The republican members of the
lower house of congress passed bill
this week to increase the revenues
and prevent deficits. 1t provides for
duty equal to so per cent of the
Mckinley bill on wool, wooden goods
and lumber, and on all other articles
an increase of 10 per cent over the
Wilson bill, with provision that in
no case shall the new rate exceed the
Mckinley rate where it IS higher than
the Wilson bill, nor shall it exceed
the Wilson rate where it is higher
than the Mckinley bill. This bill is
not protective tariff, but is framed
to meet the continual drain on the
national treasury. 1t will be tied up
for several months in the senate, but
will probably pass that body. Its
fate when it reaches Cleveland is al
most as certain as that of dog in

The Equal Suffrage convention opened in
he Unitarian Church yesterday afternoon.
There were number of women and few
men present. The meeting was called to
order by Mrs. B. Lundy Kent, who intro
duced Miss Mary G.. Haig. Miss IIaig then
suggested that a temporary secretary be
selected and Miss Emma Lore was chosen.
The Rev. j. r. Milllgan of the First Presby-
,terian Church led In prayer, and two hymns
were sung
Miss Haig said that the gathering was
purely mass meeting and every one pres
emit IL they were in terested in the meeting,
had right to vcise and take part In the
discussions.
She then spoke on the object OF the asso-
citation. SHE brought greetings, she said,
from five either societies in the state, Kent
and Sussex have one organization each. four
in New Castle county. Meetings had been
held in eight different places.
The agitation of equal suffrage. she said.
had begun Just forty-seyen years ago
It was started by one lone, brave woman,
T3lizaheth Cady Stanton, who called con-
ventlon in a little New York town. Only a
few persons offended. but she kept at the
work AMI tried To make sentiment In a
llttle while she made a convert. who was
great help to her. This was Susan Il. An
thony, and together they went on with the
work
Women, she said. could not realize how
much they owed TO This movement. Many
avenues of making a livelihood were now
opened which were formerly closed. and this
+T-5- due to the work that was begun at that
Dime
The work was at first one of agitation and
net much wassthought of organization. She
believed, however, that the time had at last
arrived when organizations were necessary
The organizations were necessary to bring
about the reform they were working for
Equal suffrage could be obtained in two
ways. 1t was by legislative enactment and
by congressional action. In this state the
best way 10 work is through the constltu-
tional convention. She believed 1t would be
a long time before equal suffrage would be
secured II they were compelled to wait for
congressional atclon. An amendment to
the Constitution would have to be ratified
by three-fourishs OF the states and it would
be dlReult to get this many states to agree
upon anything
The constitution of Delaware, she said
had been framed in 1893. 1t was antiquated
and had been oIrtgroWn. A constitutional
convention to frame a new constitution
would meet on the first Tuesday In Dccem-
ber. 1896 Before that time the believers In
equal suffrage must be thoroughly organ
ize1 in every town in tho state and have
that little Objectionable werd .tnlals'

right OF franchise.

thing toward improving the channel there
and dredging out the shoals until the gov
ernment made an appropriation The
amount now on hand is SO small that the
city Of Philadelphia has been compelled
to help with the work. 1t would cost half
million dollars to dredge out the shoals.
In addition to this the bulkhead would
cost SIS running foot. He saw no use of
building road to the river unless II was
assured that the river front was to be i'm
proved.
Mr.. Garland said that the city could ex-
pect the government to do, nothing until
1t had itself made the Improvement.
Mr. Pratt said that the board was In
Office to build streets and roads anywhere
they were needed aud can build without
causing some other part OF the city to
suffer.
Mr.. Elliott, who came in when the other
members of the cemmittee had concluded,
made short address. in which he made
practical proposition. He proposed that
the department have surveys made of
Christana avenue, Seventh and Fourth
streets and Twelfth street route
When this was completed he proposed that
the committee should do what 1t could to
obtain for the board free of cost to the city
deeds for the beds of these Streets He
also proposed to see what the legal hitch
was in the opening of Seventh street and
TO give the department all of the informa-
tion possible without any work to the mem
bers. He felt sure that most of the prop
erty owners would be willing to deed the
beds of the streets and also to Improve
their property along the river for the sake
of getting the road. When this was done
he proposed that the department should
first improve the route which seemed the
most practicable. Mr.. Elliott's proposition
seemed to impress the members favorably,
but no action will be taken until the mem
bers have had time to consider.
