WOMAN suffrage in Washington terri
tory gets decided setback by the de-
cisioa os the full bench of the terri
torial supreme corrt, sustaining a de-
cision of one uf the supreme court JUS
tices that the Legislature of the terri
tory exceeded it's powers when it gave
women the right to vote. The full bench
holds with this justice that Congress in
granting territory in the organic act
the right 10 confer suffrage has in view
male citizens only. The p.ucky band OF
woman suffragists in the territory have
already taken an appeal to the United
States supreme conrt. Henry Blackwell,
widely known from his advocacy of the
cause, is quite hopeful that the territorial
decision will be reversed. For five years
women have bee. voting without any
protes. to speak OF; but their aggressive
measure to secure the passage of local.
option law have brought them into dis
favor with those men who have the liquor
interests az heart,-as Mr.. Blackwell looks
at the matter,
EUROPEAN politics threaten to become
interesting very fast. The visit of Count
Crispi to Germany is Of much more i'm
portance as a pointer than the Russian
tour of the emperor. The Russian press
does not say so; it would not be polite to
alarm the public by so doing; but Italy is
mo ring along with firmness and de-
sis,on very unusual The fact that the
Italian prime minister does not reply to
the representations of France concerning
the annexation of Massowah is proof
positive that it ia within the line of bat.
tie now being formed by the great diplo
mats. The most optimistic observer
cannot deny that Europe is approaching
another crisis. This time ii is Prince
Bismarck who is forcing the issue. The
news that the French minister of marine
has ordered the equipment OF eight iron
clads to join the squadron in the Medit-
erranean may be taken as the answer of
France to the annexation of Massowahf
It is not to be inferred that the clash o
arms is to come this year. The first bat.
tie will be over the council board. 1t well
serves Bismarck's purpose to have the
breach between Italy and France deepen
ed by frigid correspondence and the
the movements of fleets. It confirms the
triple alliance, and will give Bismarck q
free band when the Berlin congress
meets.
