two feet. In Tioga, If Mr.. Baer has
his way, the tracks will be raised to
this same exalted height. And until
he obtains specifications as to Tioga,
Mr.. Baer is unwilling to consider the
elimination of grade crossings any
where else.
In such a fight, the agent of the
corporation never lacks for devoted
service or the devoted servant for
allies. MIR. Baer could not be more
deeply consecrated to this cause If
his eternal salvation depended upon
it. And for allies he has enlisted the
members Of the city councils. They
see an appropriation Of $4,000, 900
available before the election If Mr..
Baer has his way and the possible
oozing of the whole tempting sum
through their fingers If the mayor
keeps on fighting So the two forces
have come together by sort of nat
ural selection.
Mr.. Baer and the councils will ulti-
mately be beaten. Philadelphia's
present temper is too sternly indig-
nant to permit concessions to corrupt
councilmen or unprincipled corpora
ton executives. But even If Mr. Baer's
employer could win in this case. even
IL he were able to save the Reading
tie difference in cost between street
distractions and elevated crossings.
1t is hard to see what personal advan-
tage he could get out Of such a VIC
tory. The man is human and, being
human. must desire the good will of
his fellows. Yet how can he expect
that good will who indifferently en-
dangers the lives of thousands of his
countrymen and imposes suffering on
the whole number for the sake of
mere money? What does he think,
wonder, when he reads of
the children who are carried
under mis- engines and the fam
lilies Of the poor who shiver
through hard winters-because he has
willed 1t so? He must think, il he
is not too hardened to think of it at
all, that he Is merely iocking with
his own, that the griffin has Joined
with the vultures.

Mr. Cleveland and the Ladies

Mr.. Cleveland is out in another
article on woman suffrage. Mr.. Cleve-
land knows where he stands on that
question; he has a habit of knowing
where he stands; he stands firmly.
and he takes pains to let others know
just where he Is.
Mr.. Cleveland is not alone in his
aversion to woman suffrage. There
is reason to believe. as he attempts
to snow. that the great majority of
women themselves are either indif-
ferent or opposed to female suffrage.
Woman is not, and cannot be, sepa-
rate from man. The interests of the
two sexes are one and the same. In
this country her rights are, at least.
as large as those Of man; her duties
somewhat less. The question of
whether she should vote or not is
not one of sentiment; 1t is ques-
ton Of expediency for her and of
probable advantage to the country.
Women change politics less than
pOiltlcS cnange women, says Mr.
Cleveland. quoting from another. 1t
were desirable for her to remain the
helpmate, counselor. and refuge of
our homes rather than that she be-
come the variable, inconstant, tickle.
floating element in our politics.
But, woman doesn't want to vote.
All few Of them care for is the
power to vote. If the right of suf-
frage were conferred upon her, the
lovely creature would curl her hair
with the national tickets and sit on
hustle stuffed with party platforms.
When woman really means to vote
she will do it; even Mr. Cleveland
will have to yield to her. AT present
the question is entirely academic.
