Candies.
Usually about the holidays

eating too much candy, because of the
. . 1 1 . .
"noma coloring, out the simpJe state,
ment that a piece of red coloring matter
. I f 1 .
me size 01 a gum drop will color five
thousand pounds of candy is sufficient to
show the fallacy of such ideas. People
may easily make themselves sick by eat
ing either too much candy or too much
pure sugar, but this "poison" is so '"slow"
as to take longer than a life time for its
action. Carmine and cochineal are used
for red, saffron for yellow, burnt suar
for dark brown, and this with carmine for
orange color. These are all the colors iu
general use, except for decorating, where
in the ordinary water-color paints are
used, but in such infinitesimal quantity
as to produce no bad effect, the proportion
being, we believe, less than one millionth.
A civil war of more than ordinary ex
tent has been for several weeks raginin
Mexico, the insurrection fomented by
Pkofiuio Diaz having assumed the di.
mensions of a formidable rebellion. The
leaders of the troops of Juarez are pres
sing Diaz sharply. Defeated in the field
near Oaxaca he retreated iuto the latter
city, where he was, at latest advice-?, be
sieged by the Federal Generals Alaiora,
Uacha and Figuerra. The army sent
by Diaz into Qucrrero has also suffered a
repulse at the hands of the government
troops. J uarez is now concentrating hi
strength against the chief of the threaten
ing uprising against his authority. This
is ccrtaiuly a wise policy for hitu to pur
sue, for with the downfall of Diaz the
preseut revolutiou must come to au enj
and, from the tenor of our latest Mexi'.
can news, it is safe to infer that Diaz
will find the grave of his ambition to ruk
Mexico, if not his own sepulchere at
Oaxaca. '
A judicial opinion in relation to wo
man suffrage was delivered in Philadel
phia last Saturday. At the October elec
tion Miss Carrie IJurnham offered to vote
in the Fourteenth ward, but her ballot
was refused by the election oSceis She
thereupon brought suit to determine
whether or not she had a Jegnl right to
vote, claiming this right under the Con
stitutions of Pennsylvania and the United
States. The case was argued before Jud-re
Sharswood. who held the V.ai lr;',.J
f. I - 1 ... .... X I 1
' branch of the Supreme Court. His de
cision was adverse to 3iiss Buruhatn's
claim. The Judge says that he c;in fin!
nowhere in the Constitution a declaration
that women may vote, but he does find
various parts and clauses which define
the duties and privileges of freemeu in
such language as can only be applied t
men. The uniform co!ismi..t.:m nf tYin
Constitution and laws, since the earliest
times, has been in accordance with the
doctrine that none but males have a right
to vote. The question has been conclusi
vely settled by the usage of the last two
hundred years. This decision apparent
ly settles the matter in Pennsylvania for
the present. Judge Sharswood is a well
kuown conservative, but his view3 are
doubtless shared by ucarly all our judicial
authorities. To obtain the suffrage the
women must now work for expressly af
firmative legislation.
A careful estimate of the proballe
electoral vote for President uext year
shows a very decided Republican pre
dominance. It is based upon the allot
ment of votes to the different States by
the new apportionment bill. The State's
which have voted steadily in fivor of the
Republicans since lSGi will cast 173
electoral votes ; and those which have
been constantly Democratic will be en
titled to 6'J electoral votes. There are
thirteen States which have been carried
by each party in turn, aud which will
really be contested next year. Of thesa
the Republicans carried four last fall, cast
ing 5-'j electoral votes ; and the Demo
crats nine, casting G2 votes. It will re
quire 179 electoral votes to make a choice
of President. It will therefore be ouly
necessary for the Republicans to obtaiu
six votes in addition to those thev mav
certainly claim. To get these they wav
100k to Valilornia, Connecticut, ew
Hampshire, Louisian-i. or New York, all
of which are reallv lie nub limn in their
politics. Ou the other hand, it would b.
necessary for the Democrats, ia adlinou
to the States which now belong to them,
to carry every one of the thirteen contest
ed States to secure an election. There
are many sanguine men on that side oi
the fence, but a study of the figures and
facts must conviuce them that in making
a fight next summer and fall they uiut
encounter certain failure.
