It has only been a few years since the
subject began 10 be agitated It is with
in the last decade that women. burning
under a sense Of injustice, have become
militant on the subject; and yet, in spite
of sturdy opposition-very largely on the
part of sentimentalists-gre progress
has been made all over the world.
In Australia. the federated states
granted the privilege of national sur
frage IN 1902. and. with certain lirnIta-
tons, women there enjoy municipal and
state suffrage. Three years ago. Sweden
granted its women the right TO vote.
Finland not only has granted women the
suffrage. but It has twenty-three women
as active members of the Diet-tnat
Diet that is soon to be superseded by
the Russian autoeracy. Denmark has
municipal suffrage, so has New Zealand;
and in our own country many States
have granted the privilege Of the fran
chise to women.
It is in England, however, that the
noisiest, the most determined. and a
unique battle has been fought by the
women. It is there that the propaganda
has been at it's worst. The women there
forming disorderly mobs. have violated the
laws, invaded the Houses OF Parliament,
besieged ministers. and have broken the
peace. Many of them have suffered ar

to the cause; and amid all Of England's
governmental troubles. the thorn of the
suffragettes has not been the least
sharp.
But it would seem that all this noise

OF a dial at the head of the bed an
alarm may be set to awaken the sleeper
at any hour. When the appointed time

rag time, perhaps-are thrown upon the
atmosphere by means of the same mech
anism that produced slumbers to the
tune Of some Wagnerian melody. Oh

your city has all the facilities TO enter

TO show them than any other city in the
United States. You have Congress here,
which has great attractions. You have
the President OF the United States IN
Washington almost the whole year

ant driveways and a beautiful residential

near Lewes on July II.

suppose. 1t was by no means an out

Many questions have arisen in connec-
ton with Cade's rebellion, and especially
with regard to his personality. one re-
cent writer questions the fact of his sup
posed low birth, on the ground that an
act Of attainder was passed against him
after the rebellion.
But his marriage with the daughter of
an English squire might have given him
some landed property, or at least some
reversionary interest, which would fully
account for such an act. A point of
more Importance as regards the political
significance of the rising Is whether there
was any understanding, az commonly
supposed, between cade and the Duke of
York. X there was. it must be remarked
that Cade was most unfaithful ally. for
among the booty which he seized during
the rebellion were Jewels belonging to the
duke and for which the King afterward
ordered the latter to be recompensed.
