been inclined to accept the situation as
it is, and give themselves to ease, literary
pursuits and social enjoyments, but the
great world outside of Maine is moving
at rapid strides. Great social and moral
problems present themselves for solution
Man finds that he cannot legislate for
all the people alone. He must have the
AID OF the pure heart, clear brain and the
Intelligent vote of woman.
This was expressed at the recent meet
ing in Washington by Senator Mason,
Senator Teller, Senator Cannon and many
others, who came before the suffrage con-
vention and personally testified from
their own observations of the efficiency
OF woman in legislative halls.
Said Senator Teller of Colorado, "Wom-
en- heretofore have had no object for the
study of politics but if they had the
| right to vote they would study those
questions and settle them according to
| the right. They are not as partisan as
the men because they have more conf
| dence than the men and will not support
| absolute men for office because they hap
| pen to be on the party ticket.
Senator Cannon of Utah said the
strongest argument in favor of woman
suffrage is that the woman voter would
| not be bound by craftsmanship. Men
have to discuss what is right he declared !:
they have to go down the street and look
at the matter through the bottom of a
glass; (of course he did not have in mind
Maine men, Woman stays at home
instead, rocks the cradle and God tells
her what is proper.
Senator Mason's clear rich voice rune
out over the audience from the box in
which he stood as he said: 'sFrnncis
Willard is not dead; she lives in the
hearts of all good women and her cause
| for woman sutfrage's has one vote in the
Senate of the United States"

The fire spread from the lodge rooms
through doors connecting with dining

wrecked by water. Mr.. Cunningham lost
practically everything.
The building where the fire originated

The resolution introduced into the
House of Representatives by Representive
Gillett of Massachusetts declaring that
in the present war with Spain the United
States will not seize merchant vessels
of the enemy unless they are carrying
contraband of war or attempting to vic.
late q blockade, is directly in liue with
out proposals to the powers at the time of
the negotiation. of the treaty of Paris
Along with Spain we refused to adhere
to The declaration abolishing privateering,
on the ground that inasmuch as we had
a very large mercantile marine and a
small navy, it would place us at d great
disadvantage as compared with other
powers; but we expressed willingness
to subscribe to this article If the Con-
gress would add these words, land that
the private property of the subjects or cit
shall be exempted from seizure by the
public armed vessels of the belligerent
except it be contraband. All the sig
natory powers but England were willing
to agree to this, but England strenuously
objected, and it was dropped. Probably
England was actuated by the considera-
ton that if she assented to this PROPOSE
tion her principal means of damaging us
in case of war would be taken away, as
our mercantile marine was then very
large ard rapidly growing.
There can be no question but the trend
of opinion among enlightened nations is
in the direction of Representative Gill
lett's pr ,posal. Selling and destroying
peaceful merchant vessels on the sea are
closely analogous to the seizure and des-
truction of private property by an enemy
on land, and the latter IS not permitted
nowadays except when it is military
necessity. There is very little prospect at
the present day of bringing nations to
terms by destroying the private property
of their citizens either on land or sea,
OF wautonness. In the present
war one belligerent will probably he able
to seize about as many vessels as the
other, SO that neither is likely to gain
any particular advantage from the BUSH
ness. A step, such as Representative
Gillett suggests, taken by us now would
undoubtedly go far to command for us
the good Onion of the world, and would
very likely result in the abolition in fu-
ture wars among civilized powers of the
seizure Of purely private property not
contraband of war. Spain might not
wish to follow US, but we are inclined to
think that she would be forced to do SO
by the moral pressure that would be put
upon her. At any rate we might try the
plan conditionally, reserving the right to
renew the seizures if Spain did not de-
