QUEEN VICTORIA is said to be a very de-
cided opponent of woman suffrage. So
strongly does she feel upon this subject
that she recently testified most emphati-
cally her condemnation of pamphlet
written by literary lady of London, de-
nouncing the woman suffrage movement
and the women engaged in it. Victoria
ordered highly complimentary letter to
be sent the authorizes, together with :
considerable sum of money to be used for
the more general circulation of the pam
phlet. Considering that the Queen OF
England holds higher Office than any
other woman in the world, the Philadel-
phia Press thinks her strenuous opposi-
ton 20 the extension of the suffrage tc
her sisters may be regarded as slightly
paradoxical, unless, as is probable enough
she judges by the Scripture rule, ant
finds abundant reason in her own expert
ence against comforting political powe'
upon women.

Ii appears that Holden and Kirk are
backed by Grant in their lawless course in
North Carolina. The Raleigh Standard,
Holden's organ, defes the judiciary of
that State and the men who say they will
uphold its decisions. 1t also quotes the
following assurance from Grant to the
Governor 'Iet those men resist you,
Governor, and I will move with all my
power against them" The Standard
then adds: ''Thus backed, and relying
upon the justice of our cause, we accept
the issue made by traitors" Here we
have the secret of Holden's boldness and
the outrages of his satrap Kirk upon the
unoffending people of North Carolina.
Grant backs them.
