RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

Once in awhile somebody says a good thing, and says it well. In speaking against the proposed amendment to the Massachusetts constitution striking the word tAnale" from the qualifications of voters, former Representative Charles R. Saunders of Boston said: American freedom depends on the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box. Wom- an suffragists ask complete use of the ballot box, little or no use of the jury box, and entire exemption from use of the cartridge box, on which both the others depend for existence
 Perfectly true. Of course the suffra- gettes want what they want in the way they want It. They want the right to vote, but they don't want the right or the obligation of fighting to support any right. There have been able and efficient female warriors in time past, and there may be few scattered around now. But the suffragettes have no military ardor or skill. We don't say they ought to have. We don't t say they ought not to have all the rights they want without the obliga- tions that rest on men. But 1t is per- haps well enough to have it clearly pointed out that there is still differ ence between men and women.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

Though the English channel tunnel scheme seems to have gone up in smoke again, the hot air still persists. The eminent French engineer, M. Sartiaux, one of the leading authorities on the subject of a chnnel tunnel, lec- tured abut it the other day at Lille. After reviewing various schemes for different types of bridges and ferry boats, he contended that the only prac
 tical scheme was submarine tunnel based on the researches of the late M
 Thome de Gadmond. After dealing with the geological conditions of the scheme, and declaring himself in favor ef the circular form of the tube radl- roads in London, he turned to the ques- tion of cost. Declaring the previous French and English estimates of the total cost too Now, he calculated that a sum of SO,O000O0 would be required. Il6 dIllllittl W hliAS SAEChUfA Ntutt' amount in all to $1, 100000, he thought As to the, revenue, the French might expect $7,Oo0oOO to $S,OOO,oOO and the English $7,4OoOOO, aceording to an esti- mate based on receipts for passengers and goods. -...-.-
 After remarking that everything wa: proceeding satisfactorily with the scheme in France, NJ Sartiaux deal

It is pointed out that probably the greatest sufferer from the discontinu- ance of free passes is the Pullman company. Very few of the thousands who received free railroad transporta- tion enjoyed any favors at the hands of the Pullmans. They paid for their berths like other passengers. Riding without cost, they generally felt able to indulge in the luxury of bed. Cut ting Off the bulk of this travel has cut off many thousands of the Pullmans revenue.

The governor of the East African Protectorate while on visit to the little-known trans-Tana districts re- gently gave gramophone concert to the natives. He found that these con- certs had great effect in promoting good understanding with the wild peo- pie. While he was in the Kenia forest it was only by means of the gramo- phone that savages were induced to leave their retreat. On the first occa- sion when they did so the sound of a bugle call so terrified them that they bolted like rabbits.

There Is no question but that Pres

column the last Presidential election.

i'ind. but that such a fund was rails.
