FEilALE SUFFRAGE.
It is gratifying to see that thus
far the fanaticism of woman's rights
shriekers in the North has not snc
tceeded in capturing the ballot box in
bnt one or two States and Territo
ries. The experiment thus far made
has been rather disastrous. But there
has been a 6teady gain, it must be
admitted, with profound regret, and
the day may not be very distant
when in a majority of the Northern
'States women shall have the right to
vote inState and municipal elections.
The outlook just now is unfavora
j - ble for such a result, but there is no
-oubt steady progress in the wrong
v rdirection. In one House of the New
York Legislature a suffrage bill
passed, but was killed in the other
Houee. A proposition to allow wo-
-y - men to vote on the license question
tne Legislature of Massachusetts
"V was slaughtered by a great majority.
In Michigan a measure to allow wo
nen to vote in municipal elections
7 ' was defeated in one House by a vote
of 50 to 33. The Legislature of
Pennsylvania has had to meet a bill
J- , to change the Constitution so as to
allow women to vote in all elections.
The. Senate defeated it by a vote of
-ii- 28 to 16. But all this shows that the
minority is strong. A few years ago
nouch demonstration of strength on I
tneir part wouia nave been possible. I
We hope that every Southern!111 lDe united states f 711,000,000

fre at Jeask pffieientlyibVndant;
The Stab has used up much paper
and pencil and printer's ink in wri
ting up Wilmington as aYVinter Re
sort. It has. nfever written a lin6
that was not believed tor be true. It
has urged again and again the supe
riority of our city to all others either
north or south of uft for a residence
from October to May. Many North
ern people have tried our climate tor
a few days and they have been
delighted with it. This writer has
been living in Wilmington nearly
eleven years and he has seen but one
snow two inches deep. The other
efforts at snowing were too con
temptible a failure to deserve chroni
cling. It rarely snows here so as to
cover the ground ; probably not more
than once in five or six years.
What is needed? A Northern
man three or four years ago answered
this. He said, Ereot a hotel equal
in all respects to the largest and
finest in Jacksonville, Florida, and
1st it be known, and you will have i t
filled all winter." Your climate is
quite superior to that of Florida."
The Hygeia Hotel at Old Point,
where it is cold and raw, is filled to
repletion all winter. A hotel here
that could accommodate six hundred
guests, and was conducted on a plan
equal to the best, and that was prop
erly advertised hi Florida and iu New
England and the North generally
would be a grand success. What
Mr. Davis has donef or years at. Kitt -reil
in the woods can be repeated on
a far grander scale m Wilmington by
the river and so near the Atlantic
Ocean.
HOW IRELAND IS GOVERNED.
It has been quite common for pa
pers in this country that lean to
Toryism to deny that Ireland is ill
governed or in any way more op
pressed than the people of England,
Scotland and Wales. The Stab has
pointed to the records of history for
two centuries in refutation of such a
statement. But we will not go into
this. It is a fact that Ireland is
more heavily taxed than the other
countries of Great Britain. It is a
fact that Ireland pays more taxes
now with only some 4,500,000 inhab
itants than she - paid with nearly
double that population. The Lon
don Daily Neios says:
"While taxation has increased in Ireland
since 1881 from 12a 23 per capita to 1 lis
3d, the imperial taxation of Oreat Britain
has diminished by more than 33 per head. "
But this is not all. The News es
timates that Ireland has paid $500,-
000,000 into the British Treasury in
thirty-two years more than her fair
contribution. This is shamefully od-
r a.
pressive. It is open robbery. The
effect has been to increase the pov
erty of the masses. When there were
nearly 9,000,000 of people there were
but 70,334 healthy paupers. Now
with but 4,500j000 population there
are 200,237. In three years the pau
pers have more than doubled. There
are 309 in every 1,000 to be relieved,
while in England there are but 28 in
1,000.
And yet the Tories swear there is
no misrule; that all b fair and just;
and that Irish complaints are fac
tious and without proper foundation
in facts.

ded to deceive and subserve a selfish

rather flown hitherward than thither

"Silver coinage has been cola tinued at

"Instead of goldmimshing it has con

tinue to increase. Instead of being hostile
gold and silver have an affinity for each
other." '
Tree planting is not only profita
ble, but in many sections it: is abso
lutely essential to health, prosperity
and comfort. Nebraska is one of the
States that have been signally bene
fited by having an Arbor Day. It
is not well wooded and great treeless
prairies are all about. This has been
in part remedied. Fifteen years ago
12,000,000 shoots were planted. The
United States Forest Commission re
port that there are fine groves grow
ing 300 miles west of the Mississip
pi, and that 605,000,000 trees are
thriving where a few years ago none
could be seen save along the streams.
Here is a lesson for other States.
Let the farmers plant trees in all
barren spots on their worn-outlands.
Let fruit-bearing trees and trees val
uable for their wood be planted the
walnut, the peacan, the hickory nut.
Cover waste places with trees. Have
an Arbor Day. Train the children.

Louisville Courier-Journal, Den:.
Fortunately for the country the
Inter-State Commerce law gave to
the Commissioners power to suspend
the prohibition of a greater charge
for a short than for a long haul. Un
iortunately for the country, its busi
ness interests are so little represent
ed in Congress that the members of
that body seemed entirely ignorant
of the effect of such a prohibition.
Because the railroads have made
rates to meet water competition, and
because, going beyond this, they
have extended competition to terri
tory the water lines do not reach, we
have on this continent the most eco
nomical and the most serviceable sys
tem of transportation of any nation
in the world.
The failure to understand the value
of this competition led to the passage
of the Inter-State Commerce law.
Few Congressmen and few newspa
pers understood that the . railroad
pools did not destroy competition,
and that the low rates on wheat to
Liverpool, or on cotton to Manches
ter, were due to a higher law than
one under the control of American
railroads. They did not and do not J
yet understand that final competition
is not between one road and another,
or even between one place and an
other, but that it is between one pro
duct and another product, or be
tween American cotton and, Egypt
ian 'cotton, or between Australian
wool and the wool of California.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Within thirty days of the in
auguration of Mr. Lincoln Demo
cratic postmasters and every other
description of Federal officials were
aB scared as Republican officials are
now under Cleveland at the end of
two years and one month. They
were thrown out by the wholesale
and without a thought that there
was anything discreditable about it.
The Republicans have been led forth
to the sacrifice one or two at a time,
and many of them have been per
mitted to retain their offices until the
expiration of their terms. As com
pared with the exhibition of a gen
ration ago, the record made by the
new Administration will be favorably
regarded even by men who were not
at the outset actively in favor of the
reform which Mr. Cleveland has done
so much to make respectable.- Chi

"DON MIFF" IN ENGLAND.
The Pall Mall Budget, the weekly
edition of the Pall Mall Gazette, has
the following comments on -"Don
Miff," Mr. Virginias Dabney's pop
ular novel: -. - .
"This is a most delightful book. It
is full of mysterious surprises. Ev
ery reader will Jheartily endorse the
author's own opinion of it, humor
ously given in the introductory chap
ter: 'Now that my book is finished,
it strikes meas one of the oddest'
works I have ever read. You can
never tell what is coming next. Even
to me it was a series of surprises.
Read the first ten lines of any chap
ter. Now read the last ten. Heav
ens! how did he get there?' This
same introduction has nothing what
ever to do with the real story, but is
a vehicle for much dry - American
humor. For it is only America
that produces nowadays such a
charming combination of infectious
gaiety and touching episode, such
sudden transformation from humor
to pathos. Hardly a single chapter
can be read without a laugh, and yet
there are some Vhicb will bring an
inevitable lunap into the reader's
throat. The story) when it is reached,
is a tale of Virginia country life in
pre abolitionist days. And a very
delightful time every one, slaves in
cluded, seems to have of it. The
mysterious hero, Don Miff, whose
name itself is not one of the least of
the many mysteries that envelop him,
is a fascinating and rather impossi
ble compound of everything that
is heroic and musical. The oth
er characters are refreshingly
natural and human. It is impossible
to give an adequate outline of the
story, for it is a hopeless jumble of
flirtation and philosophy, childish
fun and startling mystery, American
wit and musieal rhapsody, and withal
a streak of sadness which1 reaches a
climax in the final pathetic scenes of
the war between North and South.
There are passages which in simple
pathos remind one vividly of i Bret
Harte, markedly, so. where blind Pon
