A STRANGE METZ SECT

When the matter comes to be looked at calmly,
the number of surprising things constantly being
done by the women Of this country is simply as
tonishing. Like the inventors, they never sleep
we speak In flgurative language. Their actions
continually furnish food for thought not to
mention aliment for admiration. We will not
sneak of their bewildering decision to make the
most radical change in their dress ever known to
history-we have said too much about this already.
Nor will we 90 back TO their extraordinary p0liti
cal movements in Kansas nor to their amazing
encounters with wild beasts in different parts Of
the country. 1t is isolated cases of unexpected
actions on the part of women, rather than general
movements, which excite our wonder. as, for in
stance, their formation of n baseball club
in Ohio. mentioned by The Tribune yesterday.
Nor is there a less amazing body of women reported
from another quarter which we may mention to-
day.
A week or so ago. a dispatch was printed from
Madrid. telling of the formation there of pc
cullar sect known as the Society of Women Re-
formers Men also belonged TO the new society,
n was explained-indeed, their membership seemed
necessary in order to carry out the most curious
OF It's customs, that in regard to bringing about
marriages. At any regular meeting Of the society,
any woman member might, 1t told us, rise
in her place and announce in loud voice /
wish TO marry so-and-so,' naming the fortunate
ar unfortunate man. and SO-and-sO was then and
there married To the woman by the Ponth OF the
society Over 300 such marriages had taken place
nj the date Of the dispatch, and there were numer-
GUS other women who il was believed would not sit
through many more regular meetings.
Though il was recognized by all who
read the account from Madrid that this was a

to conceal the grain. Proposals Tor securing
worlxmen's Boards of Arbitration and olu-ase
pensions reveal his handiwork, and the pro
visions for redistribution OF seats, Tor irlsn
local government and the abolition OF the Hit
crate vote are also characteristic evidences OF
his political ability. The industry OF the pat
form makers is an unerring forecast of dissolu-
ton in the spring.
Lord Beaconsfeld, if he had been Prime
Minister, would have appealed to the constlt-
uencies when Mr. parnell's struggle to retain
the Irish leadership filed the Liberals with dis
NAV year ago. He would have taken adyan-
taqe of a crisis in the fortunes OF Home huie
and have met the allies when they were dis
organized. torn asunder and despairing. LORD
Salisbury, more nice than wise, shrank nom
the semblance of appealing to the country
AGAINST Mr.. parnells immoralitieS. He hesi-
tated and lost his chance. The Liberals have
now reeained their courage; victories in the
by-elcctions have inspired them with hope; tho
COLLAPSE of Mr.. Parnells cause at Carlow has
restored the Home Rule alliance; and Mr.. Glad
stone is preparing for what may be the fnal
triumph of his eventful life.

THE DRIFT IN ENGLAND,

Lord SaliSburys reference to August, 1893,
as the constitutional limit of the present Parlia-
ment was probably meant as bit Of political
badinage. lie knows how strong is the Eng
lish feeling of respect for precedents and will
be very careful to avoid protractng the term
of the Parliament elected in 1886 beyond the
bounds established by common usage. In
August, 1892, that Parliament will enter upon
it's seventh year, and if the elections are not
held before October Of that year the longest
term since the passage of the Septennal Act
will be exceeded. TO postpone the elections
beyond that date would be to challenge the
electorate to enter into an agitation for the
repeal of the act. There is already a strong
feeling among Liberals in favor of amending
the act so as to involve more frequent appeals
to the electors. Prime Minister with a we'll
disciplined majority behind him can now con-
tinue to govern the kingdom year after year
when it is an open question whether he retains
or has lost the confidence of the people. The
turmoil and excitement of frequent elections
are avoided by this system, but it is not gov
eminent by the people. England while it Is a
monarchy is also democratic State where the
masses are supposed to rule through the leaders
of the political party placed in power by the
people Lord Salisbury is an old Tory swayed
by all the prejudices of the aristOcratic classes,
but he is too prudent to risk a direct challenge
to the English democracy.
The Prime Minister'S cOntemptuOus allusion
to the scope of the Septennial Act will NOT
serve the purpose of cOncealng the serious
preparations already making for an appeal to
the country in the spring. His advocacy Of
woman suffrage is obviously designed as "a
feeler" to ascertain how popular that question
will be with the rank and file of party which
is heavily reinforced in election years by the
vigorous campaigners of the Primrose League.
II is not probable that the Conservative party
is prepared to take up so radical measure as
woman suffrage, but Lord Salisburys proposal
will undoubtedly stimulate the ardor and en-
thusiasm of the danes of the League in cleo
ton, ring work What is more serious is the
construction of the platform on which the Union
lists are to stand when Parliament is dissolved.
MIR. Chamberlain's services as a master-calpenter
have been employed, and several planks have
been measured off under his direction on the
lines of State socialism, to be very carefully

nerhaps. strange that we are told the new
society Is awakening great enthusiasm. We SIN
cerelv hone that the remarkable women Of Boston
are taking this interest In 1t wholly in Bostonian
wav-that is as O fad-and not In q mercenary ana
worldly spirit. That there are many unmarried
women in Boston Is we'll kmown-indeed, the cold
and impairment census report shows this-and
there have not been wanting certain scoffers who
have declared that many Of these unmarried Boston
women could be nduced-that is-in short, that
Il would not DO an impossible task to lead many
Of them TO the hymeneal altar. This we have
never believed. We have always firmly held that
every one of these fair Boston women was single
from choice, having early in life seen that men
were hollow frauds and marriage an unsubstantial
delusion, unworthy the attention of woman OF
brains. This, we say, has always been our rooted
belief, and we should hate to have 1t shaken by
seeing these esteemed women take up the Spanish
idea permanently, and make constant use OF It's
peculiar facilities for promoting marriage AS
temporary amusement Boston may indulge In the
Society of Women Reformers but she must not
make it o. regular feature of her social life.
But, after ALL is there any danger of the society

the Boston men going TO be got into 1t? WIN a

A RUMANIAN LOVE AFFAIR.

Although as a general rule the consideration
and respect accorded to the fair sex diminish
with every step eastward yet it is an unde-
niable fact that nowhere has woman made her
presence moro strongly felt than in the recent
political history of the East of Europe. 1t was
the unfortunate love Of Crown Prince Rudolph
of Austria for beautiful Levantine that led to
his ingloriOus death at Meyerling-a death which
NAV vet result in conflicts of a serious nature in
connection with the succession to the Hungarian
Crown of st. Stephen. TO the caprices and
intrigues of ex-Queen Natalie of Servia must
he attributed the past and present difficulties
at Belgrade, which may at any moment pre-
cipitate European war. And now it is the
infatuation Of " Carmen Syva's' maid of honor,
Nile. Vacaresco, for the Crown Prince of Ru-
mania that threatens to bring about the over
throw Of that throne at Bucharest which King
Carol has occupied with so much advantage to
his adopted country and to Europe for quar-
ter of a century.
Nile. Vacarcsco like her royal mistress, is
a poet: and the two constitute a sort of mutual
admiration society. Constant association with
the Queen for several years has awakened in
the heart of the maid of honor a desire to occupy

leading thereto; and as Prince Ferdinand, the
nephew of the King and his heir-apparent, is
fairly good looking. several years younger than
herself and not particularly clever, she found
no difficulty in accomplishing that part of the
scheme which consisted in falling in love with
him and in capturing his inexperienced affec-
tiOns.
II is stated that Nile. VacareSco first made
Queen Elizabeth aware of the sentiments that
existed between herself and the Prince by
means of walking and talking in what appeared
to be her sleep, and that Her Majesty was com
petey taken in by this clever little piece of
comedy. Elizabeths sympathies were at once
awakened in behalf of the young lovers, and
she appears from that time forth TO have done
everything that lay in her power 10 promote the
views and aims of the young couple. The
difficulties and obstacles which lay in the way
of match between the two appealed most
strongly to her sentiments of romance while
she loved TO look forward to the prospect OF
being succeeded on the throne Of Rumania BY

The New-Jersey Board of Pardons seems to be

Mr. Alderman Flegenheirner is man OF won
derful invention. Up to this time his remarkable
attachments have not received that attention and
commentator from the general public that they
are plainly entitled to. Lately Mr.. Flegenheimer
has been riveting his powerful intellect upon the
problem Of keeping the streets free from blockades
while at the same time allowing their free use 10
ell corners. His plan, put briefly, was to set
apart certain streets for traffic moving uptown

in the opposite direction. The very simplicity Of
the plan called forth jeers from his fellOw-mem-

be feared that Mr. Alderman Flegenheimer will
carry to his dying day the sincere conviction that
he is an unappreciated man. Men Of genius have
had that experience before, so that this would-be

number Of inquisitive ladies In Indiana will

The parties to the suit settled their difficulties

have decided if the case had been completed. The

case, although they locked him in his room at a
hotel in the endeavor TO induce him to disclose
his opinion. If divorce had been granted the
couple concerned might have been less happy, but
