ton, and threateuiifg him death if he
did uot leave the country. When

dozen men were engaged, and the
constable will return to make fur
ther arrest. The investigation prom
ises to develop a lot of rich gossip
in that precinct. A threatening let
ter has already been sent to Mrs.

handle the $264,000,000 in gold to
some advantage to the. country and
of equal benefit to themselves.
Accokding to the Omaha Bee
women should not vote because the
intelligent, refined and well-iuform-ed,
even if they were williyg to vote,
would only be an off-set to the ignor
ant, venal and debauched. What
sort of company has Mr. Roaewater
kept all of his life that he should
utter this infamous libel and false
hood? The Jiee's so-called argu
ments against equal suffrage will do
more for woman suffrage than a
thousaud advocates they so reveal
the entire absence of reason or logic
in the cause they espouse. Sutton
Begisler.

A dispatch from London gives
the Standard's points of objection
in its review of the revised testa

saying that whatever scholars may
think of tho labors of the revisers
the impression produced upon the
public mind is one of disappoint
ment and dissatisfaction.
TnE Democracy of the country

heretofore, does not abide iu any

members.
