WOMAKS SUFFEIIAGE COLtiM. 'I'lio Defeat in Oregon. In the recent election in Oregon the Woman Suffrage Amend men. to the constitution was defeated. This is no aupriee to the .National American Woman Suffrage As sociation ; it has been anticipated over since the bill eubmitting the amendment to tha voters passed the legislature , It proves that the theory 1'or which the National As- eooiation so strongly con tend it ifl correct , that to win a Suffrage Amendment , a state must first be througly organized for Woman Suffrage ; ami it is a mistake to bring an amendment before llio voters tjjiUl tlio preliminary work of "organisation has been done. In Oregon , while there wan , and IB now , strong sentiment in favor of the movement , it was not clirjst- alized into the working force ; there was but the semblance of the ejnto organization , and there Wore "fees tliaii a dctfen local Clubs : a band of women who prooipiato a Suffrage campaign under Buoh conditions mtist except defeat. No political party ever won in fiuch a manner , and Suffragists can not hope to be any more suooEBiul. Before an amendment is brought before a legislature , the Sufrrgists &hould be organized in every county , townthip , and voting precinct ; the county association should bo a vital part of the state association , and should be closely iu touch with the local clubs , Then with wise officers to direct the campaign , the question could come before the voters on its merits ; it could bo candidly considered by every voter , and not rushed to ignominious defeat by the venal element in the cities , When the Suffragists in every state shall learn the value of organ * itatioii as political parties have learned it ; when they shall be patient enough to do the prelimin ary work before pushing the ques tion before the voters ; when they ehall adopt practical methods in tbo conduct of their campaigns , tbon Woman Suffcrago defeats will not bo so common. LAURA A. GKKOQ. ( Jovornor of Idaho on Woman Suffrage. The Hon. Frank Steuneborg. governor of Idaho , contributes ao article on equal sufrago to Harper's Bazzar in which bo says : 'Our erpariouoo ban been an entire - tire absence of those unseemly Bcenes and incidents which it bad been feared might attend the presence of women at the voting places , The women not only go tc the polls to deposit their ballots , "but they are to electioneer , just ae are the men ; they work in behalf of candidates they consider best Gttod for the public service , run carriages to bring in tbo voters , men and women , exactly like oitiznns older in eufrage rights. All , this , however - over , is earned on in a most orderly and proper manner , and excites no more comment in the case of the women than it does in that of the men. men.The The Bugestion may be made that Una activity of women in public affairs has operated to draw them away from their homes and Irom the ueuol domestic avocations , that a suggestion that our experience amply disproves , In Idaho women are today the same loving wives , kind mothers , and capable home managers that they have always booh , Nor has there been the least belitling of the sex in the eyes of the men , nor any falling off in that tenderness and respect which men universally accord to women. There is not the slightest interrup tion of family ties. Husband and wife may vote the same way , or the husband may vote one way and the wife another. Whether ] they vote together or oppositely excites no interest and no animosity , although naturally families have the Bamo party affiliations. As the Byatom has not operated to take women from their homes , so , too , it has not tended to make them in any way masculine , Concerning the extent to which tbo woman in Idaho exercise the ' rights given them by the law , it has \ \ boon found to be very general. In 1898 fully forty per cent of the votes were cast by women. There is every reason to bolavo that this percentage will increase , until , in my judgement , the percentage ot women voting will bo as large as that of men , In a general sense there can be no doubt that the participation of of- women in our public affairs has bad a moat elevating influence' All parties Bee the necessity of nominating the best individuals of their parties. The natural aim of women is toward the befit good of the community , and to secure the bightest social conditionB. Instead of seeking extremes of reform , as had been predicted , they are in terested in stable and oouserativo administration , for the benefit of the homes and the children , and they avoid radical , and oxcoe- sivo reform , Iu shoit the objcc- lions which , in theory , have beet , urged against woman's participation in public afnira have been over- conio by the actual ampliation of the system in Idaho , and with thin has come to us that elevating and ennobling inllucnco which woman always exerts upon the uliairn in which she hau a part. is hard enoiifjh ns It is. It is to her that \vc owe our world , and everything : should bo made as easy ns possible for her nt tae tjine of childbirth. This just what will do.

Lewis nnd Murray are neglecting no opportun ities to make the cession ono of the most Interesting nnd profitable in the history ot the school. The Institute will begin July 10 and remain in session two weeks. The nrobabilltles'are that nearly all of the 250 teachers of the county will attend. Direotars nnd patrons are awakening to the importance of the work done at tbo institute and insisting upon the teachers attending. The annual reports of directors now being tiled in the superintendent's ofllce show that financial condition ot the flchools of the county has improved vastly within the paat year and as a natural consequence the school term lengthened for the coming year , This gratifying condition is largely due to the pronlpt payment of taxes coupled with the usual economical management by school boards. Ttic convention of school board's and patrons which Trill be held In the M. E. church , Broken Bow , on Saturday , July 2lat promiscB to bo a moat Interesting nnd proti'.ablo mooting. School olllcera nnd patrons from all parts ot the county report that they aio planning to attend. Every district in the county should be represented. A cordial Invitation Is extended to everybody to visit the Institute when ever and as often us possible. This In vitation is not gfven as a more matter of form but rather with the hope that it will bo accepted. Wo are nil vitally in terested in the highest success of the schools of the county and should work together with this end In view. Lot us encourage and assist both teacher and pupil by manifesting an interest In everything pertaining to Improved methods of instruction and manage trcnt. The examinations this year will beheld hold on Friday and Saturday proceeding the opening ot the institute. It ia be lieved that by this arrangement teachers will derive more real help from tbo In stitute than heretofore. Their minds will bo thus relieved from all the worry that naturally attends preparation foi examination. Those who Imvo been en gaged in school work during the past year will bo required to take examination only In those branches In which their standing is below SO per cent.

The host authorities say there are 100,000 acres of undeveloped peat hog In Ontario , principally In the counties of Perth , Welland and Essex. The largest area lies In the county of Perth , eight miles north of the city of Strat ford , on the Grand Trunk railway. Here is a swamp of 40,000 acres , with a depth of peat hog that varies from a foot to twenty feet. The process of manufacture is as follows : The peat Is cut and air dlred , after which it is pulverized by being passed through a picker , and automatically deposited in a hopper , which feeds a steel tube about two Inches In diameter and fif teen Inches long. The pulverized peat Is forced through this tube by pres sure and formed into cylindrical blocks three inches in length and almost equal in density to anthraclto coal. The fuel Is non-friable and weather proof by reason of its solidity and the extreme glaze imparteed to it by frlc- tloual contact with forming dies. The Inherent moisture of the peat.is re duced to 12 per cent of the mass. In weight it compares with coal as fol lows : Eighty-three pounds per cubic foot of peat equal seventy-three pounds of bituminous or ninety-three pounds of anthracite coal. It { a claimed for peat that it Is superior to coal in its absolute freedom from sulphur and the nhscnce of smoke , soot , dust and clink ers during consumptive * . In a great measure this solves the problem of furnishing a cheap , clean , uniform and reliable fuel for all domestic purposes , us It Is equally serviceable for grates , Etoves , cooking ranges and furnaces , giving a long , bright name and in tense heat almost from the moment of Ignition. It has been tested In loco motives with excellent results , showIng - Ing that the thermal value of 100 pounds of peat Is equal to 95.15 pounds of coal. It was also tried at the pow- er-houpo of the Metropolitan street railway , Toronto , nnd gave great sat isfaction. The heat produced was much greater than that of coal , but It was 8 per cent deficient in lasting power. It requires but little draft and burns best in shallow firebox. The ma chinery used in manufacturing peat fuel is not expensive and requires hut little attention when In operation. Buffalo Express. Eomothlne Practical.
