THE CAH HOT VOTE Tim sirnKMR coint dkcidus AGAINST HELL M. GOIUAIL twftTraae a Civil Riant To tie Ki. "i erird Oat By Tbwae To Whan Una Dtfn Granted i Other Tie Supreme Court today affirmed the case of Heien it. Gougar agai as the elee ton fiicera of her precinct In Lafayette, in which she claimed the right to vote at gunral election, and brought ut ajrainst the' election officers to compel tiem to receive and count her ballot, la pronouncing the opinion 'of the court. Juire Hackney says tnat the question presented Ira the case is whether women have, under existing laws la the State of Indiana, the privilege of suffrage, and whether qualification upon the 1 r.ght to vote for public officers.

He then proceeds to ihw that unJer our consti tutian women 'can not rote, and that this provision of tha constitution la not In conflict with the. constitution of the United. States. Mrs. Cougar claimed that the provision of our State constitution that "every mal citizen, of the age of twenty one years and upward" shall be entitled to vote docs not operate 'to disqualify wom en from exercising that privilege.

But the court holds that participation In the suffrage Is nrt a' right, but is granted' by the Btate on a consideration of what Is most fur the Interest of the State 'The Object Sanra e. In answer to the contention' that women are unrepresented fry the Ballot, the cotrrt holds that suffrage does not exist for the benetit of the Individual, but for the benefit of the State itself: that the choice of public officers and the of public questions is a. matter of public and general concern, and to be settled' with reference to the public Interests, and not' with reference to private and Individual interests. That the right.of suffrage is, therefore, a. natural right, to be exercised subject only to restriction, but Is a civil right, to be exercised only by those to whom It has been expreasly granted by positive law.

Te opinion says that the purpose or constitution was to eKtabliah a representative form of government. in 'which a part of the people should govern as repreienting all, and thati the part tto chosen was Ihn mahj of age of one years and That the government so established la the agent or trustee of the State, the people, and laa derived lis authority through the cor sti tut: ton. And. in tils connection, the court fays: "That the exercise of such authority may be Intrusted J.9 enlarged tlassei with fewer restrictions, there Is anl can be no doubt, but to do so is with those who gave the authority, the people, nd it Is no more within the )w'r of" the Judicial or The legislative brunch of the government to modify the will of the people as expressed In the constitution than It is for the agent In any cane to stand above the principal in authority. guoh privilege as that of was not given to women, and If it only exists by grant, as we have Diown, lt be' admitted that those to whom it was given may exercise it as the Hearts for the State, the whole people, Including males and females, not possessing It." Constitution's latent.

The Court adds that, to Rive full effect to Mrs. Gougar's contention. that the constitution merely intended to regulate what classes of males should be allowed to vote, would require the Court to hold that there Is an entire' absence of restriction upon the privilege as to females, and they could all vote, without refer ence to age, residence or naturalization. Mrs. Cougar Insisted that even though the Ptata constitution does, deny, women tbe rib'bt to vote, that it was controlled by the fourteenth amendment to the Federal constitution, which declarer all person born or naturalized In any of Ilia several States to be citizens, and for biJs any State to make or enforce any Jaws which bhall abridge the privileges or' ltfimunitles of citizens, nor deprive uny perso of life, liberty or property without due process of Law, or deny BUch I iii.tt vim i utn roiecnon mi tne law.

And aluo with the fifteenth amendment whioa prONid that the right of citizens of the L'nlte i SjateJ to te shall not be oenied or by any State on ac of color or previous condition of servitude But the court held that tho" provisions do not apply to a denial the rwht of suffrage en account oi sex. The court concludes: "We are not prepared to say, tm.ier the existing condl von, conai it ring the marked Intellectual Ivancemen: of women 3 nee the adoption of the present constitution, that the e'e tive frau iaue should not be given th 1 "There are many questions to be settled bv tbe tilot which would enlarge re of freedom; would aJvance the irvrals and 1 the burdens of humanity; would ri em omes from the wreck of Intemperance, and would iy ihp tnilfiee ot partisan bias end corrupt 00 But to what extent the bAllot in ir nan is 01 women would Mxl to tn errape or to destroy Lher prejnt great In in the aflnirs of both man, tlie bom and the State, cm net be known In a jvo.nce of the exporiintnu" Railroad Company Liable.

The unemployel yesterday afternoon appointed a committee of seven men to wait on the county and make a final appeal for tbem either to make contractor Purly a 'large force of men on the court house grounds or throw up his contract. The members of the board were cons'dering a proposl tion to lease a' strip of ground ne4r the work house when the petitioners entered. First camel the committee and close behind followed several hundred men. ji .1 The spokesman of the committee stated the case fly to Mr. McGregor and was told that.

as long as Purdy lived up to tha terms of his contract the commissioners ceuld pot interfere, but If the committe would brinjf evidence proving that the contractor was not complying with the terms of the agreement the board would act. The chairman turned to go. Another member of the committee discoursed on the rights of a free American citizen and the rights of the tax payers, and said that the men would not stand by and see the work handled as It had been. Then a colored man said that unless he got work he would be forced to steal. "1 believe." he said, "that every honest man should steal when he can not get work.

If I have to era to iajl. I am imlnn 11 ke a man. and before I cr I want tm see Iurdy tied up." lie seemed to voice tne sentiments of a small nortlon of the crowd, for his words were taken un and expressions "Tie him up" and "Get a rope were heard. But thi was not the prevail ng sentlment.tand when the yelling ceased rhe colored man said: "Do I get work? Xo? Then I wdl steal." Comra ssioner McGregor advised the men to act with JudemenL Von enmo over here and demand that we take thi contract away from The commit eioners nave met every demand that you have made so far. Now.

We will look into the rharimi againsti the cortractor and let ypu know wnai win oe aone. 1 tmnic myself, that four or five times as many men could be worked in the yard, and as an Individual will do what I caq for you: but don't go running around here talking wut oiuis une up, or you w.u get the worst of it." Contractor Purdy this morning promised, to put on luo teams to morrow and half as many shovelers.

If he can wo this force satisfactorily hs will Increase It. The committee, which ealio day afternoon was notified. r.t Vw. said that if Purdy would do as he agreed the men would be. willing to go to work again.

1 There is a good deal of doubt as to thei ability of contractor Purdy to complete his work within the specified time. It must Te done by March 13 and the men say that it will take 2W teams land xuv shovelers working ten to remove au the earth ncr. un i ic tune. 1 IN A "GOSPEL CHARIOT." Henry C.

Trustee Rabb wa asked, this afternoon, for a ik explanation of the manner tn which the affairs' of the Mechanics' "Mutual Savings and Loan Association were conducted and the causes that led up to the appointment of a receiver. "I have no desire to keep anything secret concerning the business' of the con cern." said Mr. Itabb. VTbe books are open, and I ready' to furnish any. Information that Is wanted.

The asso ciation was made up of three series. The Mechanics' Mutual Savings and Loan As sociation was organized in 1S94. Mr. Y. H.

Dye was secretary of this. Then, in the fall of the same year the Mechanics Mutual Savings and Loan Association No. I was formed, and of this Mr. Dye was also secretary. This.

association took in. the Cottage, the Haughvllle and the Indiana Central. Mr. Dye. at one time, I think, was' attorney for the Cottage, but had nothing to with It when the consolidation took place.

The No. 1 accepted the assets of the other associations and assumed their Indebtedness. I think the appraisements show that the assets were more than the liabilities. Mechanics Mutual Savings and Loan Association No. 2 was organized after the other two had been running some time, and Jlr.

Dye was secretary of that." 'Did Mr. Dye draw a salary from each association?" 'Yes. From two of them he drew $100 a month each and from No. 2 he drew $0 a month mating his salary as secretary J2i0 a "Mechanics Mutual Savings and Loan Association No, 2 accepted the Metropolitan Building and Loan 'Association, and the Dnnla Bulding and Loan Association. The Danla took.

In the New England also. While these three associations were running. No. used money amounting to about J16.000 belonging to the other two and this amount it still owes, butlt has assigned a lot of collateral In the shape of notes and mort gages. The appraised alue of the first association is about 132.000." What was the immediate cause of tbe failure "The stockholders began to withdraw Nos.

1 and a.Td, of course, this affected the original association. I think Jtha report of the commission appointed by the Governor had samrthing to do with beginning of the withdrawals, for the report showed that the expenses were about' $13,000. while the earnings were about "Do you know of investigation of; the books being made and the report of. a discrepancy being found?" "No, I do rot There was an Investiga tion, and tbe committee reported In favor of cutting the salary ox Mr. Dye as sec retary.

It wa found also that he had drawn money from the solicitor's fund, and the committee thought that as he was a paid he waa not entitled if. He, had also drawn some pay as an attorney. It also found that Mr. Dye had stock amounting to $547. on which he had a loan fund 'credit' of $639.

There was a cash ticket against hlma of about $100. but this Is a disputed account," "How do you explain the dividend that was passed in 1S95?" i i rnatwas a. paper dividend. It was in duly, that it was declared in No. 1.

Under tbe constitution and by laws of the association, the first month's dues on stock went into tha aolici tors' fund: 10 cents a share was deducted for an ex pense fund, and the rest of the monev paid In on dues went Into the loan fund.q At tne time this rtivldend was made, all of the solicitors' fund, all of the expense tund had exhausted, and a large portion of the loan fund' p.ad been used to Tay expenses. So the dividend was worthless, and will, under the ruling of the court, be stricken off the books The stock holders will gef nothing from that dividend. I am In hopes, however, that the association will pay out welL" Statements of Others. William IL Dye was asked If there had been an Investigation of his books as secretary, and if a discrepancy of ac counts had been found. He, replied Uiat nothing of the kind had occurred; that the association was on a solid basis when be retired es secretary.

William Gars tang, superintendent of motive power of the Big Four road, was a director "and an officer of the. association, and after Dye retired, William G. Taylor, chief clerk to Mr. GarU.ng,. w9 appointed secretary.

The sJiclting agents of. the company used these two names with the employes and they purchased stock freely. Mr. Garstang said to day that his duties with" tlie railroad company kept him. so bus? that he was not able to give tbe association, aa much attention aa be would liko to haye do no, and when the crash came both ha and Taylor were surprised.

He says that he has never drawn a oent of pay as an officer or director, and all the money he put in is there yet. tie reels that the Institution will pay out dollar for dollar and that no one will loee. Of this, however, he does not feel assured. He resrerted that his name had been used in connection with the soliciting of stock. but he thought the concern was sol vent fact.

Invested his own money in it it 1 stated at the office of the superin tendent of the Pennsylvania here that tbe young man who aete'l as agent Tor tne soo.at:on had ret from the employ ef the railroad before he became an agem for the other concern, that he was In no wav connected w.th the railroad, and. so far as can be learned, did not so reprtnent taat a was. 1 Railroad Men Warned. It Is claimed also that this young man as soon as he discovered that the instl tuton was not a success, notified the rail road employes to draw out. and those Who followed hs advice got thlr money.

ATTACK THE CIVIL SERVICE GROSVEROR AXD OT11EB1 WHO ark oprosxeo TO THE3 LAW. The Spirited Discussion la the Itonse The Senate Proeeedlngs American and German Rall 1 roads Washing ton tsi, Washington, D. February 2 There was a lively discussion of the civil service law In the House yesterday afternoon. It was started by Mr. Bailey, of Texas, who tendered to the Republicans his sympathy, for the troubles of patronage which would beset them March 4, On that day.

he said, there would be 350. 000 office seekers and 60,000 offices. "Four years ago," he said, "you" laughed at our embarrassment; now we laugb at yours. You have no more chance of es plng the wrath of the office seekers at the next congressional elections than wtf had of escaping the disapproval of the people for the, maladministration of tbe administration about to retire from power. Mr.

Fllnn of Oklahoma. aroused many of the Republicans to ap service law and fill every office witn a Republican in twenty four hours. Mr. Grosvenor (RP of Onlo rldl" culed the civil service system, and predicted, amid UDroarlous applause from the Republicans, that the tide was rising which would sweep the law out of existence and give the young men of this country a chance, Mr. Bailey again Secured the floor, and, after remarking upon the "peculiar relations" existing between the gentleman from Ohio (Grosvenor) and the Incoming President, asked sententiously If the Democrats were warranted in assuming that his utterances were to be' accepted as a notice that the civil service law is to Toe repealed? "What do you thlnl of the law?" put In Mr.

Steele (Rep.) of Indiana. "I think it is a humbug" replied Mr. Baileyt, a response that won a round of applause from both sides of the House. Mr. Grosvenor replied to Mr.

Bailey's intimation with a frankness that again set the Republicans wild; "If the gentleman from Texas had been here in the Fiftieth Congress," said he, "he would know that the first bitter contention I ever had on this floor with William MeKlnley was on this subject of civil service reform, he taking one side of the question and I the other. When it was over, did not think he had lost any confidence in my partisanship, and I had lost none In his statesmanship and ultimate good sense." "Ultimate good," shouted Mr. as the House applauded. Mr. Grosvenor proceeded to characterize the civil service law as "a conspiracy" which had proved "the greatest power of the (spoilsman." He termed "a law to pension Incompetents," and said the people had at last discovered that It was a humbug.

He told, of an instance where a Democratic official with seventy nine civil service employee under him had boasted that he had been able to get Into office seventy Democrats. He declared that "Pendleton and the Democrats" had Introduced this "patent Into our Government. Jn conclusion, he denied that he pretehded to represent the views of the President elect. He said he merged his Individuality into no adminis tration. He had a constituency to represent, and when be spoke he.

did so for h's constituency, his conscience and his God. "If I had the power." said he, "I would not ask the sun to move backward, as' Joshua did, but to go forward. I would issue an order to permit the lighting of the wrongs done In the past." (Deafening applause on both sides of the House.) Then Mr. Broslus, as chairman of the civil service committee, had a final word. He declared that Mr.

Gros venor's remarks "fleshed the sword ln the heart of the President elect," and read from Mr. McKInley's letter of acceptance his statement that in the matter of civil service1 reform he "would no backward step." "Is that treason?" cried Mr. Broslus, glowering down on Mr. Grosvenor. "If It is, charge It home to the greatest citizen of this republic." THE SEVATE PROCEEDINGS.
