Woman suffrage and "The Kingdom

Woman Suffrage and ''The Kingdom"
The person with a 40! here, To-!

humanity is a shortsighted and a tire
some person to meet. Even the right
Of woman to the exercise Of outrage
could be pushed with pilennial ar
guments that would weaken its legit-
innate claims.
No sensible advocate Of Woman
suffrage supposes that the ballot in
her hands would right all the wrongs
OF human society. What this ballot
will do will depend on what woman
is; and every woman suffragist knows
and gladly knows that the best argu-
ment for woman's enfranchisement is
the ever more apparent dignity. intel
ligence and moral weight Of woman
herself. 1t is perfectly true that abb
'stract justice would give to a woman,
good or bad, the same right Of self
government that it gives to q man
good or bad; but this argument has
not warm blood in it: it cannot appeal
to US rs does that other conviction
that in womanhood there is a vast
treasure Of moral force which is
]grievously needed i'll our attempts at
popular government, but which moral
force is denied expression in the
laws which govern men and women
alike. Because of what woman Is
and is becoming, the world cannot
afford to deny itself the great REIN
forcement she waits to give whatso-
v e. things are true and Just and of
good report.
@She will make mistakes?" Let
her. 1t this, too, a privilege sacred to
man?
But, perhaps, she will not make so
many Of so great mistakes. Those
who have toiled longest and most
bravely for this right of woman are
coming at last to be known as wom-
anly women, Is friends Of woman's

sides Of her life, They say to the
woman in medicine, i'll the ministry,
in the law or other profession ortrade:
AYou are pleading woman's cause by
every day of faithful, successful
work" They say to women who, in
associated ways. are fostering their
W intellectual life or giving life
more abundantly to the ignorant. the
hungry or the vicious: "God prosper
you. BY so much as you help here,
you will help elsewhere by and by"
They say to the woman in the kitch-
en- and the nursery: "By SO much as
you are a faithful housewife and a
wise and loving mother, you gre fit
ting yourself for the exercise of those

Those who to-day make the greatest

know that woman can fulfill these
claims only through worth of woman

will tell you of their sufferings under Spain,
and OF their hopes under freedom and self
government. For twenty months they
have been out of the Spanish yoke, and they
are determined to break it so that 1t can
never again be put upon their necks.
As they have provided for self-govern-
ment In the time of war, so, we believe, will
they provide for it in the time of peace,
when Spain shall be driven beyond seas.
The art OF governing themselves has been
well learned in our time by these heroic
and revolutionary Cubans.
Yet we have been told that our Govern
ment should, "in concert with the united
powers OF Europe" undertake to arrange
matters in Cuba for the Cubans until the

The Naval Parade.

The great naval parade which is to take
place at this port on Saturday evening next,
the gath, promises to be one of the most
notable and effective demonstrations in the
history Of our political campaigning
The effort of the very capable committee
in charge of the arrangements is to make it
plain to the eye and the understanding Of
the whole people that the great commercial
interests Of New York are united and enthu-
siastic in their devotion to honesty and
their detestation of Reputation. Already
more than one hundred vessels have
volunteered to take part in the parade,
and it is expected that on the water front all
along the route, ten miles in length, private
liberality will contribute to the briliancy
of the demonstration by n display of fire
works. TIE illumination of the docks is
also requested by the committee, and ves-
sells having electric lights are invited to dis
play them generally. All vessels in the
port are expected to fly their colors; and
the number of them actually taking part in
the parade is likely to be twice as many as
those which already have volunteered
1t will be unique and most significant
demonstration, and all ship owners and
everybody interested in the commerce Of
New York should assist to the utmost in
making it memorable.

We publish this morning one of Mr..
LESLIE j. PERRY's interesting chapters in the
history OF the civil war. 1t relates to Gen. SHER
MANS famous compact with Gen. joe JOHNS
ton, in which thoy undertook to settle some of
the political issues OF the war, and which tho
Administration at Washington decisively an
nulled soon as It was reported. We notice It
hero only for the purpose Of once moro cor
rectlng a statement which has gained a good
deal OF publicity. avcrrinR that at tho great
review in Washington Just before the
hnal dlsbandment OF the armies, Mr..
STANTON offered to shake hands with
Gen. SHERMAN, and that, when he held out his
hand, SHERMAN refused to take II. This story
10 emphaticnlly not true. We sat behind Secre-
tary STANTON on that occasion. and narrowly
observed everything that happened. Gen. SBER-
MAN had to pass Immediately In front OF tho
Secretary In order to gain the place assigned for
him. As SHERMAN approached, the Secretary
made no motion to offer his hand or to exchange
salutattons In any manner; and, as he passed,
merely made q slight forward motion Of his
head. equivalent, perhaps. to a quarter Of bow.
The impression that on that occasion SHERMAN
"endeavored to publicly insult and humiliate"
Mr.. STANTON is entirely erroneous.

Samples.

Ono can know the froe.silver party and
the honest-money party by their friends.
Conspicuous among the supporters OF the
honest payment of debts and Of public order
are the candidate, WILLIAM MCKINLEY, for
many years prominent in public life and
while in Congress in the front rank,
THOMAS BRACKETT REED, Speaker Of
the national House Of Representatives;
LEVI PARSONS MORTON, the chief of whose
long series of honors has been the Vice-Pres-
idency OF the United States; and the Demo
crat, DANIEL E. SIcKLEs. Que Of the most
gallant commanders of the civil war for the
preservation of the Union.
We name, without prejudice to thousands
of other able and devoted colleagues, these
four typical souud-money champions only,
for the reason that the free-silver canvass
presents four who, in fitness to represent
the Chicago platform, rise above COM
parison with all rivals.
First there is the Boy Candidate, BRYAN,
man who at no period of his life has won
any distinction or notoriety, except what
he could gain from his tongue; a loquacious
and incendiary demaRogue now attempting
to fill the minds of all who will hear him
with class hatred and sectional prejudice,
and an unblushinR supporter of the Chicago
platform. Next in Importance to BRYAN,
taking the BRYAN platform rs chart for
political guidance, is EUGENE V. DEBs, the
half-crazy leader OF one Of the bloodiest and
wickedest riots which ever disgraced the
country, and an enthusiastic supporter Of
the Chicago platform, because in that is
contained his formal glorification. Next to
DEBs is JOHN p. ALTGELD of Illinois. the
wolf, as Gen. SICKLEs calls him, who has
proved that as between law and anarchists he
prefers anarchists. And lastly, BENJAMIN r.
TILLMAN of South Carolina, Populist
blatherskite, whose frantic and abusive
mouth is devoted to the denunciaton of
civilized society's corner stone, thrift, as
an offence in the eyes of Bryanites.
Can any voter possessed of the average
self-respect and n spark of national pride
and patriotism, hesitate to choose MCKIN-
LEY instead of BRYAN!

high or low, though he never belongs to the low

which assumes to be composed of gentlemen

The Herald in the Wrong.

The Herald suggests that this Govern
ment shall relinquish to some other power
or powers the task OF restoring law, order,
and protection to life and property in Cuba"
1t is the Herdlds opinion that I'VE can
we'll afford. in concert with the united pow
ers OF Europe. to undertake to bring about
some moduS ptpendi which would give Cuba
stable form of government until the peo-
pie Of the island reach q stage where their
self-government shall be practicable and
desirable"
No, slrl We shall not relinquish any
thing Of the kind. We shall not act lin
concert with the united powers of Europe"
for the purpose spoken of. Both of the
propositions of the Herald are undignified,
and unworthy Of its character.
The policy of the United States in regard
to Cuba was established long ago. 1t was
laid down by Mr.. JEFFERSON early In the
century has been often reiterated since his
time, and has never been departed from. A
half century ago foreign powers were Of
flcially informed that the American Govern
ment would never permit Cuba to pass from
the hands of Spain into the control Of any
other European country. When England
and France were believed to be covetous OF
Cuba, they were both notified that we
would never consent to their domination in
the island. Our policy in the case is fixed
and resoute. We shall not deviate from it.
1t is essential to our own security We can
not permit any great European power to
control Cuba. We cannot "relinquish to
some other power or powers the task of re-
storing law and order there" We cannot
Mt any time join with the united powers
Of Europe to bring about some modus
rirendi" for Cuba.
In the case Of Cuba, we have traditions
that are binding upon US. We have an es-
tablished policy that cannot be violated
without dishonor and danger to us. We
have obligations that are irrevocabe SO
long as Cuba fronts our shores.
Spain is to be induced to withdraw from
Cuba, and no other European power can
be allowed to enter it.
The sun., 1896-10-18
A People Who Have Experience in
SclEGovernment.

people who can wage war and can fight
as the Cubans have waged it and fought for
the past twenty months must be regarded
as "able to govern themselves" after they
have won their independence. We do not
see that other countries which have never
given them any help during their long bat
tie for freedom, have any need of troubling
their minds in regard to that matter.
The $4,000 or 1000 Cubans who have
taken part in the war against Spain have
already manifested their capacity for self.
government. They are controlled by the
laws which they have accepted, and by the
rulers who administer these laws. That is
the essence Of self-government. They are
splendidly disciplined. and cheerfully sub
NIT to all military regulations They obey
their commanders without questioning.
They faithfully follow their colors.
They march like regulars, and 20 into bat.
tie like veterans. From the first they have
been organized into divisions. regiments,
and battalions. Their Generals have al
ways been regardful OF the civil authorities,
which were put In power last year at
Cubitas. They control all Cuba with the
exception OF II few cities, and they conduct
affairs of public nature in every province
OF the island.
All these things are things in the nature
of self-government. Even in time of war
the revolutionary Cubans have manifested
their ability to govern themselves" and
govern their country, too.
The brave men who serve Cuba in the
field were not forced into the Cuban army,
as Spain's soldiers are conscripted in the
Spanish army. They enlisted voluntarily.
They rushed to the standard of independ-
ence, which would have twice as many fol-
lowers as it has to-day II supplies of arms
could be obtained. The people are united
as the people of few other countries have
ever been. MAxIMo GOMEZ, II man of Spao.
ish descent, and CALIXTo GARCIA, of like
descent, join hands with ANTONIO Ma
GEO, the mulatto NAPOLEON. The
white men, the black men, and the
men OF mixed blood fight shoulder
to shoulder in the field, and, when they fall,
lie side by side, often without burial. They
know, too, every man of them, for what the
war is waged. They will tell you that they
are in arms against Spanish rule, and are
