Tired of woman.

What she said was this: i am SICK
and tired to death of hearing about
Woman! This somewhat violent express
ion is not quoted here to be defended,
and it does not need contemporary ex-
PLANTATION; it merely indicated the cumur
,lative WEAKNESS of long tired patience.
And it must not be taken to express too
much. Though women are often tired
Of themselves and of each other, and d o
not hesitate Go say SO, this is only al
temporary WEAKNESS and does not at all
express the feeling of a misogyiiist
towards women generally. Indeed this
woman who is quoted would probably
turn with whitening rebuke upon any
man who should say that the modern
world has had about enough of Woman
and would like a rest. And the man
would meekly admit that rest the world
VIII not have, ana rest it does not de-
serve, this side the grave. No, 1t is pro-
gress and not rest that VIC need, and that
must go on, even to the extent of women
forming themselves, into Syndicate,
Woman's Trust, for carrying on business
Independent of the other sex, and dictat-
ing terms of partnership The speaker
was not tired of women but of hearing"
about Woman.
Cannot Woman, she said, be taken for
granted! Why should she assert herself,
or permit herself to be treated as a sepa-
rate class? Why this clamor every time
she does anything, as if it were extraor-
1inary that human being should have
genius or exhibit capacity? Why make
such a cackling. like hen every time
she lays an egg? A man does not ask
consideration or inon1npitv frnp, criti-
cism for anything he does because he is
a man. Why should a. woman? The
whole attitude is undignified, and con-
fession of inferiority that enrages me. II

Secretary Carlisle's board find that
Mr.. Morton's coachman was illegally
brought to this country and ought to be
deported. This is exactly the reverse OF
Judge Lacom bes' finding. 1t remains
to be seen whether the Secretary will
accept the opinion Of a judge of the
United States Court or of the partisan
board which has undoubtedly been in
fuenced by political considerations.
AS Carlisle has penchant for blunder-
ing, the probability is that he will ac-
cep5 the latter.

The first election since the wholesale
expulsion from the legislature of New
foundland has just been held, and has
resulted in the defeat OF the government
candidates. This means that the govern
ment has lost it's majority in the As
sembly, and.must consent to dissolu-
stion and general election. 1t will be
remembered that Sir William Whiteway
and fourteen of his followers in the AS
sembly, including menb ers OF his cabi-
net, were unseated and disqualified from
sitting again in this Parliament by the
courts for bribery in the elections. This
wholesale unseating of Liberals gave
the Conservatives majority, and they
at once organized government and
have so far refused to dissolve Parl1a-
ment. Now they will be Obliged to do
SO aud give the Whitewayites chance
to get back to power-which il the

The Conservatives will make union with
the Dominion of Canada their princinal
issue in the election. and the Dominion
government is said to be ready to quietly
help all it can to that end.

Proving that the Texas cattle fever is
not contagious, or even that there isn't
any such disease nor ever was. will have
very little effect to induce Germany to
take down the bars she has put up
against American cattle. The Texas
cattle fever is merely an excuse for ac-
tion which really springs from some
thing entirely different. Germany has
shut out our beef simply because we
have shut out her beet sugar, and until
we let in the latter she is not likely to
let in the former.

Being peer himself it must have
been no very pleasant task for Lord
Roseberry to join in the CRY OF Down
with the Lords, and announce the ex-
tinction OF the upper house as a legis-
lative body, as one of the prominent
features of the Liberal programme. But
probably the pressure of the, rank and
file OF the party was SO strong that he
had to choose between that and the reslg-
nation of the leadership of the party.
In many ways he is better situated to
lead movement of this kind than a
mere commoner, because he cannot be ac-
cused of prejudice against the nobility,
and of desiring because OF it to strip
them of some of their power. He is in
position SO far as he himself is con-
cerned to make the campaign against the
Lords as movement against body
which has become simply an obstruction
in the pathway of progress, blocking
legislation desired by the people solely
because it may have tendency to abro-
gate some of their power and prestige.
A powerful argument can be made from
this standpoint. 1t is perfectly well
known that the great majority of the
Lords who are entitled to sit in the
upper house are neither statesmen, nor
publicists. Very few of them are capa-
BILE of intelligently considering any
proposition that has to do with govern
ment. The most of them devote what
energy they possess to personal enjoy
ment. and their official duties are so irk-
some to them that they are rarely per-
formed unless some of their own privil-
eyes are in jeopardy. Then they rally
and block the proposed legislation.
If the movement now begun should be
successful in extinguishing the House of
Lords. or in greatly curtailing it's power,
it will be largely because the Lords have
not given to the country that intelligent
service which their position demanded
Of them, and which they were under OBJ
legation to give, and have become simply
a stumbling block in the pathway of
progress
