Breckenridge, Press Censor.

The Hon. WILLIAM CAMPBELL PRESTON
BRECKENRIDGE seems to divide his time Inn
partially between snivelling at his own
beautiful penitential frame OF mind and
abusing the Court before which his case
was tried and the. press that reported his
trial. He doesn't dare to abuse the Court.
save by indirection. but against the press
he raves with tho usual virulence OF ex-
posed humbugs. A reporter OF the Louis
rifle C6urier-JouyHal describes him "as
Strengthening himself up to his fullest
height"-we are glad to learn that the
Colonel can be straight-and uttering this:
IF you will pardon me. will say tina. my expert
with newspaper men during the past two months
leads me to believe that they do not know to tell
tue truth"
In his Apologize at Lexington he is report
ed as speaking OF the press as contempt
ble." and as excepting those who belong to It
from that general and gracious forgiveness
which he bestowed upon the rest of man
kind. calling upon heaven. of course. as II
he were on visiting terms with it.
The press has done nothing against Mr.
BRECKENRIDGE except to tell the truth about
him. Even il 1t had not told the truth, it
would not become a man who practised
lying and deceit for ten years. registering
under false names. lying to his friends and
his family. trying to lie and sneak out of
his obligations to his paramount would
not become such man to reprove untruth.
Mr.. BRECKIsRIDdE is too censorious for a
person in his plight. He forgets that no Is
on the stool OF penltence. not in the pulpit.
He should try to make his repentance seem
deep and genuine. at least until after cleo
ton day. He should remember that he is
the prisoner in the dock asking for mercy
not the Judge, severe and fulminAnt.
Mr.. BRRCKNRIDGE's acting seems to
lack FEASIBILITY. He must beware not to
reveal in his rolling and contrite eye any
"reminiscences OF a satyr leer; and after
eonfessing in the church and beating his
breast and trying TO win the brethren. he
ought not 10 let his angry passions rise
against the press. He can regard the press.
il he chooses. as part OF what he calls his
atonement. II 1t inhicts pain upon him. he
can revel in the pain with that godly salts
faction which he felt in making affecting
virtuous homilies after he had been toying
with NERRA's hair.
Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE has friends who seem
to regard his whining and whImpeFing and
posturing and queer dts Of self-exaltation
and establishment and silyer-washed
morality aud onion-pathos. as sublime. II
he has one friend OF sense that friend
should say to him at once; WILLIE.
don't mind your being a good deal Of a ras-
cal. but do wish you wouldn't be an ass"

Women. Part In Affair. or state.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUS-.Sr: Apropos
OF tho discussion OF tho woman suffragist
movement. now SO graphically and interest
ingly reported in TaE Sun. 1t might be OF in
terest to all concerned to know that while the
present movement has some new features In
IL, the right Of women to take part in affairs Of
State was conceded them some centuries ago
find in JenninGs's Anecdotes OF the British
Parliament that women sat in council with the
Saxon Tritas. and that in the great council at
Beconceid, 4. ID. bJt. ADDRESSES sat and dcliber-
ated. and Ave of them signed the decree Of
the council along with the King Bishops and
mobiles; In the reign q Henry Ill. 1926 1865.
and of Edward l.. l275-13OI. four ahbesses
were summoned to Parliament viz. Shaftes-
bury Berking. st Mary of Winchester. and OF
Milton. Also. that In the thirty-ffth year Of the
reign OF Edward ILL.,. 1851. the Countssses OF
Norfolk. Ormond. March. Pembroke. oxford.
and Athol were summoned to Parliament.
In view OF these facts see no reason why. II
women were admitted Into the councils Of
Kings a good many centuries ago. they should
be held in:apable OF taking partin the councils

Every one must recall the circumstances Of
popular excitement amid which several dog
bitten boys from New Jersey were sent to Paris
for treatment few years ago.
Even II the PAsTsuR system OF incubation
had done no other good II would certainly de-
serve much credit for having allayed the pop-
ular fear Of hydrophobia. When that disease
was looked upon as utterly incurabls the
nervous terror inspired by the bite OF dog
supposed to be rabid was sometimes as fatal
In it's effects as the actual malady would have
been. But as all physicians know. the hope
and expectation Of recovery are In themselves
a curative agent OF marvellous potency.
