Gov. McLANE has vetoed the cheap marriag
license bill, on the ground that it would reduc
the revenues of the state S27, 600. So the ma

THE lower house Of the Connecticut legislator
has just overwhelmingly defeated the propose
law to empower women to vote on license and i
school meetings. The Massachusetts legislator
at its present session has treated the woman SUI
frage question in the same way. The wise me-
OF the east regard women as creatures whom tn
franchise has no right to respect. That sove
reign gift belongs to the male persuasion, NJ
matter in what state of density and unintelligen
capacity they may be.
SIR LEPEL GRIFFEN, who is having temp orar,

A WITTY paragrapher remarks that after all the
excitement about his lost robes Baron Tennyso1
seems to have slipped into his seat in the house
of lords with the barest notice. The Londor
Times of March ~ simply and ungrammatically
says: SIN the house of lords last evening Lore
Tennyson took his seat on his elevation to the
peerage." 1t is safe to say that Lord Tennysor
sat ON something besides his elevation
A THOUGHTFUL journal, correcting the mslead
ng statement by Miss Emily Faithful that Kate
Fields remedy for mormonsm is ''blood and the
sword" says that Miss Kate only suggests more
schools and better educative work in Utah, and

THE only daughter of Judge Kelley, the
"Father of the House," is spoken of as an on
thusiastic student of political economy. 1t would
be interesting to know from what sources the
young lady obtains instruction, as there are no
practical examples in this day and generation.

THE new free-school book law will cost Boston
S15O,OO0 this year, and 100000 annually after
wards. If the law is honestly administered it
may prove public benefit and at all events it
will have tendency to prevent local school
boards from being subsidized and corrupted by
school book publishers, which, as matters are in
most states, is the prevailing experience.
THE intense quietude of Ex-Gov. Butler pro-
vokes the newspapers, so the Philadelphia Times
solioquizes, 'Can it be that rare Ben. Butler has
faded away with the pink sunsets?," and the
Newark NeaCs puts the problem, ''Can it be that

Butler will be heard from soon after Lent.
THE German army entrols four hundred
thousand men, and the United States army is
composed of barely twenty-five thousand, yet it
costs Germany but $500, 900 more to maintain its

port its $4,000. Such tale of governmental
profigacy needs no commentary.
