WOMAN AND THE SUFFRAGE.


New light is thrown on the intense
ly strenuous behavior of the English
women who have been demanding In
person the suffrage, even at the doors
of parliament. by the explanations Of
Mr.. Sidney Brooks. who writes from
London to Harper's Weekly to state
some facts concerning the relative
condition of English and American
women.
American women have virtually no
legal or social grievance. and, there
fore. are not moved 20 such exhibitions
as English women who suffer so many
inequalities with men before the law
Inequalities which extend to the most
important relations of life. such as the
ownership CT property. the making OF
contracts. and the marriage state OF
its dissolution.
For the very reason that the dis
examinations against women. socially
and industrially are relatively so pro
nounced in England. Mr. Brooks be
lieves that the agitation OF English
women will be so stern and systematic
that ~the political status of women in
England will be regulated ON a bssls
of equal suffrage with men" In the
brief period of five years.

TWO PROPOSITIONS.

Two propositions Of paramount i'm
portance are before the people OF
Cairo now, aside from the interurban
project and the several great street
Improvement schemes. One of them
1.-THE ferry boat matter, was temporarily
solved at the Commercial Club meet.
ling last week, by the appointment OF
La committee which is soliciting sub.
Iscriptions from business men amount
ling to $75 per month to keep the boat
lgoing during the remainder OF the
present year. This will do very well
flor the time being. 1t win keep the
| boat in the service between Cairo,
Birds Point and Wickliffe till the new
| year dawns. But that some more sat
lisfactory permanent arrangement can
/ and should be made for next year goes
almost without saying A free ferry
leyery day or on two or three days
|every week. Is what Cairo needs and
should have. This would restore to
us the business of the adjoining
states which is rightfully ours ana
which has been gradually weened
away from us BY unsatisfactory condi-
tions as to the ferriage. How this
may be attained is problem for solu
ton by some OF the able men in the
business life Of Cairo. and the man
who will solve it. and present a prae-
ticable plan win deserve the gratitude
of the community
The other important matter Is the
city hall proposition. The first step
toward reviEing this all-important pro
ject was taken at the council chamber /
Monday night There need be no mis-
givfngs as to this matter, It can b
carried through with little difficu
II things 90 right during the mes
few weeks. Assurance of this wa
given by some of the strong men OF |
the city. who have carried thrcugi
other affairs no less difficult than this
and greater than this in several re
speets. The city has the ground TO |
build upon, 1t has the men who can |
provide the money, and all il needs |
at present is an Interchangeable detern
lnation to have the building. A strong |
committee has been chosen to take |
charge of this matter: Mayer Par |
sons, Aldermen koehler. Thomas,
scullin. Messrs. J. Fl. Galligan. J.
Aisthorpe, Il. A. Smith. NJ r. Gilbert, |
Chas s, Carey, and they can be de |
pended upon to find way
or course, very important factor |
will be the citys revenue. Material |
or any reduction in this
would be serious in checking improve
ments OF all SORTS. But such con
tingency, while 1t is well not to ignore
It In planning for the future. need not
cool the ardor OF the committee which
has been chosen. for 1t may be that
he contingency referred to will not
present itself and the committee can
have its plan ready to present at the
first favorable moment.

CAIRO NOT TO BLAME.

From comments on the Interurban
situation In last evenings Citizen one
might infer that the contemporary
had definite and positive information
that the Mckinley people" had fin
ally abandoned the Cairo project. AT
any rate. the Citizen endeayored to
anticipate such action BY "the McKin
ley people" and to find excuse or jus
LITIGATION for it.
This would seem a little out OF or
der for newspaper which has
hithfrto posed as an ardent friend OF
an interurban railway for Cairo.
True, there was some reason to doubt
its sincerity when 1t advocated the
passage Of ordinances which, accord
Ing to Judge Lansden's opinion to the
city council, 1did not require the In
terurban company 10 construct an in
terurban road OF any kind or descrip.
tion" The attempt to force such an
ordinance through the city council Of
Cairo, and the Citizens frantic, al
most fierce, advocacy of 1t, very
properly aroused suspicion in the
minds OF thinking men. II may be
assumed, as a matter of charity. that
the Citizen was carried away by un-
reasoning enthusiasm In its question
able course then; but it will be more
difficult to find explanation for its at.
tmept to make excuse for the aband-
0nment of the project by "the Me.
Kinley people" at a time when all
elements in Cairo are united on the
project and the chance for success in
that respect is better than it ever was
before assuming the Mckinley peo-
pie" We're ever really in earnest in
the matter
The esteemed citizen is especially
wrong when It seeks to place the
blame for the delay upon ''the people
OF Cairo"
