Written Just in Time.

LONDON, April 23.-About a year aga
Lady Florence Dixie endeavored to extract
from Mr.. Gladstone an expression of opin-
ion in regard to wonen's suffrage. She re-
ceiyed this reply:
DEAR LADY FLoRENcE-The question, not
30 much OF suffrage as of an abolition of all
distinctions as to political and civil duties,
is q very large one. You may rest assured
of two things: First, If I ever attempt to
discuss it shall make the attempt in a seri.
Gus and considerate spirit; second, as it hap
pens, I do not share in the belief that .
change would be favorable to the Tory
party, but rather lean to the opposite
opinion.
No living statesman can be more am-
biguous than the Grand Old Man in speak
ing or writing on any subject upon which
he does not wish positively to commit him.
self. When he decided, six years ago, to
re-establish an Irish Parliament in Dublin,
and was charged, in consequence, with being
q renegade to his political principles, he
had no difficulty in proving by his published
speeches and writings that he had always
been home ruler or something very much
like it.
Lady Dixie Acquainted With Gladstone.
At any rate, some people would have re-
garded the foregoing letter as not unfavor-
able to the conferment Of the parliamentary
franchise upon women. But Lady Florence
Dixie knew Mr. Gladstone better than that,
and she expressed the opinion at the time
that he would either oppose woman suffrage
at the first opportunity or never say another
word on the subject
1t was recently determined by the
woman's suffrage people-unwisely, as they
now sorrowtuIly admit-to force the Grand
Old Man into clear exposition Of his
views, and it was quickly sent to them in
the form of a long letter setting forth argu-
ments against the proposed change, in
crushing form. The letter was published
on Thursday, in pamphlet form, and copy
has been sent to every member of Parlia-
ment, accompanied by whip against the
woman's suffrage bill signed by leading
members of every political section.
The House of Commons bill will be intro
duced next Wednesday by Sir Albert Rol-
let, respectable Tory member, and on the
previous evening 'great demonstrates"
in its favor win take place in st. james
Hall, at which Lady Florence Dixie will
preside.
Gladstone's Hint to Be Taken.
If one bill should become law it would
enfranchise about 1000, 900 women. But in
the face of Mr.. Gladstone's letter it will

these same college graduates hold 81 per

The plan as finally formulated is an in

been vindicated in the elections it ought to
be taught at the University, and the matter
raay yet become a political issue.
The Republican leaders are in sympathy
