Yesterday was q red-letter day for those
who desire to see suffrage thrown wide open
to women. The bill comforting that night upon
the women of this State was ordered to thlrd
reading in the Assembly by a vote OF seventy
seven of the members and Mr.. Haggerty, who
had the bill in charge, stated, rs the result OF
his examination, that the Senate would concur
in the Assembly's action. We have no desire
to dim the expectations of those made glad by
this vote, but they would do well to "reJolce
with trembling During the past ten years
many woman suffrage bill has finally come
to grief whose prospects up to the crucial
point of third reading were as fine as those OF
the present measure.
The loudly decorated shed which has been
for some years doing double duty as boat
house and a screen to shut cut the view OF the
lake from Central Park Terrace has been swept
away by order of Mr.. Vaux, the Superintend-
ING Architect Commissioner Lane thinks he
knows the difference between n structure and
an obstruction" and at the Board meeting
yesterday he was disposed to murmur III his
gentle way because he had not been consulted
about the abolition of the she'd But the Board
actually voted that the protection OF the land
scape and design of the Park was one OF tho
duties of a Supervising Landscape Architect.
Coming from such a source this m9y be well
coined as a refreshing deliverance
The Democrats in Congress are repeating
their familiar dog-in- he-manger policy on the
tariff question. If they cannot NEEDLE with 1t
themselves and throw the industrial interests
of the country into hopeless confusion, they
will do their best to prevent the Republicans
from taking any action. They agreed to allow
the Tariff Commission bill to come to vote,
but they have broken their faith, and the pros
pect at present is that the bill will he delayed
so long that it will fail to pass at all. Every
body is agreed that the tariff needs revision,
and while many think that Congress ought to
do the work rather than Tclegate 1t to Com
mission, still it is evident that Congress will
not do the work at this session. and 1t is
either a Commission or nothing The Demo-
Gratis are casting all their influence in favor of
nothing, and upon them Will rest the response
bility Of failure
Mr. Forster has not been a successful Secre-
tary for Ireland, but we doubt if any other
Englishman would have been any more eff
cent in applying the Coercion Acts than he has
been. If he has failed to intimidate the Irish
people with the Force Acts, not one of his aSso-
cates would have had any better luck. When
he was steering the Elementary Education
Act through the Commons years ago, the insin-
uation used to be made that he expended all his
energies in making the measure acceptable to
the Opposition, Oiling it wherever friction was
developed, and in this way enabling it to slip
through the Lords. The charge of trimming
cannot be brought against him in connection
with the Coercion Acts. He has done his best
for his own party, and has failed because failure
was inevitable.
The agreeable announcement is made by the
Garfield Monument Commission that the public
response to their appeals for funds has been so
liberal as to insure the success of their project.
They have sufficient money on hand already to
erect a suitable memorial, but they have de-
cidcd TO ask Tor q general contribution on
Decoration Day in order to make the monument
more entirely worthy the hero whom it will
commemorate. We have no doubt the response
will be a generous one. 1t is peculiarly fitting
that the brave soldiers memory should be
brought afresh on that day before the people
who loved him so well. The prompt response
which the people have made already shows
that his memory is still green in their hearts.
The Americans are distinguished for the ease
with which they pass from one great sensa-
ton to another, and for their readiness in for
getting to-day what profoundly moved them
yesterday but they have not forgotten Gar
field and his suferings in their behalf, nor the
heroic forttude with which he bore his ordeal.
1t will be many years before that experience
will be forgotten.
