After quarter of a century's active
participation in the women suffrage
movement, Phoebe Cozzens OF St. Louis,
experienced change of heart and
came to the conclusion that woman,
with their peculiar mental make-up,
were not fitted for participation in pub
lie affairs. They were given tojealous-
les that were irreconcilable, against
which the public interest could not pre-
vail, and their moral vision was liable
to impairment through causes so trif.
ing as to be absurd. So says one of our
city dailies.

An occasional item is seen in the
county papers calling attention to the
need OF stone roads in various parts of
the county, and while the JOURNAL
Is an advocate Of stone roads, We feel
that Wood county authorities will do
better by FIRST hunting up or creating
some law by which the stone roads we
now have, can be kept in such condi-
that they are of service before build
ing new roads. The people living along
and ad jacent to the Maumee and Wes-
Tern Reserve stone road, Tor what is
left Of it) feel that great wrong has
been done the general public by the
manner in which this road has been
neglected. Before the enactment OF
the crime by which 1t was turned over
to the tender merces of Wood and
SanduslIy counties, 1t was one of the
finest roads in the State and credit
to the people, but the shameful
manner in which it has been neglected,
has reduced 1T 10 condition thai is
abominable and disgraceful. The
Township Trustees claim that the law
places the duty OF assessing taxes and
repairing the road upon the County
Commissioners and we understand the
Commissioners claim TO be powerless.
be this as IL may, there is certainly
some means which could be adopted by
which the thoroughlare can be placed
In good condition and then maintained,
and as Lhere seems to be Il dil-
ference of opinion among the officials
we would suggest that the Perrysburg
township Trustees meet the Commis-
stones at II regular session and consult
proper authorities for the purpose of
ARRIVING az some conclusion as To how
and by whom the work should be done.
Furtherneglect OF this thoroughfare is
no less than criminal, being destruc-
tion OF valuable property by reason of
negegance. The people are anxious
than some action should be taken as
soon as possible.

continue the serious division in the Pop
uiist ranks in this county.
County Commissioner wilson is talked
OF as a compromise, but probably was
mentioned too early in the game TO ef-
feet the purpose. c. NJ Brooks is also
mentioned, but already the word has
been passed along the line that it must

as Mr.. Brooks is a free silver Republi-

was that of ]. c. Gilmore Of Nj. Hope

THE BRITISH VIEW OF CUBA.

The British Government, desiring
to ascertain the real condition of af-
fairs in Cuba, has recently authoriz-
ed the British vice consul at Havana
to investigate matters throughout the
whole island and report it's findings
report is by no means favorable to
Spain. The English diplomatic agent
considers that the Spanish govern
ment misrules Cuba to an incredible
extent, and that the immoralities Of
the Spanish administration are be-
yond description. These are the
causes, in his opinion, that led Gu
bans to begin the revolution and in
spire them with deep hatred toward
Spain and disbelief in all proposed
Spanish reforms.
With regard to the war, the vice
consul believes that, as it is being
carried on now, it may last many
years. The insurgents cannot be con-
quered by the Spanish army. Though
the Cuban soldiers are not trained
veterans, and deficiencies in dicipline
may be observed in their ranks, their
leaders are, as rule, wonderful STRAIT
egists, far superior to the best Span
ish generals. Maxine Gomez, in the
opinion Of the British agent, is a mil
itary genius. The Spanish reports
that he is fleeing from one place
to another to avoid attacks of the
Spanish troops are false. He always
controls the provinces in which he
operates. Moreover, he directs the
whole Cuban army and his subordi
mates adore and admire him.
