Then, as TO the armor. we ind that the
HARVEY experimenting process has
already led to reductions In the thickness
OF plates. The side armor OF the Iowa is re-
duced 70 IA inches. and this saving Of
weight has allowed the water-llne belt to be
one-iourth longer than in the Indiana class,
and also the normal coal supply TO be 200
tons greater. thus giving much greater
radius OF action. It is true that some OF
our future battle ships or harbor defenders
may carry maximum armor exceeding IS
inches in thickness; but no such ship has
yet been authorized or planned for our
navy, and accordingly wo cannot now ex-
pect thicker plates for practical use.

Feminine Opposition to Woman suf-
frage.

A movement has been organized among
women OF Brooklyn to protest against
woman suffrage. for reasons explained In an
address to the Constitutional Convention.
for which signatures will be sought by wide
circulation.
These reasons are summed up In the
statement that as the suffrage is a duty
rather than privilege. and as 1t involves
logically the holding of office. it would i'm
pose on women burden which they ought
not to be asked to bear. and which they
cannot bear without neglecting other duties
more important to society.
This is. unquestionably. reasonable OBJ
lection. and. without doubt. it has been
made and still is made by many OF the wo-
men OF the State. Until within very short
time 1t has been the prevailing feminine
sentiment. the women expressing any de-
sire for the suffrage having been only
small number whose long agitation for
political equality with men was regarded
by the rest with aversion. or total
indifference. Only since the election OF
the Constitutional Convention has the
subject received the favorable attention
OF any considerable body OF women who
can be said to represent any general and
conservative feminine sentiment. Before.
there was no Justification for thinking seri-
ously Of the innovation. but now the petit
lions for the suffrage which will come be-
fore the Constitutional Convention. will ex-
press the wishes Of SO great number OF
the intelligent women OF the State that they
will cause the question TO be debated In that
body with gravity and thoroughness.
Such protest as that made by those
Brooklyn women will also carry great
weight. for II is founded on the reasons for
which women are debarred from the suf-
frage In the Constitution as It is; and. OF
course. the burden Of proving that they are
unsound and unnecessary rests ON the
other side. Opposition TO the proposed
change. therefore, will. in the nature
OF things. be more effective than
its advocacy, il it comes from women sum
GENTLY numerous to indicate that they ex-
press a wide feminine sentiment. II will be
much easier TO defeat woman suffrage in
the Convention than TO induce the delegates
to vote for an innovation so radical
that 1t amounts 10 political revolution.
Feminine opposition Is. accordingly. the
danger OF which the woman suffragists
have reason TO be most afraid. II they
cannot show to the Convention that the
preponderanee Of the most representa-
tive feminine sentiment is with them, and
II they cannot overcome the enmity OF
women they will not succeed. II they eau
present a united front they will find COM
paratiyely little hostility among men.
The suffrage imposes a duty on the cltl-
zen. 1t makes him q partner in the bust
ness Of the State. and II be fails to exercise

laid on him. There IL no question about
that II women say that the weight Of
their domestic obligations is too great to
permit them to carry the additional load Of
political duties. so that perforce they must
neglect the performance Of these latter,
their protest is based on grounds which are
important. It is true that the answer might
be made that the suffrage is not conferred
for the advantage OF the individual citizen,
but for the advantage Of the State, and that
private convenience and even desire
must be subordlnated to the public In
terests. II IL Is for the welfare OF the
State that the duty OF the franchise

ought, Of course. to share It with men; but

II, then. this Brooklyn movement shall
extend and become large, II will be the most
serious obstacle TO woman suffrage which
has yet arisen. That innovation and that po-
litical revolution cnn be prevented only by
the opposition OF women themselves. II
women are willing to undertake and to dis
charge the duty OF voting. they can have
It at the hands Of men; but II in great
numbers they resent Its imposition as an
unjust hardship. men will not compel them
to submit to IL.

time In the pending debate is reached he will

amendment will be carried. hut does not doubt

A Ponnlist Triumnhi

As there, Is nothing 80 instructive as
truth. let us have IL OF the WILSON bill.
the unerected monument to Democratic
subversion and Populistic success.
What honest subscriber to the Democratic
platform OF 1892 can deny the truth Of the
Courier Journals statement that the Tariff
bill. differing as IL stands to-day in no es-
sential principle from the fraud as 1t came
fresh from the hands OF the Administra-
tlon's first agent, WILLIAM L. WILSON, "is
a measure OF Democratic qualification. a
finished product OF ignorance, cowardice.
and corruption"2
What sincere believer in the unconstltu-
tionallty of protection can dispute the criti-
cism passed upon the WILSON bill by the
81. Louis Republic. tariff reformer equal
in standing to the Co1fer-.Journdl. that 1t
is " feeble compromise with the encroach-
ing robbery the platform took by the throat
with strong hands"2 1t Is natural to hear
from this same source OF conviction and sim
certify that II the WILSON bill were pro-
posed as permanent adjustment be-
tween the people and the favorites
to whom the peoples property has
been going without remuneration. the
Missouri Democracy would rather drown
it like a thing Of uncomfortable deformity
and wait until tariff for revenue could be
passed. II the cost were century's battle
with the forces OF monopoly"
The WILSON bill has not even the virtue OF
endurance. 1t Is but preliminary to more
and greater disturbance to come. In fact.
the only thing in 1t that stands out clear in
principle and with the promise OF stability.
is the Populist income tax. The income
tax" says that fiery halfpopulized tariff
reformer OF Indiana. the indianapolis Sen
tinel "hns come to stay"
II the WILSON bill passes. the Popullsts
alone can shout victory. By political
blunder born Of treachery. but unexam-
pied in the extent OF its powers for revolu-
ton, the income tax has been tackled on by
the Administration to the programme of the
Democratic party; and now that 1t is there,
the personal issue of the White House Is
held up as threat against all consid-
GRAFTON Of party principle. While the
screws OF patronage are being frightened
to the last turn TO force the Democratic
party to degrade and corrupt itself for the
Presidents personal benefit. there Is an
issue at stake vastly greater than that which
opposes the prestige OF an Executive to the
honor OF his party: 1t is the preservation

tions against the frenZied socialism OF the

The main argument In queer apology
for the income tax. submitted to The SuY,
turns out to be pretty conclusive explana-
ton OF Its unsoundness:

applies to cigar runs. OF through the whole

The tail OF this remarkable plea contains a
sting OF truth for Its author. Under the Amer
lean rules tho principle that applies to . cigar
runs truly through the whole social fabric.
When man stands before the cigar counter

cigar merchant never asks whether his

crat or Populist. He pays his money and gets
his cigar. No money. no cigar. And It could
not be otherwise in any free country. In the
matter OF paying taxes or Of buying or selling
goods all men must have equal rights.

Senator Gray's Funny Strike Against Writ.
ten Speeches.

WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator Gray OF Del
aware has given notice that he will move for
new rule in the Senate TO the effect that there
shall be no written speeches read or pro-
nounced In that body. and that all speeches
must be sxtemporaneous or memorized. What
can be said In favor OF such a rule. 1t Is hard TO
conjecture. The benefits OF the practice Of
writing speeches. which has grown with the
facilities OF typswriting and the use OF the
graphophone, have been very great. although
the Delaware Senator Is unable to see the
Most OF the Senators who are capable Of pro-
ducinG really able speeches prefer to write them

though wearisome to the Senate. to talk right
on. sometimes repeating over and over what
they have before said. The experience OF the
present Congress suggests with greater force
a rule requiring all set speeches to be writ

teal sense and value In such q rule. Curiosity
is expressed as to the reasons which the Del
aware Senator will give for his novel rule.
