President Stephens is a handsome and accom plished Democrat with broad ideas and plenty of executive ability. The other officers are divided between the two par ties, and I do not know their politics. In the convention there is no suflrerestion above alluded to, deserves a place among 0f politics. Mb.

Many did not agree with Col. Taylor in his estimate of Mr. Pulitzer, but no one can deny his wontlerful success. Within half a dozen years he has brought the dead New York World to the first place in point of circulation of any paper in Amorica. Apropos of great editors, I believe that Col. Chas. 11.

But the crowning feature of the entire week was the final banquet or banquets, rather, for there were two one for the men and one for the women. The Asso ciation is a practical Woman's Rights body. There were fifteen female dele gates in the body who voted, made speeches, read papers, read poems, were candidates for office, and officers and who iu every way were fully equal to the pantaloon members of the body. One of them was elected an officer, and all of tnem were interested delegates. The poet of the Convention, Mr. Wm. E. Pajjor, of Colorado, advocated Woman Suffrage in his poem which was entitled "Open ne Uate; a Message from the Moun tains." In addition to the women who were delegates, there were fully seventy five of the wive3 and sisters of editors who participated in all the pleasures of the body. And so the Boston editors gave the banquet to the men, and the Boston Women's Press Club gave a ban quet to the ladies. A woman editor. MRS. Sallie Joy -White, nresidfid at the women's banquet and my wife (who is not a "women's right man") who was present says that she had as much hu mor and pleasantry and grace a3 a presiding officer at a banquet as any man. The women responded to and made speeches an'l sung songs, and had'a royal good time, after partaking of what is said to have been the most elegant banquet ever served at the irarker Mouse. Among those who ad dressed the convention during its sitting was mrs. julia ward uowe, editor of the Woman's Journal. She it about sixty years old and has a singularly in tellectual and attractive face. She spoke wen ana gracetuiiy as did all the women. I have always been a believer in the theory that every woman ought to be able to earn hei living, and that she ought to earn it. I balieve more firmly in it now than ever before. One of the speakers at the banquet for women said : "God bless the editors who no longer permit us to stand knock ing at the door of editorial sanctums with faint hearts and quivering lips; we are inside; working faithfully and we are here to say. If the maeazines and the newspapers are mighty engines of great power, as we believe them to be, women who work on or for them must see to it that no uncertain hand touches either lever or screw. Thank Heaven for the men who look beyond the limits of present policy and mere pecuniary gain. You have them in your enterpris ing Wt st and in your fertile South, and we have them here in Boston. Men who have never by word or deed doubted our success; men whose pleasure it has been to cheer and encourage us in our work; men who have boldly said that ideas are of divine origin, and "prejudice the child of ignorance men keen enough to take the bright thought of a quick ened brain without sex limitations, and men who are willing to pay for it in the same way." There is no work better suited to a well educated, sensible woman than newspaper work and they are everywhere doing excellent work on our leading newspapers and magazines. It is neat, and is an occupation in which they need come less in contact with the bust ling world than in any other occupation which requires brain work. No workers are so isolated as writers and workers on the great publications of the country. The future will see hun dreds of women in journalism to where there is now one. I have seen them here watched their work been charmed by their womanliness and while I am not in favor of giving the ballot to women, I am decidedly in fa vor of throwing open to them every ave- nue in wnicn nonesc ton win onng a sure compensation, so that never again vill women be forced to the degradation of marrying for a home or to keep from being an old maid. All honor, 1 say to the women journalists in America! They are going to put their impress of purity of thought and purity of expres sion and purity of life into the journals with which they are connected. TO STIR UP RAGE TROUBLE.

JUDGE SIIIPP'S SUCCESSOR. a candidate for Governor of Massa chusetts he needed a newspaper, and he bought tho controlling interest in tho Boston Globe, and made Col. Taylor, then a poor man, Managing Kditor. Col. Taylor showed wonderful sagacity and ability and the Globe largely helped to make Butler Gover nor. Matters ran on smoothly between Butler and Taylor until Mr. Cleve land was nominated for tho Presidency. Tho country is familiar with old Ben's troachery and tho subsequent ba-e fight ho and Dana made on Mr. Cleveland. As soou as Cleveland was nomi nated, old Ben called at the Globe office and told Col. Taylor to come out sections come together as brethren. They are a company of glorious good fellows. Most of us are earnest par tizans but we never allow anything of party here or of sectionalism. If a man raises such a question, it injures him. At the banquet, Col. Taylor said "we will now hear from a gentleman below Mason and Dixon's line." Immediately from every part of the great dining room there came voices "Ihereis no such line." "It is wiped out," and other similar remarks, and the convention heartily applauded when Col. Taylor said "of course there is no such line as Mason and Dixon's. I re ferred to it merely as a romance of our youth.

"One week," said the General, and with that he went out. He knew that Col. Taylor was a poor man and personally unable to buy and that was why he sought to bulldoze him. But Col.

The Honest Treasury Watch-Dos From Indiana Declared That Every Representative Who Had Spoken Repudiated the Bill so Ear as His District Was Concerned--Lehlback 7'roposes to Apply it to Every Dis- i trict, And if The Republicans Are Honest They Must Adopt It, But to Do so Would Kill the Measure For ! The Northern People Would Not j Stand it. By United Press. Washington, July 1. (House) The House immediately after the reading of the journal, resumed the debate on the Federal Election bill, the pending amendment being that offered by Mr. Lehlback, of New Jersey, providing that the chief supervisor of elections of each judicial district in the United States shall take such action as is required to secure such supervisor in every congres sional district as is provided by the laws of the United States. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, contended that there was no occasion for the en actment of the proposed law. Every member who had spoken had repudiated the bill as far as his own district was concerned. Mr. Stone, of Missouri, made a con stitutional argument against the bill. He asserted that its promoters were as guilty of high treason as those who, thirty years ago, took up arms against the government. Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, ex pressed regret that the amendment ema nated from the Republican side, becausa it did not tend to perfect the bill. Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, said that if the bill was so bad that gentle men were afraid to vote for its general application, why were they such cow ards as to throw uFon the people of a particular district the odium of the law. Congress should take the responsibility and not place it in the hands of fifty or a hundred men in any one district. The amendment was rejected, yeas 132, nays 138. Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, offered an amendment eliminating from the bill the provision for the United States boards of canvassers, and provid ing that from the returns of suvervisors the chief suvervisor shall tabulate and orword to the Speaker of the House, to be subm tted by him to the House, the results as they appear therefrom in each congressional district under his jurisdic tion in which this act has been in force. Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, fa vored the amendment as preserving a system which in substance had been al ways in force, and under which (with very few exceptions) had there been any complaint cf the action of the State authorities. Mr. Rowell, of Illinois, opposed the amendment and favored the bill. Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, said that the bill put it in the power of the U. S. courts to substantiate the control of the House of Representatives. Mr. McCommas, of Maryland, opposed the amendment and favored the bill as in the interest of free and fair elections. Mr. Mills, of Texas, pointed out the dangers which might arise from the ap plication of the law. Mr. Caruth, of New York, said that he had heard a good deal about a free ballot and a fair count. According to the Republican doctrine "a free ballot is one that elects our ticket and a fair count is one that counts us in." The purpose of this bill was to perpetuate the Republican party in power. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, in opposing the bill, criticised severely the power given to hundreds of court-house round ers to have the elections placed under Federal control so as to have themselves made supervisors. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, said the South counted the negro a voter when the census was taken, and Republicans pro posed now to do him justice and let him vote. Mr. Wilson, of West Yirginsa, said there never had bsen and there never could ba anv bill wnich would strike a more danererous blow at the very ele ments ment. The debate was further participated in by Messrs. Lodge, Buckalew and Tucker, and the House adjourned to meet at & p. m. Senate. Washington, D. 0., July 1. Mr. Dawes, from the conference committee on the legislative bill, reported that the committee had been unable to agree with the House conferees, the particular item of disagreement baing that of clerks for Senators and their compensa tion. He doubted if any agreement could be reached on anything but the House bill. After soma discussion a new confer ence was ordered. JUDGE AND SOLICITOR. Judge Whitaker's friends all over the State will rejoice in this endorsement which he has received from the Demo cracy of the district. He has served the party faithfully, and is an able, indus trious and accurate lawyer, and the peo ple felt that he deserved aL endorsement, and they have given it to him. The pa pers in the rirst District and in the West where he has held court speak in the highest terms of his bearing as a Judge and predict for him a brilliant ca reer on the bench. He has not yet pre sided in Wake and we hive not had an opportunity of seeinc him on the bench. It is a high com pliment that he has received, and is all the more to be appreciated when it is considered that he was opposed by one of the wisest and ablest and non- estest young lawyers in North Carolina, W. R Allen, Esq , of Wayne. Mr. Allen is young, and judicial honors surely await him in the future. His legal acumen and his studious habits, and his judicial mind, mark him as a man whom the people will call to inter pret and administer the laws before he has been twenty years at the bar. Ihe nomination of Mr Edward W. Pou, Jr., ot Johnston, as Solicitor, is a recognition of the ability and worth of one of the State s brightest young men. He was a student of the University, and was licensed to practice law in October, loao. He had been a hard student, and at once obtaiaed a large practice, and was last year Elector for the Fourth Congressional district and made a splen did campaign. His nomination means his election. lie is popular with the people and they will rally to his sup port and elect him by a handsome ma jority. Les3 than 27 years old, he has received an honor of which he may well be proud. To be chosen over Capt. Swift Galloway, who was universally regarded as the best Solicitor in Eastern North Carolina when he was in office, is the strongest evidence of the hold he has upon the people. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. A Woman Shoots her Slanderer Through the Heart: By United Press. Paducah, Ky. July 1. News has just come here of a tragedy in Marshall county Saturday night.
