WOMEN seem to be grandly rising to the occa-
Tampico, w. T., a crowd of women captured the
postmaster, and, stripping him to the skin,
publicly logged him until the blood flowed
copiously. He then fed. His offense was
cruelty to his wife. A New York woman, run
over by truck, had her leg amputated When
she recovered from the effects of the anmsthetic
she anxously inquired for the missing member
avowing that it must be accorded Christian
burial in her family plot To do this the attend
ing physicians had to prepare a formal death
certificate, duly setting forth that her
'leg had died of amputation," that it
was fifty years old, married, and part
mother of a family!' 1t was then
honored with sepulture. But Vermont
woman outdoes most of her sisters by shrewd
trick, played upon one of the physicians ap-
pointed to inspect and vaccinate persons coming
from Montreal Not wishing to bare her arm
it was a trhe too gothic, perhaps-she deftly
sewed button On the inside of her sleeve, just
over the place usually vaccinated. When the
doctor came through the train and ordered her
to bare her arm, she said: 'It is not necessary,
sir; you can feel the scab" When he touched
the button she gave little scream, and he
passed on. satisfied. All these things have hap
pened within the past few days, yet there are
people who plead that woman is oppressed and
deprived of her rights.

please about President travelling just as
other people travel; but the fact remains that
there never has been a President travel so,
and there never will be. The Herr Mosts and
Sancho Panzas may rant and rave about the
government amounting to nothing, and of
the worthlessness of the officers we take such
infinite pains and expense to elect but it all
ends in wind. The country knows better,
and the great mass of the people think the
government very important thing, and the
constitutionally chosen officers worth caring
for when alive, and mourning when dead.

NOBODY but few hot-headed Democrats,
and thoughtless men who mistake bravado for
courage, condemn the sensible action of the
President in not exposing himself at this par
ticular juncture to the extra-hazardous risks
of journey to Indianapolis. Republicans
lost two Presidents in little more than six
teen years, a record almost as bad as that of
Nihilistic Russia, and Republicans have
learned to care for the safety of the Nations
chief executive. But leaving out the improb-
able danger of assassination at the hands of a
crank, there was too much risk in the flight
Of an extra express train across thousand
miles of country to be lightly braved at
time when there was no legal succession to the
presidency provided. Let it be conceded that
the Americans are self-contained enough and
patriotic enough to meet the occasion without
harm to the government, it is one of those
strains that no temperate man cares to see put
upon the people, to say nothing of the worry
and expense of a new election, which would
be necessary. The President did we'll to stay
at Washington, and the people will approve

ing like tigers" using umbrellas, sticks,
stones, clubs and other weapons. They were
with difficulty driven back by the police. It
was Polish Catholic Church at Toledo that,
only few weeks ago. had similar disgrace
full riot, and it was Polanders that precipitated
the recent strike at Cleveland, which for
time threatened to involve workingmen of all
kinds. The present mining troubles at Nc
Keesport, Pa, ara on account of the Poland
ers, some thousands of whom have never been
naturalized. Quite number of the serious
labor troubles that have vexed the people of
this country have been precipitated by ignor-
ant and vicious aliens. American working
men should be wise enough and strong enough
to hold out against these trouble-makers
Harm only can come of their perverseness, as
it did at South Bend, this State, when riot
was started by exactly the same kind of
fellows.

DIR. J. Ell. WOODBURY., of this CITY. gives
an account of having treated Mr. Hendricks,
during his term Of Office as Governor, for con-
cussion of the brain-the result Of backward
fall upon his door-steps, and which kept him
confined to his bed for several DAYS. Like
most men of his years and active life, Mr.
Hendricks had his physical ups and downs,
and this violent fall may have had, as DR..
Woodburn suggests, some causative relation
to the development of his final malady. It is
well understood that DR.. Thompson gave Mr..
Hendricks treatment for an apparently trihing
ailment, and it is equally as apparent that he
was not so apprehensive Of his physical con-
dition and probable abrupt taking-off as was
Mr.. Hendricks himself In the interests of
medical science, and to put at rest the ques-
ton Of the cause of death, the autopsy which
the physician suggested should have been
held.

THE Baptist ministers of Boston must be
deeply impressed with the prompt and direct
manner in which their prayers are answered,
but such is the inconsistency of human ma.
ture that just as likely as not they will grum-
BILE over the matter. After having expelled
Pastor Downs from membership in the con-
ference, they prayed that he might repent
and so change his conduct as to win the sym
pathy of his brethren and of the Christian
public. Next day IL, 900 representatives of
presumably Christian public went to hear him
preach, and a sufficient number of the breth-
rem from Bowdoin street swore allegiance to
him to give him the majority of that church
organization. Boston religion is eccentric in
its development but its devotees 'stand by. !"

DIR. "BAUDUY, the physician in charge of
st. Vincent's the Catholic asylum of st.
Louis speaks in the highest terms of the value
of cocaine as remedial agent, particularly as
he has used it in the treatment of insanity.
Among other things he says: can inebriate
can be cured with cocaine. Formerly all we
could do was to straighten man out and pre-
pare him for another drunk. Now we can
cure him, and it remains with him whether he
acquires the cocaine habit, to which frankly
admit the morphine habit is as the sapling
to the oak" Among the patients in
ST. Vincents is the Rt. Rev. James
Duggan, ex-Bishop of Chicago, who has been
an inmate for the past fifteen years, suffering
from insanity. DR.. Bauduy spoke in hopeful
terms of the probability Of the Bishops re-
covery, after long years of disability. Should
such thing really occur, DR.. Duggan could
not oficiate in the Chicago diocese without
the permission of Archbishop Feehan. In the
event of his restoration, Bishop Duggan would
probably be transferred to another see.

Mr.. CLAYTON McMIcHAEL has been re-
ieved of the Office Of Marshal of the District
of Columbia, to be succeeded by Mr.. A. L.
Wilson, resident of Washington City The
President accompanies the announcement of
the change to Mr. McMichael with a letter,
the tenor of which should make the Office of
marshal one utterly unworthy the acceptance
OF any free-born, self-respecting American
citizen. Mr. Cleveland's idea of the Office is
evidently that of chief Turnkey and body
servant.

A DEEP anxiety is manifested just nowsin
the passage of bill by the coming Congress
to settle the question of presidential succession
in the absence of Vice-president Senator
Hoars bill, which provides that Cabinet
officers shall be eligible, is the measure now
generally favored by Democratic journals,
inasmuch as the office in such case would re-
main in control of the same party of which
the regularly elected President had been a
member. This bill passed the Senate unani
mously last session, but the Democratic House
preferred to leave the whole presidential ques-
ton, both as to the count of the electoral
vote and the succession, in doubt and con-
fusion. Now, however, when it is their party
that is in power, they are very willing for the
passage of the bill 1t is perhaps proper and
desirable that the party which was intrusted
by the people with the care of the government
for four years should retain that power to the
end of the term, whatever contingencies may
arise; but may it not be that the people of the
United States as whole, will be unwilling
that the President whom they elect shall be
qualified to choose his own successor, as would
be, practically, the case under this rule, if he
were to die before the term had expired. The
people have no choice in the selection Of Cab
met officers, and to place one Of them even
temporarily in the highest Office of the Nation
is contrary to the american idea" The idea
and principle Of the bill will bear investiga-
ton and discussion. Another objection to it
is that of increasing the already inflated idea
of the position of 'fCabinet' minister. The
country has had a good deal Of Cabinet"
government, and it is questionable whether it
desires to 60 any further in that direction.

The decision of the Ohio Supreme Court,
by which the registry law for Cleveland and
Cincinnati is abrogated, says.
ri. The General Assembly, under the gen
eral grant Of legislative power secured to it by
the Constitution, has power to provide by
statute for the registration Of voters and to
enact that all electors must register before
being permitted to vote.
'2. Such an act, however; to be valid must
be reasonable and impartial, and calculated to
facilitate and secure the constitutional right
of suffrage, and not to subvert or injuriously
unreasonably or unnecessarily to restrain,
impair or impede the right.
90. The registration act of Ohio go G. L.,
1922, relating to elections in Cincinnati and
Cleveland, requiring registration in all cases
as a condition to the right of suffrage in those
Cities and allowing the voters only seven
specified days within the year in which to
register, and to correct the registration, which
contains no provision for registration after the
seven days, though five days thereafter inter
vene before election day, nor any regulation
whereby those constitutionally qualified may,
upon proof of their qualifications and a reason
able excuse for not registering in time, be al
lowed to vote, or when no other
means are provided whereby per-
sons necessarily absent at the
time fixed for registration may have their
names registered, is unreasonable and has a
direct tendency to impede and impair the
right of suffrage, and may disinfranchise with
out their fault large body of voters neces-
sarily absent from the place Of registry dur
ing the allotted time of registration, and is
therefore unconstitutional and void
This decision seems to strike at the very
essence and value Of all registry laws. If a
registry law is unconstitutional that does not
facilitate" voting we confess we do not see
how any law can be passed to do any good in
keeping out frauds on the day of election.
The fundamental idea of a registry law is not
to facilitate" voting. Indeed, it is to prevent
too much facility" in voting

IT would be magnanimous thing for Re-
publican Senate to elect Democratic Presi-
dent pro tem In fact it would be much
moro than magnanimous. The Senate is,
after all, elected by the people as much as is
the Vice-president, so that it cannot be ar
gued, even as decent and courteous action,
to elect a Democrat to succeed Democrat as
its presiding officer The man to be elected
Is to preside over tho Senate-nothing more,
except in the remote contingency of the death
OF the President. 1t is worse than foolish to
hint that a man should be chosen to preside

THE conspicuous display of the American
flag on the occasion of the election jubilee at
Dublin must be accepted as very compliment
ary While the United States has no desire
and probably never will because Of the Irish
question, it is gratifying to know that the op
pressed of Ireland hold our Nation in such
high esteem. 1t is so in all countries where
intelligence prevails, but political freedom is
held in check by overpowering force. The
oppressed of all lands look with longing eyes
toward the shores of America, and many at
test their admiration Of our institutions by
coming here and taking up their abode. This
is not altogether owing to the accident
of location, nor to the fact that
vast reaches Of unclaimed land has
been ours. These have attracted thousands,
but vicious or illiberal form of government
would have repealed them. The founders Of
this Republic builded broadly and wisely.
The imperfections they could not avoid are be-
ing remedied, and the plan of government is
steadily being bettered. There is enough in
it to win the support of every good citizen,
and to render patriotic every intelligent man
or woman who seeks asylum and a home
with this people. The lesson to be learned is
an answering fidelity to the Nation and it's
laws. These must be respected, not by indi-
viduals only, but by organizations, however
powerful, and by the people of all parts of this
great country. This done, and the American
flag will continue to be respected all over the
earth
