Woman Suffrage.

The suffragettes in Great Britain may
deem it wise to resort to militant meth
DDS in the effort to secure the franchise,
but the good sense of the American
people would not tolerate such proceed
ings here 1t is difficult to see how a
cause can be advanced by broken win
dows, showers of stones, and other
disorderly demonstrations, no matter
how meritoriouS the cause may be- In
this country female suffrage has made
Roadway in California and other States
because its advocates have debated the
question in dignifed fashion.
If the believers in woman suffrage in
this country, and they are many, should
indulge in such riotous outpourings as
have occurred in London, they would
lose the support of all intelligent people
Happily, they do not attempt it. Ameri-
can women are to be congratulated upon
having more sense than their English
sisters.

Reciprocity Is Not Dead.

With the Toronto Globe declaring
that there is already serious regret i'll
Canada over the defeat of reciprocity,
and with Sir Wilfrid Laurier telling the
Canadian House of Commons that Can
ada's action was an injury to Great
Britain, rather than service, inasmuch
as England will need the friendship of
this country in the great commercial
conflict which is impending. it is quite
certain that there will be d determined
effort to reverse the recent decision Of
our northern neighbOr.
Arguing that the high tariff in the
United States has been the ruling fac
tor in eliminating competition, and as
sorting that Canada is facing the prob
lem of trusts and monopolieS, Sir Viii
frid adds that the western section Of
Canada is already growing FESTIVE. With
his statement that ii was not the voice
of reason, but of passion, that prevailed
in the Canadian election there will be
that the question was neither discussed
nor decided upon its merits, but that an
appeal to a national spirit was the DOM
inant issue. Some of these days, and
the time may be nearer than was ap
parent two or three months ago, Can
ada will realize that the reciprocity pro-
posed was one of mutual advantage to
both countries and that a mistake was
made in rejecting it.
In the meantime, of course, there is
nothing for the United States to do ex-
cept to wait until Canada comes to
full realization of its error. 1t is worth
while noting. however. that reciprocity
is not dead.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
by A. w. MACY.
A COSTLY BOOK.


Strolling through the Bodleian
library one day. Lord Kingsbor-
ough, known in private life as
Edward King, happened to notice
an ancient Mexican manuscript.
He became SO interested in 1t
that he resolved to devote his life
to the study of Mexican antiqui-
ties. For ten years he labored
faithfully, and in 1881 the results
were published in a monumental
work of seven immense volumes,
almost two feet square. In these
volumes are printed, in livid col
ors, facsimiles Of the ancient
Mexican paintings that are pre-
served in the great libraries and
museums of Europe. In this
work he had a definite object, to
prove the ancient settlement OF
Mexico by a branch of the Israel
ties. But 1t proved to be his I'M
doing. He spent nearly $4,000
on It. and became heavily in
volved in debt. He was thrown
into prison on account Of this
debt, and died there at the age
of forty-two.

What the ColOred Rice Has Done,

The facts related by Bishop Query.
of South Carolina, at the recent session
of the Protestant Episcopal Missionary
Council in New Jersey, in relation to
the progress of the colored race in the
South, constitute a convincing tribute
According to his figures, colored men
own farm lands in the South q to the
value of $5oo.ooo,ooo; they possess prop
erty in Georgia alone worth $z8oooooo
and theih church property is valued at
$4o,ooo,o8. In Bishop Guerry's diocese
the average annual offering of colored
communicate is S., while the white
churchman averages only $40. In mat
tiers relating TO religion and education
the oolored man is manifesting a gen.
erous and intelligent spirit.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that Bishop
Query asserts that the Church owes
peculiar duty toward the colored people
of the South. They have accomplished
much under conditions which might
easily have led to Encouragement, and
they are entitled to all the assistance
which can be rendered them in their
effort to improve their material and
moral status. When it is remembered
that it has been little more than a gen.
Grafton since they were in slavery, the
results which they have achieved are
little less than marvellous.
Bishop Guerrys address is optimism
based upon a showing of substantial
facts.
