There IS more liberty and there are
more different kinds of it in the pro-
clamation issued to the Fihpinos than
they could ever hope to get under Aguin-
aldos sway even if he were the great
man the anti-expansionists say he is.
No native government would have the
resources for organizing, executing or
maintaining such a program even If
they could imagine it. Politics, finance,
justice, education and religion are all
amply provided for.

under the auspices Of st. PauPs sewing

ladies of the mission added several
pieces to the stock remaining from
Monday, and on the last night the

crowd poured in. At II o'clock the tables
were cleared.

Yet another member of the Woman's
Club has something to say relative to
the meeting last week. Il was sorry
to see that statement in Wednesdays
Spy, to the effect that the suRragists
who spoke after the papers had been
read, disobeyed the laws of the club
and that, in permitting them to talk,
the president ignored the will OF the
club. Not only did the club vote
not to permit a discussion after the
speakers had ended, but the president
expressly stated that while the suffrag-
lists could not be represented in the
program by papers, discussion would
be allowed, Mrs. SedgWick and Mrs.
Gage being perfectly willing to answer
questions. Certainly there was no
reason for criticising the president, as
did your correspondent Of yesterday
morning"
CThe anti-suffrage meeting Of the
WOman's Club is evidently rich in ma
terial for argument, but unless some
one has something Of especial import
ance to add, the discussion may be
considered as closely

Secretary Gage having officially and
emphatically assured the New York

Prof. Horatio William Parker seems
to have had about the same success
here as in Boston at proving that the
Episcopal hymnal is not musically what
it should be. He provided a racy en-
tertainment, but the hymnal still sur

who answered him, knows how hard it
is to compile hymns that shall at once
please the people and satisfy the
pedagogs, for he has tried it and he
has the satisfaction of believing that
his work is acceptable.

General Sanguillys remark, that IN
voting to disband the army, dissolve
itself and accept the American offer of
SO, 00o 900 for distribution among the
troops, the Cuban assembly had been
finally vanquished by uncomfortable
conditions was literally true, though
not in the exact sense in which this ex-
citable orator intended. The assembly,
unpopularity was fast increasing. The
people had come to understand perfectly
that no more money could be had IN
Washington, and their Impotence had
been aggravated by industriously cir
culated intimations that if the assembly
did not give up the muster rolls without
further delay, the $3,O00,00O offer might
be withdrawn. The assembly was not
indisposed to make still more trouble,
but it found itself without support
either of the people or the army from
which organization exclusively it de-
rived the few powers it had. There was
imminent danger, too, that Gen. Brooke
might exercise his authority to dissolve
the assembly without more ado, and the
members were not in a position to fight
the United States and Gomez combined.
The proposition for raising a loan was
never tenable, for it would have been
worthless without the guarantee of the
United States, and as the assembly had
no authority for saddling the people
with such a debt, the president, of
course, could not give 1t guarantee.
With the assembly out of the way and
the army paid off and disbanded, there
should be a new impetus to progress in
the settlement of Cuban affairs.

Anti-Suffragist' writes as follows.
SO much talk has been made-both
IN and out Of our daily papers by our
good friends the suffragists, respecting
the vote Of the Womans Club-to al
low the two speakers to give their rea-
sons for opposing equal suffrage with
out molestatiOn and without debate
that no doubt many people who are not
acquainted with the workings of the
club might be led to conclude that it
was not fair play, and that the ANTS
were afraid of an open contest, and
narrow to the extent of not wishing
TO hear the arguments on the other
SIDE. We have certainly been always
glad to listen to able speakers on SUB
jects scientific, social, or educational
and have not provided speakers to
combat their theories or discuss their
beliefs.
No doubt many in the Womans
CIub were not in sympathy with Mr.
Brush in his soCialistic paper, but it
would scarcely have been courteous to
have called in some one to contradict
his statements, or enter into a heated
discussion. The afternoon was his
When our suffrage friends produced
Lucy Stone Blackwell, no anti-suffrag-
list rose in defense of her husband
brother or son, though the poor men
were left as one Of our members said
without two inches Of foundation to
stand upon" The afternoon belonged
to the suifragists and no one interfered
with them. Then why this clamor? Is
it because they feel the weakening of
their forces, and the insecurity of their
position

superintendent Carroll makes an i'm
pressive statement concerning the
crowded condition Of the schools. Even
if the hall of the classical high school
is cut up into rooms, the necessity of
a new high school building can hardly
be postponed thereby for the accom-
mediation of the higher grade pupils is
one of the most pressing problems now
before the committee. This, taken in
connection with the urgent need of
more room in the Oxford and Woodland
street districts, will give the city hall
fnanciers enough to think about for
a year

If Aguinaldo has been deposed from
leadership in Luzon, the fact will tend
to confirm the belief that the insur-
rection is in process of collapse. When
these Spanish halfbreeds fall to fight
ing among themselves for supremacy,
the jig is about up. Gen. Luna, who
is reported to have superseded Agui-
naldo, assumes command when Philip
pine fortunes are at their lowest, and
with the apparent Introduction of feuds
and factions, he will need more ability
than he is supposed to possess to pre-
vent the utter disintegration of his
forces.

1t is assuming a great deal to say
that the defeat of Altgeld by Mayor
Carter H. Harrison puts an end to his
political career. The attempt to in
troduce national issues into the cam
paign was not a marked success, for
the result very properly turned rather
upon local considerations. Further
more, though Harrison led Altgeld by
101 900 votes, the latter polled $4,000
more than his opponents had allowed
him in their preliminary canvass. The
republicans contributed literally tow
ards swelling Harrison's vote, so that
the disparity of strength between the
two democratic factions is less than it
appears in the returns. Altgeld's de-
feat, after so energetic a campaign,
may be a serious check to his political
fortunes, but it seems premature to
call him dead. Incidentally, IL
may be mentioned that for the
first time in years the common coun-
ell numbers majority of anti-boodlers,

The defeat of Mayor McKisson of
Cleveland is accounted in some circles
as the downfall of Senator Foraker s
dominion in Ohio. If this be true,
there is good cause for congratulating
not only the president and Senator
Hanna, but the republican party and
the country as well. The administra-
ton is said to regard this defeat of
its Ohio enemies as disposing Of the
last remaining opposition to the re-
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley, but per-
sonaI considerations aside, the Foraker
element BODIES no good to the party or
the nation. Even those who disapprove
of Mr.. Hanna will find precious poor
comfort either in Foraker or NcKisson.
