YOU had all that science and money

Your sheets were fresh and fragrant:

WHY MOTT.

While the general strike for suffrage
reform was on In Belgium the London
Spectator. in discussing 1t, described
II rs rather an armed demonstration
than war" which was designed ito
put an end to the Belgian electoral
system that gives prerogative vote
to the well-to-do classes"
The Spectator announced that the
Premier, who has a parliamentary ma :
jority. had insisted that the govern
ment would not concede i'm time OF
strike what il refused when merely
threatened by strike, and expressed
the fear that although hitherto the
attitude OF the men had been dignincd.
unless compromise was soon ar
ranged SC would he difficult to avoid
disorder
Then, in conclusion: IF the strike is
successful it is, we should think. not
unlikely to be initiated in other Con
tinental Countries for example, Ger
many. where the constitution appears
10 be democratic, but, in fact, is oil
garchic or autocratic."
me itelEl3n strike Is over me
government virtually did concede what
it refused when the movement was
merely threat, and success was
achieved without disorder. as was the
case in the Swedish political strike.
And that being go. why should not
1T be likely that imitation may not be
confined to the Continent, but extend
to England, if the "onc man one rule"
demand is not acccded to? BY the
token of the Spectators own conclu-
sions and approximations. the question
naturally and logically irtrudcs itself.
The truth is, The Belgian demonstra-
ton was not n Socialist strike, us it
has been generally described. In view
of the aid, comfort pnd encouragement
it received from elements having no
party Affiliations with or sympathy for
socialism, per Sc. and as commonly
understood. it was peaceful, demo-
cratic revolution. That empha sizes
the question. why might not what may

MANUEL'S MISTAKE.

Manuel, hanished king of portugas. is figuring on taking |advantagr of the prevalent un- rest in Portugal to find his way back to the throne.
 Portugal is in need of reforms, but they cannot be accomplished through the agency of a royal profligate like Manuel, who is more familiar with the dance hall .favorites of Paris and London than with affairs of his native country. He is an exile and drawing a big pension for stay = ing away from Portugal. He should be shaking hands with himself for his luck in retaining his head and his income, instead of plotting to regain throne he forfeited by reason of his dlSsn- lute habits.
