this clear voice of the people is heard,
legislatures and courts must obey"
The outrageous proposition to
prevent the "voice of the people"
from being heard on this question by
enioining the county clerks from
putting the amendment on their
tickets, is a piece of catholicism
that ought to make every American
cheek red with shame, and it ought
to open the eyes of the men who be-
lieve in human rights to the TACT
that the disfranchisement of women
vitiates the sense of public justice
in this people and it shouth stimu-
late the friends of woman's enfran-
chisement to vigilance.

In letter which Mrs. Lease
writes from Topeka, cancelling an
engagement to speak in New York,
she says: ri am physically wreck
ed for this season /" There is some.
thing deeply pathetic in this admis.
sion There is no doubt that it is
the declaration of a WORKOUT and
exhausted woman who has over
estimated her strength. The sue
cess of Mrs. Lease as public
orator is something quite phenome-
nal. She vaulted into prominence
from comparative obscurity, and she
has enjoyed unique and remark
able career The adulation which
she received was grateful to her,
and her engagements on the plat
form and in the political arena were
highly profitable in a pecuniary
way. They enabled her to travel
and see the world, and to meet with
bright and interesting people. The
new realm of activity to which her
talents introduced her was so invit-
ing that she accepted every invita-
ton which she received to talk and
to lecture. But she has pursued the
allurements of fame and notoriety at
a mournful cost. She has become
an invalid from over.work, anC rest,
which is the only remedy that can
restore her, will be to woman like
Mrs. Lease an affection hard to
bear. The experience of Mrs. Lease
ought to prove instructive to women
who are yearning for "career. -

The Star covered over great

naught, for, in another column |

completely shattered, and who is

thereof. Indeed, scarcely a day

will live to do valiant service for
humanity long after many of the

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The report OF the Sanitary SupeIin-
tendent to President Wilson. OF the
Board Of Health. shows that the
health Uf New York Is In very
satisfactory condition. While the popu-
lation II the city has increased probably
sixty hive thousand since last year. the
deaths this year. during the first sin
months, are between two and three
thousand less than during the CORE
spending period OF 1897.
At the same time the tenement house
ropuls tiun has increased over one hum
died thousand this year, while there has
been a decrease in the dea th-rate In
teneinrnis from "@.77 per thousand TO
- 10. rhe decrease in infant mortality
under five years OF age IL also marked
and significant.
No doubt the decreased dea th-rate Is
due In great measure. to the improve
ment in the water supply through the
measures OF purfication adopted, and 10
the good work of the Board OF Health
among the tenement houses. Z" The
Evening World may Justly claim that
the decrease In the deaths OF infants is,
I'm u very great degree. due TO the excel
lent work Of the faithful doctors OF the
Sick Babies Fund, which this year has
already grown above the trn-thonsahd-
dollar mark

THE BRIDGE ENGINEERS.

The distinguished engineers appointed
b. President Cleveland to decide upon
the span OF the New York and New
Jersey bridge have been in session In
New York for several days and have
been experimenting tn. important
work OF boring for the foundation OF
the piers.
The success OF the great enterprise
depends in great measure on the de-
cision to be reached by the engineers.
With practicable span that will not
in the slightest degree interfere with
navigation. the bridge will he promptly
built.
The engineers OF the Commission are
not only distinguished In their profess
sion, but are men OF sound sense. They
know the vast Importance OF the bridge
to the future tratfic OF the whole CON
tineut, and they are not OF ~ character
TO let theories or techntcalities stand In
the way of desirable practical results.
Capital waits ready TO build the bridge
just as soon as the result OF the de-
alterations Of the engineers Is made
known. The new Rapid Transit Com
mission will, OF course, conform its
plans to the future OF the bridge so that
there may be proper connections with
all its approaches.
