Now, Mr. Gago, if you iiavo cauglit your breath, let us talk about this a lit-tle. We hope you will take pains to tjuote these questions in your paper and answer them. You speak of Begole as "honest." That word means a great deal and we take the liberty to ad::

Was it honest for Begole to pretend to bo opposed to the use of railway passes' and then, when elected, not only to use such passes but solicit them?

Was it honest for him to deny having used those passes when he had used them repeatedly?

Was it honest for him. after it had been clearly proved that he used passes, to claim that he had never doiieso,when upon the state's business, the fact being —as was proved—that ho had often so used them?

Is it honest for him fo bo in politics opposed to national banks and in busi-ness to be a national hanker?

Was it honest for him to commend civil service reform in his message, and not only fad to practice it himself but countenance all his appointees in fla-grant violation of its principles?

Was it honest for him, pretending to bo a temperance man, and being the largest stockholder in the temperance al-liance, to omit saying when questioned by tho state liquor dealers' association, that he was in favor of submitting tho prohibitory amendment?

Was it honest and manly in him to circulate printed slanders and lies, which ho acknowledged to be such after election, against tho personal character of Uov. Jerome?

Now, do not give us some contradict-ing generalities, in your own confident and self-satisfying style, but answer as plainly and circumstantially as we have asked.

The Republican press are very well pleased with Mr. Begole as a r. presenta tive of the Qreenback-Democral ic com-bination. and their object in so joinled-ly calling attention to his pretense and dishonesty is to savo the Republicans and other decent citizens of the stale from tho further disgrace of his olHcial e x i s t e n c e . - G a z e l l e .

Tho editor of the Loader will probably excuse himself by saying he isn't lured for tho purpose of answering such ques tions.

—The Detroit Post and Tribune repub-lishes an article from the Caro Acivertis-or in which appears this paragraph:

" W o u l d n o t t h o t e m p e r a n c e p e o p l e of this s t a t e w h o h a v e c o m e to b e l i e v e thai the ir n i i ss ion is to d e s t r o y t h e R e p u b l i c a n p a r l y , b e c a u s e that par -ty . h a v i n g a m a j o r i t y in t h e l eg i s la ture , fa i led to s u b m i t to t h e p e o p l e t h e p r o h l b l t o r y a m e n d m e n t , t lo w e l l to r e a s o n wi th t h e m s e l v e s awhi l e?

The Advertiser is mistaken iu saying that the Republican members of the leg-islature from Kent voted against sub-mitting the amendment. Senator Iline and Represrntative Sellers the Republi-can members from Kent, both voted in favor of Kubmitting the amendment, and "a majority of their constituenta'' did not request them to vote against it. Tho Advertiser is also in error when it speaks of the Republican majority rail-ing to submit, etc. I t requires a two-thirds vote in each house to "submit" and the Republicans didn't have a two-thirds vote m either house. Tho Post ana Tribune should have corrected these little errors. By referring to tho Legis-lative Journal of April 25 ct 20. each member's vote will bo found correctly recorded.

—"A word of warning, ' "especially addressed to country Reimblicans iu Michigan," comes from the Detroit Evening News. This word of warning warns the country Republicans to bo on their guard lest the "bosses" coerce them in the matter and manner of choosing delegates to tho Republican National Convention. The News' kindly interest in Iho wolfareof the country Republicans of Michigan shall never be forgotten. It seems very si range, as now we stop to think of it. that before the News was born the country Republicans of Mich igan got along so well—without even •, word of warning.

—The able and accomplished editor of the Grand Rapids Leader, whose cood-ness of heart is an item worth mention-ing all alone by itself, occasionally be-stows a compliment upon the JOURNAL which, while it may cost him nothing, makes us feel that, notwithstanding all the trials and vexations of this world, life is worth the living. Bless you, my boy, bless you.

—Gen. W. T. Sherman and Robert T. Lincoln would constitute a presidential ticket that would make democracy fall into its boots out of sight. A Hip for "locality"—Sherman could carry New York and as many other eastern states as any eastern man and Lincoln is the strongest man for the second place in the whole country. Edmunds and Lin-coln or Arthur and Lincoln would be strong and would probably win, but "Old Tectimp" would stir up the hoys and show the country another "march to I he sea " that v mid make Washing-ton's statue (almost) turn a hand-spring. •'Shermnn and Lincoln" wmld bring out the biggest torchlight procession ever seen in this country.

—Congressman Ilousenian, who was so fierce for free trade only a few weeks ago, has experienced a chango of heart on the tarifT question and is now doing his best to prevent tho removal of the du-ty on lumber. Why this sudden con-version? He has been hearing from some of hi3"oonstits." Mr. Houseman has become so thoroughly converted that he now says if lumber is put on the free list "it will ruin the Michigan lumber interests and defeat the demo-civ.tic p irty m tha state." Whew! Whop! Whoop! Houseman is "tight at him-self" as the poet says.

—The election of " Jo" Blackburn to the United States Senate was a very proper thing for the Kentucky bourbons to labor for. He would not do to rep-resent Michigan at Washington but he is eminently a representative of the dominant political party of "Old Kain-tuck." If we were an ex-reb, with the "lost cause" still dear to our heart, we'd liuiTab for "Jo." Blackburn. Not being one o f ' e m we stifle the hurrah with

comparative ease.

—The Barry County greonbackers at a recent meeting resolved to drop their party name (Greenback) and to adopt "Anti-Monopolists"' instead. There is where they made a mistake. Instead of dropping their party name they should have dropped their party and saved their Greenbacks.

—Brooklyn's best editor. Thomas Kin-sella, whose death occurred a few days since, left $200,000 worth of property. This item will be long remembered by country editors and may tend to soften their doubts concerning the miracfes of the Bible.

—An Oregon paper says the Chinese

out there don't eat rat pie, but they do eat three-fourths of all tho chickens and nine-tenths of all the tamo ducks in market, which seems very queuerious to us who have been taught to believe that they were only "Rough on Rats."

—Should Ben Butler secure the nomi-nation for president there would be a big boom in sugar in this country It would take, the entire home supply to make the pill go down in the south'-rn ctates.

—Tho Chicago News nominates Gen. Hancock for president and says Han-cock's assertion is true that the tariff question is only a local issue. The News must have changed drinks lately.

—Merritt Mooro,«/ia« the Union Party —falls into the habit of kicking those who don't agree with him, with tho eaf-e of a thoroughbred. Well, we all haye our peculiar peculiarities.

—Robert Toombs once said that Wen-dell Phillips was an "infernal machine set to music." Toombs was always out of tune—and was therefore not like Phillips.

—Presidential preferences indicated here and there show that James G. Blaine is still a great favorite in Michi-gan. Well. Iu* is entitled to a host of friends.

—Next to the laugh of a child we love to hear the h i e Governor of Massachu-setts hurrah for Ben Butler. He does it so earnestly as to make it seem as if In* really had confidence in his man.

—Canadians complain because Amer-icans do too much fishing over the line. Canada ought to regard it as a compli-ment when Americans bob for Canadian brain food.

- If Old Monopoly Payne, of Ohio, is good democratic timber for president why isn't O(ld) M(onopoly) Barnes, of Lansing, good fusion timber for govern-

or?

—The Big Rapids Herald (Dem ) kicks vigorously against the proposition to renominato Begole. It also wants not any Ben Butler for president.

• —A few years ago much was said m favor of cremation but this method of disposing of dead bodies does not seem to gain favor very rapidly.

—Theodore Tilton is basking his am-brosial-silver locks in southern France. Ills strutly presence will be felt even

there.

—When the New York Sun editor nels real bilious he goes for Kx-l'residenf Hayes. La te r - He is real bilious often.

—The political sea hears a placid bo-som now but it won't be long before it will begin to heav. very billowy.

—Ex congressman Hubbell says he is forever out of politics. So is A.Jackson.

There is a little secret history about that letter that will be amusing to those who are laughing at me and my female clerk who cannot spell suffrage. The fact is lhat my clerk made a correct cony of the letter, which 1 approved, and which was then sent to a male clerk, a college graduate, to make a large miiuher of copies. Every copy which this genlleman pre-pared read 'siifferage,' and, still more startling, a number of members of congnss. in replying to the letter, adopt-ed the same unique orthography,""

A most remarkable Convention will be held iu Cincinnati, beginning March 25, 188-1, in the Great Music Hall and Expo-sition Building of lhat city.

We want Live Energetic and Capable Agents in every county in the United States and Canada, to sell a patent arti-cle of great merit, on its merits.

With all these advantages our our agents, and the lact that it is an ar-ticle that can bo sold to every house-owner,it might not be necessary to make an "Extvaonlinary Offer'' to secure good agents at once, but we have con luded to make it to show, not only our econfi-dence in tho merits of our inventlo n, but in its salability by any agent that will handle it with energy. Our agents now at work are making from 1150 to |<)00 a month < lear, and this fact makes it safe tor us to make our offer to all who are out of employment. Any agent that will give our business a thirty days trial and fail to clear at least $100 iu this time above all e.epenses, can return all goods unsold to us and, we will refund tho money paid for them. Any agent or General Agent who would like ten or more counties and work them through sub-agents for 90 days, and fail to clear at least $750 above all expenses, can re-turn all unsold and get their money back. No other employer of agents ever da red to make such offers, nor would wo if we did not know that we have agents now making more than double the amount we guaranteed, and that but two sales a day would give a profit of over $125 a month, and that one of our agents took 18 orders iu one day. Our large descrip-tive circulars explain our offer fully, and these we wish to send to every one out of employment who will send us three one cent stamps for postage.

osr. i" of the iiood ransville, whendu ninny collins had bvn un-

1 em thiil ami »'veral bo<Iios carried down tho I river. Sl.ulls and bones were uncovered and : mingled with tho driftwood and debris of

every description. Out of 100 houses in Cochransville, only throe wore left sianding. Tlio residents were In a naked,

j starving condition, being pnictically isolated I from tho worid. They n-.ado a rush for tho | boat, and w hen bread was handed out, sat

down and tearing the loaves apart, ato with I greed and ravenous energy, ea-er lo allay | tho torrib'.e j'aiigs of starvation. I Wi.Mt-N AND CHILDREN WT.ltE IIAItKF<IDT, 1 and some were protected from tho cold by

their calico dresses only. Some of tho women were on their knees praying in the little storm and flood-battered church, when the relief came, and never was it more welcome. On tho way to Parkersburg tho same suc-cession of ruined homos was encountered. This city is in a bad condition in the

pail. Tho foundation of the Methodist church, which cost

$50,000, is giving way aud it WILL UNDOUBTEDLY FALL.

Tho entire business portion was Hooded, and tho losi will reach f000,000. Col. Mor-

j gan has arrived lo act for tho government, j A disj alch from Marietta says: A gov-! eminent vessel left Parkersburg with a big

load of supplies lo assist tho government boat Katio Htoekdale, in relieving the mif-ferers from there to Cincinnati. Governor

! Ban-man, of West Virginia, visited tho boat and ndvised iho Iron City to double back be-tween Parkersburg and Wheeling. Another stop was made at llarmar, where about 0110-Ihirdof Iho remaining supplies were lofts

, What is most nee led now is bedding, cloth-ling, furniture and fuel. Provisions are ho-

iug pi. nlifully supplied to all points with a a few exceptions, which tho Iron City will cover.

( INCIX.VATI, Feb. IS.—Tho river is now re-ceding at tho rate of an inch and a half an hour. It has IH-OH raining steadily all day at points above and has "been cloudy ami misty here, but the fall of water will not materially affect the stage of water hero. Tho indications are

, lhat tho worst has been passed and that by , Wednesday tho water will bo within its bounds and business will bo resumed. One

j engine at tho water-works has been in opera-tion since 0 o'clock, and there are no further fears of a water famine.

Relief boats have beenstarted up and down the river in chargo of government ofllcors, w ith supplies for tho suffering in the smaller towns, and all will IKS in bolter condition within the next twenty-four hours. Sub-scriptions are coming in fast, and tho money is being applied to good purposes; but not-withstanding this fact tho charitably inclined should not withhold their contributions. It will bo weeks before the people in Ihe submerged districts will bo enabled to return to their homes. It will take time to dry out tho houses lo make them inhabitable, ami in tho meantime they will have to bo assisted. Many have lost their entire worldly possessions, aud in some cases barely escaped with their lives.

Tho headquarters of all the relief com-mittees were thronged all day, and all comers were supplied with their needs.

SHAWNEKTOWN, III., Feb. 18.-Tho river is rising throe-eighths of au inch an hour. The cause of tho continued rise is the accumula-tion of backwater from the narrows, twelve miles below. Tho flood will probably reach last year's mark. Should it go higher, tho wholo town will be almost destroyed. The waves of every passing steam-boat lift the houses from their foun-dations. No relief Ins reached hero vet. The tents of the familes camped on lb - hills a mile and a half from town look like the camping-ground of a great nrmy. A cold, lamp northeast wind prevails, adding to the sufferings of tho sick. The Quickstep, a little tug belonging here, undertook to carry a company of newspaper nien through tho backwater lo tho hills. The steam-pipes became entangled in a swinging telegraph wire. There was a nar-row escape from foundering. Some of the passengers jumped into tho watsr, whil-Dlliers took to the boats. All were saved. The liills back of the town are an island. Flocks of wild turkeys have taken refuge on the • hills, being driven from the bottoms.

Mayor Millspaugh estimates that at least 1,000 people in Gallatin county have b-en driven from their homos by tho Hood. Most sf them are 011 tho hills and in immediate need, but when the flood subsides many id them whose houses bavo been swept awaj will have no place to go to and will have to live on public charities. It will be nee issary to feed from 800 to 500 of th mi for a month, and many will have to bo assisted in restoring their houses It i.; esti-mated that from Raleigh to Saline, a dis lance of fifteen miles, 150,000 bushels of corn have been swept away. In this distance only four lots of com, about 50,000 bushel-, have escaped, and nearly all of this is under water. Several new cases of sickness among the refugees were reported.

Now, 1 am very fond of the latter, and always eat them tvlien I can. but from seeing a crowd around my part of the room every day I begin to have some suspicion lhat the proprietor uses me as an advertisement, and that crowds come daily to see the great American tomato eater. lee water especially seems to be regarded as a deadly poi-son, the cause of all the dyspepsia in America.

It is a fact that we do have more dys-pepsia Mian the people here; but 1 think il is due rather to the i|u:intity of food we take than to ihe nalure of il. For many reasons the .|ii.rintity taken here is limited, the chief one being lhat evervthing is so badly prepared lhat no man living umid eat what we would etiil a respeelable meal; then al-o the habit of paying separately f.-r every individual thing one eats, "even to the bread, not comiticiye to a lar 'c an-petite.

The ordinary midday meal here for the better classes is aliout as follows; First, a soup which has a whole legion of names, which are given to it accord-iug as to whether it ciintains saii-oiije, potatoes, liver, or sonii! rt l ier aboinina-lion, the lody always remaining beef soup. This soup is/on the whole, not very bad, Next comes tho inevitable "limdlleiscii, ' lie* boiled meat from which the soup has been made, a dark, dry looking substance, eas.jy chewed, iitit, as ail the salts hav e gone over to the soup, having absolutely no taste; it is easily digested, ami,'though not palatable, is perhaps as nourishing as any oilier meat. Next comes the "liraten. and a glow of satisfaction comes over the face of il»c diner, for he has eaten his ••liindllei-. IT to live and now lives lo eiu ms ••Uraten." This consists of i>akcd. or more generally fried, veal or pork, and ii .scr^d swim-ming in gravy and onio.is. A salad, made either of lettuce or cucuiiibers, which have been soaked in salt water several days to take all t.se colic out of them, is geuer.iily ea: u wi:h this. After this comes ... s .1. nr ••Mehl-spaise, which:;: y iMii-i,-.; nf anything in the world, pr.jvi'.dng we excluViu all that is good. Wi:.! th • d .uac ra ipiart

So care-ful was .Judo,. Davis that no word of any of these helpful acts should creep into the ncwspiipers that only one case was over publicly alluded to. It was that of 11 ragged little newsboy whom Ihe Judge picked up on tlm steps of the capitol, hinigry and cold, one bluster-ing w i ^ e r day. Judge Davis bought his w emp

David Davis was not the moanest man in Washington while he lived here. He did not live at a third-rate hotel, nor did he haggle with tho pie-women

'he capitol. These statements, like many more of the same sort, originated with some of that very numerous class

vet and dirty newspapers, tilled his !.V stomach, clothed Ins naked form,

put something in his pocket for the next day. and slopped his thanks with his big "hand. Judge Davis is as hard a.i llint-rock in the presence of fraud and humbug, and soft as wool to tho imfortunatc and distressed. Wnshiiiij-(uu ''or. I'liila lr filt: 1 Hi /nl.

Mr. Orange Jndd advocates treo planting along the highways, iu the Atii' i-irtiu Afirianlluriil for November. He says: Trees mil) be planted at any lime before the ground freezes solid, or as soon as it fully opens in the soring. Marly spring would be preferable on some accounts; but if left iintil then, tho hurry of work, often delayed by cold and wet weather, is likely to inter-fere. It is better, therefore, to get ev-ery hardy tree possible into its perma-nent growing place now. And .every year it is delayed is no trilling loss. A hundred trees" can be set at a cost of ten to twenty dollars, or for almost no cost, if one has spare time and Ihe sap-lings are easily available. These may in ten to liftcen years grow to be worth three to ton dollars apiece for needed timber and fuel, or for the fruit or nuts produced.

It would be greatly to tho advantage of the country, its climate, and its beauty, if the sides of our public high-* ways generally were planted with trees that furnish shade and ornament while growing, and supply at no distant pe-riod wood for various purposes. Some years before they mature suHiciently to be cut down for use, new plantings 11I-ternnting with tho older trees can be coming forward to take their places, or slow and ipiick-growing varieties may be set. so that when the latter are re-moved the former will be large enougli lo soon till the gaps. It is desirable, however, to have together those that somewhat resemble each other in form at the top. We have in mind a broad street, ninety feet wide, where twenty-live to thirty years ago various oaks were set, thirty to forty feet apart, ten feet from the outside, and between these in a lino with them, (piick-grow-ing maples were planted. Recently the maples were all removed, furnish-ing a cord of woo I npie-e. with consid-erable useful timber, am! the oaks now stand in two beautiful rows.

As to loss of '.and from spreading roots and from shade, if planted a few feet from the fence, the roots can In-kept from the crops by a deep furrow along the inside of the fence every year or two. and the shade will not be a se-rious detriment - none at all from trees on the south side of roads running east-erly aud westerly. Those on the north-erly side of the road furnish a very de-sirable shade lo animals in the •••i:- "u-iug pr .s tuic .

CtNf'LNNATI, Feb. 10.—A terrible disaster occurred at tho southwest corner of Pearl •ind Ludlow streets, in which lea people aro known to havo lost their lives. All night tho two three-story brick bnildiugs. occupied by thirty live tenants "'"d run by Uobert Kyle ami Oeorgo Oest.-r as a Iwarding-houso, were heard to crack, and just before -1 a. m. the rear walls fell with a terrific crash, burying beneath tho brick and timbers a nmnlier of tlie inmates, wiio, if they wore not killed oiilrigir, were iiyid under water by tho lioavy ib-bris until they drowned. The build-in;; is in tho sninir rge-l district, and is en-tirely snrrounded by five feet of water. Police, eo'.diers, and everyone who could get a Ixiat rushed to tho sccuo im mediately. The loud screams of women undo the situation more horrible. Two girls. Utile Loa'4 and Nellie Wood, were taken from the -xcon 1-story front window more dead than alive from fright They said they had hoard the building give way, and tried to arouse the other tenants. By tho dim light, of hint .'rns the police and firemen worked, an alarm having l>eonsounded from box No. 24. They all worked heroically to rescue lliennf ii tu-nates under the iiiius, and succeeded in get-ting out a number. Search for tho bidies was mado all tho morning. This ttul: wiw attende-l with great danger, as the front walls are still standing, although liable to fail: nn l a s th" corner is snrrounded by water over live font deep, work i-i rendered more d.Ill- nil. At noon, all having been renche l thiit could bo taken out, work win suspende I till tho water falls.

OYSTER PIRATES.

I'ltiNcrss ANNK, Md., Feb. 15.—Tl police II et has arrived at OOOMJ creek, and tinned over the captured Maud Mnllerto Justicvj Kobinsoii. Sylvester Cannon, the owner of Iho sohooner, escaped, but his father, II. P. Cannon, tho pirate chief, npp-Mvd before tho magistrate, and cl limed that tho fieizure of tlw Maud Muller was illegal. Justice Robinson ad-iiiilt d the jn-li'X'of the assertion, and the schooner was i t-le.i -ed. II. i'. Cannon carries with him a small arsenal, c insisting ot four revolvers, stuck in his b.dt, and a rille on bis shoulder. As tho pirate chief tri-umphantly sailed the Maud Muller out of the creek, his son Sylvester appeared on the shore with a revolver in each hand, and fired several shots in tho dii-ection of the police boat Leila. Capt. Mitchell sent twelve men in small boats lo arrest him, and as they approached the shore the daring pirate con-tinued to blaze away nt them, but find ing that his shots did not take effect he made his escape in tho dense under-growth. Sinco Mie recent raid mado by tho oyster navy, tho villages iu this vicinity have been infested with pirates, mitubering 'J00. Many of them are in want nnd when they can not get food honestly they take it at the point of the pistol,

ScorMxion Talk in Hanitoba. Wi.vxii'EO, Feb. IS.—Tin delegates of tho

Farmers' union have returned from Ottawa. Their im-moria! to the government, roquest-iug redress of tho grievances nn ler v. Inch tho lieoplo are suffering, received no attention. They report that nothing will be conceded by tho government. Tho people hero are greatly incensed at tho governnient's action. Many r.J vo-cal o open rebellion. Tho council of tho Farmers'union have calletl a convention to meet March o, at which the wholo northwest will bo repivsentol and decisive action taken. 1 he council in their circular say: "Wo have now arrived at a grave crisis in tho history of our province, whore every interest is vitally concernol, aud, laying aside all party and ^political feelings, lot us ns Monitobans continue to demand our just rights and unite iw one man t j secure them." A feeling of intense indig-nation at tho dominion governmout's action is expressed on all sides,and should Norquay's mission to Ottawa prove fniitless, as did that of the farmer's delegates it is impossible to say to what extreme measures the i>cop!o will lie driven to enforce justice from a tyranni-cal government. A revolutionary spirit is spreading among tho people,- and probably will not stop short of secession from iho con-federation.

Dynamite Scacc. BUFFALO, N. Y., Fob. 15.—A few days

ago a satchel was chocked from lluffalo to Glean, and at the latter place the bag burst open and dynamite ran out. A detective opened the satchel and found forty or fifty pounds of Iho explosive nnd a quantity of mercurial caps fur th ing it. (Jreat excitement was caused by these discoveries. Sunday tho ownership of the satchel was traced to tlio door ot W. N. Hunt, in Friendship, N. V., and by means of a telegram ho was induced to go to Oh-an. In tho mcanliino the detec-tive secured a warrant for his arrest from a United Stales conniiissioiicr. After his arrival at Glean Hunt explained the matter in this way: He and John Ulackuiar, of Bolivar, starling for Flo; i in, took with their baggage a quantity of dynamite. They had an idea that it could be ns.'d iu clearing stumps from new lan 1, but found territory so cheap lhat the ex-plosive could not bo profitably employed. Hunt chccked Iho satchel to Bradford, and subsequently to Glean. A very heavy penalty attaches to Iho offense, in order to make sure of the nalure of tho compound a dyna-mite cartridge taken from tho box was ex-ploded. Il is bolieved that Hunt will bo se-verely dealt with.

Don't I,Ike I lie Siclallation Idea. BntUN, Feb. 15.—The Nord Deutsche

Zeitung says editorially: 'The bill in regard to hog products now before tho Amoricau congress is calculated painfully to affect Ger-mans who havo national interests at heart. Tho sting of tho bill is probably directed against Germany aloue. Germany has al-ways maintained a friendly dispodtiuu toward America, and does everything possible to show her friendship. This sudden auti-Geruwn attitude on tho part jf America excites in us regret and astonish ment. We do not assume that American statesmen aro disposed to entertain the opiu-ien that Germany can be induced by repri--ids or threats to rescind measures enfoivcd in tho interest of public health. An inde-pend-nt government can only reply to any attempt at intimidation by counter reprisals consisting in inoreased customs duties and af-fecting tho inlcrcourso of tho two countries.''

"Hut it is not, true thai tin* temperate use of alcohol isboneficial in any degree. Tlie medical faculty of the world deny it; the experience of mankind denies it. It is the first station on the road to both moral and physical ruin. On that road the toe of the temperate drinker touches the heel of the drunkard, and In the end they both reach the same goal—a drunk-ard's death and a pauper's grave."— From a sketch Inj Hon. A. Ii. Richmond in the "Lever."

"On the counter of every fashionable drinking saloon in the country is placed a dish of cloves or burnt coffee, that the gentlemen who drink may preserve their respectability in vain attempts to con real their fetid breath from the outside world, and every such dish is a tribute to the temperance cause: an acknowl-edgement that ' 'We are ashamed of our habit and would conceal it if we could." —Hon. A. li. Richmond, in "Lever."

I believe lhat the great vices in our large cities will never be conquered until the ballot is put into the hands of women.—Bishop Simpson.

Woman needs the ballot for self-re-spect and self protection, and to do her share for the education and moral safe-ty of the children she bears.—T. IT. Higginson.

My infiuence shall he given with the same fidelity to the cause of woman suffrage as it has been to tho cause of four and a half millions of black slaves. — Vice President Wilson.

Women have quite as much interest in good governmentas men. and I never heard or read of any satisfactory reason for excluding them from Ihe ballot box. —Qeo. Wm. Curtis.

America's salvation lies under Clod in America's women. It is preciselv he-cause 1 desire to conserve our glorious past that I plant myself on the platform nf Woman Suffrage.-6*. IT. Hoard man.
