On N. Dynamite ships.

There is a service whose conditions
are little known to the outside world,
that Of the men ON the dynamite ships
that lurk In the shadow OF Canvey Is
land. 1t once happened that a cargo
boat took fire near Canvey island. The
crew could not extlngulsh the flames,
the vessel had to be abandoned, and
the tide carried her straight for the
dynamite ships. By miracle the
blazing hulk steered safely between
them. But the tide turned, and with
1t back again she came. Another mir
acle and the floating inferno missed
them all a second time. A spark from
her blazing timbers, the least shock
from a collision and she had exploded
such a mine as would have blown the
half of Essex into Ireland. She float
ed, kissing and splutterlng, down the
tideway and passed away. to burn her
self to the waters edge beyond the
reach of dynamite. And the silent,
lonely men stayed unstirring at their
posts and twice saw the grave open
and close before them. = Army and

viii Mr.. Hearst, of New York, Head

.rcn the Rochester Union.
The result Of the recount OF votes in
the New York mayoralty election Of 1905
will not improve the political prospects
Of Mr.. Hearst. whose journals have per-
sistently claimed his election and de-
nounced Mayor Mcclellan in unmeasured
terms. Here Is the way I'm which a prom
inent New England journal looks at the
matter: The net Hearst gain falls far
short Of destroying McClellan's rather
narrow plurality for New York city, Of
$500 or so. This, IN view Of the loud
claims made by the Hearst newspapers
on his behalf. is calculated 20 injure his
prestige in politics. and will prove Of no
help In forwarding the independence party
movement being engineered by Mr.
Hearst. Its success IN undermining and
supplanting the Democratic party was ex-
ceedingly doubtful. before; IL becomes
more so now, and will evidently have 10

BRITISH SUFFRAGETTES.
Movement Connected with Growing
Social Unrest.

From the Minneapolis Journal
The sudden rise Of the suffrage move
ment in 5tald Great Britain IS some
thing Of a mystery. But undoubtedly Il
Is connected with the number Of social
reforms with which the Liberal admin
lstration has identified itself. II has un-
dertaken educational laws which make
schooling mCTe easily obtained. and in
fact. harder 10 avoid than before. The
government has investigated the cases Of
breakfastless children and has declared
in favor OF adding 10 the meager meals
Of the home something sustaining when
the child arrives at the school. II has
promised and worked out IN detail plan
Of Old-age pensions. Now ii happens that
all these are subjects which women can
understand and which appeal directly 70
their sense OF citizenship. They feel as
though here were tangible something's in
politics 20 which they would be glad 20
contribute. The objection to woman
suffrage. ordinarily raised that women
take no interest in the problems Of the
campaign. Is often due 70 the sad inef-
fclancy Of the subjects themselves
When something is 10 be voted upon
which has a heart interest. the women
are there. Well. the present Liberal gov
ernment Of Great Britain has taken up
more subjects that are just primed with
emotional explosives than all its prede-
cessOrs combined. They have touched
the women. and this accounts at least

Those fine distinctions of things judicial

tain Of infantry. who was charged with
being drunk on duty. in violation Of the
thirty-elghth article Of war" il being
specified that he appeared az the pay
table in an intoxicated condition. TO the
scandal and disgrace Of the service" The
accused officer, in the introduction Of his
defense, fled objection to the expression
Ito the scandal and disgrace Of the serv-
ice il being held that the offense was
not Of so fragrant a character as 10 be
either a scandal or q disgrace. the con-
duct Of the officer possessing no such
elements Of boisterousness and disorder
as would naturally create scandal and
disgrace. Besides. he was not performing
any duty. was in command of nothing.

charge should be amended so as 70 read

order and military discipline. in violation

was less serious than being tried under
