down the Rue dc st. Antoine. Down
this great street it seemed as if the
coming of the king had awakened the
good citizens to life again, for there
were lights at nearly all the windows,
though the street itself was in dark

LONDON NOTES.
MINOR MORALS OF THE PUBLISHING
TRADE-WOMEN IN THE NEW
BOROUGH COUNCILS.

London. June Z.
The International Publishers Congress is
meeting In London this week and will probably
have something to say the subject of an i'm
proved system of copyright Absolute freedom
CT literary exchange is a lofty ideal toward
which the world is slowly but surely moving.
The principle upon which that international
policy is based is respect for intellectual prop
erty-terary dramatic. artistic or musical.
There has been a remarkable development OF
this principle during the last decade, and the
forces Of public opinion are behind it In every
civilized country. That the growth OF this feel
ing OF respect for literary property needs TO be
stimulated both in England and in America re-
quires little argument Mr.. Dooley is a COM
petent witness respecting American grievances.
His writings have been reprinted In various
editions and sold at the book stalls all the way
from penny TO a shilling; and he has as his
main reward the benevolent consciousness OF
having enabled many minor publishers TO make
a handsome profit at his expense.

tween administrative and legislative functions
is too subtle to determine their precise place IN

withstanding the vigor with which Sir Henry
Fowler has challenged their ambition. they
secretly cherish It, to sit in the House OF Com
mons-the historic legislative assembly OF the
world The opponents Of womens politicai
rights may, however console themselves with
the reflection that the right TO sit on vestry
has not carried ambitious women very far ana
that the House OF Commons has become the dull

ceased to attract women Of energy and vivacity.

creased in that line"
What will be the future course OF Spain as
regards her colonies?"
THE LOYAL CANARIES
Spain now has only the Canaries. her African
territory and several coaling stations in the
Carolines and the Ladrones. Regarding the
Canaries. they not regarded a colony.
but as a province. and have representation in
the Senate. So II seems curious 10 Spaniard
to hear the Canaries spoken OF a colony, even
II they remote from the mother country.
Spain will never have any trouble with them,
for they are too devoted to the parent land.
And the people proud to call themselves
Spaniards. They have never had and never
will have any revolution. Proof was furnished
during the Cuban war. when they universally
sided with the mother country. As TO our All
can territories. they cannot be considered quite
territorially because there several military
posts there which are Melilla Alozorean, Come

these posts are not regarded as being in highly
civilized surroundings. And 1t is wel-known

jority of thirty-nve votes that women whether

Aldermen in the new Borough Councils 10 be or
ganized under the new London Government Dill
The main argument in support Of Mr. Courtneys
amendment was that women had been elected
TO vestries where they were able to do good
work and that to disqualify them from service
in the new Councils would be to upset prece-
dent, dsfranchlse them and take step back
