THE BELGIAN STRIKES.

The strike as means of bringing leg
islators to terms is something of nov
city, but it seems to have >forlSed admit
rably in Belgium. It is about a week
ago that the Parliament refused the de-
mand of the people for universal suf-
frage. and the agitation which has
sprung up and spread during that time
has been powerful enough to compel the
legislative body to almost completely re-
verse its former decision. The bill
passed does not put the people quite on
an equality, since it apparently provides
for plural voting on the part of property
holders, but the concession is great
one and will be followed in time prob
ably by a complete surrender to the
masses of the people.
Belgium has been heretofore mo-
narchical oligarchy. The king is lin
tied monarch responsible to Parliament,
but that body has been chosen by very
small per cent of the Belgian people.
To the great mass of the population all
share in the government has been denied,
either in the way of voting or holding of
flee. Fors some years the people have been
agitating for an extension of the suffrage
to all males of twenty-five years of age
or over, but though Parliament has fire.
quently promised to concede their de-
mand, it has as frequently refused the
performance. Meanwhile the Belgians
have seen universal suffrage conceded in
France and Germany, and very neal
approach to it in England. Naturally
therefore, the intensity of their feeling
on the subject has been increasing until
! it has risen to so high pitch that the
| legislators dared not resist any longer
knowing that to do SO would precipitatt
revolution
Whether the masses of the Belgian
| people are prepared to intelligently use
| the suffrage is question which admits
of grave doubt Socialism is rampant il
the country, and the new electorate viii
be SO overwhelmingly superior in point
| of numbers to the old that the latter car
exercise but little restraining influence
upon them. The circumstances under
which the suffrage has been obtained
will of course tend to make the people
feel that they are invincible and fill theil
heads with exaggerated notions of what
can be accomplished through the gov
ernment

Way to Exterminate wolves.

J. M. Campbell, the most extensive
sheep man in Western Texas, has lost %
per cent of his flock during the past
twelve months. They were all killed by
wolves. He now has $4,000 head of
sheep on his ranch in Valverdo County,
and the wolves continue to kill them.
Over 100 wolves have been killed on his
ranch since January.
Mr.. Campbell tried to get rid of the
pests by poisoning them, but met with
little success. He has now hit upon a
novel plan, and believes he can extermi-
nate every wolf in Western Texas. His
idea is to inoculate them with disease.
In order to do this he trapped ten
wolves about two months ago and peIined
them up with dog which was
badly afflicted with the mango. The
wolves soon caught the disease,
| aud are now thoroughly covered
| with the parasites which produce it
They will be TUNED loose on the ranch
| in few days, and Mr.. Campbell expects
the disease to spread among the wolves
| so rapidly that there will not be one Of
them left in Texas in two years.
| 1t was never known before that wolves
| were susceptible to the mango. They
live together in dens, and the disease
will spread rapidly. 1t is incurable, anc
no animal having it will breed If Mr.
| CampbelPs experiment is success il
| will be worth thousands of dollars to the
| sheep raiserS of Texas

The 10000 souvenir quarter-dollars,
which Congress authorized to be minted
for the Board of Lady Managers of the
Worlds Fair, will be issued, it is expect
ed, by May /. These coins are of pecu-
liar interest for several reasons. In some
respects the Isabella quarter is much
greater novelty than the Columbian half
dollar. as the coins bearing the Spanish
Queens portrait are much more limited
in number. The act OF Congress author
izing their issue only provides for the
minting of $4,000, or 10000 quarters,
hence there is every reason to believe
they will be extremely rare. They are
certain to command the attention of
