Indianapolis. Sept. 7. J. H. Eikles,
controller of the currency, was one of
the arrivals this evening.
"What Is the situation in Illinois?"
was asked the controller.
"I believe," wim the earnest reply,
"that McKinloy's majority will be over
ttxi.ihni. sly own country. La Sulle, Is
a fair sample of the condition of
things. It is the largest county out
side of Cm.k, and gives the largest
loni'M-rntie majority usually. Of the
voters who cast their ballots for Cleve
land In !St2. at least i.'iil) will not vote
for Hryan. On the other hand, there
nre not Koptihlicuns who will vote
for hlni. There Is no silver organiza
tion there, and that is true of the
counties generally In the state. There
is no bolt among the Republican far
mers of the northern purt of Illinois.
The opposition to Hryan among lVmo
cruts Is not contined to the Oermuns
alone, hut the old-line Irish Democrats
as well refuse to suport him." .

THE INDIVIDl'ALITT OF WOSIEN
Elizabeth Hurrill Curtis.
In dealing with the so-called "woman
quetlon," one of the most usual errors
w hich Is encountered on both sides Is
the persistent habit of regarding won -
en, not as individuals, but as a class
apart, who may be depended upon to
think and act alike on all questions. "
The very phrasee "woman question."
"women's sphere." show how cunningly
this fallacy creeps Into all discussions,
One never hears of a man's question.
It Is simply taken for granted that a
man does what he chooses in the world
conditions simply by natural, not arti
ficial limitations. Were women treated
as Individuals and not en masse, their
I m mi t mn would lie the same. And what
Is of the greatest Importance, the nat-
ural differences of sex would show
themselves, as they have never yet had
a chance of doing. No onewlll serious
ly attempt to deny that the maternal
function constitutes a vast difference
between men and women, but exactly
n what this difference consists and how
far It goes has never yet been ascer
tained, because the path of women has
been, for the most part, marked out for
them and they have had no choice but
to walk therein, or forfeit many things
which women, and men also, hold dear.
Whenever a woman, driven by pres
sure of her genius, has released herself
from the trammels which surround her
and insisted upon living her own life,
it is usually asserted either that she is
a cold-blooded creature without natural I
affections, or that no woman can really
excel in what are known as masculine
pursuits, because her craving to be
loved is sure to dominate her.
Sonya Kovalevsky, the gifted and
Hery Russian mathematician, is often
held up ns an example of the latter,
and true it is that her head and heart
strove together in often passionate
strife. Hut this was not because she
wtu a woman.
Kents and Chopin undoubtedly died
earlier becnuse of their love affairs,
at least, tholr deaths, it is often said,
were hastened thereby, and no woman
could do more than die for love, yet It
Is not asserted that men should not be j
geniuses because they are prone to fall
in love.
It is n t w ithin the province of this
article to deal with the undoubted nat
ural limitations of the women who
choore marriage and motherhood; it is i
