to silence him when he had come as q friend
and an ally and was leading member Of a gov
ernment which had agreed to leave the franchise
for women an open question IN the new reform
bill. They were defeated after two hours
struggle but their irrational conduct has created
widespread disgust and prejudice because Of
their lack of self-control and good sense.
The suffrage movement in spite OF the law
less and unseemly scenes enacted during the
last two years, has made remarkable progress.
A majority of the Cabinet favor full polit

Prime Minister has pledged himself to allow the
Commons to decide whether proposals for
woman suffrage shall shall not be added to
the reform bill at committee stage This
promise implies that either next year or the

House of Lords responsible for the fate OF the

house Parliament will be dissolved and woman
suffrage will be OF the most conspicuous
issues of the election. The question Of votes for
persistent energy and. as Mr.. Gladstone used
TO say it now holds the field" If the risks of
reaction can be avoided, and the wishes Of the
women OF the country clearly made known the
leaders will be within measurable distance of

of $50 stewards virtually on duty as speclaI
constables, and the ejectments were managed
by them as decently possible in a majority
of instances; but the conduct Of some or the
suffragettes highly provocative and not
a few Of the male spectators lost their heads
in the whfrling excitement and roughly han
died the shrieking suffragettes- It was an OF
fensive and a shocking spectacle. which excited
bad blood and evil passion The leaders or
the belligerents are now protesting against the
indecent mauling and rough and tumble treat
ment received. and are urging that the regula-
ton of similar meetings shall be entrusted to
strong muscular women instead of 10 men. They
want to retain the privileges of the weaker sex
while they are violating all the decencies Of
public life in their struggle to obtain the rights
OF the stronger sex.
The most disastrous effect OF the continuance
of the aggressive tactics of the suffragettes is
the formation of demoralizing habits OF work
When the suffrage agitation was renewed two
years ago with complete change of tactics and
an open alliance with labor politicians the
vagaries were justified the ground that moth
ing had been accomplished by dress parade de-
bate, and that 1t was necessary for women to
make public nuisance of their cause IN order
to command attention for it and to obtain the
ballot Many thoughtful men, while disliking
the new methods of advertising the movement,
were disposed to condone them as necessary and
to favor woman suffrage, since the politics of
the future promised to be largely occupied with
social questions and the cooperation of the
sexes seemed a useful expedient for working
them out. These conservative Onlookers ex-
pected the suffragettes to alter their tactics
when the question of votes for women was fairly
before the nation. and the reluctant Prime Min
lister had suggested how 1t could be incorporated
in the coming reform bill without a struggle over
ii between parties. There has been no change
of methods; the agitators have been more un-
manageable and unreasonable than ever. and
unenviable notoriety fer foolish women has
seemed more important than the conversion of
the nation to tho principle of joint political
ton of the sexes. What guarantee is there that
the same obnoxious manouvres will not con-
finue II women allowed TO vote? That is
consideration which is frightening many sup
porters OF the movement and driving them into
ths ranks of the anti-suftrsge party. l. n. F.
