Walter l.. Sherburne, mem ber OF
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, who
died recently at Topeka, was sick in
bed at Manila when the fighting with
mo tlllplnos began. Ho grabbtd q
rifle and with a Minnesota regiment

shot just over the heart aud went back
to his bed. After feeling u little bet
ter, he made his escape from the hos
pltal again and rejoined the fight.
Twice more he was taken back to the
hospital, and twice more made his es-
cape to get into the fighting. Upon
his return to the hospital for the
last time he was too weak to leave lis
bed.
Tho Republican Lieutenant Cover
nor Of Kentucky is quoted as saving,
the day before the death of Governor
Goebel, that "it matters n thing as to
tho result Of Goebeps wound, so far as
the Republican party in Kentucky is
concerned. If he dies, he Is martyr;
ii he lives, he is hero. In either
event, the Republican party is gone
to hell.' The Lieutenant Governor Is
evidently wise and far seeing young
man.
Con Milee has long been known as
one of the most accomplished horse
men in the army. Since he has been
stationed in Washington he has kept
up his riding, and every morning,
whatever the weather may be, he

"RETROGRESSION OF THE
AMERICAN WOMAN"

Flora Mcdonald Thompson contri-
butes to the current North American
Review rather sharp criticism of the
American woman of to-day under the
title "Retrogression OF the American
Woman" Taking De Tocquevillc's de-
scription OF the woman of the first half
of the century for comparison with the
woman of the present, the writer draws
contrast that is far from flattering
to the latter. She makes the basis of
this arraignment the increasing num-
Der of divorces in which the law places
the blame on the wife. the tremendous
growth of the erratic novel and the
literature OF scandal,thc decreasing do
mesticity OF the American woman and
her tendency to find her chief interest
outside OF the home. and the irruption
OF q vast number of women into the
vTork-a-iay world OF men, over II per
cent Of the persons employed In all
occupaaons now being women. The
writer finds that this change has come
about through the travelling abroad of
Americans. ard once in the blood, the
disorder has teen transmitted to pos
terity." True IS are many of the
charges brought by the writer. in one
particular she seems to have applied to
all American women what may be true
in some localities. but certainly not in
all. De Tocqueyille said that Amerl-
cans held that every association must
have head In order to accomplish its
object and that the natural head of
the conjugal association is man" The
writer comments that, certainly. this
picture of wifely submission would
move modern American women to
scorn and their husbands to hallow
mirth." Yet she was unable to find
more than eightyfve instances in the
whole of Massachusetts where the hus-
band was not recognized as the head
of the family" Mrs. Thompson seems
to be in state of undue alarm.

WILL THESE MEN ExpLAlNe

The Virginian- Pilot, in its issue of
yesterday morning, called on the fol-
lowing members of Councils to explain
why they voted against amending the
franchise of the Bell Telephone Com
pany by the insertion of a maximum
rate clause after they had pledged
themselves to vote for such I'm amend
ment: Messrs. Edward Camp, n. NJ.
Cashin, c. II. Consolvo, VIM. II. Han
nan. f. Jacobs, e. S. Joynes. ]. j.
O'Keefe, A. Stahl. a. c. Walker, r. W.
,Whitehurst and f. r. Wise. They
have not explained. They did not ex-
plain when they voted. They will not
explain. because they have no valid
reason to give. Why did you Hop"
gentlemen? Why did you ignore the
interests Of the people who elected you
Ito office?
5F Besides the names of these persons
of fluent convictions above given. the
following members OF City Councils
voted to put the people of this city at
the mercy of Bell Telephone Monop-
oily. to besmirch the good name of this
city by repndiating its contract and
X totaiillldii IFS reputation Tor lar deal
ing by favoring one private corpora
tion at the expense of another. namely:
Messrs. BEAA1AN. JOHNSON. FOR
EST, KIERNAN. MAYO. OBERN-
DoRFER, PANNILL and UNDER
DOWN.
Will these members Of Councils ex-
plain to their constituents why they
voted favors to the Bell Telephone
Company at the expense and injury of
the citizens of Norfolk? Win they ex-
plain why they vacated their places as
guardians of the public interest to be-
come partisans of the Bell Telephone
Company? Will they-can they-ex-
plain?
There are many thousands of your
constituents waiting and very desir-
Gus to have an explanation from you,
gentlemen.

GEN. WOODS WORK IN CUBA.

The Cubans have been particularly
fortunate in the Governor sent TO
them ad interim. General Wood is
neither n politician nor n professional
militarist tied up with departmental
red tape. He rose on his merits ana
has not been pulled up by his rise. III
every matter coming under his sole
authority he seems to have efficiently
served the interests of the unfortunate
people under his care. The schools
the roads, the sanitary condition of the
towns and cities, all have been Won
derfully improved for so short a time
For the steals in the postonice at Ila-
vana he was in nowise responsible. and
doubtless. if he had been allowed to
name the employees, would not have
occurred He held aloof entirely from
the elections at which delegates to the
convention TO frame Constitution
were chosen and Will leave the conven
ton 10 its own devices while it is do
ing It's work. The revenues of the ISL
and are sufficient TO meet its expendl-
lures and no complaint has been made
of heavy taxes. The condition of the
inhabitants has improved wonderfully,
order seems to prevail throughout the
island and its commerce is rapidly
growing in volume. If the Cubans are
really wise when they have framed
their Constitution and get ready to
elect n President they will sound Cen
eral Wood to see how he would like
a few terms. Certain it is that his
work in Cuba Is the only thing OF
which Americans have reason to be
proud In. the administration OF any of
SPANS former possessions.

NOTES AND orINIoNs.
THE CANADA ELECTION.
(Chicago Record.l

II the ante election predictions have
been verified by the vote of yesterday
in the dominion, the present govern
ment of Canada Will have q new lease
of power. III Canada, as in the United
States. the prosperity argument has
been effective with voters. and the
Laurier ministry has not been slow to
proclaim itself as the author OF the
good that Canada has enjoyed.
Added 10 this is the less pleasing is
sue made 10y the introduction of the
race question into the contest Gradu-
ally the French Canadian population
is outstripping it's British neighbors.
and the day is not distant when at the
present rate OF increase Canada will
be French so far as the domination of
numbers can make it, With the con
tinued asccndency of the French senti-
ment it is likely that Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier will stand at the front of Canadian
policy.
The people Of the United states have
4 growing interest In Canada and all
things Canadian. This is not wholly
due TO territorial proximity and SINH
larity of language but arises from the
fact that the products of the two coun-
tries to Il large degree arc dissimilnr
and therefore ought to he exchange
able with the least possible interior
ence of tariff restrictions. Much that
is made in the United States, such as
many of the manufactures Of Chicago
is desired in Canada. This is especial
ly true of farm machinery. 1t is inter
eSting TO observe that the contest Just
terminated had for one OF its leading
Issues the failure of the present gov
eminent to carry out its pledge TO give
the farmers of the northwest American
farm machinery free OF duty, or nearly
so.
With the retention of The I.aurier
government and The reelection OF
President Mckinley there is a prospect
that the joint high commission that
has in hand the commercial ana other
relations OF The two countries will be
able soon 20 reach an agreement. that
Will be helpful to the people Of both the
United states and Canada. At lea
the sunersensitiNe politicians OF the two
countries are now freed from the en-
narrassment of impending elections

view of what it will do when not on

view of what it will do when not on
probation.
While making no pretence to prophc-
tic gifts. the Virginian- Pilot ventures
the opinion that before the end of Mr..
Mckinley's second administration there
Will be developed q condition that will
be intolerable. We may expect in the
Philippines. in Porto Rico, in any other
colonies we can lay our hands on. rot
tenness never dreamed of under the
spoils system at home: while in the
first of these we shall have the same
dismal turmoil. with its list of dead.
naimed and crazed soldiers, it's drain
in taxes and its augmenting pension
claims. that the country is familiar
with. Administration favorites in the
public service will rob impartially the
Filipino and the American soldier.
While other favorites will grab fran
chises and secure concessions. Each
process has already begun and will go
on swiftly hereafter. The possession
of colonies has added an immense bulk
of spells. civil and military.
IN the meantime the Republican
party must pay on in some way the
men who gave the millions for it's cam
paign fund. 1t can't do it with places
and franchises in the crown colonies.
They will demand bigger game. and
the American people will constitute it.
The trust robbery, the tariff discrimi-
nations, the armor plate and army CON
tract steals, of which complaint has
been made, will go on ut morrier
pace, while the billion dollar ship sub
sidy job Will find other treasury loolins
enterprises to keep it company. The
Republican party will be bounded by
It's creditors. and. with all its inGenu
ty in getting taxes out of the people
and into the pockets of n fcw.) it will
not be able to meet it's obligations with
out mourning the hatred of an outraged
electorate.
For any party. however ably led and
however unhampered. the administra
ton of this government ror the next
four years would be fraught with diff
culties and perils to that party and to
the American people. Weakly led,
hopelessly to special inter
ests, the chances are ten to one that
the Republican party goes on the rocks,
and If the country keeps off it will be
lucky

TIE NEW PROGRAM.

Vice Chairman Hull, of the Republi-
can Congressional COMMITTEES. ana also
of the Military Affairs Committee OIL
the House. after n conference with Re
publican leaders in Chicago, gave out
an authorized interview outlining the
Republican program for the short SEES
sion of Congress this winter. For the
benefit of those who asserted that mill
tarism and South batting were not OH
the Republican program, the following
extracts are submitted:
"As soon as the House meets next
December i will introduce II bill for
the REORGANIZATION of the army with
n view to increasing the number OF
regulars. If the Democratic
Senators defeat it by diatory tactics,
then there will lie nothing for president
Mckinley to do but summon tue new
Congress in extra session iminedlatety
after the 4th of next March. Ihere
must absolutely be some legislation Tor
an increased army. The people have
sustained President McKinieYs course
in the Philippines. in China and in
Cuba. and we will need our troops In
all three of those countries for some
time to come
SO much for the military part of the
program. e-Chairman Payne. of the
National Committee indicated what
the South might expect. He said: Il
hope the election will open up q new
era in the South. At the present the
South is neither Democratic nor he
publican. 1t is a government of fraud.
1t is simply anarchy. 1 do not believe
that Congress should longer permit the
Acknowledgement of any of its citizens
by a Southern State without reducing
the representation of the State in Con-
gress proportionately.
at know that the Democratic Sena-
tors might talk such bill 30 death at
the coming short session. especially il
we try to pass an army bill at the
same time. But If we can't pass the
bill next winter we can wait until the
next Congress meets. when our major
ity in the Senate will be so large that
filibustering by few Democratic Sena-
tors will be impossible"
In the past there have usually been
found in the United States Senate
few Republicans of sense and conser
vatism. That such will be found there
this time is the countrys only posi-
bility of escape from another orgie OF
sectional and class legislation.

THE DANGER OF THE KENTUCKY
SITUATION.

Conservative men of all parties Will
note with apprehension and disgust
that the country is threatened with
another election contest in Kentucky.
1t is unfortunate for Kentucky, for the
South, for the whole country. Ken
tucloy viii suffer in it's reputation. its
peace and its business from this bedlam
Of politics. The South will suffer, be-
cause the Republican party flushed
with recent triumph and inspired with
a recrudescence of sectionalism, Is
seeking for an excuse TO follow high
handed courses toward this section.
The country will suffer because all of
this will prolong the turmoil insepara-
BILE from elections.
1t is unfortunate that the result was
SO close as to give occasion or excuse
for contest. it is not very creiitable
TO Kentucky that II was close. While
both parties are in n measure TO blame
for the present deplorabc state of af-
fairs the Democrats can claim the credit
OF not having been the aggressors in
the beginning and OF having kept
strictly within the forms OF the law
They can claim the additional credit of
having tried in good faith to repeal the
election law of which the Republicans
complained. and of having been ham
pered and hindered in that work by Re
publicans themselves, in order that the
cry of fraud might be raised if the
Democats should win at the polls.

Neither the country nor the Republi-
