schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
a tariff war with the United States, is,
the climax to protracted interchange
OF correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg, in
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German
trade with other governments that have
made great concessions to obtain the
minimum tariff in Germany, without
any amelioration of our schedules
against German goods entering this
country, ranks as one of the notable
works of statecraft in several decades
of the recent history of the American
foreign office. Had Secretary Root not
already given ample promise of being
diplomat of the first class, he would
now be hailed as the new stellar light
in international politics.
All Done in a Month";;
Only month before the action Of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently inexorable in it's posi-
ton that the maximum rates would be
enforced on March 1.
In the light of the reichstag's action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
colossal bluff had been attempted, and
pushed to the last moment by Germany.
But this, it is understood here, is not
the case. The seed of education as to
the result of the tariff war, which Mr..
Root had been sowing, did not sprout
until within the last few weeks; then
its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thor
oughly familiar with all the premises
and sound in his understanding of what
the results would be of any course pur-
sued by Germany, and that he could
not be shaken from his position of
polite regret that no concession was
possible at this end of the wire, the
German statesmen quickly went to
| their reichstag, and had legislation
passed deferring the trouble.
Had the department here shown
signs of hysteria, or had Secretary
Root not fully appreciated the several
angles of the case or had he made ex-
cited efforts to have Congress act hur-
riedly in giving Germany concessions
before March 1. the Germans would
have decided that the United States
could be coerced by actually applying
the maximum tariff, but Mr.. Roots
placid explanations that nothing at all
could be done here. either before OF
after March 1. had an exceedingly
ouieting effect upon German tarin
opinions.
Secretary Roots impassive attitude
which was so remarkably effective in
this case is all the more notable, in
view of TIE flood of excited protests
that have come to Washington from
associations of farming, manufacturing

Great Courage to Withstand Rebuffs

1t required great courage to under
take this work at the time and in the
manner she did. But she possessed
that requisite and exercised it on
many occasions. She never faltered,
never lost heart, though she was con-
stantly subjected to ridicule, calumny
and opposition. Few women were
brave enough to follow her in those
days. In 1852 she addressed large
convention of men teachers. A clergy
man who was present complimented
her afterwards.

"but 1 had rather see my mother

Miss Anthony's Remarkable Bat
tie Against Ridicule and
CaIumny.

Susan Brownell Anthony was born
1876 years ago, in the HickSite Quaker
settlement at South Adams, Mass, and
was as quiet and gentle and obedient a
little Quaker maiden as any of her
playmates in that tranquil spot. Her
life was uneventful until she took up
teaching and went out into the world.
She was 26 years old when she made
her first fight for the right Of suffrage.
It was for the right to vote at tenn
perance meeting which was dominated
by young men. The Sons of Temper
ance were holding convention at
Albany, N. Y. and the Daughters OF
Temperance were invited to meet with
them. Susan was one OF the Daugh-
ters who accepted the invitation. Ear
" in the proceedings the young women
discovered that their position in the
convention was purely an honorary
one. The men did not propose that
they should have any voice in the pro
ceedings. 1t was against scripture
and against her natural sphere that
woman should raise her voice in the
councils of men, were the arguments
Of the men in answering the protests
Of the women and in refusing theiI
petition to be allowed to vote.
Suddenly a tall, slender Quaker girl
arose from her seat and, followed by
six others, marched out of the convent
ion hall. The leader was Susan E
Anthony. It was her first rebellion
against that order Of things which
gave men a monopoly Of power. She
Immediately set about organizing the
Women's New York State Temperance
Society. That was the real beginning
Of what has been her life's work IL
which the central theme has ever beer
equal suffrage for the sexes.

been elected by the usual majoritics.
In the West and East tho states that
were aligned two years ago in the
democratic or republican columns show
no material changes. The republicans
retain control Of Congress by good
majority.

and Independence League candidate
The latest returns available show that
Mr.. Hughes. while losing nearly all Of
the principal cities of the State. was
successful by about $4,000 plurality
The rural districts brought about the
republican victory.
In New York city the Tammany-Ind

successful with possibly one exception
over the candidates named by the nom

Massa chusetts has re-elected Curtis
Guild, Jr. republican, as governor over
District Attorney Moran of Boston. who
was the candidate OF tho Democratic
party, the Independence League and the

In Chicago IT. is estimated that the Inde-
pendence League ticket polled 1900 but
there was republican plurality for the
State officers.
Pennsylvania has elected Stuart. republi-
can, governor over a fusion opposition By
the usual republican plurality.
In Rhode Island. James II. Higgins
democrat, is elected governor.
The constitution of the new state Of

Diseases, Pure Food.

Rutland, Nov. The Vermont State
board Of health has declined to assume the
double role Of health board and state tu-
berculosis commission as provided by a
Bill introduced into the house and now
before tie Legislature and at the sugges-
'i.p f Dr. c. 5. Caverly of this city, pres
dent of the health board a new bill will be
introduced into the Legislature re-estab-
fishing the tuberculosis commission.
The Old tuberculosis commission whose
terms Of office are soon TO expire in their
last biennial report recommended tnat the
beard be discontinued and that the at,-
nual appropriation DO turned over to the
State board of health to carry on the
work.
President Caverly Of the health board
when asked about the matter this after
noon said: "A majority Of the State
board OF health has decided that it will
be impossible for the board to devote the
necessary time 10 tuberculosis work in
addition to it's regular duties. The work
requisite for keeping track of contagious
diseases, working out the water supply
question and attending to the require
ments of the pure food law are becoming
moro and more exacttng and II they
should put the tuberculosis work upon us
it would have 10 be attended to in slip
shod manner simply because Of lack Of
time To give an example OF the time
required for this work I Will say that one
section of the proposed new law requires
that the board hold two meetings year
in each county. In view Of this | hava
proposed that a bill be introduced pro-
viding for the establishing of tub"r-

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Returns from the
city and county were slow tonight. and
at eleven o'clock it was impossible to
give accurate figures. Enough is known
however to make certain the Republican
party has carried Chicago by 10000 for
Smulski for State treasurer and the
county by 10000. The scratching OF bal
lots was so extensive that no returns on
congressman were available within six
hours after the close of the polls The
returns at the time indicated the election
OF the republican candidates in tho second,
third sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth dis
tricts. In the first district the vote was
close with Emerch, democrat, slightly
ahead of Madden, republican. In the
fourth and fifth Districts the democratic
candidates were also slightly in the lead.

Gratis gained two congressman. Caldwell
