The world is governed by three
boxes, said an American wit of a cen

lot-box and the bandbox."
Between the first two of these great
governing powers no one questioned
the natural alliance; but that the sex
whose box was the bandbox should
also claim right to use the ballot

Half a century later, during the Civil
War, Horace Greeley, the famous edi-

lie meeting, to the pioneer Suffragist
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the bullet

want to vote, are you ready to fight?'

Prince Albert of Belgium, next heir to
his uncle's throne, has arranged to sail
mt the end of next month for the Congo,
with the object of making a thorough
inspection of what was until recently
the misnamed free state, but which Is
now Belgium's great colonial depend
ency. Prince Albert proposes to spend
three or four months in the colony and
his investigation of the conditions there
will be of the most searching order. The
announcement of this project of his has
given universal satisfaction. for Prince
Albert, who spent the best part of year
in this country about year ago, is not
only the most popular scion of the reign
ing house in Belgium itself, but also en-
joys abroad as great respect as among
his own COuntrymen. Without being any
way a prig, his life has been SinGularly
free from reproach, and though devoid
of anything in the nature of pedantry he
is extremely studious and determined to
find out things for himself, no matter at
what pains. Very broad-mindcd and
free from prejudice, he admits that
number of the doctrines of the Repub-
Leans and even of the Socialists in Bel
GUM are worthy of consideration and
even of commentator. and he is on
friendly terms with many of the Social.
list and labor leaders in Belgium.

money and thus be permitted again
