speaks for 1t now because neither of the old

In light Of these facts it may be asked why
granted In England. Seven times parliament
passed bills on second reading giving the vote
to women The eighth time 1t met defeat by a
small majority. The ninth time the majority
against was increased, In spite of the efforts
Of two men frequently dubbed as traitors and
hypocrites and called other names by sufragists
at home and abroad, who appear not to under
stand parliamentary procedure and the tyranny
of parliamentary rules in the hands of a strong
and shrewd minority.
English newspapers find the answer in mill
fancy, though English newspapers are accused of
classifying the record. an accusation to be ex-
pected 1t seems, at this distance. however, as
T. there must be some truth in the statement
In the first place. it is but natural that reaction
should set in In the face of the methods pursued
by the Pankhursts and their type In the second
place the lessening of the vote In favor of suf-
frage in the commons was coincident with the
coming to head of militancy Suffragettes will
probably claim that militancy was the effect and
not the cause OF this weakening of the cause
In the commons. and 1t may be 80, but to us it
seems reasonable in view of the facts, the I'M
animity of the opinion of the English press and
the reasonableness of the theory, based on we'll
known psychological fact, that fanaticism often
turns men against cause they might have been
inclined to favor, that militancy has worked the
temporary defeat of woman suffrage in Eng
land.

MONUMENT TO GEORGE ROGERS CLARKE.
Richmond and Virginia generally hopes that
Congressman Flood will succeed in securing the
passage OF his bill appropriating $4,000 for the
erection of monument in Richmond to George
Rogers Clarke. the conqueror of the great North
west, of which Ohio, Illinois and Indiana now
form a great part. General Clarke Is Virginian
who has never received the honor from State or
nation that is his due. 1t was through him that
the back country was saved and through him that
the claim of conquest was added to that of royal
grant to Virginia and 1t was through him that
Virginia was able to cede this vast territory to
the national government
The capital of Virginia is the place for the
monument and the federal government, which
gained more than the State through the con-
quest should provide the funds. twenty-five
thousand dollars is small amount to pay Vir-
ginia for her cession of this splendid territory.

a message to Congress recommend
ing this legislation with respect TO
disorders in the South.
"Shellabarger said that he would
call upon the President at the White
House that evening. He was as
tonished to learn that General Grant
was then in the Presidents room at
the capitol. He whereupon went to
the Presidents room and he found
several senators and two or three
members of the lower House in earn
est conversation with Grant. They
were all seated around the Presi-
dents table.
"Shellabarger heard General Grant
say that he was greatly opposed to
spending a message of that kind TO
Congress. He was afraid that such
action would tend to increase rather
than lessen political disorders ir the
South. He wanted peace. He abso-
lutely declined to write a message
of this kind.
Then some one said to the Presi-
dent that 1t might happen that he
would be called upon to use his ex-
CCulANC dQlhOAlty III utdiluB Win pO-
litical troubles in the South, and for
that reason 1t would be great deal
better if he were authorized by Con-
gress to act in this way than be
obliged TO act independently Of Con-
gress.
"Shellaharger told me that it was
easy to see that this argument had
made a profound impression upon
General Grant. He sat for a few
moments in absolute silence, evident
~ intently absorbed with his own
thoughts.
AT last the President said that this
argument had put the matter before
him in a new light, and for that rea-
son he was ready to prepare mes
sage to Congress recommending the
legislation. After a moments thought
the President added that he might as
well write the message then and there
