Governor Roosevelt in his message to
the New York legislature recommends
giving women the ballot under certain re-

gradually admitting women TO the full
rights Of suffrage with men. He believes
that it would improve the condition of
womankind and would make in the in

The concern known as the Associated
Charities OF the District has long been a
subject of suspicion TO people who had
the interests of Washington's poor most
thoroughly at heart. The Evans case is
only type of many which have never
received public attention. Mr. Herbert w.
Lewis should be promptly Investigated,
and, If guilty of the gross neglect his
conduct in the Evans matter seems 10
imply, instantaneously removed.
Great Britain has been compelled to add
five hundred dervishes to the nearly twenty

a French agricultural journal gives the
method by which a vine grower OF Tou-
raine is said to produce magnificent grapes.
He dissolTes two Kilograms of suIphate OF
iron in leo litres of water and sprinkles
it on the leaves and punches of the vines
The first application is made when the
grapes are about one-third their full size.
the second about a month alter. and the
third about twenty days before they are

During his address of welcome 20 the
President at Montgomery the other day,
Governor Johnston eulogized the State of
Alabama in glowing phrases such as only Il
SoUIhsFRer can frame. His eioqUence wss
not directed at the President, however but
over his shoulder at the voters of Tn. St.t,
whose support he desired for the United

After the ceremonies were over and the

was making in order to gratify the people

Talkativemess of Ambassador Chaote

From the New York Journal.
Modern diplomacy is an absurdity. 1t
dates as practice from the peace of West
phalia, which, in 164s, ended the Thirty
Years war. Space and time were barriers
then. Nations were not neighbors. There
were no democrac:es. The divine right of
kings was the foundation of government.
Monarchs carried sceptres and wore
crowns. Armies fought with swords and
spears and catapults and cuveries. There
were no telegraphs nor cables, nor newspa-
pers, nor ocean greyhounds, nor limited ex
press trains nor through malls. Men trav-
eled in post-chaises, in coaches and on
horseback over founderous roads. High
way robbery was an established industry
The world was made of priests and their
dupes; of tyrants and their victims, and of
masters and their slaves.
In those days international intercourse
was conducted by ambassadors, ministers
plentipotentiary ENJOYS extraordinary,
legatees and nuncios, representing sover-
eigns, travelling in state with suite and re-
tinue, from capital to capital Thus treaties
were negotiated Thus royal marriages
were arranged. Thus the vanquished APP
pealed for mercy to their conquerors, ad-
JuSteQ ulSpuIeu Succession, etc. mus the
plots of cabals, the Vaccinations of fac
tons, the intrigues of courters, the rival
ries of courtesans were carried on. while
the masses of people were condemned to
fncessant toll, to degradation and poverty
inconceivable lived upon offal and herded
like swine in their sites.
Emperors and princes nowadays wear
derby hats, made-up ties, coored shirts,
cutaway coats. tan shoes and ride the BIZ
cycle. Education in civilized powers is IN
iversal. The people are supreme. Instead
of highway robbers we have the trusts.
Space and time have been annhilated
Railroads which are the arteries, and tele-
graphs, which are the nerves of the world
have abolished boundaries, and made the
past, the present and the future synony-
nous.
CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.
A message by wire from London to New
York. or from New York to San Francisco,
reaches its destination hours before 1t is
sent. All the cities of the earth are now
in the same ncighborhood, and continents
are-conriguous.

chants of America, Germany. France and

vast mutations, governments have come at
last to be the agents of the people for the
conduct of business, trade and commerce.
Dynasties and traditions have succumbed
to economic policies and the strife for mar

ton of sending ambassadors, ministers

or the buttons on the back of our coats
They have no initiative, nor any duties
that could not as well be performed direct
ly by communication between the princi-
pals of the governments they represent.
Their functions are chiefly those of ETH
ouette. involving questions of precedence in
the cabinet chamber and priority at din
ners and receptions. These trivial and
frivolous pursuits involve enormous expen-
diture. Our ambassadors are paid ST. 500
but a minister plentipotent'ary told me In
1892 in Berlin that 1t was not possible ia

the European courts on less than $40 000 n

River Boat Upset

Louisville, April 15.-The barge Vidalia, OF
Pittsburg, while attempting to go over the
falls today became unmanageable and
struck against pier near the Indiana side
of the louisville bridge. The force of i'm
pact was SO terrific that the boat turned
completely over, emptyng its entire cargo,
consisting of fine Russian iron valued at
about 100000. into fifteen feet of water.
The boat was valued at $1,000 and the loss
will be total, as Russian iron is utterly
worthless when emersed in water any
length of time. The Vidalia was en- route
from Pittsburg to St. Louis. No one was
injured.
