Criticism of otlicinl acts is cue thing, und personal abuse of an t?' ollicial is <putc a different thing. Charges of dereliction against ellioiu's are right and proper when they are botioveu to be guilty, Cl but suggestions of fraud nud imposition I it St advance of any notion are scurce'y within J) the province of reputable newspapers.

Mr. Liiitor :?li must he gratifyiug to the taxpayers of our town to see the busiucss-like way in which the present Council have entered upou the discharge of their illicinl duties. Owing to the low state of die treasury many needed and contemplated improvements will, foniu informed, have to wait until the money is in hand to do the work. It is very evident they mean to discharge the duties imposed upon them withJUt fear or favor, and they will dmbllcss require every citizen to do the same. We will venture to make a suggestion, und hope it wiil be received iu the same kindly spirit that it is given. We refer to the manner in which the streets are worked. It is not ouly unaiyhtly and slovenly, but most uncJinfoitab'e to ride over a number of our streets since they have been recently worked. There is n? eff?>rt made to gather up the rank wtt Is that have been cut down, out tuny e,sti?t*wg in tuc street to decay ; either are tlie clods of clay aud the stones mouthed over, but allowed to lie iu heaps is throwu from the shovels of the laborers. In a number of instances the streets have been made more disagreeable than before they were worked. That the town has been improved in appearance Jsince the heavy growlli of weeds hat had sprung up after the rains have n-en cut down uuiic can deny. Now, gentlemen, remove the decaying vegetable matter and smooth out the rough places ; and we know no more economical a-ay of doing beautiful street work than by ising the road machine and rolier, bought >y the Council for that purpose, and which vas worked so satisfactorily a few years ago, ly our townsman, Janes Grant, and you vill have the "well done." of every good itizen.

One ef the great events ibat will make this year, 1898, memorable forever, might recently have been beheld In the Hall of Columbus, ef Chicago's Art Palace, where, side by eiJe, sat women delegates, representing a hundred societies from twenty different nation*, Spain ana ureece, toe< land and Austria, Fin'and anu Germany, sent their wives and daughlors to sit with their spiritual kinswomen of France, Eng land and America, in a World's Congress o: representative women. This Congress was divided into eigh departments, each with a Conference Hall These were, education, industry, literature art, philsntbrepy, charity, moral and socia reform, religion, civil law and government science and philosiphy. This congress gavi a program oi 76 meetings for tiio seven u?y ? sprtading a fenet bewildering in its ci tent and variety. _____ fvuen we read tfie papers and telllo speeches of soius of these represenUliv women, earnestly and eloquently plesdin for equality with men ; asking only for " fair field and 110 favor ;"{and then, when w find from other sources, that some of th young women who have been granted tlii "fair field" arc equaling and surpassin young men in science, as Miss Vury I Dennis, lecturer on botany, mineralogy an geology, at Chautauqua, and Miss Philipp Fawcett, who lately outranked all the youn men at Cambridge Uuiversity, and took tl highest educational honor ever won by woman, we arc constrained to admit tin woman's education has been kept too muc in the back-ground. 1 rejoice that tlrs relict of barbarism fast giving way and this enlightened age fast perceiving whnt a woman's life shou! be. Woman's cause is man's ; they rise ai It is expedient that ours, one of tl lvadiug nations of the earth in civilizatioi should grant to women their proper spliei ?a high, adorning, but useful educatioi that will fit them to become the hel] meet and true companion of man. Some philosopher has said Hint womci always on the extronic, are either better < worse than men. Woman is a human being, and as such In duties to other human beings. She mu show her respect to her country's laws, I understanding and improving them. Wli not take a higher view of politics nnd broader view of what a woman's life shoul be, and allow her to he conversant with tl political issues of the day ? She will tint see that the State docs its duty rather thn spend her strength taking up its under duties as matters of philanthropy. I vcril behove that the suffrage of our noble edi catcl women would be good for wonini good for the home, good for tho State nn good for the whole world, I was painfully impressed by the recct declaration of u minister nnd teacher, thi "some of our higher institutions of learnin were ill qualifying our young women ft the grave and responsible duties of life. Higher education should be practical, fit tin wouinn for the career for which she posess* aptitude. The Almighty makes no mistakes, nnd lie endows the particular woman with a aptitude for any art, science or nr?f??ain. she is as much entitled to it as the particuln man. Vet it will always romnin true thr rata as a class arc better fitted for breaii winning than woman. And till the end c the world the woman's real crown of glor and her highest distinction must be mother hood ; and for the simple reason that th world must always depend upon women fo its mothers. Wk? V? -- ? ? > u cue woman to become the intellectual a well as the social companion of man, then and only then, will the'r high purpose b accomplished. X. G. L. For the Timks.

Fowler on the Dispensary. ,n The following is u verbatim report of an interview held with ex-Representative 0. 11. in Fowler, upon the working of the Dispensary ic law us it now stands : |y Question?tVhnt do you think of the Divpensary bill ? Answer?Well, that is a great deal asked Q' in onerquestion. llui upon the whole 1 will id say that I am in favor of the bill?mainly, because 1 hope that in the end it will bring about a strictly prohibition law. Ques.?What do you think of the provisions, and the general bearing of the bill, as g it stands now '! ir Ans.?I prefer it to the old way of dealing ?i out whiskey; because the profits arising from the sales go to the Stale, (or onc-htlf of 8 it will,) and, therefore, help the tax payer? s to some extent. Of course, I mean they wi.l get put of their money back, aud I hope we j(. wi 1 have less drunkenness. But there arc many and serious objections n to the hi 1. 1 dislike to see any disfranchis), ing tendencies in the bill which the Legis'ature can and should remedy. la the first place, the incorporated cities aud towns have no just right to half the profit* It should go to the people, because >f the people worn for and make it, and the y people of the cities and towns are ou'y entitled to an equal chance in the race of life, and not to any special favors. e Again, every ollicer created under the Disr pensary act is nppoiutod (I boli???). should bo left to the people of the soveral SMfa J' 3 It can be used in the interest of those who , arc in office at the time of election. The e appointee is above the people and only responsible to the appointing power, and, to a great extent, the voice of the peop'e is silenced. The bill itself is proof that when the rights of the people are delegated to one. two g or a few peoplv at mo*t, their voice is not ? I heeded, strictly. Had the voice of the peopic, us expressed by their ballots at the last , election, been lice-led, wc won! 1 have ha-l ? ; prohibition instead of ilu dispensary law. 80, I think the L-gislature "went back on j the peop'e" when it refused to give them prohibition. It was the white people who t asked for prohibition ; but inste-d there- f s they gave them a scoiye n, in the way of the Dispensary act. (dues.?Do you think it is open, to or aft fords a chatice for fmud Ans.?Wei', of course, 1 -iont think it will I he hind'el dish mostly at all; but you knnv the people would not be as safe if the trea<ur: or had the power to appoint tlie an iilor over the people as they are when the auditor is put in or disp need by the people?one checks iiie other; and 1 am in (av?r of letI ling the people elect every ollie r in the i government, from the road overse -r to the ['resident ol'the United States. That is ono > of the brighest planks in the plat form of the ! Reformers. tpies.?Do y-111 think Ilia' if the officers under tlie Dispensary law were elocte I that . 1... . - - tiiv cuiurt'd voters would cnitrol? r Ans. N\>.

If i they coiiM elect their D'upensiry officers they eoul.I eltct their own i.cg'.sl tare. l?tit tln-y cannot, mil don't interfere with the elections. The white primary settles tint. Uriclly, the injustice of the step tint ten Is to take from the people the only means of government control, either State or National, the ballot, is plain to be seen, will mortify the priilc of a I those who believe in etpi ?l rights. Tliey cannot wil ingly support sueli a government or defend its (lag. Therefore, the people slioukl be consulted ant decile by their ballots who should fill the ollicos of our country. I think the founders of our government intended that the .States should have the right to manage their own affairs, to a grout extent, ?nd I contend that the constitution of the tinted States should ho so amended that no State Can t ike the ballot from any of liei citizens, unless it he lor crime. ,1.
