Til wonAN VOTE.

In the four States. Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Ida
no, where women have the full right of suffrage, there was
a decided increase in the woman vote. All these States
were carried by Bryan four years ago. Two gave a major
ity for Mckinley last week and the Republicans gained
heavily in the other two. In "A general way, no division is
apparent in the four States along the sex lines. But there
are a few incidental features of SPECIAL interest. The Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in Wyoming wrote a letter
some time ago, in which he said that the woman vote was
the easiest to get, the easiest to keep and the easiest to
manipulate, of all elements in politics. AS a result, the
Republican candidate for Congress ran 800 ahead OF the
electoral ticket and has the largest majority ever given a
candidate in the State. Two-thirds of the women of Wy
oming, it is stated, voted for Mckinley.
Utah gave the country the greatest surprise of the
election, and the woman vote had something to do with
the remarkable overturn of the Democratic plurality in 1896
of 81 1000. Only one woman ran for the office in Utah and
she was defeated. She was a delegate to the last Demo-
cratic National Convention and. seconded Bryanis nominal
ton at Kansas City. Though president of the Utah Wom-
ans Democratic League, she was beaten for. the lower
house of the Legislature, and the extent to which she RAJ
behind, showes that many women voted against her. Thu
woman vote in Colorado increased from 46, 270 in 1896 tc
S6,9f3 in 1900. Bryan's plurality in the State declined
from $4,000 to 5000, but the falling off was not specially
due to the7womian vote. In Wyoming the women cast nearly
one-third. of the aggregate vote of 1000. No change of
radical mafnre has vet been developed by full woman suffrage
in the four'sma1l States where it is established.

Freight Through Saul, Canals.

During June there passed through
the Sault canals to and from Lake Su-
perior freight to a greater volume than
In any preceding month In the history
Of these water ways. This is as much
as the Suez canal passed for half OF
all last year. 4.107 500 tons In the
arst two months OF the year the Sault
has carried within less than 1000, 900
tons Of the business OF the Suez for all
OF its largest season. In the June
commerce OF the Sault iron ore led. as
usual, with q gross tonnage OF s.4iS 900
tons; there were 1000 900 bushels of
grain and 10000 tons of coal. This,
coal traffic. by the way. Is already all
most half the total of all last summer,
which does not indicate any alarming
shortage Of fuel at the head Of the
lakes the coming winter.

THE TRIBUNE SEES A
DEMOCRATIC EMPIRE"

Since the late returns assure us of an empire the TRIB-
UNE desires to give a few pointers or suggestions to its
Democratic friends.
in the first place, you must remember that there will
be no more primaries, conventions or running for office.
These things don't go in an empire. We are all
subjects-ears, churls, serfs-saves with brass collars on
our necks. But even an emperor needs some helpers, as it
Were, high exeeutioners; 80 to speak, in order to press down
the Grown of thorns on the brow of labor. The TRIBUNE
suggests that office Seekers. apply at once to the Lord High
Chamberlain and Royal Keeper of the Pie Counter for an
Eardorman and a hundred brass collars. Get in early and
secure your commission, The next morning after you get
your commission with the Emperor's seal on it, start out
with an iron heel and a handful of brass collars and cry out
with a deep, gruff voice, 'Avaunt, We slaves! Your bacon
is cooked Then put your iron heel of despotism on the
long, skinny neck of some democrat or populist and snap a
brass collar on just back of his ears and shout 'Ho. funkies.
funky to the king.'' This will furnish an example of
Earl and the chief ruler of a village or city, YOU will have
absolute control over at least seventy-five or one hundred
churls or slaves.
Being an earl, or perchance, a duke, With a dukedom,
you can roll back on your royal dukehighness and shout,
about the hour of lunch, ''Io, Aunkies, prepare the baked
meat and beans for your master!' Forty or fifty slaves
with brass collars and the print of the iron heel of despotism
on their necks, will fall down before their master and cry
out 81 serve! / serve!' The master will then cry out to
one, 'Ayaunt slave, get ne a mint julep!' To another. sHo
funky, make your master a double ~cocktail!o To another.
1sEgad, lackey, a broled sirloin from Tuttles cafe and a
smothered fowl from Emiel, the Dntchmap. Make haste. get
you gone! " And thus will the master order his slaves and
thus will they serve under an Emperor, for these things were
prophesied in the 9th month and 18th year of the reign of
William the Emperor,

PAINTING RACIAL TYPES.


Interesting Experiment. OF a Dutch
American Artist.
Travelling through the Orient and the
Americas. taking portraits Of typical
men and Of various races has,
for a number OF years past, been the
employment OF Hubert Vos, a Holland
err by birth and an American by nat
%uralization. Likcnesses OF exotic per-
SOM have formed his hobby In the
Century Charles de Day tells how Mr..
Vos has succeeded In riding this hob
by: mir. Vos has approached science
from the side OF art. As commissioner
TO tho Worlds Fair from Holland. he
had a chance to see a great OF
ethnic types. not merely in the plals-
ance. but .. tho congress- Of religions.
II was then for the FIRST time borne In
on him that we have no really good
pictures OF the different races Of the
globe. Photographs there are. and on
these everybody relies. But the photo
graph gives too much and too little;
too much OF the accidental and unim-
portant. and often OF the ugly; too
little OF the soul. the selected, the syn
thetic. AS a portrait painter Mr.. Vos
believes that portrait should express
press ancestry and race and the soul of
the individual. Why should he not
select the salient features and charac-
teristics Of a tribe. a nation or even a
race and embody them in one synthe-
sis, expressing what is best and worth
lest of note in the whole? His best
assistant has been a gentle comrade,
his wife, formerly the Princes kaiki-
I lani. of Hllo. in the Hawaiian islands.
Together they pass in review the vari-
Gus rapks OF a given populace, striving
to arrive at n face hat sums up the
chief features OF a number of more OF
less typical countenances. In the gal
lery SO far collected Mr.. Vos has o

somewhat ON the analogy of the COM
posite photograph, except that In the
sketches OF portraits Of the separate
individuals are not mechanically SUI
perlmposed one on the other. but arc
combined in the painters brain"

THE CARDINALS acoNfIDENcE.'

The story of the cycHst who found over the door OF a
Cheshire church the cheerful text, This is the gate OF
Heaven with the modifying postscript, "This door is

of a rather similar kind. Cardinal Manning went one day
to bis publishers for copy of book of his owit-"Conhdence
in Cod The order was shouted down to the stockroom,
whence came the reply, "Manning's 'Contidence in God all

he was just then in a very pessimistic mood, owing to the
apathy, as he thought it, of his clergy about an agitation
(of Mr.. Stead's) with which he sympathized and they dd
not. The Cardinal took the reply as an intended lesson,
and he left Orchard street a wiser and a happier man.

Give the Devil His Due.

lt Is true tnaJ w m. d. bryan nus
led the Democratic party a disas-
ferrous pace since he vaulted into
the saddle. 1t is true that under
his leadership il has suffered two
of the most crushing defeats in its
history. 1t is true that its alliance
with Populism under his dictation
and its adoption of Populistic pol
icies, were the very essence of
political insanity. And yet, all
the blame for the undoing of the
democratic party cannot be justly
laid on the shoulders of this am
bilious Nebraskan. Let us "give
the devil his due"
What was the condition of the
democratic party when Bryan
assumed-or rather, seized-its lead
ershipp Before the close of Grover
C~neveland's last administration the
! country was plunged into hard
; times. As everyone remembers,
the business depression and indus
trial stagnation were appalling.
The free trade Wilson Bill has
done its destructive work. Dis
content was everywhere. The
democratic party dared not go be-
fore the country again on the tariff
issue. II had no issue. 1t had no
prospects. Its leaders were apa-
thetic and hopeless. In effect, they
were ready to turn the old hulk
over to whoever would take
it and run it through the ensuing
campaign. Bryan was the ambi-
6 tious adventurer who accepted the
commissionf He ran it in his own
way. He reached out in all direc-
tons for allies and fused with
everything that would join him.
He took up with the Populist craze
to get away from the deadly tariff
u issue. He a the party with a high
t hand through two presidential
n campaigns, and its ruins are
strewn over two-thirds Of the States
of the Union.
But Bryan was not the wreckeI
n of a sound, healthy and flourishina
4 party, rs some of the more respec-
table Democratic leaders would
believe. He took an invalid in
I charge, administered radical RENEE
t dies, and has brought it to the
, verge of the grave. The Hon
Grover Cleveland and the distin-
Z guished Democrats who framed tn,
free trade bill which closed the
mills and smothered the furnace
4 fires, laid the foundation anc
erected part of the sup~erstructur,
of the party's ruin. On then
e should be placed an importan'
d share of the responsibility. They
hold up their hands in holy horrol
and talk of 'this distressing cam
paign,' but it was the distressing
condition into which their OWL
works threw the country that mad,
such a campaign as the last one 9
: possibility.
Bryan is a failure in statesman
y ship and in leadership, but he die
not produce the cases of gripes
from which the democratic party
has been suffering agonies since
the year when the Wilson bill
d was adopted. Give the devil his
due, and do not make a scapegoat
q out of him.-Kansas City Jour
