A SAD BLOW.

The women suffragists have no
ground to stand upon if they do not
claim that women demand the right to
cast the ballot on an equality with men.
If they abandon the plank of demand,
they stand in the attitude Of saying to
the country that only a few of all
women, though all have equal opportu-
nifty for information and expression of
views, know what they themselves de-
sire, and deem for their greatest good.
On Tuesday the women of Massachu-
sets had perfectly free and ample OPP
pGrtunity to say to the country
whether they wished to be invested
with the suffrage privilege.
The advocates of the women's cause
had made an active. energetic canvass
of the State. They visited every local
ity and made a campaign effort that
was as vigorous, persistent and forci-
ble as was possible. With less than
onc-fourth of the Massachusetts women
then, declaring their intention to vote,
the issue was brought to the ballot box
on Tuesday and the voters of the State
decided by two to one that the question
submitted should be answered in the
negative, namely, rs it expedient to
grant municipal suffrage to women ?''
Of course, had that question been
answered in the affirmative general
suffrage would have followed; it would
have been merely the precursor of I'M
restricted and unlimited woman suf-
frage The submission of the question
carried with it a pledge, in fact, that the
State would abide by the decision, and
IN due time make woman suffrage a
part of the political and social policy
OF the State.
Now, there are in Massachusetts,, or

therefore, really desired the voting priv
ilege. they had it in their power to take
and exercise it. But the question sub
mitted was decided in the negative by
two to one, say the dispatches, and a
majority of over 1900 was cast against
the proposition. 1t is added that in
hardly a town in the State was the
question answered in the affirmative
it must. therefore, be accepted as fact
that the women Of Massachusetts do
not desire the privilege of voting to be
granted to them. What response the
advocates of woman suffrage will make
to this decisive verdict we cannot con-
ceive, except they challenge the intel
ligence of the women of the State and
insist that they do not know what they
want But it is submitted that this i'm

1t ia becoming every day clearer that
the French have made mistake in at
taching the English Cabinet system to a
repub lican form of government. If
France is to be spared frequent political
revolutions. 1t will have to abandon the
responsible Cabinet" idea. and accept
the American system as more in bar
mony with democratic and self-govern-
ing principles. AS it Ia now in France
the legislative department practically die
tates to the Executive the composition OF
the advisers of the President and the
heads Of bureaus, for all of which he is
responsible. 1t is an unrepublican sys-
tenn and cannot endure. 1t is incom-
patible with the independence and the
responsibility of the President, and 1t
opens wide broad door for all kinds of
chioanery. bribery and treachery. The
idea OF President being compelled to
choose a new lot of bureau chiefs every
time a vote in the Chamber is adverse to
the policy of the Executive is. in Ameri-
can eyes, supremacy ridiculous.

CALIFORNIA; leading magazine; indeed,
its only literary magazine, a periodical
of high character and clear perceptions:
If the good people that have done so
good a work against the obscene pictures
and penny-dreadful in art and literature
would only turn their eyes on the columns
of the San Francisco press, they would
discover a state of things that would call
for their earnest condemnation. How
many thousands upon thousands of words
and dozens of drawings the Chronicle,
Examiner and Call have devoted to the
trial of the man Durrant we will not even
waste guess. Suffice to say that for
month we have been glutted with the
history of a bloody crime, which in small
boys and gushing girls eyes has become
of heroism. The intelligent public has
been ignored and the news of the world
sacrificed that the scandal-loving, sensa-
tion-seeking readers may have their fill.
question. 1t is the effect that the nara
ton OF crime always has on young and
the. Police Gazette of New York or the
Police News of London than what APP
pears from DAY to day in the city press re
the Durrant trial, and yet the United
States mails refuse to carry either of
these papers. PurVeyorS of criminal
garbage should be as subject to the law
as the hawker of obscene prints. The de-
voting OF two whole pages a day TO a
CRIME, repeated day after day, illustrated
in every detail as carefully as a church
wedding, magnifies the crime until it be-
comes honorable. We need censors of
the press to make such exhibitions I'M
profitable. A Sunday-school lesson once
week can do little to combat such
broadcast Decentralization.
AT no time has the press of the inte-
rior spoken so harshly of the methods
of the San Francisco newspapers as
does this member of their own house
hold. Yet there is not line in criticism
that is not absolutely just. The one and
only defense of the pernicious methods
which the Overland Monthly handles so
severely is that such publication as is
condemned in the criticism is news.
But it is not; it is filth

JURY REBELLION.
A San Francisco daily contemporary,
In referring TO the recent game law case
In an inferior court of that city. SAYS:

In an inferior court OF that city, says:
A Police Court jury has decided that the
law for the preservation OF game should not
be enforced by acquittlng a poultry dealer
who had confessed to violating the law. The
law went Tor nothing, the jury oata went for
nothing. II WAS the opinion OF the jury that
Wild game ought 10 be slaughtered OH the
face OF the earth at the earliest possible me-
ment. and that no attempt to preserve {
should be made. OF course that is scandal
GUS and barbarous; but II such is puOiic
opinion in California in the year \. ID. 1880,
1t is stronger than the law and the game will

But the verdict OF a hastily summoned

is not the expression of public opinion.
The voice of the people is not heard in
that way. Public opinion forms, as a
rule, slowly, and after considerable de-
bate. Not even the press 10 always its
exponent, for 1t not infrequently hap
pens that the press finds itself opposed to
the express verdict of public opinion.
1t has been said that nothing is more
difficult than to define public opinion. or
to search out its genesis. This is par
tally true, but 1t may be said that pub
lie opinion is that growth of sentiment
