BREAKING UP THE CONvENTS.
The Government Dispensing Monks
and Nuns I'm Mexico.

City of Mexico. May 19.-The breaking
up of the convent of the Csrmelite nuns
in this city is believed to be the begin
ming of a movement all over the country
to drive out monks and nuns living in
communities in disobedience to the reform
laws. There is much agitation of the
matter in religious circles, but the Lib
eral party newspapers commend the firm
action OF the government. Efforts are
making to get the dispersed Carmelite
nuns to return to their homes in various
states, but they, evidently believing they
can remain here and reunte. refuse all
offers to be sent home free OF cost. Ev-
identity the government has taken this ac-
tion to show that 1t will not tolerate any
violation OF the reform laws enacted dur
ing the anti-clerical regime OF President
JuareZ.

Advocates of woman suffrage have so constantly cited the experience or
 Kansas as evidence of A RI,Ow its success that they AT WOMAN will probably be shocked SUFFRAGE. to learn that even in
 that state certain un- gallant politicians have denounced 1t as a failure. Women in Kansas are el- iglble to local and county offices. ana are permitted to vote for candidates for those positions. Many offices Of those grades are now occupied by per sons of the gentler sex-the entire bor- ougb government of the town of Beat tie. in Marshall county, is in the hands of women-and it has been commonly believed that their participation In po- lltical affairs was entirely wholesome.
 This belief however has been rudely shaken by an unsentimental Kansas statesman of the name of Butler, who has presented In the legislature a bill to repeal the woman suffrage act. Mir. Butler has a serious grievance against the women. He complains that they make offlce-seeking expensive. that the bills for livery hire on election day are enormous because of their desire to be taken to the polls in carriages, and he adds. in a petulant spirit which Is decidedly suggestive of personal disap- polntment. that the candidate who wins their favor Is generally sure to be elected. no matter how deserving his unfortunate opponent may be. Repre- sentative Buller does not stop here. for in a published interview announcing his purpose to urge his repeal bill he makes this sta, tling accusation:
 q do not hesitate to say that In Kan sas City Kan, at least, the woman vote is one of the most oorrupting in- fiuences in municipal politics. I do not believe they lack capacity or are that the manipulation is corrupt and the woman vote can be manipulated"
 The first inquiry which this sweeping Indictment suggests Is whether Mir. Butler Is humorist or a slandere-. We may safely leave MT. Butler to the ten Ter inercies of Mrs. Anna Dlggs, Mrs. Mary F. Lease and the other Kansas women whose influence has be- come a potent force In the political activities of that state.
