to the fact that the end OF the rebellion
is surely and rapidly approaching. Gregg
Wagner and Morris Island were only
evacuated because had their garrisons
remained twenty-four hours longer in
them, they would inevitably have fallen
into our hands. Thus, those works were
fairly taken by force Of arms, rather
than abandoned because no longer of use
in the rebel plans Of defense. Ever since
Sumter was demolished the Richmond pa
pers have tried to keep up the courage
Of the rebels by insisting that so long as
they could continue to hold Wagner and
Gregg there remained hope that we should
ultimately fail In our operations against
Charleston. We are curious to see what
line of palliative hunnifuggling these
journals will resort to. now that what
they thus held out as q last hope OF
Charleston's safety has vanished. The
persistence Of the rebel authorities In de-
Tending Cumberland Gap and in holding
Chattanooga as their bases Of operations
in Kentucky and east Tennessee Is too
well known to require special comment at
our hands. They tell most irresistibly
that in losing these points the rebellion s

cumscribed. The continued occupation
Of those points was as necessary also
to the efficiency Of their. connections be-
tween Richmond and Georgia and south
Alabama. The result of their loss will
doubtless very shortly be seen in the
severance of their railroad facilities in
southwestern Virginia, and we think in
the abandonment Of Richmond. on the
fall or destruction of Charleston, either
OF which will involve the entire loss OF
that port for obtaining military supplies
from Europe. Within week after block

Connecticut Suffrage News.

The great success of the suffrage ex- hibits at the Connecticut Fair was suo- ject of congratulation to the whole board. The booth at Charter Oak Park had been secured by the Hartford Equal Franchise League but the State had shown its interest by lending the sui. frage exhibits from Headquarters in Hartford, and also by sending Miss Alyse Gregory, one of the suffrage organizers, to assist in the work. Last week Miss Gregory was equally busy and equally successful at the Willimantic Fair, which the State Association had also taken under its care. Most of the other Fairs in the State will have suffrage ex. hlbits and suffrage speakers, but the nearest local leagues are taking charge of the work, independently of the State Association. Danbury Fair, which next to Connecticut Far is the most important of the series will have force of workers | from the State Association in addition to the workers that are to be sent from three or four of the nearest leagues.

The The various suffrage associations and leagues in New Haven are all deeply in- terested in the issue, and the interest is by no means confined to the women who are demanding the vote on equal terms with the men. It is felt by many that the supposed gift of the school vote is only n bunco game, when the women are to be deprived of the right whenever it seems little inconvenient to the men to have the women voting. It seems as though the women were to be allowed to vote on school matters as long as they do not want to do so, but as soon as they | become interested in question and anxious to vote on it, they are to be de- prived of the right.

SAVING LIVES OF INFANTS
Humanitarian Movement One of the
Most Successful of Present
Day EndeaVor.

Among all the humanitarian move
ments Of the time, there is perhaps
none which has been more free from
the spectacular and the sensational
than that for the reduction of infant
mortality. 1t has been steadily prose-
cuted quietly and patiently though
with vigor and enthusiasm, both by
governmental authorities and by pri-
vate agencies. When there has been
anything wild or noisy in connection
with the matter it has come from
all-round world-reformers whose
tongues the mere fact that there is
such a thing as infant mortality Is
sufficient to set wagging, and who
think nothing of saying that there
has been an appalling increase in an
evil that exists, when they haven't
taken the slightest trouble to find out
ished
The workers so about the matter
very differently They fight infant
mortality neither because it is great
er nor because it is less than it was
so years ago. but because they know
that by the taking of proper measures
the lives of thousands of infants can
be saved, But they unquestionably
do find great stimulus, as we'll as
great satisfaction, in such figures as
those presented by DR. l.. Emmett
tlolt of New York, president of the
American Association for the Study
and Prevention of Infant Mortality,
at the annual meeting Of the asso.
citation in Washington the other 3sv
I'm 1890, in New York city, le -4..
"the death-rate was 2S.S per -
infants; in 1908 it was 1875 p,l 81 .-..
in 1912 only little more than It
per cent"
This means that in New York city
alone, for every infant that now dies
three would have died under the con
ditions of a quarter of a century age
that 10000 or 10000 little ones are
saved to their parents every year in
this city through the improvements
that have taken place.-New York
