impreSses me with the fact that wom-

4 fears have been experienced in this
country that woman would get the

quiet your perturbations, as YOU look
across .he sea, in this anniversary
time, and behold woman who for so

OF all nations are clappiug, the flags
OF all nations waving, the batteries of
all nations booming. Look herel Men

that men have made bad mess of it.
The most damnably corrupt things on
earth is American politics, after men

and knows better how to make self
sacrifices, and would more boldly act

evil, and worse things might come To
this country than supreme court
