NOTES AND QUERIES


Do you think the article called The Case of
Woman" by Mr.. Robert Grant in the October
scribner's fairly good presentation of the
case? C.
Robert Grant in The Case Of Wo-
man" in the October Scribners tries to
relate the trouble to the readers OF that
magazine as far as it has gone. as well
as to predict what to expect in the
future. Mr.. Grants style is easy, Joe
ular, so jocular, that it is difficult to dis
agree with him without appearing
cranky. He disarms feminine suspicion
in the first paragraph by saying that
"a great many men, who are sane and
reasonable n other matters, allow them
selves, on the slightest provocation. to
be worked up INTO fever over the as
pirations of woman. They decline to
listen to argument, grow red in the
face and saw the air with their hands.
if they do not pound on the table. to ex-
press their views on the subject-which
by the way are as out Of date and old
fashioned as pine tree shilling.
They confront the problem of woman's
emancipation AS though it were just
being preached instead of in the throes
Of delivery"
Perhaps it is not possible for a man
to treat the new woman subject serious
ly and without condescension. In some
aspects she is absurd. She lis a great
boon TO the comic papers which, since
her advent, have given the mother-in-
law and the boarding house a rest

in spite Of painful ridicule and opposi-
ton. She is going onward and upward
even il men saw the air and ..holler"
when they converse about her. Her
entrance into politics is certain. She
has taken root in the business world
and is spreading and growing like
green bay tree. In spite of her proven
ability to direct affairs Mr.. GRAFT says
that he. for one, before the right Of
suffrage is bestowed upon her, would
like to be convinced that she lie really
earnest minded" IT seems to me this is
beside the question. Women do not ask
for the ballot because they think it will
benefit humanity, but because they are
individuals in the compact called the

pay their taxes and are unrepresented.
II there is no reason for a property or
educational qualification for the suffrage
there is still less for a sex qualification.
Mr.. Grant is a finished writer. / feel
when he is writing Of the sex to which
l have the honor to belong that he
makes me a long, sweeping, slightly
sarcastic bow. He is polite as courtier

BY THE WAY


The triennial convention OF the Pro
testant Episcopal church is now in
session in Minneapolis. Lately it has
been proposed to change the name cf
the church to the Holy Catholic church
and il is tine intention to discuss this
proposed change nj tho convention. l
asked Rev. John Hewitt for his opinion
on the proposition and he made the
following reply:
As member Of the general conven-
ton OF 1886 when the question came up
l voted against change on the ground
that it was inexpedient. Since that
time the desire for a thorough revision
OF the constitution OF the church has
grown so strong that it has been de-
cided to undertake IT at this general
convention. 1t is therefore convenient
time to consider change OF the name
OF the church. Then again alongside Il
this. interest in the subject OF church
unity has become very great and very
general. was one OF those who helped
to organize the Church Unity Society
in 1886 which brought about that fam
Gus declaration OF principles by our
House OF Bishops that year on the basis
OF which it was thought church unity
might be reached, and which other
Christian bodies have had under serious
consideration. These facts have in
fiuenced me to believe that the proper
time has come to consider q change OF
name. / think the church ought to
have a name which will more accurate
ly express its status in this country
than that it now has. l prefer The
American Episcopal Church" because
the word american" describes its
habitat, and the word Episcopal" des-
cribes the scriptura! and historic form
OF government as distinguished from
other bodies in this country which are
recognized as churches. At time when
church unity is in the ascendant and
dogma or non essential doctrine is on
the decline, it is not well to wear a cap
feathered with protests. The appella-
ton OF protestant was assumed at
time when the Roman Catholic church
was a state church Papal denomination
was irksome, and subversive OF civil and
religious rights. In this country the
Roman Catholic church stands upon an
equal footing with all other religious
bodies. and to call ourselves professionals
AS being opposed to that church is no
more necessary or reasonable than to
call ourselves professionals because in
certain matters We are opposed to other
churches. 1t is time for every church
which can show clearly that it requires
acceptance OF those articles of faith only
which the first six general councils OF
the church require, and that it has re
tanned in continuous succession the
form OF church government which ex-
listed at the first, to drop all appellations
which d d not characterize the primitive
church. l am therefore in favor OF
dropping from our name the word pro
testant'."

GOLDBUG LUNACY.

We are constantly being told by
goldbug lunatics that there is an abun-
dance of money in circulation in this
country and that there is no need of an
increase. We are reminded that it is
perfectly easy to get money if we have
anything to sell. Recently these s4me
parasites have been telling us of the
unlimited British capital available for
investment in this country as soon as
our financial policy has been definite "
settled upon a sound" basis; but that
it is nov being withheld until they are
satisfied that we are not going to adopt
the policy of free coinage of silver.
Now think of the absurdities involved
in these claims:
l If we have an abundance of money
IN this country what do we want of
British capitaI2
2 Admitting, for arguments sake,
that other absurdity, that we must
rely solely upon scarce and costly
metals for money material, then think
OF these other facts: The United States
is the largest producer of gold and ell
YER of any country in the world; yet
we exclude silver from coinage in order
to induce British capital to come here
for investment that we may enjoy the
glorious privilege of paying interest on
it. Verify we are a nation of seventy
millions of people, mostly fools.-To
peka Advocate.

WHO WILL UNTANGLE TH1s7

There is likely to be another Owe
production of corn this year. Talk
ing with a Kansas man last Saturday
who expects to buy corn the coming
fall. he remarked that he had already
been solicited to contract it at Is cents
per bu shell but that he declined. He
fnrther stated that he could contract
for any amount of it now at II cents,
but he believed it would be lower than
that. So it goes; when people complain
of hard times and a scarcity of money
thew are told that there is an abund-
ance of money if they only had some
thing to sell for it. When they have
something to sell, it is not worth any
thing, and they are told that it's
worthlessness is owing to an overpro-
duction of it. How are the people to
accommodate themselves to such cir
cumstances so as to ''catch on" to a
little of that prosperity that is so
abundant everywhere-or is just going
to be?-Topeka Advocate.

There is no need to talk to some men.

P. S-Since writing the above l. see
one man was brave enough to lnvelgn
against the abuses of the money power
in the Christian Advocate the Metn-
odist organ in this State, n tnls
writer states that other organs IN
other parts of the Union nave
done the same. This writer was a
brave conscientious man. For some
reason to us, the editors or
that paper repudiated the responsloll
itv of the article. Perhaps it was on
ccount of the notion succeeding now
among denominational journals, that
they have nought to do with the sins
of government, Of parties, of particu-
lar classes of people taken as a class.
If this be true they are cut off from
all censure for the liquor traffic, gam
blers, etc etc Ia the shyness of the
latter day ministry towards hurting
some Influential mans feelings they
have forgotten that the high commits
sion of the ancient prophets was to in
weigh and call alou1 against the sins
Of the governments, and Christ him
s 9lf inveighed against the Scribes and
Pnarisees, no less political parties than
religious sects. During the revolution
the gospel ministry were not so touch
Gus, they were brave and Outspoken.
Let me tell them something, that the
people will lose respect for
that ministry who, either from cow
ardice or sordid interest, inveigh
nightly against avarice and COM
munism, and run shy Of the weightier
matters of the laws of this country and
the administration thereof. They can
talk of the liquor traffic and dare not
say one word against the robbery of
the money power. They a talk of
gambling dens and houses of prosti u
tion, but cannot say one word against
the immortality of Congress and of
bought legislation, bought papers and
bought party service. w. r L.
