-per cent. rail- road loan ever offered in the world, and it has been fifty per cent. over- subscribed, and now, in advance of the issue of the bonds, is quoted at a premium of one per cent. A new tel- egraph company has had offered to it, prior to the opening of the books, all the money for which it asked, and it could have got twice as much on the same terms. _ Half a_dozen railroad companys have found ready purchasers for a new issue of bonds, and mone are now offered at all which do not a; investors. LITERARY NOTES. Octave Feuillet has always been a favorite among the public. His *Count de Camors” and *‘The Amours of Philippe” have had an immense success. “‘Bellah,” for which we prophesy even greater popularity, is a novel of a different type. The scene is laid in Brittany, a part of France more full of picturesque legends than any other. The pesantry there have a character of their own: the women are noted for their beauty, the men for their patriotism. Feuillet has taken an incident'of the Vendean war and interwoven with it a passionate Tove story. Bellah; the heroine, is one of those women whose patriotism it of self-sacrifice are such king, their country, and those they Tove.

Chicago Tribune. A dispatch from an apparently au- thentic source reports that the presi- dent, in conversation with a personal friend on the subject of the controver- sy with Senator Conkling, said: “T presume there are a great many peo- ple who say: ‘Why doesn’t the presi- dent _make some overtures to Senator Conkling and thereby bring about a solution of the now present difficul- ties” Now, if these people will stop to consider that this government consists of three great branches, the executive the judicial, and the legislative, they will see that Conkling is but a small fraction of the latter, whilst the executive is one-third of the whole. Tt should not, there- fore, in my judgment, be expected, and I don’t think the American people would expect the president to make overtures to so small a fraction as one senator out of seventy-six.” If this Do the real attitude of the president, there is no room to suspect that he will weaken by accepting the specious propositions of the Conkling faction to exchange Judge Robertson for Mr. Chandler or for any one else. There is but one course the presi- dent can follow with honor, and that is to stand by his guns. 1f he is going to weaken he should never have made the issue. He has got so far into the fight that he caunot withdraw now without disgracing himself, throwing discredit upon his office, and forfeit- ing the confidence of the people who are looking to him to assert the right which the constitution gives him, and to maintain it, not only a ling, but against every other senator, and all of them combined. The issue involved is a vital one, It is not Sen- ator Conkling's likes or dislikes, but it s the maintenance of clear and undisputed con- stitutional powers of tho executive branch of the government. The presi- dent has eithet to contend for and maintain his prerogatives, as the people who elected him expect him to do, or he has to allow them to be usurped by Senator Cunkling, who was not elected by the people, and by seventy-five others of his associates, i the principle is once established, were not._elected by the people. may be difficult for Senator Conkling to understand why the government should not be run to suit ius likes and disliker and to afford him personal gratification, but if he were nearer to the people and if their will had had anything to do with his election he would have no difficulty in under- standing it. The almost unanjmous yoice of the people and the press should conyince the president that they look to him in this struggle, if it can bo dignified with the name of a struggle, to make no bargains, effect no exchanges, ac- cept no compromises. All he ghas to do is to wait and let the senate act, and not withdraw one inch from the r\,in.m he has taken. If they re- use to canfirm his nominations they must take the responsibility. If they dictate to him the names of ofticjals, he must disregard thew. 1f thoy re- ject, he can send them in again, un- loss there is cause. If a nomination is imgroper, the president should not have made it. 1f the nomination, on the other hand, is_proper, the senate has no right to reject it, because the senate is not the executive power. The position taken by Sengtar Conkling, therefore, ix simply an im- pertinent ome, and the president should fight this out on his line if jt takes all summer without any care whetiior b uffends Senator Conkling as to what he may like or dislike. The latter’s reasons for rejecting Judge Robertson are both impudent and in- decent, and the sooner he is rebuked, and made to feel, and know, and oc- eupy his place, and keep himself with- in the line of his own duties, and refrain from interference with the constitutional rights of the president, the souner this small fraction of a small partion of the legiglative power will keep within the bounds of deco- ram and decency. In popular par- lancs, il that the president needs to show is that he fias *'sand in ijim,” and we beliexe he has it, and will not give up his rights to avoid offending Senator Conkling or any nther man. AMERICAN PORK, National Associated Fress. WasuiNorox, May 16.—In view of the recent action taken by the French and other Buropean goyernments in regard to American pork, as well as to be able to correct by positive and per- sonal evidence, the exaggerated reports which are publishéd in Europe con- cerning hog-cholera and ~ trichine among American . swine, Secretary Blaine sent the chief of the bureau of statistics, of the department of state to Chicago and Cincinnati, to investi- gate the entire question of hog-raising and pork-packing in the west in all its phases “from the farm to the ship.” Ti aceopdance with the secretary’s instructions, this gentleman visited representative hog raisers, buyers, shippers, packing houses, stock yards, rendering establishmens, health off cers and forwarding agents; and has now submitted his report which will be immediately published by the de- partment for circulation in Europe. The oqnalusions arrivedat in this re- port, are as folluw 1. That the swine of America are of the best and purest broods and aro fed and fattened for markets on corn, It is not believed that swine are thus fed in any other country. 2. That the reports published in Europe concerning the death of Amer- ican hogs from hog-cholera, are gross exaggeration 3. That the percentage of deaths among American swine from diseaso is no greater than the percentage of deaths among European swine from similar diseases. 4. That American hogs which have died or may die from cholera or from any cause whatever, can have no rela- tion to the meat product, (cxcept to decrease it) as such animals cannot by any possibility pass the severe scruti- ny and inspection to which hogs des- tined for killing and curing are sub- ject. That, even if it were possible to pass such inspection, no art of the carer could convert such animals into . excited and jos- tered in parts of Europe by interested persons, that any portion of hogs, which have died or may die of chol- era or from any other cause, is or can be converted into merchantable lard, are founded on the grossest ignoranc, | for merchantable lard cannot_be pro- duced from such dead animals. 6. That every pound of tha ww- duct rendered from diseased hogs—e: ccept that part used as a fertilizer— plainly marked *brown “white grease,” or ‘‘dead hogy' grease,” and sold ag such, largely, to w;dp‘:]\muiw:udmn, and that s solor +and odor preclude it from being mis- takon for and, : 7. That the same care is taken in the handling and manufacture of American lard which is taken in the handling and curing of American meats, and that, as the corn-fed American hog is the cleanest of species anywhere, it is undeniable that rican Iard is the purest lard in is or not, or without the slightest regard | * ts | condition, but strong hopes are enter- though this question is thus far larg. y one’of suppositio n), is in all proba. bility, by reason of the superiority .of the breed and feed, much less than that among the hogs in any other country. [9.';];.: thefreedom fmrl;(l trichinosis of the two t -consumis centres of the 5‘;‘&, clrugo and G cinniati furnishes the strongest possible evidence of the purity of American pork. In Chicago for a series of years in which forty thousand deaths wero reported with their causes, only two cases of trichinosis were reported. In Cincinnati during the same period not one case was reported. 10. That the reported cases of trichinosis have resulted from_eating uncooked meat; shown to be inferior or rejected, and that thorough cook- ing entirely destroys. this parasite and removes all danger, in this regard, from eating pork. 11 That the selection, inspection, and killing of American hogs, and the subsequent handling and_ curing of the meat, are not surpassed, if at all equalled for care, precision, and understanding, by the packersor meat curers ot any other country. 12. That, as a rule, the hogs select- ed for foreign trade are in all respects equal to the very best disposed of in our home market. 13. That the great exaggerations so industriously spread in regard to dis- eased pork, have been aided by the different significations attached to the word ““pij Tn Europe it is used as the synonym of hog, whereas in Amer- ica it means the young swine under six months, and generally refers to those only a fow weeks old. The number of “pigs” that die from va- rious causes compared with the num- bers of “‘hogs” that die, is very large and grossly erroneous conclusions are formed by confounding the two words.
