Country Ruled by Women.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the chicago Chronicle.
The feminine element in protesting Amer
lea that longs for equal suffrage might gain
their desires by emigrating across the seas
to the little country hemmed in by the
Alps.
A whole town in the Swiss mountains has
suddenly come under petticoat government.
This Is in the Canton Ticino, where stern
necessity required that the women should
be allowed to vote. So many of the men
had emigrated to seek for work that the
municipality was without voters and could
not make laws and elect officers.
The commune of Melano having especial
ly suffered from the dearth of men and all
parish business having come to a stand
still, the parish council has decreed that
during the months of spring and summer
the emancipation of the women has become
a necessity for the discharge of public bus
mess; that, therefore, in default of dep
utfeS Of the male sex, each member of the
parish council may be represented by a
woman member of his own household, the
women having the same right to vote as
belonged to the duly elected but mainly
absentee council of males.
In consequence of this measure the COM
mune of Melano is at present administered
by council of WHY es and mothers, assisted
by a few aged men and invalids. who are
stated to form the opposition. The liberal
press of Ticino approves this new form of
government, while the Catholic organs are
strongly opposed to 1t.

That she should forget to feign surprise
when the alarm of murder was raised was
very natural, and SO way the fact that q
woman with soul so bipnted to all deli
cate instincts, and with b mind so intent
upon perfecttng the scheme entered into
by the murderer of throwing the blame
upon the man whose dagger had been made
use of, should persist in visiting the scene
or crime and calling attention to the spot
where that dagger had faIien. And so with
her manner before her examiners. Battling
as that manner wasn't still showed streaks
OF consistency, when yout thought of it as
the cloak of subtle unprincipled woman,
who sees amongst her finterlocutors the
guilty man whom by word she can de-
stroy, but whom she exerts herself to save,
even by a series of bizarre explanations
that could only make her little short of
ridiculous. She was laying with life,
life she loved, but hot with sincerity suf-
hcient to rob the game eff a certain deli
cate, if inconceivable, intellectual enjoy
ment.
And Frederick? Had there been anything
In his former life or in his conduct since
the murder to give the lie to these heavy
doubts against him? On the contrary.
Though Sweetwater knew little of the dark
record which had made this young man the
disgrace of his family, what he did know
was so much against him that he could
well see that the distance usually existing
between simple dissipation and desperate
crime might be easily bridged by some
great necessity for money Had there been
such necessity? Sweetwater did not
know, but it was easy to think so. And
Fredericks manner? Was it that of an
honest man simply shocked by the suspi-
cions which had fallen upon the woman he
loved? Had he, Sweetwater, not observed
certain telltale moments in his late be-
haviOr that required a deeper explanation
even than this?
The cry, for instance, with which he had
rushed from the empty ball room into the
woods on the opposite side of the road!
Was 1t natural cry or an easily explain
able one? Thank God. this terrible night
is overt Strange language to be uttered
by this man at such time and in such a
place If he did not already know what was

him from the consequences of CRIME, If not
from the crime itself.
AS for the flower. what more natural
than that Frederick should have trans
ferred it from her hair to his buttonhole
during some of their interviews at the
ball and that it should have fallen from
its place to the floor in the midst of his
possible struggle with Batsy.
And. with this assumption of her perfect
knowledge as to who had gone up the stairs
of Mrs. Webb's house, how much easier it
is to understand why she did not lift her
head when she heard him descend. No wo-
man, even one so depraved this, would
wish to see the handsome face of her lover
in the glare of a freshly committed crime

Meridian of Ferro.

Inc use of the meridian of Ferro, passing
near the largest of the Canary Islands
was adopted by Ptolemy in the second CEN
fury Of the Christian era, because those
Islands We're the westernmost land then
known, and that line was deemed the divid-
ing meridian between the eastern and the
western hemispheres. 1t is II degrees 30
minutes and 45 seconds west of Greenwich
and gives resultant difference of time of
more than an hour. During the time of the
early navigatorS and down to 1900 this
meridian was commonly used but with the
establishment of zero at Paris in 1884 and
an English prime meridian at Greenwich
some years later, differences began. The
Germans, through the influence of the
Dutch navigators and map makers, in
which latter work the Hollanders led dur
ing the seventeenth century, have still their
zero at Ferro.

portation Of the baggage OF passaa-
gers, the outcry against the incon-
venience, discomfort, and hardships in
fiicted upon passengers arriving at the
port of New York, by the Customs in

by the Treasury department declaring
that the omission by a passenger to
include in the list of articles sub
mitted to the inspectors for examina-
ton, any dutiable articles, should not
be taken as evidence of an infant to
smuggle. The fear of being charged
with this offense has for many years
made the incoming passengers an I'M

smuggle articles, but did not wish TO
be caught in the act. The new regu

TWO WARS.

The war in Samoa and the war in
the Philippines admirably illustrate
the ina bility of the individual or the
nation to fix the minds eye closely
upon two distinct objects at the same
moment
The singular spectacle, so rare in
history, of the English and the Ameri-
cans standing shoulder to shoulder in
a fight with semi-savages would create
intense excitement throughout the
did not exist and involve larger issues
and more lives.
The British take such affairs as the
Samoan war as a common day ex-
perience, because, it is said, that every
day in the year brings war to the
British Empire, and sorrow to some
British home.
| But the unexpected has happened
The union of the two great branches
of the Anglo-Saxon race should have
taken place in some grand and impress
sive proceeding before the whole
world; in perhaps some great war with
powerful nations united to crush the
Ang' o-Saxons. But instead of an i'm
preszive spectacle, the union of the
traces is celebrated by Jointly thrash
ing some savages near Apia. But the
spirit of union existed
There cannot be in this war upon
savages amy disposition to insult Ger
many indirectly. Nor will Germany
depart from her agreements with En-
gland and America regarding Samoan
matters. She has been placed in an
embarrassing position by her represen-
tatives. but the very prompt way in
which her government agreed to the
forming of commission for an in
vestiga tion and settlement of the mat
ter shows her determination to- avoid
friction
The day has passed when a nation
takes the position that it Will stand
by it's representative, right or wrong.
Even the British, who in their colonial
tanned their own representatives
abroad, do not now allow false pride
to involve them in unnecessary trou-
bles.
The Samoan matter becomes an in
teresting event to be recorded in the
new chapter of the history of the Paci-
fic ocean.
