LITERARY NOTE,

Apropros of the reall of the italian
minister, ex-Secretary Thomas F. Bayard
is preparing an article for the May
Forum on the power of the United
States to enforce treaties violated within
a states jurisdiction. Though suggest
ed by the present controversy with Italy,
this paper will cover the whole ground
thoroughly, and will refer also especially
to cases that arose during Mr.. Bayard's
own diplomatic experience.
The same number of the Forum will
contain an explanation of the new Com
monwealth of Australia, which has Just
been formed, by Sir Roderick Cameron,
of New York, who is perhaps the best
informed man in the United States on
Australian subjects, having been knight
ed by the queen for eminent services to
Australia by promoting trade with
America. The new Australian common
wealth is a matter of great pride TO
Americans, because in greet measure
it has adopted the constitution and many
of the political institutions of our own
country.

HUNTING THE KANGAROO.

The Grotesque Flight of n Herd Upsets
the Gravity of "A Hunter.
The rest of the herd Immediately made
off in our direction; but instead of scat

tive pickaninnies bringing up the rear.
The doe covered the ground with ire
mendous leisurely hops, holding haE fore
paws before her in mincing way that

The smaller animals, each an exact
though diminutive counterpart of the

less, it might perhaps have brought her

FEMALE SUFFRAGE FAILS.

| Frsm the Troy Chief.
We must say that the experiment of
female suffrage, as demonstrated In
Kansas, is sad failure. The women,
except in isolated cases, show reiuct-
ance to vote; and when they do turn
out, it is not for high motive but
on account of some unworthy issue con-
cocted by the men. Those who take
real interest in voting, are those who
have for years been agitatorS of the cause
of woman suffrage. Take the late cleo
ton in Topeka. A Resubmission Demo
crat was elected mayor over Prohlbl-
ton Republican, by the votes OF the
wives Of Prohibition Republicans. Now,
woman should not be deemed I'M
worthy of the right Of suffrage because
she chooses to vote for a Democrat, or
contrary to the way her husband votes.
She should have the same choice as
man. But when a woman who claims
to be Republican and a Prohlbltionlst
votes against a candidate of like views,
and for man who is Democrat and
Resubmissionist, for the reason that con-
trolled SO many of the women of Topeka,
they are not fit to have the right to vote.
What do you think that reason was:
Ht UlOSt OI llIo COlOlFo "OiliCh 'OeS~
for the Republican candidate, and sew
eral hundred of these nice, Christian
women voted for the Democrat, because
they did not want to vote as the ''nlgger
women" did. What! they vote the same
way as their washerwomen? They vote
as women did whose color does not
match the new spring bonnets and high
tea gowns? After squaking for years for
their rights" these heightened women
were ready to make an exhibition of
themselves because class of little
favored women in social standing and
wealth enjoyed the same right. The
dirtiest and most slanderous election
ever held in Troy, was caused by lot of
scandal-monger women sneaking around,
a day or two before the election, among
the women, loaded with falsehoods and
scandals, raising a false issue against
set of candidates who were among the
most honorable citizens in the town.
They did it at the instigation of their nus
bands and their ''set." They failed, and
since then women have taken no interest
in voting. 1t discouraged the high
flyers, and disguised the modest women.
We may add, that since then, Troy cleo
tions have been quiet.

A touching story was told of Tamber-
Xix, the tenor singer. Passing through
Madrid one bright spring morning, he
visited the bird market and bought every
bird in it. He ordered the cages to be-
carried into the Plaza and opened. The
sunny air was filed with fiuttering
host, and from hundreds os tiny threats
burst songs of delight. Tamberlik looked
after them with tears of pleasure in his
eyes, crying, "Go, and be- free, my
brothers,
a similar story is told of kindly old
Virginian, who used 10 celebrate the
Fourth of July by buying up all the
Gagged squirrels, rabbits and birds in the
neighborhood, and then setting them
free, that they, too, might rejoice in the
day of independence. The creatures TO
whom he gave happiness are long since
dead, but the children who saw his
kindly act have carried its influence
through their lives.-Youth's Compan-

PARTITIONING THE DARK CON-
TINENT,

Few people would have imagined that
the possessions of France in Africa were
greater than England's, and yet the fol-
lowing publication states the fact:
''The latest calculation of the African
possessions of the European great powers
is as follows: France, 100000 square
kiometers, with 24,000,O00 inhabitants;
England, including Egypt, 10000
square kilometers, with 100000 in
habltants; Germany, 100000 square
kilometers, with 100000 inhabitants;
Portugal, 100000 square kilometers,
with 10000, 900 Inhabitants; italy, $780,
600 square kilometers, with 100000 in
habitants.
1t will be seen that no mention is
made here of Congo Free State, but to
whatever power that territory eventu
ally falls the control of Africa will pass
with it. That power will be either Ger
many, France or England with the
chances two to one in favor of the last
named country.

The French Academy.

The French academy IS one OF five acade-
mics, and the highest, constituting the In
stitute of France. 1t was founded in 1886
by the Cardinal Richelieu, and reorganized
in 1916. 1t is composed of 40 members,
elected for life. after personal application
and the submission of their nomination to
the head of the state. 1t meets twice
weekly, and is THE highest authority on
everything appertaining to the niceties of
the French language, to grammar, rhetoric
and poetry, and the publication of the
French classics" y chair in the academy
is the highest ambition of most literary
Frenchmen. The other academies of the
Institute of France are: The Academy of
Inscriptions and Beiles-Lettres, with 30
members; Academy of Sciences, with &c
members; Academy of Fine Arts, with 40
members las follows: painting, Il; sculpt-
IRE, s.; architecture, 8; engraving, 4; mu-
steal composition, g., and Academy of Moral
and Political Science, with 40 members.
All members are elected for life.

CARLISLE NOT A CONFEDERATE.

The New York Sun, few days ago,
mentioned Senator Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, as a presidential possibility, but
that gentleman promptly expressed a
doubt whether the time had come for
the Democrats to select presidential
candidate from any state south of
Mason and Dxon's line. In noting this
the Omaha Republican says "Mr. Car
Isle has good grounds upon which to
base his doubts. 1t would be suicidal
for the Democratic party to nominate
southern man for president, unless he
had been conspicuous for service render
ed the Union cause during the rebellion.
The country is not ready to elect an ex-
Confederate to the presidency yet, and
will not be for many years to come"
The Republicans conclusion is probably
correct as to popular sentiment on this
subject, but it is in error in character
izing Mr.. Carlisle as an Confederate.
Although Democrat, he was not a
southern sympathizer, but remained
loyal subject to the Union throughout.

Bradstreet reports the labor market in
a more disturbed condition than for
many weeks past. The situation in the
coal and building trades has become
more unsettled, while the coke strike is,
as far as may be known, as far from
settlement as ever. AS the interstate
convention Of miners and operators at
PIttsburg on Thursday failed to agree.
the bituminous coal trade is brought
face to face with depressing outlook.
The demand by the miners for an eight
hour day was the main cause of the
dissolution Of the convention. i strike
on May l is predicted to include all the
bituminous coal miners of PENNSYLVANIA,
Ohio, West Virginia. Indiana, and Hi
nois to enforce the eight hour demand.
To illustrate the Importance of the step
it is stated that -, 600 miners will stop
work, directly efecting 100000 people,
and necessarily indirectly concerning
many thousands of others. The result
on general business of such a wide
spread labor trouble could hardly fail to
be serious.
