Brownsville.

In the Brownsville matter the President
won yesterday with the aid of democratic
votes. His own party in committee stood
five to three against him. The result had
been forecast and therefore occasioned
no surprise. The more important point
is that the battle has just begun, and
promises to wax hotter and hotter. GER
tainly until the Chicago convention. and
maybe until election day in November.
Will the Senate divide as the committee
divided? The democrats will of course
vote with the President. 1t Is good poll
tics for them to support him. BY foster
ing the discomfort now existing in the
ranks of colored voters in the eastern and
middle states they will play into the
hands Of the nominee of the Denver con-
rention. But many republican votes will
be necessary to adopt the majority re-
port of the committee, and much curiosity
exists as to where, and with what
agencies, they are being sought.
So far as the political phase of the case
is concerned-and there is no denying the
Importance of that phase-it applies large
ly to the drum-head character of the
original proceedings. The refinements
and fencings of lawyers, interesting
enough in their way, are "caviare to the
general" That Brownsville was shot up
is incontestible. That suspicion attached
to the colored troopers grew as much
out of the bad blood that existed between
the troopers and the citizens of the town
as out of other facts elected. But the
crime was fixed upon no individual, as
even the majority of the Senate commit
tee confess nor was the charge sustained
that conspiracy of silence existed to
shield the guilty.
And yet all the troopers were discharged
without honor, and thus turned out into
the world dishonored. There is not a
man of them, as matters stand, who is
not stamped with guilt either as a GRIM
inal or shielder of criminals. SO far as
the Presidents action and power 60. This
is the point upon which the Presidents
critics dwell, and will continue to dwell
until the case is finally disposed Of The
drum-head features OF the case cannot be
ooscured or refined away. Nor is the
matter less important because the victims
are men in the humblest walks, and quite
without the average pull that shapes many
things in politics
First the Senate is to act and then the
chicago convention. The republican
party is at the bar, and must plead. And
it will be "a halcyon and vociferous'' ses-
sion at the convention dealing with the
question II the Senate. by a vote COM
posed of majority Of democrats, should
sustain the President.

The Eternal Feminine.

A suffragette once made speech;
An effort stout and long,
Which aimed, all earnestly. to teach
The unenlightened throng.
And there her valiant sisterhood
From near and far away
Assembled with intentions good
To hear what she might say.
She spoke with jealous easerness
In phrases aptly turned:
She felt requited, more or less.
BY what her friends had learned.
But when she talked the matter DER
She found-and courage fed.
They all remembered what she wore
Instead Of what she said!

rights with which, in the case Of the male
sex, the state would not upon any similar

The present tremendous anti-spiritual
movement imports intellectual suicide.
Practical godliness, the life of selfshness
or superfciality, is not new. Every age has
been burdened by the multitude who seem
not to know or care if they have spiritual
nature or possibility. But to-day this takes
shape in definite teaching, both through
the philosophy of profound and scholarly
thinkers, as Haeckle and Metchnikoff and
Marx, and in the vigorous propaganda of
materialistic socialism, which wipes God
and the soul life off the board as negligible
factors.
