SUSAN B. ANTHoNY's GAINs.-Susan
B. Anthony said recently in reply to the
question "What have you accomplished
by your work for woman suffrage?"
"Well, [ should say we had accom-
plished great deal. Since the beginning
of the women suffrage agitation thirty
years ago we have gained school suffrage
in twelve states: law, theology and medi-
cine-all the professions have been
thrown open to us; all the western colleges
and universities admit women; there are
in this country one thousand licensed fe-
male doctors; there are fifty female law
yers, and women are allowed to practice
in the Supreme court of the United States,
although a number of states still shut us
out; there are forty female ministers in
the Universalist church alone, while hum
dreds of licensed female preachers are in
the Methodist church, doing the best kind
of revival work. Thirty years ago
women could only sew, cook and teach.
Now not trade hardly but has women
in it, Women are managers of large
stores and business, and manage great
farms with success. Why, the largest
farm in one county of Illinois is owned
and managed by woman. Your east
ern people ought to go west and see how
women are getting along with only few
of their rights

IRELAND'S SALVATION

LONDON, June 21.-Recept editorials
in American papers on the necessity oil
/ legislative independence of Ireland and
the establishment of a grand imperial
parliament, including representatives
from Australia, Canala, the Cape Ireland
and Scotland, attract much attention in
political circles, especially among the
Irish members of all shades of opinion
for or this point the majority of Irishmen
are agreed. These editorials, express, SO
far as the cable informs u.s. the ultimate
aim Of the Irish agitators, though hither-
to they have been almost altogether ST.
lent on the subject, at least in Parliament
They have thought first of getting the
land bill and afterward of raising the
more serious question, jnstly enough, per-
haps that if the greater question came up
for discussion, the land bill was to have
little chance of careful consideration and
that this veYed question is better settled
before than attef@fne change.
The suggestion has been discussed by
the Home Rulers that the campaign for
legislative independence should be
opened Immediately by having Justin
Mccarthy embody his views on the
subject in pamphlet for broadcast dis
tribution. Justin Mccarthy highly
approves of the proposed plan of confed-
Grafton, and would be prepared to accept
it. Many Irishmen would prefer it to
independence because while it would
guarantee home rule to the fullest extent
and afford wider scope to the intellect
ual classes by permitting them to take
part in the good government of vast
empire. Mr.. Mccarthy thinks the
scheme would soon strengthen and con-
solidate the empire, which in case of
war with any strong maritime power,
would undergo great strain. He con :
siders that public opinion III England is
becoming more favorable to some solu-
ton, looking to the relief Of Parliament
from the work of local Legislation. Mr.
OKelly expressed himself in similar
strain. He thinks the scheme proposed
would probably content Ireland and
solve the Irish question
ODonnell writes as follows: "These
articles express and explain the pro-
gramme of reconciliation between Ire
land and the British empire which l have
sought for years to advocate without
much more success than getting de-
nounced as an imperialist, though above
all things, | am an Irish nationalist"
Mr.. Parnell with whom | conversed
tonight in the smoking room of the
House of Commons, thinks that the pro-
ject of confederation Of England and
her dependencies is a practicable one,
but says: Il doubt much whether the
colonies would consent to union of the
kind, because it would certainly entail a
contribution from them to the imperial
revenue"
