THE ENGLISH SUFFRAGE BILL

Gauged from this distance the suf-
fragette movement in England has
seemed too militantly unfeminine to
win sympathy or victory. But we can
not. perhaps. Judge the English wo-
man by our standards of justice.
since the English laws applying 10
the soy are so different from ours
With the same rules Of divorce made
easy for men and difficult for won
en-, and with the children almost in
yariably going to tie father our
women of America might be quite as
aggressive as their sisters across the
seas. For this very reason suf-
fragette triumph in England means
much more than it means with us.
Therefore the recent action of the
honse of commons in voting to pass
the Cancellation measure, bill to
give a million women parliamentary
suffrage, by majority Of ninety
nine, is extremely significant
That the bill on its recall, was
tabled is not regarded as indicative
OF coming defeat. Premier Asquth,
who is convert to woman's suf-
frage. says adjournment is too close
at hand for the measure to come up
again this session, but that the in
dorsement Of the preliminary vote in
sures for 1t a full and careful con
sideration in the autumn, and there
is every prospect of a successful re
suit.
Naturally the suffagettes feel ag
grieved and disappointed at the fall
ure to reach decisive vote, but they
have everything to encourage them
Never before have they been so neal
the goal of their desires, for never
before have they succeeded In getting
bill thus fairly before parliament
and securing for it debate and q
test vote. The autumn session o
parliament will witness the. final pas
sage or the temporary defeat OF thu
bill. We say temporary because thu
women will never rest until SOM
alienation is given them they vii

A Mvatsrious Race.

necessarily weak. yet he had met half
a dozen men who sw0re 10 glimpse
of white Indians with red hair. Other
statements had been made as to the
existence of such race with blue

OUT OF FAVOR.

year. This Is due to the attitude OF
the senatorial committees. who allow
themselves to be Influenced by the
minority candidates. These candi-
dates of course like walkover If it
is possible BY nominating one in a
district the walkover becomes fact.
The state committee is on record
as advising and urging the nomina.
ton Of two candidates for represen-
tative in each district in the state or
102 candidates for the 1873 places. In
this way and in this way only can the
party hope to elect majority of the
members of the general assembly. In
this way and this way only can the
party hope to elect United States
senator. Unless the party through
its senatorial committees does this, il
cannot with good grace eritieise
Democratic legislators for bipartisan
alliances.
There is another feature to this
minority representation business un
der the management of the aforesaid
committees. If the majority party
dominates two candidates and the
minority party one, the voters have
absolutely no choice. The nominees
are as good as elected. The voter
has three votes and only three mer
to choose from Unless more candi
dates are nominated the voter has nc

NOT GUILTY"

AT O'Clock last evening, after ten
days spent in securing a jury, hearing
evidence and expounding the law,
the twelve men who had been ac-
cused by a grand jury of participating
in mob in Cairo on the night or
Feb, 18th last, were adiudged mot
guilty" The verdict will be gener-
ally accepted and applauded as true
verdict with respect to several of the
accused. and more than likely, it will
not be accepted, and denounced as un-
true. with respect to several others
However, having been found in ac-
cordance with the procedure pre-
scribed by law, it stands as a true
verdict with respect to all the &C
cused, no matter what the general
public opinion may be.
Probably no one will deny that on
the night mentioned few men in
this city did make a lawless demon
stration at the court house, their pur-
pose being to enter that edifice by
violence and to lynch a prisoner held
there for a paltry offense; and that
the men were repulsed by the lawful
constituted authority, with disas-
trous effect to some of them. Nor
will II be denied that the community
has suffered greatly because of this
lawless demonstration by a few OF
her citizens. What it suffered in
money spent in the trial Is nothing
what 1t suffered in reputation as a
law-abiding community, with the re
sultant setback in the way Of com
mercial and Industrial prosperity may
not be calculated.

acquitted were not guilty (and some
of them certainly were noD the mer
