WENDELL PHILLIPS AND THE WOMEN
Even the great agitator is Inconsistent some
times. He told a friend recently that he did
not want to run for Governor on the woman
suffrage ticket, and consequently the Woman
Suffrage Convention at Boston yesterday
refused to nominate him. But Mr. Phillips
has been connected with the woman move
ment, or at least he has appeared prominently
in the meetings of the advocates of the move
ment for some time, and if he now refuses their
nomination, which would make the third for
him, we must attribute it to political expe-
diency. And yet when he first entered the
present campaign we complimented him for
his straightforward course and thought that he
was determined to push the canvass through
without thought of political trickery or expe-
diency, especially as be seemed sincere in his
Indifference to winning.

DEMOCRATIC AGITATION In PRUSSIA. -Our
special correspondent in Berlin telegraphs
that great change has come over the feelings
of the people in that city. The enthusiasm
that existed at the opening of the war and at
the news of the wonderful and unvarying tri
umphs of the German arms has abated and
the general sentiment now is for the war to
end and for peace to be restored. Much Of
this change of feeling is due, of course, to the
mourning and misery which the war has
brought home to palace as well as to cottage
all over the land But much of it Is also
attributed to an undercurrent Of popular SYM
pathy with the republican government Of
France and to the conviction among the masses
that the most complete triumph of the German
arms will bring no material or political benefit
to the people. We know how thoroughly King
William despises all democratic attempts at
reform; and yet it might be wise for him to
pause and listen to that COO popuI which, even
in Prussia, may prove too powerful for his
own despotic and obsolete principle Of the
divine right Of kings

The PORE AND THE KING OF ITALY.-The
Holy Father is still in Rome. He does not
seem uncomfortable in his old quarters and
with his new body guard But King Victor
Emanuel is to enter Rome in triumph on the
18th proximo. The Roman government pro
tempore has voted some fifty millions to defray
the expenses of the Inauguration of Rome as
the capital Of Italy. 1t Is to be grand
demonstration. 1t will last, in all likelihood,
for days and will unquestionably be true
Roman festival after the ancient fashion. But
how will the Pope like it Will he like it at
ALP In the great tableau arranged for the
occasion what place is assigned to the Pope
Are We to have a second flight Of Pho Mono
or a genuine reconciliation Of the chief Of
Catholic Christendom and the chief Of united
Italy7 The fight is spoken Of as probable |;
but % also Is tho reconciliation.
