mistic view. On a poll Of the people
there are barely two counties in the
north of ireland which are likely to
vote for exclusion. Their desire would
hardly be granted when they would
find the practical inconvenience 30
great that, assuming any wisdom and
moderation in the new Irish councils.
the seceders would be eager to come
into the fold before the expiry of the
full six years.
AS for any armed revolt more serious
than local riots in Belfast and London
derry. there are serious practical diff
cultles. What is to be the date for
1t? The signing OF the home rule
bill by the King or Of the exclusion bill.
or perhaps the end of the six year
term? 1t is pretty vague. And what
is to be the nature Of the revolt? Is
1t to be In the excluded counties or
those that reject exclusion. Or is
Ulster going to invade the rest OF ire
land with armed forces?

THE WAR OF THE WOMEN.
spirited Comment on the idea That the
Ants WIN Make II Unanimous.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: A
Rochester paper quotes Mrs Beatrice
Forbes Robertson Hale as saying to the
Rochester folk that the anti suffragists
will approve woman suffrage as soon as Il
becomes an accomplished fact. las con-
servative always approves OF whatever
exists"
But our British sister sorely maligns us
In this. We very strongly dsapprove OF
existing conditions In Colorado, for
instance. where woman suffrage has been
in full operation for twenty-one years
and where things have been In pretty
bad way for all OF that time. IL we may
credit the accounts OF Colorado's foremost
uplifter. Judge Ben Lindsey. Again, We
are not falling over each other TO set our
.. X. upon existent conditions in Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming. where women have
voted from eighteen to forty-fve years.
and where the Mormon woman vote en-
ables the prophet" Joseph +. Smith to
hold these States in the political hollow
of his hand
Speaking for one anti. permit me TO say
that ] am not crazy about conditions here
in New York. nor in my own State OF
Tennessee, nor in any other place where
woman's inhdel hand in the private rela-
tons OF life is reflected In the state and
In society. In affirming that two heads
are better than one" in the balloting my
English namesake drops into the usual
suffrage error or railing to discriminate
in the matter of heads
Votes are valuable only in the aggre-
gate, because they are merely counted.
not weighed but heads are rated differ
entity. Indeed, there are heads OF which
II may be truthtully affirmed that the
more of them you have the worse of you
are. and the further removed from any
just or rational conclusion. In my view
one good. level. common sense head. which
knows womans best contribution to gov
eminent is made through the family, IL
worth a thousand heads affected with the
suffrage bug" and the silly notion that
women can retrieve at the polls their
failures In the home.
The English Mrs. Hale says the ants
are a joke! But then you know the
English are famous for getting balled up
on Jokes. J. NJ. Barrie complained bit
terly OF tho English accusation that the
Scotch are devoid OF sense OF humor.
merely because the Scotchman. being
cautious by nature, looks askance at Eng
lsh jokes after some experience with
them!
SO It may be the Scotch In my veins
which causes me to look suspicously upon
this hilarity OF the English suffragette
over the plight OF the ants. and TO accept
with several more grains OF salt her pro-
fessions of affection for us because of the
service we have rendered her cause.
And whatever may be due to my Scotch
infusion. there is no sort OF doubt about
my Hibernian strain which never takes
any sass from the English. you know

magnanimous Mr.. MELLES artfully and
skilfully defending this remarkable con-
duct Of the late Mr.. MORGAN.
Finally. by accident, Mr.. FOLK shows
Mr.. MELLEN one of his own letters,
dated January Is, 1870 three weeks
before Mr. MORGAN purchased the stock
of the Worcester, Nashua and Roches-
ter Railroad for him. This letter
shows Mr.. MErLEN actively interested
In the amount OF stock that the Mutual
Life Insurance Company owns in the
Worcester. Nashua and Rochester Rail
road. 1t indicates active negotiations
for the stock by Mr.. MELLEN or Mr..
FUTILE or both of them at that date.
Mr.. MELLEN Is surprised. lie exam
ines the letter and states "On reading
this letter should say my testimony
was wrong in so far as II states that
Mr. MORGAN had not had up with me
the question Of this purchase before It's
being made"
Mr.. GRIM. the able counsel OF Mr.
MELLES, is more than surprised. He Is
grleved. almost indignant. Mr.. FOLK
has accidentally asked Mr.. MELLEN
something that was not rehearsed. Mr..
GRIM suggests that hereafter Mr.. Mel
LEN see all papers in advance.
AS he puts II ut adds. n better COM
plexion to our record II you do that"
Mr.. FOLK apologies and promises not
to go outside Of the rehearsal story
again.
The incident is thus closed. We can
almost see the omnlpotent Mr.. Nor.
GAN buying railroad as he would a
baseball ticket. We can almost hear
the surprised Mr.. MELLEN calculating
Jerusalem" or Holy CRsarea Phi.
llppi."
Truly, the complexion Of "our"
record Is . mighty important thing.

4 Mexican Plantation.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-SN: There
is a plantation of some 400 square miles,
per cent. OF which Is cultivated by some
500 Indian families. These people are all
born on the plantation. and their inheri-
lance Is CONSTITUTIONAL freedom and serf-
dom. transmitted by the nominal debt OF
their progenitors.
The average income OF q family. II all
male members work, may be from 20 TO
80 cents day. just enough TO keep them
from starvation and In drink supplied by
the master to keep the slaves moral
energy within reasonable bounds. Each
laborer has to perform a daily task: II
he fails he Ia nogged II he runs away
and is caught he is tortured and i'm
prisoned In the plantation Jail II he
strikes for higher wages he Is generally
shot. In case OF illness he gets English
salts till he gets well or dies. II he re-
covers the time he has not worked IL
set against him and swells his debt at the
rate OF two pesos "A day. To forget his
miseries the Indian gets drunk ON Sun
day. while the women go to mass. Such
is the Indians life until he dies.
The average wages paid on such planta-
ton are some 10000 pesos year, while
the net income amounts 10 not less than
400. 900 pesos a year. or more than 81 900
a day for one family and s240 daily for
500 families. OBSERVER.

Clothes Philosophy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-sir. Your
correspondent who quotes the Century
Dictionary about dress and is severe In
crticising feminine apparel is more
austere than the Scottish puritan Thomas
Carlyle. Let him turn to the "Reminis-
cences' and read about the wife OF Ed
ward Irving:
None but Irving and his wife, besides
myself, were there. Tho dinner from q
good Joint OF roast beef, in a dim but quite
comfortable kind Of room) was among the
pleasantest OF dinners to me, Madame her
self wearing nothing but smiles, and soon
leaving US together TO a fair hour or two
OF free talk.
Many visitors TO the Luxembourg
museum In Paris remember the artistic
representation OF Floreal. the typical
spring month "F. 8. D." could hardly
desire a costume 80 frank as that.

Lincoln and wilson.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str. In
furtherance OF the Mexican policy OF Pres
ident Wilson some curious comparisons to
strengthen II are being made.
1t Is said the proposed uplift Of the
Mexican peon by Woodrow Wilson IL like
the relief of African slaves from bondage
by Abraham Lincoln. To those acquainted
with the facts and conditions the illus
tration Is grotesquc. Mr.. Lincoln alone
was responsible for the act In his country
and no outside nation has then or ever
been allowed to interfere in the domestic
concerns OF the United States.
1t is to be hoped that President Wilson
will restrain his idea that he can extend
his dominating influence over all mankind.

Liquor and Revenue.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sn: A
strong and quite practical point TO
be considered in connection with nation
wide prohibition is the matter of reve-
nue. to the Government. The other day
read In a prominent financial journal
that II war with Mexico were prose-
cuted an increase In means OF revenue
would be necessary. to the extent OF
a stamp tax and probable raising OF the
income tax from the normal OF / per
cent. to say : or perhaps per cent.
Now deprive the Government OF income
from the sale of liquor and contemplate
the burden we would be placed under for
the sake OF a prohibition that wouldn't
prohibit, Would not that cause even
the most ardent supporters of nationwide
prohibition not temperance, mind you. TO
cry out in anguish? j. w. Il.

The health Of General FuNsToNs
troops at Vera Cruz, which were landed
on April 80, nearly month ago. Is a
natural subject OF soicitude with the
beginning Of the rainy season, but there
Is really nothing to fear except ma
laria. THE Suns correspondent at
Vera Cruz has gone thoroughly into
the matter and shown that vaccination
will save the army from an epidemic
of smallpox. and that. owing to eff.
Gent prophylaxis, typhoid has lost its
terrors As for yellow fever. the port
has been practically immune for Ave
years. Dysentery cannot he entirely
prevented in tropical climate, but II
yields to hospital treatment such as
can be readily given by the army sur
geons under present conditions.
That there will be cases of malaria.
more or less pernicious, among the sol
diers ashore IL to be expected during
the summer months OF intense heat aud
high humidity. Malaria is not often
fatal Nevertheless. II must be siren
uously fought: an Rnemic soldier Is
Of little use in n campaign. and malaria
can run through whole army. as was
the case in the Santiago experience.
Happily conditions In Vera Cruz are
favorable to n minimizing Of the all
ment. In 1895 the Medical Corps had
had no experience with tropical ma
laria Now the doctors can drive it

The Devil Dancers.

The new performances Of the Pank-
hurst devil dancers seem to be grating
on the nerves Of our much enduring,
doclle. downtrodden and henpecked
English brethren. There Is big talk Of
resuming forcible feeding and combining
the operation of the cat anu mouse act
to minor offenders.
The mushy sentimental weakness
and mistaken cbivalry with which these
sisters Of Satan have been treated by
the English authorities. to the full as
jellybacked and futile as even we
Americans could have been in like case,
have brought on constantly more dan

manifestation on the part of the nox-

navy or costermonger would be should
he dare to resort to the mildest of their
antics? And when they are locked up,
why should food be forced upon them?
There's better way. These sweet
ladies will eat They may maui and
claw like wildcats when YOU try to
make 'em eat. Try to starve 'em AMI
they will he almost as ravenous for
victuals as they are for publicity.
