When the territorial legislature twice
passed Laws admitting women % the right
OF suffrage which, the courts twice refused
10 sustain. the advocates Of that supposed
reform protested that all they asked or
needed vas submission Of the question
10 the people.
They have had VIVA. they asked for.
The question has been submitted 20 the
reople. II cannot he denied that the
friends Of the measure have had a fair field
and full opportunity TO eyangeiize. The
people have given Somewhat resoanding
verdict against the proposition. The de-
ceased condition. OF door nail II not more
hopeless Of resurrection than Is woman saf-
f.ase in the state OF Washington for many
years to come.
And yet there Is no community in all the
world where good women are held in higher
esteem than RICH, here. The very reyer-
ence with which they are regarded is the
best assurance that the demanded nova
ton was not needed. The men OF Wash
ington have confidence in themselves and
in their Representatives that they viii deny
10 good women no right or privilege which
will he clearly to their advantage. They
are entirely seif-reiiant that they Will do
the women chiyalric justice.
Now IL would be well for the woman suf-
fragists TO accept the situation. and 10 quit

able, compare notes with the average citi-

A large majority, no doubt. Of the mem
bers elect To the legislature entertain liberal
and advanced views as To woman s capacity
and rights. and would be very respectful to
rational suggestions.
In other states of late years there have
been liberal enactments in respect to women,
which IL would be well TO look up and
submit to legislative consideration. In
many respects, perhaps, our young state,
untrammeled by presidents, may adopt
ideas which viii be approved by experience
aud may afford models for imitation by
older states.

euration Of busting around the polls at
election time.

Poverty in London.

The poverty OF London receives daily
increment from agricultural England.
The land is going out of use. One can travel
many miles without finding furrow or a
crop, even ia the counties where formerly
the tillase was universal. When the queen
mounted the throne the grain production
was thirteen bushels per inhabitant. Nov
it is eight. Rents have risen, while the
area under cultivation has diminished. The
Young men who ought 10 be farming

already it is most excessive. They are

kind. They must be laborers. and the
docks are their first resort.

Bruno. Hero and Martyr.
Boston Budget.

The pastoral letter of Cardinal Gibbons,
in which he attacks the memory OF Bruno,
will have the effect to make many who
never heard OF him before inquire who and
wha, Bruno was, and they will learn that
ne was a patriot who had convictions, and
having corresponding courage, suffered
martvrdom because of them. He is one OF
the heroes of Italian history. and it would
have been wiser on the part OF Cardinal
Gibbons to allow him TO sleep quietly in his
grave. Now that intelligent Catholics have
learned from so eminent an authority as
the cardinal archbishop of Baltimore that
the works of Bruno are pernicious, they
will be sure TO read them.
