THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WARRINGTON. d. G.. APRIL 8, 1901.
Gen Macarthur continues to send
good news from the Philippines.
The surrender Of the armed Filpinns
is practically a continuous perform
ance. and no fighting at all is going
on. This is so gratifying to Presi-
dent Mckinley that he has decided
that the total strength of the regu-
lar army shall only be enlisted up to
three-quarters of the one hundred
thousand men authorized by Con-
gress, unless later advices from
i4sn. Macarthur shall make it plain
that a larger number will be neces-
sary. Il can be stated on the high
est authority that Aguinaldo will not
be allowed TO come TO the y. S. as
long as he is considered CONSIDER
ed prisoner, and how long he will
be considered a prisoner will depend
upon how he conducts himself, and
upon how those who have been his
followers conduct themselves In
other words, he and the other Fill
pinos who have been in revolt
against Il U. S., must live uD tn
the cath Of allegiance thy have
taken to the u. s., before they are
entirely freed from surveillance
Now that things are getting in a
satisfactory condition in the islands
this government is fully determined
that neither Aguinaldo or anyone.
else shall he given an opportunity
TO undo the good work that has
been done. Among the numerous
suggestions, some humorous and
some serious, made to the War De-
partment, as to tbs disposition of
Aguinaldo, is the following, from a.
prominent official Have his name
changed by law to George Washing
ton Aguinaldo, then set aside 80
square miles of unoccupied govern
ment land as a territory, and make
@. w. Aguinaldo its governor, ON
condition that Ex-Governor Bout
we'll, Edward Atkinson, Erving
Winslow and other anti-imperialist
leaders shall take up quarter sec
tions there. Then leave them alone
to work out their ideas of govern
ment, and the rest of the American
people will find out how the thing
ought to be done"

THE OPPONENTS
ELASTIC YARDSTIcK.

Opponents Of e4lal suffrage have
made wonderful linvention-an elas-
tic yard stick. BY judlcious use Of
it, they propose to prevent women
from voting. Whenever any wo-
man does an unwise thing, they
charge It against the whole body Of
women, and gravely affirm that ali
women are unfit to vote A few days
ago some of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, in a contested
election, lost their temper and got
into a verbal scrimmage, which was
telegraphed from Maine to Mexico as
an evidence of women's unfitness for
self-gOvernment. The Boston Daily
Herald, with owl-like gravity, in a
leading editorial, contended that:
"The Washington action does not
render it probable that women with
full suffrage rights would be sue
cess in public affairs, since if women
are to have the suffrage all women
must be admitted to it. The misbe-
having Washington women must
come in as well as the more properly
cOnducting-woman suffragists."
Yet, the same day, the Herald re-
corded the fact that a number of Irish
members of Parliament refused to
obey the authority of the Speaker,
and had to be forcibly removed by a
squad Of policemen. Whereupon the
Herald remarks that:
"The rumpus may be taken as
proof that the Irish factions are even
more thoroughly united than was
are starting out TO follow
the tactics laid down by their great
Parliamentary leader, Parnell."
Here is the elastic yardstick applied
respectively to the Irishmeu and the
women. The Herald does not pro-
pose to disfranchise ali Irishmen,
That very day the Herald chrOni-
cled an assault committed by Senator
j. II. Geiger, Of Montana, upon A.
B. Keith:
'gIast night the men met in the
lobby Of the Senate chamber at the
close of the extra session. Geiger
rushed at Keith, who struck him a
heavy blow on the forehead with
loaded cane. The Senator was stun
ned. Before he recovered Keith had
walked away. Senator Geiger is now
searching for Keith with revolver,
having threatened to kill him on
sight. A shooting affair is regarded
as certain when they meet"
But the editor does not suggest the
Acknowledgement of all the men of
Montana; not even of the Montana
Senator. Again the elastic yardstick.
Five days before, "a fierce fisticuff
fight" was chronicled between the
German and Czech deputies in the
Austrian Reichrath. But nobody
suggests that all Germans and Czechs
should be forever DISTINGUISHED.
Mrs. Nation enforces Kansas law
by smashing illegal saloons. She is
cited as an awful example Of "women
in politics." But no has proposed to
disfranchise the illegal liquor dealers,
or the county officials who refuse to
enforce the laws Of Kansas. It is
another case Of the elastic yardstick,
always used to the disadvantage of
women. HENRY b. BLACKWELL.

rILL MAKE COUNTER PROPOSALS.


The report from London few days
ago, that the British government will
not accept the amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. but will submit
counter proposals, is not confirmed,
though it would not be surprising If 1t
should prove correct. The same dis
patch stated that in British official
opinion 1t is likely that several months
will elapse before the matter reaches a
conclusion, by which time the treaty
will have lapsed on the basis Of the
senate's amendments. -.r.
As heretofore noted. the time for ex-
change OF ratifications, as provided in
the treaty, ends on March >, SO that if
the time Is not extended the treaty will
fail. IL not disposed OF at that date.
even though the senate be in session
after March 5. 1t is still possible that
The British government will be heard
from before the adjournmentO congress,
but 1t is not probable and consequently
it appears quite safe to assume that
the entire canal question will be de-
ferrcd until the meeting OF tne flIty'
seventh congress. Senator Morgan and
some other of the supporters Of the
Nicaragua canal bill are still disposed
to urge it's passage at the present scs'
sion, without regard to whether the
British government acts upon the treaty
before March 5 or not, but the repub'
licans of the senate are not generally
willing to do this, because such action
might not only be regarded as offensive
by Great Britain, but would also be
embarrassing to the administration. II
is more than likely that the president
would decline to approve the canal bill
II passed under such circumstances
The present indications, therefore. are
that this whole subject will have te
wait Cor the next congress.

BECOMING MORE AGGRESSIVE.

The Beers are daily becoming more
aggressive and it would seem from their
operations that the forces in the field
are increasing. They are almost uni
formly successful in their movements
against the British, while the operations
Of the latter appear to be made to a
great extent without definite informa-
ton regarding the movements of the
enemy. 1t seems most extraordinary
that with his large army Lord Kitch-
ener has done so little to check the
progress of the Beers and some idea Of
the alarm which this is causing the
British is to be gathered from the re-
mark of Sir Alfred Miner that while II
seems improbable the Beers will ever
reach Capctown, such a thing is by no
means impossible.
Meantime the British government Is
apparently taking no very active steps
to supply Kitchener with the rein
forcements for which he has asked
The War office has announced It's pur'
pose to send 10000 mounted troops to
South Africa. but there seems to be
lacking government initiative and or
ganization. A change may come with
the meeting Of Parliament next Thurs
day and it is manifestly necessary IL the
situation in South Africa is not to be
come far more serious for the British
than at present.
