1t will be interesting to note, in the af-
termath of the elections, how many wo-
men voted in Ohio The showing made
may indicate whether or not woman suf-
frage is a complete or only a partial fail
ure in that state; and. the women of
Ohio can no doubt be considered as fairly
representative of those of the country at
large.
Two years ago the Ohio legislature, In
compliance with a very Strong demand,
vested women with the right to vote on
certain local matters. There was jubila-
ton in the ranks of the equal suffragists.
The entering wedge had been placed, and
it only remained for the women to drive
it home in order to rend the opposition to
woman suffrage and secure for Vhem-
selves full political rights and privileges.
Have the women Of Ohio followed up their
advantage? Did they really wish to vote
and help to run the politics of the coun-
try, or was their equal suffrage agitation
based upon desire TO possess something
then out of their reach?
What is true of the city of Cleveland in
this matter Is probably true of the rest
of the state. In that city, in 1885, the reg
istration of women amounted TO 1881, of
which number 4,945 cast their ballots at
the next succeeding election In the spring
of 1896 there was another registra-
ton and election, and at that
time 2.72S women registered and
1882 voted In the spring of 1897 the wo-
men were called upon a third time to reg
lister and vote, and this ime the registra-
ton was 40S and the ballot cast 22S At
the close of the registration for the cleo
ton of Nov. there had been only 80 wo-
men qualified to vote; how many of them
exercised the glorious privilege on last
Tuesday remains to be seen. II should be
stated that to register these SO women in
Cleveland it was necessary to keep full
and separate set of registration books, at
a cost of $4,000, or more than 1882 each.
It is understood that the session of the
legislature which meets the approaching
winter will be asked to repeal the law,
on the ground that the women generally
do not want to vote and that it is too ex-
pensive a luxury to provide suffrage for
the handful of 'reformers" who will vote.

The city council adjourned az such a
late hour last night that it was impossible
to give its action on street railroad mat
tiers careful consideration. A hasty glance
at the report Of the street and lane COM
mittee, which was adopted, leaves the i'm
preston that the street railroad company
gets all it wants without any compensa-
ting advantages to the city. 1t was our
understanding that the company wanted
70 remove its tracks from Price street, but
we find from the report that the street
and lane committee insisted on the reno
val of the tracks. because the street is
so narrow, and yet the company is per
mitted to double track Anderson street,
which is also very narrow street. 1t Is
further provided that Price street can
never again be used for street railway
purposes, unless those desiring it pay S.
per foot for the privilege. That is. the
use Of the street for railway purposes is
practically prohibited. The people should
read the report which the council adopted
and see whether or not their rights have
been carefully guarded.

The arrangement With Spain under which
the London Rothschilds have controlled the
Spanish Almadcn quicksilver mines since
1885 VIII expire In 1900. Last year. Nhen
negotiations for renewal We're talked Of,
strong national feeling against il was
developed. The contract now in force was
signed in 1870, being a continuation Of
the original one, and under it Spanish ex-
perts say that the house of Rothschiid has
netted profit Of not less than $50, ,000,-
600. The mines are found to grow richer
as the workings are sunk deeper, and 1t IS
regarded as probable that In future they
may yield as much as $6,o00,000 a year.
The eminent Hebrew merchants interest
ed in the deal are not unaware that tho
Spanish treasury is as empty as the sup
pressed American House of Representa-
tives between .adjournments," nor that
nothing but the AInladen mines are left as
security for any money Canovas may hope
to raise. No European financier would dare
to interpose between the Rothschilds and
their prey, and SO the Spaniards are at
their mercy.

contract has, been agreed upon, provid-
ing for twenty years control of the
