Il the Day Of Woman Suffrage Near at
Hand?

Tho women OF Kansas have demonstrates
that they are both willing to vote and caps-
BILE OF voting intellIgently according to their
political predictions.
Their capacity for performing the mechan-
ical part Of voting did not need tho proof OF
trial. OF course. women can go through
that process as well as men. Perhaps they
sre wen more likely thun men to have their
wits about them under such circumstances.
Certainly thoy are more attentive to details
than men. and more obsorvant OF them.
After they are once instructed In the vexa-
tious requirements OF the new-fanglcd
Australian system OF ballotipg. as 1t Is
called. probably they will manage 1t less
bungllngly than many masculine voters.
II seems. too. that the presence OF wo-
men at tho pills tended to give unusual
order and decorum to the Kansas munic-
ipal elections. That was n consequence
which might nave been assumed in adj
vance. American men arc distinguished
Tor their courtesy to women. Here In New
York. however. the elections are already so
completely orderly that they could not be
made any more decorous by the voting Of
women. The men. who stand In line at the
polls waiting to get In their ballots. are as
we'll behaved as they would be In a church
or q court room. The day Of an election
no matter how fiercely contested. Is always
remarkable for Its sobriety n seriousness.

place In New York without finding anything

association with men would not provoke
remark on the ground hat such publicity
IL unfeminine. In these days women are
entering into 30 many empioyments sid
by side with men. that they are encountered
in all the busy parts Of the town. In the
streets. and In Offices and counting rooms.
Their presence nc longer attracts particu-
lar observation. so frequent Is 1t. II lie
taken Ms q matter Of courso: and IL they
were admitted to the suffrage. they would
be az free from annoyance at the polls.
The great fact demonstrates in Kansas
on Tuesday lie that the women there want
to vote; that they are willing to bear the
burden Of exercising the privilege OF the
suffrage Whenever 1t is granted them. They
manifested a very keen interest In the cleo
ton and were eager to go TO tho polls. They
were not brought out by my religious con-
troversy. such as has sometimes stirred
Boston women TO exercise their right OF
voting for school officers: and there does
not seem to have been any particular moral
question involved. Nor did they come out
to vote for women candidates. for the most
conspicuous OF these were beaten. They
also voted conservatively, for the Populist
candidates were generally defeated. They
were not unnecessarily timid In their exer-
else OF their political privilege. for they did
not hesitate to el%ectioneer about the polls.
The only special inducement they had for
voting was that their willingness to exer-
else the franchise was under test at these
elections. Complete suffrage has
been delayed In Kansas. as 1t has been de-
layed everywhere else in the Union. because
OF the Indications afforded by the past use OF
the partial suffrage granted to m In
many States. that they do not care enough
for voting to take the trouble to 60 to the
polls. Hence the prospect Of getting full
political equality with men melted the
Kansas women to prove on Tuesday that
they afe ready 70 discharge the political
duty Of voting.
This Is very significant. It indicates that
at least a very great part Of the Kansas
women want the franchise on the same
terms as men havo 1t. II the wone OF
the Union generally are OF that mind, and
whenever they make it evident that such Is
their sentiment. woman suffrage will come
without further delay. AS soon as women
want to vote. they will be allowed to vote.
They lave only to indicate their desire. to
AVE 1t gratified.
The prospect that suffrage will
become q question Of practical politics Mt
an early day. has grown clearer since Tues
day. At some time or other women are
bound to share with men the responsibility
Of government by universal suffrage: and
that time may be near at hand.

What glory Commissioner BRENNAN can
win for himself by keeping the streets Of the
city clean and in the best order! II he does
his business he will surely arouse the enthu-
siasm Of the citizens. and can cheerfully look
forward to the time when he may be put up as
o candidate for the office Of Mayor OF the city.
and to q later time when he may be elected
Governor OF the State. and to q still later time
when no may be q member OF a Democratic
Presidents Cabinet, or Ambassador to Eng
land. France. Germany. Italy. or Austria.
There can be no honor too great. no Office too
high. for o man who performs his whole duty
as an official OF the city OF New \ ork.
But how great the discredit which Mr.
BRENNAN will suffer II he fail to render such
an account Of his Commission ership as We
have a right to expect from him. BY looking
over the municipal records o: tho past fifty
years. he can learn how incompetent function
aries have fallen and have suffered.
Mayor GILRoY has given orders to the Com
missioner. and has warned him that he will
be hold responsible for the condition OF tho

Mayors words.
Commissioner BRENNAN Is doing pretty well
just now. He must do better yet. and must do
his best all the time. II his best Is not as
good as 1t ought TO BIZ. he will have to look for
another Job long before this year Is out.
