ford railroad, in its endeavor to absorb
thevNew England road, will not have to
go before the Connecticut Legislature,
for its charter in that state allows the
absorption Of connecting lines. 1t may
have all the opposition it can conve-
niently attend to, however when it
tackles the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island legislatures The controversy over
the pending bill allowing the Boston and
Maine to acquire the stock Of leased
lines Especial legislation substituted for
the general bill that was defeated last
Year,, is not encouraging for this sort
of enterprise on Peacon Hill, while in
Rhode Island there s fehd led by the
Providence Journal that shrieks "tyr-
amy, oppression and fraud" whenever
the directors of the Consolidated road
lift their heads. Nevertheless, and
despite the protest against "the per-
manent capitalization of extravagant

public nor the companies would suffer
by consolidation, and each mlght gam
something by it.

Lowell cotton mill operatives are de-
cidedly averse to a general strike, and
one of their leaders says there will be no
strike in that CITY, eff the professional
agltators let us alone" In discussing
the results of strike, Mayor Bennett
estimates the number of men and wom-
en- who would go out at $4,000, and the
weekly pay roll at 100000 Some $50. 900
a week would be needed to support the
strikers, and this money would have to
come from the small individual deposits
in the savings banks. The situation is
tine more deplorable, because New Eng
land is the one section of the country
which has not felt to any great extent
the business revival which every COM
mercial traveller knows has gladdened
the south and west, A general strike
in an industry of the magnitude of the
cotton milling interests would make its
effects felt far outside the limits of the
business itself.

A really serious endeavor seems to

permanent orchestra Anton Seidl has
received a call to Berlin and another to
Hamburg, and unless something is done
to make his life in New York more con-
genial and profitable, he is likely to go
back to Germany forever, His successes
in London and at Bayreuth, last season,
have not only increased his prestige in
the city, but also his own determination
that adequate provision must be made
for him somewhere The threat Of de-
parture has inspired an attempt to col
lect fund for the support of an or
chestra. What Seidl wants is a body of
musicians that he can command, so that

During the debate ON the woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitution,
Monday, member of the state house
of representatives said that SO per cent
of the women are either OPP
posed or indifferent to woman suf-
frage. We are not certain about the
percentage, but it looks as if Mr.. San
der's statement were true of at least a
majority of women in this common
wealth This was not so conclusively
indicated by the vote on the referendum
of 1895, as it is by the general indisposi-
the suffrage privileges already allowed
them, and by the organized opposition
to the extension Of those privileges,
which has sprung up since 1895 and
waxed decidedly vigorous. 1t is not
clear to all of us that there is any rea-
son inherent in the nature of things or
in the matter of propriety or justice,
why women should not be allowed to
vote. 1t can hardly be said that pres
ent conditions in Massachusetts,, how
ever, warrant the experiment, or that
there is any call for it that demands
more than a respectful hearing. At
present woman suffrage seems about as
dead an issue as any that comes before
the Legislature, and for this condition
the women themselves are more respon-
sible than the men. They have killed
it, or at least have so badly crippled it
that it is hardly able to stand alone,
even at a committee hearing,

coarse. ignorant people," But diverting
as this letter is, the debate of the
amazed aldermen was no less edifying.
They did not know what to do with this
protest and petition. and so they had
fun with it. One suggested that the
reputation of the city was at stake, and
that the ordinance might be suspended
during the stay of the aggrieved parties
in the city. Another questioned the
constitutionality of the law itself, and
in view of the assertion that the mil
lnery business is suffering seriously
from it, it might be argued that there
was ground for testing the law.

purposes Of cooking, eating or sleeping,
This is not bill to forbid Bridget doing
her washing or ironing in the kitchen,

strictive legislation is going on, we

The Russian order for enough Harvey
ized American armor plate to fit out two
battleships, following closely upon the
British order for American locomotives
to be used in the Soudan, causes rejoic-
ing in certain circles. 1t is worth notice
ing that $500, the price Russia pays per
ton, is 5000 more than our government
was allowed to pay for the armor of
three new battleships, and $1OO more
than the committee of congress is now
willing to recommend. In the days of
wooden ships, American masts and
spars were carried by battleships of
every nation, and the best battleships
afioat were built in this country. In the
present era of iron ships, a similar pref
erence for the American brands of
naval architecture is cropping out to a
gratifying extent.

Mrs. M. Coleman, a stranger visiting
in Boston with her two daughters, is
the first to protest formally against the
city ordinance compelling women at the
theatre to remove their hats and bon
nets. Her ingenious letter was read in
the board of aldermen and referred to- a
committee, with the suggestion that the
writer and her daughters be requested
to appear at hearing. Mrs. Coleman
writes that she sis no longer young
and finds that she takes cold every time
she removes her bonnet in the theatre.
She tells of her presence at the Hollis
Street Theatre, where she wore ga per-
fectly fiat bonnet with nothing project
ing at the sides or standing up" so that
spectators sitting behind told her that
the millinery did not in anywise OBJ
struct their view. Nevertheless, the
usher made her take the bonnet off.
Mrs Coleman continues:
cone paper said ladies would have to
wear hoods Now, who wants to go to
a theatre looking like a guy? Another
thing, If we go in cars we are ashamed
to look so, and we cannot always af-
ford cab.
why did you not make law COM
pelling those who wore hats or bonnets
that took away any ones view Of the
stage to remove them? But a perfectly
close bonnet never prevented any one
from seeing all that was on the stage.
1--WE had our bonnets made before we
came here, with the idea of wearing
them to the theatre and now we are
not allowed to keep them on. We were
out to a dinner Saturday night, and the
ladies' present all said that they would
remain at home before they would go
and be made to remove their hats and
bonnets. They also said there was no
beauty in the looks of the theatres now,
as it was not at all edifying to have to sit
between the acts and look at old, gray
pugs; and is 1t not true?
1.-THE lovely flower bonnets my daugh-
ters had made are much prettier to
gaze upon, and every lady of any taste
says the same.
"Another thing. Do you not think It
wrong to do anything that hurts ones
businessY We have been in nearly all
first class millinery houses, and they all
say your act has ruined their business,
that at this time of the year they have
always been busy, making evening bon
nets Now the ladies say they will not
buy them, and be made to remove them.
Cannot you, in reasonable way,
modify this act? Let us old ladies
wear flat bonnets and make every one
remove whatever obstructs a persons
view AS you must know, there are
very many coarse, ignorant people who
go to the theatres and think they are
smart If they can make one remove
anything they may wear on their heads.
1t appears that Beacon street women
have been the especial victims Of these

Prince Albert of Flanders, heir to the
Belgian throne, unmarried, aged 90,
with light pompadour hair and growing
beard, should make sensation when
he comes to New York, the first week in
March. He is not coming incognito, but
to have a good time and 'study the
institutions of the country" Besides
five palaces in prospect, he has a for
tune of $50,000,000 inherited from his
grandmother, the daughter of Louis
Philippe, king of the French, and from
his grandfather, uncle of Queen Vic
toria. He is not the son of the Belgian
king, but the nephew, but his father is
nearly as old as the king, and can have
little prospect of reigning. Thus it will
be seen that Albert is well connected
enough even to satisfy the 400"

A few hours after Prof. Walker of the
| to represent the agricultural interests,
had had their filings at the report of the
tax commission at the state house, Mon
day, the Boston Associated Board Of
Trade adopted report approving of
the commissions scheme substantially
as it stands. Some exception was taken
to the method Of applying tine tax on
rentals, an exemption UP to 5000 being
suggested instead of $400, and it was
urged that the inheritance tax should
not be applied to real estate. These
were the only reservations. This is per-
haps the most important endorsement
that the commission has received for its
work. What Prof. Walker and his CO.
adjutors demand, of course, is the rigid
enforcement Of the tax on intangible
personal property. They do not see any
double taxation in mulcting the cor
poration in which man may own stock
and then taking slice out Of the divi-
dends after the profits have been dis
tributed to the stockholders; neither do
they see any argument in the fact that
the compulsory submission of sworn re-
turns of taxable personal property en-
courages deceit and perjury, or, in the
practically universal experience, that the
revenue from this form of taxation con-
stantly diminishes. AS for the threat
that a stringent law compelling all citi-
zens to hand in to the assessors a sched-
ule of all personal property. would drive
many out OF the state, Prof. Walkers
reply would apparently be: 'Let them
60" AS the purpose of taxation is to
raise revenue, if need be. rather than
extinguish it, the economic wisdom of
this course seems to require some ex-
lnlanation
