woMAN's SUFFRAGE.

With every legislative session that comes in at Hartford the committee which has those matters in charge al- ways gives a hearing to the womans s suffrage enthusiasts in a most polite but meaningless sort of way. There has usually been great interest in the hearing, not so much because the leg islators and frequenrers of the capi- tol building have any great enthusi- asm for the cause which the ladies so diligently go to the State capitol to argue, as that they look upon the speeches as mere matters of enter tainment and sensation. If the cause of woman's suffrage is not growing in the number of it's adherents (and we know not but that it may bel, it is at least growing in its demonstra- tlons. From London. where the suf- fragists have made street sensations. accompanied with not few arrests. the agitation has spread to New York city and now to Albany
 Fortunately for the cause of the suffragists, if indeed their cause has any hope of ultimate success, they have not made such fools of them- selves on this side of the water as they i,r, reported to have done on the oth- CT side of the mill pond.

SOME JUST PROTECTION.

Business is business, but the decis- ion of the United States Supreme court upholding as constitutional the Oregon statute providing that no wo- man or girl shall be employed in any mechanical establishment, factory or laundry more than ten hours day has in 1t that which is and should be above business. It recognizes that the inter- ests of the human race. now and in future generations, are above those of the individual which are measured by the right of free contract. Counsel for a laundry proprietor in Portland who attacked the Oregon law set up the contention that it was an arbitrary in- terference with the woman workers right to contract to sell her labor. The right of individuals to make binding contracts heretofore has received fre- quent and emphatic recognition in Su- preme court decisions But the defend CTS of the Oregon statute contended that this right to liberty was subject to such reasonable restraint of action as the State might impose in the exer- else of the police power for the pro- tection of health. safety, morals and the general welfare. The Supreme courts decision, written by Justice Brewer, points out that the sexes diff fer in structure of body" in physical strength and capacity for long-contin- ued labor, particularly when the labor is done standing. Above all the sexes differ fin the influence of vigorous health upon the future well-being of the race" This difference, the court holds, justifies 8 difference in legisla- tion. The needs of motherhood cannot be ignored in considering the terms of woman's employment. Laws enacted for her protection may be sustained. says the court, even when similar laws applied to men could not be sustained
 Here is good law and good sense. The United States Supreme court has again shown itself well entitled to the respect and honor in which it is held.

10. THE SMART INDIAN.

It used to be Lo, the poor Indian! but it has been To, the smart Indian! since Senator Owen of the new State Of Oklahoma made himself famous by his speech in the United States senate the other day Senator Owen, though called an Indian, is really only half Indian, his mother being a Cherokee and his father white man. But both the white part of him and the Indian part of him made the senate sit up and take particular notice when he talked to it. Veteran observers say 1t was never more surprised It ap- parently hadn't expected much from Oklahoma but Senator Owen made 1t understood that he was from Okla homa and that he had arrived
 So it goes in this wonderful coun- try. New thinkers, new orators, new men of power in all branches of ef- fort are constantly coming to light. Just now it seems to some that there Is reason to fear that the country may have to get along without, the great financial and industrial leading it has had. It is true that most of the great financial and industrial leaders are growing old, but other such lead CTS will arise and shine. And like the new senator from Oklahoma, they will appear surprisingly

tcal statement that I firmly believe that the decision of this matter will ultimately rest with the women them selves. What the women in this State really want and I do not mean by that a numerical majority, but l mean the force of opinion among the intel ligent women of the State, who will form the public opinion of women with regard to this question-that whatever the women in that sense really want they will have. That de- mand on the part of women will be in the course of time irresistible and the question is simply what do the women want? For the men, the vot- CTS of the State, who will pass upon this subject when it is presented, will eventually. in my judgment, act in ac- cordance with the demand which they feel actually exists on the part of those who will be affected py the change"
 And right there lies the pith of the matter. The great majority of the wo- men. realizing that their true sphere is the home, are not crying for the right of suffrage They are content that their wishes are reflected in the votes of their husbands and brothers and fathers. They are cognizant of the fact that if they had the vote and did vote the same as the male part of the family they would be but doubling the number of ballots to he counted on each side of the question at issue; and that if they voted diff. ferently, the straining of the home
 ties could only be the logical result.

AN ATTRACTIVE EXPERIMENT.

This evening the confidence of Nor ris Steinert in his ability to inspire the music lovers of New Haven With his own belief in their power to pro- vide themselves, with the material at hand, with first class opera, will be put to it's test He has already been largely instrumental in demonstrating that in other fields of artistic endeavor the talent of the city is equal to the demands made upon it. There is in eX- istence d first class orchestra, first class oratorio society and a peoples choral union of splendid capacity. He now suggests in a practical way that opera be added, not as an experl- mental enterprise entered upon ab- stractly, but as concrete illustration of the power of New Haven to do it's own entertaining while it does it's own thinking.
 In the first place one must confess to an admiration for the grit of Mir Steinert. Not satisfied with its success full display in business he Is determ- ined to try out the musical enthusiasm of the city in which he lives. His ar gument is not at all complicated. He reasons that in a city of this size, made up of every conceivable temper ament, there is artistic material enough for any purpose. It merely remains for some one to dig 1t out and put 1t to convincing use. He has therefore dug away with the as sistance of MT Dessauer and from what may have been once the raw material of the city claims to have made a good and acceptable product in music building, He promises in fact surprise in the way of culture tVNNiotivh' anu piruiNls thdt ic N9li easily be able 10 so stir the enthusl- asm of the community that grand opera as more or less steday diet will be added at once to the musical menu of each season We can heartily wish him every possible sue cess in his elevating undertaking. If he succeeds he will have done much for the spiritual good of New Haven.
 While Mir Stenert has already done much in preparing this artistic assault upon the better nature of this people, to reach the success he has in mind he needs the support of the general public and of the local philanthropy ists.We may already agree that he has proved his point; New Haven is capable of producing grand opera with home talent The next step is for the people of New Haven to show in practical manner that they want grand opera of their own making. In other words the fate of the Steiner' experiment lies now with the people of New Haven May their delibera- tions be favorable.

Is Farrngut Forgottcnf
,The Baltimore News.)

"
 The memorial window unveiled in the new chapel at Annapolis last Fri day to the late Admiral Porter calls attention to the fact that the most dis tinguished naval officer of the civil war is without recognition in this building which is intended to be the valha la of our naval heroes. There is no memorial there to Admiral Farra- gut, certainly one of the greatest men who ever commanded an American ship. Unless congress takes steps to see that his magnificent services are properly commemorated by some worthy memorial in this chapel, it looks as though if would not be done at all. Farragut was a southerner, who fought for the preservation of the Union. The value of his services Ia the government cannot be overes- timated, while he left an example of heroism, intrepidity and resourceful- ness that will live for ages as an in- centive to the navy. The window in memory of Admiral Porter was the gift of the class of 1869. a class which pass ed through the academy during his su- periniendency. Farragut was not a product of the academy, and it is not likely that the service will interest it. self in seeing that he is commemora cd in this shrine. Ii would be a grace full thing if congress saw 10 it that the chapel shall not be without indication that the country remembers the hero of Mobile bay.

A HARAssED DEMON.

We suppose that what is known as the demon rum will continue to get into necks where It ought not to, but just now it is getting 1t in the neck itself The talk Is that 1t will soon be debarred from riding in the Pullman cars, because the Pullman company doesn't want to get into trouble with the anti-saloon. laws that have been adopted in the various States. If the demon has feelings it will hurt them to find itself unable to travel on the splendid Pullmans.
 A curious attack on the demon is being made in Seattle, and if it is successful the result of the success will be watched with much interest Seattle is soon to vote on novel pro position. It is proposed to have in the city, which contains 100000 peo- pie, a saloon district, which will be one mile long and one-quarter of a mile wide All saloons must be located in this district No saloon will be al lowed on the corner of a street and not more than two Tn block Licenses are to be granted for five years to reputable persons and may be trans ferred to persons of equal reputation. This attempt to segregate rum selling and to some extent rum drinking doesn't ssem very sensible and per 1t is.

THE THEORISTS.

The esteemed Providence Journal is keeping close watch of the progress and prospects of the currency reform bill of Senator Aldrich It sees that the opposition to it is increasing, and 1t says The senior Senator from Rhode Island has his hands full meet ing the arguments of his critics; and if the bill is enacted into law it will be a tribute to his great influence and powers of persuasion. Certainly the measure is not ideal; certainly it per- petuates and strengthens an unscienti- fic currency system; and it is further charged that 1t is drawn to the ad- vantage of New York as opposed to the West and South. But the theor- ists may as well make up their minds to the fact that it Is the Aldrich bill or nothing
 The theorists" have. we suppose made up their minds that 1t would be better to have nothing than the Aid rich bill. They realize that 1t Is emergency legislation and they also realize that if 1t should 20 through it would tend to postpone the real action that Is needed.
