You will divine-you who read the Philadel-
phia papers-that my mind, in writing this, was
upon the Convention of the Pennsylvania Wo
mans Suffrage Association. The meeting was
large, in small way, and the proceedings
moved in the usual placid fashion, but the larg-
est and best of these meetings seem so trifiing
aud appear to do 80 little towards the result de-
sired. Must it be such slow work? 1t is 30
mean Of US THAT is the point $50 mean of us.
The mere holding, the mere necessity Of these
meetings, is an insult to woman. feel like get

Resignation Of Secretary Coz.

The press aud people generally have been con-
'siderabley exercised over the causes which lead
to the resignation and retirement from the Cabi-
netof Secretary Cox. nsendng in his rest ignution
he starts out by saying that he" was credibly in
formed that a somewhat systematic effort would
be made before the assembling Of the next Con :
gress to force change In the policy have pur-
sued In the Interior Department" Not wishing
to be interfered with in the honest administrs-
tion ofhis duties, by the wire pullers, and not
wishing TO embarrass the President with the con.
hict that was likely to ensue, he resigned.
GEo. W. Curtis, the able editor Of Horpers
Weckyl, sums tho whole matter up in the follow
ing short paragraph;
The publication Of Secretary Cox's letter Of
| resignation settles the question that he re.ires
| because OF the reasons which we have already
stated. "0ur active political managers" in
terfercd so grossly with the efficiency of the de-
partment that they or the Secretary must with
draw and, comprehendng that under the cir
cumstauces arising from vicious system, for
the present impregnably established, other and
more Immediately important purposes might be
| promoted by his resignation, he resigned. Seq
retary Cox left 10 the decision Of the President
| the question whether the administration could
safely provoke the hostility Of "Our active polit-
ical mangaers," and the President decided that il
could not. Probaly the decision was correct
| Under the practice Of every party, and the i'm
| perative political traditions of nearly half q
century the attempt to free the country Of the
| incubus Of patronage would have left The admin
istraton powerless. But the fact should only
| the more plainly show us that the present system
Is one which costs US the services Of the bes
men, and sinks US deeper aud deeper in corrup'
| ton.

Bos7os, August 5, 1915.
II appears by Welington's official account Of
the battle fought at Waterloo, in Belgium. that
Ionaparte was defeated with a loss Of 10000
killed and wounded, 200 cannon aud two eagles.
The loss on the part OF the allies is also severe
IntutiVely, on reading this statement, the
mind turns to the comparative dates of the two
itsms Of news, aud is again almost startled by
renewed sense of the wonder working age
which has Interviewed, since it took oyer two
months, by the. most rapid known means. for
the brisfest news Of an event like the battle of
Waterloo to get from Belgium to the people Of
Canton.
Another interesting feature Of this case, is the
fact that Mr.. JAMES SAxTos, the editorial chron-
iclsr Of the fall OF NAPoLEoN I, at Waterloo
lives 10 chronicle the fall OF NAPoLEoN III, at
Sedan. The RepOsitOry asks; "Is there in the
world another editor who, in the active exercise
Of his profession, has had the fortune to dispatch
by bis own paper the first and last Of the NAPO-
LKoNsS" There are probably others living who
were editors in 1875 but We doubt II another
can be found who has been continuously in the
business to this time.

that JAMES SAxToN, editor of the Canton, Ohio,

who, from the files of his own paper, had been
able to chronicle the fall of the two NAPoLEoNs.

giving its first news of the defeat aud capture of

II will be seen that Dayton has had fiye Iairs;
Cleveland four; Colembus four Cincinnati aud
Tsledo, each, two; and Newark, Sandusky,
Zanes lille aud Springfield, each, one. The most
successful, pecuniarily, was that at Toledo last
year; the next that at Dayton in 1867; the third
that at Springfield this year; the fourth, that at
Cincinnati in 1857. The least successful was
that at Cincinnati in 1850 The next at Colum-
bus in 1851; the next at Newark 10 1854.
In elch case, except Toledo and once at Day
ton, il will be observed that where the fair has
been held two years in succession at the same
place the receipts have been smaller the second
year. Springfield, in 1871, will probably form
another exception.
