A Ekcert Helena despatch says that the fugitive Nez forces Are still with sitting Bull and that sixty additional lodges of Sioux have lately joined his Camp which is located near fort Walsh. No instructions have yet been received to intern the Refu gees further from the Boundary and there appears to be no ground for the statements that have appeared of sitting Bull intending to re Cross the Frontier. The Story of a White Man being held As a prisoner by the Sioux is now demonstrated to have been Alto Gether without foundation. Demand unlimited woman suffrage they ask what is unknown in any country and what it is futile for them to claim. That More serious attention has not been Given to the subject is probably due to the horror entertained of Strong minded women in general and a wholesome dread of what might be the consequence of extending greater opportunities to the sisterhood headed by such leaders As Victoria c. Woodhull and or. Mary Walker. The extreme demands of such advocates make Public men hesitate to initiate legislation which might however remotely have the effect of augmenting a class alike dreaded by the one sex and repudiated by the other.

The subject of woman suffrage is not by any Means a new topic of discussion in fact it has been constantly agitated in the United states for Many years past besides having been occasionally brought under the notice of the Public in England. Like Many another abstract proposition the claim of women actively participate in politics is difficult to combat when they base it simply upon the ground of Justice and equal intelligence. But the world is not and cannot be governed upon principles of an abstract nature Only there is such a Quality As expediency that it is almost equally import ant to take into consideration in matters of legislation. After a Long interval of silence the women suffragists have again gone upon the War path and the wires recently in formed us How they had overrun the capital at Washington and endeavoured to storm the Senate. Under the leadership of a mrs. Spencer the weird Sisters essayed to trample Down the rules of order and their Point by an assault of words. According to a Washington Leporter or. Mary Walker in All her bifurcated and agents of the chem Loon and various fantastic isms in 11 underclothes gathered to the attack. Prominently they put Forth As their motto the adage no taxation without represent and in close Phalanx they bore Down upon the opposing Powers. They assumed that the Senate would not hold a session and so they proposed to occupy the chamber in Force. There is a Rule of the Senate which prohibits the use of the chamber for any other than legislative proceedings but the ladies expected to be Able to invade the sacred precincts and defy this Rule. Quite contrary to their expectations a quorum of the Senate was on hand and their plans were accordingly Defeated. They then at tempted under a Resolution introduced by senator sargen., to obtain a hearing before the Senate which would have been an unprecedented privilege in this scheme they failed also. They held a meeting in the reception room however and then crowded the galleries a waggish but polite door keeper by the or. Mary Walker in All her bifurcated glory we per into the gentlemen s gallery. It appears that on the previous evening a com. Mittie of women had called upon the presi Dent and passed a very agreeable couple of hours with him and mis. Hayes the presi Dent promising to sign any Bill that Congress might pass conferring additional political privileges on women. It is necessary to state that the primary and immediate Pur pose the ladies had in View was to have a Resolution passed by Congress defining the word citizen As used in the Constitution in a manner that would Widen its present application to simply the male portion of Tho Community. The subsequent formal presentation of Tho claims of the pre Sumer Fly fair agitators to the committee of privileges and elections was far More dignified and creditable to their Good sense than the clamorous and disorderly Endeavor to insist on ventilating their alleged grievances at Tho bar of the Senate Rind they appear to have been received with reciprocal Courtesy. Holding fast to the unpractical postulate that Tho suffrage is a natural not an artificial right they demanded of con Gress submission to the states of a sixteenth amendment to the Constitution pro Viding that sex shall not be a disability to the exercise of the elective franchise. Without entering deeply into the pros and cons of the question it is sufficient to Here that Public opinion in the United states is in other countries at the present time _ in the face of the recent Extension of communism and other socialist doctrines is manifestly rather in favor of restricting than extending the privileges of the suf in Many countries women have been admitted to a limited suffrage based on a property qualification and there really seems no reason Why. In municipal matters a fee sole assessed for property in her own right should not be permitted to cast her vote for Thos who Levy Taxo-3 upon it.
