PARIS, Dec. 22.-The attempt Of French
suffragettes to initiate their English sisters
and besiege the Chamber Of Deputies in q
crowd yesterday before the opening Of the
big Church debate proved izzle. A mass
meeting was sum moned for IL O'Clock In
the morning before the Chamber met, but
at that time only Eve women were present
and at the end Of the hour only fifteen had

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The question of State
rights in the United States is prominently
occupying the attention of European pub
hcists, especially in connection with the
San Francisco school incident 1t is natural,
perhaps, that Eurpoean observers should
regard the present form Of the American
Consultation as an anachronism in this
respect.
The Spectator in a long leader to-day
gives us much advice. Under the heading
The Coming Struggle in the United States"
It says: THE incident is the beginning Of
the struggle Of a nation entering into self
conscious life to free itself from the fetters
Of particularism which Constitution more
than a century old has riveted upon it.
Splendid instrument OF government as is
the United States Constitution from many
points of view, it has certain very serious
dement's. 1t was framed TO provide safe
guards against dang snss which long since
disappeared, and to encourage certain forces
which to-day are more in need of control
The States area given wide autonomy;
the nation is checked on every hand by
ultra wires provisions. This was well
enough SO long as the states were little
countries by themselves, cut of by economic
and social CULTS from each other. But
now that there are common problems and
common perils throughout the whole Union,
to arm localities with obstructive powers
is to play into the hands Of reaction and
dishonesty and to make any continuous
national policy impossible.
The people in America have scarcely
as yet grasped the whole meaning of ma
tionality. The spirit wakes in them with
magnificent fire and energy at a crisis,
but they go back to their daily work and
forget about it,
The Spectator recognizes the difficulty
and probable impossibility Of carrying
through three-fourths Of the Legislatures
all the amendments which the needs Of
modern times have made imperative, but
argues that it should be feasible to pass a
general amendment making amendments

John O'Groat's House,

In the reign of James ". of Scotland
John OGroat and his two brothers,
Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at Cath
ness and bought the estates Of Warse
and Dugisby, situated on the northern
extremity of the mainland of Scot
land. In time their family increased
until there were eight households of
the same name. They lived as relatives
and neighbors in peace and amity and
held yearly reunions in the original
OGroat house. At last the question of
precedence arose among the younger
members, and they disputed as to who
should enter the room first or sit at the
head of the table. Old Johnnie O'Groat
was made arbitrator Of the dispute. He
promised that before the next meeting
he would settle the matter to the salts
faction of all. Accordingly he built an
eight sided house in which to hold the
annual banquet. This octagonal house
was fitted with door and a window
on each side and round table in the
center of the room, so that the head of
each family of the O'Groats might
enter by his own door and then sit at a
table which was practically and actu-
ally without a head. John O'Groat's
house became the best known building
In Great Britain. Its site is now
marked only by some grass covered
mounds.
