upon them would not be persecution
of the Church. but merely the doing of
equal justice.
The revolt is against Clericalism. not
as 4 religious influence. but as an un-
warranted intruder into the secular
spbere. II is not directed against the
Church. but against the enemies of the
State. IT is not coed for the State TO
tolerate a privileged class of Industrial
lists or traders. or to abdicate some of its
legitimate and essential functions In
favor of an alien power or power not
responsible TO it or amenable to its con-
troll A Portuguese may be perfectly de-
vout and yet insist that the record OF
births and deaths shall be kept by a

entirely loyal to the faith of his Church

gagged in secular trades shall pay taxes

THE REVOLT AGAINST CLERICAL
TSH

II might be thought that even the most
reactionary Of ultramontane ecclesiastics
would recognize the puIport Of the
movements which are now in progress
in several of the most stanchly Roman
Catholic countries of Europe for the sep
:iration of purely civil from purely &c
ciesiasticaI functions, and, in Scriptulal
phrase. for rendering unto Cesar the
things which are CRsar'S and unto God
the things which are Gods. The great
ma jority of the French people are still
loyal to the doctrines Of the Roman
Catholic Church. but they have also
learned To be loyal 10 the French Repub-
lie So Spain is surely a Roman Catho-
lie nation. but il means TO have King
and Cortes at Madrid as well as Pope
and Sacred College at Rome. Portugal
is conspicuously devoted to the eccle
siastical doctrines of the Vatican, yet it,
State and free Church.
Note an item or two Of the provoca-
ton TO such courses In Portugal the
keeDing of vital statistics is in tie hands
of the clergy alone, and from the fees ex-
acted the Church derives snug revenue.
Now the government purposes TO take
that function unto itself, as nearly every
other government in the world has done;
whereat the ecclesiastics protest against
the attack upon the Church. 1t is no
attack upon the Church, but merely a
II tional assumption Of civil functions
by the civil government Again, in
Spain various ecclesiastical orders have
enga ged in secular industries and trade
10 a great extent, and demand exemption
from civil taxation Oh their farms and
factories, Oh the ground that they are
religious establishments. OF course this
freedom from taxation gives them an
enormous advantage over their secular
competitors. The imposition of taxes

TOlf4N'S FEET.

The parades of the London suffra-
gettes have furnished the splenet1c sat
urday Review with new argument
against woman suffrage. Women can
organize a procession, it jeers, but they
cannot walk in one. 1t is a mastery
move thus to divert the worlds atten-
ton from the heads to the feet OF the
agitating women, from their intellectual
strength to their disqualifying physical
weakness, for everybody knows that the
public affairs Of free country are not
decided by the ballot alone. Fully as
important to the common veal is it that
the voters shall tramp periodically over
many miles of cobblestOnes. SO we'll Is
this vital connection between liberty ana
marching understood in countries which
are not free that there the disfranchlsed
are forbidden TO parade at all. FROM
which one may conclude, il he be so
minded. that there are gains for all our
losses.
However. the practical answer to the
London weekly's disingenuous attempt to
befog the question has already been
found in Germany, where a number OF
women have formed an association
whose aim it is to proclaim the beauty
as well as the comfort and usefulness OF
large feet for the sex and to encourage
their cultivation The first step taken
by these women has been a resolution TO
wear the biggest shoes they can possibly
move around in. At first glance this may
look like feminine deceit, but let us re-
member that woman has from the begin
ming of time devoted a great part of her
ingenuity to the Disgusting and altering
of her personal appearance, For genera
tions she has danced in slippers that
we're too tight for her. Why. pray,
should she not march in seven-league
boots? They will certainly be symbolfcal.
The radical change Will have its pc
culiar difficulties for the American wom-

is willing to do anything for the further
ance of the cause whose feet will here
after be most impressive on our high

THE LADY IN CHIEF.

Kinrlake's Lady in Chief" survived
the great majority of her Crimean con
temporaries and bore fame which not
one of them surpassed. if, indeed, any oi
them permanently equalled it. That wal
had the advantages of being chronlcled
ard sung by one of the most engaging
historians and the most popular poet OF
the period, and it produced in the armies
of at least three of the combatantS men
os sDIend;d berGiSm and of deeds which
irresistiblv appeal to the sympathy and
admiration of mankind. At the same
time it was marked with some of the
most abominab bic horrors of warfare and
most discreditable examples of admins
trative incapacity and laundering, if not
OF sordid scoundrelism, and its origin
and causes are not so clear and just as
might be desired. so that we must reckon
it on the whole by no means a glorious
war" For this reason the most honOred
and renowned name connected with ii
NAV ultimately be not that of any soldier
of Balak klava or Alma or the Malakoff or
defender of SebastOpol, but that Of the
Lady of the Lamp of Scutari.
For the work of Florence Nightingale
during that war was wholly good. II
was equally benevolent in intention and
ist as any devotee of the Middle Ages
She was yet intensely practical She
was an innovator, a revolutionist, filled
with imagination and inspired with zeal
and often running directly counter to
the stubborn preiudices of her contem
poraries. She set herself to overthrow
tie fetch of "it can't be done" and OF
the reputedly and superstitiously sup
posed inevitable In that stupendous
task she spIendidly succeeded and she
left the way to similar success open 70
those who should follow her, as multi
tudeS of philanthrOpists have done. Her
work was as epochal as that Of Lister
and Pasteur in therapeutics. It not only
made possible but assured the subse
QueDt achievements of military nursing
and hygiene, from our own Sanitary
Commission to the feats of the Japanese
il their Russian war.
1t did even more than that Peace
learns of war, even more than war OF
peace. The impetus toward rational
scientific care of the wounded and sick
which was given by the labors Of Flor
ence Nightingale at Scutari has been
felt in every hospital and sanatorium in
the civilized world 1t was not only il
the British military service with its
strange compounds of heroism and hor
rors. that she was Lady in Chief, bu1
also in the service Of ministry to the
stricken and suffering throughout the
! world Her name was popularity re
vered. and she was the recipient in hel
| life of the highest official honors whicl
were within the gift of 4 grateful gov
ernment, and all these things and more
! she amply deserved. About some noble
! figures there have been created halos Ol
mists of imagination and legend which
largely diStort their actual personalities
! Not so with her. Tributes Of historians
and poets and traditions of the adOrins
recipients of her bounty never surpass
the simple truth Of that supremei!
! Womanly woman.

DRE4DNOUGHT N DESCETCDE

DREADNOUGHP N DESUETCDE.
There would seem to be some incon-
gruity III continuing 10 give the name of
nreadn0ughts as generic term to the
Hewest products of British military ship
yards 1t is true that the Lion, which
has just been launched. maintains one
Of the distinctive characteristics of the
earlier vessel, namely. that Of "all big
guns" But we are not sure that that
WAS so purely original with the Dread
I,ought of 1905-C6 as to entitle her to
d complete caveat upon it. Indeed, the
Dreadnought may plausibly be reckoned
not revolution but q reyersion to the
Devastation model of 1863. The Lion.
on the other hand, so greatly differs
from the Dreadnought in other exceed
ilgly important particulars as to sug-
gest the propriety of establishing her in
i new category OF her own.
The Lion is not, indeed. technically
clasSed as Il battleship at all, as the
Dreadnought is, but as an arlnOred
cruiser Yet. as a matter of fact, she is
the far more powerful fighter of the
two, able to strike the heavier blows
and probably, we should say. to endure
the more severe attack. The latter may
certainly be said of her on either Of
two plausible grounds. One is that Of
Farraguts famous and never discred-
tied principle. that ships best defence
is in attack and her protection is In her
guns rather than her arInor. For the
Lions ten guns of 1872 inches, throw
ing projectiles of ] $50 pounds through
o2 inches of armor at 5000 yards, far
Cutclass the 12-inch guns Of the Dread
r0ught. BroadSde for broadside, the
Lion is by far the more formidable: and
it might we'll be reckoned that this gun
superiority WAS more than compensa-
ton for the fact that the Lions armor
belt is only nine inches thick, to the
readnought's eleven.
On the other ground to which we have
referred the new ships superiority is
even more impressively marked. That
is, speed. Ever since the days Of Nelson,
indeed, Of Drake, the weather gauge.
the ability to choose and to hold ones
own position in action, has been recog-
niZed to be Of enormous advantage. OF
old ii was to be enjoyed partly through
actual speed before the wind and part
ly through clever seamanship. Now it
is to be had through steam-power speed.
The Dreadnought, with her II knots, is
swift rs are our own ships of the Della
ware class. which have the same speed,
ilut probably surpass the Dreadnought
in some other respects. But this APP
railing monster at DevOnport, with her
ponderous armor and tremendous bat
terry is to be hurled through the water
1T not less than % knots in regular
cruising. and at probably 30 knots on a
squirt. There is nothing else comparable
with that i'm the world
The price which is paid for this ef-
ficiency is enormous. The Lion Is by
far the largest warship atioat. The
Dreadnought displaces less than $4,000
