No State Guarantee.

From the Buffalo Express
The committee of nineteen State and
city officials and business men of Rhode
Island which was appointed by Gov.
Pothier to consider the plan proposed by
President Chamberlin, of the Grand
Trunk, to have Rhode Island guarantee
Sc. 900. 900 bonds for the completion of the
Southern New England Railroad, has is
sued statement declaring that it was
the sense of the committee that no such
arrangement be made. Gov. Pothier IA
vors the plan.
This proposition recalls the excuse that
was given by President Chamberlin for
suspending work on the Southern New
England road. When the outcry was
raised upon the announcement of the sus-
pension of work, he declared that the
condition of the money market forced the
Grand Trunk to take this course. There
was no doubt that the money market at
that time, with the Balkan troubles COM
ing to a crisis and talk of possible hos
tilities among the big powers, was in a
very uncertain state. There appeared to
be plenty of money in this country and
In Europe, but II was being taken out of
the European banks and boarded. We
soon began to send gold to Europe be-
cause of this boarding. New England
did not believe that the condition OF the
money market was the sole cause of the
suspension Of work on the new line. and
subsequent Developments appeared to
bear out its belief.

Good Men in the District.

President Wilson is to be congratu-
lated upon his announced decision that
he will appoint the District Commits
sioners from among the local aspir-
ants for the position.
The law, of course, is mandatory,
but it might be possible to amend the
law if the President insisted upon the
change To bring outsiders into the
District as our rulers would, however,
be an unwarranted reflection upon the
honesty, efficiency, and capacity of
District men.
President Wilson will have no trou-
bic in finding men within the borders
of the District who will make excellent
officials. He need not hasten in max
ing his selections. 1t would be better,
in fact, if he took plenty of time to
carefully look over the field. The
Washington Herald has no favorite,
but it does insist that local men shall
be appointed, and it will fight against
any effort to change the law.

not for themselves, and when il comes
to what was once known as hospitality
it is q mere question Of reciprocity.
There is, therefore, considerable
wailing and crashing of teeth in Ger
tain multimillionaire circles where it
has been generally supposed that be-
cause man happens to be rich, he is
therefore predestined for the position
of a member of the Cabinet or AM
bassador, or Minister, and the aston
ishment, amounting to stupefaction,
with which certain butterflies who
have lowered about the State Depart
ment under the impression that they
are peculiarly fitted for some Office at
home or abroad because of either their
supreme and constitutional smart
ness" or their relationship to distin-
guished persons certainly furnishes the
most sides splitting of actual farcical
comedies.
No longer will the essentially
smart" be able to float through for
eign courts on the strength of single
eyeglass, London wardrobe, and
special ability to figure in a cotillion;
and it is even to be feared that fash
ionable affiliations are considered rather
a drawback than the reverse. There
is no doubt about it; those members
of the Smart set" who have nothing
to recommend them but purely super
fetal qualities, are being decidedly
"dished' by our serious-minded Presi-
dent and our essentially radical Secre-
tary of State. A remarkable change
has come over the spirit of our politi-
cal dreams-the members of the
smart set" considered as "rich," are
in the Wilson-Bryan soup.

The Shrieking Sisterhood.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
crininally hysterical manifestations
that are disgracing the legitimate cause
of suffrage for women in the mother
country, and converting certain parts
of what was once Merrie England into
an arena worthy of comparison with
episodes of the French Revolution, will
never find even an echo among Ameri-
can women interested in the same sub
ject The peculiarly nervous organi-
zation and tendency to excitability of
many women when they come to any,
thing that approaches debate or argu-
ment are admittedly responsible for
these recent outbreaks.
1t is not for a moment to be sup
posed that there are not many women
interested in the suffrage cause who
cannot exercise self-control and hold
their own, even with some Of our best
equipped male orators, or that there
are not weak men who would, under
the same circumstances, indulge in the
same outcry and defiance of the law
as do some of the "shrieking sister
hood" but, on the other hand, it must
be evident that the standard of Votes
for women has attracted large pro-
portion of demoralized women who do
not hesitate to set what they daringly
denounce as 'man-made" laws at de-
hance by committing the most out
rageous overt attacks upon public and
private property From this to the
sacrifice of human life is obviously an
easy transition.
Even Englishmen, VIGOROUSLY less
indulgent, if not less sentimental, where
women are concerned, than men of
certain other nations, have been, in
deed, long-suffering with certain lead
ers and followers in the suffrage cause !:
and these men fully realize that it is
time to be less chivalric and con-
siderably more drastic in their treat
ment of these extreme and still excep-
tional cases. The torch, the acid, the
bomb, and even the finger nails, of
some of these insanely illogical English
women may, we trust, never be dupli-
Gated on this side of the Atlantic.
