Promisedf-That Happiness Would

Of the bitter years he had wasted
years In which he might have
made many persons happy. The re.
ward of good deeds was warm In his
heart this night and he forgot that
there was not one to offer him a gift
with loving words. He had received
the greatest of all gifts-the love and
gratitude of his fellow men.
The door softly opened and a wom-

The English Suffrage Vote.

labor members and 20 Irish nationaliSts.
In the opposing list of 1Sy were found

115 In the majority the conservatives
numbered 176, the liberals 124, while in
the; minority were recorded 10l liberals
and :. conservatives. The adoption of
this motion to refer has been said to
mean the indefinite poStpOnement of the
suffrage bill But this was not the under
standing of Mr.. Haldane, secretary for
war, who voted for the second reading
and afterward for the reference to the
committee of the whole, the latter on
the express ground that the suffrage Bill
had now become firSt-class question,
and SO entitled to be dealt with by the
house as whole. 1t is, of course, for
the government to decide whether facili-
ties shall be granted in the autumn ses-
sion for taking up the measure, but
whatever that decision may prove to be,
there can be no doubt that the vote on
second reading has made woman suffrage
frst-class question in English politics.

1t is not the function of any European
government to decide whether the United
States is or is not encroaching upon the
rights of any South or Central American
government. That is the essence OF the
Monroe doctrine, in specific terms. The
United States could not possibly grant
such prerosative to any of the powers
of Europe without consenting to an IN
definite extension of European influence.

seeks only the welfare of the republics,
that il desires no amalgamations or abb

occasion sharply demands such action for
the sake of its own commercial interests.

credited with perfect good faith toward

The keystone Party.

The independents of Pennsylvania have
challenged tffe two old parties for control
of the state They represent the sentl-
ment which holds not only that the po-
litical conditions in the commonwealth
badly need publication, but that the pres
ent race between the old organizations Is
fixed affair. 1t is charged that Sena-
tor Penrose. the head of the republican
party. virtually named both of the can
didates for governor. He first prepared
his own slate, and then kindly lent a
hand-while he had his hand into the
democrats.
Calling themselves the keystone party,
the men who protest Mr.. Penroses power
and his exercise of it have organized
for action Their numbers include both
republicans and democrats, and they
have drawn upon the old parties for their
candidates. The men who make up the
state ticket are we'll known, ana re-
spected wherever known.
The keystone of this keystone arch
the candidate for governor-is William H.
Berry, who, five years ago, in contest
for state treasurer whipped the repub-
lican machine, and was elected. In office
he made good by exposing the frauds
connected with the Aew state capitol. He
possesses the necessary ability for the
office he now seeks, and if elected would
know how to proceed toward carrying
out his part Of the promises his party is
making.
But can he be elected? The very prop
osition upon which the new party is
founded comedies great power to Mr..
Penrose. If he had working arrange
ment with the democrats by which he
selected their candidate for governor, is
it not likely, now his action has been
denounced by this independent movement,
that he will effect another arrangement
by which republicans and democrats may,
if necessary; play into each others hands
at the polls? He is a past master Of the
art of political combination, and the most
successful of all the pupils of the late
Mr.. Quay.
Conditions in Pennsylvania have long
been under censure. The indictment
dates from distant day. There were
brave men before Agamemnon. There
were Pennsylvania bosses before Mr..
Quay. though none his superior in carry
ing through desperate ventures. Now
and then prominent republican leaders
and newspapers have revolted, and. oc-
ca sionally machine plans have failed. But
machine rule was always able to ''come
back" and it is today apparently firmly
in control. Can such a campaign as has
now been planned destroy this control
The new party must hustle if in three
months it is to overthrow influences and
practices reaching down from years.
