aim and ideal of our Association. Our
young state which is-enjoYing the highest
degree of civilization could not have been
accomplished without the work OF women
No restrictions should be placed upon en-.

extension OF the right of suffrage would
remove handicap from the efforts of women
and give them an opportunity to work for
the welfare OF the state. We do not claim
that womans voice in the government would
al once sound the death knell 10 all social
and political evils. But we do believe that a
government representing the interests and
the beliefs OF women and men would prove
itself and is proving itself, where it now

The movement for the enfranchisment of

OctOber's Bright Blue Weather

o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
We cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant;
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their friRges tight
10 save them from the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Withou, sound of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbne twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and on the brooks
In idle golden feightng,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
OF woods tor winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet county haunls
by twos and twos together,
And count like misefs, hour by hour,
Oelober's bright blue weather.
0 suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together
Love loyeth best Of all the year
October's bright blue weather.

WE sHoULD CO., -oPERArE.

The fast mail steamers of the North Atlantic, in the course of each of their voyages, cross the Banks of NeWfound- land, where during the summer hum dreds of fishing vessels are congregated. In thick weather these are in constant danger of being run into and sunk by huge steamers travelling at high rates of speed. Such accidents are not infre- quent and sometimes result in the drowning of whole crews, To reduce to minimum, therefore, one at least of the many risks which the Bank fisher I1en are obliged to take in their dan- gerous calling, the French government is asking that of the United States to cooperate with it in endeavoring to se- cure the establishment of international regulations forbidding the fast mail steamers from crossing the Banks dur ing the codfishing season, which is from the middle of June to the middle of October.
 Already. on its own account, the French government, in renewing it's contract with the Compagnie Generale Tranasatlantique, has had inserted in it the provision that the steamers of this line shall follow route which merely skirts the southern edge of the Banks and does not cross them during the months mentioned. Every infringe ment of this rule, except under the force of necessity, will render the conl- pany liable to fine of two thousand francs. The United States should hasten to join in this humane arrange ment,

 So ran the old hymn, It is evident that there hasn't been much change in the tobacco habit since 1t was writ ten. The people Of the United States consume. according to an official re- port. 40. o.00a pounds of tobacco a year, the consumption per citizen be- ing $40 pounds. When women and children are excluded from the calcula- ton, the rate per male adult is seen to oe very large. As many men do not use tobacco in any form. the smokers and chewers average an astonishing amount of the weed. In Belgium, how ever, the average per citizen is still larger than in the United States, be- ing G21 pounds. In Germany the aver age is 9.44 pounds; in France 2.16 pounds, while in the United Kingdom it is but 1.s5 pounds. The United States gets $65, ,S32, ,102 of revenue from tobacco, while France gets s81, 600 and the United Kingdom s6sSO6,OOo. Germany gets but $16,56 ,OOO

SOME PRETTY GOOD GRASS.

All flesh is grass, saith the Scripture, and if that is so we feel moved to re- mark that there is some pretty good grass in the suburbs of New Haven. This can be seen by anybody who will take look at the people who come to town in the splendid trolley cars that go so swiftly to and fro. It is pleas ure to see the hearty, handsome, happy folks who pile out of these cars when they reach the center of our civiliza- tion. Of course we do not mean to in- sinuate that the people of New Haven are not hearty, handsome and happy too. Far be it from us to do anything like that. They are. But perhaps they are not quite as comfortable looking as the suburbanites. Some of the urban ones are town-born, and of course they feel the weight of that, and life is per- haps a little more strenuous for all here than it is outside. So it is not wonderful if the suburban grass looks a little better than the urban grass.
 We know the dangers of comparison and discrimination in such 8 matter, but we shall have to mildly state that in our opinion the best grass grows out Montowese, North Haven and Walling- ford way. Of course that Is only an opinion, and the gentle reader can take it for what it is worth.

There is peace, but nobody is going to sleep. A Russian colonel of artil- lery stationed in Tashkent declared re- gently that the announcement of Lord Curzon's retirement from the Indian vieeroyalty must have been welcome news to the Russian political and mil itary staffs in Central Asia, and no less gratifying, he was convinced, to the Asiatic department of the Foreign office at St. Petersburg; but all, he added, would be infinitely more pleased if Lord Kitchener were also returning to Eu- rope. "At Tashkent," said the colonel, Lord Kitchener has latterly been re- garded as the British military procon- sul, who, with ar extension of his chief command, is destined to cut the Cor dian knot of the Afghan question by suppressing the buffer State and mak- ing the British Indian, and Russian frontiers in Central Asia contermin- ous." The removal of tn" buffer" he proceeded to argue, was a certain event uality of the near future. Its contin- ued existence imperils the relations be- tween the two empires, and that peril is not unlikely to become acute within the next few years. England's attempt to remove the buffer" he said, would probably throw Afghanistan into Rus sian arms; Russia's attempt to accom- plish the same task would have just, the
