The Injustice of Woman.

Hampstead, l., l.. throws loaded
bomb into the camp of those inconsist-

called woman's progress who are, in
individual cases, the last to give wo-

the country are pretty nearly unanimous

women to extend friendly aid TO such un-

force of the foregoing, If woman is to

WRITING TO Chauucey +. Black,
President Cleveland almost plaintively
protfers this admonition to David Ben
nett Hill: "Fealty to party organiza-
tion demands the subordination of in
dividual advantages and wishes, and
the putting aside of petty and ignoble
jealousies and chickering's. when party
principles and party integrity and party
existence are at stake" This is the
first public intimation Mr. Cleveland
has made that he is getting frightened.
But the information embodied between
tho foregoing lines is enough to make
up for all past taciturnity..
