To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: a correspondent of The Tribune asserts that
In England, for great many years past public
interest in the political enfranchisement of women
has steadily declined The first petition for
an suffrage presented 10 Parliament. in 1857 was
signed by 1l,O00 women. The petition pre-
sented to the members of the last Parliament was
signed by 257 600 women. The same correspondent
says that womens municipal has not had
any appreciable result in the Improvement Of
LEGAL government" Mr.. Gladstone who was op-
posed to fun suffrage for women acknowledged
that they had exercised their municipal and local
franchises without detriment. and with great ad-
vantage" Lady Randolph Churchill and the band
of highly conservative Engshwomen who a few
years ago sent In petition against full Parlia-
mentary suffrage for women careful
plain that they had objection municipal
suffrage and even thought its responsibilities had
had beneficial effect the characters of women.
Speaking OF poor law relief, your correspondent

mainly by men This is true in the sense that
the majority or poor law guardians are men; but

NY heart was heavy, for its trust had peen
Abused, its kindness answered win with ioul wrong
So turning gloomy from my felloW men

The green mounds of the village purlal pace;
Where bordering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level; and how, soon or late
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face,
And cold hands folded over still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave

Swept all my pride away, and trembling ! forgaVe

Deputy Commissioner Gibson of the Department
Of Street Cleaning. when asked for an explana-
tion, said:
The city has to have a lot of outside help in
carrying away ashes and street litter. Mr..
Daley has been doing work of this kind for
years and has ample facilities for doing it. He
does it cheap any one. and does it we'll.
The law gives the right to let contracts in
portionment and the Corporation Counsers Of
flee considering the advisability of letting
the contract for towing for a period of five
years to the lowest bidder. Until that is done
the department will doubtless need the services
of Mr.. Daley and others. Mr.. Daley finds his
own dumping ground for the refuse.
Controller Coer said:
Two years ago the manner of splitting up the
| contract for towing, that it became
| competitive, investigated by this office
! Under the law the Street Cleaning Department
has greater latitude in this respect than of
| the other departments. So far l know Mr.
Daley is not receiving any more than other tow
| ing concerns would charge for the same work.
Some of the city officials assert that the tow
! ing concerns are in a trust, and that DaiIey's
! charges are on a par with the charges of COM
panies like the Dalzeu and Moran companies
| Last year the city paid S6IO,S64 90 for dispOs
