Woman Suffrage.

The Glastonbury affair has brought
this subject again prominently before
the public mind. The Smith Sisters,
of Glastonbury, Conn, adopting the
theories of ,he old revolutionary fathers
that there should he no taxation with
out representation, refused to pay their
taxes because not allowed to vote, and
they had no representation by husband,
or father, or brother. The cruel au-
thoritics drove away their cows and
sold them to pay the taxes on their
property. 1t does seem to be case of
peculiar hardship, and yet the course
pursued by these ladies, and the rec
concentration of the National Woman
Suffrage Association that "a woman
should get her ballot in the ballot box
whenever she can find an election judge
that will receive it," and that "every
woman who holds property that was as
sessed should not pay it unless she be
permitted to vote" will hardly COM

we should submit to it, or go to some

THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND
THE PopE.-We have endeavored on more
than one occasion to point out the facts,
very imperiectly understood in this coun-
try and England, that the issue in Prussia
is not between Professionalism aud Catholi.
ciam, but the policy Of Bismark is equal
ly hostile TO the professions Of high church
Protestants and Catholics, though not,
we believe, hostile to Christianity, as ad.
ministcred by any church, dsunited from
state. The following possesses some in
terest as confirming this view. 1t is
from the Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don News Any doctor of divinity who
looks on Prussia as the champion of
Professionalism, graphing with the Roman
Catholic church in the interest of Protes-
tantism, is poorly acquainted with the
facts. No person in position to speak
for the evangelical church here will gain.
say this statement. Furthermore, the
only, absolutely the only, support which
the Catholic clergy have received, wheth-
or in the press, in the Parliament, or in
public circles, has been given by the or
thodox Protestant element, given, not in
spite Of, but in virtue Of, its orthodoxy
and Its Professionalism. The 6rmer and
keener mans Protestant convictions in
Prussia, the more outspoken and bitter is
his opposition to the measures which have
been taken against INSTRUMENTATION. This
is the rule, and there are very few excep-
tions. The Protestants on this side the
channel have not held or will not hold
any meetings to express sympathy with
the clerical policy of the Prussian gov
eminent. II worthy churchmcu in Eng
land are prepared to support series oil
measures which Prussian Protcstants
declare tend not toward the triumph oil
their faith over Romanism, but Of skepti
cism, infde!ity, atheism, over all religion
If, l cay, English churchmen are pre-
pared to support such measures, they
ought to know exactly on what reasoning
their action is based They will be per
iectly right and perfectly logical if the.
only free their minds from certain pref
udices. 1t is not theological quarre
which is now raging in Prussia it is no
secular quarrel wsged b the statf }ESd ,,
which Professionalism can hope to win an
substantial advantage.
