WOMAN SUFFRAGE

There can be no doubt that the idea
of the expedlency of granting suffrage
to women ia growing with the Ameri-
can people,aud this will be an accom-
plisbed fact in few years. This is
very evident from the prominence
given to this subject in the New York
constitutional convention. 1t was not
surprising that the committee made an
unfavorable report on the question,
but this will neither astonish or dis.
may the thoughtful friends of women.
The right to vote for school officers
will be conceded to women by the
convention, but the right to vote for
constables, aldermen, mayors. legisla-
tors, judges and presidents will be de-
MED. Nevertheless it will follow in
due season.
The remarkable thing IS the number
of high class women who have taken
part In the agitation OF the woman
question. For or against the PROPOSE
tion to grant to woman all the rights
Of suffrage many, if not most, of the
bright, brainy, and we'll known women
of the city and state Of New York
have done valiant service. The women
opposed to suffrage for their sex were
not less well organized or less persist
ent In argument than their suffrage
demanding sisters Indeed, the skill
with which woman's opposition to
woman's participation in political
action was conducted is proof conclu-
sive that the vigor aud shrewdness of
the intellect of woman are sufficient
for all the functions of voter. In
fact, no woman argued as to woman's
unftness The plea of the opposing
women, and they constituted the ma
jori.y, vas not of the un6tness of
women for politics, but of the unfit
ness of politics for women. They
said, in effect, "a large number, the
greater number, of us don't want the
right of suffrage; we won't use it if
you give il to u.s." The committee of
the convention has complied with the
wishes of the majority
Still the minority of woman suffra-
gists is much stronger minority than it
was two years ago, and promises yearly
to grow stronger. Women who few
years ago looked with contempt upon
their advanced" sisters are nov found
participating in their councils and
working harmoniously with them. The
women's congress and the women
building at the great Colamb bian Ex-
position were object lessonslons the SIZE
and quality of woman's brain. The, !,
fitness of woman as voter no longer
Is denied; the question has narrowed
down to the willingness of woman to
become voter. In New York it ap-
pears that q considerable majority of
the women do not want to become
voters. 1t may not be thus when the
next constitutional convention assem-
bles, nor do we believe that it will.

Now comes the bicycle for four, and God only
knows what the next machine will be intended
for. In fact Ii would not be at all surprising to
see trains of ears pulled over the lines by
wheelmen mounted on bicycles. The machine
which is built for four is unqueStionably the
greatest novelty which the cycling fraternity
OF New York, says the World, has 10 offer at the
present lime. Drivers on the various Harlem
roadways know it well, for every evening it
may be seen under swift propulsion Dy four
pairs of stout legs, teuratiyely running away
from all the single-seated specimens on the
road.
The four-seated bicycle or "quad," as it is
called, is the production OF IA Harlem firm.
There are but three "Quads" in existence but
this one was he first of its class. 1t is used for
pacing" and cycling men say it fills the bill
better than anything yet devised.
All the crack cyclists have used 1t for this
purpose. The theory OF pacing is that the more
faster be viii be able To go. The pacing blcy-
Gle sets a swift pace along the road and the
racer rides just behind 1t. The first bicycle GO
